Remember when Felix was first introduced and he was so perfect everyone called him a Miles Luna Mary Sue? That was the point, he gets under your skin, that's his biggest power. "You won't find anyone else on this ship" Felix almost never lying and his friendly demeanor, his charm is one of the craziest things that make him amazing and different to other villains. He's a bard with maxed out charisma xD Lots of people thought Sharkface was the Meta when he first appeared. Arnold's realization and reaction was GLORIOUS. Arnold your reactions are gold
One of my favorite things about Felix is that he’s meta (Lol), he’s genre savy enough to know the archetype that people assume he is, and being fully aware of the sort of assumptions make about him using that to his advantage. He’s the dashing rogue/mercenary w/ a heart of gold tropes taken to their logical conclusions. He’s charismatic, witty and full of fun snark, but as someone that choses the life of a mercenary willingly, he’s also an asshole w/ zero regard for others or any sort of moral compass. But because both In-story, and outside the story, the characters and the audience see the trope, and assume “oh, he seems like a jerk that’s only in it for the money, but he probably cares deep down.” When in reality, nope, he’s actually just a piece of shit. And he knows. Felix weaponizes a story-telling convention that’s so incredibly prevalent in popular media, that people identify it on-sight, and automatically take it at face value. And it’s not even really an act, it’s all just a matter of him knowing how to play people, and how to spin his words. And it’s not just a subversion for the sake of it, but an intentional story beat that adds more dimension to the character than just, “I’m actually evil.” It doesn’t just reveal Felix as a villain, but elevates him to more than just a twist villain.
There's a line that Tucker says in season 5 that easily missable. He says that Wyoming and Gamma were going to use Junior to corrupt the Sangheili's religion from the inside. Gamma was the one who told Church that there was a prophecy of the Great Destroyer, but Gamma is the deceit. So the prophecy was a lie to get Crunchbite to have a child. So it's funny how that's coming back as a real thing this time
The prophecy is likely a real thing in the Sanghelli religion that PFL was going to exploit to take over their religion. The lie is in the details, PFL's "interpretation" of the prophecy that would make an Omega infected junior the Sanghelli messiah figure. Like in Halo canon though, the "Prophecy" is likely something more mundane - a set of instructions perhaps - that current day Sanhelli regard with religious reverence. And yes, I have seen the later seasons that puts another spin on the "prophecy". But that would be spoilers.
I do like what a good, honest upstanding guy felix is. He doesn't even lie! They sure didn't find anyone else on the ship, he said outright what he was gonna do and even let everyone off the ship! What a guy!
At first, I thought you were being sarcastic. But looking back, he actually did tell the truth most of the time. He just did it in such a way that made it look like he actually cared. Felix is a surprise twist villain done RIGHT!
One of my favorite things about Felix is what he said in season 12. He doesn't lie. When they ask if anyone else is with him he says "you won't FIND anyone else" He tells the crew straight "I'm gonna kill you and take your prisoners" "I'm not gonna kill you" "If this doesn't sound like your kinda Job, we'll let you off the ship" His ability to manipulate people without even having to lie to them is part of what makes him scary to me.
I really love how Sarge and Tucker became closer through them being the only Reds and Blues who actually want to fight the enemy whenever possible in this war. Other than Church/Epsilon and the Freelanchers, Sarge and Tucker have become the leaders of the Reds and Blues. I also like how their current friendship contrasts heavily with how the two of them were back in Bloodgulch, Tucker being the lazy one and the one who exclaimed that the Reds and Blues were the same, while Sarge was the workaholic who didn't work efficiently and who was obsessed with the Reds and Blues being enemies. Now, Tucker is one of the most pro-active ones and Sarge finally has a conduit through which he can canalize himself instead of barking at the wrong tree.
I feel like i need to say this. I first saw your channel because I was looking to watch someone react to this show again. I always skipped your pre and post discussions because I just wanted to see the reactions. But when I kept watching your reactions it made me love the show in a whole new light. I listened to you dissecting the characters and the plot even though I had already seen it before to the point that now I am always as excited when your reactions come out as much as I was seeing the actual episodes come out. So i just want to thank you for making me enjoy this show in a whole new way. You are by far not only my favourite reaction channel but one of my favourite channel period
i am so incredibly happy that Arnold is enough of a RvB nerd to have put together who Shark Face was in the FIRST EPISODE. i havnt seen *anyone* else do that in their reactions.
