The Freelancer saga and chorus trilogy in my opinion are the best content RT has ever made. The idea for these plots and characters are so unique and it's amazing how they still managed to somewhat stay in Halo's lore but still make it believable.
First 13 seasons are the best
@@JoshSipes234 no shit
@@caseytaylor1570 sherlock
Low key think that chorus is probably one of the weaker seasons tbh.
@@williamnguyen8663 compared to the shizno paradox I think we can let them off the hook
I personally believe that the headaches Maine was having during Season 10 were a result of Sigma trying to gain control over Maine. Sigma wanted Maine to take all the AI, and Maine didn't like that, so Sigma hurt him. And the headaches suddenly stop when Maine finally becomes the Meta, because he's given in to Sigma's influence.
Maine wouldn't go down without a fight, he was taken by force
Worst part, he couldn't ask for help. His only means of communication...was Sigma
@@369destroyer it's not like he could have wrote it on a note pad or typed it on a computer, laptop or tablet.....
@@m.v.a.l7669 Yeah with an ambitious AI in his head I'm willing to bet Sigma had ways to prevent that
@@m.v.a.l7669technically he couldn’t do that either. Sigma would feasibly know what Maine planned well ahead of him actually being able to do it and could induce those head splitting migraines, making even such simple tasks infeasible, or even more drastically, engage an armor lock, not even giving him a chance to write or type anything it didn’t approve of. But that’s just a theory.
“To cover up agent Florida’s disappearance they sunk the state of Florida into the ocean” EruptionFang 2022
He’s said this line before. But again I still have no idea what he meant by this exactly lmao
@@denizakman7910 he meant exactly what he said. Project freelancer literally destroys the state, somehow.
@@r.cdahuman7682 personally I believe that the "sinking of florida" on the display was just a representation of butch no longer being agent florida. the idea that freelancer sunk florida may have fit in the earlier seasons, but by the freelancer trilogy, the story had taken a much more serious tone, and things making actual sense was of more importance than comedy.
@@caboose9843 honestly my reaction was just "... huh." When I saw it. I never really thought to much of it besides that and thinking that it's weird they have that much power. Though I think it does make more sense the way you say it, but counter point, the sinking of Florida might be why the unsc was so intent on getting everyone from the program, even to the point of killing legitimately innocent sim troopers.
@@caboose9843
Transcript from Season 14, Episode 3
McGruff: "Don't be ridiculous. Clearly, we're being sent to an underwater base. I'm perfect for the job sir. Was stationed at Fort Florida. Undersea pressure was enormous."
It seemed that this line solidified the idea that Florida was indeed flooded.
I love that York was picked for his lockpicking skills yet unless I'm wrong each time we see him lock picking in the show he sets the alarm off and can't get it🤣🤣
Hes great at the locks, he did get that vault lock in 15 seconds. He just sucks at alarms
Everyone is else is just even worse at lockpicking
Of all the "X is a failed Spartan" theories I've seen, Maine is at the top of my list. Listening to the Counselor's assessment of him in Season 13, it really seems like he comes from the same stock as Jorge or the Chief.
He thinks of himself solely in terms of being a soldier, never seems to even consider questioning an order from a superior, and yet sees his duty as a soldier as more than simply following orders. All of which was very much part of the S-II program's training regimine.
It's easy to imagine him being a recruit that suffered severe brain damage from the implantation process, and was deemed unfit for duty as a Spartan before being transferred to Freelancer.
Makes sense
He is supposedly much larger then other characters
@@ItsButterBean1020 and also physically stronger, not to mention that he survived extreme wounds
@@caboose9843 that’s true
@@caboose9843 It doesn't get more hardcore than not only surviving, but fighting after getting shot in the freaking neck 9 times.
@@MandalorianRevanShot in the neck 9 times, and then some
In that same fight he got Kicked off a building, Shot by a sniper rifle to the upper body, and hit by a truck
The best I can come up with to explain CT's artifact hunt is that Charon's little private security force wasn't exactly legal either, so them going public with her evidence would have potentially put them all under a lot of scrutiny.
