When Scout was respawned by Medic, his body fell apart as the door opened. That's why he became a pool of blood and you can hear screaming. Which is disturbing because all of his nerves and stuff were remade so he was alive while falling apart..and makes sense why Medic looked so traumatized when Scout's baseball rolled to him.
Not just a pool of blood; a pool of EVERYTHING. Skin, muscle, organs, bone, blood, everything that went into a human body, completely liquified. He was only alive long enough to process a single thought: PAIN.
Obviously Emesis Blue is loosely based on canon TF2 lore, but I’ve heard some people have theorized that RED soldier (in Emesis Blue, for the people who think I was referring you to the OG TF2 lore) was the unfit army guy that went to Europe on an unhinged rampage while BLU soldier is an actual war veteran. I don’t know if it’s true, but it’s fun to think about.
I've always liked the idea that the mercs of RED and BLU are actually different people that like and act similar, rather than them being simply being clones. Though the lore itself don't really have much evidence to fully support the theory.
@@MelralCT- There's not much evidence either way. My headcanon is that all of the RED mercs are the only "canon" Team Fortress, with Engi being the only one playing both sides.
it's not true we know red soldier being the unfit violent guy, but we know next to nothing about blu soldier that dichotomy about red is violent while blu is professional was just a joke
@@m4_sherman ah well ok. otherwise, it really is just a joke, just like how blu medic as seen in emesis blu is certified professional while canon red medic is a megalomaniac who lost his license after he somehow got away with stealing a patient's entire skeleton
The different mercenaries suffered different malfunctions upon respawn. Both blue and red mercenaries. Red is easier to explain though. Red Demo suffered limb loss, Red Pyro became horribly burnt to the point of being unable to speak, Red Heavy became an absolute juggernaut akin to Mr X, Red Scout mutated into an animalistic form and finally Red sniper didn’t suffer anything physically, instead he was fully aware during the entire respawn process. You see for everyone on the outside, respawning happens in seconds. But on the inside it goes on and on forever. This is why Sniper seems so absolutely done with everything, he was aware the whole time and as he puts it “it’s an eternity in there” “longer than you think”.
@@WillowTheGremlin the big heavy was the blu heavy that had defected because the red medic said that the subject he was working on was shot in the heart, also with all the torture going on in the slaughter house I think that the demo simply had his arm cut off, but the lanky scout seems to have a blue shirt on so I think it *might* be the result of the manual respawn
The lines “longer than you think” and “it’s eternity in there” are from the short story called ‘The Jaunt’ by Stephen King. The plot is that humanity in the future developed instant teleportation (called jaunting) to travel from place to place and planet to planet, however the catch is that people need to be put to sleep with anesthesia before jaunting. If they aren’t unconscious, their minds become trapped for what seems like an eternity in some blank space when in reality, only a few seconds have passed for everyone else. This would result in the unfortunate person dying on the spot or emerging insane while being dramatically aged up. The same thing basically happens to the mercenaries whenever they respawn, being stuck between life and death for an unimaginable amount of time. They remember little to nothing about their time in eternity besides the Sniper, who remembers everything judging from his lines and being physically deformed in his final appearance.
It's why they're prescribed "valium" aka emesis diazepam to cope with the mental symptoms and degenerations of respawning and to make them forget properly. Unfortunately by the time of the movie the respawn machine was suffering from more frequent and more violent respawn failures.
Some clarifications on what is going on in this movie: The "other soldier" seen in the opening scenes is the tenth respawn compatible mercenary. Apparently he went insane and killed himself, and was deemed too unstable to be part of the team. It's hinted that he and Soldier knew each other, likely having served together. The respawn machine doesn't always work correctly resulting in the mercenaries sometimes coming back wrong or incomplete, but it's actually even worse than that: Time works differently on the "other side" and after returning, even if they respawn right after dying, it's as if they spent an eternity being dead. I'm not completely sure but I think the implication is that this was more of a problem with early trial runs and they eventually figured out how to block those memories. Still, respawning seems to cause compounding mental trauma even to the ones who don't remember the other side. (And then there's Red Sniper, who seems able to recall all of it.) This trauma manifests as schizophrenia-like symptoms. To mitigate this, the mercenaries were given Emesis Diazepam (used to treat schizophrenia) disguised as Valium, justified as a treatment for stress-related anxiety. The Plague Doctor is most likely a Medic, but doesn't seem to be the same Medic as the main character of the story. He apparently works with the Pyro, Sniper and the Conagher brothers, but may have his own agenda considering he sets the whole plot up but doesn't involve himself in the events at the slaughterhouse. At any rate he seems to have wanted to get Medic involved for some reason - note that the Conaghers didn't anticipate Medic showing up meaning the Plague Doctor didn't bother to tell them he'd lured Medic there after dropping off Scout and the briefcase. Speaking of which, the Plague Doctor was most likely the one Heavy was originally supposed to deliver the briefcase to. The Dustbowl incident mentioned to one of the Conagher brothers over the phone was a direct reference to Spy's Disguise, a previous movie by the same creators. The time loops are... weird. They're clearly not just hallucinations, so perhaps respawning actually does weird things to reality itself, at least from the perspective of affected people. Alternatively, the loops may be caused by the object inside the briefcase, as they seem to occur to respawn subjects who get close to it. Though, the loops may also just be a David Lynch-style artistic device for causing unsettling scenes, and aren't meant to have an explanation.
@@FranciumBoron I don't think it's an automatic process: We see that the machine has an interface that needs to be operated by someone. Going by what Archibald said, I assume the Tenth Class was simply considered unfit for the team due to mental instability. So, after he killed himself they just let him stay dead.
THE MAGNUM OPUS OF THE TF2 COMMUNITY!!!!!! I've also said this to other people, that this is the *ARCANE* of tf2. Both projects take place in they're respected universes, but they're not in the main universe since both use the characters loosely, (for example) tf2 soldier in the main universe wasn't actually a real soldier, he bought his own ticket to Poland and went on a nazi killing spree (not knowing that ww2 already ended in 1946, his spree ended in 1949). But in the "emesis Blu universe" he ACTUALLY WAS a soldier that fought in the trenches of war. I hope this makes since
I've rewatched this film about 15 times and I just realized that the explosion which saved Medic from the Pyro is symbolic by showing the Cross on his chest but also that it was probably Sniper shooting the rocket that caused it. I always thought it was some sort of hallucination, your brain rationalizing something that has no apparent cause.
I've watched it more times than I can count, it's hands down one of the best movies I've seen in my life. Needs so much more attention and film writers (especially horror ones) need to take notes.
@@mechanicpluto2430 Yep completely agree. Its almost 2 hours of well done suspence and terror with not a single jumpscare ( apart from the skeleton lmao) and its all done in SFM like wtf that shit is close to 20 years old and it`s still able to produce shit like this.
