I'm just gonna throw out that it's waaaaay loving harder and much more time consuming to tweak a flat image. Am I correct in assuming AI doesn't use layers?

Yeah, absolutely not. It doesn't even really 'create' in a way where it could make a coherent layered file.

The world is not ready for a cheery "BLESS MY SOUL, HERC IS ON A ROLL" while he brutally murders his family.

if it wasn't in the hit game hades, it ain't canon

There is like a 90% chance she is going to be in Hades 2 considering the plot, and there's a significant chance she is the protagonist.

had to unbookmark the hades (lades) thread cause i don't want no spoilers

I apologize! For what it's worth that is just me going "This is what I expect considering the mythology used" and not anything grounded in spoilers or anything.

Why even sign up for a project like Halo if you don't even like the material.

Is the paycheck really worth it if you hate the thing anyway?

I mean, I think it would depend on the project. Approaching something you dislike the source material of and using an adaptation to criticize the unironic ideas of the source material is an entirely valid path. (See something like Starship Troopers.)

Halo's early lore (which, I admit, is the only stuff I know because I never got into the Halo plot) is unironic ra-ra fash bullshit and if you asked me to make a Halo movie I'd want to write about how hosed up and awful it is that the Spartan program is this glorified heroic necessary evil thing despite the fact it literally involved horrifyingly maiming children and was basically doing a "the Spartans were so COOL and AWESOME and MANLY" thing but sci-fi.

If you don't want to deal with the actual Halo lore and just have a cool dude in armor fighting aliens, I'd rather make a Doom movie.

Edit: If you asked me to do an adaptation of Harry Potter you best fuckin' believe I'd do it as accurate to the "lore" as possible which would mean there would 100% be good trans wizards and I'd replace all of Dolores Umbrige's dialogue with JK Rowling tweets.

admittedly it has been a long time(since the original release) since I read the first halo books, but I feel like it was very up front about how awful and inhumane the spartan program was and how terrible the human government was. I mean, it literally starts off with kidnapping children and replacing them with clones, and talks about how the Spartans were designed as supercops to crush dissent. At least until the covenant showed up and suddenly all of that interhuman conflict became irrelevant in a fight against eradication, and the Spartans purpose was rewritten on the fly as things got more and more dire.

It was up front about it but it was painted in the "the orphan grinder was a necessary evil to make people as cool as Master Chief" stuff, which is something you saw from people who glorify the made-up 300-style Sparta too. It could very well have changed since then because lord knows I have no idea what is up with Evil Cortana or whatever.
