US Army Combat Veteran Reacts to SCP Overlord Part 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 чер 2024
- I had to check out Evan Royalty's latest military paranormal short film "Overlord". It featured a ton of youtubers like Operator Drewski and SCP Illustrated. Despite not using professional actors at all, they were committed to military realism. As much as one can be in a film about the paranormal. Tune in and find out what I thought about it!

I'm surprised that a team that deals with Paranormal anomalies doesn't have any special weapons? Where are the ghost guns 🔫🤔?
Did they learn nothing from??? ghostbusters
SCP as a whole have access to paranormal weapons and use it time-to-time, cant tell if 9-T-F or EPSILON authorised to use paranormal weapons
@@onerxowns2202 NTF must have some that's for sure
@@trynox4fun259
Knowing how SCP heads fear (itemise and weaponise) paranormal stuff, i never heard even ONCE some SCP weapon or item given to field operative, i mean REGULAR field operative, which is really head of iceberg, they instructed what to do, and what not to do plus their military-police or PMC training, thats it, full stop, if ever SCP was OFFICIALLY granted for use, if ever, it was never documented in any shape or for (which is impossible in SCP universe), i mean for crying out loud EVERYDAY military weapons was used to stop FUCKING (SHY GUY)!!! He can kill any being with eyes, ANY fucking thing!!! What we need some THAUMIEL level treat to use hundreds if not thousands SCP WEAPONS AND ITEMS, the REGULAR Coffee machine dispensor can be used as ultimate weapon alone (just type liquid PLASMA and press enter, and DONT drink it, contain by paranormal laws and foeces, this hand grenade can destroy most things made of matter), yet they DONT use it eighter, i just DONT understand, some of most dangerous SCPs contained by foundation have no purpose or use, yet foundation refuse to destroy them by SCP weapon/item means!!!
....
OK, i calm down now, ok, calm, down, most SCP FOUNDATION desicions (if any), ither
A make no diffirences
B useless
C outright dangerous to the point, of contadiction with whole point of SCP as organisation.
The thing about anomalous objects is that they're... well, anomalous; they follow arcane, poorly-understood rules, and those kinds of unknown variables are exactly what you want to minimize when you're containing anomalies. It's for this very reason that SCPs are very rarely cross-tested with one another, and this kind of cascading failure is exactly what caused the events of the game *SCP: Containment Breach*
they are wearing flannel and jeans because the mtf they are "the village idiots" is a task force focused on blending in as civilians and being able to ditch the combat gear and blend in if needed if the mission goes bad and they need to bug out.
Interesting. That makes more sense
To add on, the MTF's choice of jeans and shirts can be beneficial from chemical safety perspective though a bit lacking from CBNR perspective regarding airborne compounds that can penetrate skin. Then again, if the MTF members’ clothing was not regulated their clothing choice could be disastrous. Granted, I doubt that the writers considered the other impacts of their clothing choice. Nevertheless…
It may sound odd, but in laboratories your secondary protective equipment is a t-shirt, jeans and tennis shoes or equivalent stuff made of cotton. Your primary protective clothing should, of course, be based on a risk analysis and review of MSDS’ (Material Safety Data Sheets), which could include but is not limited to lab coats (generally made of cotton and chemically resistant polymers), goggles (various kinds), gasmasks or other breathing apparatus (various kinds), gloves (various kinds) and outer layers (various kinds). In a similar fashion to military gear, laboratory protective equipment is chosen for a specific set of circumstances as a trade-off between dexterity, comfort and protection. I will oversimplify a bit and propose to you the following similarity:
avoiding a spill in the first place -> ensuring that you survive or are not impeded by the spill
avoiding getting shot in the first place -> ensuring that you survive or are not impeded by the shot
Now consider that the MTF’s have often no idea what they are stepping into. For such situations cotton in a good all-round choice for clothing. Why?
