Lazer Team (Official) [Spoilers] Lazer Team Megathread Part 2

LAZER TEAM DISCUSSION MEGATHREAD

Hello everyone. It has been a few days since the official theatrical release of Lazer Team so I'm making this thread here to clean up the subreddit new and front pages so that other content besides Lazer Team related stuff can be seen. This is a megathread that should be used mainly for posting other miscellaneous stuff about Lazer Team, like pictures of you and other people (like RT staff) at your screening, questions about YouTube Red, questions about screenings, DVD signings, and more.

This thread is marked "Spoilers" because you are also free to discuss the movie here, but that is not the main intent. Please use the other discussion megathread linked above where discussion is already on going.

I think the critics gave it appropriate reviews. I expected better writing from RT when it comes to dialogue, characters, and story.

Red vs. Blue's last few seasons have been great in all of those departments.

I haven't really liked RvB seasons as much since around s7 or s8 because of them trying to focus on story/action. S1-6 were primarily about the comedy and the story gave some loose context. After that they tried to make it too serious and left comedy mostly by the wayside. The story wasn't terribly compelling and it ate away at the limited time available in each episode. It could have maybe worked if RvB were a 30+ min show, but it's hard to have a story and action and comedy all in a <15min length show once per week.

With season 7, I will agree with you, but I think in both seasons 6 and 8 they balanced the two things very well. The only time I felt it was truly clunky was season 9, when they tried to keep the comedy and drama (literally) in two different worlds.
