Yeah, like thinking Ms Pauling actually died when really Zatana just assumed she died because she doesn't like her, and neglecting to mention that the Heavy who shows up was actually the TFC Spy.
I don't know if this was already commented in this channel, but Soldier getting together with Zhanna despite loving USA isn't really all that unfitting. Heavy's family was sent to a Gulag because his father (who I'm pretty sure died) was a counter revolutionary. They later escaped and burned everything to the ground, and went to live in hiding in Siberia, with Heavy becoming a mercenary to help support his family. And I'm pretty sure that the invaders that Heavy's sisters fought were from the USSR army. So Zhanna probably hates socialism almost as much as Soldier.

23:40 Correction Again : Medic didn't revive Sniper in 6 Hours. Medic revives Sniper after he was dead for over 8-9 Hours. The Revitalizer wouldn't work in this instance since he was dead for hours instead of seconds. This guy has so much misinformation in his video that it's actually hysterical.
28:48 Correction Again 2 - Electric Boogaloo 2 : Medic didn't implant 8 additional hearts into his body. He stitched 8 additional SOULS onto his already existing soul. It is unclear whether these souls belong to The TFC or TF2 Mercs so it is left to interpretation. But what is certain, Medic has 9 Souls so he can send himself to Heaven if he wants to.
I'm pretty sure he got his souls from the TF2 mercs, since when Pauling is questioning herself how did they won the fight against TFC mercs + the robot army, medic responds: "Because we dont have souls" or something similar to that
People seem to forget how big of a deal it is that Sniper is a Kiwi not an Aussie. I mean i guess it doesnt change anything. but thank god that sheep in dingo's clothing has been outed. Just like how Internet Historian is technically a Kiwi too, dont let these lecherous hobbits fool you, they are not the sons of a sunburned country, but imposters.

Fun Fact: Pyro while being a schizophrenic pyromaniac actually has great engineering skills that might even rivel the Engineer his own flame thrower was home made it's just that he's a pyromaniac and mixing that with his schizoprenia and you get Pyro
0:59 Not even really into TF2, but even care about the lore. Even that Heavy has a PHD in Russian literature and is actually quite intelligent. Even in the Russia dub of the game, his word choice is one that is very wise and poetic.
Even better, Heavy hates communists more than Soldier ever will. The Soviets killed all of the adult men in his family for fighting for the Russian monarchy when he was young, and the rest of his family was forced into hiding. He's a Russian Monarchist who sends most of his money back to his family; the ammo costs are paid for by his employer.
@@shrub8644 Again, Heavy's famous quote from his Meet the Team video, "I've yet to meet one man that can outsmart bullet" is a joke based on Russian literature. The point is that the bullet is the dumbest thing on the battlefield, so the joke is that he's saying he literally hasn't met anyone smarter than the dumbest thing. It's a clever insult that you wouldn't pick up unless you understood the reference. Not only is there no reason to not think he doesn't have a PhD in Russian Literature, it actually makes sense within the context of his Meet the Team video.
The video already revealed much of the overall plot, but every issue have such details that hasn't been addresed in it, chek out to "the beard" dubs of them, they are priceless
22:3025:04 Correction : Whatever he said this is completely wrong and misinformative. Heavy and Scout didn't save The Mercs. It was Classic Spy trying to extract Intel out of them. Heavy and Scout won't arrive until many pages later with Saxton Hale and Maggie.
Ok, Zhanna and soldier being a thing could be easily explained with, soldier simply doesn't realize that Zhanna is russian. He actually thinks that everyone on his team is American. At one point maybe didn't, because it's explained in the comics that soldier has been drinking the lead poisoned water instead of the bottled water the rest of the team drinks. This is also why soldier became a lot more zanier over the years.
3:52 May Clear up the identity of the original Mercs: Abe Lincoln as the Pyro (Also canonically invented stairs in the tf2 universe) Stonewall Jackson as Soldier Nikola Tesla as Engineer John Henry as Heavy? Sigmund Freud as Medic Davy Crockett as Sniper Dr Fu Manchu as Spy Billy the Kid as Scout And idk who demoman is
26:00 Correction Again 2 - Electric Boogaloo : Sniper and Spy wasn't working together at this point. Spy was just trying to make The Classic Sniper leave his nest to give The Team more leeway against The Bots while Sniper was still in the phase of escaping The Base's Medbay and just so happens to find a Sniper's Nest where Spy was about to be tortured by The Classic Sniper.
i got super into tf2 when my friend who introduced me to the game casually brought up how soldiers preffered method of combat is naked and covered in honey
I honestly found that little bit where the mercs are wearing 3-D glasses while Demoman struggles to get the effect with one eye and just gives up, tossing the glasses away really funny.
