In Response To: Re: Something else I don't like about "Halo 2.0" (SonGoharotto) : No, I meant that there are difficulties on both sides of the table. Among the : Sangheili, you've got those that follow Arbiter and are ready to forsake : everything associated with the old religious hegemony, versus a : 'Reformist' faction that believes humans are no better than the San : 'Shyuum and the Sangheili should assume their rightful place above all : others. Among humans, you've likewise got the optimists and pessimists; : the ones who are excited by the prospect of intragalactic cooperation and : the ones who'd prefer to see the filthy aliens suffer. Think of it like : relationship between Japan and the US after WWII. : The Kilo Five trilogy is taking the pessimist's approach, which goes against
I see. We would probably need more than a change of perspective though, like some diversity and actual intelligence within the Sangheili as well. Right now they are almost unsalvageable in a narrative sense; a race of ultra-conservative warmongers with a plethora of suspiciously convenient plot driving aversions and stereotypes of Humans. (100% less attempted moral disengagement from them would be good too) It just seems as though its Thel Vs the Sangheili in this aspect, and it's about as engaging as watching paint dry in terms of it's potential resolutions. It's a done deal with no investment from me to see how it plays out. I'm sort of unsure how much I should read between the lines in Kilo-5 though. There's a chance that 343i didn't intend for it to be taken this way.