1:41:36 Reference: The House That Jack Built Also... one of the movie tapes had the title "The King in Yellow" which is also a name of a book and the main idea was that whoever read said book would go insane and kill others just for its possession... and the brieface in this movie could be a subsitute for the book
Old ass comment, but that's not how TKiY works. While it does often cause the readers to become erratic, most of them were not violent, rather becoming haunted by specters.
it sadly wouldnt even be nominated for a Saxxy since Saxxy's have predetermined time constraints (even longest Saxxy was around 10 minutes and they were pushed for time to fix everything)
Little tidbit about this masterpiece: Medic shooting out Pyro’s eyes was a reference to Halloween II (1981) when Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) does the same thing to Michael Myers at the end of the film.
In TF2 comics canon, Medic claims to have "surgically attached 8 other souls" to himself as a way to get out of his deal with the Devil (he sold his original soul, but can't go to Hell until he loses the remaining 8). Since Emesis Blue clearly takes place in its own, loosely inspired canon, this could be completely irrelevant, but it does make me wonder how Medic manages to keep coming back to life throughout the movie. I don't think they ever address that in the movie, other than by implying he has an evil plague doctor alter-ego which I guess somehow won't let him die?
@@adrianflare7951i know this is correct but I wonder why don’t he come back at the end when the car crashed since the briefcase was right next to him AND open?
What makes it more disturbing is that the face of the butcher was a reflected face of an actual burnt corpse that was used in hl2 and gmod, it was found in a medical book and they used it in the game which is messed up
it's not a new thing that game devs do though they used to, a lot of the time, use actual medical textbooks to make dead/zombie characters in games now, of course, it's way less common due to the fact that it took a toll on a lot of the game modelers that had to look at those for hours
this is by far the best reaction to emesis blue i've seen, you caught so much! I love how you heard the air-raid sirens during scout's attack and connected it to soldier's ptsd, i think the more you watch it the more heroic and likable soldier becomes, i wish we got to see demo and soldier's relationship established a little more but either way the scene in the freezer with the two got an emotional response out of me. there's more you noticed that i'm forgetting but overall great job! :)
I have a theory that the plague doctor is medic who got sent to the past. The evidence is: -after he died in the last act, there is a scene in the very end where a person is emerging in the respawn machine. My theory it's medic. But you might wondering why I said medic was sent to the past. Do you remember the projector scene with soldier. The scene show Archibold explaining about 10 people being respawn compatibility. In the end of that scene, something was burning. I think the two scenes are connected. Also, in the scout kidnap scene, I think plague doctor (medic) is the one who killed scout mother and used her head to distract scout. Then there's the scene where sniper confronted soldier, medic used the same trick with pyro's head to lure sniper. Coincidence? I think not. In the coffin scene, medic freed scout. But when scout sees medic, he freaked out and gets angry on him. But why? The answer, scout saw what's under the plague doctor's mask, which is medic.
That actually really brings this theory together. The fire when Medic revives isn't the still burning 2-fort but rather whatever the fire in the video was
There’s some other stuff too, like how during the funeral scene medic is wearing a black turtleneck which is the same colors that the plague doctor wears. Or the fact that the plague doctor pointed a revolver at spy’s head at the beginning of the film and at the end medic shoots spy in the head with the same model of revolver. In one of the hallucinatory time loop sections we see the medic who has the same appearance as when he dies at the end kneeling over scouts moms corpse. And the time during Soldiers PTSD hallucination we see the plague doctor and medic playing chess with each other which could also tie back to the scene at scouts house with the chessboard. I think that’s also a reference to the seventh seal where in it a knight challenges death to a game of chess for his life. But in this case I think it’s representing a battle between the two personalities and just like how death wins in the movie I think the plague doctor personality won here too.
To me, That plague doctor medic is Kinda the Angel of Dead, that is ALWAYS around the Mercenaries, specially Medic, who (to me) was already Dead the Whole time, and this is some kind of Purgatory. And perhaps soldier is Part of it, or Everyone else is a bunch of Torment Souls in they're own personal Hell.
I wonder if the mercs were really death row convicts, or if that was a cover up to try and give them a false past to make them more loyal. If you mold their mind, they can be what you want them to be. Remember we see Fat bastard make spy execute Heavy, Sniper, and Scout on dubious charges. And that pic with soldier is oddly sus too. Why would Archibald execute soldier himself, and why would he do it with a gun, except if it was some sort of cover up? Also, if they were convicts, why does scout seem to still have a good relationship with his mom? Being a heinous criminal tends to burn bridges.
16:28 fyi, that extra merc in basically the mythological tenth class exact description is unknown but what is known is that his model comes from valve's day of defeat
Amazing reaction as always chief. To explain the last scene: Dell's appears to be figurative place between life and death where Mercs wait for respawn, as revealed by Demomans's bar sequence. You can see Conagher brothers in the back, as evident by one smoking and other playing piano. Dell Conagher is our engie who died in Dustbowl a little before Emesis Blue took place as shown in other piece by the same author. Fritz Lugwig died on a road, plagued by sleep depravation, ending up at the Dell's. Then, he entered a bathroom, showing off why the letter "M" was all over the movie as medic ends up in a room with a big M on the door...male bathroom. Diazepam is much more known name for Valium, hence his shock as he understood what he was taking. The pills are meant to stop the degrading effect of respawning, evidenced with Soldier not suffering as much from the effects as he never took them, only suffering from PTSD. Medic realizes where he is after meeting Archibald, who revealed he plans to use respawn machine if needed and hearing Jeremy's voice (that's a Jerma985 reference as his name is Jeremy Elbertson). He and Dell are the only ones who know how long of a night it'll be. And it's longer than you think.
The M in the movie is inspired by the movie of the same name where the murderer is found because someone made an M mark on chalk on their hand before marking the killer with it. In this movie it has double meaning it seems to be both a denouncing of medics true nature as a murdering psychopath and a mark for death foreshadowing his eventual death and arrival at Dell's.
@@zebaguettefromfrance1287 That is the main reference, yes, but in the story the letter M seems more like foreshadowing rather than mark of the guilty.
Your reaction is by far one of the best out of all reaction videos to this movie! You have some incredible film knowledge and not to mention how quickly you can already predict what happens later in the movie!
If you pay attention there are a couple of scenes that foreshadow to future events, in Soldier's hallucination in the trenches Spy gets torched by a flamethrower then later on he gets seriously burned in a fire he caused, scout being shot in the head hints at his brain atrophy from his respawn malfunction (and likely how he died in the first place before the respawn) and also the corrupted version of him being stabbed in the head by the crowbar around the same spot as the bullet
1:33:06 the 10th one was overheard committing self-die in the call Soldier overheard at the skeleton board. 1:41:32 also, that _was_ technically claimed to be the address the hearse was headed to during the first or second chapter. Purgatory Lane. 2:00:06 A twofer, probably; the ‘M’ at Scout’s crime scene might have been a hint that the drugs were involved (though it gets read as the M from the film instead), and Archibald did mention that he “might” use the machine as a way out of getting taken out (though it would have to have been through a different machine elsewhere). (Ope, or not. Hmm. Respawn might have been drawing their ‘wrong’ spawns from when they die worse)
the pyro´s face in the movie is from an actual real person.... the only edited part is a copy pasted eye, but it´s basically a real person´s face. was, cus he very much dead.
