In Response To: Re: Interesting Frankie Quote (Narcogen) : Yes, it does, when the poignancy of that line is derived directly from the : importance of those future events. : "Wake me when you need me" is poignant because it is an embodiment : of the dutiful soldier that the Chief has always been. Because the moments : when he has been needed are such dire circumstances. : If the future circumstances of that awakening do not rise to the level of : importance of previous occasions, then the poignancy of the line has been : not merely blunted, but ruined. If they wanted to make a joke of it, that : would be fine, but there's no hint of humor here, either. A : "-tap-tap- Are you in there?" sort of approach, as used before, : would have been far more appropriate if that is the case. I disagree about the lasting significance of the line in Halo 3. If 4 turns out to be a farce about saving the universe from clowns or some such nonsense, and I go back and play through 3, the line will still be meaningful in the only context it was ever intended to be meaningful, the end of that game. Of course it will also evoke other feelings, but the point of it - capping the three-game arc - will still stand. The fact that 343 chose to use the same setting to announce the return of Master Chief? It makes sense to me. Perhaps I'm not seeing things as deeply as others, but I think I got what 343 was trying to do with this. - Ooh, they're nerves. Must really be out of it. - Hey, it's the Chief, he's still in the cryotube! - Wow, snow in a space ship? How long has he been in there? - Jetpack? Where'd he get that? How long HAS he been in there?!? - Hey, is that the same planet/thing as in the legendary ending? Or...? Like I said, maybe I'm simpler than many here, but it worked for me.
