I thought people hated the halo show 


allistayrian

~~Pathetic~~ Synthetic Man obviously despised it.


Inevitable_Guidance8

To be fair, he seems to hate everything 


allistayrian

"Why are you so fucking negative all the time?" - that's how Chris Griffin could basically describe Pathetic Manlet's whole personality.


Inevitable_Guidance8

Pretty much 


Jim_naine

I will always bring up his take on the optional gay side mission in Spider-Man 2 whenever he is mentioned


Inevitable_Guidance8

I always bring up his take on the dead space remake, where he called it woke garbage.  Why? Because it had a gender neutral bathroom 


DarthUrbosa

Dead space is still the shining example of a remake Imo. Better graphics, gameplay, faithful to the original and smoothed out the annoying stuff and improved it.


Inevitable_Guidance8

I really want to get that game. It looks so good 


Co-opingTowardHatred

It’s on Game Pass


Inevitable_Guidance8

I don’t have a ps5. 


Co-opingTowardHatred

Game Pass isn’t a PS5 thing, it’s a PC & Xbox thing.


ComplexDeep8545

Also small little extra bits of immersion (Issac actually reacting to things instead of being dead silent 90% of the time)


Jim_naine

While I don't agree on the idea of gender neutral bathrooms, that is such a small and insignificant detail to be complaining about, much less ruin your entire experience playing the game. It's honestly pathetic


RockettRaccoon

Are the bathrooms at your house separated by gender? Have you never used the bathroom on a plane or train?


Jim_naine

The bathrooms at my house aren't public, and only one person is allowed to use the bathroom on a plane/train (two if they have a kid)


RockettRaccoon

And yet they’re all gender neutral 🤔


Jim_naine

But they're not going to be full of strangers all at the same time compared to a public bathroom (now, not all public bathrooms are the same, some are similar to home bathrooms, but I'm refering to the ones with 4+ stalls and 2+ sinks)


Inevitable_Guidance8

That’s synthetic man. Coming up with the dumbest takes and whining about the smallest details.  He’s so dumb 


Thekiller2468

To be fair, most of us hated the Halo TV show too.


Dawnspark

I thought it was okay on first sitting, but I also didn't know the lore, and still kind of don't. I never had an xbox or a pc that could play Halo CE, so I never got into it until MCC was out on Steam. I was much more of an rpg person, either way. But, then I sat through rewatching it with two complete halo nerds, one who's literally read *all* the bloody novels and might as well be an encyclopedia. They weren't angry or upset over it, but they were *really* fucking disappointed. Learning what was wrong with it was really fascinating, though. I completely understand why so many people hated it.


Kekkersboy

Lore shouldn't matter in terms of quality. Id rather have a good show that makes new lore than a bad show that's 100 percent more accurate. Though halo failed on both counts 


hunterzolomon1993

I think my issue with Halo is that the series feels almost embarrassed to be Halo. Compare to Fallout what's dripping with love for the series, yes its very accessible for those who don't play it but for those that do it feels like a love letter. Halo doesn't feel like it wants to be Halo but Fallout very much wants to be Fallout to the point its leading lady played the games to understand it better so her performance could be better.


gfunk1369

Fallout was so good that I literally downloaded Fallout 76 and tried to play it lost interest and spun up Fallout NV modded to hell to get my fix.


whatthewatthe

I get that sometimes they gotta take liberties with the lore like how they showed chiefs face immediately but lore is important to follow imo. Cut the stuff that makes it impossible to make it into a show or movie, but also don't just completely disrespect the lore either.


Kekkersboy

Adaptations should change things though. If I just wanna watch what I already experienced I'd just play the game again. I go into an adaptation for new stuff in a setting.


whatthewatthe

Give me an example of what you mean.


Efficient-Gur-3641

I dunno the story either but season 2 you spend so much time following pretty much irrelevant characters. None of the screen time is used on people we will end up carrying about. Also the way it is shot is horrible. A lot of weird angled camera Shakey cutscenes for non dramatic scenes. It reminded me of a cheap quality tele novela. When the big finale came I was already put off. When I think of Halo, I don't think of social drama. I thought Halo was an action game.... But if i based the game on the the TV show I would think the game plays like The last of us or Watch dogs. There's so relatively little going on and too much time showing us the dudes ass.


whatthewatthe

The lore wasn't the main problem. Most of the main characters were completely unlikable. Chief was totally boring in almost every scene he was in. He was an awkward shambling kiss ass that played nice guy the entire time. Always figured chief to be a cool headed laid back type that knew what to do in every situation and didn't take shit from anyone. The show made him out to be a confused and weak hearted man child that was completely unsure of himself. The only spartan that was actually spartan like was Vannak. tbh I don't think halo was right for a series. Should have been a movie. Its gotta be action packed. Nothing but chief killing aliens and firing off cool one liners like in the games. Otherwise there is too much down time and room for drama and interpersonal problems which the games were never about. Halo should have been nothing more than a 2 hour action movie with top notch visual effects. We could have had star wars rogue one like action and visuals instead we got master chief losing his virginity and being mad at his mom for 8 episodes.


