Yeah.
I'm not usually a stickler for canon, but it hurt extra with Halo, because Halo just has so little (compared to much older franchises like Doctor Who, Star Trek or Star Wars) canon to begin with.
It's not like they needed to prune things or get a fresh start. There's so much un-told story in the Halo Universe. It felt so pointless to needlessly mess with ~~what little~~ established canon we have.
I said it on the old Halo subreddit and got disagreed with almost unanimously, but this is exactly how I feel. Except about how little lore, because there's actually a lot when you take into account the books, comics, and short stories.
But the whole "fractures" thing they introduced with Infinite and the alternate armors coming from alternate timelines was just unnecessary. We don't need different timelines or a "Halo multiverse."
Agreed. I think having alternate timelines or worse, dimension hopping, detracts from Halo's roots in real war, where actions have devastating consequences.
Yeah. I don't mean to belittle how much lore Halo does have! I've enjoyed a great deal of it.
I just mean to say that, as a younger franchise, Halo isn't at a Star Wars or Marvel Comics level of ludicrously weighed down by lore. So I feel like the first show could have done a lot more to navigate within established lore.
