I honestly believe that Soldier would be the last class to have a reading taunt, but hes reading the art of war, so I support it

[@VerbuggterHerrderDunkelheit]

Well it took him a while to get that it was upside down, so you knos it's still lore accurate.

[@GregFRDT]

​@@VerbuggterHerrderDunkelheit It wasn't upside down
...But he somehow still didn't understand the book to the point of needing to flip it so it could be still lore accurate

Of dead people

[@GregFRDT]

​@@heavygaming7206 While your statement does sound plausible at first, i decided to take some time and pay attention to the details by checking the video during a full playback at x0.25 speed.
The conclusion of my analisys has been that during the 4 different pages that soldier looks at during the taunt, the first two of them definitely contain only text, as for the other two i didn't quite manage to take a good look at them but judging by the white/slightly beige or yellow-ish colour of the pages makes it extremely likely for it to be more text.
For these reasons, i disapprove your statement with reasonably high confidence. (Although i do appreciate speculations)

[@doubledash4819]

Soldier reading? Now that is a Sight for sore eyes. I love how he turn it upside down than back again to read.

[@johnkurtz2669]

Remember he may be reading but it looks like he’s having a damn hard time trying to

[@averybishopmartin6964]

Soldier actually canonically knows how to both read and write.

[@scootthescout9426]

@@averybishopmartin6964 I get the writing, but reading?

[@averybishopmartin6964]

@@scootthescout9426 In previous comics it was shown he regularly reads a magazine called "Guns and Soup". You can see stacks of them in his bunker home in the comic that was released for the WAR update.

[@DaddyMaster76]

He likes the pictures

[@lanterns_glow]

"IF FIGHTING IS SURE TO LEAD TO VICTORY, THEN YOU MUST FIGHT!" SUN TZU SAID THAT, I HAVE A BOOK TO PROVE IT!

[@jazzminrice]

It makes me so happy he’s reading Art of War lmao

[@TheMooGoesCow1]

Soldier will probably rip it when he finds out Sun Tzu isn’t American

[@asterlofts1565]

@@TheMooGoesCow1
As it does with all non-American things and people.

[@judet2992]

“Danger do not sit” on the box is a nice touch.

[@GoldenLaneStudio]

Looking sleek!

[@deadlock-4337]

Yea i guess so

[@____2114]

Hey it’s you guys who make cool animations!

[@aiksi5605]

Soldier reading spy's Dutch shywolf fanfic

[@asterlofts1565]

😐😐😐😐

[@TheTrueForgottenOne]

Bro I would actually buy this if it comes out

[@Dr._Xenonrairvids]

Same

[@enriquemp3424]

good thing you are back. i love your animations. they are so smooth and the movement is cartoonish. nice job man

[@iggyandthefool8559]

I would kill for a taunt like this in game,

[@lockefosho46]

HXX (after making this awesome taunt): 0:26

[@existential_narwal9257]

I can just imagine soldier stopping mid firefight just to sit down and read for strategies on war.

[@Artemich20v]

DO NOT SIT

[@NotSoProfessionalGuy]

Glad to see you back. And don't this fits Soldier well

[@X3H3X]

I'm actually curious what the Heavy would have

[@Pumpkinsmasherok]

It would be a recreation of this ruclips.net/video/5IbJrp2TPco/видео.html

[@Pumpkinsmasherok]

It would be called the "gamers grog"

[@asterlofts1565]

Communist books reading?

[@TailcoatGames]

Heavy has a phd in literature so likely older books

[@gred9431]

Lolita

[@TheMooGoesCow1]

This needs to be added

[@The_D_ray]

I can already imagine people buying this emote and renaming themselfes "I can't actually read" or something like that.

[@connorcaddy5661]

Your a great animator

[@bparra]

Wow amazing animation

[@revathi15]

RANCHO RELAXO FOR EVERY CLASS????!? GOD! WE GOT 2 IN SMISSMAS AND THIS! MY GOD! VOTE IT BOIS!

[@hellhounds04]

We need this.

[@Tblaster00]

I love this, I've been dreaming for a soldier rest taunt for months

[@Maxler5795]

the fact he's reading the art of war stright and with no issues supports my claim that this dude is actually a genius in the making.

[@k9thewolfycat]

I like to imagine he cant read, but he still likes to look at the book and make fake quotes

[@magdonal987]

The return of the king

[@MaxLebled]

great work

[@gahler8552]

Soldier are only the last class to have loop taunt. We really need that taunt now!

[@FDR-ww6xz]

Only two rancho relaxos left. And that’s Heavy and Sniper

[@tehrobotickitten7050]

This person made one for Sniper called the Shooter's Stakeout, which I think works pretty well for a "sitting" taunt for Sniper.
So all that's left is Heavy, really.

[@panicwolf8586]

The closest currently is the table tantrum, but Heavy doesn't constantly eat, just looks at the food until you have to end the taunt for him to eat a single thing

[@Vivek-wy2ji]

We want this taunt ingame!!!

[@amber.mp4]

i would expect him to drag his pointer finger across the page as he reads lmao

[@tf2Sniper.]

Well Soldier can read.I am proud of him

[@WEndro333]

I hope they add this next Christmas.

[@jackmckeown7601]

He be sipping lead water though

[@asterlofts1565]

Well... the Demoman can drink acid... so...

[@GunSpyEnthusiast]

that better be a fucking picture book.

[@superYurilicious]

Alternative title:Soldier's rancho relaxo

[@KT-os3cq]

He reading
How to punch a person from the screen.

[@revathi15]

A NEW TAUNT! ITS BEEN SO LONG!

[@haydenomstead3801]

He finally apples after eight months

[@KingMB_XJ_Official]

He has no idea what he's reading.

[@huylam3951]

At least he read The Art of War by Sun Tzu. WWII American Soldier reads words from an ancient legendary Chinese general.

[@Rr-ke7qc]

Hey your back

[@thewarden9284]

I accidentally subscribed while trying to boot up Steam but unsubbing would be quite rude and I like the animations you make anyways, so I'll just turn on notifs.

[@curryleaf4233]

i like the detail of book,even inside have write the the art of war in chinese

[@superYurilicious]

I like that

[@raphaeltudor7037]

he should be reading the comunist manifesto

[@Lord_Numpty]

Huh. Didn't know Soldier could read.

[@lootrat4556]

You should have put that how to read book sitting next to him on the box

[@Frezer_mann]

We need that But can u make a Book correct color for the Blue Team (make it blue)

[@jolo8224]

I wonder how much lead is in that canteen

[@KjHerbohn]

he should read a comic book instead of a book, books are more heavy's thing

[@Nick_42]

they add new taunts on Halloween 2021, but don't add this one, unbelievable

[@hzeal3797]

i mean, we did get one for scout that was basically the same but for him, they're probably going to add this later.
i hope.
