I love Red vs Blue, and I loved the Chorus arc, but they fucked up the character foils and it bothers me.

something about trust

Writing below the cut!

“How… does it feel?” Locus asked haltingly. Lopez shrugged. “<Weird. But I expected that.>” Locus hummed, his brow furrowed like he was lost in thought as he scanned Lopez’s face. Lopez grabbed Locus’ wrists, bringing his hands to his throat.  “What are you--?” “<One way to test it. Take my head off.>” Locus’ eyes widened, his expression turning panicked. He tried to pull his hands away, but Lopez held him steady. “<You are the only person strong enough,>” Lopez said firmly, giving the other no room to balk any further. “<If this synthskin doesn’t fix the problem, I want to know now, not later.>” Lopez could feel the way Locus’s hands shifted, his fingers flexing as he fought some internal debate. Lopez couldn’t read his mind, but the flicker of those marble grey eyes was telling as Locus looked at his hands around Lopez’s throat, then to his face and then back again and again. “<It doesn’t hurt, if that’s what all this fuss is about.>” Not strictly true, having his head removed wasn’t exactly a pleasant feeling. But better to do it now, with some degree of control, than in the middle of a fight or an accident. The sensation of feeling everywhere his skin touched was strange though, the normally very localized sensors spread out across the surface of the synthskin. Was this how humans felt things all the time? No wonder they were so easily distracted. Neither of them moved. “You’re certain?” Locus asked finally, his voice little more than a whisper. Lopez raised an eyebrow and let himself grin just a little at being able to convey the sentiment properly. Maybe there were some advantages to the synthskin after all. “<I wouldn’t have said it if I wasn’t.>” A nod, then the pressure. Lopez knew Locus was strong, for a human, but the feeling of his hands tightening around his neck and pulling at his jaw, the base of his metal skull…  His head didn’t budge, and the pressure eased. Lopez clicked his tongue, releasing Locus’ wrists. “<Good. That is one problem fixed, at least.>”

i was watching season thirteen with the gang and had a vision

[ibetittering]

Realized I haven't made one of these in a while 😋

(Part 19)

[yuhi-san]

Say about red vs blue whatever you want but it is fucking comedy gold. The dialog is hilarious, dumb and clever at once and the flow is amazing and the interactions so organic (also the voice acting is A+). And season 6? Reconstructions?

Like, the shift of it. Its still silly and dumb and they are so far from competent but putting agent Washington into the mix is soo good. Like before it was a bunch of bumbling fools trying to deal with whatever dumb shit but really not wanting to and generally making things worse. Now you have wash who is driven and goal oriented and driving the narrative compared to the blood gulch crew who was mostly unwillingly draffed along by the narrative (and now Wash lol).

And the back and forth of the chairmans and the directors letter? The way it gives us crombs and little implication but not really any explanation but as time goes on you can slowly puzzle it all together. The ever growing hostility and intensity of the exchange.  The way it all falls into place at the revelation of the ai. The impact of washs line of “You are the alpha” (and frankly how fucking hilarious churchs reaction was).

The joke about the reds deleting the blues from the database as just something dumb they did that just happened to stop wash from proving church was an ai but actually shaped the story so much. Causing wash to end up in prison because he had nothing to prove his story and argue his case. The fact the unsc couldn’t take epsilon because they didn’t know about caboose. How wash could use that as leverage lately.

And yeah, it does not yet have the same amazing action scenes we get from this one goes to eleven on or anything but damn, the confrontation between wash, the director, the consoler and the meta was still so intense, like goddamit.

The line “And while the law has many penalties for the atrocities we inflict on others, there are no punishments for the terrors that we inflict on ourselves.”? Uff…

And by then, you know, right? But still the absolute gut punch of the seasons final words

Sincerely yours, the former director of Project Freelancer, Doctor Leonard Church.

I know tumblr ain’t ready for this one but I genuinely think RvB 1-13 is a very good well written show

[jaybirdscoffee]

the thing about red vs blue is that it is fundamentally about what transformers has always been about and that is what makes it A Perfect Media

[rocketboots564]

The return of Agent Washingtub

[cartoontees]

red vs. blue started out as a weird, confusing, meaningless, nonsensical show about some guys playing video games and fucking around; lost its way somewhere in the middle and accidentally became a really well written character-driven epic sci-fi action dramedy about the nature of war and the path to redemption; but finally found its way back to its roots in the end with a weird, confusing, meaningless, and nonsensical season 19 finale after 21 long long years. and i'm not lying or joking even a little bit when i say this: i think that's beautiful.

(reading the tags on the kill-god/mini-golf post) Yeah, SERIOUSLY; RVB needs to have a season (or at least a good chunk of the season) where they just goof around. Stuff still happens, but it isn't INTENSE. The idea of the "anthology" series is cool and all, but making it be the whole "season 14" is... WEIRD. I honestly forget that it is technically 14 most of the time, it just feels like a couple of mini-series/PSAs (which aren't bad! I love a lot of them! it just isn't a "season"). Then it makes the flow of the whole story really out-of-step.

I keep wondering if it would have worked better if 14 had been a goof around season of them being on Iris (instead of the montage later), but then that takes away the big mystery of what happened to them after Chorus/where are they/who these new suspicious Blues and Reds are/etc... maybe 14 could have been the "try to take personal vacations" season, and when that doesn't work, they all come back together and there is some kind of implication that they want to hide from the UNSC for a while (the real answer is, this is just where they go to Iris, but it lets the set up with the Blues and Reds still happen). OR, a season that doesn't have the main characters, but a consistent plot without extreme high-stakes (so it isn't a jumble of the anthology... though, I'd only like this as a concept if it happened in a previous way, with a solid season of JUST Project Freelancer events, but that's a whole other conversation of rearranging things). I also with the events of 15 had been more drawn-out (maybe it could have been 14 AND 15 respectively, giving us more goof around time and such. I enjoy a lot of stuff with 16-17, but it has such a rocky start, and is hard to really get INTO it)

Anyway, sorry for the ramble; very good and compelling thoughts in your tags~

lol don’t apologize for ramble. i think 14 is a weird case cause it’s hard to give too much like. logical criticism? feasible criticism? because i know production was really weird. they weren’t sure what to with rvb anymore. i think having season 14 be an actual season of the show and not a side thing was a really bad idea like. a REALLY bad idea but i don’t think the idea of doing a bunch of smaller stories in between seasons is a bad one. like if 14 was just it’s own thing i think it would have been fine. just say rvb is taking a hiatus before season 14 and we’re gonna put out some side things including some canon side stories and some guest stuff and some psa style stuff and some whatever yknow whatever. like yeah it would be kinda rough to have canon content in a side thing but we literally. already have that lol the watch order is already a mess. idk. i wouldn’t want to lose the triplets or the merc trilogy but i do think season 14 as it is was just. a mistake who’s ripple effects lasted for the rest of the show’s life.
