now i may not have been in the rvb fandom for very long but i’ve picked up on a few things and i got something i gotta say
i don’t know how people can hate on the shisno paradox arc
yes i understand it may deviate from what the previous few seasons were all about, they were more serious while this concept is just. kinda silly. but in the end you have to remember, rvb is a comedy. it’s not going to be serious all the time and that statement isn’t just confined to the jokes. it’s gonna have funny scenarios that are wacky and seemingly out-of-place. bc that’s how comedy works.
also it really gives us some very good insight into the characters. why they are the way that they are, what drives them toward their goals, how they view themselves and those around them. s17 episodes 11 and 12 are just. *chef’s kiss*. they make me stim so hard because you really get to see what they’re all afraid of, and how they go about comforting one another really tells a lot. the interaction between grif and kai specifically hits the specific part of my brain that makes me lose my shit /pos. ALSO ARE WE LITERALLY JUST GOING TO IGNORE DONUT GETTING MASSIVE DEVELOPMENT??? LIKE????????
and from a storyline standpoint, at least another season after 15 was necessary. 15 ended on a cliffhanger, we were never given a resolution knowing that everyone was going to be okay because we never saw that wash would be. the ending of singularity/s17 is one of the reasons why i refuse to watch rvb zero: it wraps the entire story up so nicely. everyone’s alive and well, the world isn’t in any imminent danger, and the villains are taken care of. the reds and blues can finally rest.
so yeah, s16/17 are good if you ask me. i do understand why people might not like them, and they’re entitled to their own opinions. but like... you can’t ignore the fact that we were really given some very good things in those seasons.
