To me it went downhill the moment it started taking itself too seriously. The freelancer plot should have been a background for the comedy, not the main event. It's not even that it stopped being funny to me, there was barely any comedy as it went on. Sad as I consider the first few seasons some of the best comedic content the internet has ever produced, vidya or otherwise.

>>94255325

The Reconstruction or whatever it was called.

>>94255325
I genuinely don't think it's bad.

It definitely changed after season five, but the only season I outright don't like is nine, which went full fanfiction OC territory.

There was a pretty solid upturn in quality with the Chorus Trilogy.

>>94255483
This sums it up nicely

>>94255483
>Sad as I consider the first few seasons some of the best comedic content the internet has ever produced, vidya or otherwis
Jesus, fucking this. BGC is one of the smartet comedies out there in the sense that everything play out. No joke felt forced. The episode when Church realise everything was his own fault (even his death) was the funiest moment in the series.

>>94255325
Whenever it tries to
1) make us give a shit about people that aren't in the Blood Gulch crew, or inducted into it
2) starts trying to take itself seriously.

This season is a pretty good exemplar of it.
Whenever the reporter gets the focus, it's like somebody took comedy out back and shot it, but the crew can still be relatively entertaining.

>>94255325
season 5 is arguably the worst blood gulch season so they kind of needed a revamp, that sad, it all goes quickly downhill after season 6. The reveal was well done, and surprisingly touching for a machinima but then, for whatever reason, RT decided to go down the Digital Ph33r route and make a stupid funny series serious and the show suffers for it, particularly when the new staff are just appalling writers (see RWBY).

it would have been fine as a short mini-series but they really did not need to eat up two seasons

>>94255733
The Freelancers are the only characters I actually don't like for the most part. I still barely consider Wash part of the 'main cast,' even though that nigger's been around since, like, what? Season 6?

Also he just got shot in the head in the latest episode.

>>94255733
Depends.
Do you like York and Wash desperately trying to save it, or the Donut Steele parts?

>>94255663
It's incredible how well the BGC holds up. Not only is it good enough that non-Halo fans can enjoy it but the fundamental basics of multiplayer gaming have changed so little jokes relating to that still land. I know this is a dumb comparison to make but RvB is pretty much the internet's Simpsons. Classic for the first while, but then a clear drop in quality starts to show.

Like said before, it got too serious. The last season I liked was the one where the Meta died, and even then you could see some problems with the plot over complicating itself.

>>94255811
I think York and wash were the best freelancer characters the rest were just meh. I ment season 9&10

>>94255851
Carolina is okay when she had Church to bounce off of. Super shit before that, and kind of mediocre right now.

Is Church still death?

>>94255940
Yeah, but there's an evil Church now named Temple.

>>94255940
Church has been dead since that season he found out he was an AI.

>>94255802
He got shot in the NECK, that's different than the head.

>>94255325
I agree with >>94255375
To me, I didn't mind when it got more serious in season 6. Season 7 was pretty bad, but season 8 was the last truly good season with an even mix of comedy and seriousness.
Seeing the Reds and Blues take on the fucking Meta was actually cool, since it was an underdog battle. The only fights we get for the rest of the series are Freelancers kicking everyone's shit in, minus when Wash and Carolina fought Locus and Felix and minus when the Reds and Blues fought Felix, which was pretty fucking lame compared to the Meta fight.

After season 8 it stopped being Red vs Blue and began being Freelancer fight hour with some Red and Blue comedic relief from time to time, and stayed that way. Season 11 may be an exception, but even then it's humor doesn't hold up to Blood Gulch Chronicles at all.

That said, I'm still "enjoying" season 15. It's not as good as 6-8 and nowhere near as good as 1-5, but I've gotten more laughs from it than the Chorus Saga, and the villain is actually a bit interesting.

I'm glad they brought Locus back. He's not a bad character.

>>94255325
Can we talk about machinima in general?
I remember fondly some of the stuff from my WoW years (Baron Soosdon, some stuff by Olibith). I've been at a machinima screening once in a museum (quite randomly, I didn't knew it was happening and just saw in on a schedule when I went to the museum). It had several parts, and one of them was "experimental" machinima, as if the whole genre was not experimental enough...