So the artifact, being a Monitor, would probably contain a significant amount of valuable information that could be used as a bargaining chip. Kinda like Wash's situation later on.
It's also possible the Insurrection Leader had started to realize what kind of person HE was working for too, and wanted to find a way to get himself and his unit out from under Hargrove's thumb. Recall how CT said, "Make a deal with *us,* keep *us* out of prison."
Bit of a reach, sure, but much less so than any explanation I've come up with for the Blood Gulch Chronicles...
This is the best idea I've seen! But do you have a theory on why Carolina wanted it too? Because in the Freelancer Saga (Season 9 or 10, I forget which), when she led the crew to find CT's body (which turned out to be the Resistance Leader), she was looking for the Monitor body, and then got REALLY pissed when Caboose explained that they left it in a warehouse floor (after Church got himself a new human body, in Season 8).
I think Maine was easily manipulated because Maine didn’t have his own purpose in life he wanted a goal and sigma had a goal in life and was the AI of ambition that’s why he was given to Carolina she could resist his influence because she had her own goals in life
Considering York with Delta and North with theta, that makes sense as the two would click. Makes you wonder how different things would've been if Carolina had sigma like she was suppose to.
The Triplets took out so much of the mystique surrounding Freelancer and then we got the final nail in the coffin with most of the surviving Freelancers being killed by Temple in Season 15. It’s one of the reasons I am more than happy to view Season 13 as the end of the series.
To further add onto this, as someone whose been part of a writing collaboration since Season 10 ended that has focused on further Project Freelancer to its eventual downfall and the aftermath, Season 14 basically spat on the type of people that were meant to be in the program.
Sure in Seasons 9 and 10, Wash was a goofball, but he had the skill to see the mission through. The Triplets should’ve never been on Freelancer’s radar as potential recruits.
I wonder if the triplets were actually only accepted into the freelancer program as a test to see if sim troopers could actually become useful soldiers if given the chance. When that was proven to be a failure they were disposed of.
@@iainkilcar7463 and maybe that was the reason they survived and possibly got off the icy planet, just a thought.
@@iainkilcar7463 mean, there is the theory that Sister, Donut, and Jenkins are all Freelancer Washouts. That replacement list included Agent Hawaii, Agent Kansas, and Agent Georgia. Sister and Griff are Hawaiian, but Sister exhibits her unique ability to survive things that should’ve otherwise have killed her. Donut mentions his time in Kentucky working on farms, among his other activities, and is notorious for his insane accuracy for lobbing grenades. Jenkins? Well, when shown in those weird scenario flashback things his armor is shown to sport the same color and emblem as Georgia when we see him and had the same voice actor. With his failure with the jetpacks and likely destruction of a vital prototype, I wouldn’t be surprised if such a low ranking Freelancer also got the Triplet Treatment. While some might say “Is Caboose one?” Nah. He’s a moon-born/raised sim trooper who attended Harvard for his degree in engineering and only seemingly got dumber over time as a result of oxygen deprivation due to a damaged helmet. Even in the start of the Chorus arc we see his intelligence shine through as he reassembled a Mantis of all things, a fully functional one. While some might ask if he’s so smart why didn’t he repair Shelia, we got to remember he didn’t think of her so much as a machine, but as a person he liked and didn’t want to possibly harm her by trying to help her. Freckles he saw more as a pet that he wanted to help and tend to himself.
Good thing it's been soft retconned!
Carolina is one of the most tragic characters of RVB. A girl who grew up with memories of her parents together, her mothers death and how that death sent her dad spiraling in grief. She was there in his grief as he went father and father into obsession about bringing her back.
She entered the program to make him proud yet he never openly expressed his pride in her even when she pushed herself mentally and physically to become the best candidate all because that grief powered obsession to “get it right”.
That’s the tragedy, he couldn’t see that in his pursuit of bringing his true love back he was ignoring and traumatizing the best part of her left.
