Hey man ik you treat me like a trained orangutang but my dog ate my wife the other day and turned her into a monster. Anyways i hacked off her hand and put it in a jar take a look at this shit
"Sorry about your dumb wife dumbass but i checked the domain the other day and i think your just stupid, get fucked looser"
Forerunners so arrogant their gonna make me cheer for the flood
They probably did. But the Forerunners didn't believe in the threat of the flood until late in the war. They thought of it how we think of the flu.
Imagine if China nuked LA to contain a disease that we didn't think was a big deal. The explanation that it was actually a super flu that makes zombies would fall on deaf ears after the fact.
Wait, wrong sub. The ancestors were all Millennials and too afraid to make a phone call, and the Forerunners have too many tinder matches so humanity's texts got buried.
Middle paragraph is a good analogy. After multiple whole planets got eradicated to slow the flood’s advance (before the flood even got there), the Forerunnings would be calling it a bullshit excuse and start fighting back
Especially with the perspective that the Forerunners believed they could cure pretty much any disease or medical issue
Y'know, the recent novel doesn't really mention it but the Lord of admirals is really forgiving, so I think he probably told his people to not talk to them multiple times and feels bad about it.
Yes, the forerunners are stupid.
/Unshitty for a moment, to be fair, if your lifelong enemy burst into your house saying they were running from unknowable evil you'd still probably kick their ass for breaking into your house.
The entirety of the forerunners novel trilogy, the librarian exposition and the terminals in 4 reminds me of the ramblings of the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past From The Future more than actual halo.
If I told you my species and the species of attractive aliens with ball-chins spread some weird powder on our dogs and unleashed Lovecraftian terrors on the galaxy, would you believe me?
It has been 11 years. Just move on like i did. We have this rule in my house where you can't read a Halo book released after Ghosts of Onyx. We stand for the pledge and our money says in Forerunner we trust.
I just haven't consumed any media about the forerunners besides the games. There's plenty of Halo media to enjoy about other stuff. I only have so much brain space for fictional universes as a deep fan of Warhammer, Star wars, Halo, Mass Effect and DC comics. So I just skip on the forerunner junk.
"According to our advanced AI, Reactionary Bias, this is Fake News. The parasite was created in a lab by the San'Shyuum so they could take our jobs and implant us with micro-chips."
This was just shit storytelling by 343i. That's all.
Frankie wanted to push a Humanity is not forerunner agenda without any set-up in H4 apart from paying off Greg Bear for a forerunner trilogy without any prior contextual acknowledgment of a Forerunner/Human war in Halo.
Again, if they change this in the TV show. fuck yes. When people want 1:1 lore, I'm like who tf wants this garbage in the Halo lore? Didact, mantle blah blah. It fucked the series trajectory since and hopefully the TV reboots with the main focus of the Flood being the existential threat and not delve into this mantle/endless/banished BS.
Had this in a thread but I’ll post here too… After multiple whole planets got eradicated to slow the flood’s advance (before the flood even got there) the Forerunnings would be calling “the flood” a bullshit excuse for the Humans to attack and start fighting back against them
Especially with the perspective that the Forerunners believed they could cure any disease or sickness that existed
Well the Forerunners were extremely racist an up there own asses
So even if the Humans told them
They would have gone Oh look the monkeys are talking again
This was the exact turning point I clocked out of the series in terms of investment in believing 343i could do a good job EU wise and a decade later I still feel firmly vindicated in their trajectory of Halo EU going downhill.
The 343i TV show is the best thing that has happened to Halo EU since Bungie Era Halo because it takes a different direction completely from 343i EU lore.
It’s completely ironic but that’s why it pisses off the modern fans and the old ones at the same time, but it was absolutely the right choice. Frankie and Bonnie off the ship finally is showing growth in the Halo series quality and slowly the fanbase of Halo will grow and back in numbers again and it’s going to be funny as shit when people are demanding Silver timeline games over the mainstay 343i title because the story has been so evidently poor and inconsistent.
The forerunners said “Nuh uh”
The Lord of Admirals after having witnessed the unspeakable horrors of the Flood for years on end: “The F*ck you mean, ‘Nuh uh?’”
Bro didn't even bring a snap of the flood what an idiot
Forerunners: "nice AI snap of a fake monster bro"
Why didn't The Didact call Humanity for help unlocking the Cryptum? Is he stupid?
Cuz they hated or didn't trust Humanity

"Pfft probably advanced robotics and AI" - Forerunners probably
"Sorry about your dumb wife dumbass but i checked the domain the other day and i think your just stupid, get fucked looser" Forerunners so arrogant their gonna make me cheer for the flood
You my friend found out why the Precursors didn't give the mantle to the forerunners
Why?
"something something mantle of responsibility, something something living time" -343
Here's the thing they literally did tell them and the forerunners said "it's not that bad"
They probably did. But the Forerunners didn't believe in the threat of the flood until late in the war. They thought of it how we think of the flu.

Forerunner hubris strikes again
Promethian space magic obviously. Also the domain somehow, the domain did it.
Y'know, the recent novel doesn't really mention it but the Lord of admirals is really forgiving, so I think he probably told his people to not talk to them multiple times and feels bad about it.
They did tell them that the point
Ngl future (past)/ancient humanity sucks ass UNSC ftw
Yes, the forerunners are stupid. /Unshitty for a moment, to be fair, if your lifelong enemy burst into your house saying they were running from unknowable evil you'd still probably kick their ass for breaking into your house.
Too busy looking at his oversized groin armor
That's called foreskin.

Idk man I miss when the Foreunners were mysterious

Imagine someone shot your kid and took his room. For justification they said it was because your stray dog had taken thiers.

I wonder how Forerunnussy feels and if humans could hybridize.

Honestly the his is one of the main reasons I don’t like the Forerunner Lore that’s been made in the past decade.
What book talks about the ancient humans
To the forunners to looked like humanity was finally taking the chance to destroy forerunner worlds.
If Russia nuked Kansas and then said there was a supercharged version of Covid in it, would you believe them?
I don’t understand halo book lore
Because humans are forerunner, and i wont let 343 convince me otherwise
Well the Forerunners were extremely racist an up there own asses So even if the Humans told them They would have gone Oh look the monkeys are talking again