Cotton is chemically inactive or at least chemically resistant to most acids, bases and inorganic solvents - less so for organic solvents. More importantly it is also cheap and disposable (even recyclable). Of course, synthetic fabrics would be even cheaper, but they are less resistant to compounds due to their more regular structure and weaker intermolecular interaction - and they tend to stick to your skin after decomposed trapping compounds on your skin, which is BAD. Cotton is porous so it can contain a spill for a few moments anyway until it seeps through. Thus, after something spills on your clothing even if it penetrates your outer layers, you will have time to remove your secondary layer before the spill comes to contact with your skin. As jeans especially tear easily, you can remove the affected area without difficulty with scissors or your bare hands.
I have never had to resort to any emergency procedures in the lab, but luckily some lovely people worked out all the probable and improbable safety questions decades ago - just in case or to prevent future incidents. If this makes laboratory work sound horribly dangerous, do not worry. It is very safe. Safety procedures and SOPs save lives.
Edit: And there are a few ways to make cotton clothes waterproof and non-flammable, but my favourite is ionized xenon gas to form organoxenoncompounds (has to be done in a lab, do not try at home. Argon or another noble gas that forms a stable compound can also be used). There are some commercial products too.
@@CombatVeteranReacts From a production perspective, they wanted to keep the tactical gear on the actors light enough to where they could easily costume change and transition between scenes. They did only have a week to film this, which sounds like a lot but when you're actually doing it runs out pretty fast.
@@blacksun3884 Additionally, I think it's to make it easier for the audience to distinguish one character from another. If they all wear the same thing, their faces covered with masks, it'd be very difficult to tell who is who.
@@TuntematonX Just curious but I've only ever seen it called CBRN (as opposed to CBNR, might be a completely different thing), is that just an Army thing? Also this comment is pretty neat, I appreciate the elaboration, probably gonna just start wearing cotton all the time now just out of paranoia lol.
"but your friendlies are searching the area"
True, but in this universe, there's a good chance of friendlies going in.. and not so friendlies coming out.
And if you are lucky, that might be two different groups you are talking about. If you are unlucky, the friendlies become the unfriendlies.
Considering dying of old age is a miracle in the SCP foundation and that the foundation sites are probably the most dangerous places (non anomalous at least) on the planet for a normal human being I could definitely see the “the veterans” being in their mid 20s.
Omega-zero: somebody said "death"?
Bright: I wish I could stay dead
I think the whole reputation of everyone in the scp foundation dying young is a bit of a misconception. Although certain keters and groups of interest can cause the foundation lots of casualties these instances are relatively few and far between.
Well, definitely in some of the MTFs who go out into the weird stuff routinely. Bases are supposed to be safer.
@@Prophetofthe8thLegion I'm fairly sure the guys here are mole rats, who are definitely one of the MTFs who would have high casualty rates
EDIT: nvm, they're village idiots
You’re one of the few veterans that give technical advice without ripping into the cinematography. Much respect to you!
yeah those two chucklenuts talking about how terrible it is got on my nerves so fucking bad
@@heliveruscalion9124 saw them on that one gaming media channel (i can't remember the name) so i assumed they'd be as enjoyable to watch as they were there but you know what they saying about assuming
@@vampledample And constantly saying it's just a joke and all in good fun as a cop-out. There's also a channel that has 4-5 veterans in a Zoom-like video call setup talking over and screaming at the screen every five minutes, and make the same excuse in the comments hoping they didn't bruise the director too hard.
@@heliveruscalion9124 I was being very generous and really gave them the benefit of the doubt. Using the same jokes more than three times, talking over the dialogue, saying that the gear being used is wrong every two minutes, discrediting the cinematography and calling it a budget film made by highschool students, etc. I regret watching it, and I want 10+ minutes of my life back.
@@DjurrenArt They’re saying shit because not a single one of them understand the SCP lore.
Some of the MTFs mentioned are:
Epsilon-6 (aka: Village Idiots) specializes in the investigation, containment, and subsequent cleanup of anomalies in rural and suburban environments. Who are the 'canaries' in this instance.
