Halo has been cancelled.

From Variety.

Folks seemed to like season 2, and sounds like MS is still interested in a third season if another studio picks it up.
I only watched the Pilot and bounced; just not for me.

Also next time, get to the point before Season 3. Now there is no Season 3, so there is no point to watching any of it.

The first episode was really bad.

But it got better and better from there to the point where it was kind of enjoyable.

Too bad. Another show killed by toxic fans. The way they talked about the show you’d think it killed their grandmother.

I watched both seasons and I wasn't impressed. At least I won't get to see the Chiefs face again, which I never wanted to see. Plus I am glad to never see his naked ass again, I've seen the Chief's naked ass more then I've seen my own naked ass, and I'm 63 years old.

I think the real reason has more to do with Hollywood cutting costs wherever they can, and streaming losing assloads of money.

Season 2 was a noticeable improvement over Season 1, but was still a fairly poor adaptation of the source material, so I can't say I'm too bothered by this development. Was looking forward to where they were going with the Monitor stuff we saw at the end of Season 2, though. Oh well.

Well, THAT'S a shocker. /s

This keeps happening, and it's increasingly bewildering to me that it seems no one in charge of these things is learning a golly-gosh, darned, THING! Where... folks take an IP, and instead of building off the guardrails of what worked! A WORLD-BUILT, pre-built, all the hard stuff plucked from imagination both made and established. They take THE EASIEST FUCKING THING, and instead of just making the recipe and a DUMP TRUCK OF MONEY, these FUCKING IDIOTS with their FUCKWAD EGOS take a dump on the very threads THAT OBVIOUSLY FUCKING WORKED! 'Cause, if it didn't, THEY WOULDN'T HAD REASON TO BUY IT IN THE FIRST PLACE! It's MINDLESS, BOONDOGGLE, IDIOCY!

It's like... buying a candy bar, CASH MONEY, THEN THROWING AWAY THE CANDY BAR! Oh, but sweet, at least we have the wrapper! That's CLEARLY what people want, NOT THE FUCKING CONTENT!

They just bend over and drop a bunch of gophers, LAWD!

...And LOOK!... Look! I know, I see that there are those of you here that saw some degree of merit in the attempts, minority that such observations be. And I think, should there be any hidden morsels of reason in this digital sea, that part of the reason for the internets ire is how, often, there is no building of trust. No or little proof in the care of the Intellectual Property espoused on the screen, enough so that some degree of momentum can build to allow tangential takes on whatever character, place, or event. Game of Thrones TV show is a decent example of this. Despite the degradation, there was allowed forgiveness (before the stumped end), as it was proven at start that there could be good works made with the content.

I've not watched it, but I hear good things about the Fallout TV Show. Apparently, they cared about the source material and folks liked that! WHAT-A BUNCH A WEIRDOS, M I RITE?! I mean, the nerve. Making a thing people liked, as a thing people liked... clearly a fluke. Would never work anywhere else.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Never played more than a little bit of Fallout. That said, it seems like one way they dodged criticism is simply having their own story set in the world. From what I understand, the characters were created for the show. They did seem to nail the vibe. That goes a long way.

*smirk*

To be fair, I liked season 2 a lot, despite it aggressively changing a lot of stuff from the source material.

True, but then they went and gave them all the same names as existing game characters. :P

I have a feeling this is less to do anything with the show itself and is more related to the fact that Paramount is in the process of being bought by Skydance so they're gonna clear out contracts and projects before it closes

This is the real reason.

If your name is not Netflix, your streaming service is a giant black hole for money. Once it goes it, you aren’t making it back. Everyone is cost cutting everywhere, and Halo was quite expensive.

Next time- if there is a next time- keep the dang helmet on.