The final scene between the two is the icing on the sad cake. A man left with nothing but memories and regrets. He knows in the end of his many failures, he failed Allison, his program was a failure and he failed his daughter. He finally admits that his daughter was his greatest creation… a creation he failed.
This was RvB at its best, it had all the best writing when it came to humor, action and drama.
So sad the series fell from grace as it did and now it is coming to an end.
Kinda makes me wonder what it would be like if the freelancers ever encountered the Banished ?
They would etheir kill them and report them as covenant leftovers or would be overwhelmed and killed
The Banished would not live to tell.
@@GuardyKell The freelancers were not as powerful as the Spartan Vs nor have any of them ever been close to the level of luck Master Chief. Only one I could see putting a good fight is agent Maine while he is prime Meta (time distortion, bubble shields, etc).
TLDR the only soldiers Project Freelancer has capable of fighting the banished would be Maine (maybe Carolina).
no, I know how rvb kinda goes off the deep end in the later seasons but bear with me, we can make the assumption rvb zero takes place either before or during the events of halo 5, as there are no mention of the guardians or their influence throughout the later seasons
this means the banished forces are still limited to the ark
and its unlikely that freelancers encountered the banished before this while the war with the covenant was still going on as they werent a military force and never fought the covenant, they wouldnt be in a position to encounter the banished
the fact that even the director cant even identify the artifact as a huragok just shows his lack of awareness of the inner workings and history of the covenant
@@commandrubix239Maybe not in the same fashion Master Chief does where he soloes entire bases, but people like Agent Washington would still be a lot better than your normal Marine or ODST. Project Freelancer might accomplish similar results to MC in groups.
I always loved how Red vs Blue seems like it could fit in a corner in the Halo Universe, at least until Season 15+. I really wished Tex and Carolina could've had one last conversation that didn't end in spatting and having hissy fits. I also theorize that the reason Tex joined Wyoming in capturing Junior was because Project Freelancer was originally created to stop the Great War/Human-Covenant War. Alpha was getting tortured to try to find a way to stop it. Tex figured that using Junior to stop the war would save Alpha. So, ultimately, what felt like a betrayal at the end of Season 5 was actually supposed to be to save him.
Oh boy, as far as CT finding out about the unethical practices goes, she would go pretty nuts if she found out that this was virtually _nothing_ compared to the SPARTAN-II Program led by Doctor Halsey. Ironically, the Spartans are both polar opposite and better than Freelancers in almost every way. The Spartan Program was more unethical and gruesome, yet created more powerful and professional soldiers that would fight together and win against more overwhelming odds.
On the note of the Insurrection, I'm pretty sure there were never any actual Insurrectionists. All of the so-called Insurrectionists were actually either mercenaries, PMCs for Charon, or actual UNSC soldiers. I believe Project Freelancer was actually headed and funded by the likes of ONI from actual Halo canon, because that's exactly something ONI would do.
I find it kinda funny that, of all the Freelancers, Washington is the only one who was confirmed to have fought the Covenant considering how much of a innocent, mediocre klutz he was in his early history with Project Freelancer.
As a final note, Wyoming, Gamma, and Omega's plan to kidnap Junior and use him to manipulate the aliens is almost a 1-for-1 interpretation of what Operation Red Flag was in Halo canon, the main difference being the Spartans were supposed to capture a Prophet and use him as a bargaining chip instead of a manipulation tool.
I like the idea that the reason none of these freelancer technologies made their way into the unsc is due to the instability of both the augments and the AI fragments. spartans were much more valuable, so ONI couldn't risk one being taken down or manipulated by their own AI. freelancer tech was akin to some of the crazy aircraft designs from boeing and lockheed martin during the cold war: very effective, but either too inconsistent, too dangerous, too expensive, or just plain impossible
Wait what changed in S15? To me that seemed like it fit, it was 16 onwards that doesn’t
@@darthknuxward3220 the beginning of time travel is what really did it in for me. It can be used for some fun hijinks in most stories, but it has virtually no place in Halo's story, at least until Halo Infinite, where it was used extremely briefly
I think CT might have been an actual insurrectionist (or like thinking she was joining an actual insurrection). And maybe the core members too (Resistance Leader, and maybe the other core members like Sharkface, Sniper, Chain Guy & Girl, Sleeveless, Demoman, and Girlie), since they didn't have traditional standard issue armor like the rest of Charon's pirates and mercs, or the UNSC soldiers. I guess they could have been PMCs, but the Resistance Leader at least seemed like he truly believed in his cause, considering how he and Connie talked.
