Why do so many shows these days violate cannon?
Star Trek and now the HALO TV series are violating cannon wantonly. The old Judge Dredd did it but that was made up quite well by the recent remake. If a character's face is never revealed (HALO & Judge Dredd) then don't show it now. Not showing a character's face allows it to remain more of a symbol. When covered anyone can be Master Chief (guys anyway). As this is a HALO review I'll avoid the minor Trek rant I'd easily go off on.
The writing and actor performance is wanting. I've watched the previous movies both CGI and with real life actors. Practically all of them surpass this poor attempt to live off of previous successful movies. I never could get into the book series myself.
Maybe the point of this show is to anger the following the series has so when they pump out a movie they actually try to do well it pull in even more cash. IDK
