The Genius Of Red Vs. Blue | PrimeHylian

[@AlejoConejo-vb8ln]

Calling RvB "genius" is the biggest understatement in the history of film and storytelling.

[@alalium]

Of all time

[@ZzbrownbarbiezZ]

It’s too bad their genius devolved over time

[@AlejoConejo-vb8ln]

@@ZzbrownbarbiezZ That's because the creator Burnie Burns stopped getting involved after Season 13. By Season 18 (Zero) the makers were a completely different group of people that had never worked on RvB before consisting of amateur writers, and a director who thought "RvB meets Fast & Furious" was a good pitch to make. Still, Seasons 1-13 are expertly written and nothing changes that.

[@aidan7368]

@@AlejoConejo-vb8ln let's not get too crazy, seasons 11-13 were pretty far out there

[@AlejoConejo-vb8ln]

@@aidan7368 What do you mean by "far out there"? Is that good or bad? (Legit question btw).

[@Bakamatsu-GojiFanArchive]

The earlier seasons of rvb were very engaging with the audience. They were limited on what they could show so it was up to the audience to visualise what they were "expositing" I think it's kind of like a horror movie. A real one not the crappy ones with a plethora of jumpscares with no proper buildup or payoff. The best horror movies use an audiences mind as a tool to scare them. Our minds conjure up scarier images than what anyone could show us and the same thing was here but in a comedic way. Our minds would create funnier visuals than what they'd show us if they could

[@PrimeHylian]

Definitely, that's an interesting comparison to Psychological horror, didn't think about that. But yeah, our minds fill in the blanks and the way they used that with their limited resources in production made for fantastic and really organic comedy.

[@ginge641]

Seasons 10 and 13 were my favourite seasons. I always love a good story and the humour is interwoven with more serious moments of the seasons excellently.

[@RemyRaccoon]

Ahhhhh, this has got me all nostalgic now. I haven't caught up RvB in recent years but I have especially fond memories of pretty much every season up until 10, which is where I got up to. The Blood Gulch Chronicles is fantastic for every reason you said, but I really like later seasons as well for the surprisingly good fight scenes and the awesome soundtrack, which I still listen to to this very day. Nice video, man!

[@PrimeHylian]

Thanks man

[@steelbarber]

valeforXD Keep watching man, the chorus trilogy was great

[@teamcybr8375]

You definitely need to watch 11-13. It was seriously amazing, as good as freelancer in the later parts.

[@ajtallent4501]

you really should watch the chorus Trilogy. it has a slow start but is really funny and while not as action packed as the freelancer saga it does a lot with the characters(I can almost guarantee season 13 will make you cry more than once). Also Season 14 is pretty good. its an anthology so its a mixed bag. the bad episodes are crap but the good ones are some of the best.

[@blizzardgaming7070]

Stop at season 15

[@JDT-Loadsamoney]

And without a mention of Zero. The way I enjoy my RvB, without knowing how it has become a shell of its former self.

[@Omnicharlizard]

Told my coworker who only watched the first season of RvB and played halo….”that’s not the RvB I remember” was his response to me after explaining the plot after season 5 xD this show is so good and gets better

[@CreativeNames101]

lmao, yea i bet he was a little confused, but still more then 0.

[@abraaomitichon7868]

This helped me a lot with writing exposition in one of my books, funny enough in one book that I am writing I did exposition terrible and ironic enough in another one I did it great

[@PrimeHylian]

Glad I was able to help! Hope that goes well for you

[@SnoopingTurtle]

Good. Shit. My. Main. Man.

[@PrimeHylian]

I. Appreciate. You. My. Boy. 👏

[@PrimeHylian]

If you guys love Halo, I just made a video discussing why I think it's so amazing. Find it in the end screen of this video!

[@amanofculture580]

You ever just scroll through KZbin at 11:00 at night and say “ Do you ever wonder why we’re here?”

[@nelliebachesneg6655]

Why *are* we here?

[@polnaszek5]

Holy shit, I just randomly stumbled upon this through Twitter and this is great dude! Very well made autopsy, it gives me an excuse to watch the series again. This earned you a sub from me, I’m interested in what you’ll make next.

[@PrimeHylian]

Thanks so much!!

[@CRANTIME]

Good stuff, man. Leave it to Rob to look that deep into a comedy series.

[@PrimeHylian]

Dude I can turn anything into a serious video essay just watch me ;)

The ending of season 6 literally was the best thing my eyes have ever laid eyes on

[@GbcTyler]

Great video Rob, Didn't expect such an in depth look at this series!

[@samuelramirez4985]

this series is a masterpiece

YO THIS WAS A VIDEO YOU MADE BACK IN 2018? THIS ISN'T A MEMORIAL VIDEO!? YOU LEGEND

[@SteveOfWarr]

Great analysis of this series dude. Makes me want to watch it all again

[@Ze_No_One]

and then season 17 happened, the series should have ended at season 13, with season 14 being a last parting gift

[@beam_me_up_scotty69]

Woah 17 was great

[@LORDOFDRAGONS555]

I am so happy you made this video man, thank you so much!!!

