The twitter post i got this from was removed for copyright so it’s real

There was a Halo TV show?

The legend has returned!
Weird Al put out a new Polka medley!
With songs like Bad Guy, Shake It Off, Uptown Funk, Old Town Road, We Don’t Talk About Bruno, and WAP (which I’m surprised he got away with doing actually)

@Just Wayne
Man I thought everyone heard. Lucky you. From what I’ve seen of reviews, it transformed the heroic colorful creative world of Halo into some generic melancholy emo world. They ruined Master Chief’s personality and rarely even wears a helmet.

I never played Halo but I grew up looking at wiki articles showing it as the coolest gaming universe ever.

And even if I know little about Halo, I know it’s not some boring dull show.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
Maybe the video game movie curse never really went away.

@Just Wayne
It’s not so much about the curse as it is about the wizards who caused the curse. Ones who don’t respect the source material and dom’t take advantage of what makes it unique.

It’s like seeing Minecraft and turning into some gritty Black Hawk Down style war movie with almost nothing to do with crafting.

I still say that the Warcraft movie was the most “feels like the source” video game movie I’ve seen.

Perfectly captures Warcrafts unique blend of “serious” melodrama with the utter maximalist absurdity of everything else.

“Watch these two muscly orcs with shoulderplates the size of buildings talk about deep philosophy while that wizard dude makes puns and shoots lightning out of his eyes.”

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
Trust me, I’m a Resident Evil fan. I know.

The worst part is I think Paul W.S. Anderson at least tried to capture the campiness of the games while still being pretty scary, at first.

@Zincy
Still holding out hope against hope we get more mainline Warcraft games, preferably set in a separate timeline from wow

IDW will be making a crossover between the TMNT and Naruto, coming this October

@Icicle Niceicle 1517
This looks amazing. Mikey and Naruto are a dangerous combo. I feel bad for Ralph.

@Icicle Niceicle 1517
That makes sense, because neither are actually ninjas.

For some reason this doesn’t hurt me on a spiritual level like many other crossovers do.

@Just Wayne
At least the turtles actually fight at night. Well at least in the 2003 show.

I guess Naruto wouldn’t be as marketable if they were just called “Magical Warriors”.

NSFW burger ad.

@Dustcan

LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOO

@Angrybrony
Not sure how I feel about that felt it ended on a pretty good well rounded point.

@Darth Prime
They’re not reviving the show. They’re just adding multiple seasons of it on Netflix.

Lady Deadpool in Deadpool and Wolverine

Also HEadpool and Cowboy Deadpool in the background

I got Vermis and Vermis 2.

Spiderverse: AHHHHHHHHHHH!

MAWS spoilers: Turns out Brainiac destroyed Krypton. Don’t think I’ve seen that continuity before.
