Poll: Red Vs Blue - Which was the best story arc?

[Neverhoodian]

Honestly, I had no idea RvB was still going until recently. I figured BGC's conclusion was the grand finale, so I simply stopped watching. Based on the little I've seen and heard since then, I think I'm good with that. Hell, I'd say the series started its decline during the later BGC episodes. I never did care much for the backstory and plot surrounding Tex, as it seemed jarringly out of place compared to the more irreverent atmosphere surrounding the Reds and Blues. That didn't stop it from gradually muscling its way into the narrative though, until it started becoming the focus rather than a diversion. It's the same vibe I got from those godawful sketches internet reviewers like the Nostalgia Critic have succumbed to over the years.

Project Freelancer was where I stopped watching. The blood gulch bit with church was alright, but the actual project freelancer bit was so appallingly bad I couldn't watch it without cringing. The story was dumb, the characters were boring at best and vomit-inducing at worst and my god were some of the designs atrocious. Carolina in particular looks like she was designed by a 13- year old. She's supposed to be a trained soldier- why does she need an emo fringe? The entire past bit was so fucking bad it actually made me embarrassed to watch.

Spoiler: God, She's hideous!

If you can't tell, I liked the original seasons best.

Oh God wat.

Characters start taking off their helmets in later seasons?! Blasphemy!

I watched and re-watched the first 5 seasons and really, the end of season five was about as good a conclusion as they were probably going to get. I ended up watching up to...I think season 9 or so and I just didn't like it as much. I liked the fight scenes sure but it just wasn't the same Red vs. Blue anymore. I actually still have those first five seasons on disc since it was easier for me to just watch them than struggle with their website (that was late 2000's...I'd probably be fine now)

Blood Gulch for sure. I think there's a reason I stopped watching once they got sent forward a bit and things were different. But, I recently got back into it and watched it all over again. I liked the silly, stupid antics they got into when fighting each other in BGC. Now, I'm not gonna shit on the rest of the series for going a different route. While I didn't like wasting time being in Church's mind, I rather liked seeing the rest of the freelancers doing their thing. Retrieving stuff, working with the Meta before he went insane, and pretty much all of the newer stuff. While it wasn't nearly as funny, I was interested in the story, and thought it had some good stuff going for it.

Not having to deal with blurry quality and borders was also nice, despite BGC being my fave part of the series. I also really like the CGI and additions they made to the fight scenes. And the music... Don't get me started with the music. Blood bumping action scenes with lovely music crafted for the scene itself. Very nice stuff.

BGC will always be my fave, and while the series had a few low points, I think it's still good stuff and I look forward to future episodes

My personally favorite has to be the Chorus arc, it had a great balance between drama and comedy(and the comedy was great) and Felix and Locus were great as villians. I also loved the development between the Feds and the New