While playing Half Life 2 i always thought that face looked uncanny and when people found out that it was a real dead person after all this time, it all made sense.
54:00 You are another one of the reactors who managed to find out this is a time loop by recalling the conversation a while ago. The other reactors who also immediately knew it are Wrath2501 and his pals
you're the first reaction channel i watched who notices most of the references and some of the symbolism in the movie (yes, i'm calling it movie). you're amazing, man
Something about this animation players would notice is how they incorporated each classes' mechanics into the story: Medic's "Immortality" is due to his regeneration mechanic ingame. Everytime we see him 'die', it's usually by means that are relatively tame in a normal tf2 match, like a shotgun to the chest or even a revolver headshot. Medic had plenty of time to recover fully in between each near death experience. Pyro is immune to fire, but an Item called the Gas Passer allows fire to bypass that effect, it is also a gasoline tank, which is what we see is used to engulf both him and Spy.
To add onto this Soldier is capable of rocket jumping without any harm to him which seems normal till Spy points out that in the Emisis universe that isn't normal. Sniper can remember the time in the revive machine which fits well with the fact that he is the class that has to watch for everything and be observant
Also just the placements of where things happen. Like 2 engineers camping in the 2Fort spawn room is classic, it happens every time. Also the sniper camping the long corridor in the sewers, and the pyro hiding behind the stairs coming from the sewers to ambush people. They used very recognizable situations from the actual game to create some fantastic scenes.
@@LovingBallOfApricots Yeah well it is implied that emesis universe is still a bit similar to the canon since we see the Mann Brothers are hardly any different so we know things like Australium should exist, so the superhumans from australia could too, including Saxton Hale. It's pointed out that in the canon lore Abraham Lincoln invented Rocket Jumping, and it became the norm for elevation before stairs were invented, and he even died when he tried to mix the two together.
@ItsChevnotJeff Yeah but if rocket jumping was a common thing even of the past Spy would probably not dismiss Soldiers ability to do it without second thought
@@LovingBallOfApricots I think it's because only the Rocket Jumper does the move without harm, but Soldier does it with the stock rocket launcher without hurting himself, even if Heavy did absorb most of the blast, so it wouldn't be considered normal even by TF2 standards Edit: It's also possible that unlike in the game, nobody would think to teach Rocket Jumping like Jump Academy does because it would likely have a high mortality rate, and repeated visits to the respawn is the last thing the mercs would want, especially Soldiers
Goof: the VCR tapes in Medic's lab weren't invented until after 1970. granted, the TF2 universe has teleportation, regeneration, ubercharges and invisibility, so _some_ leap in technology could have affected the media recording field,... but everywhere else there's only film reels and large cabinet computers consistent with late-1960's technology, so VCR tapes seem out of place.
considering the fact that in the comics, the director uses a very old film camera could mean something. Your take on vcr tape being out of place does kind of have backup.
my favorite theory is that medic completely blames himself for the kidnapping of scout and the death of his mother, so he hallucinates of himself being the culprit. The kidnappers (pyro and presumably someone like sniper sorrounded his house and they had knowledge of scout and medics relationship, so they framed medic, its also the symbolism of multiple RED chess pieces sorrounding a smaller blue one) When medic was gonna respawn scout he hallucinated his mother behind him, judging him for what he did. And since scout had presumably brain damage from the failed respawn he thought that medic snuck in his house and killed his mother. The layers, theres so many and theyre so rich. theres also the knocking down the tapes, chances are it wasnt him or a time loop, but instead its his mind hallucinating as the villain as the Scouts room inside the respawn machine was one and was (presumably) full of scout's... stuff when he got in
Emesis Blue has got to be one of the scariest movies on TH-cam I’ve seen. It’s gives the feeling of a nearing danger and what I can only describe as, “a lurking shadow in the void”
I have a theory (that i one day fully share in the movie comments) that respawn machine glitched respawns have something to do with the way person died. For example Scout was tortured physically and mentally before he died. So when he respawned his twisted body was the result of his twisted mind.
Problem SlenderScout is a Red Scout so we don't actually know how he died. Now the mutilation of his body still could be a cause for him getting revived as just a shit ton of blood though.
The context for soldier blue is he is a war veteran. He is also actually friends with Red demo, man. Red soldier is the one that's not actually a veteran.
If you don't mind doing another long reaction, TheWhat Show made a great video about this movie. He explains pretty much everything about it (the references, the plague doctor, the war, the medicines, the time loop, the weird hellish dimension, the briefcase, etc).
In the end credits, it plays the "Silent night" I think its cuz the Mann brothers are dead there is no war just like the christmas eve during the war. Also when pyro burned medic there was the M letter on his cheek. And during the "promotion scene" you can see the black suit heavy in the back. I enjoyed the reaction, "Emises Blue" is a countinue of "Spy disguise" a previous creation of fortress films.
No they also use it in the Emisis whatsamahozit ad so I think it's more a reference to that. And as a person who really liked silent night it's creepy as fuck to hear it twisted to this
I loved finding out that the movies story is partly based on Stephen King's short story The Jaunt but instead about being aware of the teleporation process which even though physically happens in second mentally could drag on for years, Emesis Blue uses it to show it about respawning.
After seeing Emesis Blue popping up in my feed several times, I watched this film a month after its release, blind. At 19:14 (your video's timestamp) everyone was hooked...
My own personal theory: Just because nobody will use a respawn machines after their destruction, won't stop the mercs from Respawning, even in the past, when the machines worked. Hence the time travel. However they can't seem to travel back before they respawned the first time, as it could create a paradox. Jules Archibald is stuck in a closed loop of being in a cell and Spy killing him for all of his eternity. Scout will eventually turn into the pool of blood medic will see, after having the humanity removed from him. Medic will continue to fight his demons, and eventually come to fight himself as an avatar of those same demons, the plague doctor.
I think you're on to something, what if the plague doctor is the medic in last chapter (the one with black sweater and emotionless expression). After he died while driving his ambulance, he got respawned in the burning raspawn machine (the laat scene of the movie) Also, remember the time solder played a projector where Archibold explains the respawn compatibility. in the end something was burning. What if that was medic respawning in the past and then becoming the plague doctor.
Medic, Engineer and Sniper have their final words before execution scratched on the walls to the individual cells if you look hard enough while Soldier and Demoman are rescuing Archibald. Medic: Gott Helfe Mir. Engineer: It's eternity in there. Sniper: It's longer than you think. This implies that they were probably the last on the list for the respawn test due to their jobs being high priority unlike Soldier's which was easy to replace.
