Watching Halo movie. I’ve played the game once for 5 minutes. No idea what’s going on. They’re gesturing at works building and lore I’m not sure exists. Potemkin extended universe?

Wife knows all about it because she was once involved in market research for it. She’s explaining stuff to me like who’s masterchief and how to kill the aliens.

Never thought I’d see Shabana Azmi in a budget CrisJen Avisarala type role. She’s kinda sucking. Pale shadow of her powerhouse performances in 70s/80s Hindi art house movies. Pity.

The best kind! Way too much tedious/Tolkeinesque loregrinding these days. Somewhat different genre, but shows like are master-classes in world building (then discarding) in under 10 minutes. Though I suspect Halo at least aspires to the former.

There's a pretty thorough extended universe. Lots of books and whatnot in addition to however many games.
TV show is a reboot of sorts though. Lots of references but slightly different than "canon".

The show is confirmed not canon but there's pretty extensive lore.
