[HATED] Adaptations done intentionally without help from the source

[u/Chill0000]

Halo TV show: Before the show came out, the writers were praising their decision to not look to the games for inspiration when making the show

God Of War TV show: Chris Judge, the actor of Kratos in the games from 2018-Now, spoke up about his dislike on the show not hiring anyone who worked on any of the previous games. One of the original creators of Kratos also spoke up about them not having faith in the adaptation.

Supergirl 2026 film: the director for the film not only said he decided to not read Woman Of Tomorrow, the comic the film is adapting, because he wanted to do his own thing, he also didn’t look at comic art for inspiration to design Lobo and instead used an AI image generator to design Lobo’s look for the film

We were playing it in school during computer class. Some kid install Halo and OG COD for us to play on LAN. so we were e playing each other under our teachers nose which was way more fun that a campaign, which I'm not even sure we could play tbh.

Yeah, then no matter what I were to tell you, you wouldn’t care. So why are you even bothering with asking?

I'm asking what you think is the core of Halo.

I can explain what the core of Uncharted is or Dragon Age since those are my beloved games.

Do you think I'm defending the Halo show or something? I'm just trying to see how the missed the mark. By listening to a human rather than read a synopsis.

If you don't want to that's fine as well. Good day.

The core story is about a Super soldier with a incredibley powerful AI saving humanity after they stumble upon a universal super weapon meant to obliterate all life in the galaxy. The covenant(the alien races) worship these rings, and Humanity discovers their true purpose and is trying to stop them from being used because the covenant have no clue what their true purpose is. It’s not a super deep story, but it’s truly loved by those that actually played the campaigns. So it shouldn’t have been that hard to tell the actual story of halo. Everything after Halo Reach was made by Microsoft’s team of drones that did not care about anything other than multiplayer, so I’m not faulting you for thinking the “core” of the game is PvP. Sure that was a fun thing to do, but the actual story of Halo is about the sacrifices we make to be a hero.
