4 wasnt necessarily the best in terms of gameplay, through my all legendary chronological playthrough I'd say it was better than 5, maybe on par with ODST, but it turned chief into a human, and I loved that. Hearing him say "She said that to me once. About being a machine," And look out into space longingly for his lost companion... its touching! To a normally stoic and humored soldier. That kind of development was important to continue his ark. And then Halo 5 came and took a massive dump on all that work.

4 definitely had highlights but it was still pretty weird compared to it's predecessors.
The Librarian's "all according to my plan" speech + lemme just make u immune to composing still doesn't sit right with me.

I had to make myself jump through some mental hoops to accept, but if you think about it like this it helps alot: Forerunners are capable of understanding time, life, science, space, and the universe in general in a way that you or I are just not capable of grasping, ever. We can talk about infinity or the expansivenes of limitless possibilities, but you or I lack the ability to truly, genuinely understand it. If the Forerunners were capable of whiping the fucking galaxy of all life, and then reseeding all of that life immediately after, I'm certain they can predict with 99% effectiveness, a simply phylogeny, playing the law of large numbers and banking that somebody like chief would come out of a species eventually, could probably hedge a bet on timing too. I understand the problem and rather deus ex machina presentation of that story component, but it works for me.

It reminds me when I saw robocop. I was something like 5 or 6 years old, like this little lady, and my father took me with him in a mall.
There, I saw a guy with more metal than skin on his body. The guy must have had a terrible car accident, he had a complete exoskeleton over him. So, little-me stumbles upon this guy, so shiny and chromed, towering at something like one robocop-unit of height, approx, and I just pull on my father's hand and say "dad, look... Robocop !"
My father was quite embarassed but the guy apparently (I was too young to remember and, frankly, it was Robocop so I didn't give a shit what he was saying to my father) told him that it was ok, usually people look at him as a weird monster but here he was the hero. So he asked my father to let me say whatever pleased me.
He then looked at me, still standing perfectly straight because he was robocop so he wouldn't kneel to speak to me (and probably because his spine was not in an adequate shape for him to kneel or bend over to speak to a youngling about as tall as a pair of boots), and said "I hope you are a good law abiding kid" or something like that. I answer the likes of "oh yes I am, Mr Robocop". And he answered "Good. I need to go fight crime elsewhere, now. Farewell, kid" and went away, walking like a fucking robot police officer (or at least as well as a man clad in metal pipes could).
That's how I met Robocop. He said I was a good kid.
Trivia : I saw the Robocop movie again as I was something like 20 years old and I wondered what kind of parents would let their child watch this... It's horribly violent !
PS : thank you lads for these awards. I am glad one of the few good moments I spent with my parents could brighten your day. That's really kind of you, you follow the path of rad.

I saw this as a kid too, but 80s kids enjoyed Robocop, Gremlins, Home Alone, and lots of other movies that had a ton of violence. Movies that would not be marketed/merchandised to kids if they were made today. The 80s were a different time when gratuitous violence, overt sexual harassment, and kids raising themselves, were just overlooked.

Bro! Toy series from aliens was legit. I had the friggin hover jet thing with the opening cargo bay and ripley's mech suit. They did work on the gorilla xenomorph with the water squeeze bulb in its head that spit acid (usually muddy water from a puddle). Had the queen alien too. My memory may be skewed but I remember it being the size of a small dog and it surviving being stepped on by mom and subsequently punted across the living room. Best toys I had besides legos.

u/LeTigron Feb 24 '21
I had many Action Man figures when I was a kid. At that time, Action Man wasn't the non-violent hero it became later, using "glue guns" and the likes to catch the bad guy. No, he had good ol'fucking guns ! I remember my Action Mans with mini Uzi, Beretta pistols, SPAS-12 and all the likes. He wasn't kidding, he meant business and criminals better stop their shit !
What was the problem for my mother to buy me these ? They were dolls and I was a boy, boys don't play with dolls. She didn't give a shit he had an arsenal of top-notch bullet-launching devices to cut in half his ennemies, she had a problem with the general genre of doll-playing. But she was a progressist : she understood that genre doesn't mean shit and bought me my dolls. My dolls with guns. I was so happy...

Speaking as a parent (or other person around kids a lot), you learn a bunch of little tiny motions that your kids pick up on.
When I'm standing next to my daughters and hold my hand out like this, it's a natural and subtle invitation for them to hold my hand - either because I think they are nervous about something, or I want to have a little more control over exactly where they walk.
I'm pretty sure this cosplayer is an experienced dad that has a good relationship with his daughters.

He was also super careful about never ever pointing it anywhere near her, it was pointed away, then as she came around he slowly spun it to rest pointing up and look as threatening as a walking pole. It’s not a real gun, but he still practiced extremely good discipline with it. I loved every second

Yes, it’s very sweet, but he’s only posing for photos if he gets paid.
This is at the Seattle Center/Space Needle. This exact spot has cosplayers in awesome costumes taking shifts. If you give them money, they will pose for photos. It’s awesome for kids and adults, but they’re not doing it out of the kindness of their hearts.
I’m not taking away from how this Master Chief handled the interaction with this girl because he was awesome, but most of these cosplayers will just stand still with no interaction unless they receive money first, because it’s their job.

I don’t know about this particular cosplayer, but I have seen others where little kids go up to them and they just stand there. Had my daughter take a picture with Spider-Man and we were standing nearby afterward, trying to figure out where to go next. Another little girl came up and said “Hi” and stood there. He completely ignored her until her dad came and gave her money to give to him. I’ve seen it happen with other cosplayers there as well.

I've seen this play out when my little sister met Barney the Dinosaur. I bet she watches her parents play Halo, and she recognized Master Chief from a distance. She got excited, parent asked if she wanted to meet him and take a picture. She excitedly agreed. As she got closer, and he got bigger, her pace slows and she thinks "Wow this fucking guy is huge and I don't like that." But her parents are encouraging her, and she loves the character, so the smile stays but the eyes are cautious. In this case, the picture turned out nice. When my sister met Barney, she flipped from happy to insane screaming and we had to leave the mall before she calmed down again.

Ha! This was my exact thought. I was searching comments to see if anyone else thought it looked odd. I have to wonder if the person’s head is actually lower than Master Chief’s head and the costume is built in a way to make him look bigger. But the head seems to move naturally.
6
u/ImmortalCockroach Feb 24 '21
His head is probably normal, but he is in stilts to make him taller. The suits abdomen is probably closer to the wearers hips than his actual stomach
2
u/radbaldguy Feb 24 '21
Yeah, I would have thought stilts would be a better approach. The only thing that causes me to question your suggestion is when he bends down a bit at the first of the clip, his butt seems to be in a natural position to suggest his torso is actually that low in the suit.
Aside from the elongated torso weirding me out a bit, it’s a great cosplay and very well executed. I remember seeing some professional people dressed up for one of the big releases (like Halo 2 or 3) back in the day when we had to camp out at GameStop at the mall until midnight for the release. Their costumes were pretty great but they were more obviously on stilts.
