Who has been the most controversial villain in the Halo universe?
If by controversial you mean the villain that has received the most criticism for simply being an antagonist, then I think that the community has a pretty clear answer…
Cortana. Bringing her back after her death in Halo 4 was already seen by many as a poor creative choice, especially since the explanation for why she is still alive arguably comes across as a hand wave. To then make her a villain seems like an insult to the character and her legacy, and it doesn’t help that her motivations weren’t articulated very well in the game.This is just my opinion, but I honestly can’t think of any other antagonist in the Halo series that has been as divisive or controversial.
I haven’t met a single person who agrees that
bringing Cortana back is such a well relatable, written and creative storyTo be honest, it might just be bad story, but yeah.
Cortana, duh…
Have a nice day!
ME!
Or Cortana, yeah probably Cortana.
Cortana is or isn’t a villain? at least 343 makes us see that if it’s a villain in halo 6
