[@Wazgrel]

I’ve had rough 2.5 years. Only 1 episode left to make. I can’t tell when will I get to it. I’m only one person and these videos are very difficult to make. I just hope I didn’t jump the shark with Episode 6. I never intended this part to be so big/convoluted. Things got out of hand. Also, each episode in the series is a bit of an experiment, where I try different things. Seeing what works and what doesn’t. So I approach production in an unconventional way. The pacing and music might be off in some parts, but I did my best to make it watchable. Hope everyone enjoys it for what it is. Don’t forget that that I have twitter where you guys can see progress updates about my videos and projects: twitter.com/Wazgrel You can also support me by donating whatever amount you like to my PayPal tipping jar: www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=FTARWFDS686Q6 Edit: I also re-branded my channel name to my initials for privacy reasons.

[@xZoroarkx101]

So that RED supposedly civilian Spy used to be on Pyro’s team, but quit when Pyro was consumed by the helmet :0 And Pyro, just like Scout, wanted revenge for his dead friends. As someone said in the premiere chat, it’s an endless cycle. Great job on the animation and story! :] You deserve a nice break before starting on the last episode.

[@AngelicN0va261]

I think, that Red Pyro from 2Fort was consumed by the helmet because he wanted to survive. It would be like the Scout, who wanted revenge for his teammates and to survive. And like the new Pryo at the beginning. Scout and the new Pyro’s teams are dead, both left in near death situations. It would make sense yeah? I don’t know why he probably killed Red Spy, maybe it was because he left the team and didn’t help the Pyro, or the 2fort Pyro, Is asking for his help.

[@tackyoptic]

@@AngelicN0va261 well the spy knew what the deal was with the helmet, yeah? And from the looks of it he bailed so he could make sure heavy was safe and didn't want to risk it with the pyro since they had the helmet on. Their job was to find and destroy it, but they obviously failed, so the best thing for spy to do would be to just leave. I don't think he killed the red spy, unless you meant the blue one then yeah its about revenge

[@AngelicN0va261]

TAc In a comment I made I thought maybe the 2Fort Pyro was asking the RED Spy and Heavy for help. I also gave my reasoning to why the Pyro seemingly recognized the BLU Spy even though it isn’t the old 2fort spy, it’s a different one.

[@ludvigmaxis5587]

If this is endless cycle it means that cycle can be broken! Isn't it?

[@AngelicN0va261]

Ze Docta Is Here Technically, yes, the cycle can be broken but since there is no respawn there are always casualties. And those casualties usually leave a single survivor, possibly more. The RED Team’s mission will most likely to always destroy the helmet while BLU Team’s is unknown. So the cycle will continue for a very long time so long as teams die and a single survivor wishes to survive with the helmet nearby and they know what it does. As far as we know it has only been the new RED team Pyro and a BLU Scout who knew what it does, and wanted to live. I have no clue about what happened to the 2fort RED Pyro before he killed basically all of BLU 2Fort team.

[@ViewingChaos]

Firstly- I know this might get lost in the hundreds of comments, but I simply have to say that this series is incredible. I have no higher praise to give for the atmosphere, the characters, the themes. Every individual part adds up to an entirely beautiful whole. I’d wait 50 years to rewatch and fall in love with the series all over again. The subtle emotion in the faces, the realistic fights and details. You should be damn proud of yourself for this. Legendary series. I’ll watch the next episode no matter what.

I genuinely didn't believe you'd actually finish this, as your description on the last episode made me think that this was another creator who made a project that got out of hand and the fanbase had made them resent having ever made it. Please, please, please, do not let toxic fans force you to rush anything on the last episode. Far too often I've seen creators who have made some fantastic works and have found that they resent what they've made and want it out of their lives because of their fanbase, and it breaks my heart when that happens, because making something like this should be an extension of your personality. It should be a way to see into your mind and experience things that you think about and imagine often enough to be able to animate it. It's fantastic to see you back, and I look forward to your next work. Keep at it.

Jesus Chriiist. I've watched a lot of animations. A hell lot of animations. SFM, GMod, etc., and this isn't the first 30 minute masterpiece I've seen. But this tops them all in terms of surrealism, atmosphere building, origin stories, and general **horror**. The surreal imagery was fantastic, and despite not understanding a lot of it, I loved every second of it, from the jagged spikes to the crows, and there were excellent callbacks to the previous episodes. I love the depth you've given each character even with bare minimal voicelines. This surpassed all my expectations by so much. Take your time and rest, you deserved it!

It must have been, 3 years ago when I first watched Once Upon a Time in 2fort and then I continued to watch Ghosts of the Past. While this series isn't the reason I started playing TF2, this is one of the reasons why I got more into the game and stayed with it. I bought and still own an Unusual Vintage Tyrolean (Aces High), painted Australium Gold because I love this series so much. I'd say the 2 years wait for this episode was definately worth it. An amazing piece of animation. I don't care how long until the last episode comes out, as long as it does. Take as much time as you need to work on it, I get how strenuous animating can be.

