X-Ray and Vav

X-Ray and Vav, also known as X-Ray & Vav, was an American Rooster Teeth 2D Animated comedy cartoon TV Web series created by Rooster Teeth Productions with the first episode being released with it's Debut Date on November 27, 2014 and the Finale Episode Date on October 18, 2015. The series surrounds, revolves around and focuses on the comical adventures of the two wannabe titular superheroes on the Super Powered Alter Egos of respective former and current Achievement Hunter cast members named "X-Ray (voice of Ray Narvaez, Jr.") and "Vav" (voice of Gavin Free) also known as the "dorktastic duo", who are in turn based on the team and the fictional alter egos of formed by Ray Narvaez, Jr. and Gavin Free from Achievement Hunter (who also provide their voices), with their names originating from the Halo 4 - Terminus Achievement Guide. The animated series was created and directed by Jordan Cwierz, creator of the Rooster Teeth Animated Adventures,  and Lindsay Jones, with Patrick Rodriguez acting as the art director and Gray G. Haddock as the producer. 
The show was first announced at RTX 2014.http://roosterteeth.com/members/journal/entry.php?id=3227026 A short teaser trailer for the series, displaying its logo, was shown at the end of RWBY Volume 2's eighth episode.http://roosterteeth.com/archive/?id=9728 A full teaser showcasing its animation was aired alongside the nineteenth episode of Red vs. Blue: Season 12 and ninth episode of RWBY Volume 2.http://roosterteeth.com/archive/?id=9743 The first episode premiered at the 2014 New York Comic-Con. The trailer for the second season was shown at the 2015 San Diego Comic-Con, being uploaded shortly after.
X-Ray and Vav has since been cancelled and discontinued. There are currently still no plans for a third season as of March 30, 2017, and the show has not been referenced, mentioned, updated or worked on at all ever since its Season 2 conclusion by Rooster Teeth. When asked by a fan if he would return for a third season if asked, Narvaez stated he wouldn't come back to do it anymore and reprise his main character for another third season (Season 3) and that he wouldn't be involved anymore because he was "[very] happy with how it ended". 
Because the series is cancelled and is no longer still in production, the production, direction and animation staff behind the show have moved over to switch their focus on other Rooster Teeth shows and projects on Rooster Teeth's "Summer of Animation" fun and top priority list, including RWBY, RWBY Chibi, Red vs Blue Season 14, and a brand new 2D animation show, X-Ray and Vav's spiritual successor/replacement, called Camp Camp.
== Synopsis ==
X-Ray (Ray Narvaez, Jr.) and Vav (Gavin Free) are your typical heroic duo, who are just trying to make the world a better place - the only problem is that they're failing miserably, unable to do the most menial 'superhero' tasks and getting no respect from the general public. However, after a failed robbery attempt and a run-in with a super-intelligent engineer named Hilda (Lindsay Jones) and Orf (Barbara Dunkleman), the duo are given the opportunity to become the greatest superheroes of all time... if they don't destroy the city in the process.
== History and creation ==
Possibly the oddest story of a flub in an achievement guide starring two staff members who worked at Achievement Hunter that went from a meme/joke, to shirts, to a Rooster Teeth Animated Adventures-type show, to a full-on animated cartoon. The show X-Ray & Vav’s origin story traces its origins to a Halo 4 achievement guide created by the pair for Achievement Hunter. It can be found in the Halo 4 – Terminus Achievement Guide video with Ray & Gavin. In the video, Ray mispronounces Gavin's name as "Vav" and later Gavin asks Ray, "Do people ever call you 'X-Ray'?". In subsequent achievement guides, the pair would begin to stay "in-character" as their superhero alter-egos, X-Ray and Vav, and make references to them in other videos. The characters became incredibly popular with the Rooster Teeth community, spawning official merchandise, fan art, and cosplays. At RTX 2013, Gavin and Ray themselves, cosplayed as the characters.  
Then, as revealed on Achievement Hunter Weekly Update #150 here, Rooster Teeth played into the hype and created & Vav-themed merchandise. The show itself was first announced in the RTAA panel at RTX 2013 and showed a trailer that was featuring RTAA-styled silhouettes of X-Ray & Vav and the words “coming soon.” In other words, at RTX 2013, the company showed an X-Ray & Vav teaser with the working title Animated Adventurers. Free and Narvaez also made a special appearance at the event in some brightly-colored costumes. They were seen wearing these X-Ray and Vav costumes at the Achievement Hunter panel at RTX 2013. (At another RTX female versions of the costumes appeared, worn by The Know employees Ashley Jenkins (X-Ray) and Meg Turney (Gavin's girlfriend, as a female Vav).  
The first indication of an animated show based on X-Ray and Vav was at RTX 2013, during which a brief teaser was shown at the RTAA panel. The show was revealed under the title of Animated Adventurers and differed from the final show significantly, in that the animation bore a heavier resemblance to Jordan's distinctive art style, rather than the more polished cartoon look of the show proper.
