Is The Mandalorian proving you don't need to reveal Master Chief's face?

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Revealing Master Chief's face has long been a point of discussion in the Halo community, especially when it comes to extended media; the upcoming ShowTime series, for example. The Mandalorian is still only on episode 3, but I think it's safe to say you don't need to reveal Master Chief's face in order to effectively convey emotion. Not only The Mandalorian, but there are plenty of faceless characters where this rings true.

So, how do you feel?

EDIT:

• Yes, I already said other faceless characters exist lol. Read the OP.
• The point is The Mandalorian has made it work in 3 episodes and will continue to make it work, unless his face completely replaces his helmet.

 

[Gundam]

I haven't seen Mandalorian but you do not need to show Master Chief's face.

Also, please watch Dredd if you haven't

 

[NinjaScooter]

How do you know they won't reveal the Mandalorian's face?

I agree, but I'm also convinced the Mandalorian's taking his helmet off before the show wraps....

 

[xxracerxx]

Judge Dredd proved this long ago.

 

[Fat4all]

i just want to see the bottom half of the face and nothing else

like in Dredd

 

[Khanimus]

Mandalorian has had three episodes. We don't know where it goes or if they will eventually.

 

[Gold Arsene]

You know Judge Dredd has been a thing for a long time now right?

Spoiler

Stallone doesn't count.

 

[Bomblord]

It's been a running thing so long now that them revealing it would have absolutely no hype or stakes behind it.

I'll eat my own imaginary hat if the Mandalorian doesn't take his helmet off at the end of the show.

 

[Shelbyville Milhouse]

I mean, why reveal his face now.
What do people expect, he's just gonna look like a guy.
It's not like it's a mystery how he looks

Not like he's gonna take his helmet off and it's like Gordon Freeman under there.

 

[Fat4all]

all this Dredd love is chocking me up

 

[Cranster]

The Halo TV series is not canon to the rest of the media and is it's own continuity anyway. So either way it won't matter.

People actually want his face to be revealed?

 

[Dio]

DREDD is so good. i need more Urban overacting.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

No need to reveal.

But why would a three episodes of a show make me feel any different than the multitude of games over almost 2 decades now?

 

[Butch]

I'd love it so much if they never show Mando face, but it will happen.

 

[L Thammy]

but you do have to reveal his butthole

 

[Mozar]

so far there have been only 3 episodes, they can reveal it by the end of the season or later

 

[Deleted member 17184]

We know who is playing The Mandalorian, so we know his face. The difference there is that we have no idea how Master Chief really looks like.

But to be honest, I don't mind not revealing.

 

[Rogue Agent]

Karl Urban Dredd rules. Mandalorian is cool so far.

[Wetwork]

I saw people thirsty over the Mando's wrist on twitter today.

Not gonna lie, I wanna sign up for Disney+ now

 

[Ploid 6.0]

Haven't watched it, but I really like what Noir did in the role of playing Noir on The Boys. Such an awesome method actor, and one of my favorite characters on the show. I didn't need to ever see his face.

 

[LewieP]

Haha came to post Dredd.

 

[Lobster Roll]

Reveal of MC's face would be as dumb as giving Link a voice. Let's stop trying to make everything as beige as possible.

 

[Wyman Manderly]

i just want to see the bottom half of the face and nothing else

like in Dredd

Or the top half of the face.

What exactly is going to be special about Master Chief's face

Nothing, we've known what he looks like for over a decade now.

 

[Deleted member 21709]

Halo already proved that. Not sure if it works as well in The Mandulorian though.

 

[GuessMyUserName]

I never knew a desire to reveal MC's face was a thing...

By that logic we know what Master Chief looks like...Pablo Schreiber.

 

[AllEchse]

we are literally only 3 episodes in, how do you know they won't try to make a reveal later.

 

[headspawn]

I double doubt they aren't going to show the Mandalorians face within the next two episodes.

 

[sabrina]

In the best Star Wars movie we see Jango and Boba's faces, and the world was better for it. I like that I can both identify Jango as a cool faceless killer, and as a charming dad who just wants the best for his incest son.

 

[Genryu]

Or the top half of the face.

[PeaceSeeker]

but master chief doesn't talk much....

 

[jelly]

Doesn't bother me either way, I'm more worried about his armour actually working in live action.

Man gotta eat too. Wait does he eat?

His armour turns his poo into food and his helmet deposits it back into his mouth.

 

[jelly]

Does he shave ?

Does he poop?

Nanomachines.

 

[Kurdel]

The fact that they adressed it in the third episode garantees that he will take it off.

 

[OG_Thrills]

Umm... You must be new to Star Wars

Also the Mandalorian's only took to not remving their helmets/hiding their identity after specific events in that universe.

Reveal ! Even though it's a double edged sword : there's no fun in not knowing BUT the truth is almost always disappointing.
I remember watching videos of Dark Souls characters "unmasked" : Solaire, Lautrec, Astorias, Seigmeyer, Tarkus, Havel, etc. It was fun discovering them.

That said if it's for a comical effect I accept it.

 

[EVIL]

I thought halo showed that you don't need to show master chiefs face. The absence of something is often better, especially with iconic characters like the chief. You an never satisfy anyone with a face for a character like that, everybody imagines a different one.
