Red Vs Blue General Discussion

She broke it off of the glacier, hollowed it out from the bottom, plugged all of the rifles openings with wax, put it in the hollow stalagtite, poured water over it, waited for it to freeze, turned it point-up and planted it in the snow.

CAROLINA! CHURCH! NOOOOOOO!

FUUUUUUUUCK

THAT WAS AWESOME BUT ALSO FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

Damn it.

To Rooster Teeth I go.

That certainly moved things along.

I may still not be the biggest fan of the CGI fight sequences (though they've gotten better, tone wise I think), but there's a part of me that's suddenly really wanting to see Caboose in one.

Not in a sense where I want to see him break out the kung fu moves. I want to see him have a "CABOOSE HATES BABIES!" callback moment where fights 'Hulk' style where people get thrown around a lot and he tanks anything that gets thrown at him.

Which on the one hand seems like an unlikely event to happen. But on the other hand, with the likes of O'Malley coming back and the way they made Caboose the one person who could pass that barrier, it seems more a possibility than it might have at one point.

I think they improved considerably after Season 10.

They're just as fluid and a wee bit more practical, no insane camera angles, less balls-off-the-walls actions; it feels more tactical.

Locus and Felix actually fight like a team, compared to the Freelancers who were constantly pulling out new tech and messing with each other.

Oh god...I just realized that this needs to happen.

Angry Caboose vs. Angry Doc.

I still think Caboose is gonna hear Filiss being sad and tired and be PISSED.

Caboose will first see what has happened to Church and get mad, leading to his fight with Doc. Then later, Caboose will find FILSS and kill the Chairman.

Though in all honesty, I think that the Chairman is going to survive the events of Season 13, but will be outed by the UNSC while Locus and Felix die. Whoever gets the Meta suit (at this point either Sharkface or Doc) will be his Dragon.

Okay, so Sharkface-Carolina CQC was pretty janky, but holy shit that flamethrower reveal. The cavern sequence was also a pretty fantastic sequence, right up there with Monty's best, and it was wonderful seeing Wash go full Guile Hero again.

Rooster Teeth has always been about slow improvement, at this rate I expect next seasons CQC to be up there with most Hollywood productions.

Thing is, it was pretty decent last season. This time around... :/

I don't really agree with you there, I felt like the sense of impact was much better than last season.

Same. Fighting from last Season was ok, but CGI kinda sucked and stood out too much. Here, they do a lot better with both fighting and CGI.

The fighting seems to be a combination of the epicness of Monty Oum and the realism of Season 12. Both Carolina and Sharkface fought awesomely and Carolina did put up a decent fight without feeling like she just got worfed while Sharkface showed why he came back.

Agreed. Carolina and Sharkface's first encounter was a bit janky, but their extended round 2 was excellent. Not too over-the-top like Monty's stuff, but better than any of the fight scenes since Monty.

Glad to see some damn flamethrowers. Also glad for "what the fuck is with this guy?"

Well, it's a valid question!

Hey, I'm not caught up with the show, but you guys might be interested that the makers are doing an AMA on Reddit. Sorry if it's old news.

Episode 12 preview. Will Felix kill Doyle? Probably if he wants to have a sword fight with Tucker.

Props to Doyle at the beginning of the video- tossing the sword was probably the best he could've done under those circumstances. Probably would've been better to do it sooner, but hey, hindsight.

The situation with Carolina was kind of a cop-out, though. :/

Nah, last thing Carolina needs is to be by herself for a while, and rvb undercuts its own tension all the time

Okay, Church sitting on Carolina was hilarious.

... would throwing the sword over the cliff had helped? Honestly, that seems like it'd be worse. Charon has way more men and supplies, they'd have a much easier time finding the sword than the Chorus-ers. Doing what he did gave the Reds and Blues a shot to get it back, if it weren't for the magical gunship ex machina.

Granted, he was driven by cowardice, but I think he did the best possible action (if by accident).

If the sword had fallen, it probably would result in a similar situation as already exists, only the Reds and Blues would have more time to think up/execute a plan before Felix figures out the sword won't work for him.

My point mostly being his actions meant that there was a chance they could've recovered the sword. If he threw the sword over the cliff? No way in hell anyone but Charon is getting it.

Well, there was literally no way Charon wasn't getting it at that point, so it was still valid.

What Sea said, tossing the sword could have bought them weeks
