i’m not sure if you noticed but Soldier never hallucinated because of the pills, everything he saw was either real or just ptsd flashbacks from the war because of the stress he was experiencing
1:04:48 That burnt face texture comes from Half-Life 2. The reason why it's so terrifying may be because it's not digital art, it's lifted directly from a photo of a real life burn victim taken from a medical book. A TF2ber by the name of Richter Overtime recently did a video on it explaining the whole situation.
The M thing is in reference to a German film from the 1930's that we see scout watching before he is kidnapped. It's about a serial killer that targets children, he is so heinous that other criminals target him and mark him with tge letter M so they can catch him later on. We see two scenes from the movie, one in which the killer is stalking children much like the pyro was stalking scout and we also see when the Medic enters scouts home the scene in which the criminals have captured the murder and are having a kangaroo court before they execute him. The films in the box at the beginning hint at many inspirations and themes of the movie and a knowledge of German films would be very handy to get all of what's being shown.
The reason the shining reference happened was apparently because the malfunction was so bad, the scout was mostly made with too much of his own blood, so the agonizing scream was him basically disintegrating the first second of respawning. I'll also say that your idea of the HoovyDundy gives me a new theory on the TF2 freaks in general.
At the start of the film when the box of tapes are knocked over, their titles hinted at the themes of the entire film. One notable one is "The King in Yellow" which obviously foreshadowing the trippy and warped world the characters find themselves in. The tape Scout stole and played in his home is also about some old German horror story. As for your constant mentioning of HoovyDundy, I'll just put this here. That character isn't remotely a new concept. He is a *Freak,* which for seasoned members of TF2 fandom will instantly recognized it for being an entire genre of TF2 fan contents. If you want to learn more, there is an entire wiki dedicated to them called TF2 FreakShow Wiki, and yes the HoovyDundy have it own page. While they were made by various creators, everyone generally agreed they exist in the same world/canon where there are numerous teams of mercs out there and that some are born/became super powered SCP-esse entities, and can range from useless, comedic, to horror or just straight up weird. Even if it is a standalone thing, it may eventually get a cameo in someone else's work and become connected to the Freak-verse. HoovyDundy's video also specifically mentioned there are other Freaks, so it is pretty much canon it is the same world. HoovyDundy's creation involved a failed Respawn Machine, yes, but again the idea have been toyed around in the community for years, as it is an integral part of TF2 and it cartoon violence which often involve characters dying.
It is a fascinating concept. If the respawn machine is a combination of cloning and some kind of soul trap, then the idea that cloning errors would result in "Freaks" like Painis Cupcake, Hoovy Dundy, and the various participants of this film is very plausible. Combine that with subpar, dangerous medication and you get Emesis Blue.
I feel bad for almost all of them, to be honest. It seems to me that Medic/Ludwig, whatever happened to him during respawn, was completely shattered by it. Something else hitched a ride back in with him.
I've watched this movie over a dozen times by now and I take every excuse to do it again. Chad Payne is a god amongst men for creating this masterpiece.
23:05 That's not the outside of the office, that's the bathroom The one that Medic shattered the mirror in. I think you were right about the actual door though
All the you see in the movie engineers are the Chonager brothers the fat one is mason the one doing the bartending (who had died in dustbowl) is dell and the last one I forgot his name. Also Stalingrad is the actually name of the heavy until he became mr x or the goliath as I call him.
BLU Medic and the Plague Doctor aren't the same person, but who he truly is is a matter of debate; most of the fandom agrees that the Plague Doctor is a sort of Grim Reaper-like figure, representing Death. In the scene where Soldier has a war flashback/vision, he and Medic are playing a game of chess. Make of that what you will....
theres the possibility that it’s medic from the future or more likely the tenth class as whenever he shows up black tendrils start to infect the walls and we see that happen during one of the respawn tests on the tenth class in the beginning
Game of chess be like battle of wits... or morals. A doctor who administers small doses over a long period vs a doctor who amputates. Both could get a job done.
@@WroughWheat54 No. You're all completely wrong. There is actually very little super-natural things going on in this movie. That's one of the "themes" of the movie. The characters are suffering from schizophrenia, which literally means they are unable to hold reality and their own imagination seperate. But if you pick up on the tiny details, you can easily see that everything has a logical explanation. The plauge doctor is NOT a hallucination (at least not most of the time). If he was, explain how Soldier could take a literal picture of him. Neither is he the BLU medic. It would be impossible, because we see BLU medic and Scout drive past soldier in the ambulance, and the plauge doctor's black car arrives for the drop-off just a few seconds after. So who is the plauge doctor? It's pretty obvious that he's the RED Medic, possibly the same RED Medic that revived Heavy and got killed later on (remember that the black car is parked outside the slaughter house). The plauge doctor thing is just a get-up, perhaps to hide his deformed face. BLU Medic's alter ego, is the RED Medic taking possesion of him. The red/blue in his eyes is exactly what it seems, and you're supposed to NOT over-think it. They were both originally the same person, Fritz Ludwig. But they've been living different lives since they were employed at RED/BLU respectively. BLU Medic became a (relatively) good man, while the RED one is a insane psychopath. Maybe because one original soul managed to become two, they are able to possess eachother and engage in a spiritual battle for dominance. As for how medic survived a shotgun to the gut. The bullets broke his medi-pack and leaked out the healing-juice, saving him from the brink of death. And how did medic survive a revolver to the face and appear at the funeral? He didn't. He died during the game, completely. After that he was respawned, with some slight file corruption making him look really pale (like Sniper, but not as bad as Scout). He manged to leave the slaughter house after respawn, just before it all burned down. As for the zombies and why the RED team is nearly impossible to kill... I believe that has to do with experiments ran by RED Medic. They seemed to know that the respawn machine was broken. So to compensate, medic invented a serum that makes you basically imortal. That way they could avoid the respawn machine. The only mystery remaning to me is what the Conagher's and RED team had as motive. From the way Sniper tried to reason with Soldier, and considering Pyro didn't just kill Spy immidiately... I believe they were trying to recruit people to some cause (probably revenge against Archibald, Blutarch and Redmond). But... it's a hell of a dumb way to recruit Scout by killing his mother... Not really sure on that one.
About Emesis Diasepam: The trailer for the movie is an ad for the medicine and it explains why Medic was so shocked when realised that all this time he was talking and prescribing it.
Finally, the greatest and most confusing SFM animation of all time. To clear some mystery, the respawn machine is housing a corrupted hive mind of consciousness that have failed to respawn and have failed to "come through", although a portion of that consciousness leaches into anyone who is respawned. After possession, the hive mind usually takes control of a person completely, though for a short period of time. This amount of time is increased whenever the consciousness takes more control of you: every time you die and respawn, or if you take Emesis Diazepam. After Medic dies by crashing the ambulance, (now in Dell's bathroom,) he realises that he has been taking Emesis Diazepam. With how much control the hive mind had prior to this death, Medic realises that that was the last time he took control of his own body.
My theory on the respawn machine is that it’s similar to the Bioshock infinite Respawn Mechanic, rather than rebuilding the body through cloning it’s more of taking the closest version of the mercenaries from another reality. Of course while there are infinite versions of yourself in different realities, there are other versions might be worse. (Heavy has become a living tank, demo’s missing an arm, sniper now has a pegleg and looks like death, medics second personality and scouts decrease in intelligence) While the body maybe be ok, the mind is not, due it not being able handle being respawned. For us it may be a minute but for the mercenaries it’s an eternity. The Emesis Blue drug is made to counteract the resonance of the mind, enabling it handle being in a different reality but even then it’s a temporary solution, like plugging a dam. When medic drops it, it’s revealed that it’s been out of date for a few years and old drugs might have other side effects
What if they never fixed the "respawn gap" the delay between respawning individuals. Instead, fired up the nextdoor dimension's repawn, use that one's resources, and deliver the person to the correct dimension. The Respawn looks to be connected to somewhere outside reality.
Good theory. I think it was something along the lines of the soul becoming lost/warped by being repeatedly pulled and bound back into the physical world. Maybe even other 'passengers' hitching a ride back in with them... Demons.
Ik this is very late but the movie scout was watching is the tape he took from medics office, it's called "m" and it was made in 1931, it's about a child murderer who puts the letter M on his victims, near the end of the movie someone rights M on their hand in chalk and rubs it on the killer causing him to have the letter M on his jacket, which leads to him getting caught
I feel it'd not really time travel that is occurring in the story. A lot of what seems supernatural might actually be vivid representations of the side effects the drug Valium/Diazepam that has been appearing throughout the film

