The makers of the Halo show literally bragged that they never read the books or played the games and they were surpised when the show flops

I don’t think that’s actually the case. They said they spent several weeks in a “Halo boot camp.” What I think they meant is that they didn’t look at the books or games as stories they had to follow, which is even worse. They experienced those awesome stories and thought their generic sci fi show was somehow a better solution.
