In Response To: Re: Official box art 'apparently'! (Beckx) : So this is an interesting phenomena I haven't really considered before. : When a new artist takes over a comic, there's a general sense of excitement
: When it happens with video games or movies, we freak out. : Why? Perhaps it is because the video games are the primary source of canon. Art, books, (even movies to some extent) can be dismissed more readily. The game itself, however (especially since they're calling it "Halo 4") remains as the ultimate source of and the final authority on what is or is not "Halo". I would not be against such a change if they provided a decent explanation for it (see Halo 1 to 2). But unless they provide a decent explanation, then it's hard for me to take the Halo universe seriously if they can just go about making major changes all willy-nilly just because they feel like it. Making a change to something as major as the look of the primary protagonist for the past 10 years is not something that should be made out of "artistic license". It's just wrong. I can't explain how and I'm not even sure why (yes, all of that^ is just speculation; I am not an authority on the psychology of gamers). I'm not against change and I am generally not bothered by small things (like the Pillar of Autumn being in atmosphere without explanation). But we're not talking about the many changes the Scorpion tank has undergone over the years; we're talking about the Master-freaking-Chief. He's the centerpiece of the entire Halo universe. You don't just walk into Bungie's dinning room, claim that you "Get It", and then replace the dinning table. I wouldn't be bothered if they added some trim to the dining table. Or even if they painted it a different color. But they straight-up threw out the old one and brought in a new one.