I think the reason Sharkface survived may have to do with his armor appearing to be stronger than the freelancers armor. We can see North Dakota and Maine’s armor easily penetrated in Season 9 but his seems to be completely bulletproof
and there's also how he was already unconscious when the building fell apart, meaning that his body wasn't tense and he thus suffered less damage. Oh, and he was also lucky, but that's a given in this specific case. It's just that luck alone probably wouldn't have been enough, hence the other factors of his survival being more relevant.
39:31 Grey's change in tone was meant to set up Dr Grey's backstory which would be explored further in a scrapped storyline where Kimball would find some of Grey's old audiologs from the early stages of the war and explaining what made her insane but the writers cut it for pacing
To be fair, the "Resistance" members are established to be pretty resilient. Remember robot arm guy? He survived, off the top of my head: -The Cryo Facility blowing up -Being at the epicenter of FILSS' main cannon shot -In one of the extras, I think it was revealed that he even survived losing both of his arms and being blasted into the sea by grenades
Not gonna lie; for YEARS I was convinced that the Fed soldier with red trim who wanted the big turret gun to carry around was voiced by Daithi de Nogla, I was SO disappointed when I learned it wasn't the case
Return of the King am I right xD Wooo Hargrove! Aiden! and now Sharkface. This season is the culmination of not only the Chorus Trilogy, but also Project Freelancer as a whole. Season 13 is an amazing finale to all these storylines, even bringing up loose ends. We've waited yeeeears for you to see this episode because it's one of the best first episodes to anything. This is gonna be gold.
It's really great to have you back reacting to these. I really love your analysis of these characters. As far as we know, Captain Flowers was shot by a stray bullet in the Finale of Season 5. We didn't really see Junior but Tucker has talked about him every now and then, like in Season 7, so he's probably out there somewhere.
@@aerialmacaroon6312 Yeah but I see season 16-17 as problematic. 17 tried to solve writing issues 16 had, but unfortunately there’s only so much they could do
SEASON 13!!! LET GOOOOOOOOOO!!! Episode 1 of season 13 is easily in my top 5 episodes of the entire show. After the dip in animation and choreography in season 12, the opener really makes an effort to show that theyve gotten back on their feet. The scene on the ship also is a perfect microcosm of Felix as a character. He's introduced as initially being a mystery, when the crew first meet him face to face, they're warry of him but are quickly won over by his incredible charisma. Then, after they've fully warmed up to him and give him information, he reveals his malicious side. And my favorite part throughout all of it is that he does not speak a single lie when with them (at least that we see). Also mad respect for figuring out Sharkface from that original scene. I honestly never even noticed the flaming hand tattoo before you pointed it out, and I've watched this episode maybe 40 times.
I have missed these. You are just as entertaining as ever. Love how you figured out that soldier in the first episode was Sharkface. When the episode first released, a bunch of people jumped the gun and said it was Agent Maine. They must have been so embarrassed afterwards.
i'm not gonna lie, i thought it was him too, because you'd have thought when time passed, he'd grow hair and it'd cover up the meta symbol, and these other tattoos were just something he got while he was just up and about doing fuck all whatever
To anyone who ever says Arnold missed something or didn't pay attention to something, keep in mind that he almost immediately identified Sharkface, a character who everyone up to that point had only ever seen in armour and probably assumed to be dead.
Man, it’s been six years since the first batch of reactions for RvB. I feel a lot better about any procrastinating I do now lmfao. Murder, I love ya, and all your RT centered content; and will gladly wait more weeks for your reactions. It just feels… I don’t know how to put it. This is a constant cycle. Whenever you post the next set, you best believe I’ll be there, no questions asked.
@@TeaTime574 Yeah, my best guess is he’s trying to keep things up on Patreon exclusive to those who have it. If the next batch isn’t ready, and he posts the one that’s up on Patreon, what do the ones that are paying for it get?
@@rgentum i mean he litterally started watching the season 8 months ago. if the second batch isnt ready by now then what the fuck has he been doing this whole time
i hope you get back to this series, its one of my all time favorite seasons besides season 10! i love your content and reactions and cant wait to see you finish the series.
