When Avatar first released in 2009, I wasn't completely sold on it. For a long time, I was one of those people who thought that no one cared about Avatar anymore. Sure, it was the highest grossing film of all time, but it couldn't possibly be relevant anymore, right? Well, I was feeble-minded back then and I didn't understand or care about cinema on the level that I do now.

Halo is a video game franchise that holds near and dear to my heart. When I first saw the announcement of a live-action series during E3 2013, my excitement levels reached to the stars. Legendary filmmaker, Steven Spielberg, was originally set to be the showrunner. With his longtime experience in the sci-fi and action genres, there was nothing more a Halo fan could ask for. Knowing that one of the greatest filmmakers was helming a live-action adaptation of a beloved gaming franchise was reassuring. Unfortunately, those plans did not last long, as the show went through many years of development hell. It seemed like the show was dead in the water, until Showtime and Paramount partnered to produce it. Nearly nine years later the “global hit” show released its first season, but at what cost? Was it worth finishing this fight?
