Its a little uncanny coming back to this video after comic 7 finally came out and how they ALMOST got the spy without his mask design EXACTLY right

[@quiru_dakas]

that spy model is old+ it doesnt capture spy being scout's dad

[@PigeonLord]

The maskless spy in-comic is likely based on the fan model anyways. That's what Valve did with the administrator; she was designed by a fan. I don't think anyone would have been happy to see him look any other way tbh.

[@DrSabot-A]

The unmasked spy design is extremely old, first saw it back in 2015 and there were already plenty of animations using that model

[@yeeaaa]

or maybe the comic is based off of it as a nod possibly

[@tundra4331]

Had he not shown his face before then?

[@bitnn4703]

Can we talk about Spy for a second? When Spy says "Who is there to save ME, Jules?" He overlooks Soldier. Soldier not only saved him once, during the confrotation with Heavy, but twice, when he tackled Spy to cover. He overlooks the fact it was his own fault, not Soldiers, that the Car blew up. He overlooks that Soldier just couldn't save him, not that he didn't try. When he flicks the cigeratte at Pyro, he never crossed his mind that he would've gotten burnt. He never realized that almost everything bad that happened to him was his own fault, and you could argue that his murder was technically his own fault too, since his insane depravity lead to Medic murdering him. He's a massive fucking hypocrite.

[@technoturnovers7072]

yeah, the canon Spy would consider this dude a fucking hack amateur and "disgrace to spies everywhere" (that's the voice line when a Spy dominates an enemy spy ingame.) His acting sucks (getting caught out as a fake at the crime scene), he didn't matador backstab the Heavy at the beginning of the movie despite having a clear opportunity to, he barely even shoots anyone with his revolver, and just is a fuckup in general.

The scenes where time loops and the characters are watching themselves from earlier moments were beautifully chilling. Soldier himself being the guy he threw the crowbar at, Medic being the one who knocked over the box of tapes. They could no longer depend on reality, and neither could we as viewers. It's open to many interpretations, but after Medic kills the Conaghers, the Slaughterhouse seemed to change from an actual physical location into a surreal limbo; designed to torture anyone inside with individually tailored anguish. Anything that happened inside could've been real, hallucinated, space-time distortions, or all of the above.

@@vilxux9752 It's all about the Respawn Machine that brings dead Team members back to life. It's not perfect. It's failures leave unpredictable changes in their minds, psyches, & bodies (sometimes even resulting in another immediate or not so immediate physical death again). Let's face it, even by the standards of the world they live in (ie- the background lore in the comics & various videos), these guys are clinically insane. They had their mental quirks even before being hired & experimented on for this purpose but each respawn they go through further solidifies how bad they are at functioning even in the warped society where they came from. They were chosen because they were the very few who *survived* the initial testing & experimentation but that was by no means leaving them unscathed. The mental scarring is the worst, even if they don't retain any conscious memories after walking out of the machine, there is still the lasting emotional impact. they have to deal with. How else can they find the idea that they're fighting copies of themselves on the opposing Team as being "normal?" Why is it pretty much only those nine people that get thrown into the meat grinder of war? These are just two ideas that they deal with on a daily basis, never really having someone else to unload their mental burdens or help them cope with them. They only have each other even though they're all stuck in the same situation & have no opportunity to see outside of it. What kind of mental stress do they go through every time they're "reconstituted" by that machine? Twenty seconds to respawn "in game" is a long time to a mind on the edge of true death... "It's eternity in there." The human mind was never wired to understand the true meaning of eternity.

My man went from a somewhat unintelligent goofball as a sidekick to a cold, silent and traumatized lone survivor from WW2 and the Slaughterhouse. Even losing his Demo pal and betrayed by Spy.

[@kingcamelot1395]

And one thing of note, Soldier's perspective on this is the one that we almost know for sure we can trust. 1. The obvious, he's the only character who doesn't die, and thus, never experiences the horror of the respawn machine 2. In the beginning of the movie, he told Spy he's never taken Emesis Blue, which has known side effects like violent nightmares and vivid hallucinations. Everything we see him see, we can safely assume that it is real.

