Re: Sorry, but... RvB has ALWAYS been over the top

In Response To: Sorry, but... RvB has ALWAYS been over the top. (mattroe)


: Season one, Church dies and comes back as a ghost. (I know that he's now been
: established as an AI, but at the time, RT had written him as a ghost. It
: was over the top and unrealistic.)

: Season two, Sarge turns Simmons into a robot.

: Season three, they travel forward in time by hundreds of years. (Again, see
: my note in brackets for season one). Church creates hundreds of clones.
: Also -- Caboose. That's all that needs to be said.

: Season four, Tucker becomes pregnant with an alien.

: Season four/five, a ship lands on Donut and he survives. Wyoming has a time
: machine and creates hundreds of clones. Grif gets shot countless times in
: the head and survives.

: I could go on, but I think my point is clear. Whether you like the CGI scenes
: or not, them being over the top doesn't seem like a valid argument. Over
: the top is what RvB is all about. It's Halo on drugs.

This was going to be my argument but you beat me to it!

RvB has always been crazy. The focus was never on action because there was no way for them to do it; the game mechanics don't really work well for filming a fast-paced action scene. With Monty and the other animators they've hired they can now do these crazy action sequences. Just like the rest of RvB they are over the top.

I can understand someone saying that crazy action sequences like this are mind numbing (though I don't find them to be). What I can't understand is everyone saying that it's not RvB.

As an aside, at RTX last summer Burnie did mention that they made the decision to split the traditional machinima and the CG stuff partially to please as many fans as possible and partially to keep things more consistent in a sense. They chose different art directions because they are telling two different stories, though those stories will eventually meet at some common point.
