User blog:Agent Maroon78/Best Moments

This is my second blog, but I really want to try out something here. This page is the list of the best, saddest, most action packed moments in Red vs Blue. I really want to discuss them and maybe create a voting page in the future, but until then, I'm just going to list some of the best moments/episode in my opinion.

'''BEST MOMENT OVERALL: The Last quarter in Season 10. '''While this only happened recently, I can't help but just revolve around it. During this time, the Reds and Blues relationship was truly tested, but in the end they stuck up for one another, solved their problems, and became "friends".

SADDEST MOMENT: Change of Plans. Despite how sad C.T. was, what happened in Change of Plans was truly heart breaking. Church ultimately explains all his problems and sees the teams as simply that: a problem. This hurt everyone in that area, and you know you fucked up if even Caboose isn't willing to help or join you. Church even tries to say he's sorry but nothing could be taken back. Unlike C.T,. we knew these characters from the start, we developed a connection to them on their adventures and goals, but Church nearly destroyed that and it hurt, not to mention that Outpost Sunset really adds to tone in this episode.

'''FUNNIEST JOKE: Grif's relationships. '''While it's not really a joke, it makes me laugh. How come Grif, possibly the character with the worst relationships, sticks around? I'll never know but his interactions with Sarge and Simmons are what made the tone of Red vs Blue when it started. We could tell that it wasn't going to be action packed (at first) when we saw how he inteacted with Sarge with the Warthog/Puma and how he bickers with Simmons. Overall, Grif made the tone of Blood Gulch Chronicles.

BEST CHARACTER: Simmons. Although not the main character overall, he is in my eyes, the main character of the Reds. Through the seasons, he seems to only be a weak nerd who hates his team like anyone else, but as time passes, he shows a great care for his team and shows how much skills he has. Not only was he able to kill 3 freelancers (Wyoming, Meta, Tex or Tex drones) his intellegence has saved the teams themselves. In Season 3, he unites the Reds and Blues; in Reconstruction, he hacked into Freelancer data files and deleted the blues, allowing Caboose to resurect Church later on; and in Revelation, Sarge admits that command would have given him a dozen teams to lead, to which I translated as Sarge admitting that Simmons is a better leader. I also discovered that I myself have many similarites with Simmons and that out of everyone Simmons is possibly the most human character which we can relate to. Don't get me wrong Wash, Church, and even the Meta are complex and well done characters, but Simmons got the complexity along with the simplisity.

'''BEST ACTION SCENE: Freelancer Break-in tied with The Reds and Tucker vs Meta. '''It's clear that after seeing the Warthog crash into Washington, we would get some grade A action CGI. Monty does a excellent job in these scenes as all can be debately be better then the other. However the fight with The Reds and Tucker facing the Meta was amazing. Not only were the "simulation" troopers not facing the most powerful villian in Red vs Blue, they WON. It clearly shows how much they've improved from being 10th percentile to Freelancer leveled fighters. The Freelancer Break-in had been mentioned several times before being shown and it doesn't disapoint. The fight scene between rival agents was exciting and surprising (despite not seeing North vs South). It also explains a whole lot of the events that occured afterward. I was tempted to include the scene in True Colors, but I think that these scenes managed it better overall.

'''BEST SONG: Red vs Blue (OST) tied with Now That We've Come So Far. '''I love every song from Trocadero and Jeff Williams. It was hard to decide which son was the best and still is, as I remebered Terminate, Blood Gulch Blues, Colors, The More and several others that made me just be in awe of the songs. But if there is a song that will make me now think of Red vs Blue to the day I die, it's Red vs Blue and We've Come So Far. Both songs fit perfectly in the end of each Season/Saga they are played in and are catchy as hell. Both songs caputre the ending of the seasons, the teams wondering why they are there to them coming so far and having gone on the greatest adventure yet, with possibly nothing topping it. In the end these songs are my Blood Gulch Blues.
