Re: Wait, Palmer was instrumental in WHAT?

: Speaking as someone who is overly fond of strong women in power armor, Palmer
: would still be a character with zero redeeming value.

: Setting aside the fact that 343i is so desperate for us to like her, there is
: nothing believable about her as a soldier or a leader. Reading the
: summaries for the upcoming comics, it's like Brian Reed doesn't even know
: /what/ qualities makes a good leader.

I think Palmer exists for the same raeson Dare and the rest of the ODST team exist: fan service. When I heard that motherfucking Commander Shepard was gonna be in Halo, I lost it, I was so excited. It took a long time for me to acknowledge that the character is poorly written and largely without value to the overall story. Compare to ODST, where the team (I dunno about Dare, I never watched her show) is pretty much just ctrl-v'd out of Firefly, but they're well assembled and competent.
