That may have been the inspiration to put them in this Civil War, but I don't think it was an inspiration for their characters as a whole, since they made them up 14 years ago. So even if they put them in serious situations, they're still just a bunch of useless idiots. I know that kinda "the point" was to show that against all odds they could still do it... but I NEVER doubted wether they could do it or not. Why? Because they're the fucking Reds and Blues! RT has confirmed time and time again that they're gonna make more RvB, so if all the Reds and Blues die, then we don't have a show! These guys have an uncanny level of plot armor, and I was never concerned with their well-being because I knew that of course they'd fucking do it. They have to do it. They're the Reds and Blues. They can do anything. Even if they lose, it's only temporary, because in the end they'll always win. But that doesn't mean I have to like all of them.