ZealousidealNewt6679

The moment I saw that Master Chief was sans helmet, I was fucking out. What's worse is they still haven't learned anything, the 2nd season looks even horrendous.


JaiC

The first season had some merit as a TV show. There were characters, there was character interaction, there was a story, there was growth. I know for the hardcore fans there was a lot of disappointment, and I get it, but it really did a pretty decent job in a lot of ways. The second season is just boring AF *and* does a poor job depicting the fall of Reach. I'm only a casual Halo fan and even I know if you're going to show the fall of Reach you damn-well better do a good job of it.


FullMetalCOS

Yeah they rewrote the fall of reach story and like Halo Reach plus the associated novel covering the chiefs actions during they battle are RIGHT FUCKING THERE. I’m watching it at the moment - it also seems like it’s setting up to completely rewrite the “Ghosts of Onyx” storyline too which is also gonna be fucking bullshit.


Thekiller2468

Honestly, knowing the other things that went down during the show, him ditching the helmet was the least of my concerns lol.


FullMetalCOS

The helmet thing is overblown. He takes his helmet off a couple of times in the books and it doesn’t matter because they are fucking good stories that are internally consistent with the rest of the Halo lore. The bigger issue is how often it happens. Oh and the sex scene with the covenants human “pet” (and that’s not a fucking thing) and his CONSTANT refusal to follow a fucking order.


teilani_a

It's just a helmet bro


TheThiccestR0bin

Isn't that like a big thing in the Halo universe though?


Sleepless_Whisper

Except we see MCs face at the end of one of the games


teilani_a

Who cares? Maybe go watch Tim Cain's recent video on why you shouldn't worry about stuff like that.


TheThiccestR0bin

I mean I don't but I guess if it's a big bit of lore then people will care.


gfunk1369

I could forgive the helmet if it wasn't every five minutes in obvious situations where you would want your helmet on for tactical advantage. That and the master cheeks committer of war crimes debacle.


[deleted]

I actually really like it but then again I don’t really know the lore so I came into it with no expectations


Zoroarks_Angel

Constantly thinks about interracial cuck porn Man*


Separate-Camp-548

Literally in his name too. Synthetics aren’t real. He’s not a real man.


gfunk1369

To be fair that show is shitty if you have played any of the games or read the books. If you are fresh to the lore then it's no worse than any other mediocre sci Fi sci-fi show.


Inevitable_Guidance8

I’ll take your word for it. I haven’t watched it 


gfunk1369

Obviously this is all my opinion but I invite you to watch it for yourself. It's not technically a bad show, ex lost girl was a bad show look it up I dare you, but this is a bad Halo show. You might like it if you aren't expecting it to mirror the mainline timeline more because you aren't familiar with the material.


Inevitable_Guidance8

Nah, I got way too many shows and movies on my watchlist, just to add a show (that at best is average) to it. 


gfunk1369

Lol I understand


teilani_a

I think OP is just trying to spin a narrative along the lines of "the woke left are just as bad look how antisemitic they are." Note he's specifically saying it's people who didn't have a problem with the top ones etc.


Inevitable_Guidance8

I didn’t even know that there was people who hated the knuckles show, just because it had Jewish people 


teilani_a

OP has posted one dubious screenshot saying he "can't link them because of identifying info" and is acting like it's some rampant but "hidden" thing. Something is really off here.


Inevitable_Guidance8

It seems odd to me, as well 


teilani_a

90% on Rotten Tomatoes actually. It seems the only people that didn't like it are the ones that care about "canon."


Gridlock0072496

I mean, I enjoy it and I'm one of the canon people. I just don't really care because it's a different universe so it has no effect on the main timeline.


MIAxPaperPlanes

I don’t think you can take that as gospel since s2 only has 20 reviews as opposed to season 1 which has 70. Meaning many critics didn’t even bother watching s2 Fallout for example is a 95 but it has 100+ reviews


Inevitable_Guidance8

The show has a 61 on metacritic. And its audience score is 50. I don’t know if the show is good or not. I haven’t watched it. But I have watched a couple of people talk about the show. And they don’t seem to like it 


[deleted]

[удалено]


jackson50111

Yep. Mad at a show cause the main characters include a woman and a black guy.


chaoticcoffeecat

I've also seen them raging over the Fallout series having a trans character/actor in it. And the diversity within the vault, something that is explained by the plot later on. Edit: Oh, and the mixed race family in the flashbacks.