Edit: Oh yeah another thing about the insurrection stuff, what role did Rhee Sebiel play in that? Was he just one of Hargrove's office people? (he was the briefcase guy that they had to get during the same mission they found the big sarcophagus in during the Freelancer Saga flashback sequences)
@@Yoda_16358 their armor is ODST, something that still belongs to UNSC forces. They are the Helljumpers, the best of the best, just below Spartans in Halo lore. Actual Insurrectionists in Halo lore don't really have a uniform of any kind. All of their stuff is either stolen or ramshackled together. Also, Charon is a weapons manufacturer in RvB, so it makes sense that they align more with UNSC. Thus, I am still convinced they are either current or former UNSC soldiers.
The motherly admiration of Carolina from Tex never crossed my mind until you mentioned it!
Seeing RVB content makes me cry bro, even something like this is enough to get me a little emotional. Everything about Red vs Blue just reminds me of a time when things were better, happier.
Yeah……miss those days back in middle school watching this on Netflix.…😢
I still like the theory that Utah became caboose, due to the almost suffocation and caboose specifically saying he almost died from suffocation during one of the episodes
I really wish we'd gotten a season specifically just following Maine, his story is so tragic and I honestly loved every scene he was in
Something in the RVB Chorus trilogy about Agent Maine is that he didn’t want to be a monster, just human. He tried to point it out to the doctors by growling and pointing at his head to get Sigma out but they just thought he was complaining about the headaches. Maine didn’t want to what he did- so Sigma tried to erase Maine and substitute him with the Meta. There did seem to be a little bit of Maine left as he did hesitate to kill Agent Washington- but after that, Maine was gone
If only bro wrote something down 😭
@@leightongair9 I think he would have tried but Sigma world stop him
That’s 27 Agents accounted for.
18 listed in this video, 3 named Dead by the sims, 6 unnamed Dead by the sims. 27 total.
We still got 23 Agents left to be talked about. NEW SERIES FOLLOWING THEM AND THE REST OF PROJECT FREELANCERS PAST????
Maybe there were more Freelancers named after Canadian states 😂
@@TrangDB9 Canada doesn’t have states! We have provinces
@@Reapous oh I see. Well, then maybe German States, with some german accent for the agents 😂
Considering everything after season 13 has been de-canonized we have more freelancers to follow (plus Arizona is no longer dead so that’s a big plus for me)
@nikoclesceri2267 I'm glad I feel like season 13 was the perfect end to the show everything after is just what ifs to me stories to keep the legend alive
I like the idea that The Freelancer program destroyed an entire state (something that would definitely cause alarm and draw attention) in order to cover up the missing SECRET AGENT from their SECRET PROGRAM. Like no one inside would look at a map and be like “huh. Wasnt there a state there? And what happened to the guy thats been everywhere in the background?
17:20 I love how casual you mention sinking Florida
Ok did they actually sink the state of Florida? It was never clear to me?
@@stickthelanding4785 they do lmao, in a later season we see a view of earth from space and the Floridian peninsula is gone
I dont think that means they sunk Florida. They probably knew it sunk from global warming and decided on agent Florida. They didnt actually sink it. Thats absurd lol
I think it's a mac gun strike from mother of invention right?@novagilpatric3071
Keep the glory of this show alive
FOR THE EMPEROR
When I found out about this video, I thought "EruptionFang merged all his freelancer videos into one". Glad to see I was wrong.