@@christophervanoster I signed up for it a few months ago and immediately cancelled after a bit of scrolling. Things are just as dire over there and have been for a long time. There were months between posts iirc, and when you're paying monthly that ain't it, chief.
welp here we go again boys. in 2 days itll be 1 month since this was uploaded and 2 weeks since the next batch should have been up. bear in mind that the next batch is already fully edited and uploaded on patreon. there is no reason why it should be late on youtube. i think ive finally come to accept the sad truth that this channel is dead. nothing will ever change. i stuck around and held out hope that maybe next time would be different, and that arnold would deliver on his promises. but honestly looking back at the last 2-3 years i wonder why i was so optimistic. how i didn’t see this coming. for me, at least, all hype for this series has long been dead. and to see him talk about starting other series on the channel when rvb cant even get 2 uploads released on time is just an extra slap in the face. goodbye everyone, and to those of you who choose to stick around, good luck. you’re a lot more patient than me i wish you the best arnold. sorry for the rant. peace.
its the fact that its sitting in patrion already that kills me, why is it late if its already ready? that doesnt make any sense. and the adding another series is the nail in the coffin, if this is the rate of rvb rn, how bad is it gonna be with another series added on? especially since as weve seen, rvb is the lowest priority on the channel
@@TeaTime574 exactly. its always been like this, I supported the patreon for multiple years until i realized the constant breaks were never going away and my money ws just going down the drain with no return. there is NO excuse for him to not have this shit up when its been out and fully edited on patreon for a month
@@TeaTime574 We've seen this happen every time a new RWBY season comes out, so we already know what's going to go down. RvB is promised to be consistently uploaded while RWBY is on some sort of hiatus, RvB *is not* consistently uploaded with months between videos, RWBY comes back from Hiatus and Arnold starts consistently uploading the new RWBY content, forgetting all about RvB content he's sitting on. And the cycle repeats!
Others can interact with the other AI Fragments's memory-version through Epsilon. We've already seen it happen at least twice with Epsilon-Delta talking to the Reds and Blues.
Once again you prove that you're great at piecing things together! It took me forever to make that Sharkface connection and you made it in like a minute.
I just love the attention to detail in this season, how you can one of the merc’s standing behind the counselor when Felix had the gun right to his head, you can see him tensing up then relax as he lowers it
Season 13 is where I think the story is its best, second only to the freelancer saga. It's such a good series, and I love it to death. Found your reactions recently and I've been binging them. I'll stay subscribed for anything you do, and check out your other reactions
At 30:16 I think it was said the dancing Tucker was doing was inspired by Monty Oum’s moves, so it’s kind of an indirect direct mark he left on the series
“I hope I can keep my excitement and hype contained.” You want me to call the Foundation now or later? They specialize in containing that which is otherwise impossible to contain.
Ahhhh we’re here!!! My favourite season of the show 🥰 I still remember with such fondness watching these episodes for the first time, it was the first season I watched episode by episode as it aired in 2015, so satisfying and nostalgic to see you reacting to them now! Watching you put two and two together about Sharkface had me screaming and cheering along with you hahah. Super hyped for the rest of this season’s reactions!! ❤️
Epsilon-delta talked to the reds in season 8, & epsilon-Tex was strong enough to become a separate AI (though disappeared when church forgot her in season 9). It's certainly possible the epsilon fragments can exert themselves outside of epsilon mind, but no spoilers on if they do or not.
The first 4 episodes do a good job at setting up season 13's story, there's definitely something here for all, animation that hasnt been seen since seasons 9 and 10, bringing back pieces of the past and doing a good job at making them relevant, keeping new characters (Locus, Felix and so on) relevant as well and giving them their 15 minutes and topping it all off: the classic RvB shenanigans that stand the test of time I really enjoyed watching your reaction to the first 4 episodes, bloody impressed at how quickly you figured out the highlighted inmate was Sharkface of season 9 fame, it took me until later on to figure it out, I thought it was Maine at first and ended up feeling pretty stupid as a result Keep up the good work mate, I'm aware of the wait involved but I'm also aware of the time you put into your content, the Two balance each other out in a way, looking forward to what comes next and I know you will as well Take it easy and keep up the good work -Alpha X
Welcome back Arnold. Season 13 is to me where Red vs Blue truly ends. Other seasons were either ok or meh, it just never got better then this. And the ending of this season (not spoiling ) is absolutely perfect
Grif:"I got a date with crackers and a jar of cheese whiz" I now respect Grif on a higher level now. Mainly because of the cheese whiz that shit is awesome.
