User blog comment:Western Gen/Speculations for Season 14/@comment-1886172-20160515200602

Hey all, a pretty old member here. I think I'm still an administrator of the site? The point is, I have a question and it does pertain to Season 14 a little bit. Now maybe I'm just biased due to having watched this series since it's origins in Blood Gulch over 11 years ago but is the newer stuff less good? I mean from a production standpoint obviously the show has increased in value significantly, but what about the show itself? I did enjoy the Chorus trilogy while it was coming out, but rewatching it, the trilogy and Season 9 and parts of 10 feel weird to me. I don't think that it's the shake up in the characters, because when I think of what would be "core" Red vs. Blue I think of both Blood Gulch and Recollections. I am enjoying this Season 14 as well, or at least I enjoyed the first episode and am anticipating the second! How much of this is hype though for new content? I'm not entirely sure if I'm being honest, because as I said rewatching through Seasons 9-13 it just felt completely different. I don't have the same fondness and nostalgia for them.

Then again this could be said for RoosterTeeth as a company, over the past few years they've definitely lost my attention completely. While they were once one of my favorites I feel they sold out and I just don't enjoy all of their content like I used to. I used to watch everything that came out, but now I only watch Red vs. Blue and that amazing Season 2 to Strangerhood.

Anyway, back to the point of this, does anyone agree with me? And if not then I'd certainly love to have a discussion about why I feel this way, no bashing don't worry. I just want to know why I can't look back on 9-13 the way I do the older stuff. I mean with 11-13, as good as they are, the change in writing does play a part. Or perhaps it's the departure of a character who acts like Alpha Church, as starting in Season 9 it becomes very apparant that Epsilon-Church is becoming it's own person. Or maybe it's just that the aging of the core RoosterTeeth members is becoming apparent as they try to stay alive as the times change. Like I said just let me know how you guys feel and I'd be happy to reply, though I probably won't log in daily to see as this website isn't one of my priorities like it was years ago.
