[SFM] The Right Man In The Wrong Place

I love this new way people have been interpreting Gordon Freeman as a character recently. These edits are great.

[@themedic7933]

It's a really unique way of exploring the toll that the events of the games must have on his mind.

[@k0rf3on6]

It seems like people are turning Gordon from a mute husk, into a character of his own. Kind of like the Master Chief from Halo was supposed to be a vessel for the player. But as we all know, in later games he became something more than just a vessel. And I kinda like that Freeman is becoming a character. Scarred by the horrible events he was forced to take part in. If there ever will be a half-life 3 like the game, touching on the effects of Alyx's changing the fate of her father... I think it would be accepted by everyone, if Gordon said a few words, just at the very end. Something like "Finally." or, "I did it." You know.

[@thefox1863]

Exactly, I hate when amazing games severely minimize the protagonist to the point of making him an empty shell without emotions just to "give experience to the player" that for me even damages the story a little and how the world portrays the main character. you can see that in Deltarune and Undertale for example, two spectacular games with mediocre protagonists that don't even have a proper genre, but Kris even has a merit for almost having a personality.

[@dkskcjfjswwwwwws413]

@@thefox1863 i dont think kris or frisk need a personality when everything around them has one

Silent protagonists are a shell to insert yourself into. But Gordon is a shell after everything he’s been through.

[@toaster9922]

0:19 the way Gordon lazily lifts up the pistol and sets it back down after firing speaks volumes. He's so desensitized to everything at this point.

[@nothing-sc2wj]

i thought g-man was gonna hand him his crowbar and gordon would just give him the "thanks, appreciate it" look since he was putting his glasses on sorta like in the cutscene

Hey, not bad for a first time using sfm. Give yourself a pat on the back, you did good.

[@jonnekallu1627]

Gordon is silent because there are no words

[@IJNAoba9-25-26]

Like how even though Gordon is this complete powerhouse who is seemingly unstoppable, he's completely miserable. Even when he escaped the clutches of the G-man, he's still being ordered to do something, either going to a location, fetching an item, or stopping a certain enemy. Ironic that Gordon Freeman, humanity's mascot of freedom, isn't a Free man.

[@mobydanger]

this is pretty good for a first time. look forward to seeing what else you have in store.

[@gwg2813]

Remember, the entire campaign of half life to episode two take place on like, three days. The only thing Gordon has had to consume is Black Mesa's chips and soda, along with Xen healing juice, dirty water in the Canals, if he started drowning, and the grub nuggets.

The right man in the right place: *Adrian Shepard* (GMAN’s original interest) The right man in the wrong place: *Gordon Freeman* (GMAN’s new interest) The wrong man in the right place: *Barney Calhoun* (Never meant to be considered but nonetheless contributed to later events) The wrong man in the wrong place: *Eli Vance* (Never meant to be at Black Mesa during the events of HL, if it meant parenting Alyx for the future)

[@v8matey]

Some blackmesa edits would be awesome. Show him being happy at a staff party or something. Next scene Show Gordon in the same room surrounded by dead work colleagues, killed by creatures from Xen.

These videos are always funny to me, Freeman is the most baddass guy out there, someone surrounded by action and chaos who skips sleep or break and is always alert to his surroundings, but he's portrated as someone who's depressed because of the hand he is dealt lol I mean, it's true he hates this and all those deep things, but he never shows it. He's too focused on his task

[@ANANAS1K007]

Well, at some point Gordon would get tired or just stop for a while and think his life.. he went to work one day.. then there is an alien invasion.. he fight monsters, the military, ends up in space fighting a giant fetus and then he wakes up in the future in a post invasion earth.. and he is up agaisnt the most powerfull empire of the universe. Well.. sh!t!

[@GoatlingBeing]

How many depressive Half Life SFMs im gonna find?

[@nerdherd1819]

I am of a mind that Gordon Freeman should remain a mute protagonist, but that the in-game characters should not react to this. They should, to a degree, talk with him as though he talks with them. We would not have this characterization of the One Free Man if we had had a speaking Freeman. Letting him be mute allows us to use our imagination and create our own Gordon Freeman. He is not a self-insert, but a canvas ready for paint.

[@bno6156]

They tried that in blue shift, it didn’t work well.

[@nerdherd1819]

@B No , I mean that we should mainly stick with how the original Half-Life and how Half-Life 2 did it (with the possible exception of the line where Alyx says "You're a man of few words, huh?"). You have room to imagine in those games. Perhaps Freeman's Mind is what you imagine, perhaps it's something more like a quiet but kind scientist who is simply thrust into this mess, and perhaps it is something wildly different. What allowed us to get Freeman to this point is that Freeman is an undefined character.

[@KORNforcj]

MIT graduate receives literal plot armor. We all knew he had no voice in the matter. The world cascaded around Freeman, but did we ever ask about unforeseeable consequences? No, we took a crowbar into the battle of our minds. What was it all for? One man could be the catalyst to our very end. If only his chains were unbound. Freeman knows the answers to our questions. The answers arent what scare him though, looking in the mirror does.