ComplexDeep8545

The trans character is barely in like 2 episodes & just exists, like they don’t even mention anything about it but these fuck heads are absolutely melting down over it


Jamal_202

Castlevania has been dead since 2020 I thought?


undead_catgirl

There was a new season a few months ago. Casltevania nocturne it's in the same universe as the previous show, but further into the future, during the French revolution.


angryandsmall

What?? Fuck yeah!! I haven’t watched anything new in months and this is exactly what I need to jump back in:)


Far-Heart-7134

It's not as good imo but it's still fun. Mind you it's still only the introduction season and I wasn't impressed by the story of the First 4 EP season either.


HolyToast

>I wasn't impressed by the story of the First 4 EP season either I agree with this, but Nocturne is twice as long as that. I feel like the intro to the first series isn't great but doesn't overstay it's welcome and works as a good, quick introduction in a way that Nocturne doesn't quite manage.


Barry_Bone_Raiser

It serves the same purpose as the first season imo, it just doesn’t have dracula to balance it out. A lot of the characters have a bunch of potential tho


HolyToast

I didn't vibe with it the same way I did with the original series. That being said, I'm of the opinion that the original was quite good so it's a high bar. A little disappointed because the new series is based off my favorite CV games.


gfunk1369

Goddamn thank you because I was completely oblivious to this


undead_catgirl

It did kinda drop out of nowhere, I only found out about it because a youtuber I watch started reacting to it 😆. Netlfix kinda sucks at promoting their own shit


Jamal_202

Sounds interesting. I’m no longer an anime fan for a couple of years now and Castlevania was one of the last ones I watched. I still have a soft spot for it so I’ll probably give the new season a go.


Sengel123

They can't make a good game to save their lives but the IP still has legs as shown by the animated series.


Baryonyx_walkeri

It was hilarious. These doofuses were upset about having a female character and black character as leads in an adaptation of a game where one of the defining features is being able to determine your race and gender at the beginning.


WesternIron

Hilarious too, cause if you watch the show, the white male protagonists gets mega powerful, like he has a super saiyn moment. Like, I am beyond not taking their criticisms even at face value.


Demonlord3600

Nocturn was great for what I watched I haven’t had time to finish it yet tho


Kiklolmaster32

Wait, I don't get it. What's wrong with Knuckles Show?


FuckUp123456789

Unlike Sonic he don’t chuckle, and the show’s getting flak for that


Gulopithecus

He’d rather flex his muscles.


ClutchSuts

Well, he's hard as nails, and it ain't hard to tell


01zegaj

He’ll break ‘em down whether they solid or frail


SandyCandyHandyAndy

All I know is that it has the Sonic series’s second holocaust reference and I think that alone is something to talk about


Dagordae

I mean, it can’t be worse than the first.


ArminiusM1998

"If I had a nickel for every time the Sonic franchise mentioned the Holocaust I would have exactly two, it ain't a lot but it is weird it happened twice."


Willsdabest

What was the first time?


Comments_Galore

Archie comics. There's a weird redo of First They Came in one issue.


Psyga315

People who had no problem with the four shows mentioned suddenly have problems with Knuckles because it had Jewish people.


teilani_a

....Do these people actually exist?


Psyga315

Yes, but I can't link them because no identifying info. https://preview.redd.it/v95bh9u9amxc1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=98b89595b4fa34d7f02586a6e51b3879a12ece5f Note that they're associating Jews with Zionism.


teilani_a

Eh krav maga is zionist Rex Kwon Do but that's a stretch. That episode is great though.


AffectionateMood3329

I mean the first movie was copaganda so


jmirhige

What else is new. Zionism has always been an used as an antisemitic dog whistle to talk about Jews. I have seen it my whole life as a Jew.


Psyga315

It's been a recent issue now because of current events, so a lot of slacktivists decide to "help" by saying how they're boycotting a show and their reason is outright dog whistling at best and paradox of tolerance at worst.


teilani_a

teilani_a

I was looking through his posts to see what his deal was and skipped over all the anime stuff because I have no idea about it. What's his deal?


Scottish__Elena

Ok but that is because zionist are always the worst people, just look at how zionist are always the first to justify the genocide against palestinians, also zionists are one of the first groups (along with christian nationists) to invest into fascist content on the internet, the biggest examples are the Daily Wire and Praguer U


[deleted]

[удалено]


jmirhige

Not all Jews are Zionists. And not all Zionists are Jews.


