Ep 2. Volume 2
Red vs. Blue is a science-fiction comedy web series that follows the story of two teams, Red and Blue, as they engage in an ongoing battle within a futuristic canyon. The show is primarily created using animations from the popular video game franchise, Halo.
Episode 2 of season 1, entitled Volume 2, picks up right where the first episode left off. The members of the Red team, Grif (voiced by Geoff Ramsey), Sarge (voiced by Matt Hullum), and Simmons (voiced by Gustavo Sorola), are still trying to figure out their situation in the canyon while their leader, Donut (voiced by Dan Godwin), is still missing. Meanwhile, on the Blue team side, Tucker (voiced by Jason Saldaña), Caboose (voiced by Joel Heyman), and Church (voiced by Burnie Burns) are preparing for their next move.
The episode begins with the Blue team discussing the events that led to the arrival of the Red team in the canyon. As they try to figure out their next move, Church decides to take matters into his own hands by attempting to hack into the Red team's communication system. However, things don't go as planned when he is discovered by the Red team and is forced to retreat back to his own base.
Back at their own base, the Red team is still struggling to figure out how to deal with their situation. Grif is growing increasingly impatient and is convinced that there must be a way out of the canyon. Sarge, on the other hand, is more focused on maintaining his authority over the team and trying to keep them organized.
As the episode progresses, both teams begin to come up with strategies for their next move. The Blue team decides to split up and send Tucker and Caboose to scout out the Red team's base while Church stays behind to work on his hacking skills. The Red team, on the other hand, decides to build a wall around their base to keep the Blue team out.
Throughout the episode, there are several comedic moments that keep the tone light. For example, Grif and Simmons argue about the merits of building the wall, with Grif insisting that it's a waste of time while Simmons defends the project's usefulness. Meanwhile, Caboose and Tucker's scouting mission takes an unexpected turn when they stumble upon Donut, who has been captured by an unknown third party.
The episode ends on a cliffhanger, leaving viewers wondering what will happen next. Volume 2 sets up the ongoing conflict between the Red and Blue teams and establishes the show's unique blend of humor and science-fiction action. It also introduces several key characters, including Donut, who will continue to play a role in the series.
