Is Zelda going to say anything? Unless I’m mistaken, if he does you’ll get nerd fans just as upset as Dredd or Master Chief taking off their helmets.

They won't as long as he doesn't take off his helmet.

He'll speak.

WELL EXCUUUUUUUSE ME! PRINCESS!

But... You just... You know that... You know that Zelda is the princess and Link is the guy right? Or was this on purpose since you mentioned upset nerds?

As a huge Halo fan, I wasn’t even upset that Master Chief took his helmet off. No one ever said he’s supposed to be treated like Mohammed or something. I think people were more upset about the fact he spent the majority of the show not wearing any armor at all, because the writers thought a Halo soap opera was a good idea

Or that he… ‘slept with’ (raped*) a prisoner?

Edit: redundant grammar

I didn't even watch season 2. Season 1 was so colossally bad.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Season 2 was a bit better and the last couple episodes were unironically great, which is why it was kinda surprising they cancelled it. It was just starting to get good

Probably couldn't recover viewership after the first season.

Yeah, I feel like season 2 was actually starting to really work by the end and I was actually disappointed it was canceled. I wanted to see where they'd go with season 3.

Shows don't get the same time to find their footing that shows in the '90s did, and I think it's a bit of a shame.
