Not only that, they probably would have been better off not using the original 4 playable characters since every game comes with a new set. Just make sure the side characters are done well and you keep the same feel as the games and it should have been an easy win

I think the Halo show could've been much more interesting too if they focused on someone not the main character of the games.

But no, gotta keep the most recognizable character

Only if they read anything about the games or books. Leaving master chief out doesn't fix the active contempt for the source material.

I would have fully supported a movie with Mister Torgue running around having adventures. Of course he would be played by John Cena in a mullet.
