If only the TV show writers knew how dumb and lore breaking having a human alive and in a position of power within the covenant really is

[SkyNinja]

TL;DR, the Covenant is jealous that humanity is the chosen species to reclaim the forerunner legacy.

[mrswaninator]

The prophets were mad that we were technically the chosen ones and then labeled us as shoot to kill on sight.

[BrianHarkness]

I like that after years of fighting even some Elites question why Humans aren’t allowed to join especially after proving themselves worthy with how long Humanity is holding out

[owllegostopmotion]

Man i can relate to the covenant i am also in an age of doubt

[dratorak]

Someone show this to the Halo show writers

[TheInfiniteSheldon]

Sarge: "The Covenant won't let us join 'em and I think I know why."
Cortana: "Why?"
Sarge: "Because we keep sending their ashes to their wives and children!"
Marines: "OORAH!"

In an alt universe, the covenant started worshipping humans.

[Runescythe]

Humans literally invalidated their religion. So instead of coming to terms with that realization, the Prophet of Truth would instead live with the lie and ordered humanity’s extermination. Since it was around the time he was given the title of ‘Truth’, even he would admit to the irony of his own name

[RedneckRapture]

See, the Covenant didn't know that the humans had 1) plot device and 2) the player character.

[ZZCAR]

Humans: *asks legit questions*

Aliens: "you aren't supposed to do that"

[KickBAc]

It's even sadder when you find out that the race the prophets belonged to and Humanity before the forerunners sent us back into the stone age were actually incredibly tight-knit.

[CaptUnstoppable]

Man, imagine if the Covenant came across the Imperium

[michaelhall]

Human: I have a question
Covinent: (heavy breathing)

[devastater]

One of the actual worst and costly Human conflicts in all of science fiction was started over a lie told by three jackholes.

[logan_jp]

Halo TV show writers: how about we do that anyway

[---xkcp]

The book "Halo: Contact Harvest" covers all of this in great detail as well as details about how the AI work and a bit about Sgt. Johnsons background. It also does a good job giving a look at how humanity Pre-Covenant look at the galaxy and life in that time as a whole.

Luminaries are souls wrapped in a metal shell. They understand our mistakes because they made them. They were us once.

[Alice.Morningstar]

The covenant in short: were just jealous

[stephenstonge]

Tldr: humanity was like a third grader asking questions that the covenant just couldn't allow in the room. 😂
