Gravemind at the End of Halo 3
Posted By: SonofMacPhisto <sethjewett@gmail.com>Date: 6/9/08 1:25 p.m.

In Response To: Not to mention J.Keyes's grave mistranslation. (SinisterSamurai)


What about when Gravemind says something to the effect of, as you run to the warthog,

'Defeat is merely the passage of time, of a sentence I never deserved.'

And when he says it, he almost sounds depressed. Like... 'crap, the ring is going to fire and I have to go through this AGAIN!'

Has anyone come up with any thoughts on this? I haven't thought of anything substantial, other then this line is underrated, and more important then we realize.

Also... it occurs to me that Gravemind refers to himself in the 1st person exclusively. That's interesting to me, considering he is supposed to be a hive mind. Maybe we are looking at the flood all wrong? Perhaps it's better to think of them as ONE individual made up of countless disparate parts? What do we think of that?

And yes... for better or worse, then end of 'Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull' made me think of this. If you've seen it, you know what I mean. :-D