19:16 Murder to answer your question, this is the same series where a group of idiots took a 10 megaton bomb to the face and the worst that happen was that they lost track of time
Okay Arnold this is getting ridiculous. You say you’ll deliver content, and say you are back on track. Then you upload one video you made 2-3 months ago and disappear for 3 weeks. I get you have a personal life, but you’ve done this for almost 2 years. Can we get season 13 done already? I’m willing to wait but at the very least give us updates or clarifications or even a schedule. But we get nothing. I’m starting to agree with others on this
At least tell us how far you are in editing the reaction and discussion segments, or if you haven't even started editing it. Give up an update. Anything. Being left in the dark hurts more than being told how little progress there is.
After starting to watch your reactions years ago and then not touching RvB at all for years, I somehow managed to finally finish the first 13 seasons AND catch up with your reactions in time to see them come out live.
Blood Gultch? More like Resort Gultch. They got grass and a beach and a waterfall?! Also I can't believe the Doctor is Blake's VA that's really really impressive
i think they gave him the Donut treatment. Donut always "dies" but its a video game so he respawns. of course, not everyone respawns but thats the amazing thing about the show. it doesnt have to make sense. also, his face really does kinda look like a shark
the last time we saw Junior was at the end of Season 5, with him and Cruchbite (I think it's him) on the pelican, where Shela, Tex, Omega, Gama, Tucker Sword and Wyoming's helmet were also connected to the system, and in Season 6 on recording Tex asks "where are they going?" indicating that they likely jumped before the pelican's fall, Season 7 Tucker mentions something of him and junior being ambassadors, as they are between the 2 species. about the prophecy of the great destroyer, the prophecy is pretty inconsistent every time "Garry" talks about it, and then we know he probably lied about a lot of things. Crushbite I believe survived, or it would be weird for another alien to randomly appear, revive Captain Flowers, and use Andy to translate their conversation. Captain Flowers took dramatic pauses while talking to Tucker and ended up taking a Sniper Shot to the head. and now that the sword is back on topic, just a reminder, from what I understand from Season 5, the sword only works with Tucker and Junior because he's his son, so it hinted at the villains' plans in Season 5.
WHEN I GOT THE NOTIFICATION FOR THIS, I GOT SO HYPED!!! I HAVE WATCHED YOUR REACTIONS SO MANY TIMES BECAUSE OF YOUR LOVE FOR THIS SERIES!! MUCH LOVE AND THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY DAY
I honestly like how the ship is named 'Tartarus' after the titan prison in Greek Mythology, and I think that Sharkface is the titan. Also i started laughing when you were saying 'Firmly Grasp it!' 😂😂. Great reaction man
Just leaving this here - the human body is much more flexible and much more likely to survive catastrophic events when unconscious. We've had real world reports of people being knocked out and carried miles away by hurricanes to survive with only minor injuries since they were unconscious at the time and much more limber. Maybe surviving a building being dropped on you is more likely when you've been knocked out cold first.
Ah, how I have missed that "RIP Headphone Users" scream of joy and excitement. Also, Sharkface is the best villain that was misused in the entire Chorus Trilogy
Here's an idea for a solution to your problem: Stop the editing and upload the raw discussion regardless of how long the videos end up being. It will still be MUCH better than no video for months.
"IS THAT CHURCH?" (sad confetti sounds) Red Vs Blue in a nutshell. I love how they keep milking that joke even after retconning it so Church was the team-killing youknowwhat.
Please keep going on this brother. RWBY managed to hurt your heart, you don't even know what's coming with this season of RvB lol. I'll wait until you're ready. Hope you love this season!

So when are we getting the next part? i thought the parteon upload was only 2 weeks in advance and it's been far longer than that
"Locus is the cloak and felux is the dagger" i don't know how I've never realized that but that is awesome
i hope you get back to this series, its one of my all time favorite seasons besides season 10! i love your content and reactions and cant wait to see you finish the series.