Nu-7 (aka Hammer Down) a battalion-strength force brought in for when the Foundation needs heavy ordinance on a location. Who are the main body of the QRF.
With specialists from Zeta-9 (aka Mole Rats) who specializes in the investigation, exploration, and containment of underground or enclosed areas exhibiting anomalous phenomena, particularly those with inconsistent topography or unstable spacetime.
Mu-13 (aka Ghostbusters) who specializes in dealing with incorporeal or intangible manifestations and entities, particularly those believed to be sentient, sapient, or otherwise intelligent and adaptive.
Beta-7 (aka Maz Hatters) the primary CBRN MTF.
And lastly, Lambda-5 (aka White Rabbits) who specializes in traversing unstable, surreal, and controlled reality, and containing potentially dangerous persons and artifacts capable of manipulating space and time.
Full list of MTFs, both 'canonical' and not can be found here: www.scpwiki.com/task-forces
Dont ask:
A woman: her age
A man: His salary
The SCPF: why they called Epsilon village idiots
Technically there is no Canon.
@@tetraxis3011 True, although in this sense I mean "more than a single offhand mention in one SCP file"
So nu 7 is basically just what they call when they need an army
@@USSEnterprise6126 Yeah, they are the "delete button" when you need something destroyed yesterday and it can be killed conventionally.
I really love the fact that Kolinski guy (He is Polish) has written "Not Yet Lost" on his weapon, which are basically words of the Polish anthem.
The title shot got the silhouette effect by having the camera at ground level as the team approached at ground level. Tactically they were still solid as they were walking out of their LZ which was flat and tree lined all around.
Others already covered the flannel and jeans bit for that particular MTF.
The hole the chemlight was dropped down was directly below where the floating civilian was in the debrief. Hence why it was treated with such care. Sidenote: 'Roger' and 'Wilco' were common Naval radio calls back during my service in the 90's. Any radioman could use 'roger' as an acknowledgement, but only the CO, XO, CIO, or the OOD could use or authorize a 'wilco' response.
The chillness came to the MTF after the initial recon of the hole because it didn't immediately prove hostile and looking further down was the responsibility of another MTF (the Mole Rats that are mentioned).
A great deal of the inconsistencies in their terrain movements and especially in their building clear tactics was a result of goofs in editing. In particular the primary target being out in the open like he was. He was supposed to show up to one side of the 2nd floor hall. And yes, they had a top tier tactical advisor. A behind the scenes video talks about how the cast were put through about 14 hours worth of building clear drills to get it right.
The missing persons posters was the first scene that gave me the chills, mainly because they were placed directly along the MTF's approach route.
The burning effigy approach and walk-by was a one-take show by necessity because of scheduling, lighting, and only being able to burn the effigy once. The owner of the farm land didn't quite understand what was going on so he started rolling the hay bales while they were setting up for the shot so they just added them in.
The 'out of the fog' shot was also cluttered because it was multiple MTF teams converging (inner cordon and scouts together).
The door bunching I think was one of those balance between tactics and camera work shots.
"The missing persons posters was the first scene that gave me the chills, mainly because they were placed directly along the MTF's approach route." - that part that would freak me out was that it was them; their names of their team.
@@malachiXX It wasn't them, it was all of the missing civilians. There weren't nearly enough posters for them to be of the MTF members and the posters had a mix of genders where the MTF team was all male.
@@valashar5313 I didn't get a really good look at all the posters and I didn't work on the project. All I can say is that the first one we get a good look at, looked like a soldier out of his gear. That coupled with the comment "It would seem we are expected" made me think that the posters were them. That would be a really creepy effect wouldn't it? To go on a raid mission and find posters detailing YOUR disappearance, nailed to trees on the route you were taking to get there.