This was a very interesting video. On par with *The Complete, Unabridged Timeline of Red vs Blue*.
Also, did you have a cold? You don't sound normal here.
Omg I've wanted something like this for forever! Thank you Eruptionfang!!! I didn't even know about Delaware and Alabama!
I’m pretty sure what happened with Maine would have happened with anyone **except** Carolina.
Each of the AIs was specifically formed for a specific freelancer. There’s a reason that Carolina was chosen for Sigma: her willpower.
Just like Texas was the only one capable of holding back Omega’s rage, she was the only one capable of not being manipulated and subverted by sigma’s machinations.
What really makes me sad is how York died.
He was shot twice in the side… while having a healing unit… and the most sophisticated armor in the galaxy
York my favorite, pain
he was also missing any eye. Wyoming took the advantage and heavily damaged him to where he died
This is why my fan theory is that York did survive. We know in season 10 he was talking about Delta getting more personable and even telling lies (he told Wash that eating with his helmet on would be more efficient). And we can suspect that Project Freelancer was not keen on letting go of personnel or resources, which might be part of why York had to keep thieving and moving around rather than getting a job. Therefore my head canon is that York did survive, but Delta claimed he would die so that Project Freelancer would leave him alone.
The issue with this theory is why did Washington find York's body and Delta. Well, we also know from the Freelancer arc that Delta can quickly make a back-up of himself. Perhaps after Tex left, York finished healing, then put his armor on one of the dead bodies he and Tex had killed. He could leave the healing unit and a copy of Delta behind. Then York and the original Delta set out to a retirement of thievery or other shenanigans.
Yes, I'm aware this almost certainly is not what RT intended, and the evidence points to York being dead, but there's enough wiggle room for the head canon to be possible, and thus York is clearly still alive and well living his best life with Delta. :D
(Also we never witnessed North's death so I insist on believing that he didn't die and joined York in retirement. The how does not matter, maybe he pulled a similar stunt or something. Both freelancers deserve to live their lives.)
I just realized, time travel effects the mind so maby that's why the Wyoming clones were so easily taken out.
An hour long video about my favorite RT show with the most interesting and the most tragic group of characters RvB has ever introduced?
Let me get my head-light fluid, this is gonna be sweet
Did you get the elbow grease??
I actually have a fan made freelancer who ended up leaving the program early on because he saw the environment the director was creating and he thought it would be more fun to fight them . Dubbed freelancer Joy for his love of fun and fighting having his state name being taken by another freelancer. He was far from the fastest, strongest, or smartest but he was by far the most adaptable fighter in the ranks of the freelancer taking on character like Maine and Carolina in combat stalemating them by attacking their weaknesses and reducing their advantages. He was one of the freelancers designed to test armor mods early on and was even able to use a hand full without AI assistance due to his adaptability.
You are the man when it comes to “history of….” Or “…..time line explained” kind of videos. Clear and easy to follow. Great work as always man 👍🏾
This is incredible! Thank you for making this. It's very well-written. I can tell that you were dedicated to this series and no-doubt make this historical documentary a project that it deserved to be.
Bravo!
And that's why Project Freelancer is currently my all-time favorite tragic story.
CT is my favorite agent, I would still love a story told completely from her perspective.
this is a great video, lays it out and just makes it simpler to understand
keep it up man!
I still need to know if Caroline is north or south
Fax
both.
I personally believe she's supposed to represent both North & South, and there's a few things allude to that. There's the fact Carolina is ambidextrous, using both hand, has 2 armor enhancements, and even 2 AI. Even if she had Sigma instead it would have still fit the 2 theme with Sigma having 2 aspects, creativity and ambition. Not to mention when she's first introduced we see her working with North & South Dakota, drawing emphasis on the fact Carolina is called neither North or South.
@@R0-83-RT but they say they had 50 agents then 49 cause of flowers
Good point, though if revealing if Carolina was supposed to be North or South was important, one would think they would have done so already.