9:53 I find it funny that you refrence the scp foundation here when the movie "the king in yellow" is the origin of one of the older locations and scps "the hanged king" an scp based around the king in yellow
The trenches scene explained a lot, it showed that the plague doctor and the medic were playing a game making the events happen, the water on the floor is a mix of the scout being turned into blood and the sewers, it going back to ww2 is like how its a time loop, the spy being burnt by the pyro and the scout going into seizure like how the paper said he does when he takes the drugs, which is also how scout became that long armed walking thing
55:21 The sirens of German Stuka dive bombers when they are diving during ww2. War trauma in the form of audio for soldier since soldier did serve in ww2 in Emesis blue.
I'll just have to say it Emesis Blue is by far my favorite horror movie I've ever seen And the fact that it was made by a couple of guys using an outdated animation software and looks this stunning is amazing
I have a theory: Dr. Ludwig, having revived, what? Three times? (First time, brain trauma. Second time, shot. Third time, Russian Roulette match) might have only truly died the last time (car accident) due to his amount of souls. This is only valid if Emesis Blue is loosely based on the comic in just the right way. 9 souls - 2 sold - 3 used = 4 left. This would mean that hell *would* then own a majority stake in his soul, (see "The Naked and the Dead") deeming Dr. Ludwig dead. However, this is unlikely because Mann Vs. Machine (time of the comic, I'm pretty sure) is set in 1972, I think, and Emesis Blue takes place in 1968. Fun to think about, though.
This animatin is in the same world as an older movie made by the same creator. It is referenced in this movie. The duatbowl thing and the possibly dead younger brother are the main parts in that movie
I may be late but emesis blue especially with the line “Its eternity in there” seems to be inspired by the book called “The Jaunt” where in the future people are able to teleport and 2 parents and their child are going into a teleporter but have to first be asleep with anesthesia of sorts. The two parents go to sleep however the child faked being asleep and after the parents got through the teleporter the child also came through it but distorted looking with his eyes bulging out while he repeated “Ive seen the other side ive seen the other side!” As he began to claw his own eyes out.
This is an amazing video, No, Really It doesnt stop every moment, and whenever it stops its a short thorough explanation and references, i have watched the movie, and so far 2 reactions, this one being the best obviously.
One theory that I’m a fan of is that the respawn machine uses time manipulation to to its job. It leaking could explain the time anomalies. One thing I noticed is that mercs that respawned using the broken machine tended to still have the injuries from before their respawn, see the sniper.
when i first watched this, it ment alot to me. after rewatching it, it felt like it was a really old memory i had along time ago, i feel like i was really there and experienced the entire thing in real life, but i know i didnt.
I think the reason hes a war veteren is bc the blu and red teams although they look the same they actually are completely different people so maybe the red soldier was a dumbass who went to war on his own years after it ended and the blue soldier was a real soldier who fought in the war
ironically despite having ptsd I was fully focused on this movie, its references, cinematography, sound, just about everything was so captivating. I could not resist watching every bit of it.
The blue and red teams have different companies behind them and basically blue company helped America in ww2 by making the respawn machine so those soldier figures are other soldiers who were put in the respawn machine for testing. So did the red company but I don’t really know much about them.
When Scout was respawned by Medic, his body fell apart as the door opened. That's why he became a pool of blood and you can hear screaming. Which is disturbing because all of his nerves and stuff were remade so he was alive while falling apart..and makes sense why Medic looked so traumatized when Scout's baseball rolled to him.
Not just a pool of blood; a pool of EVERYTHING. Skin, muscle, organs, bone, blood, everything that went into a human body, completely liquified. He was only alive long enough to process a single thought: PAIN.
it's also a reference to the shining (edit: found out he noticed the reference too soooo yeah, made this comment before hand)
Time stamp?
Medic done soupified scout
"Soup can"
Obviously Emesis Blue is loosely based on canon TF2 lore, but I’ve heard some people have theorized that RED soldier (in Emesis Blue, for the people who think I was referring you to the OG TF2 lore) was the unfit army guy that went to Europe on an unhinged rampage while BLU soldier is an actual war veteran. I don’t know if it’s true, but it’s fun to think about.
I've always liked the idea that the mercs of RED and BLU are actually different people that like and act similar, rather than them being simply being clones. Though the lore itself don't really have much evidence to fully support the theory.
@@MelralCT- There's not much evidence either way. My headcanon is that all of the RED mercs are the only "canon" Team Fortress, with Engi being the only one playing both sides.
it's not true
we know red soldier being the unfit violent guy, but we know next to nothing about blu soldier
that dichotomy about red is violent while blu is professional was just a joke
@@Hyde-dg7ef never once have I stated it being true, simply said it was fun to think about
@@m4_sherman ah well ok.
otherwise, it really is just a joke, just like how blu medic as seen in emesis blu is certified professional while canon red medic is a megalomaniac who lost his license after he somehow got away with stealing a patient's entire skeleton
“Something ain’t right here…”
That basically sums up the entirety of Emesis Blue in a nutshell.
1:07:45
They used the Gmod corpse texture, which itself was a detailed texture produced from of a photo of an actual burn victim.

Your knowledge of German movies does give this reaction a special flavour than all others.

And is a bit Spooky.
Definitely!
absolutely
I was shocked as well. maybe the creators atttended the same classes as him.
The different mercenaries suffered different malfunctions upon respawn. Both blue and red mercenaries. Red is easier to explain though. Red Demo suffered limb loss, Red Pyro became horribly burnt to the point of being unable to speak, Red Heavy became an absolute juggernaut akin to Mr X, Red Scout mutated into an animalistic form and finally Red sniper didn’t suffer anything physically, instead he was fully aware during the entire respawn process. You see for everyone on the outside, respawning happens in seconds. But on the inside it goes on and on forever. This is why Sniper seems so absolutely done with everything, he was aware the whole time and as he puts it “it’s an eternity in there” “longer than you think”.
The one got respawn was BLU Scout, not RED, you can see Dr Ludwig trying to respawn him but failed in the respawn room
@@nosu5530 I thought red scout was the lanky mf and blue scout was one of our protagonists
@@WillowTheGremlin the big heavy was the blu heavy that had defected because the red medic said that the subject he was working on was shot in the heart, also with all the torture going on in the slaughter house I think that the demo simply had his arm cut off, but the lanky scout seems to have a blue shirt on so I think it *might* be the result of the manual respawn
@@Altragon You can see (Demo's previous?) limbless torso in the Pyro room, so it's all but confirmed Pyro cut off his arm
And the engineer had a problem with the glasses which made his eyes disapear and let the mark on his head
The lines “longer than you think” and “it’s eternity in there” are from the short story called ‘The Jaunt’ by Stephen King. The plot is that humanity in the future developed instant teleportation (called jaunting) to travel from place to place and planet to planet, however the catch is that people need to be put to sleep with anesthesia before jaunting. If they aren’t unconscious, their minds become trapped for what seems like an eternity in some blank space when in reality, only a few seconds have passed for everyone else. This would result in the unfortunate person dying on the spot or emerging insane while being dramatically aged up.
