    Remember that panel when Geoff said he missed the days when it was just a group of friends playing Halo in someone's basement laughing and having a good time
    And then everyone laughed because they thought he was joking
    He didn't laugh, just looked at the floor, defeated

      Geoff is a good actor and comedian who is also unfortunately a huge loser, who can't help himself. Once the first fires started at the company, he could've easily split-off into his own projects with a small team from the old crew--instead he stuck through every single controversy like his life depended on it, and sank with the ship.
      He has a podcast now--cool, good for him. I hope he sticks to being funny on the internet, instead of crying for the sake of companies that serially abuse their employees.

    The success of Red vs. Blue was absolutely symbiotically linked to the success of the Halo IP as a whole, so it obviously makes sense that when the main IP went through its downward spiral, it dragged everything else associated with it. The initial lore for RvB from the very first season, before any retcons or changes, used the Halo CE story itself as its backdrop just to set the stage for why all these things were occurring. Grif directly referenced Master Chief blowing up the Covenant armada at the first Halo ring.

    • @nagger8216
      @nagger8216 Месяц назад +18

      Not to mention the whole point of Wyoming and Tex teaming up to kidnap Tucker's kid in season 5 was their way of stopping the Covenant. If Reconstruction takes place just after the war, then season 5 definitely takes place during Halo 2/3 when Earth was being actively invaded, which is pretty important context for why they're teaming up to use Tucker's kid as a way to dismantle the Covenant from the inside. That's something you wouldn't understand at all if you haven't played the games.

    • @thoughtsuponatime847
      @thoughtsuponatime847 Месяц назад

      @@thoughtsuponatime847 That's bullshit lol, season 6 is straight up called "Reconstruction," as in, the reconstruction after a major disaster. Just like the US' Civil War reconstruction. Plus Wash explains to Church in that season the entire reason Project Freelancer even existed was to basically find cheaper super-soldiers to win the war with the Covenant. The Freelancers pairing with AI, that was all experimentation that would directly lead into the Master Chief and Cortana finally pairing together in the games. Not to mention the Meta, which is taken directly from the 4th stage of Rampancy, Metastability. Which, as the counselor explains in season 10, is when an AI achieves the state of becoming an actual person. The entire reason the Director had to torture the Alpha/Church was because of they couldn't copy an AI since Church was basically a clone of the Director's brain. That is all Halo lore.

    I remember coming across Red vs Blue back in 2005, when they were interviewed by Bungie on the Halo 2 collector's edition behind the scenes disk. Looked it up on old RUclips and loved it, along with their live action skits and spin off series such as stranger hood. I think it was around the Halo 3 era I stopped caring about it, and by extension Rooster Teeth as a whole by 2012.
    It really is jaring to see what they've become, then going back and watching that interview and seeing a bunch of nerds having fun with mics and Halo CE at their houses. The internet really was a different beast back then.

    I loved RWBY when it came out, and despite my deep nostalgia for the series, the first three seasons were definitely not as good as people remember. It was cool music and fight scenes with lukewarm story to connect them. It was mostly a case of having a lot of promise to eventually become good with the characters and setting people took interest in. But when S3 destroys the setting, kills two big secondary characters, and scatters the main cast, any promise the series had was gone. I really hope it gets a more thoughtful reboot if VIZ media does anything with it after their purchase when RT shut down.

When RWBY came out, I was starting to really get into anime in college so I ate that up to. It was soon after RvB Season 15 and RWBY Volume 5 were finished that I stopped watching both shows and Rooster Teeth in general. Years after I would poke in occasionally and not recognize a majority of the staff and didn't like what they were putting out. Then all of the stuff with the company drama and allegations came out and stopped all together.