I can't believe you didn't mention VaatyVidia when it came to lore channels. That guy knows everything about the Souls series from the big bang to every possible end
The abridged version of the demoman eye thing is that he worked for marasmus to clean his house. He looked into a cursed book and the book cursed his eye socket. If demo's eye is restored then come spooky month his new eye will grow 10-20 times in size and attempt to kill everyone.
this was the original storyline for the tf2 show that would air on adult swim but got shut down and cancelled, the pilot of this show was experation date
that comment about getting comments about demoman's eye all the time really hits home as i did an animation (that blew up) years ago that, because of an issue with how source filmmaker renders certain things, a character didn't have hair. and to this day I get comments maybe once a week pointing out that the character doesn't have hair.
No offence to the original uploader, but this "lore" is poorly assembled. Rather, it is merely a summary of the comics with no set-up for the variety of unusual concepts and connections.
I love the TF2 comic. I mean, I love the game as-is, but the comic expanded on the cast's personalities and told a bizarre story that would not make sense in any other setting. Again, I love it.

Advice : This version is obviously very [29:51] simplified and abridged. The plot points feel out of place because the context behind it is very removed. I suggest Paul actually watch The Dubbed Comics for understanding onto The Lore. It's very funny but also dramatic and intriguing. It would be a shame not to review it.
You've said right in the title for this vid that TF2 lore scares & confuses you. The best way to reduce fear is knowledge (& deeper understanding) about what scares you & it's also a more direct counter to confusion. Granted, TF2 lore is more Twisted than Sister is (the play on words here is intentional) & could only happen in a fictional world but I applaud your attempts to increase your understanding, even if it's in a general topic that you are only indirectly exposed to. One can still enjoy playing the game without delving into the lore but that very lore also affects how people view the game overall...It's sort of like the info dump in a mission briefing that explains why a specialist team might be sent in to perform a specific, designated task. Think of this as the briefing James Bond gets before he's sent out for a mission...He's given background info, & specific info even as he's given the actual goal of the mission itself. He's informed to the point where, if the *planned* mission is on the verge of failing, he can improvise Plan's B, Plan C's, Plan D's, & more so that he can achieve the overall goal. Being on the scene & being so familiar with it, his chances of success increases. Of course, as all of this lore only *indirectly* affects you, even in ways that don't detract from playing it, you can at least get the inside jokes, pick up tips & tricks, & maybe even improve on tactics that different classes might use according to the loadout they carry. Overall, kudos for stepping forward, even if it's in places where there is no *need* to go. If nothing else, I hope you were at least able to enjoy it as entertainment.

5:09 on the topic of Aboriginal Australians, the best estimates say they were here 60,000-70,000 years ago, and I believe they're the oldest surviving culture in the world. However, they most likely wouldn't have found Australium, as they lived with a philosophy of caring for the land and only taking what they needed. They wouldn't have been mining enough to have found Australium.
But never forget such classic characters as shakespearicles, the strongest writer to ever live who invented rocket jumping and the two story house. Abraham Lincoln, a mercenary as old day pyro and invented stairs which shakespearicles forgot.
The original team lineup consists of: Billy the Kid - Scout Stonewall Jackson - Soldier Abe Lincoln - Pyro Alfred Nobel - Demoman John Henry - Heavy Nikola Tesla - Engineer Sigmund Freud - Medic Davy Crockett - Sniper Fu Manchu - Spy
Eh, he came back in some alternate universes, though indeed not in Earth-616 Similarly, the original Gwen Stacy technically never came back in that universe either, but there are two clones of her running around so, go figure

That little girl was also Gray Mann’s daughter. Whether she’s his adopted or biological child is never stated. Also, Mags is Saxton Hale’s love interest. Something happened between them, likely Saxton becoming the CEO of Mann Co, as they were sort of like…adventuring buddies. Eventually, she other lovers, but they couldn’t hold a candle to Saxton, so they died.
