This might be dickheadish to say , but I honestly kind of hope the crew doesn’t make a follow up to hlvrai - or at least if they do, it’s more in the vein of their recent AI streams like Meen and Gnome. I feel that with the story lines/jokes less focused on character relations and the anonymization of the AI voice the fans have been less… weird about it. In many senses. The isolation during COVID probably had a hand too in people just throwing discourse and weird ideas out but really the current fandom and 2020s really feel like night and day and I reallllly don’t want it to backslide.
Interesting take! I understand where are you coming form (since i had similar opinions) and i dont think it's in any way bad to think or say that.
Personally, i think that most of that "old guard" of the fandom disappeard. It's gonna be FOUR YEARS after hlvrai, pepole lost their intrest, and it's not like most of these pepole had any intrest in rtvs related stuff beyond that, lol.
But back to your ask: i had a very similar opinion to you, BEFORE gnome and other stuff happened. I was afraid that they are just gonna do the same thing again to please the fans, but the fact that they waited so long proven to me that they aren't gonna half-ass it, and that they are really going to do something very different and unique.
Like baaulp said on stream once - if they wanted, they could just make the same video again but in HL2, and get lots of money and fame. They didin't do that becuse they really care about what they are doing.
I LOVE WHEN CREATIVE PEPOLE DONT LESSEN THEIR WORK FOR THE FANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE WHEN THEY DO WHAT THEY WANNA DO!!!!!!!!!!!!
i will say tho ngl having any poll about "best/most interesting cr thing" is kinda pointless bc like. most people got into cr during m9. most people have only watched m9. most people's favorite is by default anything m9, like i hesitate to say it's not fun but it...really kinda isn't fun when you already know Mighty Nein Thing™️ is gonna win
I think someone needs to start another rtvs fanzine this year. someone needs to do that and then let me join in. these are my rtvs thoughts of the day thanks for listening
I was litterally thinking about it recently. The community has grown so much since then and the crew did so many cool projects! And also now i have money so i could potentially actually support the artists invovled...
