[–] LazyBane@lemmy.world 57 points 2 years ago (3 children) Doesn't help that sex keeps being written into shows where it doesn't belong. It's trying to make a show "more adult" in literally the most childish way possible. That Halo show is a good example of completely needless sex scenes. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] loobkoob@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago I'd completely forgotten about the Halo show in general, and now you've just reminded me of Master Cheeks all over again :( permalink fedilink source parent [–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) All I know about the Halo show is that it ignores the entirety of the Halo lore in order to basically try to be a note for note rip off of the Mandalorian. But the fact that it has sex scenes bothers me, I mean isn't it cannon that the Spartan project killed Master Chiefs libido and therefore he is effectively asexual? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LazyBane@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago The rate at which the Spartan II augmentations killed people's sex drive is overstated quite a bit, but yeah Chief doesn't really show to have much of a libido (from what I've read, only at Ghosts of Onyx so far), and having this alternate version of Chief be so unhinged as to bang a POW really goes against canon Chief's single minded dedication to his missions. permalink fedilink source parent [–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Every show needs a romantic subplot.
