I’m going to explode

Burnie’s AMA podcast about Rooster Teeth’s revival is now available to the public and so I’m going to summarizing the relevant questions that were answered here.

“It’s because we could […] If we don’t do it who will?” Throughout the episode, Burnie also mentioned: not wanting RT to become lost media; wanting to create opportunities for himself/past employees of the company; wanting to work with old properties again; being able to collaborate with new talent; and the Rooster Teeth brand being good marketing. “One of the main motivators for this was preserving the media, and I’m happy to say, it is preserved.”

Also spoken about over multiple questions, Burnie says that Warner Brothers might have been planning to sell off the whole company, including employees etc., and he did not want (/couldn’t afford) to buy it then. It was only after the shutdown, after it became clear the WB was selling off individual shows, that Burnie started trying to buy things. I mention this specifically because I’ve seen a lot of people talk as if the company itself is coming back; it is not. What Burnie owns right now is the brand and IP rights to a lot of the properties. The actual “company” of Rooster Teeth is actually Burnie’s production company “Box Canyon Productions” and right now only has two employees.

“It’s a very, very long list.” Burnie says they have the rights over 50 shows, some specifically named ones being The RT Podcast, Red vs Blue, and The Know. Most of the shows that were hosted on the Rooster Teeth YouTube channel were a part of the acquisition. Nothing from Achievement Hunter, Funhaus, or RWBY are owned by RT anymore. Heavy emphasis was put on AH no longer being under RT’s brand anymore.

“The sweet spot for scale is going all the way back to the early episodes of Red vs Blue.” The focus is going to be on “compelling writing and great characters,” and making projects with smaller productions. Throughout the episode they reiterated that their main focus is going to be on individual projects and shows.

“I also would love a complete boxset of Red vs Blue.” Burnie says he wants to do this, but doing physical media in 2025 is complicated and a financial risk, so they’re going to have to figure out how it would be done. He mentions possibly doing a preorder for it.

“It’s not bulletproof, but I don’t know what it would take for us to have to shutter this thing at this point.” Burnie says that they’re already profitable, that they maintain themselves, and that unless they do something that would put them in tremendous amounts of debt, as long as YouTube still remains a platform that lets them host videos, he’s not worried about the company shutting down.

“Yeah, it would have to be within the brands we’re talking about.” They talk about there being a lot of old merch, so figuring out how to provide the specific pieces that people want will be a challenge. Burnie how his personal philosophies on making merchandise in a way that does not produce “junk” may also make selling merch more difficult. Ashley says it is going to be a “slow start.”

More questions were answered and things discussed on the episode but this is what I found to be important to share here.

The TL;DR of RvB news: They do own the Red vs Blue IP. There was no confirmation or denial of any future continuations of the show, but we will very likely be getting a boxset and some old merch returning.

i drew these in my sketchbook in 2021 but never got around to digitalising and posting them

NICE LEGS DAISY DUKES MAKES A MAN GO

OH MY GOD I DON’T EVE HAAHHAHAHA

Roosterteeth better fucking find this.

me getting into any piece of media like ok so how can i relate this back to my favourite show red vs blue

Fuck every plot line from rvb except whatever the hell BGC psa’s had going on

I really love the new years one where Church's new years resolutions keep changing and one of his suggestions for caboose is just puppy

listen. season 15 is not evidence he does not pay child support.

1) it’s literally been rendered non canon. what’s the point of 15-17 being retconned if we can’t write off the shitty ooc decisions made for the characters in them 😭

2) even if 15 was still canon, it’s not actually evidence he doesn’t pay? we know by the start of 15 it’s been ten months since the end of 13. tucker has been in hiding for nearly all of that. it’s very likely that tucker was away for literally the entirety of the pregnancies. he had no idea this happened. the kids are, at most, a couple of months old. he was not being told that he was actively skipping out on child support payments, he was being made aware that a bunch of infants existed for the first time.

3) like. the joke is racist. we can all understand how “black guy gets a bunch of women pregnant and doesn’t want to pay child support about it” is a racist joke, right? and that, given the lack of evidence that he isn’t paying (see: 1 and 2) and the amount of evidence that we do have that he takes care of his kids (he fully adopted the alien a parasite that used his body as an incubator as his son. hello.), i think actively perpetuating the racist joke is. mm. i don’t think you should do that!

company dead and no more merch so here are my transparents of the meta shirt/poster they used to sell ^__^ feel free to print this on anything

if anyone owns any rt store apparel i think they should either take a really good image or preferably get the design scanned, i would love to make more like these and get them printed :)
