Master Chief actor Pablo Schreiber reveals that he thinks the John and Makee romance in Halo season 1 was a mistake and that he argued against it at the time, to no avail. In , our forefathers watched a train arrive at La Ciotat station. In , families gathered to watch mankind take its first tentative steps beyond the surface of our planet. In , Master Chief had sex.
It’s mostly accepted that Master Chief is in fact asexual, despite having a strong connection with Cortana. In the live-action TV show, Master Chief is depicted as a heterosexual man, having a sexual relationship with Makee and possibly romantic feelings for Marine Lopez which was introduced in season 2. Even then, one of its most talked-about moments lingers long in the memory: that of Master Chief Pablo Schreiber having sex with human-turned-Covenant agent Makee Charlie Murphy. It was a moment that set tongues wagging and invited passionate discourse everywhere from Reddit to Twitter, and every message-board and forum in-between. Worry not, Halo-heads: Schreiber, back behind the helmet of John for a second season, shares your concerns about the relationship that - alongside the video game icon removing his helmet for the first time - courted controversy.
Probably, but thankfully Halo doesn't put a focus on sexuality and romances (if you exclude Chief and Cortana's "relationship"). Not everything needs to be about this. I don't care what a person's sexuality is.. I honestly don't. There is a lot of unnecessary stuff going on in movies and TV shows though and while this formerly looked like a Netflix mostly problem, it has extended to basically all the other networks as well.
In “Helicopter Story,” Barb’s rising gender dysphoria poses a threat to her mission and existence. At no point in Halo can Master Chief put down his weapons and talk to the aliens. Master Chief just had sex for the first time in Halo's canon as part of episode eight of the Paramount show. As a character, Master Chief has always been focused on war, fighting, saving marines, and just generally defending the universe, without any kind of hint towards him having a sexual side. The only thing close to that we see is his relationship with Cortana, an AI that doesn't have physical form for most of the Halo games.
