⚠️ SPOILERS ⚠️
Finished Rooster Teeth’s Camp Camp. It is another excellent [animated like it’s for kids] not-kids show, also on VRV as well as other platforms like YouTube and their site. So far I have some opinions (spooky) , including but not limited to:
-Max is a mood but his attitude made his parents basically disown him emotionally and physically so maybe being a constant cynical extremely manipulative but sort of caring dickbag isn’t the best idea but it’s his Traumatic Past and Wrecked Worldview. You can’t fool this kid, he fools you. Becomes less prominent throughout the series.
-Nikki, the Nature and Rowdy Gal. Hyper as shit. A child in all senses, Tomboy through the roof. Also a smart, modern and progressive gal, even though she may seem airheaded.
-Neil, just a Science Nerd. More than that, yes, but just that. Socially awkward, but perceptive and socially aware. Also Jewish. Made up all the lore of Hanukkah. Good at robots and science.
“Main characters” out of the way...
Camp Campbell, a mishmash scam of different low budget activities but very fun , polar opposite counselors, and eclectic kids.
- David is too happy to just be a normal super-happy guy, though in S1E12 he does break then get brought back from the brink of something tragic and or horrifying so yay please stay happy. Surprise, David was a shitty kid. Then became instant hyperhappy from being crowned the best. Wild.
Note that David and Max begin to get character traits from each other, with Max being a little less... Max and David doing some underhanded things. Very cool, character development.
“ Stay safe, but take no prisoners.” -David (referring to squirrels)
-Dead ghost kid Jasper, David’s old “Friend”, who got killed by an exploding cave and haunts Spooky Old People BDSM Furry Sex Mansion Island. As well as David’s conscience, even though he doesn’t even know he’s even DEAD. That’s a lot to unpack, huh.
-Nurf, called Gaylord by his inmate mother. Such poetic dialogue but a violent(?) bully. Such paternal caring instincts warring with a traumatic past and sadistic tendencies.Such INTELLIGENCE and EMOTIONS, could be a therapist if he didn’t need one.
-Gwen. Ered. Same chicks but different emotional stabilities. Sorry Gwen. You’ll find a better job,and a better life, and Ered is cool. Gwen is just a Depressed Millennial whose life went nowhere.
Note that Gwen writes erotic monster man fanfiction and Ered is just Cool.
-tf is up with Dolf, subtlety who?? He’s a good and adorable kid with just.. so many hitler references.
-Harrison’s parents are goddamned terrified of him because he basically killed his brother. Made him disappear. “Cursed powers” and all. Nikkis’s mom Candy is a gold digger. Max’s parents signed him up for activity camp with no activity listed on the form because they didn’t want him. Explains a lot.
-Harrison.. what the fuck is your magic? There’s basic card tricks and pulling a rabbit out and a hat but there’s also ELDRITCH UNIMAGINABLY POWERFUL WORLD ENDING ANCIENT MAGIC so maybe you should look into that.
-Preston, Space kid, Nerris, also known as Theater, Space Kid, and DnD.
-Jermy Farts, the gross trash boy who was transferred to Wood Canp after 1 day.. Good riddance.
-Transfer kids were foreign spies, Russian girl was amazing and Kentucky boy is a king. Er, kimchi.
The adults are absolutely screwed up.
-Campbell, the man himself, is serving time for many many many implied international (mostly eastern) federal and general crimes and morally and legally pretty bad Everything. Greedy. ANTAGONIST, yet sort of dim. He just wanted more money, even illegally. Man got a 3-d printer just to make untraceable firearms and can make anything a cash grab. Cool.
HE GIVES THE CAMP BACK TO DAVID N GWEN AND TURNS HIMSELF IN BUT THEN GETS BROUGHT BACK TO CAMP CAMP?? David is the new leader apparently.
-The quartermaster is just a weird guy. Sweet home Alabama. Prevents apocalypses with ancient rituals every other week and collects eccentric trinkets. Canonically shown to sacrifice goats.
-These ten to eighteen year olds,basically, swearing like semi-pseudo-sailors. Beautiful. Not really.
-the Wood Scouts, or Military Boot Camp.
Petrol, the silent, strong and gentle giant.Snake, basically Metal Gear Snake. Pikeman is covered in acne, self-centered, and just a weird guy. Military everyone.
-The Flower Scouts, Lady Pink Camp.
Note that Tabii with two i’s, Sasha, and Erin became intimidating drug lords, a.k.a. three relatively little girls, competing with Mexican cartels over meth-covered glorified Girl Scout cookies. Guns and all. Then dropped it because they didn’t want to win a vacation to the same place in Mexico the cartel mansion is at. Fucking wild I know.
Sasha may be not even ten because of anti-aging cream. What. An excellent manipulator and incredibly scary. SHE SHIPPED A GIRL TO A SIBERIAN LABOR CAMP OUT OF JEALOUSY. An absolute role model.
Tabii needs some goddamn meds, Erin is heterochromic, smart, and just peer pressured, and Sasha is the popular leader girl.
Okay, so Daniel the cultist and light palette swapped David. Blue eyes, platinum blond hair. White clothes. Neat curvy sacrificial dagger. Never blinking, cracks his neck a lot. Generally creepy and murdery for Ultralord Xemüg. Infiltrates camp three times and is poisoned or fooled. Plays the fiddle like the devil, and can sing. Perfect facade. Sounds like, and can look like David too. Tried to kill everyone,and Max. Excellent fandom fodder for fellow Antagonists.
Quartermaster and Daniel have the same curved dagger.
Overall, 9.5/10 not enough seasons. Can fool an adult who doesn’t already know into thinking it’s a legitimately appropriate show. Funny. I’ve actually laughed.
Did I forget anyone? If I did then they’re not worth remembering.