Jesus... either the new Halo games have shit graphics or RT really gutted the CG budget

>>94256083
>What REALLY went wrong?
Rooster Teeth didn't fold before they could ruin RvB and create RWBY.

>>94255325
When they tried to have a serious storyline instead of a slaptick comedy Machinima with saturday-morning cartoon tier villains like O'Malley and Wyoming.

Actually you know what? That wasn't the issue. Reconstruction through Relocated were great and they were pretty serious, though admittedly with more comedy than later seasons. Revelations was where it went wrong. That's when they started relying on the special effects to the point where it took up half the episode runtimes. But special effects aren't solely to blame; no, I just think the writing has gone down hill.

Roosterteeth isn't some friends screwing around anymore, it has become a multimedia enterprise. It doesn't have the same heart it once did.

Also, to sum it up, basically,

>>94256149
Both, my dude. Both.

>>94256140
Does RvB even attempt to be in the same universe as Halo anymore? I know back during BGC it was meant to take place between Halo 1 and 2.

>>94256172
The writing went down when miles started writing

>>94256149
Well the art style for the 343 games really isn't too hot, and combine that with the fact that Halo sadly isn't as popular or well recieved as it once was, and you've got yourself a clear lack of interest to really keep this series going.

>>94256191
>1-4 > 5-6 > 8 >>> 7 = 9-14

I disagree with this. There was a genuine upswing in quality after season 9. Season 9 was just atrocious. 10 was still carrying some of its baggage, and 11-13 did its own thing.

14 I don't think you can even rank, since it's an anthology.

OP here. Why the fuck not, this can be a machinima bread too if you guys want.

>>94256240
I disagree, 8 is infinitely better than 10. 10 just continued the Freelancer shit, and it's finale didn't even come close to a battle with the Meta.
A big old slug out with a bunch of Tex clones who can't actually fight? It just felt lame.
Carolina is also a pretty annoying character, so that might affect the way I see season 10 as such a downgrade. Being better than 9 isn't saying much.

And true about 14, but en large the episodes were bad, with a few gems like Caboose's guide to making friends.

>>94256326
>>94256376
Caboose > Sarge > Grif > Lopez > Simmons
Also I like how you need to specify BGC Donut, what a mess he's become. I don't think people would mind him being written off the show since all he does is sometimes stand there and sometimes not.

>>94256413
I could have sworn there was a joke about how he ends up with a hot wife and a bunch of kids, but I could have just imagined that.

It sounds like something early RvB would do.

>>94256449
10 was better simply from the fact that it had way more of the Blood Gulch Crew in focus. I agree it had baggage from the Freelancer stuff, but it was superior simply because it at least focused on characters people actually liked.

>>94256149
>either the new Halo games have shit graphics or RT really gutted the CG budget

Yes.

>>94256073
I remember Chronicols of the Annoying Quest. It felt like RvB. Wonder what happen to it.

>>94256083
why can't we just call them both what they are
dogshit

>>94256457
You're right on both counts, it was one of the alternate season 5 endings.

>>94256500
More of the Blood Gulch Crew in focus than 8??
8 was basically entirely comprised of the Blood Gulch Crew minus Wash, the Meta and some aliens.

>>94256191
I think everything after 6 was redundant. 6 was a "serious" take on it and a good end to the series. * could've been a decent end too. 10 would have sufficed as well. Why the fuck are there 15 seasons.

>>94255325
I liked everything up until Season 14 and even I think the newest season is actually getting close to jumping the shark.
>tfw a wooden stake can pierce super soldier armor if you throw it hard enough

>>94256530
I don't think I said it was better than season 8 though? Just better than season 9.

>>94256449
>Also I like how you need to specify BGC Donut, what a mess he's become. I don't think people would mind him being written off the show since all he does is sometimes stand there and sometimes not.
Yeah. I know how people like to point to Caboose as an example of flanderisation because of how he started as dim-witted and became completely retarded after a few seasons (not that this was a negative change) but holy shit Donut became such a worthless one note character after he was brought back (needlessly) compared to how he was. To make matters worse his VA now uses the annoying gay voice at all times instead of just specifically for comedic effect, making him grating to listen to

>>94256587
It jumped the shark with S9
10 onwards has been a battle to reclaim it, the first half of 15 backslid dangerously, but it might be getting on track now.