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO
IT'S FINALLY TIME. SEASON 13 IS A RIDE AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY
Finishing his RvB reactions
Arnold: I sleep
A single screenshot of RWBY V9 gets released
Arnold: REAL SHIT
I know right? It’s like he just wants to milk the patreon at this point. Glad I never signed up for it
@@christophervanoster doesn't help that he streams Genshin Impact almost all the fucking time too
@@christophervanoster I signed up for it a few months ago and immediately cancelled after a bit of scrolling. Things are just as dire over there and have been for a long time. There were months between posts iirc, and when you're paying monthly that ain't it, chief.
And again he instantly posts about the smallest tidbit of rwby news but we’re here 12 days later and still no rvb. This is outrageous
@@christophervanoster bro 12 days? almost one and a half months
I forgot how good the faces where animated in this seaosn
welp here we go again boys. in 2 days itll be 1 month since this was uploaded and 2 weeks since the next batch should have been up. bear in mind that the next batch is already fully edited and uploaded on patreon. there is no reason why it should be late on youtube. i think ive finally come to accept the sad truth that this channel is dead. nothing will ever change. i stuck around and held out hope that maybe next time would be different, and that arnold would deliver on his promises. but honestly looking back at the last 2-3 years i wonder why i was so optimistic. how i didn’t see this coming. for me, at least, all hype for this series has long been dead. and to see him talk about starting other series on the channel when rvb cant even get 2 uploads released on time is just an extra slap in the face. goodbye everyone, and to those of you who choose to stick around, good luck. you’re a lot more patient than me
i wish you the best arnold. sorry for the rant.
peace.
I feel the exact same way. I was so happy when I saw the new upload and have checked back almost every single day just to be met with disappointment
its the fact that its sitting in patrion already that kills me, why is it late if its already ready? that doesnt make any sense. and the adding another series is the nail in the coffin, if this is the rate of rvb rn, how bad is it gonna be with another series added on? especially since as weve seen, rvb is the lowest priority on the channel
@@TeaTime574 exactly. its always been like this, I supported the patreon for multiple years until i realized the constant breaks were never going away and my money ws just going down the drain with no return. there is NO excuse for him to not have this shit up when its been out and fully edited on patreon for a month
@@TeaTime574 We've seen this happen every time a new RWBY season comes out, so we already know what's going to go down. RvB is promised to be consistently uploaded while RWBY is on some sort of hiatus, RvB *is not* consistently uploaded with months between videos, RWBY comes back from Hiatus and Arnold starts consistently uploading the new RWBY content, forgetting all about RvB content he's sitting on.
And the cycle repeats!
@@qrowing nailed it. dont know how he expects to be able to add more shows to the schedule if he cant handle that much but oh well
Others can interact with the other AI Fragments's memory-version through Epsilon. We've already seen it happen at least twice with Epsilon-Delta talking to the Reds and Blues.
Once again you prove that you're great at piecing things together! It took me forever to make that Sharkface connection and you made it in like a minute.
I’ll give him credit, he figured out it was shark face in the first episode. Took me five to figure it out.
... Dude.
Arnold putting 2 and 2 together for Sharkface was a delight.
Arnold's dawning realization over the prisoner's identity may be the best thing I've seen all week.
I just love the attention to detail in this season, how you can one of the merc’s standing behind the counselor when Felix had the gun right to his head, you can see him tensing up then relax as he lowers it
Reminder that back in Season, 3 or 4? When Church went back into the past, we see Tucker wearing BLUE ARMOR
DEAR GOD, YOU'RE RIGHT!
seeing Arnold piece together that Sharkface survived had me smiling the hardest i have in months
Season 13 is where I think the story is its best, second only to the freelancer saga. It's such a good series, and I love it to death. Found your reactions recently and I've been binging them.
I'll stay subscribed for anything you do, and check out your other reactions
I almost didn’t expect you to realize it was SharkFace. Your memory is unreal.
Memory is the key ;)
This is by far, my favorite season of Red vs Blue. I can't wait to see you journey through this season!