Getting the military stuff right in this film was really important to director Stephen Hancock so he hired two military tactical advisory people Cory Hanes (who plays "Jansen" in this movie) and Tai (Who did advising on the first films SCP: Dollhouse and SCP: First Contact ) who are both military vets who have been deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq and led missions. They did their best to get the details down as much as they could.
the reason the main team we watch are dressed semi casually besides all their gear is cause they are the village idiots they specialize in urban environments usually so their "uniform" is just causal clothing and what gear they need for the mission this gives them the best chance to blend in before amnestics are given to the local populace amnestics are basically the neuralyzer from Men in black in drug form and are usually given to witnesses of any anomaly as if the more of the world found out it could be mass panic and they already have enough problems with 3 other organizations
That makes a ton of tactical sense actually
There’s actually hundreds of other organizations the foundation is in contact/conflict with.
@@Prophetofthe8thLegion But 3 major ones provide the majority of the issues the Foundation fights. Worst is the Chaos Conspiracy which the Foundation has been fighting since post-WW1.
Fun fact: Nu-7 is essentially the closest unit the Foundation has to a standard military unit. I believe it is one of the largest units too.
yeah, it's a entire army, idk if i'm correct but i think they are specialized in combat against human hostiles, probably to eliminate chaos insurgency soldiers or other hostiles involved, if that is the case, Nu-7 is very similar to a real life army
@@eliasbenjaminuribeparra9966 They aren't really specialized against anything specific. Nu-7 is just a large SCP force that gets brought in for any situation that calls for, well, the need to bring the Hammer Down. Mass breakouts and large scale engagements are what they are used for, or in this case, create a massive cordon around an area of interest, but also provide heavy duty backup if needed.
Hammerdown?
2:54 the BPRD, a spin off of the Hellboy comics. Also, the MTF don't have an especially long life span. It is most certainly a "young man's game." Generally you either die, disappear, or are disabled in any number of creative and terrible ways or you request a class A amnestic and retire.
Mostly, you "retire" as member of other MTF... Pragmatism
I like how he considers the context of the situations before he criticizes the videos. Lots of reactors have a really shallow view of things and don’t consider any possibilities other than the one that came up in their head first.
28:12 I think the reason they called weapons free is mostly due to the fact that they don't know what's in the house yet, and given the fact the SCP foundation has run into SCPs that can take control of a person, anyone coming out of the house that didn't announce that move over radio is probably hostile, even the search team themselves.
Finally, a vet with some suspension of disbelief
Part 2 isnt what i want... Its what i need
Alright. I got you. Coming up next week!
To be fair, the MTF they are portraying is under the unit name of the 'Village Idiots'. They are a specialized unit that works in rural environments, such as within the confines of a small town or village.
If something goes wrong and either
1). Exfil was unsuccessful, and is believed to be impossible at this point of time.
2). All communications are cut off, and the unit has reason to believe that exfil is also compromised.
Then they can begin moving towards nearby cities and, on arrival within a large radius of the city, they can bury and abandon (or even destroy) the tactical gear, allowing themselves to blend in with the civilian population and attempt contact with a Foundation agent.
Then again, I am not exactly an expert on this subject. I just hope this helps out a bit.
The reasons they actually wear the casual wear underneath is actually lore-based due to the need to maintain secrecy. If they have to go into a populated area they need to be able to blend in both to not alert the public, and confuse enemies who may be tracking them. The different ways the foundation does things and their tactics are fascinating.
Just saying, if shtf they can always deploy Omega-7. It's an all SCP MTF ment to wipe the slate clean. Often terminating dangerous SCP itself.
Always good to have a final plan
@@CombatVeteranReacts Indeed my good man. I found your channel yesterday and immediately subbed. You are one of the most observant and knowledgeable reactors out there. It's so refreshing and interesting to see your reaction. Try Global Occult Coalition video. You'll love it ^_^
What about Nu-7? It’s a battalion sized MTF equipped with its own tank platoons and aircrafts.
