So I started watching this on a whim

season five?

i mean i know that's probably just your opinion, and not the general consensus, but i mean, clearly people must have just eaten this stuff up for there to be more than one season, let alone five of them

2008 is also pretty early for machinima i guess

True Turquoise · March 21, 2015, 04:38:45 PM

Yeah theres 12 of them.

.... 12

People like it.
You don't say.

what is the appeal

at what point does it "get good"

It's appeal is something that obviously isn't aimed at you.

Season 5 was the good stuff.

It started out crap and its turned to crap.

The seasons using Halo 2 are the best

Coco · March 21, 2015, 04:57:25 PM

Well it "gets good" because it started out as something that 5 or so guys did in their free time out of boredom, and turned into something they quit their jobs over and built a company around. It's also more appreciated by people that appreciate Halo.

Then it stopped getting good. And then it got pretty good for 3-5 minute action sequences and nothing else. And then it got pretty bad again.

Well there's a successful company and a convention because of what you linked, so something is special about it.

It's kind of like abstract art. Any third grader can throw paint at paper and call it art but the first person to find "deeper" meaning in it is worth millions.

Being in the right place at the right time with the right idea I suppose.

Naoto · March 21, 2015, 06:01:02 PM

First handful of seasons were good stuff. Once they started the freelancer stuff it got shit. Stopped watching years ago.

Otherwise this is just another 'verb hates x' thread.

After Halo 1 is pretty good. I've always enjoyed the series, though, except until the CGI crap started.

Girl of Mystery · March 21, 2015, 06:23:58 PM

It was good, then it was bad when it used a lot of CGI, then it got okay when it wasn't so heavily CGI based.

I think it was 9, the full CGI episodes.

Yeah I skipped that.

A Cheese Potato · March 21, 2015, 06:38:52 PM

Yeah I don't get it either

CyberGama · March 21, 2015, 06:40:13 PM

It's a pretty "meh" series, i don't know why it's popular.

Comet · March 21, 2015, 07:08:59 PM

first 5 seasons are all you need. everything after is pointless. the fights are fine though.

Verbatim · March 21, 2015, 07:25:36 PM

i mean, i don't actually plan on continuing to watch it or nothing
from what i can tell, it's a comedy series, and i don't really care much for comedy series

i'd rather watch something i can actually take something out of

Luciana · March 21, 2015, 07:59:36 PM

It's 2015

how the hell do you not know what Red vs Blue is?

Oh

well reading all the comments, I'll throw in my onions.

Decent comedy show that shoulda ended at season 10. Had its moments

Vastly overrated.

Tackel · March 21, 2015, 08:32:41 PM

This was one of the first machinimas, to people watched it a lot. As well, it's captive audience was like 10 year olds.

Korra · March 21, 2015, 09:39:09 PM

It gets darker in Seasons 6, 7 and 8.
