Subject: Do you accept Halo: Legends as being canon?

Legends is canon, there's no escaping it. Personally, I believe the only reason why anyone wouldn't accept is as canon is because they didn't like it or because it wasn't made by Bungie.

It fits, but it really sucks and the animation is ugly and looks out-dated.

You were totally and absolutely correct in every way, I don't know why we were arguing, you're so amazing I should never have doubted you.

Nope.

Mostly this. Unlike Cryptum, Legends is too bad for me to forgive possible contradictions.

Deal with it.

It's canon, except Odd One Out.

Indeed, it is canon, but not Odd One Out part.

Odd one out was the stupidest thing I have ever seen. Other than that it was pretty good lore-wise..... except for some of the visuals. Elites in Samurai armor? Japanese Forerunner ruins? Those retarded booster frames?

Other than that, I consider it cannon.

Yes I do. I do not take the manner in which things are visualised too seriously.

You're 19.

Yeah

I guess you are Erickyboo on Waypoint then.

I accept it. The only thing I've ever seriously had a qualm with is the appearance of Halsey, but I realize that was just an artistic choice on the studio's part/eye-candy.

Besides, the Prototype was wicked bad ass. Of course I'm going to accept that.

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

Good, because it doesn't count.

Elites in Samurai armor?

Did you miss Halo 2?

Japanese Forerunner ruins?

Did you miss reading Cryptum?

Those retarded booster frames?

Would you prefer they used those Pelican deathtraps in space?

  • 06.02.2011 3:59 PM PDT

No. Jesus Christ no.

That's just about one of the worst things I've ever seen. And it being Halo branded just makes it worse. Almost all of those shorts were terribly written.

The Package and the one about the Ancient Elites both made me want to projectile vomit. The rest were semi-bearable.

Well, you can cram all of the Spartans in a Pelican and give the Covenant an easy Killtacular I guess.

  • 06.02.2011 4:23 PM PDT

I like Halo as a science fiction partly because it doesn't have things like that (and of course because its got such an amazing and expansive story) and it didn't have to be a pelican. Maybe longswords?

The episode clearly said they weren't human ruins.

@DecipticonCobra

Honor Guard armor and and an elite wearing this are totally different.

Halo cryptum mentioned nothing about Japanese Pagodas, which was in legends.

And instead of those booster frames, they could have used a prowler, a longsword fighter, a sabre fighter, a jetpack, a monkey with gas from eating too much beans.... anything else but something that retarded.

Because modern humans clearly knew that they once had an interstellar empire that defeated the flood, but lost to the Forerunners long long ago....

No.


Hell No.


It was entertaining but the artists didn't fully understand the universe they were depicting, and a lot of artistic liscense was taken.

And the odds of ancient human architecture exactly mimicking japanese pagodas are slim to none.

It's frickin stupid and you know it.

And you're right there was no specific mention of architecture in Cryptum. Yet the adjunct in the reissued Fall of Reach clearly mentions that archeologists have found additional ancient ruins that they believe to be Forerunner, yet bear the same architectual accents of structures various human cultures have created.

Considering humanities existence so far back in the past as an advanced race, it is hardly a stretch to reason that said ruins in the adjunct are not of Forerunner, but ancient human design, and in turn so are the ruins in the Babysitter. It's already been confirmed by Frankie that the ruins are not of Forerunner origin, and at present moment there is nothing else but evidence that points to it stemming from ancient humanity.

Also do you honestly think that a prowler or longsword fighter can really get into the thick of a Covenant fleet and allow Spartans to freely search and board multiple ships?

Why don't you state why in your eyes the booster frames are retarded rather than just stating that it is.

And the odds that Forerunner artifacts conveniently being on human worlds leading them to halo is just as slim.

Or a Forerunner keyship being on the prophet homeworld, which is a race the Forerunners fought a defeated.

And, to be honest, it's not that super odd. For all we know, that planet was populated by the same group which would end up being the Japanese.

Hell no with the dumbass one with all of the Spartans flying around on little jets.

No, except for Origins, I do not consider it cannon. The one I consider the least cannon is probably The Duel. I mean, seriously? Since when were Elites just Japanese people in different bodies? Not to be racist or anything, but thats retarded. I consider Odd One Out to be more cannon than that.

Not to mention The Babysitter. Ugh. SOOOOO freaking cliche with the stupid anime Spartan girl thing at the end.

The only one I even remotely liked was The Package, and they even managed to screw that up.

I think Legends is a huge slap in the face to Halo. It makes Cryptum look like the best book ever. And that says something.

Of course, this is all just my opinion.


Even if it was what Bungie had in mind, I refuse to believe that Elites were like that, and that the females had different bodies.

WHOOPS I didn't mean Odd One Out. I meant the one with the Elite's cultures.