@@Metternich_Enjoyer Please...we have immortal Doom cyborgs, esoteric incorporeal ghosts (Omega-0), and even temporal MTF teams. Memetic and Anti-memetic teams and teams that deal with acausality. There was(is?) an entire platoon of Level 3+ reality bender MTF with bombs in their brain in case they go awall. Some MTF members can literally kill you in the past like that girl with a camera. Alpha 1 is theorized to be as power as Omega 7 and there countless more that are so kickass Rambo would literally loose sanity from mere glimpse at horrors they face. There are MTFs and their branches so secretive even Foundation itself doesn't know (or physically can know) they exist! Now that's hardcore!
@@zhangeldy4097
Please give me examples. The only “immortal cyborg” MTF I heard of, is Tau-5 “Samsara”. Besides that, Tau-5 is just experimental, not really a unit often used in combat.
Alpha 1 and Omega 1 are just another top secret, special forces unit. The only difference to other elite MTFs is, that they are the best of the best and report to the O5 council/ethics committee. Alpha 1 operatives are nothing more, than the O5s personal hitmen.
Ps:
How can MTFs exist, even the whole foundation doesn’t know about?
The reason they used that paint on the gas masks and used civilian clothing is because the creators wanted for them to be distinguishable from one another
That, and Village Idiots
Ngl I kinda cringe with the gas mask. No one in sof want to wear gas mask all day. Not only it hinder you side visions it’s hard to stay focus in combat.
@@haijin7484 Sure. Unless you deal with CBRN evironments almost daily becauae thats your goddamn job?
@@haijin7484 Yeah and they also don’t deal with paranormal shit all the time so things can be different.
@@haijin7484 the group they were dealing with were related to chemical attacks bruh
Red plaid is their field analyst. Having someone to gather intel for later and offer on-site expertise lets the rest of the team focus on the violence.
They're weapons free because anyone in the area, that is not part of their team, is more than likely a threat. At least likely enough to warrant immediate action.
26:38 - Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight has the burning firetruck, burning pile of money, etc.
I think you're right
that's it
The comic you talked about is called Global Frequency and it was absolutely amazing. Loved it so much, it was indeed so sad that it ended.
Global Frequency and the SCP Foundation would have probably had each others phone numbers in their Rolodex.
The SCP Foundation's Mobile Task Force units have such young members because each task force has a survival rate of no more than 5 years at maximum and the members inside each unit have about 3 years as a survival rate, mind you they pull from literally every agency from every country across the globe and still have problems keeping their task forces full of personnel.
The gentleman at their briefing is likely the rare old man who survived to be promoted out of the MTF field teams. Makes him one of the hardest men on the planet.
2:47 I believe Warehouse 13 is what you were referring to.
2:48 Ironically you just described the original Men in Black Comic to a tee and they originally didn't only deal with Just Aliens but other paranormal phenomenon and it was Much Darker in Tone than the Movies.
The RoE thing, he mentions it because in this universe the SCP foundation often acts outside of international and national laws, and regularly breaks your typical military’s RoE.
For example, part of the SCP foundation involves torturing people to attract certain SCPs back to their cells (the femur breaker for example)
Also, if something unknown causes or is involved in the death of an MTF member, they will leave the body as it is now a potential risk to the team or containment.
I like how they selected the MTF as it was suppose to be, and not the "muh NTF"
Epsilon 6 are the "Village Idiots" Specialized in rural areas
And Nu-7 "Hammer Down" is basically a full battalion with helis and armored vehicles
One of the few and best reactions there are, keep it up!
Thanks! Part 2 is coming this week!
Hopa,avem si romani pe aici
@@yourmomcallsmedaddy7274 Ofc :D
I'm like 3 weeks late, but you Should check out SCP: Dollhouse. It was made before the the foundation is preforming a Night raid op in an urban environment.
I want to! I have a bunch more videos in my queue lol!