>>94256587
That doesn't bother me. In season 1 a super soldier was beaten to death with his own skull
>inb4 this was retconned, fuck that shit

>>94256601
Caboose was flanderized by like, six episodes in. Does that really count? It feels more like they didn't know what they wanted to do with him at first.

>>94256648
Eh, I still think his biggest change was from the season 2 finale to the season 3 premiere, although that may be mainly because of Joel's performance

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YrfyeurqnI

At least they recognized Carolina was annoying.

>>94256630
The difference being that was played for laughs while the wooden stake is meant to be taken entirely seriously and is the core motivation for the antagonist of the season.

>>94256621
I'll defend The Chorus Trilogy but yeah I skip season 9, there just isn't enough there.

>>94256682
York deserved better

>>94256648
I think RvB is one of the only times flanderization really wasn't that big a problem. It's miniscule compared to all the other ones ot has and the show still managed to be funny despite it.

I think 8 was a bit too fun to end prior, but it wouldn't have made a great ending.

>Why the fuck are there 15 seasons

>>94256590
My mistake, you said you disagreed with my ranking so I thought you were saying 10 was a better season than 8.
I'll admit 10 is better than 9 but 10 is still shit.

>>94256601
Honestly Caboose has had some of the better "character development" out of the BGC the past few seasons, along with Grif.

Also yeah, I recall him only having a flamboyant voice at certain times. Now it's whenever he talks.

>>94256723
I did like how Season 7 and season 8 were subtly building up an arc where Sarge and Grif learned to like each other, with Grif even being the one concerned for Sarge instead of Simmons in this scene

>>94256723
Can anyone match Sarge's one liners?

>>94256711

There's at least a fan theory supporting a justification for it. That being Caboose didn't get retarded until his head was turned into an A.I playground.

>>94256682
As much as I really hate Carolina, her theme (forgot where it plays specifically) was actually breddy grate imho.

>>94256723
The Puma line during the Meta battle in season 8 was a top tier quip. I don't think anything in the show has been able to top it.

>>94256872
I think the in setting explanation is that his helmet sealed when church went into his head, and he got brain damage from oxygen deprivation

>>94256912
At this point they make a running gag out of "justifying" why Caboose is the way he is. I think the most-recent is that Tucker said that a can of gasoline was lemonade and it took several years to tell Caboose that he was joking.

>>94256878
The music in seasons 9 and 10 was so fucking weird, and I'm always torn about it.

On one level, I can recognize it's well produced, high quality stuff, but on another, it's fucking heavy metal and rap music done for a machinima cartoon with middling original animation. If you could sonically create cringe, that reach borderline territory right there.

>lets trade comedy for drama, that's always worked for comedy series and in no way will be a detriment to our series as we start taking everything way, WAY too seriously

Another other show lose it's shit on the way to stand out like that?
I see it happen all the time with webcomics but shows and stuff, most don't last long enough for that to become an issue.

Yep, and Sarge made some big leeway in mellowing out and helping the Blues.
Then we get Season 11 and he goes back to being a lunatic.
Actually, I can agree season 10 was as good an end as we could get.

>>94256844
"You just got--.. ah, damnit, messed up the one liner!"

>>94256901
I agree. Sarge's speech starting with "Why are we here" was pretty smart too.

As said before, the Meta battle is the highlight of the action in the series. The Reds and Blues are the underdogs in the fight, which makes it far more entertaining to watch than Freelancers doing kung fu, and the Meta had been a problem since season 6.

I kinda like that they're trying to push Tucker into being the new main character. It's neat that they're at least trying to help let him grow and improve.

It's not like they can do anything left with Church.

So was church in a robot body during BGC or was he just possessing someone

>>94256073
I remember some pretty good (well, I remember it as being good) halo machinima besides RvB. Spriggs stands out in my head

>>94257133
According to Season 14, he was a robot possessing a suit of armor that had a dead guy in it.

>>94257155
Oh fuck I remember Spriggs. I also liked Phil and, though it probably goes without saying, Arby n the Chief

>>94257133
Up until he died in season 1, he was in the body of a friend from Sidewinder.