At the following RTX, RTX 2014, Jordan (who makes the RTAAs) showed some footage of it on the RTAA panel. Also at RTX 2014, a new animated show called X-Ray and Vav was announced, starring Ray Narvaez, Jr. as X-Ray and Gavin Free as Vav. The show ended up having a much-loved “Saturday Morning Cartoon” feeling. The writing and plot were almost entirely driven by inside jokes from AH lore. The show is directed by Lindsay Jones (who also voices Hilda) and Jordan Cwierz, with art direction by Patrick Rodriguez. A trailer was released to YouTube here on November 6, 2014. An article was released on Tube filter the next day on November 7, 2014. It can be found here. The first episode premiered and was released on November 27, 2014,RTX (10 July 2014). "RTX 2014: Mission Complete!". Rooster Teeth. Retrieved 12 July 2014. and was aired every Thursday on the Rooster Teeth website. The previous week's episode would then be available on YouTube. Season 1 ran for four episodes from November 27, 2014 until December 18, 2014.  
The intro for season two premiered on March 26, 2015. On April 10, 2015, Narvaez, the main voice actor, announced his departure from Achievement Hunter in favor of and in order to focus on dedicating his time and attention towards full time Twitch livestreaming and officially quit and left on April 17, 2015. However, despite Narvaez's departure from Achievement Hunter in April of that year, he continued to frequently return to the Rooster Teeth offices and recording studios do continue voice work for his character in the series during Season 2 (however, when asked by fans, he said he was "not interested" in returning to voice the character again should they do a third season). The Season 2 trailer had premiered on July 11, 2015 at the San Diego Comic Con. On July 13, 2015, another article on Tubefilter was released about the event. A second season began on 18 July 2015 (you can watch the new intro trailer here, and the Comic Con trailer here). X-Ray and Vav Season 2 initially premiered July 18, 2015, with a total of ten episodes to be released in two batches of five each. Rooster Teeth sponsors got to see the first episodes a day before they’re released to the public on July 19. The second season premiered to the public audience for non-sponsors on July 19, 2015. Narvaez and Free reprised their roles as the show's titular heroes (with Lindsay, Barbara and Gray reprising their roles well), and Season 2 is also bringing on board new characters voiced by Adventure Time’s Jessica DiCicco as news reporter Ash Samaya and Parks & Recreation’s Colton Dunn (who’s also starring in Rooster Teeth’s Lazer Team film), with the addition of Michael Jones as the anti-hero Mogar (also starring in Lazer Team with Coltun and Gavin). Though Season 2 would be longer than Season 1 with a total of ten full episodes, Rooster Teeth has opted to split it in half, with the second season of The Strangerhood (one of the many stretch goals for funding Lazer Team) airing between the first and second halves. After running for another 10 episodes, Season 2 officially ended on October 18, 2015, and this is confirmed to be the series finale of the show. There will not be a Season 3, because Ray said on his ask.fm that he felt Season 2 ended in a good way and that he wasn't interested in doing it anymore so it is instead cancelled, ended, finished and no longer in production. A short video, titled "X-Ray & Vav: Posi-Choices 101 – Short" was released on November 22, 2015. The last, and final short video, titled "The X-Ray & Vav Holiday Special! – Short" was released on December 13, 2015.  
== Theme song lyrics ==
They’re best of buds, they prowl the night; 
As super studs, they fight for good; 
They’re awesome guys, who kick crime in the butt! 
X-Ray and Vaaav! 
He's a popular guy, a parkour master, 
And might know some Kung fu.... 
X-RAY AND VAAAV!!!! 
He's delightfully British, a hero for justice, 
And cares how you feel! 
X-Ra-ay and Vav

== Future ==
Before being cancelled, there were initially high hopes and plans for a Season 3, even as early as when Season 2's debut in the summer of 2015. Rooster Teeth’s Lindsay Jones said at the SDCC panel the company would like to continue X-Ray and Vav beyond Season 2 if fan reception is positive. At the X-Ray and Vav panel at RTX 2015, when they talked about how "interesting and engaging" Season 2 was, Lindsay and Jordan also said "At present, we currently don't have plans for a Season 3 yet or another third season in development production yet, but who knows? You never know!"  
Because there was so much hype for a third season of X-Ray and Vav, hundreds of ideas for a third season of X-Ray and Vav were published by fans in late fall of 2015 and early winter of 2016.http://archiveofourown.org/works/10680189/chapters/23647068 
== Cancellation and conclusion ==
Season 2 has been described and confirmed as the second and last season in the franchise.https://www.reddit.com/r/roosterteeth/comments/4rl9qq/is_xray_and_vav_cancelled/https://www.reddit.com/r/roosterteeth/comments/4fcumg/xray_and_vav_going_to_have_a_season_3_and_if_so/ Although both seasons of the show did well, after 2 full seasons running with 14 episodes and 4 shorts, special videos, X-Ray and Vav was not renewed for a third season and was ultimately cancelled.http://bigbite.media/top-10-cancelled-rt-shows/ The rest of the creation, direction, production and the animation team behind the show has moved over to working on Camp Camp. According to the website status, it states that the show is "Retired." 
