Then MLG Bandwagoning came along and swept the goodness away by catering to all of the profags. I hate MLG. I hate them so much.

To me, canon wasn't ruined (surprisingly) before Greg Bear's cliche atrocity. That was 343i and Microsoft's decision. Worst part is, Frankie won't come out and say that the copy-paste was bogus. They were all like "This Greg Bear guy is awesome!" and I was like "Okay this sounds cool they have a writer who won some cool awards" and then I saw how all he did was copy-paste everything from his other work. Damn I wish there was a way to call someone out on contaminating other franchises with the same ideas from other franchises.
