In Response To: Re: Halo 3's ad campaign - canon? (Stephen L. (SoundEffect))


: Yes, but the Memorial model was created after the events of Halo 3 (within
: the timeline). To all humans, the Chief is gone. Only we know better.
: They're not just going to show him lost. He fought at Earth in the Voi
: region and to most humans was never seen again. It may not be common
: knowledge that the Ark existed or the mission that took place there. The
: model depicts the Chief in a heroic fashion. He's gone, but as always, had
: that one last trick up his sleeve. The John-117 Memorial isn't depicting a
: snapshot of the battle, it's a dramatic recreation of the overall events
: at Voi.

Well, the "Making of the John-177 Memorial" documentary implies the exact opposite. The painstaking recreation of that landscape using topographic maps and architectual records was all for the sole purpose of representing a snapshot of the pinnacle of that battle. Many of the soldiers even reference the moment when Master Chief arms his grenade.

Don't get me wrong, I really like the idea of cannonizing the Believe Adds. But I'm pretty sure that's just because I liked the feeling and story they created much more than Halo 3.
