I'm just butthurt that they turned MC into a mindless, thoughtless, wool over his eyes military asset being manipulated by Halsey.
Whereas in the game, he knew what had to be done and even commanding officers let him do his thing.

I see no difference in how the show is handling him, honestly. He might as well have come straight out of Fall of Reach. I legitimately don’t see any evidence in the show that he’s mindless or thoughtless. One of the first things we see him do is refuse a given order.

In previous Halo canon (at this point in the timeline, comparatively) he was only ever a good soldier that solved the problems the UNSC or Halsey pointed him at. He literally never had a will or desire his superiors didn’t tell him to have.

I don’t know what Halo stories you’re reading or experiencing, but they’re not the same ones I have apparently.