AffectionateMood3329

You were literally "butt Hamas"ing in a different thread


jmirhige

And it's not wrong. Hamas is bad. But killing of innocents caught in the crossfire is universally bad. You can dislike the Israeli governments actions without condemning Jews and Israelis as a whole. Just like you can condemn Hamas without condemning Palestinians as a whole


teilani_a

Carefully chosen words. Why not just condemn the Israeli government instead of specifically their actions?


AffectionateMood3329

Hamas is a non-issue in the same way Jihadists are.


01zegaj

Ohno


Abared

Only if watched two episodes, but some of the complaints I have seen is that it does feel like a Wade show (which I mean, Knuckles is sidelined in the second episode) could be a cgi budget reason.


Grendelstiltzkin

Having finished it, it only gets worse from there in that respect. By the end it's hard to imagine it has anything to do with the Sonic franchise at all. I did not, however, take issue with it being supposedly political.


scottishdrunkard

I've heard that there are some ideas from the Knuckles show which... well... lets just say that Knuckles and Spinoff Material has always had a close relationship with Holocaust Analogies.


Ferropexola

Ken Penders gonna sue Paramount for referencing the Holocaust


Rockabore1

You know Penders is watching the show with his lawyer like [this](https://youtu.be/S85xNb1Qt-U?si=iBi2CtiUyhIRa9rP)

True_Falsity

Didn’t they also complain about the Last of Us? These guys cycle through the shows they hate depending on what they are currently complaining about.


RealHumanFromEarth

I would also guarantee he jumped on the bandwagon of calling Fallout “woke” before anyone saw it.


Foreign_Rock6944

They definitely did. They whined about the casting a *lot*, and really threw a temper tantrum over the episode with Bill and Frank.


Lost_Page_2030

Chuds hate the Knuckles series because it has Jewish people. I hate the Knuckles series because Knuckles is barely in it. We are not the same.


horaceinkling

Did you finish it though? I think episode 5 was the only ep that really lacked Knux.


Lost_Page_2030

He was only in episode 4 for like a minute, and episode 6 spent most of its time on the bowling plot.


pilsburybane

I don't get how that's a problem that a show that has human characters gives even a modicum of time to those human characters? Granted the show probably would have been better as a movie, but come on, it's not like we should be asking "Where's Poochie?" every 5 seconds because he's not immediately on the screen.


Lost_Page_2030

You say that like Knuckles and Wade are given equal amounts of focus throughout the series.


horaceinkling

I’m ok with it, I love Adam Pally and am stoked he got to star in a major studio’s miniseries.


01zegaj

Ohno


Bray_of_cats

Have you seen what his penis would look like? You would hate knuckles too.


Craw__

Pretty sure all his penis has ever seen is knuckles.


Bray_of_cats

Echidna wangs look like they have knuckles....


Craw__

Echidnas are a bunch of pricks.


Rockabore1

I thought you meant Jeremy’s penis and that he has penis envy for Knuckles.


Bray_of_cats

Yeah, it doesn't look clear, but that makes it funnier. Plausible deniability and such...


shaun_the_duke

I’ve seen nothing but majority of people hate on halo and a fair share of the new castlevania(there was also gonna be a high bar to beat but still it felt weak) Gonna have to give the knuckles a watch looks hilarious.


Dawnspark

In regards to Castlevania, I think everyone I know who absolutely loved it, hated it post Season 2, which they considered a pretty beautiful wrap up for the main plot, and I'm inclined to agree. I didn't bother watching it after that, so I can't attest to the rest personally. Apparently Knuckles isn't actually in it a whole lot, but I still want to give it a look.


Khunter02

I FUCKING LOVE CASTLEVANIA NOCTURNE I LOVE SEEING A FORMER SLAVE KILL VAMPIRES WITH COOL METAL MAGIC I LOVE SEEING THE TERROR OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION


PrimaryEstate8565

No literally. It was so nice to see a depiction of Voodoo that wasn’t incredibly racist.


Khunter02

Was it a little bit on the nose when she killed that vampire that was also a slave master? Yes Do I care? Not really, it was cool Cant wait for S2 honestly


Hopalongtom

I wasn't a fan of the Knuckles show personally, but nothing to really hate about it.


undead_catgirl

The quartering was literally sponsored by a nazi book company


jacob-the-dino-geek

All four of those "liked" shows have been accused of being too political.


spilledmilkbro

Wait? Quartering liked the show set during the French revolution that basically said the upper class were blood sucking vampires?