At 30:16 I think it was said the dancing Tucker was doing was inspired by Monty Oum’s moves, so it’s kind of an indirect direct mark he left on the series
“I hope I can keep my excitement and hype contained.” You want me to call the Foundation now or later? They specialize in containing that which is otherwise impossible to contain.
BTW, there’s a RWBY reference in Episode 10 of S13! It’s during the scene with Malcom in his personal room!
God damn you figured out shark face a lot faster than I thought lol I didn't until further on in the season
Ahhhh we’re here!!! My favourite season of the show 🥰 I still remember with such fondness watching these episodes for the first time, it was the first season I watched episode by episode as it aired in 2015, so satisfying and nostalgic to see you reacting to them now! Watching you put two and two together about Sharkface had me screaming and cheering along with you hahah. Super hyped for the rest of this season’s reactions!! ❤️
I'm so excited!!! I've been waiting for your reactions to Season 13 ever since you started your reactions way back in Season 1! I hope you enjoy it!
I knew I just knew that you'd figure out Shark Face the minute he appeared. Honestly I am so jealous of your ability to do this lol
Man Season 13, what a blast from the past.
This was what I believed was the perfect final season of the series.
I saw your gears turning from 18:09 to 18:17 lol
Epsilon-delta talked to the reds in season 8, & epsilon-Tex was strong enough to become a separate AI (though disappeared when church forgot her in season 9). It's certainly possible the epsilon fragments can exert themselves outside of epsilon mind, but no spoilers on if they do or not.
The first 4 episodes do a good job at setting up season 13's story, there's definitely something here for all, animation that hasnt been seen since seasons 9 and 10, bringing back pieces of the past and doing a good job at making them relevant, keeping new characters (Locus, Felix and so on) relevant as well and giving them their 15 minutes and topping it all off: the classic RvB shenanigans that stand the test of time
I really enjoyed watching your reaction to the first 4 episodes, bloody impressed at how quickly you figured out the highlighted inmate was Sharkface of season 9 fame, it took me until later on to figure it out, I thought it was Maine at first and ended up feeling pretty stupid as a result
Keep up the good work mate, I'm aware of the wait involved but I'm also aware of the time you put into your content, the Two balance each other out in a way, looking forward to what comes next and I know you will as well
Take it easy and keep up the good work

“That dick is about to come back to bite you.”
MurderofBirds, 2022(or 2021, depending on when this was recorded)
I’m so excited for his reactions to this season, huge, exciting and breathtaking moments to come
Welcome back Arnold. Season 13 is to me where Red vs Blue truly ends. Other seasons were either ok or meh, it just never got better then this. And the ending of this season (not spoiling ) is absolutely perfect
IDK man, 14 was also good
@@thatsmuggamer 14 is extra, not bad but not necessary
You always come through for me Arnold, 5 seconds flat on recognizing shark face
Y'know, I forgot just how much FUN it is to watch Arnold react to and theorize with Red vs Blue. It's a highlight of any day!
Grif:"I got a date with crackers and a jar of cheese whiz"
I now respect Grif on a higher level now. Mainly because of the cheese whiz that shit is awesome.
There are ALOT of things this season I can’t wait to see your reaction to. So hype to be getting into this.
God, I loved the score for this season. So glad to see you react to 13.
19:16 Murder to answer your question, this is the same series where a group of idiots took a 10 megaton bomb to the face and the worst that happen was that they lost track of time
I also like when he sees Sharkface, he says "This guy!". Which is the name of Sharkface's theme song.
Okay Arnold this is getting ridiculous. You say you’ll deliver content, and say you are back on track. Then you upload one video you made 2-3 months ago and disappear for 3 weeks. I get you have a personal life, but you’ve done this for almost 2 years. Can we get season 13 done already? I’m willing to wait but at the very least give us updates or clarifications or even a schedule. But we get nothing. I’m starting to agree with others on this
at this point i just expect one upload with a minimum of 6 month break. that’s basically the norm now
@@cosanchez124 yeah same here, I j just check like once every 3 months
At least tell us how far you are in editing the reaction and discussion segments, or if you haven't even started editing it.
Give up an update. Anything.
Being left in the dark hurts more than being told how little progress there is.
Epic man! Season 13's pilot was the first RvB episode I ever watched
Case in-point: you’re in for one hell of an Endgame
This is without a doubt my absolute favorite season of Red vs Blue ever! Of all time!
