the core appeal of the Halo franchise is the fantasy of a hyper competent pan galactic imperial space military recieving a perfect enemy deus ex machina style, so you feel less bad for thinking the space military industrial complex looks sick as fuck
@sarahzedig I dunno that I'd call the UNSC hyper competent, but you're right
@sarahzedig I've always been sad that 343 flinched away from Halo 4 being about Master Chief having his own "wait everything I fight for is built on lies!?" Moment like the arbiter did. But the UNSC can't become the bad guys so all those stories about the UNSC doing extremely evil stuff they were publishing went nowhere.
