The Slumbering Beast Awakes!
When the idea of a Halo movie was being bandied about many moons ago we created the Halo Movie Cynics Database: a user-created list that let you propose the most outrageously cliche scene, motif, or piece of dialogue you'd hate to find in a Halo movie. Something that'd make you groan and hide your poor defenseless eyes! MC befriending a young rookie, only to watch him succumb to a horrible and senseless death, thereby enraging him to completely destroy the enemy and save Earth? Check! Sarge dropping some 80's urban slang as he eviscerates an Elite? "Yo! I axed you to step away from that m'f'ing turret!" Check! Cortana being granted her wish and turning into a real girl, thereby running away with John and living happily ever after? Check (and... vomit!)
Alas the Halo movie is no more, but now we have word of Halo: Legends. Seven(!) animated short movies being created by some of the top Anime studios around. Anime? Why yes, Anime. Ooh, don't think I didn't see some of you twitch right there! So as a way to let you vent out your creative snarky juices, we've resurrected the link to the cynics page here on the front page for you to fill anew with some Anime specific cliches... stuff you feel will distract from the glorious essence of a sublime Halo animated short. And what the heck is it with that shaking treasure chest graphic on the db's page? Hmmm... So head on over and read past submissions or contribute one of your own. We'll make sure only proper submissions make it into the DB. Have at it! (Ding 02:05:06 UTC)
