In Response To: Oy. (MarineCorps117) : I think you're all misinterpreting the entire reason I posted this. I think in the spirit of current events with this community, no post is going to be reacted to simply on its own... I think there have been so many posts about concerns for the franchise, that any such post will be responded to in light of all the others. Most of the people posting cons in this thread are reacting to the entire negative response towards Halo's decentrification, not just yours. At the same time, a large part of your beef simply seems to be with science fiction symantics in general, not just Halo. 98% of science fiction is written to appeal to as wide an audience as possible, and as such, it will be written in a way that is easy for readers to understand. Writers often focus on the sentiment of a statement, rather than the specific words, and the majority of readers read the same way. It's sad that you focus more on the word than the idea. A less Halo educated reader would be removed from the story because the writer were using symantics dependant on the specific universe. Readers don't live in the Halo universe, they live in this one. However, both of your examples of misused symantics have no problems in them. An elite has an ass, no? |