The australium aboriginal situation sounds a lot like the saudi oil situation. Siting on liquid gold, but in a age too early to make use of it themselves until colonized.
Someone actually explained why the whole naming of a generation thing is daft, and I think everyone else explained the attention span thing. (the fact that it is rather blatantly daft)
21:44 Heavy and his family escaped a gulag, and Heavy went to work in America to support his family (he was paid rather handsomely for his service with Mann-Co) so they probably didn't have any loyalty towards communism.
Australium is probably deep underground, that's why native Australian didn't get their hands on it, but English Australians did get their hands on it, by digging mines.
1:57 "I'm going to revamp to a TF2 lore channel!" ... We like your IQ where it is, Paul. Unless it's going higher. We don't need to hear how Abraham Lincoln invented Rocket Jumping for the 30th time. 30:13 Point proven. Reaction gotten.
I know this is a scrapped concept during Pyros development but i will always refer the Pyro as a he since his old concept was either a pyromaniac white man or a Hispanic that knows how to use fire but hates his job burning people and drinks tequila to cope from the trauma of the screams of his "Targets". Actually I'm glad we got the Mysterious Pyro over a Grim dark character.
5:20 let me introduce you to a very surprising thing: imperialism! The english would have simply done as usual, took the shiny bits and at best ignored the aboriginies. Edit: typo
How can the story of two brothers that lived more than an hundred years, hired more than 50 mercenaries to fight for empty lands, for a society led by an Australian superfighter, then taken back by the third long lost brother who became the leader of a robot army that looks like the mercenaries, then killed his brothers before firing the mercenaries, who then proceeded to all get in crappy situations (except Heavy), while the new bad guy hired the PREVIOUS mercenary team to find Gold that isn't Gold but a magic rock who can grant eternal life as long as you have some, which is possessed by the old lady that nobody almost never saw that yells "ADDITIONAL TIME" in the speakers, while her secreatry reformed the mercenary team to defeat the evil mercenaries that killed the last brother so they can get eternal life can scare and confuse anyone ?
it's not the replacement of lead pipes, lead pipes are safe once a layer of limestone starts coating the inside, which is very quickly in most cases. the reduction in crime is more associated with the implementation of unleaded fuel, which was a much bigger problem.

MHGR at the first 25 seconds of the video: *announces an entire paragraph*
5:09 on the topic of Aboriginal Australians, the best estimates say they were here 60,000-70,000 years ago, and I believe they're the oldest surviving culture in the world. However, they most likely wouldn't have found Australium, as they lived with a philosophy of caring for the land and only taking what they needed. They wouldn't have been mining enough to have found Australium.
But never forget such classic characters as shakespearicles, the strongest writer to ever live who invented rocket jumping and the two story house. Abraham Lincoln, a mercenary as old day pyro and invented stairs which shakespearicles forgot.
The demoman's eye socket is cursed by merasmus so medic cant heal it without it becoming giant
The original team lineup consists of:
Billy the Kid - Scout
Stonewall Jackson - Soldier
Abe Lincoln - Pyro
Alfred Nobel - Demoman
John Henry - Heavy
Nikola Tesla - Engineer
Sigmund Freud - Medic
Davy Crockett - Sniper
Fu Manchu - Spy
TF2 lore jumps the shark and then flies off into the sunset, never to land again.
Sad but beautiful
(In reference to Marvel comics) 23:46 "No one ever dies, everyone gets revived"
Except Uncle Ben!
Eh, he came back in some alternate universes, though indeed not in Earth-616
Similarly, the original Gwen Stacy technically never came back in that universe either, but there are two clones of her running around so, go figure
@@Megalomaniac_Trans_Lesbian Spiderman also ends up having some of the genuinely darkest, most fucked up scenarios related to someone "coming back from death". Oh, hello there, _One More Day,_ how've you been?
@@smartboy201 You think that's fucked up ? Have you read Spider-Man: Reign ? XD
@@Megalomaniac_Trans_Lesbian Technically, Parker's arc in the Marvel Superhero Zombies-timeline... like I said; "scenarios".
@@smartboy201 Oh you're right, that one was on a whole 'nother level 😂
8:00 All I got is tha those kind of people become narcissists and borderline psychopaths
Pual! Play or watch Foxhole, it's a co-op sandbox MMO isometric war game! It's right up your alley!
Thing is with Pyro we don't even if its Human.
