Here is my take on this.
When I first read the description for the "Mutiny" trailer, I first thought "oh great, more complaints about injuries." After watching the trailer I was blown away by the intensity of the shots/overall vibe. From both a riding and cinematographic standpoint, Stept is on an entirely different level than basically any other crew in skiing right now. They know how to make actual films, not just long edits, so I'll wait till I see the actual film before I make any accusations about "taking skiing too seriously." Stept is progressing the sport in a great way right now, and I respect that.
In my opinion, the hood crew callout was lame. Hood crew has a few skiers that go pretty hard, but overall, that crew cannot touch Stept from a riding standpoint, and they absolutely don't even nip at the heels of Stept's production value. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, hood crew clearly doesn't care about the aesthetic value of their edit's and movies, they are just having fun with their friends and filming what they do.
On the other hand, with Mutiny, Stept seems to be trying to display the best skiing and cinematography possible, while weaving it together in a story at the same time.
So here we have two different crews with two different goals, which in my opinion makes comparing them pointless.
