Why Cortana from Halo is Getting Sexier - Fan Theory

 

Redditor 0101111000101010 has an interesting theory that Cortana, the fictional synthetic intelligence character in the Halo video game series isn't getting sexier by accident. Here's their theory as to why...

So quite a few people have noticed that Cortana's body model is becoming far more sexualised as the series progresses. Here's a handy chart:

Why Cortana from Halo is Getting Sexier

For Halo 3 and again for 4 It's really stepped up a notch. She gets curvier and her err... 'assets' become bigger. Her image is much much closer to a In fact games journalists noticed it back at Halo 3: "The hologram representing Cortana has inexplicably had a sexy makeover.".

So what is going on? Is it just gaming industry sexism? Would she have gotten more sexualised as Graphics improved anyway?

Yes. That's absolutely what it is. However that's boring, kind of sad and deeply disappointing for such a normally well thought out story. So here's an alternative.

Cortana's body becomes more feminine (an over-the-top feminine shape in fact) as time progresses for an in universe reason. The reason is creepy as hell that she doesn't just love Master Chief, she's attracted to him. The big jumps in sexualisation of her body image happen between 2 and 3 when she's left alone and thinking about John, and between 3 and 4 when she's left alone with John. In Halo Legends she tells him stories even though he can't here her because A) she's really lonely and B) she really really wants to be with him. She's sexualising her projection to look appealing to John, and because she's an AI the body shape is a little less than subtle.

Smart Halo AI's are based on mappings of a human brain so the physical structures that lead to sexual attraction are already there. Here's the thing though, and this is why it's extra creepy, Cortana is based off Dr. Catherine Halsey's brain. A woman who, for all intents and purposes, is John's mother figure. As Smart AI's only have 7 years to live and Halo: Reach shows us that Cortana was 'born' recently, Cortana was mapped from Halysey who had been John's mother figure for decades.

TL;DR Cortana's exponentially increasing bootyliciousness isn't just industry sexism, it's a conscious or unconscious choice by Cortana to look attractive for the Chief and tallies with events in their relationship. The longer she spends away from him the more she wants him so the more sexualised she becomes. Plus it's extra creepy because she basically his mum's brain.
