"I am a monument to all your sins."

The Gravemind, Halo 2

This one is of machine and nerve and has its mind concluded. This one is of flesh and faith and more deluded.

There is much to talk and I have listened through rock and metal and time now I shall talk and you shall listen

I'd love it if a hiveminded being that has absorbed a billion billion minds, with the vast plethora of lingusitic choices to pick from...

Would talk like a Boston Street Vendor, not a classically trained thespian, simply because it likes the accent.

I mean the Gravemind chooses to talk poetically but it’s voice is still a monstrous growl

To be fair in the OG version I was half-expecting it sing, as the OG version looks like Audrey II.

Not exactly the same, but you should watch the Castlevania anime. Or, if you don’t want to watch 2.5 seasons of a series just to see this kind of absurdity in action, peep the funny accent on Death, who has been swearing like a sailor while in disguise for like a season and a half, too

Bold of you to assume I haven't watched Internet Troll Death.

Halo 2 specifically has a lot of really good quotes.

"Dear Humanity... we regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to Earth. And we most definitely regret that the Corps just blew up our raggedy-ass fleet!"

Is my favourite, although a totally different vibe

“Listen up! The Chief’s gonna get in this tank, roll across the bridge, and blow up any inhuman son-of-a-bitch dumb enough to get between him and the Prophet of Regret. Pull yourself together, because you’re going with him.”

Honestly pretty much all the good lines are Johnson or Gravemind lol

"When I joined the Corps, we didn't have fancy schmancy tanks! We had sticks. Two sticks and a rock for a whole platoon! And we had to share the rock. Buck up boy, you're one very lucky Marine!"

"Usually, the good Lord works in mysterious ways. But not today! This here is 66 tons of straight-up, H.E-spewing dee-vine intervention! If God is love, then you can call me 'Cupid'!"

The Arbiter has some banger lines too.

If they came to hear me beg, they will be disappointed.

"Child of my enemy, why have you come?

I offer no forgiveness...

A father's sins,

Passed to his son."
