How Red vs Blue Inspired a Generation (Video Essay) 

I remember becoming such a die-hard fan of the series, knowing the exact hour a new episode would release, and scheduling my after-school hours just so i could watch.

Knowing rooster teeth is dead and the possibility of rvb fading into obscurity with no way of ever watching it all in order again (s1-13) breaks my heart. I remember i discovered this series at season 4 i believe. Its was H2 era and its been such an impactful part of my life. I watch through the whole series at least once every year and a half or so. Something i want to show my kids. I hope its within my ability to share it with them.

How is this not more popular. Hope you grow your channel because you have big talent!

This is insane level of quality! The script writing too! Using lines from the show to respond to your lines was great!

As someone who grew up with machinimas...and kinda still doing them, the internet has shown us that we can just create without needing a studio. Machinimas destruction was a huge blow to internet history. Not a lot of these creations were as lucky as Red Vs Blue, but they all contributed to a whole of making us want to expand our creativity and thats something to be cherised, tho i think thankfully thanks to fan efforts, a good chunk of stuff has been saved. But it can be hard to know, memory is a bitch like that.

This literally is such a perfect tribute to RvB. The way you word things, your style, the editing, music, I mean WOW. For your first RU-vid video, I am astonished at how great this encapsulates my love for RVB. Please keep making these, incredible work!

This is absolutely the only appropriate way to put Red Vs Blue in all honesty. Sadly I wasn't even born when RVB was popular and all, but it seriously taught me multiple life lessons and gave me good laughs. Hope this video gains WAY more attention because it definitely made me smile and tear up...

This video is so good, please let the algorithm recommend you to more people!

Thanks for sharing and for letting the “guys” say good bye.

I watched the very first episode the very first time it aired, and i watched every single episode after that, before YT even existed. RvB has been a constant subtle influence on my entire life, and i have loved it as such. Despite the ups and downs that rooster teeth experienced in their declining years...... i have nothing but respect and love for them. Hell, i took my new name from RvB. I owe them so much and this was an amazing and beautiful tribute to the end of an era.

I like how this is a hommage to Red Vs Blue, even down the the machinima aspects xD

"that has to be the worse throw, of all time" this video was amazing.

I think RvB will go down as one of my favorite pieces of media ever. I bought a Mother of Invention mug during season 10 and it’s still my favorite one, hands-down. I bought shirts, the dvds, and I still listen to the music regularly when I work. What a wonderful, dumb, amazing little series.

This is still my favorite series. I cried when I heard it was finally ended though i never watched new of the episodes. All of the characters mean so much to me. Its a huge part of my art, my humor- sometimes its all i wanna rant about. Love it to this day.

Dude, this is a seriously good video essay, like this needs a ton more attention then it has. Your writing, editing, pacing, snd creativity blend so well. Love all the callbacks and quotes you threw in as well, and using voice clips from the cast. Keep this up man, your channel is gonna skyrocket

This is a fantastic tribute to RvB. A series we love. It had its highs and VERY low lows. But it inspired others to make their own Machininas. Classics like Arby n the Chief, Pregame Lobby, This Spartan Life, Hard Justice, etc.

what I believe they should do after season 19 comes out is they should make a big bundle of all of Red vs Blue on dvd (or Blu Ray I guess). If they do that I would without a doubt buy it, same with RWBY and Camp Camp

So I've been with halo since the first one came out and I've known about red v blue for a long time and I've never given it a shot but this video has me try out the first episode of the first season and the halo 1 graphics and slapstick comedy brought me back to being a kid and hit me with nostalgia,I will definitely be watching the rest of the series,so i don't think it will fade into obscurity I think people will always find their way into it if they are halo fans

2:39 For the record this was my favourite version of the RT website. Also, that was an absolutely fantastic video! Well done!

Red Vs Blue is one of my main inspirations in my sense of humor and story telling, I will miss it but I'm also happy that it's finally ending and I'll keep watching and remembering it

My brother introduced me to rvb when I was around 8 and it's been SUCH an impactful part of my life, I remember when it was on Netflix and I'd just watch it over and over when my parents weren't home. I'm so thankful to everyone who made this show I love with all of my heart possible

Red Vs Blue was the first time I bought something online. The first season was mind blowing to hold in my hands, as a physical DVD. I still have the first 5 seasons.