Oh no, now that he's done TF2, he's bound to get into Touhou
My wish finally came true!
That little girl was also Gray Mann’s daughter. Whether she’s his adopted or biological child is never stated.
Also, Mags is Saxton Hale’s love interest. Something happened between them, likely Saxton becoming the CEO of Mann Co, as they were sort of like…adventuring buddies. Eventually, she other lovers, but they couldn’t hold a candle to Saxton, so they died.
The australium aboriginal situation sounds a lot like the saudi oil situation. Siting on liquid gold, but in a age too early to make use of it themselves until colonized.
“Almost nobody dies in marvel”
Gwen Stacy has entered the chat
Don't you mean left the chat?
Someone actually explained why the whole naming of a generation thing is daft, and I think everyone else explained the attention span thing. (the fact that it is rather blatantly daft)
While this is a great like quick summary, i recommend watching the fandubs of the comics on youtube to get a more indepth and "personal" experience
Stache in thumbnail. No stache in video. I feel betrayed.
due to Pyro being the same mercenary from all that time ago, I‘m pretty sure Pyro is male
2:59 Yeah... about that.
3:15 YEAH. ABOUT THAT.
21:44
Heavy and his family escaped a gulag, and Heavy went to work in America to support his family (he was paid rather handsomely for his service with Mann-Co) so they probably didn't have any loyalty towards communism.
8:38 I’d get enough money so neither me nor anyone I cared about would have to work again
Australium is probably deep underground, that's why native Australian didn't get their hands on it, but English Australians did get their hands on it, by digging mines.
possible theory: You know how scout dies in 1987? someone named jeremy dies that year in fnaf 2.
same person or coincidence?
fun fact in this universe abrahan lincon die trying to rocket jump
"mark Zuckerberg has the worst public image of any person. Full stop"
Elon musk: hold my beer
Pff those are rookie hours.
I have almost 3k. By tf2 standards, im still green.
That sounds about right for an Army officer.
7:21 Arkham riddler backstory?!?!?
1:57
"I'm going to revamp to a TF2 lore channel!"
...
We like your IQ where it is, Paul. Unless it's going higher.
We don't need to hear how Abraham Lincoln invented Rocket Jumping for the 30th time.
30:13
Point proven.
Reaction gotten.
Paul you look good with a full shave.
17:02 Ayo my dad works at black rifle coffee company
Trust me, it gets wierder
I know this is a scrapped concept during Pyros development but i will always refer the Pyro as a he since his old concept was either a pyromaniac white man or a Hispanic that knows how to use fire but hates his job burning people and drinks tequila to cope from the trauma of the screams of his "Targets".
Actually I'm glad we got the Mysterious Pyro over a Grim dark character.
This dude deserves more subscribers.
Hey Paul, you should react to martincitopants, he falls into the same category as Sseth and Max0r, he also just passed 1M subs. It some good content!
14:05 as a new mexican i can confirm that this is true
5:20 let me introduce you to a very surprising thing: imperialism! The english would have simply done as usual, took the shiny bits and at best ignored the aboriginies.
Edit: typo
How can the story of two brothers that lived more than an hundred years, hired more than 50 mercenaries to fight for empty lands, for a society led by an Australian superfighter, then taken back by the third long lost brother who became the leader of a robot army that looks like the mercenaries, then killed his brothers before firing the mercenaries, who then proceeded to all get in crappy situations (except Heavy), while the new bad guy hired the PREVIOUS mercenary team to find Gold that isn't Gold but a magic rock who can grant eternal life as long as you have some, which is possessed by the old lady that nobody almost never saw that yells "ADDITIONAL TIME" in the speakers, while her secreatry reformed the mercenary team to defeat the evil mercenaries that killed the last brother so they can get eternal life can scare and confuse anyone ?
Actually team fortress classic is team fortress 1.5, so it is not future of tf2, as it happens before it
I watched it multiple times without losing attention
One second, gonna go to the meet the team video to tell you why Demo’s eye can’t be healed
it's not the replacement of lead pipes, lead pipes are safe once a layer of limestone starts coating the inside, which is very quickly in most cases.
the reduction in crime is more associated with the implementation of unleaded fuel, which was a much bigger problem.
Paul Shaved! Second. The videos are excellent as always, keep up the good work. Third, the tf2 lore is a weird and scary thing
