We need Penitent Tangent to run the CDC.

This scene was never as scary as it should have been because of the graphical limitations of the period. Now however. The flood are no longer just a nuisance. They seem genuinely terrifying.

"Relax...I'd rather not piss this thing off"

"There is much talk, and I have listened. Through rock and metal and time." Glad to hear the Gravemind's musical preference. I wonder what bands he likes..

This is the most cannonically correct version of gravemind, it is just a sentient mass of decaying corpses. The original looked like a fly trap, or a bean stalk lol.

The fact the Gravemind could hear Cortana inside Chief's helmet is such a nice touch. It shows that the Flood didn't just mindlessly consume the Forerunners, but learned and developed to counter their attempts at destroying them. Which means the Gravemind had either dealt with their technology at one point, learned how it worked from the marines they infected, or had an organ that sensitive to sound.

Gravemind is without question one of my favorite Villains of all time; a hyper-intelligent, poetic and philosophical eldritch abomination whose very body is formed from the corpses of his fallen enemies.

I will forever love how the Gravemind basically just puts on a puppet show for Chief and the Arbiter lmao

I wasn't comfortable with the gravemind before

"This one is machine and nerve.... and has it's mind concluded.

Took me a minute to figure out why he said "I am a monument to all your sins".

" Fate had us meet as foes. But this ring shall make us brothers! "

Halo 2: Dragonfly-looking plant Muppet

who else thinks that they should make movies using this type of cgi

nothing is more badass than a philosopher god-like alien devil XD

If you listen really closely, it almost sounds like the Gravemind's voice is made up of multiple voices. It's almost as if there is a slight echo

Gravemind: "This is not your grave! But you are welcome in it." "I... I am a monument to all your sins!" "There is much talk, and I have listened..... through rock, and metal, and time. Now I shall talk and YOU shall listen!" "Silence fills the empty grave, now that I am gone. But my mind is not at rest.... for more questions linger on. I will ask and YOU will answer." And my favorite of the two riddles I know of what he says: "Child of my enemy why have you come? I offer no forgiveness; a father's sins (Forerunners), passed to his sons (Humanity)." "Of course you came for her (Cortana).... we exist together now; two corpses in one grave."
