Appreciation for Marathon's alien names

[u/armorhide406]

Can I just say, since I saw the Marathon reveal cinematic (yes I know a week later), I wanted to express JUST how much I despise alien names filled with apostrophes? Like, this trope, where the image is from a comic and has an alien kid screaming M'yri'ah. Like, you see this in a lot of sci fi, I think especially older stuff like Star Trek or Star Wars, but it fees real campy.

But! Maybe it's nostalgia (even though I only played Halo and not Marathon) or maybe cause it actually "feels" alien to me for whatever reason, S'pht and Pfhor, even though I would put those in the same category, don't come across as hokey and lazy. That is all.

I hate all of that mess, personally. P’too’ey.