The same thing basically happens to the mercenaries whenever they respawn, being stuck between life and death for an unimaginable amount of time. They remember little to nothing about their time in eternity besides the Sniper, who remembers everything judging from his lines and being physically deformed in his final appearance.
It's why they're prescribed "valium" aka emesis diazepam to cope with the mental symptoms and degenerations of respawning and to make them forget properly. Unfortunately by the time of the movie the respawn machine was suffering from more frequent and more violent respawn failures.
Some clarifications on what is going on in this movie:
The "other soldier" seen in the opening scenes is the tenth respawn compatible mercenary. Apparently he went insane and killed himself, and was deemed too unstable to be part of the team. It's hinted that he and Soldier knew each other, likely having served together.
The respawn machine doesn't always work correctly resulting in the mercenaries sometimes coming back wrong or incomplete, but it's actually even worse than that: Time works differently on the "other side" and after returning, even if they respawn right after dying, it's as if they spent an eternity being dead. I'm not completely sure but I think the implication is that this was more of a problem with early trial runs and they eventually figured out how to block those memories. Still, respawning seems to cause compounding mental trauma even to the ones who don't remember the other side. (And then there's Red Sniper, who seems able to recall all of it.) This trauma manifests as schizophrenia-like symptoms. To mitigate this, the mercenaries were given Emesis Diazepam (used to treat schizophrenia) disguised as Valium, justified as a treatment for stress-related anxiety.
The Plague Doctor is most likely a Medic, but doesn't seem to be the same Medic as the main character of the story. He apparently works with the Pyro, Sniper and the Conagher brothers, but may have his own agenda considering he sets the whole plot up but doesn't involve himself in the events at the slaughterhouse. At any rate he seems to have wanted to get Medic involved for some reason - note that the Conaghers didn't anticipate Medic showing up meaning the Plague Doctor didn't bother to tell them he'd lured Medic there after dropping off Scout and the briefcase. Speaking of which, the Plague Doctor was most likely the one Heavy was originally supposed to deliver the briefcase to.
The Dustbowl incident mentioned to one of the Conagher brothers over the phone was a direct reference to Spy's Disguise, a previous movie by the same creators.
The time loops are... weird. They're clearly not just hallucinations, so perhaps respawning actually does weird things to reality itself, at least from the perspective of affected people. Alternatively, the loops may be caused by the object inside the briefcase, as they seem to occur to respawn subjects who get close to it. Though, the loops may also just be a David Lynch-style artistic device for causing unsettling scenes, and aren't meant to have an explanation.
I do wonder if we’ll see that plague doctor medic again in any of their future SFM’s
The plague doc is the 10th merc that blow his head off and the case is “the souls of the mercs” but who knows
I wonder how that other soldier managed to kill himself without respawning again.
@@FranciumBoron I don't think it's an automatic process: We see that the machine has an interface that needs to be operated by someone. Going by what Archibald said, I assume the Tenth Class was simply considered unfit for the team due to mental instability. So, after he killed himself they just let him stay dead.
@@RelativelyBest Hmm. Could be.
THE MAGNUM OPUS OF THE TF2 COMMUNITY!!!!!!
I've also said this to other people, that this is the *ARCANE* of tf2.
Both projects take place in they're respected universes, but they're not in the main universe since both use the characters loosely, (for example) tf2 soldier in the main universe wasn't actually a real soldier, he bought his own ticket to Poland and went on a nazi killing spree (not knowing that ww2 already ended in 1946, his spree ended in 1949). But in the "emesis Blu universe" he ACTUALLY WAS a soldier that fought in the trenches of war.
I hope this makes since
I've rewatched this film about 15 times and I just realized that the explosion which saved Medic from the Pyro is symbolic by showing the Cross on his chest but also that it was probably Sniper shooting the rocket that caused it. I always thought it was some sort of hallucination, your brain rationalizing something that has no apparent cause.
That it was the sniper shooting the rocket damn never thought about that good catch
Watched it 2 times and watched 3 others react to it but ima still watch cause it's such a masterpiece of a passion project
I've watched it more times than I can count, it's hands down one of the best movies I've seen in my life. Needs so much more attention and film writers (especially horror ones) need to take notes.
@@mechanicpluto2430 Yep completely agree. Its almost 2 hours of well done suspence and terror with not a single jumpscare ( apart from the skeleton lmao) and its all done in SFM like wtf that shit is close to 20 years old and it`s still able to produce shit like this.
It really get the taste of horror movies without any jumpscare
I like jumpscare but i like horror movie without the jumpscare and still make me scared
1:41:36 Reference: The House That Jack Built
Also... one of the movie tapes had the title "The King in Yellow" which is also a name of a book and the main idea was that whoever read said book would go insane and kill others just for its possession... and the brieface in this movie could be a subsitute for the book
Old ass comment, but that's not how TKiY works. While it does often cause the readers to become erratic, most of them were not violent, rather becoming haunted by specters.
@@DoctorWhoBlue I just glossed over it, but yeah you're right too
It's an absolute tragedy that they stopped doing the Saxxy awards in 2017...
it sadly wouldnt even be nominated for a Saxxy since Saxxy's have predetermined time constraints (even longest Saxxy was around 10 minutes and they were pushed for time to fix everything)
You could probably nominate this for a amateur film award
Nah, the Saxxy isn't enough. This movie is close to a standard triple-A one.
@@toddoverholt4556Amateur?? Dude this thing deserved a Best Horror Film Nomination.
Little tidbit about this masterpiece:
Medic shooting out Pyro’s eyes was a reference to Halloween II (1981) when Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) does the same thing to Michael Myers at the end of the film.
In TF2 comics canon, Medic claims to have "surgically attached 8 other souls" to himself as a way to get out of his deal with the Devil (he sold his original soul, but can't go to Hell until he loses the remaining 8). Since Emesis Blue clearly takes place in its own, loosely inspired canon, this could be completely irrelevant, but it does make me wonder how Medic manages to keep coming back to life throughout the movie. I don't think they ever address that in the movie, other than by implying he has an evil plague doctor alter-ego which I guess somehow won't let him die?
The reason the medic comes back very quickly is because the core for the Respawn Machine is in the briefcase.
@@adrianflare7951i know this is correct but I wonder why don’t he come back at the end when the car crashed since the briefcase was right next to him AND open?
@sandraswan9008 thanks for letting me know
What makes it more disturbing is that the face of the butcher was a reflected face of an actual burnt corpse that was used in hl2 and gmod, it was found in a medical book and they used it in the game which is messed up
Yeah it's really disturbing
it's not a new thing that game devs do though
they used to, a lot of the time, use actual medical textbooks to make dead/zombie characters in games
now, of course, it's way less common due to the fact that it took a toll on a lot of the game modelers that had to look at those for hours
@@frid7434Doesn’t look very disturbing to me. Could have been worse.
