Unskippable: Halo 4

[Imp_Emissary]

Spoiler: You've seen it.

Did the first half of this remind anyone else of MovieBob's first Big Picture about how Halo made the Spartans in Halo kind of seem a lot like if someone tried to do the Spartan's(the real spartans)/Nazi's "Make your own Master Race" project, and Succeeded?

That whole thing was kind of creepy, but I wasn't sure Bob was 100% right about it. Now I think he was definitely on to something.

I mean hell, "You can tell the spartan transformation worked because their eyes turned blue"!
xD HA! That is just too wrong to be just a coincidence.

(Disclaimer: No, I don't think Halo is pro nazi. I doubt that was the reason for it to be made like that.)

No. It's not.
Halsey may believe it as such, but not anyone else. In the universe, ONI and such look at Spartans as tools, UNSC look at them as soldiers, the average person (during the human-covie war) looked at Spartans with a sense of admiration but also a sense of fear and most believed them to be freaks.

No one really believes them to be the next step outside herself.

I think you misread what I said.
I didn't say that the people in Halo think the spartans are master race project results. I said that the spartan project was made (by the people who made Halo) to look like a successful master race project. As Halsey said, it was successful, and as you said she (who I assume was the person in charge of the project) saw it as a master race project.

In short, yes, it is a master race project.
That said, while they did make good soldiers, it doesn't sound like they are going to go on and become the future of humanity like the doc wishes. In that way, it is a failled master race project.

God, I hated how wimpy and pathetic Cortana became in Halo 4. She was far more competent and likeable in the first 3 games.

I like to think 343 saw Bob's video and made it a master race project just to spite him.


OT: Was there a lot of dead air in this one or is it just me?

Why does the AI need sideboob? Oh, I know... it's for the male Spartans. "Yeah, you'll have to take orders from an AI chick, but we'll totally give her sideboob you can ogle." I wonder if the female Spartans got a buff male AI in a Speedo or something.

Here he is.

But in all seriousness do you really want that? At this point I feel like his hidden face is kinda a running gag and showing what he looks like would sorta ruin it. I mean it's not like his face is going to be anything special, I'd rather just keep it hidden for fun.

So is the game trying to justify the creation of the Spartans, the means by which they were created and their original purpose to us out here in reality? Cuz that has some uncomfortable connotations...

Why not? It's not like she needs to dress for warmth.
