History YMMV / RedVsBlue

** When the first promo for Season 19: ''Restoration'', was released, many began to believe the season was subjecting [[ContestedSequel Seasons 14-]]''[[AudienceAlienatingEra Zero]]'' to CanonDiscontinuity, by depicting them [[spoiler:as solely being simulations ran by Epsilon during the finale of Season 13.]] The ''only'' season this is even implied to apply to however is ''Zero'', as [[spoiler:the figure implied to be Epsilon-Sigma asks Epsilon if he thought the fight between Wash, Carolina, and the Viper Syndicate could actually happen, only for Epsilon to say it "[[RuleOfCool just looks cool]]".]] As a result, many locations from Website/TheOtherWiki to the subreddit have all claimed the seasons ''are'' {{retcon}}ned despite that not being officially said.

** Simmons is a nerd who nonetheless was able to keep up with Tucker's exercise regimen during Season 12. Additionally, his HollywoodCyborg status has become increasingly downplayed as the series has gone on to the point where it's not even mentioned in ''Red Vs. Blue: The Ultimate Fan Guide''. Most fanart has Simmons drawn as buff along with his mechanical implants being very blatant (i.e., having part of his face and right arm being mechanical replacements).

* BetterThanCanon: Many fans consider the [[CerebusSyndrome increasingly dark]] and [[RewatchBonus intricate]] plots to be better than those of ''Halo''.

** Is Caboose [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} the way he is]] because he was born with some sort of AmbiguousDisorder, or because he's received brain damage after arriving in Blood Gulch[[note]]Some examples include his life support turning off when he was critically injured which prevented oxygen from reaching his brain and when continuously kept drinking gasoline all the way up till ''The Chorus Trilogy'' because the other blues tricked him into thinking it was lemonade[[/note]]? [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Or did he start off with a disorder and the brain damage happened to increase his stupidity.]]

* AcceptableTargets: Don't expect the military to come across well in this web series, especially given that ArmedFarces is one of the main sources of comedy.

* ''YMMV/RedVsBlueTheShisnoTrilogy'': Season 15-17
* ''YMMV/RedVsBlueZero''

** Simmons is a {{Nerd}} who nonetheless was able to keep up with Tucker's exercise regimen during Season 12. Additionally, his HollywoodCyborg status has become increasingly downplayed as the series has gone on to the point where it's not even mentioned in ''Red Vs. Blue: The Ultimate Fan Guide''. Most fanart has Simmons drawn as buff along with his mechanical implants being very blatant (i.e., having part of his face and right arm being mechanical replacements).

* CompleteMonster: [[YMMV/RedVsBlueTheRecollection Sigma]], [[spoiler: [[YMMV/RedVsBlueTheChorusTrilogy Malcolm Hargrove, Felix]]]], [[YMMV/RedVsBlueTheShisnoTrilogy Genkins]], and Zero (see ''Zero'' folder above)

** Tucker is a rather amusing case of this. InUniverse, Captain Flowers describes him as having "striking metrosexual looks," which has contributed to most of his fanart depicting him as being MrFanservice turned UpToEleven (as most fans seem to find it funny that the ''only'' reason Tucker can't get laid is because of his CasanovaWannabe antics).

This page is for the YMMV tropes of Machinima/RedVsBlue.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: '''Lots''' of the humor in this series darts across the line so many times that one can't keep track, what with moments like [[Machinima/RedVsBlueTheBloodGulchChronicles Private Jimmy's death at the hands of Tex]], [[Machinima/RedVsBlueTheRecollection Freelancer Command having "Ctrl+F+U" as a keyboard shortcut for Caboose's teamkills]], [[Machinima/RedVsBlueTheProjectFreelancerSaga the numerous injuries poor Maine suffers through during the highway fight]], [[Machinima/RedVsBlueTheChorusTrilogy the Reds and Blues completely forgetting that Doc had been sucked away into the Future Cubes for several months]], [[Machinima/RedVsBlueSeason14 the interviews conducted for finding the "right" Red Team Sargent and Tucker-analogues]], [[Machinima/RedVsBlueTheShisnoTrilogy Sarge's rant about the "Whites"]], Grif ''immediately'' trying to kill himself when he learns that pizza's been erased from history (''The Shisno Paradox''), and Wash shooting Donut being repeated ''ad nauseam'' to point of becoming a hysterical RunningGag (''Singularity'') all being the '''tip''' of the proverbial iceberg.

** Another example is [[AntiHero Agent]] [[BadassNormal Washington]], introduced in ''[[Machinima/RedVsBlueTheRecollection Recovery One]]''. Initially, the Reds and Blues dislike and mistrust him; not only because he's a [[HiredGuns Freelancer]], but also because of how clear he makes it to them that he's only interested in what they can do for ''him'', not in their well-being. Even among the other upper leaderboard Freelancers, where he's more well-liked, [[NoRespectGuy he still doesn't get much respect]], as he's got [[NormalFishInATinyPond one of the lowest combat ratings of the group]]. However, he's a very popular character among the fans. That all being said, this gets increasingly downplayed as the Red and Blues [[FireForgedFriends accept him into]] [[TrueCompanions their makeshift "family"]] and he becomes the TeamDad.
** ''[[Machinima/RedVsBlueTheChorusTrilogy The Chorus Trilogy]]'' gave us [[GenkiGirl Dr. Emily Grey]], an AxCrazy MadScientist who the fans love for her [[DissonantSerenity cheeriness]], [[DitzyGenius quirkiness]], [[BreadEggsMilkSquick and utterly]] [[MadDoctor psychotic nature]]. In-Universe, the Reds and Blues alternate between finding her creepy/annoying or terrifying.

* DiagnosedByTheAudience: Later seasons have implied that Sarge suffers from severe PTSD, and he's always had sociopathic tendencies dating back to the first season of the show. Season 11 also has him even displaying some tendencies normally associated with senility while stuck in Crash Site Bravo.

* DiscreditedMeme: One scene of Doc arguing with O'Malley got pasted with a memetic exchange ("[[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/whats-in-your-pants “Are you a man or a woman?” “I’m a villain.” “What gender are you?” “Evil.” “Yeah, but what’s in your pants?” “Doom.”]]) and became popular. The fandom has a problem with that being described as an actual quote from the show, and the meme got banned from the show's sub-Reddit.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation:

** Surprisingly enough, ''Donut'' gets some of this. How many of his {{Double Entendre}}s are InnocentInnuendo, and how many are him {{Troll}}ing his teammates? Additionally, a lot of his seemingly ditzy comments can come across as him playing pranks on his friends, such as him cheerfully volunteering Simmons to become Red Team's {{Cyborg}} in Season 2.

** Grif, who is both overweight and a habitual smoker, is often drawn with a BigFun body design.

** Grif, who is both overweight and a habitual smoker, is often drawn with a BigFun body design. Also, the fact that Kaikaina is "chubby" InUniverse has led to virtually all fanart depicting her as a BigBeautifulWoman.

** Simmons is a HollywoodNerd who nonetheless was able to keep up with Tucker's exercise regimen during Season 12. Additionally, his HollywoodCyborg status has become increasingly downplayed as the series has gone on to the point where it's not even mentioned in ''Red Vs. Blue: The Ultimate Fan Guide''.