>>94257133
Private Jimmy got lobotomized, and Church got implanted into his body and made to believe it was his

>>94257185
Arby n the Chief was my first exposure to "content creator who never learns to turn off the salt."

I wonder if any of the episodes are still watchable.

What a fucking stupid plotline. I hate that the newer seasons can't just settle for being edgy and serious themselves, they also have to retcon every single little things from the earlier seasons and bring them into line too

>>94257251
The way it was handled though wasn't really edgy, it was kind of a joke.

>>94257251
It's a pity, because the episode until then was prime Sarge

>>94257251
>>94257264
It was just a few episodes about Captain Flowers setting up Blood Gulch Outpost #1, other than revealing he's a sociopath it was basically all jokes.

>>94257264
It retcons the OG 'that doesn't seem physically possible' joke, that's my main point of contention. Like how they changed the fun time travel shenanigans to being 'Gamma was torturing Church with fake scenarios'

>>94257279
That was one of the few season 14 episodes I liked

Went on too long.

Got too serious, which necessitated relegating Red, which was a much stronger cast, to the background.

Those two are about it.

>>94257371
Season 14 was a rollercoaster of quality, and then for some reason they decided to let the Lego guy write season 15 even though his episodes was one of the worst.

>>94255325
Tex should have been the only Freelancer in the main cast. She was the perfect straight man to the rest of the cast. Now they show tries to tell some serious story and treats the comedy second.

>>94257411
Season 15 hasn't been particularly bad, I don't think.

The only thing I have a problem with is that the plot kind of feels like it's spinning its wheels. Like, seasons 11-13 were building up the Reds and Blues to be heroes, which okay, sure, but now this next arc has them framed as villains, and now they gotta clear their names.

It just seems like they're throwing ideas at the wall to keep the story going.

>>94257486
The constant meta jokes and pop culture references are starting to get unbearable. That terrible Jax character definitely needs to go since he's the cause of a lot of it, being a self insert for the film nerd writer

>>94257540
Church and Felix were both self-inserts and they were both fine, I think it just fits the "spinning the wheels" criticism of this writer only doing it because he can justify it with tradition.

Also I've completely forgotten why the fuck reporters are in this season. They were a framing device and then stopped mattering.

>>94257486
The start was pretty painful.
The reporter bit was so fucking boring, and the twist was blatantly obvious. The only saving grace was the set up for the lawyer joke.

>>94257944
They brought him back after killing him off but removed all facets of his character except 'gay jokes' and know he only exists to stand in the background and make gay innuendos in an annoying camp voice. He pretty much doesn't even have conversations with other characters anymore

>>94257759
>Tucker owns child support
So he is black

>>94257987
That sucks but I guess it was something inevitable. RIP Donut.
Some of my favorite stuff in all of RvB is still him and headlight fluid.

At this point is Red Team solely Sarge/Grif/Simmons? The way people talk about recent seasons make it seem that way while Lopez and Donuts just show up every once in a while.

>>94258046
The Reds have been pretty much relegated to background characters since the end of Blood Gulch.

Granted, Grif's gotten some okay stuff this season.

>>94255325
idk

but i watched all my classic 1-5 dvds in the last month. makes me sad really, they had a huge following in the beginning. i can still remember meeting them at a con back in 2005, it was comfy watching all the episodes leading up to season 3 with them and others.

>>94258046
>At this point is Red Team solely Sarge/Grif/Simmons? The way people talk about recent seasons make it seem that way while Lopez and Donuts just show up every once in a while.
Yes, Lopez and Donut should've honestly stayed killed off after Recreation because they don't do anything anymore and no longer have proper chemistry with Red team

>>94258099

lol don't feel bad at all for these guys. Most of the original people behind RvB are making six figures, if not are already millionaires. Rooster Teeth was an internet start up that actually took off.

>>94258178
RT is the prime example of how E-Celebs should operate if they want to stay relevant and successful; They made sure to trial run their new content before ending their main draw, and branched out as much as they reasonably could.
Say what you will about their content, but compare RT to the likes of TGWTG and the difference is staggering.

