It was supposed to be a season rather than a movie. Small nitpick, but you were asking. Blame greed as it was slated to be an entire season until the plug was pulled and everyone was questioning if it would even be finished or released.
@@Kalina47It is definitely respectful. Perfect? Definitely not. But if you don’t think Restoration was made with genuine love then you’re just being melodramatic
Memory is the key. Memory has always been the key. It’s why we never stop pushing forward, it’s why we never truly say goodbye, and it’s why we are all here. I wish nothing but the best for all of you reading this. Be well, be happy!!
Griff saying the blues seemed like decent dudes seems like a huge understatement considering how they all pretty much became family after chorus. Kinda weird that it ends with less than half of the major cast. I especially miss donut considering he was there since I think episode 3 right? Just doesnt show up at all
"Don't say goodbye, I hate good byes" I'm gona cry in a corner now. Thank you Rooster teeth for existing and giving us Red vs Blue, I'm gona miss all of you guys. Here's to hoping for a continuation.
No. There won’t be a continuation. The series is over and that’s a good thing. It’s sad but sometimes things have to end otherwise they get worse and worse until they become a shadow of themselves.
I’m going to miss this show it was genuinely funny, unfortunately rooster teeth was led astray and what happened they were shut down but they gave us years of funny entertainment
sure it was on budget problems but they made a complete send of to the series and it made me cry. i discovered them around season 4 of red vs blue and been following their content since well until they started to get all these new people and gavin wasnt there i felt kinda like a newcomer looking into a whole new company.
I will always remember the hype of RTX 2013-14 and how RWBY was starting up and RVB was super popular. The hype of seeing new stuff for the show. The RT immersion stuff with the Warthog. Good times.

