    Doesn’t help that sex keeps being written into shows where it doesn’t belong.

    It’s trying to make a show “more adult” in literally the most childish way possible.

    That Halo show is a good example of completely needless sex scenes.

      I’d completely forgotten about the Halo show in general, and now you’ve just reminded me of Master Cheeks all over again :(

      All I know about the Halo show is that it ignores the entirety of the Halo lore in order to basically try to be a note for note rip off of the Mandalorian. But the fact that it has sex scenes bothers me, I mean isn’t it cannon that the Spartan project killed Master Chiefs libido and therefore he is effectively asexual?

        The rate at which the Spartan II augmentations killed people’s sex drive is overstated quite a bit, but yeah Chief doesn’t really show to have much of a libido (from what I’ve read, only at Ghosts of Onyx so far), and having this alternate version of Chief be so unhinged as to bang a POW really goes against canon Chief’s single minded dedication to his missions.
