Not sure if anyone's pointed it out yet but that Blu Soldier seems to be the same one from the first Melonman video, "Melonman to the Rescue". If you watch that video you'll see the Blu Soldier's ragdoll is flung into that spot by Melonman's explosive melon. The continuity and attention to detail in these videos is really impressive.
@@gumbuk9769 maybe because seemingly mundane details can contribute to the narrative quality of a piece of art by showing thoughtfulness even if they’re not exciting themselves? Rude.
The ragdolls are like actors, forced to do things against their will or else they’ll be deleted. That’s scary. Especially with the heavy and scout one, heavy tries to comfort scout in his final moments.
@@cheesy9973 near the end, when the melonman is on top of teethineer, he briefly looks away to someone on his left, who is holding a toolgun. He then looks back at teethineer and proceeds to beat him up, and before the video ends, melonman looks away to the same direction before the camera glitches out.
@@numbers4851 I believe that it may be in the same universe but totally separated and not by the same person, kinda like a fan version, where this follows a different player as they use the same character model but the one from gunslinger has a blue shirt while the one in badwater has a white shirt.
And this person also seems to have some other haunted copy of Garry's mod that has haunted TF2 models. Either that or a haunted version of TF2 where the assets brought over into Gary's mod are still haunted.
now this ARG is very good.. knowing again how the player is the villian of the history i really like the idea of a villian what tries to beat Melonman.
Do you think the white void scout went into in the last video could be some sort of “external network” that the characters can escape to? I wonder who is helping the ragdolls…
@@matiaspablaza6084 he definitely knows. he threatened melon man to beat teethineer to a bloody pulp already. and if you consider that he chased a scout that was running away from him with no input of his own, yeah he knows they’re sentient.
Found this channel out through Richter Overtime’s premiere, and I got to say I’m loving it so far. It’s definitely similar to gunslingerpro’s, but it’s got its own twist on it to make it unique. Keep up the good work, definitely going to keep watching
Cant wait to see the next episode of the "Melonman" series. I thought your account got hacked when all those weird videos got posted but now you're back! Rated this one 5 stars. Keep it up!
I gotta say, ARG aside I love the love letter to vintage GMod videos these animations all have. This one especially, with the villain Engineer salvaging a Soldier for his own plans reminds me so much of those TF2 Freak videos
that engineer walk cycle is using the same method from gunslingerpro, but a little improved on. could say gunslinger learned and could either have made this new channel to test out his improved style or is a friend of theirs who learned from theirs and made this? id say rewatching gunslinger and drawing connections could widen what we could think is happening. also noticed both use engineer quite often.
Thats a really good theory, maybe gunslingerpro and badwater have some sort of connection, badwater doesn't seem to like engineer too much like gunslingerpro.
That's impossible. In the QnA,Badwater said he never heard of gunslinger:BECAUSE gunslingers ARG takes place in 2010,Badwaters takes place in 2009.they dont exist in each others year
Is "doctor metalhead" meant to be a Frankenstein type character? Can't wait to see what monsters he comes up with! I bet he's the one who "modified" teethineer.
I like how you're teasing us about the new villan! Melonman really has his work cut out for him, with Teethineer, Metalhead, and this new villan! Can't wait to see it!
Hey man, just wanted to let you know this channel is awesome and I love what you're going for. It's definitely an aesthetic that deserves to be revisited.
So, these videos have consistent lore APART from the ARG? Admirable! Melonman's shenanigans left mercs for dead, roboticized later by Teethineer (presumably), to give rise to Dr. Metalhead and now a cyborg-Soldier.
Theory time! Dr Metalhead says that they will do "whatever it takes" to defeat Melonman, up to and including turning their Soldier friend into a monster using the liquid. My theory is that they (Metalhead and the Teethineer) were told by Badwater that they would be released from his GMod copy if they killed Melonman. If they fail, they would get deleted, so they have been forced to resort to desperate measures.
That’s an interesting theory. It’s sort of supported by the fact that the whole thing is “manually” animated, suggesting that Badwater has complete control here, or that the villains are doing his bidding, or both.
It would be the coolest twist if Dr. Metalhead was teaming up with Badwater in order to defeat Melonman because Metalhead is just as evil as Badwater in the story
Here me out, but what if these Videos are Tied with GunslingerPro2009? Think about it, for the oldest video here is 2 months old, as for Gunslinger's latest video was 2 months old. Both of these share the same premise of ragdolls being alive sorta like the toys in Toy Story, but Blackwater's does more skits like Gunslingerpro did in the past. Idk, just a little food for thought I guess
Honestly prefer this arg over gunslingerpro’s this one is clearly setting up for a revolution or wider story, as seen in passage we now have a main character of sorts blue scout, along with some returning actors ie teethenier and melonman. Gunslinger pros is way darker and more depressing considering there is no hope (so far) for the rag dolls to escape creating a storyline with no direction other than rag dolls being tortured. This uploaded has a story with a direction along with the fact he uploads somewhat commonly. Kudos bad water you have made a better arg (so far) than the person who inspired you.

I’m surprised nobody else has mentioned this, good catch.
Oh gee i wonder _why_ did nobody mention that. Hmmm it's totally not obvious and very interesting.
@@gumbuk9769 maybe because seemingly mundane details can contribute to the narrative quality of a piece of art by showing thoughtfulness even if they’re not exciting themselves? Rude.
you can make a save of a map after your done with an animation, so this kind of thing would have been easy to do.
@@halberd-3291 imagine taking an obviously satirical reply that was pointing out the _obviousness_ of the detail in a satirical way seriously.
The ragdolls are like actors, forced to do things against their will or else they’ll be deleted.