Rewatched this series, and yep, it is as incredible as I remember. Now with some more knowledge on filmmaking and storytelling as a whole, I can say with certainty that you checked all the boxes for a compelling and masterful tale. These episodes still tear my heart apart; the emotion you convey is visceral at times and I appreciate you immensely for it. I still can’t believe that you created this story and shared it with us here on KZbin, for free, fully uncertain if you were going to gain the viewer count and recognition you did, and when the views skyrocketed, keep going despite the burnout, stress, and workload. The symbolism, focus on emotional and mental fallout, and film references, remains my favorite key aspects of these videos. I can see the absolute hell you went through to make these as well now: took one look at SFM and noped the hell out. I hope wherever you are and however you’re doing, you remain in good health and happiness. You continue to be one of my major creative inspirations, and still drive me to create as well. Thank you, and have a good one! P.S. Tell your bird I said hi and give ‘em a good ol’ pet.

I loved every second of this. So much mystery solved, yet with even more questions to think about. You built it up into this incredibly supernatural and sinister climax that then falls off steadily in a still eerie way. Its what i love most about good stories. That transition in atmosphere. You're watching a tense, realistic squad mission and the next thing you know shit goes haywire like Lovecraftian horror. The thought put into it is unreal. Not to mention the sounds, detail, and cinematography! And its all built off of one of the most mysteriously intriguing characters i remember seeing in a SFM film. A massive congratulations and props to what you've done here!

[@algebruht4074]

DON'T BE SORRY FOR ANYTHING!!!!!! I thought you were done with this series cause you said it stressed you out and such, if this is just too much for you I understand, but if you do make the last episode then take lots of breaks, find some inspiration, and TAKE. YOUR. TIME. We'll be here no matter how long it takes. You've made something amazing, even if it didn't get the finest of attention. WHICH IT SHOULD HAVE!!!!!! I hope things get better or you in the long run, not just with KZbin but with life itself. Don't let comments and such pressure you into it, do whatever is better for YOU!!!!

[@sdgx0]

[@Wazgrel]

I'm sorry it's taking so long. I couldn't animate due to problems in real life. Right now I found time to actually finish the final episode and have been working on it every day. I will make an announcement on approximate release date with screenshots from the video on April 12th on my Ko-fi page! Stay tuned!

Tbh this sfm has the most involved story i've ever seen. This could straight up be a tv show

[@elitely6748]

This truly is the greatest sfm for *STORY ESPECIALLY* ,drama, emotion. Rarely do I cry or any movie,show, or video make me do so or get emotional. I just adore what you have done, I was so captivated. I wish you the best in life, because you gave me more inspiration for SFM and art. *This whole series and your work is the reason Saxxies should be continued* Just so much soul, heart, time and effort put into this masterpeice. Pop Pop Cheerio!

[@expiredbraincell58]

Alright so from watching it all here is my small theory. Im guessing the helmet is like a gate way (what i mean is it makes a accessable road for the crow which seems to the helmets spirit or the devil) now the pyro got back to life because he snag the lifesourse from the sniper that scout killed. For a few seconds we can see red scout being tortured which seems to be a penality of some kind for reviving a dead person. That being said, the person who has control of red pyro seems to be pyro himself considering he saw what is happening to them in "hell" if you will. Also Remember when he said to the group that he found him/them? That might be the heavy and spy we saw drunk at their room. Anyhow this is a great way to tie of some loose ends before the last one comes out :p tip of the hat for you for making this story even more interesting

[@irish14sean]

You have no idea how much this made my day. Thank you for continuing this.

This series is a legend and always will be 👍🏻👌🏻

[@ordax2486]

Thanks to you I want to come back to this game no matter that Valve does not remember about it but the community creates this game, it is unique and can not be replaced by people like you this game is alive you reminded me of my childhood when on my junk computer did not run cool games but Team Fortress so always remember about people like you because it is something amazing and thank you for your contribution to this game :)

[@SennCor]

I need to rewatch this series because i forgot lmao.

[@ვაკოჭრიკიშვილი]

It began as a masterpiece and and like a masterpiece. Great work, thank you for such devotion.

[@cintacadena2]

Aaaahhhhhh!!!! I love your videos! They're so chilling and grimdark, but the story is also really interesting! I love the symbolism and the flow of the story; it's obscure enough to provide that atmosphere of dread, but the scenes flow in such a way that the story makes sense and is still easy to follow! I love how the main antagonist turned from a faceless, unknowable horror into this dynamic character with personality and goals!! I JUST LOVE THIS!!!!