That scream at the end was a tension releasing scream.
Soldier has endured hell and survived and he can now let it out.

Feel bad for scout in this.
He ran into 2forts Intel room after ditching his medic whilst knowing there was an enemy engie around, he deserved it.

Fortress films probably has a burning passion for scunts
12:38 Scout is watching a movie called M and its about a child murderer
2 hours? it's longer than you think.
I've watched this movie over a dozen times by now and I take every excuse to do it again. Chad Payne is a god amongst men for creating this masterpiece.
yea, BLU is Builders League United and RED is Reliable Excavation Demolition. the more you know
Flew over my head for a long time lol

23:05 That's not the outside of the office, that's the bathroom
The one that Medic shattered the mirror in.
I think you were right about the actual door though
This reaction is summarized in one word: WHAT?
5:17 its actually deeper than that
Deeper than you thought

Yeah, I think I gundeestood most of the film. The big exception was Plague Doctor and his role in all this.

Like mr x the big heavy says “builders League” instead of “S.T.A.R.S” which I thought was a cool detail

He finally watched it.
Finally!
They have another short video on their channel. I would recommend seeing it for a bit more context on this.
Damn, I never expected you to react to this one.
Worth it.
12:35 He`s watching M 1931, which he stole from Medic`s office.
12:34 That would be the 1931’s “M”, the same one he grabbed from Medic’s office? They were a bunch of German movies from pre-WW2.
29:40 They seem to be being in Black team. And they work together, because they are brothers.
something happens
this guy: light work, no reaction
Ik this is very late but the movie scout was watching is the tape he took from medics office, it's called "m" and it was made in 1931, it's about a child murderer who puts the letter M on his victims, near the end of the movie someone rights M on their hand in chalk and rubs it on the killer causing him to have the letter M on his jacket, which leads to him getting caught

M is a movie, and in the movie they planted an M on the murderer to mark him.
M is a movie about a child murderer from 1931.
Damn, another person reacting to this masterpiece.
Ig im not getting sleep
58:41 that's kinda funny ngl💀

Hey dude keep it up
Thanks!
In a way there is one villain..His name was Zepheniah Mann and he had three kids who were evil, they hired evil people and.. well.. yeah.
This is true.
Zephaniah did nothing wrong
