also the critical political aspects of halo, especially concerning the UNSC, UEG (united earth government) and ONI's war crimes against the outer colonies and more, could've be so amazing (like they did in hunt the truth before halo 5's horrid arrival)... but 343 lost their 'nads post-halo 5 bc every gamer bro was complaining about halo 4. i would LOVE for halo to be especially critical of the UNSC bc they are an imperialist regime (much like the US military) and are only seen through a good lens bc of the fight against the covenant - but it's like we're getting an extremely sanitized halo series where they've forgotten about their own critical themes against the UNSC in favor of writing a story where everything is alright in the end and there are absolutely no consequences to what the UNSC has done... apart from the insurrectionists.
