In Response To: Re: My Thoughts *SPOILERS* (Quirel) : Art Style: Yes, I understand that der Sangheilios is tropical and humid. That : being said, however, the attempt to render this in harsh background colors : and yellow tints failed, because it made the action harder to follow. : Perhaps a more subtle color palette could have worked better, but it could : hardly have turned out worse. I would chalk this one up to differences between people. I had no problem following any of the action. : Furthermore in the art department, we have the continuation of the overdose
Frankie has stated that these two shorts (Babysitter and Duel) had the most Japanese influences. Sometimes artistic license can go a bit overboard with its source, just as they can show very little of where the inspiration came from. I might be wrong, but IIRC, part of the reasoning behind Legends was to show more of the Halo universe to fans, but also extend Halo to non-fans as well. With this in mind, I can understand why the Elites had a Japanese style, as this was a way of showing their culture, a culture similar to Japanese samurai. I also understand that, for as many people who can understand artistic license means an appearance that isn't 100% to what we know, there are just as many people who'll go "Hur, hur. Japanese aliens." : Third objection to the art: The female Elite.
This is something we should take a moment to stop and think about. For the first time, we have seen a female Elite. Is she an example of every female Elite? I'd put as much faith in that thought as thinking that Paris Hilton is an accurate example of the average human female. We have seen almost zero example of Elite physiology (sp?) beyond the average adult male. 8'6" tall, dark skin, no fur, lizard-like appearance. Han was smaller than Fal, and lighter in skin tone. This suggest that female Elites are of smaller build (7'-7'6" tall, maybe?) than males, and are more light brown/tan in appearance compared to a males dark brown. As for the hair and breast structure, again this is the first Elite female we've seen. We have not seen Elite young, so there is a possibility that they are born with a light layer of fur. As they'd grow, the fur would disappear, leaving the lizard-like appearance we know. Females may still keep a main of fur around the head and neck area, similar to male lions. The breast structure was a stylistic choice, as has been said. It was, for the major part, unimportant, and didn't stand out to me until I read the complaints about it here. : -Einen Uber-Jager ist todt... but what about the other two Hunters? Were they
Fal was a skilled fighter. The Halo games themselves have shown us that a single soldier (the Master Chief) has the ability to march through an entire enemy army and emerge the sole survivor. Also, it appeared that we didn't see the entirety of the battle. How did Fal flip the Wraith tank high into the air with nothing but a pair of energy swords? (Though I thought that he had somehow thrown that Wraith into one of the Hunters, making for two Hunters down that we could see.) : -I know the circle-while-watching-your-challenger-for-thirty-seconds and the
I felt that the circling fit nicely. Many animals in nature do it as a way of sizing up your opponent, and also as a way his movements to see if you can find an opening. The blood gush was exactly that, a stylistic choice commonly used in the anime medium. Compare all the other wopunds inflicted upon enemies by the Arbiter. Not one of them showed a massive spray of blood. This was a (slightly over the top) way of showing that the Arbiter had recieved a fatal wound. If it were to have been done, say, in a game cutscene, we wouldn't have seen that much blood. : -Seriously, what is with the applied Handwavium metal swords that can block
I would look at that as a way of marking out key characters. The swords had an identical appearance to regular energy swords, with the sole exception that they were coloured grey. Everyone who had a blue sword was someone we, the audience, should have been focused on. The Arbiter, the leader of the group of Elites in the beginning, the two Elites whose swords the Arbiter took when his died. Important character or not, all of them played an important part in the short. My only major complaint with the short is that I felt it would have had more of an impact if Fal had come to find Han's body while still clad in his armor. I understand that there could have been a moment off screen where he was removing the armor and learned of Haka's attack on his home, thus he entered in his robes. It just seemed a touch odd to me, especially with him immediately donning his armor again to fight Haka.