>>94257944
If its any consolation, they remembered he's good with grenades and he gets his moments during fight scenes. He's at least leveled up enough where he can OHKO three enemy units with a single throw.

2 hasn't been confirmed for back compat on the One yet, but considering how popular it was and how the last few people staying on the servers before they shut down went down as legends in the Halo community, 2 would be an obvious choice for a title to go BC. Especially since MCC's 2 version of the Vista port feels weird to play.

>>94258503

>>94256027
Is this a reference to the "i think irony would be our guns shooting bubbles" line?

>>94258523
The only title they've confirmed so far is Crimson Skies. That said, there's obviously more on the way and seeing Halo 2 wouldn't be a surprise at all.

>>94258322
They basically all live in mansions and I think Burnie has a Tesla. There is literally no way to consider them anything but a success regardless of how you like them or not. Gavin was lowballed on some estimate website as being worth 5 million and he was frankly insulted, and Geoff was like "Aren't you paying off a second house?"

Let that burn into your brains, a bunch of drunk loser friends with Halo now all own mansions and shit.

Post season 1 was shit. Should have stay with pure comedy.

>>94259787
I don't think you can say you liked it at all if the only thing you found quality to be the first season. There are still at least four others cut from exactly the same cloth.

>>94255325
I wish RvB went back to being purely comedy. It's not that RT can't be funny anymore, I think Camp Camp is a great show that shows they still got comedy. And whenever RvB isn't on a CRAWWWWWLING plot it can be genuinely enjoyable. It just needs some focus is all imho.

>>94259787
>>94259849
Season 11 was basically all jokes except for the last episode and like, one speech from Wash. I assumed Season 15 was going to go back to that, like it was using a breather season to ease us back into shit. But I guess they consider Season 14 the breather.

This probably has no real meaning, but did you watch the original original episodes or the remastered ones that use the modern recording software? That might have had an impact on your enjoyment since yeah from a visual perspective the first few seasons didn't age well.

>>94258322
They're like the exact opposite of the creatures who justed slowly crashed and burned. Cow Chop is good though

>>94257105
But he died so you have to like it.

>>94256027
Did he died?

>>94256083
The general being a shit

>>94260284
Are the remastered ones on Netflix? I remember watching a few episodes again months ago and thinking it was fine.

Didn't think this show actually had a plot...

>>94263221
Was there a crosshair in the middle of the screen at all times? Was there insane letterboxing? If the answer to both of those was no, you saw the remaster. Either way, I'm pretty sure the remaster is on Netflix.

It went on for way to long, it should've died.

Yeah, I think pretty much all of the Halo Reach seasons were not my bag. Freelancer Saga was a dark era.

>>94257329
No, Gamma torturing Church was before the show began. All the time travel stuff was the result of Wyoming's equipment, while the stuff with Church being sent to the past and the Red's being sent to the future was apparently Scenario Three of possible events freelancers would take part in with the Sim troopers.

>>94255483
This. The cast became caricatures of their former selves, and most of the humor felt completely out of place with the tone of the later seasons. I stopped at season 10, so I don't know how far down the rabbit hole this goes, but project freelancer should've been a spin-off, and that's it. I enjoyed the story, but the comedy suffered because of it

>>94255325
What went wrong? You formed an opinion, that's what went wrong.

>>94267794
The Chorus Trilogy I think ranks at around seasons 6-8 in quality. Still trying to get a feel for the next season and the new director, though.

>>94267986
I'll take your word for it. I saw one episode with 2 dudes in TellTale aesthetics shooting down guards at a club. It was nice, but the series feels so disjointed from what it used to be. It's not like I can't appreciate them trying something new, but the foundation seems to have cracked

>>94268084
you can only appreciate that telltale episode if you know what those two dudes get up to in the Chorus trilogy

>>94255325
Seasons 1-8 were all pretty fantastic in their own way. 9 and 10 were kind of shit, especially the Freelancer shit. 11 was good, 12 was meh, 13 was ass, 14 was interesting and 15 so far has been dire.

>>94259710
To be fair, Gavin is probably the most qualified in the group, and it's clear he constantly hides his powerlevel to keep up appearances.

>>94270883
Gavin is literally living the dream. To the point RT didn't hire him for as long as they did because Bernie was convinced he'd be wasting his talents with them. One could argue he's correct.

