What Web Series Would You Like to See Chuck Review?

This forum is for discussing Chuck's videos as they are publicly released. And for bashing Neelix, but that's just repeating what I already said.

What Web Series Would You Like to See Chuck Review?

Post by Winter »

I've been watching a lot of RWBY as of late and in all honesty it's one of my all time favorite series, on par with Star Wars, Harry Potter, Avatar The Legend of Aang/Korra, All-Star Superman and The Legend of Zelda. Of course the series isn't without it's flaws, Volume 1 and 5 have some series pacing problems while Volumes 2 and 4 are good but a little cluttered and Ruby herself hasn't gotten as much character development as I would like.

But I find Volumes 3 and 6 (so far) to be Very well written and paced with some great character moments and the series as a whole has had some great action scenes and the rest of the cast has some really solid character development. So in all honesty I would like to see Chuck talk about this series to see what he thinks about it.

So with that out of the way, what Web Series would you like to see Chuck review, Red vs. Blue, the upcoming gen-lock or some other series?

I'd just like to see him review "Star Trek: Continues". I think there are a lot of interesting possibilities there.

Made by RoosterTeeth, right? Company that bought Screwattack? Well, wouldn't you have to buy it? I think that's fair game.

Actually you can watch every Volume on the RoosterTeeth website for free and Vol.s 1 through 5 can be watched on YouTube. You can watch episodes early if you're a member of the RT website but they will be available the following week for everyone else so if you don't want to pay to watch you don't have to.

Red vs. Blue. Love that show, especially the first ten seasons. The show had a huge impact and influence on me, so I'd wonder what Chuck would think of it.

RWBY... I find that the series has a lot of potential and fantastic action scenes and good characters, but I felt as the series went on I cared less and less about the story and it gives characters who need development and attention barely anything (especially Ruby and Pyrrha, whose death was just really badly written) and didn't really like where they went with the story and dropped out after Volume 3, and from I've been told about Volumes 4 and 5 by friends, it doesn't sound all that appealing to me and and while I'm told Volume 6 is an improvement, I still don't feel like watching the other volumes I missed out on or Vol 6 itself.

I mean, it might not be unwatchable, but I confess that I did care enough about the characters to write my own RWBY fic to continue the story, and it's still going and has gotten so long my fingers have come to hate me for forcing them to type, so maybe I'm just an idiot or something.

Then there's the fandom of RWBY, who are... well, I was literally told to kill myself and that I would never amount to anything for critiquing Pyrrha's death... so yeah, don't want to be around those fanatics or invoke their fury.

Did the writers ever get past their issue with show don't tell? From the beginning I remember them spending too much time explaining things they didn't have to, like Aura. They could have cut out completely the scene with Pyrrha explaining what it is which would have given them more time for other things, and improved Jaune's character to boot.

Homestuck's popularity must be on the wane given how it isn't the first answer on here. Never got into the show myself, i'm told that it gets better but I never waited long enough to find out.

I'll add another voice to Red vs Blue. The continuity lockout of recent series has been a bit frustrating (if you need to have a wiki on hand to follow a show, it raises concerns) but the Blood Gulch seasons were brilliant. :-) Question is how Chuck would price such requests if he were ever to accept them.
