Halo co-creator Marcus Lehto has weighed in on Paramount's TV show adaptation of the beloved game series, which has divided fans. 'Yeah, I’m not sure where the inspiration for the show comes from now. Not the Halo I made.'
Marcus Lehto, the co-creator of the Halo franchise, responds to criticisms of the Paramount TV series' adaptation of the video games. Lehto worked at Bungie from 1997 to 2012 and is credited as one of the key creative figures behind the highly successful Halo games, contributing to every instalment up until Halo: Reach, after which he left the company.
After a tumultuous development process, with names such as Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson originally attached at certain points, the Halo show eventually found its way to Paramount+ and began production in 2019. It was released in March of this year and set a record as the most-watched series premiere in the platform's history. However, the series was soon met with polarized online discourse.
Lehto's response is a fairly damming condemnation, since the co-creator's authority on the matter no doubt influences audiences of the Halo series. However, many creative decisions fuelled the backlash to Halo before Lehto voiced his opinion. For example, a particularly controversial decision the show took was to have Master Chief remove his helmet in episode 1.
With his tweet, Lehto has placed himself firmly on the disappointed side of the argument, and adds fuel to an already fiery discourse. Whether or not the criticisms from audiences and past developers will contribute to changes in the already confirmed Halo season 2 remains to be seen, but this may prove beneficial to the show's future success.
