Both the lines "I have defied Gods and Demons" and "This is the way the world ends" are both direct quotes from Princess Mononoke. The second full line (in the film) is "So this is the way the world ends...."

I think it's important to note that in that movie, it essentially appears to be the apocalypse, because the head of a god is cut off, but the two main characters manage to save it against all odds. Anyone else who's seen the movie, any other speculation on its meaning?

Not with a bang but a whimper.


Not bad for an existentialist.

I must add that Cortana's behavior gives me a feeling of...nostalgia.

Probably a weird coincidence.

He watches every Hodgetwin video they put up...on ALL their channels. He calls them the Hodge Triplets, and considers himself the 3rd triplet. He's started talking and acting like them now. Every other line out of his mouth "Thaaas some BULLLLLL**** maaayne" or "Gotta make dem gainzzzz". He calls his biceps "gains". When he eats post-workout, he talks to his biceps, "Don't worry gains, I'm feeding you. Daddys gonna feed you, gainz *kisses biceps*".

I think it's interesting that Cortana used the term "gods and demons". Gods are the Forerunners, according to the Covenant, and the Master Chief is a demon (I don't know about the other Spartans, I think it's likely just him because he destroyed Halo). Very interesting indeed... does this possibly mean Cortana's had a little run in with a Forerunner or something? Or perhaps, she's taken over Gravemind (he could be called a demon, maybe), and defied the Forerunner's will (which was to destroy all life in the galaxy).

Interesting stuff.

"probably a weird coincidence"

Haha, admittedly, that could very well be the case.

Actually, first it was written by T.S. Elliot. Which someone already pointed out, but also, Cortana used this wording before, long before any of you knew what Halo was.

that is interesting, i definitely think cortana had a forerunner encounter, she says she defies them, so maybe what she learned from the forerunners makes her defie the chief

Yeah, that's true, that line is first from T.S. Elliot (and then the Cortana Letters), but the Gods and Demons is from that movie.

I'm sorry, the Bungie Forums really need a search function (or I am just retarded, which could well be the case, and someone point me to where it is).
