such a tiny and insignificant thing to me and the one thing that stuck out to me in restoration was not only did simmons get injured and stay injured, but using sarge’s shotgun with one arm and the attention to that detail where he shoots and reloads it without the use of his damaged arm (strong ass shoulders first off, hello? that boy can take a recoil like NOTHING). idk just made me… happy? (…seen?) as someone who periodically loses the use of their arm quite frequently

Here's the version without the title text overlaid.

[emelbulovesrvb]

why did they split up grimmons. why is simmons staying in blood gulch when he has no reason to stay. he has NO TEAM. HE BECAME RED LEADER ONLY TO END UP WITH NO TEAM?? AND HES COOL WITH THAT?? 😭😭😭😭

hello rvb community

I wish we got to see Carolina and Wash with the Reds and Blues more post season 13. It feels like they're constantly being kept from their family. They're the most fun when they're with everyone and they can still have their more serious moments.

Idk, the scene in 15 where we find out what they've been up to on Iris and when Wash is goofing with the rest of in 17 with the swords were some of my favorite moments. UGHHHH

WHAT WAS THE POINT OF SEPERATING WASH FROM EVERYONE! Let him have his support system and worry about his friends when they're in trouble. I would have killed to see Wash fight Meta!Tucker. He's part of the reason Tuckers a better fighter. Having to defend himself from his own moves that he taught Tucker.

It felt like they really wanted to give us Wash angst but also were worried that having him part of the main story would mean that he would be too strong to lose. Especially if Carolina was also there.

here are some "quick" rvb restoration thoughts before i go to bed that i may expand upon later, in no particular order:

this movie was ABOUT tucker but tucker is not in it. there is a tucker sized hole. we see tucker only a little bit more than we see donut, but tucker is still there the whole time!!! at the beginning, i was excited for the tucker whump, but does it count if not a single character reacts to the truly horrifying news that their friend has been controlled for a few months by eight or nine ais, at least two of which have tried to kill him and everyone you love before? like even if they had retconned red and blue teams being friends (which they didn't), you're telling me that we never get to see wash's reaction to this news? carolina's? two people who lost a different friend to this exact gruesome process of de-personing? no one ever tells carolina that tucker is in there and no one objects when tex goes to fucking decapitate him? like i get that caboose was the only person to see that tucker was actually still in there, and he can't really be trusted to communicate things clearly, but they could have even just included some sort of discussion where they decide that they think that tucker would rather be dead than be dragged along in this parody of life (and with the way the ais were torturing him, he probably would have agreed.)

speaking of caboose knowing that tucker is still in there - grif and simmons abandoning caboose rubbed me SO wrong. usually if a character is trying not to involve themselves, they'll "run away" to the nearest place to hide, not GET ON A SHIP TO FLY AWAY LEAVING CABOOSE TO DIE AT POSSESSED TUCKER'S HANDS. i get why they (the writers) did it, but that doesn't mean i have to like it lol

why weren't they FRIENDS ANYMORE

where was donut

what was that wash b-plot. what did the wash b-plot add?? what it did: make me feel weird about dr. grey's character, kill doc off screen, and make wash useless in the main plot. what it did not do: make sense. when did wash get injured post chorus? why is he hallucinating, period? why was he institutionalized? (and why is the room number the same as his prison number?) why did they spend so much time on it for it to have no real conclusion? they didn't need to have this weird "wash is hanging onto the past via doc" plot to have the carolina-wash-freelancer ghost heart-to-heart. (also i have never laughed so hard as when i saw the post pointing out that they left wyoming out bc neither my friend or i noticed lol) why wouldn't he know there was a manual way to activate the recovery beacon since he was LITERALLY recovery one? so many questions, no answers. what have you done to my boy, burnie.

the pacing was ATROCIOUS. nothing happened for the first half of the movie, a bunch of stuff happened in the second half, and none of it felt resolved.

where was donut

why was everyone separated at the beginning? why was no one worried about it? where was donut? where was carolina? why was no one worried about where tucker was? had caboose been the lone blue for the few months that tucker was gone and wash was hospitalized? genuinely, my friend and i thought that the reds and caboose had been mind wiped and dropped into their undisclosed locations without knowing why, and the plot was gonna be them all reuniting and piecing together what had happened and getting tucker back. alas.

it felt like it was the grif-simmons-caboose show, which was interesting because that's not a problem i feel like i've had before with this show. even if i saw less of a particular character than i wanted to. they usually have a pretty good balance of characters and this movie felt like they suddenly Realized how many characters they had and fumbled it.

i did actually really like the tex reveal that was BOSS i LOVED IT

i have more thoughts but this is far too long already so i'll save it for later lmao

I present: Topaz being jealous because she thinks that numby likes ratio but numby is actually just an aventio fan

Tucker : I made tea.

Wash: I don't want tea.

Tucker : I didn't make you tea. This is my tea.

Wash: Then why did you tell me?

Tucker : It's a conversation starter.

Wash: It's a horrible conversation starter.

Tucker : Oh, is it? We're conversing. Checkmate.