Jesus! This shocked me in the best way. A video essay on RvB just after I recently found out about RoosterTeeth’s shutdown was so good to see how people still care. I also adore the visual creativity here! Wonderful video.

I found red vs blue 18 years late But i still fell in love with the series I loved halo and creativity And red vs blue is everything i loved Red vs blue was my favourite web series and to be honest my favourite franchise Now that rooster teeth and rvb is ending, i cant shake off the feeling of emptiness This video is great, i love the points you make and how you edited the voice clips of the characters to make it seem like youre interacting with them Thank you for this video And thank you to rooster teeth.

This has honestly been the best RvB/Rooster Teeth tribute video I’ve seen ❤💙 Thanks for reminding me why I feel in love with RvB all those years ago. A truly touching eulogy. The memories of this show will indeed live on in every RvB fan’s heart.

LMAO the death sound effect you made is so gold. Great content man just binged all 3 of your current videos.

Well done and great video. They were definitely the original source where other creators and eras of machinima streamed from.

Great video dawg, this deserves so much more attention. Hope this channel blows up cus we will be here for the journey.

You’ve spoken for the community thank you.

I just found your channel, thank you for this. Despite watching RvB many years ago, it is only now that I am about to start my journey with the Halo series, and the show has been on my mind more than usual. I showed up right as Season 14 was starting, and so I binged all 13 seasons in amazing time and loved it. I'm very sad that not only was it dragged out but now we can no longer watch the good parts without needing to pay those who ruined it. This eulogy was needed, and it is appreciated.

Morning somewhere reference

You have absolutely hit the ground running with this channel and I hope to see more from you in the future. Some genuinely good content.

Very appropriate timing, crazy how they’re done in never thought it would go away as a kid

I'll say this, I am relatively new to RvB and Halo in general. I was only 1 year old when Halo 3 came out so Halo in generall kinda went over my childhood. But in 2020 I bought myself an MCC wich led to me discovering RvB in summer of 2021. There was something about it that hooked me, despite my limited knowledge of English. I didn't even understand a lot of the jokes but the ones I did, made me laugh and I kept watching, falling in love with characters. Obviously, RvB wasn't long enough in my life to make an impact as significant as it made for you, but who knows, maybe I am yet to see it. As of today I rewatched the series like 3 times and I still go back to random episode from time to time to hear that guitar riff since it became just unreasonably comforting to me. Honestly, it's sad. It's sad that I never got a chance to see Reds and Blues in their glory days but I am so grateful that I got a chance to relive it. I wasn't there to see this sun rise but I'll sure as hell be there to see it set. P. S. YES, I know this comment is cheesy af.

Thank you for making such a amazing video. Was truly a joy to watch and remember the show with you.

this is actually amazing I'm shocked this doesn't have as many views or likes

Now that we've come so far, how can we start again? Memories will lead us back, instead we'll just pretend.

Yoooo! This was so good! Thank you for making this.

Let’s hope season 19 will be great

I made my own Machinimas back then with The Second Nobles being my favorite. I voice acted on Unexpected Adventures too. Halo was a big step for my filmmaking career!

Amazing video, this is everything I was thinking but you worded it way better hahaha, lovely the style of the video as well. Great work man!

One last hurrah.

wow man keep up with this your incredibly talented you'll go far if you stay consistent.

Your videos are so fucking good, so underrated

Underrated video. Underrated channel. Top notch stuff

This is so fun to watch! You did a great job with all the details and i love your amazing creativity

This is absolutely incredible! Great job man 😃

How do you only have 48 subscirbers Lets make that 49

Great video, hit me right in the feels

This was an amazing video, great job

I'm not crying... you're crying😭😭😭

I dropped out of RVB circa when they went to Halo 4... I should go watch it, and The Codex / The Heretic, too, if they still exist. The latter pair had much lower production values (that is to say, the video quality was shit, even for back then), but for the time at least a better story in my book than RVB.

How do you feel about Arby n the chief?

do piracy sites not have the show?

this was lovely also Sarge Shot you because you were a dirty Blue who dared have Red on him.
