TV Tropes / Catharsis Factor / Death Battle:

Having a character/character from a series you like end up winning, especially after a years-long losing streak (most notably Ryu's victory over Jin for Street Fighter fans, Jason Lee Scott's victory over Leonardo for Power Rangers fans, Spider-Gwen's victory over Batgirl for Spider-Man fans, Shadow's victory over Ryūko for Sonic fans, and Storm's victory over Korra for X-Men fans) can be very satisfying.

Ryu's victory over Jin also has an additional moment of catharticism as Ryu had already lost prior. Seeing him win this time was beyond satisfying to any of his fans.

Shadow's victory over Ryūko also has an additional moment of catharticism as Shadow had already lost twice prior, causing him to become a Memetic Loser. Seeing him finally win was beyond satisfying to any of his fans.

Special mention goes to Boba Fett's victory over the Predator, as the former was the show's very first loser. Seeing the former finally win after over 11 years was beyond satisfying to any of his fans.

Black Widow is better than Widowmaker!

Take that, Widowmaker fan!

Death Battle!

Anyway, this shouldn't need to be said, but please don't bug the cast and crew of Rooster Teeth shows about what this means for this or that series.

They don't know any more than we do. The company shutting down was just as much of a surprise for them as it was for us.

Its been an honour, RT, till next time 🫡

(this is not a real product I just whipped it up)

[prefer-not-to-be-known]

Rooster Teeth is shutting down!

Don't forget to archive the shows you care about, https://roosterteeth.com certainly won't function without the company!

You never know when you would want to rewatch it and on which streaming service it would end up... If not become lost media, that is.

Heads up!

[johnnytheepic]

Thank you Rooster Teeth. Not only making one hell of a content, but impact people of the internet. A Final goodbye and thank you for everything you done.

[supersaiyanjedi14]

Farewell, Rooster Teeth. It was a blast.

So, this is it. The end of Rooster Teeth. The end of something I spent half of my life watching. I got into RT through randomly stumbling across Season 1 of Death Battle by chance and I never looked back. I spent more than half of my life watching their stuff, laughing along with their jokes, and being inspired by the people who made it. They were a source of joy in my life, especially in times when I really needed it. The talent and passion of those that worked there always shined through on everything they did. To those who worked there, I'm sorry it ended the way it did, and I wish them the best of luck as you go forwards. I'll always remember the heart and soul they put in, the engrossing stories they told, and hilarious insanity you really can't find anywhere else.

But, while there was a lot of good, there was also a lot of bad. The crunch, the toxic bro culture, the sexual predator that worked there for 12 years, it was a mess. It is horrible that any of this happened at all, and to those who were effected by it, I am so sorry you had to go through that. I felt terrible about being sad it closing for this reason, but after some reflection, I think what I'm really sad about is how much it meant to people. Me, the other fans, and all the employees, anyone who saw the goodbye stream could testify to that.

From that shared meaning spawned a community that I was a part of. One that unquestionably had a lot of problems as well, (I'm definitely not going to miss the anti-woke grifters when they inevitably move on to the next thing), but a community nonetheless. I don't really talk about my personal life on here much but, I'm not good with social interactions or maintaining relationships with people I don't see daily. I haven't ever really had a job before despite my attempts to get one, and well, given that I want to work in the TV/Film industry and the state that it's currently in...yeah. I sometimes feel like a failure, wonder why I should even bother trying.

But with RT, I had a community of people who were like me. People who I could nerd out with and not really worry about alienating. People I could laugh and cry with. I felt like I had a place here like I never really did elsewhere. One of my big regrets is that I never had the opportunity to go to a fan event and meet others in my community in person. But the good news is, despite the company closing, the community is still going to stick around for a long time. The fanmade archives are a thing, and many of the shows are either already going to continue, or in talks to continue.

Tonight, I decided to watch one final thing on their website and I chose Red vs Blue Season 13, partly because it's one of my favorite, if not the favorite, things this media company ever put out. But I also chose it because of the ending. Because even when things are bleak, even when the future is uncertain, there will always be hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, that your friends (and Rooster Teeth employees in this case) will all eventually be okay. In other words, because in the end, you just have to have faith. Ain't that a bitch?

Being a fan wasn't always easy, but I look around at everyone talking about what Rooster Teeth and its community meant to them, and I know that is why we were here. And I'm glad I was here with all of you.

People espousing why Rooster Teeth "had it coming" with their closure are bad enough but they miss the bigger picture.

Namely how RT's closure is part of a wider problem of bigger companies closing down smaller studios under them. Not merely parting ways or the studio itself going under due to its own faillures.

No, a big studio executive and their shareholders saw that it not raking in the dough by the trillions was a greenlight to just "cut their losses." They are so high up, so obscencely rich that they're unable to so much as empathize with the little people they claim to lift up.

It'd be one thing if Rooster Teeth's mismanaged management caught up to them on their own. But nope. Davey-boy just gave them their collective pink slip without so much as a negotiation over the matter.

Not like they need to fear competition. If they can waste money on movies and shows that they will shelf to avoid doing their taxes like "poor people," Rooster Teeth going on their own wouldn't have been any skin of their backs.

But they had to because... well... remember Hopper's speech from A Bug's Life? The one about "keeping those ants in line?"

With the news of Rooster Teeth ending, I imagine this is David Zaslav watching himself as he slowly destroys the entertainment industry.

[autisticlio]

Spyro gets his ADD diagnosis.

Winter Soldier is better than Red Hood!

Take that, Red Hood!

Death Battle!

[pittheswordmaster]

Had My Hero on the mind as of late with it being so close to its finale so wanted to draw this.

This won’t affect the commissioned tracks, but best to buy and download the ones you can.

It’s not the end, but until Death Battle finds a new home, the tracks won’t be available on YouTube.

At least, not unless the musicians remake them. But that’ll take time.

David zaslav's bullshit takes another victim, the worst part the employees didn't even know that it was being shut down beforehand. Rip rooster teeth thanks for all the memories you brought us