After starting to watch your reactions years ago and then not touching RvB at all for years, I somehow managed to finally finish the first 13 seasons AND catch up with your reactions in time to see them come out live.
Because he’s posted about 2 per year.
Yess finally we can finish the chorus trilogy!!! The best ending to red vs blue I've been waiting so long
I like how he found out that was shark face right off the bat while it took me until they showed his armor.
Just woke up a little bit ago and checked my phone and this beauty pops up. LETS F**KING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I died when Arnold just pulled up the past episode from Season 9.
Welcome back Murder, it’s good to see your here
The gears slowly shifting in Arnold's head is funny!!!
Blood Gultch? More like Resort Gultch. They got grass and a beach and a waterfall?!
Also I can't believe the Doctor is Blake's VA that's really really impressive
i think they gave him the Donut treatment. Donut always "dies" but its a video game so he respawns. of course, not everyone respawns but thats the amazing thing about the show. it doesnt have to make sense. also, his face really does kinda look like a shark
The beginning of season 13 is my favorite episode in the series.
the last time we saw Junior was at the end of Season 5, with him and Cruchbite (I think it's him) on the pelican, where Shela, Tex, Omega, Gama, Tucker Sword and Wyoming's helmet were also connected to the system, and in Season 6 on recording Tex asks "where are they going?" indicating that they likely jumped before the pelican's fall, Season 7 Tucker mentions something of him and junior being ambassadors, as they are between the 2 species.
about the prophecy of the great destroyer, the prophecy is pretty inconsistent every time "Garry" talks about it, and then we know he probably lied about a lot of things.
Crushbite I believe survived, or it would be weird for another alien to randomly appear, revive Captain Flowers, and use Andy to translate their conversation.
Captain Flowers took dramatic pauses while talking to Tucker and ended up taking a Sniper Shot to the head.
and now that the sword is back on topic, just a reminder, from what I understand from Season 5, the sword only works with Tucker and Junior because he's his son, so it hinted at the villains' plans in Season 5.
WHEN I GOT THE NOTIFICATION FOR THIS, I GOT SO HYPED!!! I HAVE WATCHED YOUR REACTIONS SO MANY TIMES BECAUSE OF YOUR LOVE FOR THIS SERIES!! MUCH LOVE AND THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY DAY
Glad to finally see your reaction and thoughts to season 13.
Your realization of Sharkface is the most satisfying thing I have ever seen.
Dood, I have been waiting for a long minute for you to get to this season. So excited!
I honestly like how the ship is named 'Tartarus' after the titan prison in Greek Mythology, and I think that Sharkface is the titan. Also i started laughing when you were saying 'Firmly Grasp it!' 😂😂. Great reaction man
Just leaving this here - the human body is much more flexible and much more likely to survive catastrophic events when unconscious. We've had real world reports of people being knocked out and carried miles away by hurricanes to survive with only minor injuries since they were unconscious at the time and much more limber. Maybe surviving a building being dropped on you is more likely when you've been knocked out cold first.
HOLY CRAP! I was so not expecting this release today!! So excited!
Ah, how I have missed that "RIP Headphone Users" scream of joy and excitement.
Also, Sharkface is the best villain that was misused in the entire Chorus Trilogy
Uploaded this right as I went to work let’s goooo I got something to listen to
I was so excited to see how you'd react to the prison ship scenes.
I was not disappointed, keep it up man! Love your reactions!
thanks for reacting man I've been waiting years
Here's an idea for a solution to your problem:
Stop the editing and upload the raw discussion regardless of how long the videos end up being.
It will still be MUCH better than no video for months.
"IS THAT CHURCH?"
(sad confetti sounds)
Red Vs Blue in a nutshell. I love how they keep milking that joke even after retconning it so Church was the team-killing youknowwhat.
Please keep going on this brother. RWBY managed to hurt your heart, you don't even know what's coming with this season of RvB lol. I'll wait until you're ready. Hope you love this season!
Thank you for giving me something to look forward to watching after work and making my day : )
I just finished catching up to your reactions like a week ago, I'm quite surprised that my timing was so good
Now that you say all that, I'm guessing it's because of his armor, which, if you may recall, is bulletproof and likely building-proof
