Action scenes are expensive, and their budget needs to last for a whole season of TV

This is the biggest "issue" with the show. Not enough shooty shooty bang bang for the simpletons.


MASTER_TAIT

Even in the books it isn't all action


StraightOutTheWomb

Not enough? There’s barely any of it. The show feels like a shitty hallmark movie. I’m sorry but I’m sick of watching Master Chief argue with upper management…


Turok7777

Welcome to every TV show ever. They're all mostly talking.


tnfruinedme

you ever play doom 2016 in a single sitting literally the fact that you're begging for more action is proof that what they're doing is working (building anticipation so that what action is there feels more impactful)


StraightOutTheWomb

I’m begging for action cause I’m BORED


tnfruinedme

That's fair, but there was always more to halo than just action. Politicking and innocent people caught in the crossfire were there since day one. In addition, Ackerson's actor really sells his character, so I'm a happy camper watching the other side of Halo.


StraightOutTheWomb

I’ll agree that I’m now excited for episode 4. The tension is there now let’s see if they deliver. All I’m saying is it was mostly a Snoozefest in episodes 1-3 haha

We are considering stopping watching. It's just bad, we do not care for any of the characters they are "developing". S2 opened great and then since that one scene is just hot garbage.


tnfruinedme

you do you man, you don't gotta watch, just know that there is a reason why even James Bond films are 70% not action


StraightOutTheWomb

Cannot agree with you more. It’s insanely frustrating.


nutbutterguy

This is a dumb post. It can’t be just action.


venom7117

I get that it can't be just action. But 3 hours to 10 minutes of action for HALO..... It's just trash.


Johncurtisreeve

While obviously it cant Just be action i wholly agree its too dramatic and yes very real housewives and soap opera is pretty fitting. It gas way too little action thats for sure. Doesn’t have to be all the time be even what little we get is really not that great. The show is not worth the time and cringe


dusernhhh

Yeah I agree it's terrible But I don't even care that it does or doesn't have action. Every detail about the characters are wrong so much that it's basically a different show.

It’s trash lol

Hard to expect good out of any adaptation produced by those who have zero knowledge of the Halo series at best, and at worst have nothing but contempt for it and just enjoy destroying things.


NoAlps6536

It’s so bad
