I still remember when I first heard about Xbox making aHalo TV show.

An entire decade before.

Master Chief and Doomguy

This community-made concept image looks totally badass.

It was around the time of the Xbox One announcement and launch.

TheHalo TV showwas part of the whole “all your entertainment in a single box” push.

Halo fans around the globe held their gaming controllers, hoping for a cinematic Master Piece.

Cortana Face Eww

Microsoft channels Cortana to say, “Eww! Nah, I’m good."

It’s one of the easiest things to get right.

I guess that’s what made the following news all the more confusing to me.

It’s what didn’t show up that people found rather baffling.

Master Chief and Doomguy

I need to play Doom again. It’s that time of year I think.

Or something like that.

I’m like, ‘Man, you think that we didn’t talk to Halo or something?'”

And it’s exactly what Tim said; they were like, ‘Nah.'"

The only shot I’ll accept of the helmet being off.

Okay, I get it.

Why didn’t Microsoft say “Yah” instead of “Nah”?

Can Microsoft allow someone else to make a Halo TV show at the moment?

Halo TV Series

After Paramounts failure, a successful spinoff like Secret Level could ruin the relationship between the two companies.

While Halo failed, Microsoft has found success with Amazon and itsaward-winning take on Fallout.

Respect the source material, and it’s pretty damn easy to find success.

Halo 2: Anniversary

Gamers aren’t a mystery.

It sounds silly, but I’ve seen companies halt production over sillier things before.

Remember when Disney and Sony almost completely canceled theSpider-Manfranchise that was worldly beloved?

Xbox in a field

It sounds silly, but I’ve seen companies halt production over more childish things before.

Remember when Disney and Sony almost completely canceled the Spider-Man franchise, which was a box-office record-setter?

This writes itself, people!

Activision Blizzard character heroes

I didn’t even realize how sad this whole thing was until I started writing this fanfic.

Is it too late to petition Microsoft to say yes for the second season?

At least the Halo Infinite storyline is pretty decent.

What do you think?

Let us know below or on social media.

I’ll be checking out the replies and conversing with anyone that wants to.
