Halo game franchise co-creator Marcus Lehto has reacted skeptically to the popular, though divisive, Paramount+ series adaptation. Said Lehto on Twitter, “I’m not sure where the inspiration for the show comes from now. Not the Halo I made.”
Lehto was tagged, and then responded, to a thread discussing a Light Night Gaming video critical of the Paramount+ series. Although the Halo TV series has long been on record as taking place within the Silver Timeline–which is separate from the games, which also means Master Chief will be shown in a different light than the games and books–many fans, and also Lehto say they are unsure who the show is intended for if it diverges from the source material so dramatically.