I'm not even mad honestly. Yes, it wasn't a good season, but we all hated it together. In the end, the show ended, and we all said goodbye to the franchise, to the good, to the bad, to the mid. Everything.
Honestly I loved there were nods to the post-Chorus stuff, Dylan Andrews showing up with Sister at the beginning, Atlas Arcadius Rex's helmet probably being in the trophy room and even One showing up were a nice touch.
@@nickmiller9910well burnie clearly felt different and thought people should "stop being an asshole for once". Think it means alot that the person who would have the most reason to dislike zero more than anyone would still want it acknowledged
What a fitting end, to a very beloved series lemme tell you that much, also this being the last time we're ever gonna see that RT Animation title card, how fitting it ended with the series it began with and with one little line "Hey" "Yeah" "You ever wonder why we're here?"
joel was great but the new guy did a great job, he probably also loves rvb and I dont think he deserves the hate. I like joel more but michael did a great job.
Red versus blue is over. It may have had vudget restraints, and it may be short. But even with all of its flaws, it gives the feeling that seasons 13 ending actually meant something, and finally it ends the same way rooster teeth has, everybody goes their seperate ways.
I went into RvB in an odd way. I discovered Season 2 first at Gamestop on dvd and got it just cause, then actually watched it in the correct order in time for season 3 and from there I was hooked. Sadly I'm one of those who technically dropped out before Freelancer, satisfied with Church and Tex getting trapped in the storage unit. I kept watching, but that's where it ended for me. And like many of us, it got unbearable to watch. So I watched Restoration thinking I was biting the bullet just to have closure from the original creators and honestly while it was off in a few spots, it hit *enough* of right notes that made me glad I watched it.
This wasn’t the perfect ending, nor was it made in the best circumstances, but considering all that’s happened to this series, missteps after missteps, I think this is the best that could’ve happened. Goodbye RvB, it was a nice ride
Who says it is? Perhaps it's yet another simulation being ran by Church. There's enough ambiguity to suggest it is. Bernie made it so you can decide what you prefer.
That End Credits is amazing btw which is similar to season 10’s ending which is ironic cause after 10 Burnie stepped down from the show but this final season he comes back for the final season to write it and did another Season 10 style Credits it’s a shame Michael ik you were Caboose this season but I kinda wished they still credit Joel for voicing him for years it sucks that Dan Godwin and his character couldn’t be in there also why didn’t they put Doc in with Sarge’s column credits cause Matt also voiced him as well and the soundtrack was cool as well and what’s interesting they actually used a soundtrack from every composer that did soundtrack for this series so Trocadero Barenaked Ladies Jeff Williams David Levy and Omega Sparxxx give credit for them that made this series awesome for their music
"Roses are red, violets are blue. One day we'll cruse down bloodgultch avenue. It's red vs red, and blue vs blue, It's me against I and, me against you..."
Yep, I saw your upload and then decided to a version with the credits included/post credits scene a few hours later. I had just caught a cold so that gave me plenty of free time to put everything together haha
It's heartwarming that they gave Simmons the promotion and he as Caboose are staying in the canyon but literally they found out in season 8 that they were pulled from the army and put into these mock battles just to test the freelancers. They have no reason to stay out there, the red and blue armies all had the same command and that command (Freelancer) has been gone, so theres no reason for the armies to even exist anymore. Does that mean Simmons reports to the UNSC? Why would he never return to Earth? Are he, Caboose, Tucker, Carolina and Wash all drafted into the real UNSC army now? I gotta know how this power structure works after the fall of Freelancer.
Probably doesn't count since they weren't really promoted through legitimate means through the unsc and it was just a title for a rebel army on a planet with no unsc presence
Seasons after 13 weren't real, all of them are simulations church did before sacrificing himself to power Tucker--It was the only way for him to make sure the Reds and Blue live after Chorus--basically those seasons were just "what if this or that happened"
@@Digital-1823 That said, they also raise the possibility that this season is, itself, a simulation. It's possible that neither version of events happened. I'm not 100% convinced Epsilon ever actually made it out of the memory unit back in Season 9, honestly.
The Meta was stated to have downloaded data from the Staff of Charon, giving him access to Felix's "data". I think whenever The Meta speaks, you can faintly hear Felix's voice alongside Tucker's.
@@Dylan-xx2tk The Meta was also voiced by Miles Luna, with Felix being his most prominent role - it's more of a sendoff for the actor than the character. Maine proper almost never spoke, and Elijah Wood didn't return as Sigma so it kind of makes sense to use that image.
Honest take: This wasn't a great finale to the series. There is A LOT wrong with it. But compared to how Season 17 ended (and fuck Zero) it was the best ending we could've asked for.
not a great sendoff at all, but with the budget, and the closing of their company, I feel it's a respectful and good way to end the series despite everything. Sarge Died in battle like he wanted to, doc died saving a life, donut is an admiral who FINALLY gets recognition (something they explored when they went down with the shisno shit) and grif got to go home, everyone got what they wanted and their character arcs came to a close
@@Hedspaces Wait whaaat? I don't remember Doc dying. Did he get crushed by the falling rocks? That's the last time I remember seeing him. They kinda glossed over it. But I guess that's what Wash was feeling guilty about. Edit: Nope. Doc didn't die lmao
@@AlejoConejo-vb8ln Doc died offscreen. His appearance in Restoration is just a hallucination by Wash, it's why none of the other characters really react to his presence or anything he says. It's also alluded to earlier during one of Wash's first scenes. I forget the exact words, but either him or Doc says something about guilt haunting people on the battlefield and causing lasting hallucinations.
If only rwby was patched up like this. Tho i do admit i have no idea nor any suggestions that i consider good for rwby after 1st trilogy , i dont think anyone does
@@manwithoutmercy I dont listen to othr ppl its how i feel personally, ever since season 4 it felt little less unqiue story wise is one reason. Plus other things to consider. Monty Rwby Blake to Ozpin shes from what sounded like the very edges and dangerous place in what ever that Kingdom was. Post Monty(RIP) blake lives in big house owned by her parents who where menagerie leaders
I’m pretty sure there was way more to this movie that likely would’ve been there had it gotten its chance to be a full on season of episodes. It was honestly some of the worst RvB content I’ve ever seen. Wash arbitrarily had a character arc shoved in during the last five minutes, Carolina wasn’t even a character, Tucker got barely any screentime and we don’t even actually SEE how he got corrupted. Doc gets killed offscreen, they allude to RvB Zero actually happening after the events of this movie which invalidates its existence, the action was okay at best, the animation and editing honestly looked worse than ever before. Everything felt super rushed since, again, I imagine a LOT had to be cut to make the 85 minute run time so everything is super rushed. NO character got a satisfying ending or conclusion except for Grif, they rehashed the OTHER two scenes where Tex and Church meet as AIs in the memory unit for a hollow payoff with literally no setup, Donut wasn’t even IN the damn thing, THEY KILLED DOC OFFSCREEN I CAN’T GET OVER THIS It honestly really sucks how my favourite series ever had to go out like this. It really fucking hurts.
If the audio is quiet, please enable subtitles. I put them together myself. I plan to reupload a higher quality version of this video in the future.
A respectful ending to a wonderful series that almost got destroyed by corporate greed.
“Respectful” lmao

It ends just the way it began. With the question that started it all.

Kinda weird that it ends with less than half of the major cast. I especially miss donut considering he was there since I think episode 3 right? Just doesnt show up at all
He's credited as "Admiral Donut" so he got a promotion it seems.
Probably stayed on Chorus or sum like that
Perfect send off, it ends with the same song in season 1's credits. Vale deah - Trocadero
I knowwww i used to listen to that album all the time so when Vale Deah started, I wanted to cry :’)
Also the opening lyrics fit Grif and Simmons pretty well lol
Red vs Blue Restoration is officially the Ed Edd N Eddy’s Big Picture Show of web animation
You mean being one of the longest running Machinima similar to how Ed Edd n Eddy was one of the longest running Cartoon Network show?
@@Beau.Official That and just having a really satisfying finale
Shut up
"Don't say goodbye, I hate good byes"
I'm gona cry in a corner now. Thank you Rooster teeth for existing and giving us Red vs Blue, I'm gona miss all of you guys.