@@frid7434 There is an especulation about some body from a cartel execution used in a old doom game
this is by far the best reaction to emesis blue i've seen, you caught so much! I love how you heard the air-raid sirens during scout's attack and connected it to soldier's ptsd, i think the more you watch it the more heroic and likable soldier becomes, i wish we got to see demo and soldier's relationship established a little more but either way the scene in the freezer with the two got an emotional response out of me.
there's more you noticed that i'm forgetting but overall great job! :)
One of the VHS movies was i think "The cabinet of Dr.Caligari" and It's about a doctor turning a man into a killer while he sleepwalks
I have a theory that the plague doctor is medic who got sent to the past.
The evidence is:
-after he died in the last act, there is a scene in the very end where a person is emerging in the respawn machine. My theory it's medic.
But you might wondering why I said medic was sent to the past. Do you remember the projector scene with soldier. The scene show Archibold explaining about 10 people being respawn compatibility. In the end of that scene, something was burning.
I think the two scenes are connected.
Also, in the scout kidnap scene, I think plague doctor (medic) is the one who killed scout mother and used her head to distract scout. Then there's the scene where sniper confronted soldier, medic used the same trick with pyro's head to lure sniper. Coincidence? I think not.
In the coffin scene, medic freed scout. But when scout sees medic, he freaked out and gets angry on him. But why? The answer, scout saw what's under the plague doctor's mask, which is medic.
That actually really brings this theory together. The fire when Medic revives isn't the still burning 2-fort but rather whatever the fire in the video was
There’s some other stuff too, like how during the funeral scene medic is wearing a black turtleneck which is the same colors that the plague doctor wears. Or the fact that the plague doctor pointed a revolver at spy’s head at the beginning of the film and at the end medic shoots spy in the head with the same model of revolver.
In one of the hallucinatory time loop sections we see the medic who has the same appearance as when he dies at the end kneeling over scouts moms corpse.
And the time during Soldiers PTSD hallucination we see the plague doctor and medic playing chess with each other which could also tie back to the scene at scouts house with the chessboard.
I think that’s also a reference to the seventh seal where in it a knight challenges death to a game of chess for his life. But in this case I think it’s representing a battle between the two personalities and just like how death wins in the movie I think the plague doctor personality won here too.
the projector scene fire is caused by archibald throwing the cigarette in the beginning of the projection,atleast thats what i think
Emesis Blue is a Pootis Engage of the horror genre
Is more like Hoovydundy, but Even Better 😅😅
Its if The Winglet went dark.
@@Prophetofthe8thLegionhe just went Mostly Seriously, not dark.
Uncannily accurate, what with all the media references
To me, That plague doctor medic is Kinda the Angel of Dead, that is ALWAYS around the Mercenaries, specially Medic, who (to me) was already Dead the Whole time, and this is some kind of Purgatory.
And perhaps soldier is Part of it, or Everyone else is a bunch of Torment Souls in they're own personal Hell.
I think Plague Doctor is the future Medic, you can see him getting respawn at the end
@@nosu5530¿he does? But i thought the Respawn Machine was burning down.
@@aquilesgarciaperez5918 it's in the credit sence, you can see someone is coming out from the burning respawn room
@@nosu5530 ¿it's really him?
@@aquilesgarciaperez5918 not sure, but who else can it be
I wonder if the mercs were really death row convicts, or if that was a cover up to try and give them a false past to make them more loyal. If you mold their mind, they can be what you want them to be. Remember we see Fat bastard make spy execute Heavy, Sniper, and Scout on dubious charges. And that pic with soldier is oddly sus too. Why would Archibald execute soldier himself, and why would he do it with a gun, except if it was some sort of cover up? Also, if they were convicts, why does scout seem to still have a good relationship with his mom? Being a heinous criminal tends to burn bridges.
16:28
fyi, that extra merc in basically the mythological tenth class
exact description is unknown but what is known is that his model comes from valve's day of defeat
Amazing reaction as always chief.
To explain the last scene:
Dell's appears to be figurative place between life and death where Mercs wait for respawn, as revealed by Demomans's bar sequence. You can see Conagher brothers in the back, as evident by one smoking and other playing piano. Dell Conagher is our engie who died in Dustbowl a little before Emesis Blue took place as shown in other piece by the same author.
Fritz Lugwig died on a road, plagued by sleep depravation, ending up at the Dell's. Then, he entered a bathroom, showing off why the letter "M" was all over the movie as medic ends up in a room with a big M on the door...male bathroom. Diazepam is much more known name for Valium, hence his shock as he understood what he was taking. The pills are meant to stop the degrading effect of respawning, evidenced with Soldier not suffering as much from the effects as he never took them, only suffering from PTSD. Medic realizes where he is after meeting Archibald, who revealed he plans to use respawn machine if needed and hearing Jeremy's voice (that's a Jerma985 reference as his name is Jeremy Elbertson). He and Dell are the only ones who know how long of a night it'll be. And it's longer than you think.
The M in the movie is inspired by the movie of the same name where the murderer is found because someone made an M mark on chalk on their hand before marking the killer with it. In this movie it has double meaning it seems to be both a denouncing of medics true nature as a murdering psychopath and a mark for death foreshadowing his eventual death and arrival at Dell's.
@@zebaguettefromfrance1287 That is the main reference, yes, but in the story the letter M seems more like foreshadowing rather than mark of the guilty.
Sus guy moment. +2
The model in question at around 16:33 is one of the playable Americans from the Source game Day of Defeat.
Your reaction is by far one of the best out of all reaction videos to this movie! You have some incredible film knowledge and not to mention how quickly you can already predict what happens later in the movie!
If you pay attention there are a couple of scenes that foreshadow to future events, in Soldier's hallucination in the trenches Spy gets torched by a flamethrower then later on he gets seriously burned in a fire he caused, scout being shot in the head hints at his brain atrophy from his respawn malfunction (and likely how he died in the first place before the respawn) and also the corrupted version of him being stabbed in the head by the crowbar around the same spot as the bullet
The wheelchair that rolls in the hallway, the very same that Soldier would end up on at the very end.
1:33:06 the 10th one was overheard committing self-die in the call Soldier overheard at the skeleton board.
1:41:32 also, that _was_ technically claimed to be the address the hearse was headed to during the first or second chapter. Purgatory Lane.
2:00:06 A twofer, probably; the ‘M’ at Scout’s crime scene might have been a hint that the drugs were involved (though it gets read as the M from the film instead), and Archibald did mention that he “might” use the machine as a way out of getting taken out (though it would have to have been through a different machine elsewhere). (Ope, or not. Hmm. Respawn might have been drawing their ‘wrong’ spawns from when they die worse)
Your weirdly good knowledge of German movies is a really nice breath of fresh air, along with your very good investigative skills. Great Reaction!
the pyro´s face in the movie is from an actual real person.... the only edited part is a copy pasted eye, but it´s basically a real person´s face.
was, cus he very much dead.
the real shame is you know someone had to fucking LOOK at dead bodies all week while making that texture. poor bastards.