@@CombatVeteranReacts SCP:Dollhouse is amazing, I highly reccomend
The reason they are so young is that they usually don't get too old XD
The reason why the MTF is so young is because of the mortality rate and the elasticity of their bodies for improvement and modification.
The SCP uses all military terminology due to the fact that SCP officials can commandeer any and all militaries around the world.
Take a look on the " Making of" :D
Will do!
*Looks at the timestamp of Overlord: **2:46**. Looks at the timestamp of the video: **9:51* Oh boy, this ain't gonna be lo- oh it's part one! Makes sense!
For interesting SCP MTF stuff, I recommend scp illustrated MTF list.
Whant to see 2nd part!
Me too! lol! I will film it this weekend! I'm excited!
20:35 yea they brought in a vet as a tac adv who said bluntly "if you do something stupid, you will hear it from me." and when they did building clearing, he would go "stop. you fucked up. didnt turn fast enough do it again. Stop, you didnt protect an angle, you and youre buddy are dead. do it again"
aight, you've earned my sub, this is the 3rd video I've watched and I like how you break everything down from a military perspective. Plus being field artillery it's nice to hear how the other guys operated. We just put the steel down range and moved to the next position
As someone who has been in a multi-national paramilitary group, I can tell you that terms from all services get thrown around but they are dominated by the American and British terms. This is mainly because most other nations we work with used Brit and American forces as the example to follow after WW2. Not that it matters since no one went out cold on a mission until they had trained with the group and got used to the SOP we operated under.
There are a few comic series' about protecting earth from paranormal threats. Two that pop to mind are MIB and Bureau 13.
So to explain the B-roll shots: they often use games such as Arma and GTA for those shots. Arma in particular is a mil sim game that has a lot of military elements available and many players of it understand basic military tactics and knowledge. The shots with the ISR for example could be a zeus player screen with thermal on.
Zeus players are often seen as BDOC, ATC, CO, etc. And are basically on the same level as a DM in DnD. They have a full overview of the games and are capable of spawning enemies or providing assistance by sending ally NPCs.
Hope this info helps, and if your curious about Arma, especially Zeus duties, i highly recommend Liru's channel. He often records his Zeus ops and they're fun to watch
SCP foundation:send an light mortar filled with chemical but not lethal
GOC: bombarded them with 105 mm of high explosive artillery
Oh please
GOC Would use 208
@@embersaffron5522 yes they will use the 2S7 Python from Russia
Ngl I don't normally like reaction videos but you actually give information that I never knew beyond the basics
I'm loving this. Keep it up!
Awesome! Thanks!
I’m trying to write military sci-fi, and I want to learn about things such as military doctrine and strategy to apply, because I think accurately portraying that is very important. Are there any books I can read or series you can recommend on this topic?
Starship Troopers (the book, not the movie)
@@ryanj1829 already have, great book
Well there's the Tom Clancy books
If you have need of Naval stuff, the Hunt for Red October novel is apparently scarily accurate for a guy who had no security clearance at all to write
Ranger handbook
If I’m not mistaken the team that calls weapons free was the security team so anyone that tries to enter the property now that all friendlies are inside are considered hostile.
Im curious, how do you avoid friendly fire, either at night or during the day in poor visibility environments. I imagine a fire fight to b a chaotic environment. How do you bring enough order in that environment to avoiding killing members of your own tean
By moving through an area very, very deliberately (slowly) through the house. The speed and violence of room clearing is part of a larger norm of being very careful and slow, so you can track your friendly movements
@@CombatVeteranReacts and when you are receiving enemy fire, how do you avoid friendly fire then.
@@temwananinkana3419 aim carefully, look before you run somehwere
@@temwananinkana3419 communication is key, you'll have plans in place if radios fail so that you can still tell each other things from a distance.
@@sgttater2313 what happenes in a fire fight. A loud fire fight or ambush. How do you avoid friendly fire then? And at night, how does it work?