The bartender says it's okay...
My middle and high school years wouldn't have been the same without these idiots.
Rest In Peace Rooster Teeth.
So glad they used Vale Deah, it was always kind of a black sheep on that album for not having some big moment associated with it. Not anymore
"Red vs blue" are not gone. They're just not here right now
no like they're gone for good, rooster teeth shut down
That final shot of Grif walking away with Trocadero in the background is what broke me.
Good times.
I'll always revisit RvB.
I’m going to miss this show it was genuinely funny, unfortunately rooster teeth was led astray and what happened they were shut down but they gave us years of funny entertainment
sure it was on budget problems but they made a complete send of to the series and it made me cry. i discovered them around season 4 of red vs blue and been following their content since well until they started to get all these new people and gavin wasnt there i felt kinda like a newcomer looking into a whole new company.
It's never the end of an era, but more of a new beginning of a new era. Call it a perfect Red vs Blue transformation.
I remember first seeing Monty's animation for the first time, seeing the warthog breaking through the wall...god time does fly...
I will always remember the hype of RTX 2013-14 and how RWBY was starting up and RVB was super popular. The hype of seeing new stuff for the show. The RT immersion stuff with the Warthog.
Good times. Before RT went down a path that would soon cause them to reach an end.
I’ll miss these colorful bastards
Being bought by WB is what ultimately sealed their fate. The rest is but prologue but I'm thankful for all the RvB content they made over 21 years.
@muigokublack6487 no people who worked there said that it was issues with them and loosing their uniqueness due to not trying or caring really any reality hit them when they got dropped because they weren't profitable anymore due to that
Was said by a ex worker of them
goodbye forever
I hate goodbyes
We all hate goodbyes. 😢
Bow Chica Bye Now.
Omg it ended exactly like I tought it would end and it makes it even better I legitimately cried.
Didn't want to fully retcon the Zero characters. Makes sense, it would come off fully malicious to have the Zero cast just not exist.
I'm not even mad honestly. Yes, it wasn't a good season, but we all hated it together.
In the end, the show ended, and we all said goodbye to the franchise, to the good, to the bad, to the mid. Everything.
Honestly I loved there were nods to the post-Chorus stuff, Dylan Andrews showing up with Sister at the beginning, Atlas Arcadius Rex's helmet probably being in the trophy room and even One showing up were a nice touch.

Honestly my only complaint is that we didn’t get one final Scene with the remaining crew just sort of chilling
Caboose sounds so weird. It sucks they could bring Joel back for one final hurrah.
It's been 5 years since Joel been fired and the new guy only played him 5 times and it still ain't feel right.
joel was great but the new guy did a great job, he probably also loves rvb and I dont think he deserves the hate. I like joel more but michael did a great job.
From what I've heard, he doesn't want anything to do with rooster teeth related stuff.
True, but I can take it here in restoration his grief was affecting Caboose’s voice. He starts to sound more like Joel as it goes on for me at least.
Do not blame RT or the crew of Restoration for Joel not returning though. That was 100% Joel. He was invited and declined
After 21 years it's over. Man, i wonder if anyone will ever be successful and beat rvb in most years of being a running web series. I'll miss it
I do see new Halo machinima popping up every now and then, but most seem to drop off after a few months.
It’s been fun
Beautiful ending to a great series. I hope it will inspire more people to create their own stories.
God damn dude I grew up to this shit
:(
I can tell that they are all smiling.

There are no words, this season was simply fantastic( cabooses voice not withstanding)
1:05 the last good "you ever wonder why we're here" that actually hit. felt like we had a streak of bad uses of it. After the clone moment.
I'm gonna miss them. There was laughter, there was sadness and more importantly they were a family.
21 years of shenanigans, bow chikka bow wows, suck it blues and others. Bye RVB it’s been one helluva ride.
I hope they can make something in the Red vs Blue timeline later in life like in the future would be cool
To be honest... I hope they won't. Just leave it here. All good things must have an end, and this is the final stop for rvb
Goodbye guys, it was a hell of a ride
“Bow-chicka-bye-now.”
The very last line said in the series. 😢
0:19 eh I think we can live with that some of the Zero characters exist as long that storyline doesn’t happen 😖
Till we meet again, soldiers. Never say goodbye. 🫡
You know, a simple person in this scenario would ask
“What happens next?”
Me, I got nothing to ask, I got what I came for, and I’m not disappointed
Its poetic...
The location and the characters that kicked off the series...
Would be the ones to end the series where it began 🥺😭💔
This wasn’t the perfect ending, nor was it made in the best circumstances, but considering all that’s happened to this series, missteps after missteps, I think this is the best that could’ve happened. Goodbye RvB, it was a nice ride
I am going to miss this 😢
RIP monty i wish you could've seens this
I'm gonna miss RVB
Thank you, Monty Oum!!!
Started with the first episode, ended where the first episode started.
Ever wonder why we're here? This is why
To me, I think the Reds and Blues become more than a team, they become a family.
Farewell Rooster Teeth 🫡
End of a all rooster teeth rvb
so gald they ended it was getting so aonny with the milking of RVD Glad to see it end finally but kinda sad we didn't get the right ending