While playing Half Life 2 i always thought that face looked uncanny and when people found out that it was a real dead person after all this time, it all made sense.
54:00 You are another one of the reactors who managed to find out this is a time loop by recalling the conversation a while ago.
The other reactors who also immediately knew it are Wrath2501 and his pals
you're the first reaction channel i watched who notices most of the references and some of the symbolism in the movie (yes, i'm calling it movie). you're amazing, man
19:03 bro and scout talking in sync lmao
Loved seeing your reaction to this, gives me goosebumps seeing some of the scenes from this again.
Something about this animation players would notice is how they incorporated each classes' mechanics into the story:
Medic's "Immortality" is due to his regeneration mechanic ingame. Everytime we see him 'die', it's usually by means that are relatively tame in a normal tf2 match, like a shotgun to the chest or even a revolver headshot. Medic had plenty of time to recover fully in between each near death experience.
Pyro is immune to fire, but an Item called the Gas Passer allows fire to bypass that effect, it is also a gasoline tank, which is what we see is used to engulf both him and Spy.
To add onto this Soldier is capable of rocket jumping without any harm to him which seems normal till Spy points out that in the Emisis universe that isn't normal.
Sniper can remember the time in the revive machine which fits well with the fact that he is the class that has to watch for everything and be observant
Also just the placements of where things happen. Like 2 engineers camping in the 2Fort spawn room is classic, it happens every time. Also the sniper camping the long corridor in the sewers, and the pyro hiding behind the stairs coming from the sewers to ambush people. They used very recognizable situations from the actual game to create some fantastic scenes.
@@LovingBallOfApricots Yeah well it is implied that emesis universe is still a bit similar to the canon since we see the Mann Brothers are hardly any different so we know things like Australium should exist, so the superhumans from australia could too, including Saxton Hale. It's pointed out that in the canon lore Abraham Lincoln invented Rocket Jumping, and it became the norm for elevation before stairs were invented, and he even died when he tried to mix the two together.
@ItsChevnotJeff Yeah but if rocket jumping was a common thing even of the past Spy would probably not dismiss Soldiers ability to do it without second thought
@@LovingBallOfApricots I think it's because only the Rocket Jumper does the move without harm, but Soldier does it with the stock rocket launcher without hurting himself, even if Heavy did absorb most of the blast, so it wouldn't be considered normal even by TF2 standards
Edit: It's also possible that unlike in the game, nobody would think to teach Rocket Jumping like Jump Academy does because it would likely have a high mortality rate, and repeated visits to the respawn is the last thing the mercs would want, especially Soldiers
Goof: the VCR tapes in Medic's lab weren't invented until after 1970.
granted, the TF2 universe has teleportation, regeneration, ubercharges and invisibility, so _some_ leap in technology could have affected the media recording field,... but everywhere else there's only film reels and large cabinet computers consistent with late-1960's technology, so VCR tapes seem out of place.
considering the fact that in the comics, the director uses a very old film camera could mean something. Your take on vcr tape being out of place does kind of have backup.
my favorite theory is that medic completely blames himself for the kidnapping of scout and the death of his mother, so he hallucinates of himself being the culprit. The kidnappers (pyro and presumably someone like sniper sorrounded his house and they had knowledge of scout and medics relationship, so they framed medic, its also the symbolism of multiple RED chess pieces sorrounding a smaller blue one) When medic was gonna respawn scout he hallucinated his mother behind him, judging him for what he did. And since scout had presumably brain damage from the failed respawn he thought that medic snuck in his house and killed his mother. The layers, theres so many and theyre so rich.
theres also the knocking down the tapes, chances are it wasnt him or a time loop, but instead its his mind hallucinating as the villain as the Scouts room inside the respawn machine was one and was (presumably) full of scout's... stuff when he got in
Emesis Blue has got to be one of the scariest movies on TH-cam I’ve seen. It’s gives the feeling of a nearing danger and what I can only describe as, “a lurking shadow in the void”
9:26 It says "Das Cabinet des..." (the cabinet of...) so it has to be the 1920 horror film "Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari" (Dr. Caligari's cabinet)
you're that one type of friend when he watches a movie he finds out everything about the movie.
I have a theory (that i one day fully share in the movie comments) that respawn machine glitched respawns have something to do with the way person died.
For example Scout was tortured physically and mentally before he died. So when he respawned his twisted body was the result of his twisted mind.
Problem SlenderScout is a Red Scout so we don't actually know how he died. Now the mutilation of his body still could be a cause for him getting revived as just a shit ton of blood though.
The context for soldier blue is he is a war veteran. He is also actually friends with Red demo, man. Red soldier is the one that's not actually a veteran.
Loved every second of your reaction, I can't believe how many of the refrences you caught!
If you don't mind doing another long reaction, TheWhat Show made a great video about this movie. He explains pretty much everything about it (the references, the plague doctor, the war, the medicines, the time loop, the weird hellish dimension, the briefcase, etc).
I dunno why everyone is saying, but this Barbie movie is 🔥
Sure it's a bit dark-ish, but it's 10/10! Would recommend!
If it wasn’t THAT DARK, the Atmosphere would not be scary enough.
In the end credits, it plays the "Silent night" I think its cuz the Mann brothers are dead there is no war just like the christmas eve during the war.
Also when pyro burned medic there was the M letter on his cheek.
And during the "promotion scene" you can see the black suit heavy in the back.
I enjoyed the reaction, "Emises Blue" is a countinue of "Spy disguise" a previous creation of fortress films.
No they also use it in the Emisis whatsamahozit ad so I think it's more a reference to that. And as a person who really liked silent night it's creepy as fuck to hear it twisted to this
The phrases “it’s an eternity in there” and “it’s longer than you think” are both references to the Steven King story The Jaunt.
I loved finding out that the movies story is partly based on Stephen King's short story The Jaunt but instead about being aware of the teleporation process which even though physically happens in second mentally could drag on for years, Emesis Blue uses it to show it about respawning.
After seeing Emesis Blue popping up in my feed several times, I watched this film a month after its release, blind. At 19:14 (your video's timestamp) everyone was hooked...
How did you watched it if you're blind?
FUN FACT: The face at 1:07:46 is the actual face of a burn victim!
bro said that like 😁
the only movie I saw that gives me true fear with no need for jump scares
Scout said “hit ‘em back twice as hard you hear me” medic is shot once by spy and he shoot spy twice
fun fact! the pyro face is from half-life and they used an actual face for it in the game. another level of horror, who said good idea?
My own personal theory: Just because nobody will use a respawn machines after their destruction, won't stop the mercs from Respawning, even in the past, when the machines worked. Hence the time travel. However they can't seem to travel back before they respawned the first time, as it could create a paradox.
