Halo proves once again that video games and their stories are worthy of appreciation | TierraGamer: news and entertainment on anime, series, video games and technology

Despite its errors, the series managed to have a second season that in just four episodes already corrected several errors of its predecessor. Best of all, it does so while also showing respect for the story of its source material. Showing again that the stories of these media are worthy of cinema and television.

Halo is still going its way but with more respect for its origin

Obviously, being a second season, the series Halo must continue what has already been established. However, it is notable that the new managers want to leave that part aside to concentrate on a story that is more respectful of video games.

That's why this second season gives us its own version of the fall of Reach. For fans this is one of the key moments of the war between humanity and the Covenant. Seeing it brought to the screens, even with differences, is a sign that they already take mythology more seriously.

Of course, throughout these episodes we did not see a scene-by-scene recreation of Halo: Reachbut the important thing is still there. The planet begins to have chaos due to attacks on its communication facilities, a little uncertainty reigns and then we are faced with a total and devastating attack by the Covenant. Only this time the Master Chief himself witnesses everything, while at the same time adding an element of antagonism on the side of the humans themselves.

There are still four episodes left in the current season, but the name of the last one already makes us excited. The eighth and final episode of this season is precisely called Halo. Which already predicts that we could end up with one foot in an adaptation of Combat Evolvedwhich gave rise to this entire successful franchise.

The future of this adaptation feels very bright. About why it once again marks a trend change in Hollywood, which seems to have more respect for the history of the video games they adapt. Something we've already seen in other recent successful adaptations.

Fortunately, video game stories already show their value

It is not until recent years that video game fans finally receive good adaptations of some of their favorite series. We already have as an example Sonic, Castlevania, The Last of Us and Halo goes the same way. What these have in common is that they have the same things as their virtual counterparts, but to a whole new market.

In the past, Hollywood had this belief that video game stories were not interesting enough to make into movies. That's why they only took the name and some aspects of them to make their productions. Let's not forget Resident Evil with Milla Jovovich who preferred stories with superpowers and clones to following the events of the games.

Even the first Halo season fell into this trend a bit. After all, it focused more on the past on the Chief's Spartan program and on a rebellious young woman who doesn't even exist in video games. Fortunately, they took the fans' opinion into account and corrected the path for the second season.

We can already see the result in its critical reception, which was quite positive. Currently the second season has a 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Not to mention that many comments on social networks claim that the Reach episode is one of the best they have seen.

Although many of the audience may be fans of Haloit is also very feasible that there are casual spectators. Still, nothing stopped this season and its episodes from becoming one of the best shows of 2024.. All without needing to alter the story so much that it would be unrecognizable.

Halo also shows a balance that could be more interesting as it progresses

Something that is quite different in Halo It's the way it carries its plot. While the games have interesting stories, the dialogue and interactions between characters are not as much. That is why the series presents us with a balance between respect and alterations so that it works in the television medium.

Since television consumers are passive, you have to keep them interested in other ways. What the series does is introduce several dramas interconnected to the main plot. This time they succeed very well with Ackerson and his plan to hide the Reach attack.

At the same time the series of Halo gives us a deeper and more rounded protagonist with the Master Chief. In the video games he is almost mute, but this is so that the player can give him his characteristics.' On television we can't have this and Pablo Schreiber gives us a boss with quite a few nuances. Of course, he does not hesitate to present us with the unstoppable war machine when the opportunity warrants it.

Furthermore, we cannot forget that these series must maintain a certain surprise for both new and old fans. Otherwise, those who enjoyed the video games would already know exactly what will happen and it takes away the excitement of everyone.either. Therefore, it is evident that we will continue with some changes, but they must maintain the balance and respect that they already showed this second season.

You have to give them a chance and let them know that they do things right.

With all this and with four episodes missing, I invite all those who have not seen the series Halo to give it a chance. I even encourage you to skip the first season and start with this one since in some ways it feels like a soft reboot.

It is important to have an audience, to show them that the way they are doing it is going very well and that in this way they can achieve a production that has viewers coming back every week. This way in a few years we could have a very worthy adaptation of the entire original trilogy that captivated millions.
