People have announced the death of RT about a billion times in this thread alone, but this really does feel like the beginning of the end. Try to remember anything RT ever brought back from indefinite hiatus other than RouLet'sPlay (only for like half a year too), because I really can't think of anything else.

I mean like.... Red vs Blue is what made RT in the first place, the death of that show is pretty telling. But then again... wishful thinking too.

Went to check the RT subreddit for reactions about RVB getting shadowrealmed, and turns out the news broke 18 days ago. Thread has a pathetic 28 replies. RT subreddit also seems to have slowed down to a snail's pace, because the last post, that isn't just a guy asking for a pirated copy of Let's Play Live 2015, was over six hours ago.

Has RvB even been good for the past 10 years?
Never watched past like season 4 or 5, maybe now is the time to go back and watch all the good stuff.

I stopped watching about a decade ago, and it was already getting long in the teeth then. The slow transition from goofball comedy to sooper serious plot put me off, as well as the shift from machinima to Monty's CGI wankfests. I forget which season premiere it was where it just started straight off with bad CGI instead of machinima, maybe for the entire episode, and I decided I'd had enough. Didn't watch any more after that, and that's also pretty much when I stopped following anything RT-related.

It's been years since I watched any RvB, but seasons 1-5 probably hold up more or less, seasons 6-8 are okay but kind of mixed, and everything after that I don't even remember if I watched it or not.

Season 14 (the anthology season) would have been a good place to put it to rest.
I view it like a band putting out an album with all of their b-tracks.
A nice little wrap-up gift.
... Then the Chorus arc was made.

Its generally considered to be good up till the end of Season 8, which is the first finale for the freelancer saga. With Seasons 9-10 being weaker but overall still good, with season 10 being the second and last finale for the freelancer saga. Everything else is unwatchable garbage past that point.

Even the serious stuff as it builds up has some weight to it, though its clearly not for everyone. At least it has two clean satisfying finales, which are retroactively ruined by the following awful seasons. But hey you can just not watch anything after season 10 if you actually want to enjoy RvB.

I've heard that after Season 10, Red vs Blue just passed the torch and the keys to RT to RWBY and was content in the back seat after that. Make of that what you will.

Also, I've heard Zero was shit.

Yep, Burnie handed it over to Miles for season 11, and he wrote the Chorus Trilogy. It wasn't that bad but season 13 was too jam packed with characters and sub-plots, and an ending that was rushed and full of himself. To me, that's when it fell apart.

It's okay, all the activity just moved to the RT website. :^)

Looking back, when that trailer first dropped, did that feel like a "passing of the torch" moment? As in, it was known the fabric of RT would change completely?

I won't repeat my long ass post in the RWBY thread so I will just TLDR it.

There is a lot of evidence to suggest that Burnie had no faith in RWBY and only allowed Monty to make it as a way to keep him on RT's payroll with minimal resources and help.

When the RWBY trailers generated the massive amount of interest they did, Burnie started putting more serious resources behind the first season and essentially turned it into the flagship after the success of Season 1.

No, I fully believe everyone was on the "RvB is our main product" up until the trailer hit fucking gang busters in views.

Well, at least RvB let the changing of the guard happen without any controversy. Sucks Gen Lock couldn’t do that.

Well, nobody came for the world or the story. Some may have stayed for those, but everyone knew what the main attraction was…and still is, even if it isn’t as good as before.
