Do you think TF2 Scout is a good enough character to carry a show without the other mercenaries?
Long before the voice actors croaked and retired, they evaluated whether it would be worth making an SFM based series with the Expiration Date pilot and concluded back when the industry had more animation money that it simply wasn't economical. Even the comic concluded, while everyone who worked on this is out of the industry. Dead Ack bombed so Valve most definitely won't be making anymore games. Give it up, it's over.
If it is like Comic Scout then no
So would the scout still be doing merc work? Would the other mercs be cameos or would he be on another team? Or just a SoL thing? Either way I'm gonna say no. TF2 works as an ensemble cast, no one character is strong enough to stand on their own imo. They shine when they bounce off one another and their collective madness is contrasted with the world around them. Sorta like Always Sunny.
Dead Ack bombed
it's not even out yet though, it's still in closed beta
without the other mercenaries
No. I love scout, my main class by over 1000 hours and TF2 isn't beloved because of only one merc
Comic Scout is the only version to use. Video Game Scout is just call-outs and random quotes and SFM Scout is in like, two things. Comic Scout actually has shit going on beyond quips.

why would you want a show without the other mercs? i get that its kinda hard to write those stories for so many chars, thats why even in the comcis pyro, engie and sniper dont really have anything to do, but still
Yes, he's a good enough character to stand on his own, but he's infinitely better with the other mercs. There's literally no reason to make a show with him and not the others.
i guess he is the only one beside pyro that is not close to dying at any point
I'd watch a Road Runner-esque cartoon about Scout routinely fucking with Heavy ala Meet the Scout.

why would you want a show without the other mercs?
It's not about why would you want, but who could you get. How many of them would sign on for like, a 14-episode series contract?
Should've came out earlier then
They're all one foot in the grave or already gone, he's probably a purist who doesn't want recasts
How many of them would sign on for like, a 14-episode series contract?
mercs are ficitonal characters, they dont sign shit. and if you mean voice actors, they're interchangable. og voices arent the only ones who cna do voices. if it worked for rick and morty, could work for tf2
if it worked for rick and morty
I disagree that it worked. R&M was already losing a lot of its charm the less involved Roiland was, but it's especially obvious now how much his comedic timing elevated some jokes.
Valve doesn't give a shit about TF2 anymore. Everything they've done with it as of late is getting fans to make content updates themselves.
I don't care how awful Anon Babble is
REMOVE Anon BabbleERMIN
inb4 TF2 comic
Thread isn't about it
Piss off
Maybe, but I want a show with all of the mercs. Too bad we'll never have one though since Valve was fucking stupid.
Wow, what the fuck were they thinking? Didn't think it got this bad
List of things Comic Scout has going for:
I want to fuck Miss Pauling
Spy is my dada
Which is still more than the games or shorts.
My pitch for a Team Fortress 2 movie would have the 8 mercenaries split among RED and BLUE. The plot would have both teams trying to sabotage and destroy a Gray Gravel Co. outpost in order to take the land for their respective Mann Brothers.
Spy would be the MC and the audience surrogate due to his role as an infiltrator allowing us to see the point of view of the rest. He's not there for the Gravel War, but for a briefcase that's being secured in the outpost. His intel says the case contains information regarding the location of a large cache of Australium hidden somewhere in New Mexico, which he wants to take for his own.
However, his world would turn upside down once he meets Jeremy (Scout) and realizes he's his son. To top it all off, the Administrator is also interested in the briefcase and is just using the Gravel War as a cover. Plus, the other mercs are suspicious of Spy and his allegiances. Now, Spy has to decide whether to continue with his mission or pull his son out of the conflict.
TF2 was in the Venture Bros.

Wow, what the fuck were they thinking?
They were thinking "what if we combined TF2 and DOTA 2, we'd make lots of money" without realizing that TF2 and DOTA players don't want to play a combo of the two.
Crap forgot the other link.

playing with controllers
friendly fire supposedly enabled for some reason
even though theyre clearly on opposite teams
this pissed me off then and it pisses me off now
WHY CANT SHOWRUNNERS DO VIDEO GAMES RIGHT
Playing on console
Empty server with just Hatred and Venture
15FPS
0 movement on cart, which means Hatred just walked past the objective and towards enemy spawn
"C'mon, Doc, we're on the same team!" despite friendly fire off by default and Hatred is clearly a BLU soldier while Doc is a RED pyro and also no one else is in the server
It couldn't have been more obvious that this was a shoehorned in scene because of some Adult Swim promotion tie-in they were probably forced to do.
Do you think TF2 Scout is a good enough character to carry a show
Absolutely
without the other mercenaries?
Absolutely not.
TF2 has more cartoons and comics than most indie animation pitches, webcomics, theme park and thinly veiled porn art threads here. If you're worried about discussion of the game, don't worry, no one does that any more, not since the Ambassador was nerfed.
playing with controllers
There was a PS3/360 version so it's not impossible. But yeah, most people were on PC anyway.
friendly fire
The Meet the Team videos and comics had friendly fire
There's been 360 controller support available for the game on PC since forever. Though I don't know if that still works since the move to 64 bits but I recall it still working on 2022 since I played some scream fortress with that
okay BITCH but were talking about the actual game
It was better than the Robot Chicken one.
would tf2 scout beat the asses of cartoon characters
He doesn't have any superpowers. He runs fast and has some toon force items like bonk drink but even a well trained soldier could still catch him off guard and beat him.
Bonk is temporary radiation powers, none of the mercs are even peak human, there's no indication he runs faster than athletes, just faster than your average Joe
Is double jumping considered a canon thing he can do or just a gameplay mechanic?
In the tf2 comics, its stated that the team fortress 2 game exists in-universe and is a hat simulator recreation of the events that happen in the comic
Engineer and Medic are top tier geniuses.
Engineer holds 11 Phds and invented gadgets that can teleport him anywhere. The Medic can grant himself god-like invincibility and was shown to outsmart the devil in the comics.
(You)
NOT Anon Babble
FUCK OFF
the devil
The devil and god parts are meant to give BLU team some credit, indicating RED team kills they actually pulled off, but this is missed on a lot of comic readers
Could be that it's Hatred's first time playing and Doc is teaching him wrong on purpose just to win. But yea more likely that the creators just knew nothing about TF2 and didnt really care.
It was less that it wasn't economical and more that Valve are a bunch of unfocused lazy fucks who have spent too long rolling in their Steam Billions and have forgotten how to actually make shit. Every developer in that company has their own little pet project and it's a struggle to pull together enough manpower to actually let any one of them reach fruition.
Adult Swim got tired of their shit and the project was canned.
You're not only talking out your ass but you're a fucking retarded Anon Babble tourist that actually don't know shit.
