it wouldn't even be half as pathetic is there wasn't a Halo TV show currently running on a similar major network.

this is a bad joke at this point. Block the goddamned deal and let's move on.

The Halo TV series flopped as it had the wrong people in place. Its like a group college project where the lad who did fuck all, claims the credit and demands to give the presentation which he fucking bombs.

Plus nobody gives a fuck about Halo anymore.
Because they gave a prestigious IP to a bunch of lazy cunts who had nothing to do with its success. Those lazy cunts in turn fucked up the MCC for a while which should have been a basic slam dunk to start off with. The wounds were self inflicted.

The show had less than zero impact on anyone’s interest in the tired, cliched Halo property due to the decade of shitty games and broken remasters it had gone through before the show even came out.

Halo has been irrelevant in the real world since Reach at the latest.

The Halo TV show (I stopped about 3 episodes in) looked like if you told someone the plot of the Mandalorian to someone who never saw it and they tried to change Mandalorian to John Halo and submit the script as their work.

Bungie wouldn't have allowed that and 343 allowed an utter melon to oversee such a shit adaptation

Let's not forget that Bungie approached Microsoft with a Sci-Fi MMO set in the Halo Universe. When MS said no, Bungie left and made a little game called Destiny.

Proof, if ever any was needed, that MS haven't a clue about the industry.

That is one that ALMOST makes sense, when you consider that Halo Wars was a flop because the Halo audience are too dumb for RTS gameplay. MS just wanted more straightforward, original recipe Halo and not anything more complex, and Bungie was the Halo studio.

Of course, where MS was really stupid was in chaining Bungie to the Halo IP and refusing to let them do anything else, forcing them to buy their freedom and leave Xbox to rot.
