Halo Actor Pablo Schreiber: ‘If You Don’t Agree With the Helmet Coming Off in the Show, You Don’t Like Our Show’ - IGN

Halo actor Pablo Schreiber has doubled-down on the Master Chief helmet off / helmet on debate, insisting it’s impossible to like the show if you don’t like the fact the super soldier takes his helmet off.

Speaking to SFX magazine, via GamesRadar, Schreiber pulled no punches in defending the decision to remove Master Chief’s helmet for the show.

"People who don’t feel the helmet was necessary to come off, they’re at such an early conception of what the show could be," Schreiber said.

"In order to examine the discrepancy between these two versions of the character [Chief and John-117], you can’t tell that story without taking the helmet off. If you don’t agree with the helmet coming off in the show, you don’t like our show. So, there’s no point discussing it."

While Schreiber appears to agree with the decision to remove Master Chief’s helmet, it’s clear he did not agree with Season 1’s controversial sex scene. Last week, Schreiber insisted it was a “huge mistake” for the iconic super soldier to have sex.

Well OK... I don't care about the helmet, or the show for that matter.

So what does it make me?

 

[Zzero]

I mean, I've always thought the show was trash, and I didn't even have to watch it to think that.

It feels like every actor and showrunner suddenly became oblivious to basic rules of audience engagement.

20 years ago it would have been ridiculous to even think that an actor would talk shit about its show's fanbase, but nowadays it's almost like the norm.

The previews are already insufferable, I can't imagine having to sit through a whole episode.

MC is not a man with a face. The show producers don’t understand the game.

 

[balrogboy]

I mean, yes.

They thought that they were working on a futuristic Master Chef.

 

[Loy310]

But there is no futuristic Master Chef in any halo games, so why deviate so far from the source. Hollywood is so dumb, this was a lay up aaaand brick.
