Rooster Teeth was a web-based media company most famous for the web serieses Red vs. Blue and RWBY. They started out on April 1, 2003 with the very first episode of Red vs. Blue, a machinima web series that was based on, and used models from, Halo. Eventually, they got very popular and expanded their operations over the years....

Well I’m gladly eating crow. Other than some occasional weird CGI this movie was awesome. And I was down on Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth but both of them were awesome.
And we’re done. Great episode again. Having an extended final episode was a good choice. I definitely think out of all the episodes, this one had the best pacing of the season. Loved Rogue doing a “Remember It” callback. All the Xavier/Magneto stuff was excellent and the show managed to get me to actually tear up again (for the second time after Gambit’s death) with the goodbye scene in the diner with Cable.
This was a great season. I genuinely did not expect such all around fantastic animation quality when this was first announced. My only minor criticisms ultimately stem from the same underlying issue which is the rapid pacing of most of the episodes which caused some of the plot lines (especially the Storm and Madelyn Pryor ones) to be a little rushed. Other than that the Motendo section, while fun, just seemed out of place. Overall I think this is a great show and am really looking forward to season 2. I read that Rogue’s VA has already finished recording her lines so I hope it doesn’t take multiple years to release.
Haha yeah. It’s an unfortunate side effect of the fact that animation in the English speaking world is still mostly associated as kids focused entertainment by the broader population.
Grim #17 - Grim has been solid throughout but one of my main criticisms was that the characters weren’t super fleshed out. However character focused interludes like this one really help.
Read a couple of DC stuff today including Wonder Woman #9 which continues be really good.
Fishflies #6 - Nearing the end of this 7 parter. A kid is shot, the shooter turns into a…thing…, the thing links up with an outcast little girl who identifies with the outcast criminal, somehow this all connects to previous cases and a darker secret in the town that I don’t know yet....
Oh Briar #5 is out. It’s been a year since #4 but I remember liking the first arc. I think the hype for it was kind of killed by the release schedule.
Doom #1 was pretty good but the plot was a little thin. I feel like it was carried insanely hard by the art.
X-Men: Forever #4 - A very important moment for a bunch of main characters that gets some real emotion out of me. Unfortunately it continues to struggle with the incredibly rushed feeling of the Fall of X.
Inside Out is my favourite Pixar film of the last decade so I’m cautiously optimistic about the sequel. I’m really hoping Pixar knocks it out of the park especially considering their last 2 films were pretty disappointing in my opinion.
Man, their run from the 90s to the end of the 2000s is absolutely incredible. Even films like A Bug’s Life and Cars are pretty great. It’s a pity that since then outside of a few films (Inside Out is a personal favourite) it’s been a very uneven filmography at best. I think their decline a few years after Disney’s purchase is very disappointing.
This is wild, the entire film was animated and directed by a single person (Denver Jackson) over a period of 2 years. Apparently created over 1 hour and 34 min of final animation. Not certain what the final runtime is but that’s amazing.

For me it’s gotta be Arcane season 2 later this year. Did a rewatch of season 1 a few weeks ago and it’s completely re-ignited by hype for the show.