You put so much time and effort in this thank you
Seeing all of this, for some reason made me cry and wanting to rewatch the show for the 5 or 6 times ? Their is something special with RvB, it's a confort series, it's stupid and yet so emotional, all those death seen, some funny, some not belong to the past where the show was rocking back then.
I'm just being nostalgic lmao
She seems so genuinely happy to be growing her fanbase so large. You don’t see that nowadays, most content creators either dont care much for the milestone or put up a clearly fake reaction. I’m glad someone can still be happy to hit such a milestone
Honestly looking back, the freelancer seasons (9 and 10) were probably my favorite seasons of RvB and that might be solely due to the story of Project Freelancer itself and the way they wrote the freelancers themselves (I even still have that shirt RT sold that had most of the freelancers on it, big fan). Shame we never got to see more of the other freelancers only mentioned in name (especially when we saw the armors in season 15, though still not too big a fan of the season itself. Kinda wish 14 delved more into the past of them like it did with the blood gulch reds and felix and locust. Anyway great video on the freelancers, made me remember what I loved about them and keep up the great work. Peace.
Man Red vs Blue has a lot more lore than I remember like I thought that church became an AI I didn't know that he was an AI the whole time
This video filled I so many gaps! Thank you!
One thing I’ve never been able to stop thinking about, there can’t be 50 freelancers, Carolina takes two states names, so uhhh
My guess is the other Carolina died early on in the Project
Or she was renamed after North and South joined to avoid confusion.
My notifications haven't been working for a year , first notification I got
Really great video. So much effort was put into this and is greatly appreciated by me
Calling back to your video on every known Freelancer M.I.A and K.I.A, it seemed that you only used the 15 or so released seasons at the time. You have so much more information in this video, hence the hour plus run time. Where did all the extra data come from? I guessing a Rooster Teeth official Red vs. Blue guide? Love the video, best Red vs. Blue analysis on the internet. Thank you for the quality content.
The RvB official fan guide, released around season 13, is where most of this comes from.
@@PR0MAN01 I should definitely get one of those.
FINALLY an eruptionfang rvb upload
Thanks, it had been a while since I had gotten into RVB, but this show is incredible, thanks for that reminder
18:48 ok that bit about Florida and the part where other freelancers were supposed to go but got replaced with caboose etc is awesome info, I never caught that small detail
Honestly, when you summarized season 15. I realized how much potential the premise actually had and wish it could’ve definitely been explored in a spin off series rather than the actual show. I think we’re all burned out on RvB so watching a spin-off series about sim trooper veterans being disillusioned, mistreated, and above all executed by the government they served for and to be abandoned would’ve been an amazing show.
FELT SAD THAT OG TEX NEVER HAD THE CHANCE OF GET A PROPPER RESOLUTION(Tho epsilon Tex had it)
The reason Maine was taken over by Meta was because of being shot in the neck. We see the same thing happen to Washington, minus the AI. The similarity was even addressed when Meta’s theme plays for Wash in season 16.
Nice video. Enjoyed it.
oh my god i love how you pointed out that Crunchbite is the only alien weve ever seen project freelancer kill. So fucking funny that after everything they did for the purpose of winning the war, we only see them kill fucking *Crunchbite*
I really appreciate the choices of when to stop telling one person's story and move on to the next to create a narrative throughout the entire video
Good video man, thank you
Anyone notice the Final Fantasy XV soundtrack playing in there? It was the theme "Somnus" instrumental. Found that interesting, Great Video
I always assumed CT was after the Oracle ball to have the firepower to guarantee victory against project freelancer. Maybe the plan was to get that and also offer it up in exchange for being pardoned
Having seen most seasons more than once (at least up to season 10), seeing the background for Florida seemed all new to me.
The issue of him being cold and callous with “Jimmy”, and the corruption to his list of preferred replacements, are something I don’t remember seeing at any point.
They may have been Extras or I might just not have noticed them, either seem possible but also neither really feel likely.
Some really good background and story explanation- great work.
