    Holy shit, the algorithm has blessed me this day. This isn't just a video essay on how to adapt Halo, you're literally breaking down this franchise in a way I've never even considered before.
  • @sharpshot404
    It’s crazy how the Halo Wars games managed to nail these vibes in both games and they weren’t even designed by their original dev teams.
  • @RyneLanders
    This was an incredible video. And no exaggeration here, it was truly cathartic. Youve put into industry and technical terms the feeling all of us fans have been experieincing for a long time now but never knew how to convey.
  • @ConcreteHeat
    This man just dropped the best video essay I have seen and just straight up murdered current Hollywood.
  • @jacepalermo6053
    You, marty, and halo VFX should all throw together a huge collaboration! Me and many others would love to see a full length film eventually and you guys are the ones we trust most!
  • @fidalf99
    This guy knows what he's talking about. Cinema-wise and lore-wise.
  • Honestly the best incarnations of great movie adaptions for halo were the marketing ads for halo 3, ODST and reach, not to mention the landfall short.
  • @Daggerpaw1
    Never thought I'd get to hear Niko Bellic educate me on the philosophy of halo storytelling. Great video and you deserve way more subs!
  • @freechalupa6722
    This is the best analysis of Halo's story, and what makes it unique, that I've ever seen. As a fan from the CE days, it's validating to see someone articulate these ideas so much more clearly than I ever could.
  • @Joenzetie
    You deserve way more subscribers dude. Genuinely amazing work.

    Master chief: Fucks up the covenant. Master cheeks: Fucks the covenant.
  • If I ever win the lottery, I'm getting you to write a movie script for halo, and paying off whoever i need to, to get it produced.
  • @statemonster
    This went in my Works Of Art playlist, this has put words to the thoughts I had about what was putting me off the show. This is incredible, your love for Halo is shown here and I do hope in the future the game are done justice.
  • Wow I straight up thought you were a much bigger YouTuber. You deserve more subs holy shit
  • @damian4727
    Jesus christ I feel like I just walked into someone’s personal studio room by accident but I was invited actually.That alone was an experience through out this video.I have no doubt in you to make things come to light.Spectacular video and best of luck my friend.
  • @JemKadetchy
    I think whats missing is covenant dialogue aswell. Show how righteous they believe they are, the covenant is essentially Templars in the crusade.

    I’m at work sitting in my car as a 35 year old man—-teary eyed. This game meant so much to so many of us growing up. You broke down the formula perfectly and as a life long fan of halo, witnessing these injustices corporations and studios have practiced on my favorite gaming franchise has been depressing to say the least. I hope one day we can get the perfect tornado of creativity again in a studio. I wish we could say we didn’t know what we had—-but we did. That’s why we lined up in droves. I appreciate all the work you put into this video. Absolutely brilliant. Giving you a like and subscribe to hope for your future success.