Jules Archibald is stuck in a closed loop of being in a cell and Spy killing him for all of his eternity.
Scout will eventually turn into the pool of blood medic will see, after having the humanity removed from him.
Medic will continue to fight his demons, and eventually come to fight himself as an avatar of those same demons, the plague doctor.
I think you're on to something, what if the plague doctor is the medic in last chapter (the one with black sweater and emotionless expression).
After he died while driving his ambulance, he got respawned in the burning raspawn machine (the laat scene of the movie)
Also, remember the time solder played a projector where Archibold explains the respawn compatibility. in the end something was burning. What if that was medic respawning in the past and then becoming the plague doctor.
Medic, Engineer and Sniper have their final words before execution scratched on the walls to the individual cells if you look hard enough while Soldier and Demoman are rescuing Archibald.
Medic: Gott Helfe Mir.
Engineer: It's eternity in there.
Sniper: It's longer than you think.
This implies that they were probably the last on the list for the respawn test due to their jobs being high priority unlike Soldier's which was easy to replace.
29:52
It took me too long to realize that was a joke too...
16:33 He’s the Commander. He was supposed to be Class 10, and he got cut before release. That’s all that’s known about him.
11:32 He's already figured out the plot. This dude is so underrated.
I feel stupid because of him 😂
9:53 I find it funny that you refrence the scp foundation here when the movie "the king in yellow" is the origin of one of the older locations and scps "the hanged king" an scp based around the king in yellow
The constant call back to 'its eternity in there' and 'longer than you think' is the reference to the short story from Stephen King 'the jaunt'
8:33 - Its not a bottle its a bomb.
8:45 RIGHT ON THE MARK
the model from the start that was a soldier of some sort that was different than the mercs is from day of defeat which is another source game
The trenches scene explained a lot, it showed that the plague doctor and the medic were playing a game making the events happen, the water on the floor is a mix of the scout being turned into blood and the sewers, it going back to ww2 is like how its a time loop, the spy being burnt by the pyro and the scout going into seizure like how the paper said he does when he takes the drugs, which is also how scout became that long armed walking thing
The killer in the movie M, that scout took in the beginning, had the same first name as the medic
55:21 The sirens of German Stuka dive bombers when they are diving during ww2. War trauma in the form of audio for soldier since soldier did serve in ww2 in Emesis blue.
I'll just have to say it
Emesis Blue is by far my favorite horror movie I've ever seen
And the fact that it was made by a couple of guys using an outdated animation software and looks this stunning is amazing
I've been waiting for this. Great video as always my man
Bro looks like a overqualified cop
i just realized the plague doctor's gun he holds to spy's head is spy's own gun
The world war 2 soldier model are from another VALVe game called DAY OF DEFEAT : Source
Second time watching this film, but the insights and reaction clarified some of my questions as to what was actually going on lol
I was wondering if you'd react to this! I can't even count how many times I've rewatched this movie, cna't wait to see your reaction!
10 compatible,
9 conscripted,
1 objector,
The 10th class lingers on.
Metropolis drives you into existential turmoil. That's enough of an SCP classification right there.
I have a theory:
Dr. Ludwig, having revived, what? Three times? (First time, brain trauma. Second time, shot. Third time, Russian Roulette match) might have only truly died the last time (car accident) due to his amount of souls. This is only valid if Emesis Blue is loosely based on the comic in just the right way. 9 souls - 2 sold - 3 used = 4 left. This would mean that hell *would* then own a majority stake in his soul, (see "The Naked and the Dead") deeming Dr. Ludwig dead. However, this is unlikely because Mann Vs. Machine (time of the comic, I'm pretty sure) is set in 1972, I think, and Emesis Blue takes place in 1968. Fun to think about, though.
truly a movie I will rewatch this Halloween
I love how they used the corpse from HL2 for the Pyro.
Edit: Also the eyeless soldier that looks WW1/WW2ish is from another Valve game.
The 10 class was a Comandor but was scrap, his spirt hunted slaughterhouse. I think a reference this class forget by Vale and TF2 comunity
No, it's from Day of Defeat, another source game
This animatin is in the same world as an older movie made by the same creator. It is referenced in this movie. The duatbowl thing and the possibly dead younger brother are the main parts in that movie
I may be late but emesis blue especially with the line “Its eternity in there” seems to be inspired by the book called “The Jaunt” where in the future people are able to teleport and 2 parents and their child are going into a teleporter but have to first be asleep with anesthesia of sorts. The two parents go to sleep however the child faked being asleep and after the parents got through the teleporter the child also came through it but distorted looking with his eyes bulging out while he repeated “Ive seen the other side ive seen the other side!” As he began to claw his own eyes out.
The child actually does directly say "It's eternity in there" and "Longer than you think" in the short story
This is an amazing video, No, Really
It doesnt stop every moment, and whenever it stops its a short thorough explanation and references, i have watched the movie, and so far 2 reactions, this one being the best obviously.
@36:56 BRUH. NOT THE CAR!
One theory that I’m a fan of is that the respawn machine uses time manipulation to to its job. It leaking could explain the time anomalies. One thing I noticed is that mercs that respawned using the broken machine tended to still have the injuries from before their respawn, see the sniper.
when i first watched this, it ment alot to me. after rewatching it, it felt like it was a really old memory i had along time ago, i feel like i was really there and experienced
the entire thing in real life, but i know i didnt.
I think the reason hes a war veteren is bc the blu and red teams although they look the same they actually are completely different people so maybe the red soldier was a dumbass who went to war on his own years after it ended and the blue soldier was a real soldier who fought in the war
Finally an reaction guy that does not pause every 5 nanoseconds
You could watc TheWhatShow's breakdown of Emesis Blue, it is very detailed and good to watch.
Dude, you’re one of the only reaction/ gaming channels I watch now. Thanks for the ✨magnificent✨commentary.
The thing I like about the chill zone is because this many really knows his stuff.
Soldier was in the war he was just wasn't officially in the army
Sick!
Love to see this here excited for ths reaciton.
This man watched the medic make a wall mural with his own brain matter and went. 😐
Glad you reacted to this
Just realized that scout have a scar on the left side of his head as if he had brain surgery
42:22 - 42:44 reference to the ending of Falling Down
This is too much for my ADHD. Gotta work this one over in bits this week. XD
For people with ADHD this has gotta be their best dream or worst nightmare. Probably both.
@@mechanicpluto2430 Thank god for 1.5x speed.
ironically despite having ptsd I was fully focused on this movie, its references, cinematography, sound, just about everything was so captivating. I could not resist watching every bit of it.
The blue and red teams have different companies behind them and basically blue company helped America in ww2 by making the respawn machine so those soldier figures are other soldiers who were put in the respawn machine for testing. So did the red company but I don’t really know much about them.
Gonna break out the popcorn for this one.
Just wana say a detail the soldier zombie? Idk is from i think the meet pyro episode 58:04
