Look, if Spartan-117 was ever going to hook up with somebody, actual ones know that it will’ve both been the Arbiter or (someway) the bogus intelligence Cortana. That is about it on the subject of sturdy emotional attachments cast by a soldier raised from childhood as a killing machine. However “Halo” season 1 had different concepts, inventing the character of Makee and teasing her mysterious connections to the Grasp Chief. These connections turned considerably extra bodily throughout one sudden scene in episode 8 … and followers roughly revolted en masse. We will depend star Pablo Schreiber amongst them, apparently, as he defined within the newest challenge of SFX Journal:
“The choice to make the connection between Makee and John a romantic connection was an enormous mistake. I felt it was an enormous mistake on the time and I argued in opposition to it and fought in opposition to it. However I’m who I’m. I do not write the scripts. I solely give my opinion. It wasn’t listened to.”
After all, that was hardly the one second of nudity in “Halo” that shortly obtained the web’s consideration. An earlier episode took a giant swing (pardon the pun) and bared John’s backside for the world to see. The second was memorialized by way of the “Grasp Cheeks” meme, and govt producer Kiki Wolfkill remains to be answering for it:
“There are issues like ‘Grasp Cheeks’ the place I’ll say, admittedly, it was a blind spot for me how sturdy the response could be. On the finish of the day, taking a threat like that once more is extra about, do we want it to help the story? On the finish of the day, does ‘Grasp Cheeks’ must occur once more to help the story? In all probability not. That is not the sort of threat that is price taking.”
