 **Red VS Blue** is a Texan [[lb:Halo]] [[lb:machinima]] webseries about two groups of soldiers – the <span smcp>Reds</span> and the <span smcp>Blues</span> – who are locked in an eternal war until they aren't. Despite being listed second, the **Blues** are the more important faction for the story overall.
 I first found <cite>RvB</cite> on [[lb:Netflix]], when I was in a <cite>Halo</cite> mood. Seeing the ‘Halo helmet’, I decided to start watching it...only to be shocked by the fact it was a machinima, so I stopped watching it. But I ended up getting curious so, much later, I went ahead and watched it. And then I saw everything up to the latest season (which was Season 12 at the time).

-Besides these issues, there's also an under-utilization or just odd use of characters. <dfn>Tex</dfn> <mark spoiler>– or at least the original Tex – ends up just falling out of the story. It isn't even super clear that she died as part of the EMP as it is for Church and a few others. It could be argued that she had a proper end in Season 9, but that //wasn't// Tex, that was <dfn>Epsilon!Tex</dfn>. Seasons 9 & 10 actually make this much worse, because they go out of their way to elaborate on more details...which means that, retroactively, minor characters were made more important with the implication they'd go on to do more...which they couldn't, because a lot of them were simply //dead//.

 This was definitely noticed because <dfn>Kakaina Grif</dfn> was missing from the series until Season 15 (?) and other characters like <dfn>Sheila</dfn> also just disappeared.

 I mostly don't have an issue with Season 14, with a few exceptions. I don't like the episodes that show the assembling of the crew in Blood Gulch...though, don't get me wrong, I have no problem with //most// of the content there. What bothers me is that a lot of the characters (prior to Blood Gulch) are depicted as having killed people. I can’t articulate exactly why this bothers me, but I don't think it meshes well with what we know about the Reds and the Blues.
+==== Restoration ====
+I forgot to write the review for several months, but I think it should be fine.
+The film is...not great, honestly. I am actually quite disappointed with how it went, though I can see how it got this way. It's very clear that they had run out of time to do it right, but they still tried. It's frustrating that they couldn't have done it better, but there isn't really anything else that can be done about it.
+If it were done properly, it probably would have been a really good ending to the series. As it stands, I can’t really say it was the most coherent or that it was particularly funny. Not all of the voice actors returned too, so some characters also just sound weird.
+It's a shame, but that is how RvB ends, I guess.

 It's clear that [[lb:rvb:Project Freelancer]] is a rival organization to the Spartan-II and Spartan-3 programs.