Those scenes are shown in Season 14, so that's probably why you haven't seen them
This is a very cool h detailed video I remember back in the day RvB was considered one of the best Machinimas ever
The saga with the Freelancers was the best thing RVB had and the best thing RT made. It was just so damn incredible.
Do hope the Triplets come back! Say, speaking of Freelancers, what ever happen to that Red vs Blue video about the whole "Are Caboose, Donut, and Sister freelancers?" theory after Episode 3 of Season 14?
I think the reason C.T. Said not to use the info the stop Project Freelancer and find the artifact was that the Aliens did seem to worship it (As it looked like a Monitor for the Halo) and use that Artifact to help stop the war. If Project Freelancer stops testing and there is no more development, Humanity is still fighting a loosing war with the loss of an asset
The very first time I learned Tex was the director’s memory of his wife, the whole freelancer program elevated
I think the lie of Tex attacking Wyoming is partially true. Perhaps Wyoming was just one of the first responders to Tex going rouge and got his ass handed to him and Gamma started the lie of trying to steal his A.I and equipment to give a somewhat valid reason to take down Tex if she ever approached anyone.
Im fairly sure meta attacked Wyoming and they said tex did it to cover up metas creation.
@@Jake-dm4rk It wouldn't make sense since Meta's whole goal is to collect A.I, why leave gamma and wyomings equipment. Plus that would mean Meata would have gone rouge already which wasn't the case since Carolina was his first victim
@@ThatLetterK well they said gamma removed himself to stay safe so that's why meta didn't get him. He disappeared into technology. I assume wyoming didn't have his ability yet since he never uses it in season10 where there were ample opportunities
how did this get so little views. Personally I feel that this is a great summary of Project Freelancer and did a great job.
The mixture of Halo soundtracks with Red vs. Blue is great to me. Both universes are definitely separate but they share a lot and I love both more than any other franchises.
I attribute the metas fight scenes as the reason I always play tank classes in any game
Currently rewatching the series and one thing I'll say, there is a lot of foreshadowing to the freelancer saga in the early stages of RvB. Idk if they had it planned. Or just noticed opportunities later or what. But it makes for a good story
I hope they can bring this series back to its former glory. Hopefully one day 😔🙏
well done!
I loved the entire Freelancer Saga
missed the part where he cares and prefers to be with the reds and blues as their stupidity and shenanigans makes him feel like his old cheerful self even though they stressed him out the same way they stressed church
Where was the Carolina undercover in the UNSC as McAllister from? I've never seen that.
season 17ep 5
So I realize I'm way late with this comment, but I've only just stumbled on your videos. I've really enjoyed your breakdown on the RvB characters and story lines.
I'd love to get your take on one piece of information if you read this. I hear most fans claim there are 50 freelancers, but Carolina has never been designated North or South or shown to have a counterpart. Also the twins are simply referred to as North and South which would add confusion if there were a North and South Carolina.
I also think that from a writer's perspective having one Carolina is an interesting way to elude to the fact that she will have 2 AIs.
From what I can remember the only place the exact number of freelancers is stated is in a conversation between Tex and Tucker stating there were 49 because of "poor Florida", but based on events she would have been lying to him anyway. If she was counting all freelancers she would have known Florida was one and if she was only counting living freelancers there would be less than 49 as Utah was also dead by this time.
Let me know if you think there's another Carolina out there.
How did you get those informations about agents such as Delaware or Alabama ?
Listen to the song On your knees for show. It gives hints on how they died
@@aniocitex1131 The information comes from the official RvB fanguide, the song only gave small mentions to them
I didn’t expect to watch a 1 hour Ted Talk on project freelancer today but I did and I have no regrets.
The Graham Plowman Tracks work really well
1:03:00 the violent evergarden ost is so great to hear
Hey man i love your content. If you do an ai video, id love to see how you explain yellow church as an ai. I personally think he is the missing ai XI
Maine/Meta will always be my favorite cuz he was just so "meta" pun not intended. Seriously he was such a badass 😎
He was an Sigma male.
get it? Sigma was his ai..
ok ok I'll stop
@@theclone9123. 😅
Will you do a simmilar video for the ai's?
