Pablo Schreiber, the face (quite literally) behind Master Chief's helmet in Paramount's Halo adaptation, thinks it was a "huge mistake" to introduce a romantic relationship for the Spartan warrior. In fact, he pushed back against it.
As a reminder, in the first season of Halo, Schreiber's John-117 has sex with human-turned-Covenant agent Makee, as Cortana watches on. They were Cortana in the act, if you will.
He tried to make his thoughts heard, saying he "argued against it and fought against it". But as is evident by the first season, the actor "wasn't listened to", with Schriber stating: "But I am who I am. I don't write the scripts. I only give my opinion."