    Season 6 was my jumping on point aswell and I must say watching it again... ITS A SUPER UNDERRATED jumping on point. It was pure brilliance to focus on Washington as the sorta Feux-tagonist, you get this fish out of water perspective that just naturally integrates you into the Red vs Blue character dynamics gradually with every episode, really grounds you in the narrative with someone who is just as confused as to whats going on as you are. Honestly I think it might even be a better start point then season 1, atleast in terms of gauging your long term investment with the series. The Blood Gulch Chronicles is alot of fun, but its also very rough, and alot of the jokes have not aged... _the best..._ definetly alot of wincers.
    But I think if you watch season 6 and are genuinely enthralled by the characters then you shouldnt have any trouble going through what is essentially the origin story of the Sim troops, I definetly reccomend it that way personally, because I think MOST newcomers will bounce HARD trying to watch in pure release order.

      I do love witnessing Washington face the insanity of red's and blue's however Church dies in this season for good the alpha and doesn't come back.
      Relocated S7 is a better choice if you want to skip S1&5 for some reason. It has more of the craziness from old blood gulch even mirroring their battle with Valhalla.

    God, I remember when i got RvB season 1-5 on DVD for my birthday. Easily one of my favorite gifts in hindsight. Like, i didn't ever think about it that much, but I've rewatched those a lot.
    I was personally really big into RWBY for a while (i dropped off about season 7). I was exposed to anime at a very early age, I got into RvB during season 8 when I was in middle school, and everyone in my friend group was excited about RWBY. It seemed fascinating since it was marketed as the first real anime to come from the internet. RWBY is one of those shows like Steven Universe where you know its a fucking train wreck, but you can't look away and you have to know how it ends (plus the fandom is just as shitty as SU). It really is a "sunk cost fallacy" situation, my best friend is still locked into that show and she ardently defends RWBY despite all its flaws. For me: it eventually got to a point where I knew it was going to keep meandering for another 5 seasons and I just didn't care anymore at that point. It had 7 seasons to "get good" and it never did really. There's a lot of material in RWBY that had a lot of potential (I'm sure that RWBY has inspired a lot of future works, and allegedly Miles tossed out a lot of Monty's original ideas after his passing), but the show that we got is just fucking awful.
    Please go watch an actual anime like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood instead. I lost a little under a decade of my life following RWBY.
    EDIT: Honestly, now that i think about it: had they just ended RvB at season 10, Rooster Teeth could've poured all their resources into RWBY and made it an actual good show. Like, RWBY always had a horrible budget for most its run, and I'm sure it maybe could've faired better had they brought more writers onto the project. Instead, they kept milking RvB dry and inevitably spread their resources too thin. Like, maintaining both shows was probably an unfeasible task (especially considering how long RvB had been running for at that point). I'm sure fans would've been burned if RWBY had replaced RvB, but at least it would've ended on a high note and the fans (hopefully) would've gotten over it. And hey, that also would've given Rooster Teeth time to come up with fresh, new ideas for RvB. Though I suppose i'm being a bit too optimistic, most fandoms are utterly insane and can get pretty entitled. Its very likely as well that the fandom could've immediately turned on Rooster Teeth had RWBY replaced RvB. Perhaps RvB should've just returned entirely to the "Bloodgulch Chronicles" style of writing for another 5 seasons. That would've probably opened up a lot of resources for Monty's project, and it would've made the OG fans happy if RvB returned to the sitcom style of storytelling.

He should've deserved a good end similar to Church, only because he has a good character arc and has come a long way, at least from reason 1-8. He went from the lazy guy we know to a guy that was willing to stick it out for his friends. After that he was just the comic relief and a joke. When he went to save his friends in season 15, it didn't seem like the team was happy that he was there (except simmons of course) They could've done so much more like they did with Tucker where he could be a much more improved and great version of himself. That's been my big gripe with RvB since season 9.

      I found RvB season 9 hard to watch personally. The fact that half of it is a bunch of new characters who are all super serious and none of whom really stand out, a heavy emphasis on the CG animation whereas in season 8 it was pretty cleverly integrated, and the fact it just takes itself so seriously just lost me. At the very least I enjoyed the Church half of the season.
      The freelancers were the straight men of the setting in prior seasons, consisting of a bunch of cliches and such, and it worked because they provided contrast against the main cast. When you actually get down to it, the freelancers just aren't that interesting on their own. It's not funny enough to have the same appeal as prior RvB seasons, and it doesn't hold up on its own as a semi serious story.
