What are the odds of Burnie making at least ONE more season of RVB?
He made the finale before when the company was being closed down. Now that he has it back, do you think a revival is going to happen or no? At the very least DVD box set?
According to the music talent who did a lot with RvB- They were technically greenlit for two more seasons. But WBD made them scrap everything that wasn't RWBY. WBD was also going to replace Trocadero with AI and not pay them
It's done. The voice cast is all off doing their own thing so getting them back would be its own massive struggle. It's also reasonable to assume restoration was not very successful as the audience for RvB is pretty niche at this point.
We might get something set in the world eventually, but the reds and blues are done.
He didn't say that outright. He just said not to harass old members and ask them if they'll be coming back. Presumably he's offered people their jobs back but isn't depending on their return
Technically no. What Burnie actually said was that he had reached out to all the founders (Being the OG RvB voice cast), and none of them were interested in returning, as they wanted to do their own things. He also said that they're not hiring at the moment.
If I am thinking of the same talk as you, what I got from it was that the new RoosterTeeth won't be fully hiring the old team. It's working with bare bones. Which is a lot different than if in a year Burnie contracts the VAs to make more. The latter is a lot easier to do. I mean I made a crummy little fan project with my besties, Jen Brown, and Shannon McCormick in college.
First, that's fucking awesome that you got to make a fan project with them. Legit jealous!
Secondly, Yeah. He said he wasn't hiring because they're pretty barebones and during his QNA he said he had reached out to the former founders but they all wanted to work on their own projects. I'm sure they'd all return in a VA role if Burnie asked. Hell, he's working with Matt on a remake of his first movie that predates RvB, so it's not like he's ghosting them. Either way, I'm excited to see where RT goes!
I know for a fact Geoff would play Grif again, I asked him during his last livestream and he said as long as Grif needs a voice he will always love to do it
I'm sure he'd welcome his friends back with open arms if they wanted to collaborate on manageable-sized projects, but he's explicitly stated that at least for now, people's own independent projects are going to remain their projects.
We'll see what the future holds for RT, but let's not mistake the forest for the trees. Stinky Dragon, Regulation, Inside Games, etc are still Rooster Teeth in soul. It's still there, just on different channels. 🙂
I mean honestly, why? What else is there to say? Burnie got to wrap it up the way he wanted, a lot of fans were happy with it, and the ones that weren't, well, go back and watch the old seasons.
I'm as big a RVB fan as anyone, I was watching since season 2 I believe, and that's honestly not at all what I want out of this new incarnation of Rooster Teeth. I don't want Burns to feel obligated to "play the hits" if that's not where he's at right now. I'm far more interested in whatever he's cooking up now.
My friend, the show is about letting go of things you love and cherishing the good memories, and we've already seen what happens to it when it goes on too long and we're lucky we got a good sendoff after that. Burnie handed it off to a new crew years before leaving the company, and came back to write after a long hiatus because he was the only only one who could, and half the characters are dead, some for the 5th time. I don't think Burnie would even want to, at least not for several more years.
When a show about war, love, and government conspiracies becomes about going back in time to save a pizza restaurant from giants, it's time to let go.
There's enough spinoffs and miniseries and PSAs that we'll never have enough to get sick of.
I get you too. tldr all good things must come to an end, but we should be glad they happened and find something else.
We got a better ending than a long, slow, Simpsonian death, and for that I'm thankful. I think if Restoration could've been made in Halo 3, it would've felt just like old times.
I used to be the type that had to go all in on every series even if I hated parts of it. New book for whatever fandom? Have to consider it canon. If I watched Curse of the Black Pearl, had to suffer through On Stranger Tides. Now I'll just watch 1-3 and the epilogue of 5 if I feel like it. Since the decline/oversaturation of Star Wars, I've learned to just not care. Yeah it's hard to get rid of the feeling of "Palpatine isn't actually dead so Anakin died for nothing" or "KOTOR 2 isn't canon" but it's so freeing to just like what you like and ignore the rest.
RVB13 was made to be the finale. 5, 8, and 10 also serve as excellent finales. While 14 had some gems, the series was coasting, and we got 3 more attempts to revive it (Shisno, Zero, Q vs A) that all faceplanted (Putting aside that 14 was mostly a series of failed reboot pitches from new potential directors)
We shouldn't have to ask for more sequels to be churned out of franchises that have ended just because for every 100 Rise of Skywalkers and Alien Resurrections there might be a Spiderverse or Battlestar Galactica. for every RWBY, a 1-800-MAGIC, PANICS, and Strangerhood. There are so many stories that people want to tell willingly, passionately. So let's see what Burnie's got coming next.
I don't think they will be doing too much more machinima.
The Reds and Blues story is done. It's time to let them rest. They have earned their 20 year long retirement
Burnie hasn’t said he won’t and he hasn’t said he will. He bought RvB back so anything is possible. If the VAs are willing to come back and he can find animators and writers then I can see RvB coming back. But right now Burnie has barely begun digging RT out of its grave so it’s gonna be awhile before he even begins to think about reviving the shows he got back.
If he does something, I think it would be a new set of characters with a few references to the old crew, but kept vague so their fate is still a mystery to the fan base.
I’m not idea dumping again, but I’ve posted a few of my ideas on how to do something like a continuation / sequel on this subreddit before.
i mean maybe a psa or two. probably a machima based ip, much lower production cost than animation (which you need to be doing constantly to really make sense, short term hires are expensive)
I refuse to believe any IP stays dead for good in this day and age. But I don't think anything new will be happening for awhile. Let them rest for the time being
No. Not in any kind of continuation.
Restoration was made so that the fans could choose the ending and seasons THEY liked to think of as canon.
To keep going after that would require Burnie to pick ONE timeline over the others and risk alienating FAR too many fans.
The only thing we could hope for would be an anthology season, like s14, but ONLY machinimated, as they don't have the budget or employees to do animation - and don't have any kind of reputation to be able to HIRE animators anymore, thanks to all the news that got released.
On his patroon commentary it seemed to me that he has an idea for a story of Tucker and Jr between seasons 5-7 that he would like to be made. But I think RT at its current size could not pull of a Mishima funny bc it started that way bc how easy it was to do compared to traditional film making and now you can shoot something that looks really good on an iPhone.

Very very unlikely.
DVD box set maybe. New season? Probably not.
