[@dulguunjargal1199]

(Bit of a Giant Geopolitical 🤓 here) Honestly when you think about it a flock of Doves carrying a bomb is a good way to represent peace in the modern times because every dove is a Military Power on the world stage that has the ability to start WW3 and they are all working together or atleast agreeing to not start WW3. And every time a one of those powers start a conflict of their own that flock dies or cuts its rope to the bomb making it more likely for the bomb to become too heavy and drop out of the sky starting WW3 and ending everything that was below it being a functioning modern society.

[@richardmoore609]

One of the plans on the blue table in the beginning was for a pigeon bomb

[@TextualDeviant]

Actually, there's an easter egg that proves that they actually did use that plan. It just, didn't work. Let's just say that, somewhere out there, a group of pidgeons flew off towards the reds with the bomb, and did not arrive at the destination. They did not arrive at any intended destination. Instead, the pidgeons- carrying a bomb straight off a payload cart that takes multiple humans to trudge along, between the five of them somehow- _wandered_ around their target, rather than actually executing on the plan by... dropping the bomb. Most likely, what happened is the tied-up birds scavenged off of the batllefield, pulling around the bomb as they did so, before eventually getting unlucky with a stray bullet or explosive, being atomized immediately as the closest living things to the payload. Followed by whatever even unluckier people happened to be in the range of the Monster Bash centerpoint-sized, instantly deadly explosive.

He drops his medigun, lets his coat fly off in the wind, and just stands there reaching slightly towards where he just watched one of his friends get crushed beneath several dozen tons of steel.

When Medic's beam breaks off of Heavy after the train hits him, you just see Medic's grit turn to emotionlessness and hopelessness. He doesn't care when he loses his coat. He doesn't care that 15 feet to his right is a symphony of crashes, slices, carnage and chaos. He doesn't even notice the train car barreling towards him. Scout gets him out of the way, saving his life. When he sits up, he doesn't stand up. He just stares at the tracks, where Heavy was.

At 5:04, Sniper watches in shock and disappointment as Scout breaks the side view mirror. At 11:57, we get to witness Heavy bend the barrel of a gun 90 degrees in less than a second with a single hand, then proceed to fold Spy's spine in half by driving his whole body 2 feet into the ground, leaving Spy in more shock and confusion than pain.

Archimedes! the faint Team Fortress logo on top of Sniper's campervan!) - the amount of work put into the music and sound effects - how fluid all the character movement is (Scout is particularly impressive with all the running and jumping) - how goddamn FAST they made that train move - how good the expressions are (that "oh, shit" look on Sniper's face is great) - the detail on even relatively tiny things such as the chess pieces and cats (and the eye twitch from Medic that absolutely _sends_ me every time) - how dialogue is completely unnecessary because of the great storytelling - even though the movement is very fluid all the characters move in a way that makes sense for them (Scout is all limbs, Soldier moves very directly, Spy is graceful, etc.) - the attention to the touch of comedy provided by Soldier - the amazing camera work (particularly during the train chase) - the fact that the bomb key has a little rail crossing symbol on top (the DETAIL, people) - the rain of squeaking rubber ducks offsetting the drama - the fact that the BLU Spy turning up is a complete surprise - the hilarious reminder that Sniper is still stuck halfway up the mountain

Red cannonically wins so...

[@Antroz0n]

This entire cinematic should've been its own gamemode called "Train Sabotage", where you're actually in the train, and the red team would start at the last cart, while the Blu team would start near the front. The red team would have to capture 5 control points, (so 5cp and 1 control point for each cart). Despite the fact that the trains would have to be a quite comically large, by themselves they would be too contained, so there'd probably be a lot of hand-built wooden platforms and/or outer railings on the sides. You could also go on the roofs of the train carts too, (though not every cart will have a roof, and one of the control points would be open with few barricades/storage crates for cover). The time limit would be continuous, (but it would be long enough to be reasonable), and as the time goes down the background would slowly change. It would start at the snowy area, to the mountains, and very slowly have the sunset start to fade in as it then goes into the tunnel, then after emerging it's the warm forest area. If the time were to run out, it would ram right into the barrels of dynamite and explode the whole town, (and despite there being the orphanages, it could be said that they were evacuated as a precaution if the red team were to fail). I also think it'd have to be 9v9, (18 players), where every player would have to excel at only 1 certain class, meaning no multiple of the same classes. (It would be kinda a pseudo-competitive). Because I just feel that 12v12 would just be too much. These are just some thoughts I had after rewatching this SFM, even though there's probably a lot of flaws with them, I still think that with enough polish it could be something. Open to criticism on my ideas, and I'm curious as to what else anyone can come up with.

Heavy, in placing his king piece in front of the others, actually made a poetic statement of leadership, being an honorable leader. I like to think he did that on purpose, finding joy in the small poem, and giggling. The medic didn’t understand and thought that he made a stupid chess move. And being a doctor in literature, heavy is accustomed to thinking things over methodically and is why he takes so long to make his move.

this entire sequence at 3:14 is actually brilliant. The attention to detail, the angles, the shots. Sniper and Scout just standing motionless in shock and dismay as the train blurs past. Absolutely insane.

[@Lucretiel]

Also how Sniper takes all the stairs but Scout just jumps down

The still of them off to the side as the train goes by is actually my desktop background lmao

I like how the mercenaries from red are clean and shaved indicating their success, while the mercenaries from blu just look tired

[@thisrandomguy5900]

They haven't had shipments in 72 days

[@Kabirdix]

It's probably also something to do with where they're posted. RED probably wouldn't look so hot if they were living up the mountains like that

[@raymondfisheriii791]

The Scout and Sniper posted at what I can assume is the lookout point were bored and tired as well, it looked like, and RED is currently down two members with Sniper in his current position(M.I.A. Until further notice), and the Engineer was a spy, so there’s a good chance he’s dead, if not captured. So while their conditions in camp are pretty good in comparison, they are currently down on manpower, especially since the engineer is the only other scientific mind they have aside from the Medic

[@innocuousguy123]

that's because someone on red rolled a medic and engineer

[@VaporStrikeX2]

@@raymondfisheriii791 You count the RED manpower at the end of the video, but apparently not the BLU. Spy was incapacitated/captured, sniper was a popsicle and was in no way going to contribute to anything, and soldier, engineer, heavy, and demoman are incinerated. That leaves them with pyro, and the absent medic (and scout, whoops). I'd say RED still wins in manpower.

[@RogueButler]

Reminder, the ubercharge ran out halfway through Heavy pushing the train, so cannocially speaking, in this universe, the red heavy is stronger enough to survive half a rogue train crushing him

[@sirsaucy122]

I still can't get over how, once scout jumps from the train, it's all one shot that just looks so intense and clean. Especially when a train car goes through the building, it's so satisfying.

[@dubioustheatreyt8096]

Honestly that building destruction was film-level quality. You don't see a lot of bits-n-pieces type destruction in SFM videos, and to see a building get smoothly eradicated like that was so cool.

In some comics that exist, he said that he knows how to play but preferes to trick his opponent that heavy does not know how to play chess

knowing Heavy's character, him protecting what he cares about, seeing the scene was even more epic for me, I'm happy I stumbled upon this again.

this animation was so carefully animated. the little details, i noticed from the comments.

It’s so nice to see that this animation has aged well and still one of the best Source Filmmaker I have seen even after 6 years.