Ive been watching RVB for years and during the freelance plot the one thing i always saw was.. it was very sad. The story of all the freelancers and the alpha.
I feel like making videos on other RVB characters lives would make a good series like "The life of Caboose" or something
Didn't this guy do a video on how Sister, Caboose and Donut are secretly freelancers?
Am I just imagining this or did it happen?
Yeah I remember this, was it this guy?
OMG I thought that 2, I'll be lukin 4 that now 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That does sound like this dude, he's basically the MrBossFTW for RvB. Wasn't it something like Donut was a freelancer because of his arm and sister because of her flexibility or something?
God I miss the OG rvb, such a good run
If you believe in yourself and with a tiny pinch of magic, all your dreams can come true
AUGH!! I CAN'T TAKE IT!!
I think an overlooked aspect of the Meta is how much his injury played into his tragic downfall. Immediately after recovery from the throat injury, he had Sigma in his head. Imagine hearing a voice in your head without any way for you to express yourself outwardly. It would be very difficult to socialize with other people and even keep your own thoughts straight, especially with a twisted AI like Sigma constantly trying to warp your ambitions. The Meta has always been my favorite villain in this series lol
The part where you said Tex was Maines enemy and that he was following Wyoming is partially right. The reason they had live ammunition was because the director gave them the ammunition to use it against text to test how good Tex and prove that she was the best. And if you listen carefully C.T says it also
Revelation of CT.
Wash, are we the baddies?
I really want to know what Project Freelancer's plan for covering up the existence of Kansas would have been...
That said my headcannon about Florida disappearing off the map was more a symbolic one, like scrubbing files from a roster. We all know Florida would be well into the ocean by that 26th century...
I noticed you used a Slowed down version of Forever.
The song played when CT died for CT's part.
Sir finishing the fight
I loved this show I watched as a little kid on Netflix an thought it was a funny halo show but as I got older and rewatched the show again(3 times😅) it still is a funny show but with a deeper meaning and church/epsilons “death” on chorus still makes me shed a tear
Its kinda funny, me and a buddy grew up watching RVB, and I vividly remember us both trying to claim a state to give our Halo 3 characters more depth/lore. He took on Kansas and I took Alaska. All these years later and RT finally brought both of them into their story. And even though Alaska was killed in what I would say is a mediocre way, it's fitting considering I moved on in life and essentially left my adaptation of Alaska suspended in time for well over a decade.
Alaska is no longer dead so you spartan lives on
There can only be 50 of them + Puerto Rico obviously
I would love to talk rvb with you dude. I see we have alot of similar views of the show but things like the freelancers sinking Florida i think we differ on. We both make theory videos and id be curious on how we both think of deeper details of the show!
Im on season 13 of RVB and loving and i gotta say Maine is pretty wicked
So basically Carolina had her mother as a rival and her father as an ai friend? Wow..
Despite how goofy and fun RVB can be-this vid shows just how dark and tragic it was-and that's a good part as to why we loved it
I think the scene where sigma wanted to know how the alphas split was the key to sigma taking over Maine. He may habe split Maine's mind in order to weaken him.
What music did you use in the background for the triplets? I hear it everywhere and I believe its the track from the level “Lone Wolf” in Halo Reach but i can never find the songs name.
Epilogue from Halo:Reach
One thing about tex is that she will ALWAYS fail because of Alison's death being ingrained in her personality
I think the biggest problem I have with the Golden age of RvB is that the Freelancer saga wasn't a full trilogy. I get they wanted to cap it at a nice 10 seasons. But the Freelancer plot really needed another seasons to properly develop some plotlines and characters.
Characters like Omega, Wyoming, Maine (pre throat damage), CT and Gamma were sorely underused. I get their priorities were to introduce and build Carolina as the main lead, but they left so many characters in the dust in service of that. I would've liked to see more of a talking Maine being a snarky prick like he was characterized as in Season 8 with Wash
