Subject: The Spire: A Giant Dick Reference? (no pun intended.)

Before I tell you what this will be, I'll tell you what it isn't. It isn't a blind "UhhH, TeH Spirs look liKeS a DiCk cuz itz TaLl anD pOinTy!!" No, this runs deeper than this.

Throughout Reach's campaign (and indeed in the novels and other mythology throughout the Halo universe) that the fall of Reach was a quick, decisive, and forceful victory for the Covenant, with any resistence from the UNSC being next to useless when compared to their ultimate fate. Up until the ending, the entire campaign could be described in this manner.

In TotS, we see one of the UNSC's stands against the domination of the Covenant. In the end it culminates against the action against the Spire. But the Covenant knew that any action taken against thim to prevent them from reaching their goal would only result in further violence and brutality against the UNSC. In Reach, we see this immediately in the destruction of the Grafton, and in the fall of NA later on.

This is clearly a parallel to -blam!-, one that rivals the symbolism used in Alien. The victim is rendered helpless as any resistence leads to her death or injury.

Look at the Spire again: You don't even need to use your imagination. It clealy looks like a giant dick. There are other examples as well: The Zealot stabbing Emile is a good one.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

You're argument is invalid.

Reach is one gigantic innuendo. The proof is all up there.