[@PrimeHylian]

No worries! Glad you liked it :D

[@bean5350]

Just to say this is still a good and high quality vid, keep it up my guy

Great video! Keep up the good work👍

[@PrimeHylian]

Thanks so much man!

[@johnm9362]

Parker Toad nothing much 😂

[@jblack8099]

Idk what you're talking about all they do is stand around and talk, that's what they did in season 1 and all the way to season 13 and 5 seasons from now, when you ask me what are they doing my awnser gonna be they're still just talking and still just standing there. If you can't tell I'm joking, I actually really love the show

[@trevorparker6400]

What are they talking about?

[@thejfoshow1320]

This is unironically a big turn off to people to be fair

[@G2BattleConvoy]

I understood that reference, lol.

[@thadmeboy1129]

The reason rvb zero doesn't work is because it takes away the core of the show and doesn't replace it with anything

[@beam_me_up_scotty69]

It replaces it with Cutting Edge Robotics and old kitchen appliances

[@mikethespike056]

Nice thumbnail and choice of music.

[@ii3273]

What type of comedy would you categorize RVB in?

[@freshxenorana263]

I think it would be a tragicomedy

[@GrapeFlavoredAntifreeze]

The type of comedy is a Timbre focused sitcom, but on the whole RVB transcends far beyond comedy in general. It can be best described as a perfect characterization and discussion of the human condition and the ways different people cooperate and communicate as they try to figure out their own meaning in life. Its what makes the show not only one of the funniest and most relatable of all time, but one of the most tragic and heartbreaking, never failing to make us ugly cry when it feels like it. Its a show about Grief, Love, Identity, Tragedy, Community, and Responsibility, things every human being struggles with on a deep personal level to one extent or another. It taps into the most meaningful parts of our soul and uses that connection to try to bring different types of people closer together. A once in a century type of show.

[@adidassmith6756]

Rvb is one of my favorite shows as well

[@gavinramseyme]

Hey... That's pretty good!

[@JudasCrusader]

You can help change that by sharing around the video ;)

[@orly1770]

What is the hell is that music!?

[@mikkirefur]

I think if you actually covered the first scene, without the editing out of the crucial opener, you would have covered in a more comprehensive manner what the show is about. The AI units were powerful archetypes and points to the underlying storyline.

[@penguin-IDK]

G8 stuff

[@stoneodin2288]

Red team all day

[@loganberrywooo]

Nah caboose carries blue to the top

[@Spritzkrieg]

Hmm... I feel like the first several seasons had much better character work, and that character declined as the narrative inclined in quality. Season 13 is my favorite, primarily because it's just got such a well-done story. But the Reds and Blues in those later seasons are like caricatures, as compared to their more grounded, but still distinct, Blood Gulch personalities. I can't stand Donut nowadays; I preferred when Caboose was just a complete moron as opposed to... obscenely disabled?; the Reds are almost too much, but they're bearable and not too stale. I like them. Wash used to be my favorite character, because he was the guy who always said what I wanted to say. Perfectly balanced dryness. But nowadays, I prefer Tucker because he's had such a strong arc, at least up until Season 15 (I haven't watched beyond that.). Tucker is a bit of a caricature, too, but I feel it's well-balanced. I'm not sure if this would be an unpopular opinion, but I really like Carolina, too. Almost as much as Wash. She felt a bit too OP in her Halo 3 days, but I enjoyed how she was a strong female protagonist stereotype, difference being that she's so competitive that she suffers because of it. I could relate to that. Anyway, I'm done rambling. Just wanted to contribute.

[@joelm33]

A culture where insulting one another is politically correct? That sounds amazing!

[@returnedtomonkey8886]

Can anyone explain this to me? Why is the writing of rvb so good while the writing of rwby is hot garbage? It's the same writers.

[@IDk-zi6ew]

I think they want rwby to be available to younger audiences, thus less searing, rude jokes and a much less complicated plot

[@fireking6308]

Seasons 1-3 were really good.

[@MoonSpiritChannel]

I'm gonna be shat on for this but I don't care. I never watched RvB primarily b/c of my disdain for the Halo franchise.

[@Iegotroop]

Then why are u watching a video about a Halo machinima...?

[@MoonSpiritChannel]

To see what the fuss is about, and looks like I missed out.

[@ThomasGabrielWhite]

Disliking the game isn't a good reason to not watch the show. I don't know anything about the games, and I don't have to. The show is its on story, and is one of my favorite shows created by Rooster Teeth, it is right below RWBY on that list. I know other people will say they like Red vs Blue better, but they knew the characters for longer than I did and saw it first. I watched Red Vs Blue between volume 3 and 4 of RWBY.

[@fraughtmonster8]

MoonSpirit did you check it out?

[@teamcybr8375]

You should totally watch it. The most it ever ties into Halo is the occasional mention of the UNSC.

[@flagassault9715]

RvB isn't even funny

[@regriefing1807]

I’d say in my opinion it is