 When asked by a fan on his Ask fm if he would once again be interested and willing to rejoin the Rooster Teeth team and fully return for another third season, Ray Narvaez, Jr., the main voice actor for X-Ray, has also expressed his disinterest in continuing his role as the titular character, stating that he wouldn't do it any more and that he was "happy with how it (Season 2) ended".Askfm. (7 June 2016). "if Xray and Vav were to have a 3rd season in production would you still voice Xray?".Ray Narvaez, Jr.. Retrieved 23 June 2016.http://ask.fm/RNarvaezJr/answers/140877319543 When responding to the comments in the chat room on his Twitch streams in early 2016, and when describing the likelihood of starring in another season in the series, Narvaez explained, "[Season 2] most likely will be the last season." 
In short, It got discontinued and replaced with Camp Camp. More specifically, Ray expressed that he wasn't interested in continuing to pursue voice acting and you can't have X-Ray and Vav without Ray.

=== Sex & Nudity ===
1/10 X-Ray brings up his status as a virgin a few times, however it is only mentioned briefly and not expanded on.
=== Violence & Gore ===
3/10 X-Ray blows up a city. Expect very mild and humorous violence on this show.
=== Profanity ===
5/10 One use of F*** Occasional uses of other words such as da** and a** Some inappropriate references also used.
=== Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking ===
0/0 ...
=== Frightening/Intense Scenes ===
1/10 This show is a comedy and therefore not very frightening. X-Ray blows up a city this could maybe scare VERY young children as it is played as a joke.
==Production==
A teaser was shown at RTX 2013 with the title "Animated Adventurers." The upcoming show was confirmed at RTX 2014. Currently, not much is known about the show other than it features a completely different art/animation style (2D animation style) than what Rooster Teeth has done in the past.
==Trivia==
*The names X-Ray and Vav come from a Achievement Hunter video which Gavin and Ray were in. In this video, Gavin accidently calls himself "Vav" instead of "Gav".Later in the same video, Gavin jokingly asks Ray if anyone has ever nicknamed him "X-Ray". This became a running gag between them until Gavin made a joke in another video about how X-Ray and Vav could be crime fighters and the Rooster Teeth community loved the idea.
*Two of the enemies in the first two episodes are based on creations from achievement hunter videos, just like X-Ray and Vav. The Corpirate comes from one of Geoff's creations and is voiced by Geoff in the series. The Mad King is in reference to Ryan's personality and evilness towards cows (and is voiced by Ryan).
**Season 2 debuts Mogar, a bear-themed warrior voiced by his own inspiration Michael.
*The first episode we see Hilda in season two, when she's talking to X-ray you can see Ember Celia, Yang's weapons, on the board behind her.
*A 30 second promo of the show was shown after the finale of Red vs Blue season 12, and RWBY Volume 2 Episode 9.Youtube (30 September 2014). X-Ray & Vav Teaser Trailer. Blake Shortland. Retrieved 4 October 2014.
*In RWBY, characters are sometimes seen reading an X-Ray and Vav comic, with the Achievement Hunter logo in the top corner.
*The team name started in the Halo 4 "Terminus" achievement guide, in which Gavin signed in as 'Vav' and then asks Ray if he's ever been called 'X-Ray'.
*Most characters in this series are based off the characters their voice actors have previously come up with in previous Achievement Hunter videos, such as The Mad King, or The Corpirate.
*The heroes wear similar outfits with different color schemes: the main suit of X-Ray is green, with a white circle containing two green thunderbolts crossing in an X formation on the chest, plus black gloves, boots, cape, and crotch protector, while Vav has blue where the green is, red where the black is, and a V under a bowler hat both in British flag coloration on his chest. Both of their logos inspired Rooster Teeth t-shirts, which depict the logo on a shirt the same color as the respective hero's main outfit.
*Some of the character elements are based on prior Rooster Teeth and Achievement Hunter videos: Vav's "Slow-Mo Hands" power is based on Gavin's role in the Slow Mo Guys, Ryan's 'Mad King' character name (and his outfit) are from Achievement Hunter's Let's Play Minecraft series, in which Ryan is often dubbed the "Mad King" (and his Minecraft Skin, Scottish Steve, is the basis for his outfit), and Geoff's character "The Corpirate" is based on his custom character from the Let's Play WWE '13/2K14 video. These continued in Season 2 with the additions of Mogar (Michael's warrior alter ego, also from Minecraft, and with the bear hood sharing the same basis as The Mad King's outfit), Flynt Coal (also of Minecraft origin, but as a recurring joke whenever flint or coal is found), and Dragonface (Kerry, who has it as his main nickname). Only X-Ray, Rusty, Ash, Hilda, ORF, and the randoms don't have a confirmed RT or AH-linked aspect, though X-Ray's name may be due to Ray wearing glasses and X-Ray having a special red-lens pair.
