Why do so many people want Chief to die? :/ While Halo's story does not revolve around Master Chief, he is the central character of the Halo Universe, to me killing him off would be like killing off Link in the Legend of Zelda series or killing off Mario...
So why do so many people want him to die? It's actually a little bit disturbing actually >_> I've never encountered fans of any series actually asking and wish for one of the favorite characters to be killed :/
You will find, that after three more games, even you will be sick of him.
Not likely, I don't ever get sick of characters I like or stories I really enjoy. I think killing Chief off would be the wrong idea, I really do.
The difference between killing Link in Zelda and killing the Chief is that the Master Chief's story is one, epic saga, where Link has a series of mini-adventures with no end. And at the end of the saga, what will he do?
If you've seen the Matrix *SPOILERS*
Neo sacrifices himself to save human kind, in a similar manner to a Messiah. The Master Chief would willingly do so to protect the universe if it came to it.
Halo isn't like Zelda, where there'll be hundreds of games for all eternity, never ending the story. 343i has said that they have the story planned out from beginning to end. It would be poetic for the Chief to die so the rest of us can live. That's his purpose.
Besides, he has no other reason to live but to fight. All of his friends are dead, and whatever life he could have had is gone. And all warriors die eventually. What matters is what they die for.
We're not asking for his death out of some sadistic need to see him die. We're asking for an emotional cap on the story.