[@Nineball459]

Some interesting things I noticed while watching Scout picks up a movie called M (1931), a famous German thriller about a man in black that kills children. He’d paint a bloody M on his palm which stood for Murder. The movie’s director also shares the same first name with the BLU medic: Fritz. Both archibald and scout have stitched wounds on the left side of their head. After Soldier meets Archibald, his head wound is gone, but he is then shot in the exact place his stitches used to be. The color black is synonymous with death. All the undead mercenaries wear it, the RED sniper switches to black attire once he becomes another member. The BLU spy’s trenchcoat is scorched black. The BLU medic wears all black when he emerges from the coffin (which is foreshadowed in an earlier dream sequence) Also for my own personal theory on the plague doctor: I believe it to be a representation or incarnation of Death. It's possible the plague doctor is an alter ego of the medic as well, but I won't go into that as there are a few inconsistencies that disprove this theory. The plague doctor being Death could be shown in how it only seems to manifest or appear where someone has died, or where death is in abundance (the war flashback). It also wears all black, which as shown is symbolic of death in this film. The plague doctor guides the BLU team to the slaughterhouse to uncover the truth, but also in guiding them there, results in the death of all the "undead" creatures that eluded it. It looks on in approval when Fritz executes the BLU spy and begins a slaughter at the funeral.

[@landfillmedia]

To add onto this, there are several references to Kubrick's work. The most noticeable examples I saw being two from The Shining (the scenes featuring doors opening and releasing a flood, The Red Bathroom ambiguously representing some sort of afterlife) and one from Dr. Strangelove (The War Room scene, it's already an asset in TF2, but the framing and black-and-white coloring really hones in on the reference to the original movie.) There could be more but those were the ones I remembered on first viewing.

they are prob in purgatory refrence at the beginning at the movie saying “ what road?” then the cop replying with “ purgatory rd” i know they cooking something up because no way they did that on accident i may be onto something here since they also refrence perhaps catholic part when doc is fighting pyro where he goes into a booth where you confess your bad doings and while holding a cross which could indicate that they or he is in purgatory . thank you for reading

[@mecoolmecool387]

and catholicism involves purgatory where you pay your time in suffering for what bad things you have done in your life

First we went from short animated funny skits to full length horror films. I swear, the SFM community has not only put another nail in the coffin of Hollywood but also outdone their horror movie industry! This was so well done!

It’s amazing that even though there are little scenes of medic and scout interacting, the fact that medic was willing to put his life in danger, and even went to the respawn machine to try and bring back his friend really showed me how close medic was to scout. Scout was probably the only family medic had. After losing scout medics sanity declines and it really is heartbreaking.

[@DogDogGodFog]

I still don't understand though. Is Medic the killer? And if yes, does he kill subconsciously on the Emesis Diazepam drug?

[@DelusionalDunmer]

​@@DogDogGodFog It seems that when Medic regenerates he is currently blacked out, and another force is in control of his body. People speculate its literally Satan because in Tf2 lore Medic sold his soul to the devil and became pretty much immortal, which is why he goes psycho after regenerating. However, Medic wasn't the killer. You can see the Pyro at 12:28 with the weapon he used to hack off Scout's mom's head. Which is also why the Medic used the same tactic the Pyro used on the Sniper, with Pyro's own head, as a sort of vengeance for Scout and his mom (1:19:56).

[@LongClawzHidden]

Oh shit, you're right! It WAS the pyro! Pyro was trying to gaslight Medic into thinking he had killed Scout, and most likely had the RED Medic pretend he was the BLU medic to make the Scout think it was the BLU Medic that did it. The mercs at the slaughterhouse most likely knew the effects of Emesis and Valium, and knew that BLU Medic would be hallucinating, so the easiest way to make him lose his sanity is to make him think he did it.

The tunnel soldier was in I believe the roaring was from the mutant scout he stabbed in the head with the crowbar because of how the lights in the tunnel went out like when he encountered him on the stairs.

1:39:50 I really like Soldier's Arc on this film, in the beginning he seems determined to fulfill his duty to Archibald and rescue him, and in the end he is like "fuck these rich assholes" and helps the Medic escape, after all the horrrors they've been through, they are the ones who survived, and they earned the right to kill the Mann Brothers and give them Retribution for the horrrors they have endured

This is the greatest approach to a horror style TF2 SFM. The characters go insane more and more while it goes and it’s just so dark and amazing. A lot of times you don’t even know of what the characters are looking at is real of not. Also engi with he double barrel shotgun makes me wish that engi actually did have a double barrel shotgun as a primary.
