Re: Halo and the Bechdel Test

In Response To: Halo and the Bechdel Test (Cody Miller)

: Let's talk about gender one more time :-p

: I wondered, do the Halo games pass the Bechdel test? If you aren;t familiar,
: the test was created in 1985 to illustrate how visual media was mostly
: male dominated / slanted. You 'pass' the test if: 1. There are two named
: female characters.
: 2. They talk to each other.
: 3. The topic of conversation is something other than a man.

Generally, I append to this "The conversation must last a few rounds." This weeds out dialog like the brief exchange between female Noble 6 and Kat.

: Halo 2 - Miranda asks Cortana what she is looking at, and Cortana tells her
: it’s another Halo. PASS

Went and rechecked the dialog. Lasted longer than I thought. Pass.

: If I missed anything, or if you can test Halo Wars / Spartan Ops, reply
: below!

Halo Wars: Anders yells at Serina to get out of her office. Nothing else. Fail.

Spartan Ops: Couldn't care less.

           That's pretty one-sided, IMO. Both parts. *NM*ZackDark3/23/14 5:34 pm
