i rewatched tgm last night and i just had to see if other people were talking about maverick and hondo and i was SO happy to see your reply to that anon about hondo and mav!!! like i love ice and mav but hondo and mav????? oh my god like you said, hondo must have been with him through so much, he definitely has such a deep love and respect for mav and vice versa... oh i love them so much, their dynamic was so good :( i also like to think of them as the parent figures of the young top gun pilots like come on!! they took their kids to the beach for bonding time!!! just so sweet <3
YESSSS I'm so glad you feel the same!!! god Mav and Hondo are EVERYTHING to me. and the detachment are 100% their children. when all the younger pilots tackled and piled onto Hondo towards the end of the scene and Mav watched them, laughing? my HEART

YEAH EXACTLY LIKEDKSDFJ guess what? you don't have to watch or engage with this show if it's gonna make you this mad???? and exactly that too, chief takes his helmet off a bunch... i made a post once saying that the silver timeline john HAS to take his helmet off because that is how we as an audience can understand him as a character! just like mando from the mandalorian, he keeps his helmet on most of the time BUT we have to have moment like him taking his helmet off in order to feel what he is feeling, the same goes for john! and i also said that, this john will be different that main canon john because he isn't a blank slate here where the consumer can put themselves in his shoes, they have to give him a personality so he won't be a boring character (which is why they made him tell dad jokes or have sympathy for kwan!), this is the john the games don't show and i am glad we get to see his character fleshed out!!!! (sorry for the rambling, i just love john and how the halo is portraying him!! and you're welcome!!! i adore your gifsets so much <3)
i think a lot of people just went into the show intending to hate it no matter what. i can understand some people have legitimate criticism, but most of the negativity i've seen has clearly been from people who've only played the games and nothing more.
a good comparison i saw someone make saying that the show is following in halo 4's footsteps of exploring john's humanity under the armour. the contrast between the start of the episode with the insurrectionists saying that Spartans aren't human against him removing his armour to reveal that he is just a person underneath it all is part of why i think the scene worked so well.
i also get that some people thought seeing his face was jarring - i mean even i was a little shocked about it at first (even though i already knew they were going to do it) - but it's just because we're so used to seeing chief as a suit of armour. there's no reason he can't take his helmet off more often like he does in the extended universe, even though i doubt we'll ever see his face in the games.
also i'm surprised that some people don't seem to think pablo looks "like" chief... what exactly were they expecting? i always thought pablo was a good choice in terms of his physical appearance. he looks like an older version of how john appears in animation or the comics:
so yeah, i knew there was going to be a lot of outcry about the show because of moments like these, but at the end of the day it's just an adaptation - and there are plenty of other video game adaptations which changed a hell of a lot more compared to the games they're based on. but for me personally, i think the show is off to a good start. and thank you again for the lovely asks 😊

Me finally tuning into tumblr FAM content.
I just started watching the series 3 months back & just finished the 2nd season a couple nights ago. So anyone who has posted any FAM content since the series began, don't be surprised if I like/comment/reblog everything I find, no matter how old it is. And esp if it's my adorable, chubby teddy bear Gordo. ♥♥♥