[@iffyt]

I know this is really hard to make, hell i actually don't know what a pain in the ass this could be, but i just want to let you know that i really enjoy the series, i'm sure everyone does. Looking forward to the last episode! Best of wishes.

[@Adm1ralDoom]

Hard to believe I've been keeping up with this series for so many years now... You do such an amazing job and somehow manage to outdo yourself every episode. You deserve all the praise :)

[@Wazgrel]

Thank you!!! :)

[@Paicer2033]

I was so excited to figure out there were more after watching Once upon a time in 2fort and behind the mask. You really have genuine sense about composing scenes and telling stories.. I really feel sad about scout tho, really wish he somehow survived like pyro did(by seemingly taking the soul of sniper who was killed by scout? maybe scout can take the demoman's with octopus hat) I don't care how long it would take for the next episode. I would definitely come back to watch it

[@Wazgrel]

Thank you so much! Once I figure out my problems irl I will come back to animating the final chapter! :)

[@ryzo280]

@@Wazgrel Final chapter!?!? Cant waittttt

[@lmrls1187]

What an absolute masterpiece

[@BlueCheesecake22]

So to be honest, I did not expect a background story of the Pyro, I found it great, of course, now we know at least once how it went out. What I found so interesting about your videos is that after every further episode more and more questions appear where you don't exactly know if there is an answer for this one, for example (is the Blue Scout still alive? ) (what does Pyro have in mind with Spy? ) or ( why did pyro shoot Demoman?). These are some questions that are constantly going through our minds. Very good Work and keep it up for the last Episode. PS: Don't worry that it took a long time, many of us can take it. 😉

[@chaoz7370]

Pyro ripped Scout's throat out in 5, so I am pretty sure he's dead, no idea what Pyro wants with Spy, my best guess is revenge for Spy abandoning him, but I aint really sure. As for Demo, either Pyro killed him for his failure, as per Ep 5, or he killed him cuz, as we saw, the RED team's souls seem to be tortured, so maybe killing thim in this Limbo state the Pyro keeps them in frees them, but thats just a guess really. The mysteries KJ creates are amazing and I freaking love it.

[@chaoz7370]

@Adrian Sigales You're right about the crow eating helmet victims, but we can see Pyro's team being tortured by some demonic entity as well, so it is probably safe to say Pyro is mercy killing his old team mate. Probably.

[@Silvanor0]

This series is by far the best SFM series I have ever seen. Really has been quite a long running journey ever since the Once apon a time in 2fort SFM I have been heavily following into this series. The amount of time you've spent to make this amazing series is something that I really admire about you. From story telling, to the characters personality and the scenery to fit the narrative is what I consider this to be one of the best that you, Konstantine, deserve to be remembered by the community because of the hours you've worked on this piece of art and what you have accomplished with this piece of art you have shown to us. Seriously dude, thank you for your hardwork over the years. I really don't know how to describe how happy I am. Please, have a great time and enjoy your break. You deserve it!

[@medicmist]

This could make an amazing horror film (if its not already)

[@kanethekid5102]

I have never been more happy to randomly check this channel again to re watch for nostalgia only to see this

[@PreeSpunky]

Wait, all of this was kind of just a psychedelic recap of events from a different perspective. The scenebuilding was great and the dreamlike sequences were godlike, but what was the point of this episode? To prop up the final episode? It felt like the story took two steps back, then two steps forward. I love the experimentation, but honestly this one was a bit disappointing imo. Ah well, still love your stuff and can't wait for the finale :]

[@alphads2000]

its the origin of the pyro

[@beef9785]

I think it was a build up for the final episode,beacuse what happened to the pyro is important to the end of the series

[@PreeSpunky]

@@beef9785 That's what I'm banking on as well. But if it's pivotal to the plot, it should've been made known naturally throughout the series rather than being dumped on us in one video. It makes the story stagnant and it feels like the creator is making up story beats after the fact. I'm still eagerly awaiting for the finale, but recap videos just aren't my thing

[@YelMalanta]

I think it really glues everything together, sometimes you do have to go backwards to understand the full grasp of everything. I do get where you are at though... I think what he was trying to do was make it so we are on the Pyro's side at the end, as we saw him as a monster before, however we are suppose to switch sides now? Basically sympathy for the pyro trying to redeem himself and fix the shit he has caused.

Why are you keep saying "Sorry"? This is a masterpiece! Holey Moley, I say this was worth the wait, you don't have to say sorry when you give to us such a magnificent video man! I beg you continue with this series, but it is most important that you take your time care of yourself, we can keep waiting because you upload videos with such high quality!

[@skarodexttm8249]

No... Way... OMG I can't wait to watch this! I've had so many theories and ideas while waiting for this. It is understandable that this road has been tough for you @K.R. but that is just the beauty of being human. Unfortunately, now I have to go back for a long recap. BRB!
