Halo Legends

It's not that females aren't up to it or that they couldn't be developed into "super-soldiers". It's that there's no way they should have beaten out any men as viable candidates for the program.

I mean, they're basically turning these women into giant men. Hormonally, low levels of estrogen and high levels of testosterone would almost certainly be the goal. Why not just start out with a male who's closer to what you're trying to accomplish? Why spend money and resources just to close a gap when you can start on the other side of the chasm?

You obviously over-estimate the size of the population viable for spartan II level enhancement.

And muscles arn't all you're after with a soldier after all, women are generally more flexible and it's not like all the spartans were equal anyway vOv

I don't think Eric Nylund cares about flexibility. He wanted to write about female Spartans and thus there were female Spartans. Anything in science fiction can be explained away with some bullshit reason or another. But every one of us has a line for what we'll accept and what we'll reject. It just so happens that my threshold is more easily crossed than others. To each their own.

I posted what I posted knowing full well that it could be misconstrued as misogyny by a certain class of intellect. But I posted it anyway thinking that, a) people here have common sense enough to see the point I was trying to make, and b) I'd get the slightest benefit of the doubt and the smallest shred of respect around here. Wrong on both counts, I guess.

Time for me to hop back in my time machine and head back to the 1950's. No, wait, I'm going back to PRE-suffrage times. BECAUSE I'M ALL ABOUT THAT!

Considering the augmentation process, I don't think it matters if you start with men or women-- by the end they'd look pretty much the same thanks to the ridiculous amount of steroids and hormones pumped through them, combined with whatever else they did. I think they mention in the books how you can't really tell them apart (With the armor on, at least. That implies to me that their basic body shape (hips/shoulder proportions, overall shape, etc.) is the same.

I haven't seen the anime yet but somehow I imagine they prettied up the female spartans. Am I correct?

In steriotypical anime fashion, the masked, powerful character is a female with good looks.

ejburke: im going to feel really sorry for you once you've passed school and actualy met a woman, i dare say your first experience could be extremely painfull because of your womanizing attitude.
Also.
Anyone notice Dutch being a main character same with o'brian?
O'brian was in halo 2 and died pretty quickly in the video "another day at the beach" and well Dutch was from ODST.

what the hell when did this turn into final fantasy

When 4C got picked to do a halo anime.

I'm hoping some of the others are better than this, the only compliment I can give are the environments.

I believe the people who worked on GITS is doing one of the animes. That's pretty much the only one I have any hope for.