I have never heard of SCP, other than seen some videos with "SCP" in the tittle but will certainly look it up now
I think the "we've passed Ambrose" those are specific points that spec ops would say once they've passed a specific point on their journey. A lot of shows and movies that are realistic about the SEALs would using names with a theme of beer, names of famous people to tell TOC where they are without revealing on open comms where they actually are.
It might be a reference to Ambrose Resturants, an anomalous restaurant company that has locations in "underground" areas
for that weapons free bit -- the SCP foundation tends to play on more effectiveness rather than safe; they'd even kill their own guys who were affected by SCP's to avoid containment breaches.
Or kill themselves the way Besson did to protect their teams.
The triangular formation makes bit more sense if they had a command element or dedicated communications element in the center which could react to any perceived threat from all angles, and be in the most secure point of the formation... or perhaps I am over thinking their doctrine and SOPs.
CBRN Mask but rolled up sleeves? Doesn't make sense since most weaponised chemical agents enter via skin anyway.
Knowing this was a pretty small scale production, I'm venturing to guess that the insertion and ISR were all CGI.
Or drone footage with some filter added in post
He doesn't know how high the fatality rate of The SCP Foundation, does he?
i’m real glad you got the fame you deserve man, keep working at it, we all appreciate your stuff
One thing about the SCP Foundation is that different MTF’s (Mobile Task Forces) can be trained and outfitted to handle specific tasks.
For example: In the film, they mentioned the some “Mole Rats” were going to be sent in to look at the hole. The Mole Rats (aka MTF Zeta-9) are trained to operate in enclosed areas like underground caverns, or the Kowloon Walled City (read SCP-184 for that).
MTF Pi-1 (“City Slickers”) specialize in operating in densely populated urban areas like New York City.
MTF Alpha-4 (“Pony Express”) specialize in intercepting anomalies sent through the postal service.
MTF Omega-7 (“Pandora’s Box”) was an attempt to use anomalous humanoids to secure other anomalies. I say “was” because the MTF was decommissioned after one of the SCPs on the team (SCP-076 [Able]) disabled the explosive collar he was required to wear as part of the team and went off on a murderous rampage.
Lastly, MTF Tau-5 (“Samsara”) are a team of four cyborgs cloned from a dead god, who can backup their memories to be uploaded into new bodies if they die, and are usually only activated if the Foundation is dealing with an anomaly that’s so dangerous they can’t risk sending any other MTF in to deal with it (give SCP-1730 a read to see them in action).
If anyone is wondering what scp this is based on, this is SCP-1983.
Please react to the SCP MTF. It gives you the info on what specific units are used to counter each threat.
Don’t know if someone said this but most of the MTF or SCP personnel not the scientific personnel are veterans or retired rangers so half of them do have military experience and yes they did have advisers and a vet Jansens actor was a military veteran.
Actually, Varusteleka makes "tactical jeans" that are cut to allow you to run around and over obstacles without limiting your mobility.
Having re-watched overlord a few times by this point.. I only just now realized that the end was spoiled, just that nobody connected the dots.. The flaming effigy on fire.. has little stick figures attached to the spread out lengths of wood..
I've been watching on UA-cam for 11 Years and its my first time seeing a p48 video, didnt even know that option exist
Fun fact. maybe, looks like him but im not sure, the gray haired guy giving the mtf task force the mission briefing, appears to be Sam Shepard, who you may recognize played General Garrison in the 2001 war movie Black Hawk Down
If i recall correctly they are marked with strobe lights that are invisible to us but are visible to Drones, Gunships, Attacker and other aircraft.
Just discovered your channel
Is actually pretty fun to cowatch this short films!
I'm 2 years late, but I have to say your reaction to this short film is one of my favourites so far.
They are using proper but loose radio protocol. Not using "hey you this is me" and "this is me, send your traffic". Its not strictly enforced depending on the net size and type and but with them sending a report up to command on a net that likely has many elements on it this is surprising. They do get identification right with callsigns and squad/fireteam designation. And they actually get the usage of over vs out correct. You cannot imagine the special kind of hell it is for a Comm Marine to watch this stuff in most media...
