    Your videos are unbelievably impressive. I doubt if these things are all intentional, but the way your work is light, face posed and overall put together reminds me of the well crafted early saxxies from 8 years ago. The motion-capture work on display here is the best of the best, and i hope to be as good one day.

      You and K.R are amazing animators I tried to get into sfm, and still am and it is one of the hardest things I have ever tried
      But you are right k.r has some of the best detail in his sfms
      And after this episode I wonder if spy is dead or not

    Holy shit. Pyro is a psychotic killer because he watched as his friends dropped to the ground lifeless. He attempted to resurrect them. Now look what he is. Behind that mask is a twisted man who has made things very wrong. That helmet has made him see, do and think things he never wanted to. All because his strike team was murdered.

    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

    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 was twelve when i first saw "Once upon a time in 2fort" , as well as discovered saxxy awards, and the vibrant world of SFM with it. Till death do us apart, lil pyro, cult of personality... All these great stories, great animations...
    Somehow only now did this video show up in my recomendations... And together with watching it, it was as if a wave of nostalgia hit me hard... Vult of personality, has never recieved a propper sendoff... Lots of other creators stopped making videos... Saxxy awards just sort of dissapeared.. and the game itself is dying... And I honestly forgot about you, just assumed that episode 5 would be the last one.
    I am now 20. And I cannot describe how many feelings this episodes appearance in my feed, has created.
    Thank you!
    Thank you for working your ass all these years. And for the fact that you still intend to end it, and make another episode. \
    Thank you for the last 7 years, and I hope I'l see your masterpiece in a year or two.

    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
      @AngelicN0va261 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      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
      @tackyoptic 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@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

      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.

      @AngelicN0va261 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      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.

    Now I understand why Pyro only took BLU Spy's body with him from the graveyard. His and Scout's stories are not so different. They both lost their team, wanted revenge and became what they are now because of this helmet...

    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.

    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.

    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.
    Also is that a Jacob's Ladder reference at 25:56? If so, fucking nice.

    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 TH-cam, 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!

    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!

  • @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

    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. 😉

      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.

    3 years worth the wait.
    I love how even after 8 years since that first SFM video in this series, he still throws in the Saxxy reference. Iirc, he didn't win for the drama category, and was really bitter about it (at least at first, might not be the case now) which was why Pyro shoved a Saxxy down spy's throat to kill him in OUaTi2F part 2.