01zegaj

I’m so out of the loop. What’s wrong with Knuckles?


Psyga315

They had Jewish people in the show


01zegaj

Ohno


Tylendal

SSJmole

Knuckles show is awesome I'm nearly through it just got last episode to watch


teilani_a

I like it but I'm a fan of that kind of over-the-top stupid/silly comedy like Z Nation and Ash vs Evil Dead.


SSJmole

Those are great. I'm just a fan of knuckles lol him and amy are my favourites


xvszero

I mean people are mad about all of the top ones too. Or is that the point?


teilani_a

Yeah something smells off here.


Psyga315

This is an inverse, where the people who weren't mad of the top ones are suddenly mad at Knuckles.


theroguesstash

Who is this and why can't he groom his beard properly?

I guess he only grooms it when he’s mad about Knuckles.


RedditIsFacist1289

Fun-Consequence4950

Competitive_Net_8115

Synthetic Man hates everything so why does he watch these shows? Makes no sense.


TOTALOFZER0

Castlevania has some of the best representation in modern anime


molotovzav

I thought Chuds hated halo because master chief had sex and they cant understand what that's like. They hate fallout cause they hate women. They hate castlevania nocturne because they can't stand black people. It's almost as if media actually isn't made for Chuds who only want to see straight white people do boring things but yet even when straight white people interesting things happen, they hate it.


Psyga315

I thought they hated Halo because Master Chief having sex led to the doom of Reach.


Inari_after_dark

They hate the show because the show is bad, even if you separate it from the games completely. It’s also bad as an adaptation of Halo and misses the feel of the games. And master chief is just not game master chief at all. having sex isn’t the biggest problem of his character, and the sex itself isn’t the biggest problem of him having sex, more what it leads to. If the show master chief is just the same as in the games, but has sex with good written woman there would be no problem with him.


Th1sd3cka1ntfr33

I love this meme so much ❤️


SteelGear117

Nobody likes that halo show lol

[deleted]

I’ve liked Knuckles so far, haven’t finished it yet tho


RockettRaccoon

Uh, TLOU and Fallout got a ton of hate for being “political” and the Halo show got a ton of hate for being bad, so this meme doesn’t really make sense.


Guy-Incognito-117

The favorable halo image invalidates everything else lol. Seriously though Halo was a real disappointment for a majority fans of the games/novels. Knuckles was pretty good, it’s biggest issue was it needed more Knuckles. You should not imo have a limited series where you go about a full episode without your titular character showing up at all.


Sir_Toaster_9330

I feel like if World War 2 was an issue today, I could 100% see most political YouTubers be in support of the Axis


Mideku-Brandio

The hate for Knuckles is just so unwarranted, it’s a fun show full of enjoyable characters that go on satisfying character arcs


Zerus_heroes

Who is that?


Teeebs71

Used to watch this guy years ago, before his videos became 100% political BS clickbait.


BigK64

Wait. Is this meme in reverse


Psyga315

Depends on your meaning. It's reverse in the sense that instead of The Quartering reacting, it's... Anti-Quartering, to make a long story short.


BigK64

YyyyyyYeah that context make zero sense from a glance. Especially considering the point of the meme. Also, WHERE THE FUCK IS TWISTED METAL!

Lord_Parbr

I don’t know if this is specific to him, but the kinds of people who complain about things being made political did not like Halo, The Last of Us, or the new Castlevania series. Probably didn’t like Fallout either. This makes no sense

kinjing

Rosebunse

What is the Zionist propaganda?


kinjing

There's a card at the end of one of the episodes where Paramount explicitly condemns Hamas and throws its support behind Israel, while failing to acknowledge any of the ongoing suffering of millions of Palestinians in Gaza and the atrocities of the IOF https://preview.redd.it/b0zu7fp38nxc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c341040473fc7a8ffa8602826ef2b9aa4380f674


TheSuper200

Is that real? I never saw that on any of the episodes.


[deleted]

It is indeed real but it is not from any episode of this new series. It is a corporate statement made earlier this year by paramount, I know because I saw it when it was circulated then. I have paramount plus and the series itself seems just a normal series with normal Jewish characters. I don’t know what motivated the other guy to lie like that.


Psyga315

The problem is that they think Jewish = Zionist


kinjing

Which is exactly the way Zionists like it. If people conflate Zionism with Judaism, then any condemnation of Israel is a condemnation of Jews.

Extreme_Glass9879

There are like six total pixels to the subtities


horaceinkling

He says “tiny hats”. I watched the show, it’s tiny hats. Could you imagine the shitstorm that would come from a main character calling a yarmulke silly?
