Re: Many HBO peeps have blocked out the truth

In Response To: Many HBO peeps have blocked out the truth (scarab) : Bungie's Dave Candland (Evil Otto) came here and explicitly told us that : Humans and Forerunners were the same. One of the most striking retcons to : me is the basic concept of whole role of humanity. Originally (back in : Halo 1) the reason why humans weren't conquered and incorporated into the : Covenant collective was because their presence defied Covenant religion. : When the Covenant discovered humans, they knew they were forerunners, but : their presence implied the "great journey" failed. They also : weren't the all powerful gods they worshiped, so the Prophets wanted to : "sweep them under the carpet," as it were. : As you said 343i have muddied the waters. Instead of creating new story they : have dragged out the old one. : This is what happened to The X Files and is why I don't care so much anymore : about canon or what the story is supposed to be. Anything said can be : unsaid so any effort made to comprehend the story could be wasted. I : rarely speculate about the Halo story and even when I do its with : seriously less enthusiasm. : But the most interesting thing is that most people appear to have forgotten : that we have been told, unambiguously, that the original, Bungie, intent : was that Humans == Forerunners. : Essentially they are in denial and I expect them to forget this reminder, say : in a couple of hours after reading this post - or maybe they will forget : immediately after moving on to another post. : Peoples' capacity for intellectual dishonesty and denial is staggering and : cannot be overestimated. Shame on anyone who 'forgets' again. I don't think anybody forgot about it. I think it's more likely that we're over it. Are we supposed to huff and puff about it forever?
