Yerin Ha, the actress playing her does a good job, and the character isn’t unlikeable either. Pablo Schreiber, who plays Master Chief is also cool, but it very quickly starts to feel like another thing. It feels like another game that probably felt more adaptation-friendly from the get-go.

And we can’t say any of this is straight-up bad. What we can say, however, is that this has gone from being the story of a soldier on an alien planet accompanied only by his AI waifu to being an escort mission, everyone’s favorite kind of mission.

We get it, the formula did wonders for the reimagining of both Wolverine and Kratos in Logan and the last God Of War respectively, but it won’t work every time. That’s especially true when the show also brings space politics into the fold, a decision that only did wonders for the Star Trek fans who wanted to see Star Wars crash and burn.
One thing that totally rocks, however, is how the Master Chief took off his helmet right in the first episode, and now he just says f*ck it and removes the entire suit. We don’t think it’s necessarily a good thing, but it’s at least something that’ll piss off toxic fans and confuse everyone else in a hilarious manner. Why is Master Chief wearing something akin to a Marvel hero suit for such a long time?
