Re: Similarities in Cortana and Gravemind speech *

In Response To: Similarities in Cortana and Gravemind speech *SP* (Ross Mills [subnova])

: Comparing Cortana's speech in the Halo 3 trailer and the first 3 things that
: the Gravemind says when you meet him.

: I....I have defied Gods and Demons

: I?...I am a monument to all your sins

: Both use religious terminology to show who they are, and the same method of
: talking, especially with the "I", although Cortana's can be
: chalked up to poor data transfer, I found it interesting that they only
: use the "repeating I" on the first part of Cortana speech, and
: never on the rest.

: .

: I am your shield. I am your sword.

: This one is machine... This one is but...

: They both use the same method of speech when talking about themselves or
: others. They use seperate sentences to promote what they are trying to
: say.

: .

: I know you, your past, your future...

: There is much talk and I have listened, through rock and metal and time

: This one is more shady, but the fact that the Gravemind has listened
: "through time" perhaps shows something about what the Gravemind
: can do. Perhaps Cortana can do the same if linked to it, thus allowed her
: to see Master Chief's "future".

The first lines are obviously very similar the second one as well but not so much, and the third one seems slightly stretching it..

but as far as the "listening through time", i THINK the Gravemind said that as a metaphor, signifying he's/it's very very old, as opposed to the literal meaning..but of course this is just my inference.
