"Sometimes life gives you lemons, and then you have to say 'f**k the lemons' and bail."
If you're reading this, you need to stop stalking me. If you can't stop stalking me, you might as well go here.
Ralph's entire existence is a result of poor writing.
The idea that any military body would let a former, and mentally unstable, member of a top secret program with moral implications, such as kidnapping children and subjecting them to high-risk experimental surgery, back into the general populace is just....seriously, who the hell wrote this?
I mean, look at every other SII washout that survived; they're all working desk jobs with ONI. And then you get Ralph, who they must have told, "Okay, you can go, but promise not to tell anyone about the whole stealing you from your family and pretty much ruining any chance you ever had at leading a normal life, okay?"
I just don't get why Halo's story has been handled the way it has since Halo 3. ODST was alright, but then we get to Reach, and all parties involved decide "Oh hey, -blam!- that fictional universe we've been building for the last decade!"
And of the supplemental media, such as comics and the like; I'm sure there are plenty of talented, unemployed writers out there who could sacrifice "artistic licence" for the sake of continuity.
I'm in full-blown rant mode now, and I'm not really sure where I'm going with this aside from "Holy -blam!-, guys; a fifth grader can write a more cohesive and consistent story than you."
But for now, I have to get ready for work.