While I'm sure the new kids aren't anywhere near as successful, the core teams and like Gavin are fucking rich. 99% sure someone like Geoff is only keeping up his job because he likes creating things and wouldn't know what to do if he couldn't.

>>94271302
There was that one drunk tank where Bernie was talking about how he felt uncomfortable about people knowing how much he is insured for if he were to die, and that was years ago. Can't even imagine how much that all have now.

>>94271429
Again, the thing that stands out to me was I was watching a LRR stream, and Graham Stark was just summing up the difference between them (basically living in small apartments) and whenever Bernie shows up to an event ("Hold on guys I have to go park my Tesla.")

Like I would say that of them all... maybe Jason is the only one who's not rolling in cash. Just because he's not a very public figure.

Monty turned up.

When it was just idiots hanging out in a comfy location it was great. When it got all fancy it lost its charm and its humour.

>>94255483
>To me it went downhill the moment it started taking itself too seriously.
Yeah, the "Re..." seasons.
More like Red vs Blue: Retardation

>>94255325
It was never good.

The newest season seemed too serious for me, was it any good?

>>94255849
Or some aloe vera.

>>94271749
It's not over yet, but currently it's very mixed. I do like the villain though

>>94271749
It's painfully serious and unfunny until the crew turn up again, whereupon it gets more light hearted, then goes a bit dark, but more the silly kind of dark than full coldsteel

what was the season that just focused on the freelancers?
that was some fucking hot garbage

oh boy that sure was a new episode

i liked the part where they spent five minutes having sappy feels moments

and when they kept playing up the GrifXSimmons shit

funny joke

>>94271800
Anything after Bloodgulch is hot garbage.
Bloodgulch isn't even good, its just authentic turn-of-the-century American degenerate humor.

Red Vs Blue is a treasure

Posting superior machinima series. Still good after all these years and one of my favorite shows of all time. Recommend watching it if you haven't yet, episodes are only like 10 minutes long.

It's also a good internet history piece. Newfags won't recognize most of the memes.

>>94255325
the new season is actually good and it confuses me, did they get a new writer?
>this season carolina is funny for the first time
>this season wash is funny for the first time since his introduction
>this season the least funny member of the team tucker
Seriously I haven't laughed at this show in years what's going on

>>94255325
>What went wrong?
It continued after they 'supposedly' put Texas to rest like she deserved, and killed Col. Sanders.

>>94274259
tucker has always been the least funny of the group

FIRST 100 EPISODES OR BUST YOU DAMN DIRTY SHIZNOES

>tfw never watched RvB even though all my friends watched it when i was a kid
Where do I start and when do I stop watching

>>94274736
>where do i start
S1E1
>where do i stop
end of revelation

basically, watch until the end of the halo 3 era

It's Rooster Teeth, it was bound to go wrong.

Nothing went wrong, BGC had its run and it was fun but it was already getting stale.

The Re- trilogy was as a whole very good, The Monty seasons had good worldbuilding at least and set up Chorus which was great.

Hell this season is the best one in years.

>>94255325
Season 10.

>>94274608
BLAAARGH!!

>>94274736
Start from the first episode

Don't stop watching before the end of season 2, if you still don't like it then you can drop it.

If you like it keep going until you don't like it.

>>94274938
I gave up during the Freelancer prequel season after Season 10.

>>94274259
Yeah, new writer

I swear to god if they kill wash and replace him with locus
it might actually kill the show

>>94276872
Locus doesn't have enough personality to be a main cast member

>>94277606
>>94276872
Does Wash really have a personality?

Less angry, less assertive Church?

>Wash is funny for the first time since his introduction

The entire POINT of Washington is that he isn't funny. His ultra-serious nature and I CAN'T TRUST ANYONE EVER AGAIN shtick was intentional to contrast him completely to the reds and blues. It's what made Reconstruction such a good season, despite it being completely different from the Blood Gulch Chronicles. The more mellow Washington became, the less interesting he became.

>>94279042
To be fair, Wash has been living with the Reds and Blues for how many years? What's he gotta be so serious about?

Playing 'house' in custom games is the best way to play Halo.