████████.
- DR [REDACTED]
Good insight. As always
Alright just wanna say this these are Mercs essentially guns for hire since the foundation wouldn’t wanna send over the top trained agents into a high danger situation in Evan royaltys mind so he made it so they are hired to do this by the foundation
There were other military UA-camrs saying there tactics are wrong? They shouldn't be in the open at all, constantly be in the treeline, stay in concealment. And quote "they are way too close together, one granade and your all dead.
Yeah this is an anomaly not chaos insurgency MTF is a trained unit too it depends on what the threat
I'd watch part 2
:)
Here I am to beg you to upload the part 2 good sir
And if you can, react to Doll House
I'll do part 2 next week!
Finally, can you do more scp reactions?
This specific film is about 2 MTF’s, nu-7, who was the soldiers on the property perimeter, and epsilon-6, who entered the building
Especially in the scp foundation, where anything could be a clue on what or how to contain/destroy an object.
warehouse 13 comes to mind but thats a tv series, maby thats based on a comic?
I don't know if anyone has answered yet, but I think the show you were talking about is Warehouse 13. I frequently use it as a reference for explaining the SCP Foundation to people who are new to it.
Your observation about phase lines was correct in the context of the story. The TOC officer who gave them the mission details at the beginning actually says "Mission code ideas go on the whiteboard in the back" but the subtitles don't catch it. My guess is they took inspiration from the CBS show SEAL Team. I haven't seen mission codes used that way in any other shows or movies.
Your Videos are very Awesome
Thanks!
I never noticed the IR strobe on the people cool detail
Agent Of S.H.I.E.L.D Form Marvel
Fun fact: This was only filmed in 5 days
There was a show called Legion on FX (or FXX, I can't quite remember). I think that was based on the comic you mentioned.
Damn this goes hard. Feel free to screen record
nice reaction
Mobile Task Force Unit Epsilon-11, Designated Nine-Tailed Fox, Has Entered The Facility. All Remaining Survivors Are Advised To Stay In The Evacuation Shelter, Or Any Other Safe Area Until The Unit Has Secured The Facility.
I enjoy it!
I've skimmed the comments here, and two years ago means I'm really late to the party, but if you pay really close attention to the missing person flyers they encounter in the woods. It's posters of the operatives. They were definitely expected.
I’d say a reason they’d all be young is that containment teams usually die young considering they fight complete unknowns with no way to counter them, including images that drive you insane or kill you if you just look at it
In the briefing they mentioned that there is a chemical/biological threat that these suspects pose, this is the reason for the gasmask.
One of the Task forces what the guy said can see controlled reality and intangible manifestations
The one thing I’ll say for the “Weapons Free” comment. There is a decent chance that for whatever reason, whatever walks out of that house needs to be put down, regardless of if they look like a friendly, or is a friendly infected with some shit
fun fact, at 23:53 they only had one shot to film that scene since they only had one effigy to burn
at 3:00 He meant Secure Contain Protect
Hey, i really like your videos, i was wondering if you could check some very old military strategies and practices and compare them with modern ones 🤔
Example, there is a guy called antony cummins who translates very old samurai and ninja manuals, among those manuals there are instructions in how to build and protect fortifications, military ranks and responsabilities, how to do nightraids into enemy camps and castles, formations, how to organize small squads to do assassination missions, how to set up ambushes, sabotage strategies, security protocols to find enemy spies, etc
they actually do have an episode where they talk about berets its hilarious
3:50 is that Operatordrewski I spy on screen before he puts on his A-10 style "Shark Mouth" helmet?
Love the vid! But love you more :3
The comic is HELLBOY
I love hellboy, but I was thinking of "Planetary"
Everyone is young. Uhhhhhh That might have to Do with what usually happens to infiltration teams
