That "We Already Do" was so creepy and awesome. And it's true I'm sure

[rell]

you mentioned that the flood likely share a similar biology to the precursors in the form of a kind of supercell, this led to a thought: what if the precursors simply said, "hey, our children/creations want us dead, so lets go through the cycle again", and just went back to an earlier state of their own existence, as in the precursors are the logical evolution of the flood, of what happens when the flood inevitably wins? if they simply went through a literal rebirth of their species from its earliest point in evolution, that would also explain why they felt the need to seed life, because they had previously consumed it all...
Edit: correction in spelling

Halo in 2000’s: Wow, these Forerunners are the most mysterious figures of the Halo universe
Halo in 2020: Hold my Mantle

[Sveargiths]

Now THIS would be cool. I just hope that they won't make the introduction as confusing as 4/5's reveal that humans were as ancient as Forerunners in a quick little flashback that requires many other alternate materials to fully comprehend.

[crazyscotsman]

If the Flood or Covenant showed up next month I would hardly blink an eye with how this year has been.

[angry_eck]

could the precursors telling the forerunners that they weren't worthy just be a test

[battlelord]

Thank you for covering this and ALL Halo lore, can't wait to meet you at 1Mil Subscribers keep it up sir 😁👍

[joshdoz]

But the Precursors are technically still around.

The Flood is composed of bits and pieces of Precursor dust.

[jannegrey]

How did the Forerunners killed the Precursors exactly? And what were exact reasons? Those were the questions that made me lose sleep at night ;) Thanks!

Halo: A memeworthy FPS played by 12-year olds

Halo Lore: The universe is alive and eternal life is attainable

Hell of a juxtaposition there.

[RAMZAVFX]

So "the flood are just testing humanity" theory holds weight. Interesting.

[Oscar-wpcq]

This was amazing! Dude! It reminded me of how deep some lore videos of Destiny lore can be! This is like hearing about the ancient creation of the universe we play in. Just how the traveler and darkness are for destiny. This is sooo cool and I’d love to see it almost being treated like a cycle of returning and disappearing like the reapers do in mass effect. Amazing job!!!!

[rignatetris]

Most likely the Term 'gone', doesnt mean the version of it meaning dead or destroyed, but the one meaning left and disappeared. meaning the Forerunners fought and tried to destroy them, and the precursors are not gone, just they dont know where. that probably worried the forerunners.

“As long as the universe exists, the precursors exist”
(Vacuum decay) “imma bout to ruin this mans whole career”

[justanotheryoutuber]

The precursors let the forerunners believe they died as part of a test and knew that they would be reborn again but they are INFINITE like the universe and are busy doing bigger and better things but will return to the milky way to see if they will give the mantle to human, convenent, brutes, or gravemind after the galactic war. It is all another test

[kristahatton]

Thank you for the content this detailed. The gravemind saying that line. Dam man. Very surreal. That line made me step back listening. This is Raymond Hatton aka gun racks. 5-5

[brandonperez]

I can see a future and coming cutscene where we get mind blown with the flood and the precursors being one

[GiantArapaima]

Maybe the function of the flood is to reach a critical mass sufficient to rebirth the precursors. Maybe the flood are just another stage in the precursors life cycle and a gravemind can eventually become trans-sentient.

[lillyalightbornexo]

Oh. This could be absolutely great for humanity or completely detrimental, considering we were supposed to have the mantle passed to us.

[feedmatrix]

I come to realize that the mysterious vibe and ancient like feeling that we had of the forerunners back in the original trilogy is now morphing into our perception of the precursors.

Hope 343I does not mess this up too.
