For several reasons. One, a lot of this page has been devoted to how Fireteam Osiris ''broke'' the fanbase with their addition and their characterization. There's much ado on how a lot of the fanbase regards them all as Creator's Pets. Yet this example claims that the fanbase greatly approves of Fireteam Osiris.

Which leads me to the second issue with this example. It says that Fireteam Osiris won over the fanbase because they are of diverse race and include women. Yet, to my knowledge, Spartans were ''already'' a diverse bunch: SPARTAN-[=IIs=] from both sexes and many different ethnic backgrounds have been around even since the companion novels released with the first game--and heck, Blue Team in ''Halo 5'' is proof of that. Even before ''5'', though, we saw this firsthand with ''VideoGame/HaloReach'', most prominently with the SPARTAN-[=IIIs=] Emile, Jun, and Catherine (and potentially Noble Six). Heck, even among the known SPARTAN-Is, there's Avery Johnson, Gladys Wilson, and Gilley. Knowing this makes me feel as if the

Knowing this makes me feel as if the \"crowd\" who was \"won back\" never actually had much interest in the series before \'\'Halo 5.\'\'

In fact, this example actually made me go and look into reactions concerning Fireteam Osiris. I saw some fans disparagingly refer to them as \"Fireteam Affirmative Action,\" who feel that those characters were created not in order to be compelling or well-written, but just to tick off boxes on some representation checklist. Which is how Tuckerscreator\'s example reads, come to think of it ... Definitely doesn\'t seem like a case of the crowd being won back.

Which raises the question: is Fireteam Osiris actually a case of winning back the fanbase? Or is this trope being misapplied, and Fireteam Osiris actually won over an \'\'entirely different\'\' crowd?
