Red vs. Blue: Restoration

Red Vs Blue has been something in my life since I first saw it more than a decade ago. When I started watching, season 9 was well under way and by the time I finished what was already out, season 11 was about to begin. As someone who has loved this show through and through for as long as I have been able to love a show realistically, I can confidently say that this is a nice and simple sendoff for the series. It does absolutely nothing exceptionally, it isn't profound or exceptional or especially creative, but it does everything right. It almost feels more like I'm back at Blood Gulch again after what, twelve years away? With all the setup and elaboration and twists and turns behind us, this is a very nice place to leave. It feels like they either didn't have time to write a better script or didn't care to, and that feels okay somehow. This is exactly how I would have wanted it to go. So long to the reds and the blues.

Exclusive use of CG has run amok. This episode is the culmination of (arrgh) a fourteen year run.

The very young, from Gen Z onward, is clearly why it was so successful; excuse me if I think that far better fare is disappearing. Transformers was far better than this bunk.

Cartoons should have stayed cartoons! CG saves the need to pay real actors, saves much money, and regretfully, has increased far too much.

If this is the future of "entertainment" than home theater has become a huge waste of money.

Some CG is inevitable; and proper use has been a plus, but this an isolated example of what serves as a grim reminder of the effluent pumped out as entertainment.
