(Character Development) One of my favorite scenes in Conan the Destroyer is when a seemingly nobody enemy ends up fighting Conan, but he almost beats Conan in the fight which lasts several minutes of going back and forth. In the end the enemy dies. Seemingly insignificant characters play key roles in many films, such as the sentry that somehow stumbles onto the party and sounds the alarm or keeps the entire party pinned down by machine gun fire. The whole mission now at stake because of this one obstacle. The Halo movie could have a similar scene with a seemingly insignificant Covenant guard who ends up fighting like a boss. Great stuff should that enemy end up dieing. However, given the worst of the worst everyone is just misunderstood PC script, after defeating the enemy, the Master Chief would spare his life and this enemy would become an ally. An ally that we find out is some prince of Grunts or something equally "royal" and of course, this makes the ally the perfect target to be killed by the real enemy big bad boss -- just to make a point to show just how big and bad he really is.