The same thing for melonman, you can see him looking at the player.
@@imtiredofitallmakeitstop when? At the end of teethingeneer there was scout I think even in 0’25 it’s too fast

i dont think badwater forced them like he did melon man
since its all crude gmod animation and not smooth like melon man beating theethgineer
I think the solder is from the first melon man video and now the teethineer is gathering his dead body that died to the melon bomb
Interesting to see where this is going!
obama engineer
@@judgeorsmth another unfunny tf2 joke
Can't wait to see your video tomorrow about this Chanel!
Your going to make a video on this right
You said "You must run"
These will hold us over until the next gunslingerpro2009 video.
You wonder if this is in a similar universe. Either that or this might just be a good ripoff (which I kinda doubt)

The plot that they're making is actually decent enough to keep my interest besides the ARG elements.

i would say that badwater is a fan of gunslinger who started making videos and inturn came across these living NPCs.
they both got the same copy of gmod
These 3 theories were disproven by the canonical QnA,with bad water never having heard of gunslinger
That's impossible. In the QnA,Badwater said he never heard of gunslinger:BECAUSE gunslingers ARG takes place in 2010,Badwaters takes place in 2009.they dont exist in each others year
The engi seems to be walking using the method shown in gunslingerpro's tutorial, nice detail
Dang, this shit is cool! Really like the animation and how everything is pretty eerie
Is "doctor metalhead" meant to be a Frankenstein type character? Can't wait to see what monsters he comes up with! I bet he's the one who "modified" teethineer.
Woah! Melonman is going to get absolutely pwned by this new villian!
Tbh out of all of the 2 villains and heroes, pyder and teethineer are the most creepy
Almost perfectly like a 2010's video, great work. Never hurts to start out small.
the low quality adds an eerie vibe to these videos and i love it
guys we found gunslingerpro2009 brother
They should do a collaboration. Like a GMOD Tennis and what not.
gunslingerpro2009 x BadwaterVideos2009 ARG crossover when
Moving around in low res in one thing. Actually making good animations in between the story bits it fucking incredible
im genuinely interested in this melonman series dude
Also, the Wheelbarrow from "Metalhead rises" is next to the radio in "Passage"
Being here before all these UA-camrs cover it is quite strange
Looks like Soldier is going to the FEV Vats
Anyone else notice the teethineer out of character feeling his face? You can tell he wasn't always like that and he is still mortified.
This gave me hell of nostalgia damn i miss old days.
These videos are so well animated and i love, ill rate this 5 stars!
wow, these machinimas are mega-awesome! 5 stars and subscribed!
That use of that one scenery-purpose room in Junction is a good touch, I did that once for one of my old works, good times.
I like how you're teasing us about the new villan! Melonman really has his work cut out for him, with Teethineer, Metalhead, and this new villan! Can't wait to see it!
BEST arg I've seen in a while 👍
Keep doing what ur doing!
Amazing!
Hey man, just wanted to let you know this channel is awesome and I love what you're going for. It's definitely an aesthetic that deserves to be revisited.
At this point I'm getting recommended these videos
I love this
So, these videos have consistent lore APART from the ARG? Admirable!
Melonman's shenanigans left mercs for dead, roboticized later by Teethineer (presumably), to give rise to Dr. Metalhead and now a cyborg-Soldier.
Ngl I like the story these videos tell and for a video of low quality it's actually very good and the lore is a mystery
I'm happy to be your 49th sub!
I LOVE YOUR STUFF GIVE US MORE!!
ngl,This a well made ARG it has a lot effort in it.
Oh cool new villain cant wait for next ep
this... is amazing bruh
Man, what a great GMOD animation! R.I.P. that Soldier though.
subscribed to this 4 hours before the Richter video so I can say I'm OG
This is terrifying.. But keep posting more i like it!
This is some Frankenstein's Army shit.
A NEW FREAK RISES!!!
I am genuinely invested in these Super Hero shenanigans, I think they're hella coo'.
Nice animation
Really like this Doctor Metalhead character, reminds me of old tokusatsu villains. Hope we see more of him in the future!
teethineer is mad doc!!!!
yes I hope melonmann beats him one and for all!
@Rewrite210 yeah!!!!!!!
Awesome👌🏻✨🌿

BadwaterVideos2009 is what would happen if GunSlingerPro2009 decided to focus more on the SFM aspects rather than doing tutorials/skits on GMod.
Can’t wait for the next episode
*Gives me Fallout 1 bad ending vibes.*
well i'm gone but before i gonna leav 5 star because your animations look so good sometimes i start think there is a person on your videos
This is my favorite ARG!
Oh no!!!
How melon man will defeat them??!!!
Go melon man!!!
Now this is a great story
Richter overtime is gonna get you more attention
That’s how Dr. Metalhead lost his medical license LOL
Forget the ARG, I wanna see where this is going
It got "cancelled" due to "technical" issues, check his qna
he’s MAD 😡
*I want Metalhead to have his own theme(?*
Hyped
Holy moly. Dr. Is truly Mad 😂

@@mayskiechasy I didnt notice that in this video till now. Thanks for pointing that out

Here with the Eggman, No more breathing
No more seeing and believing
Close your eyes and say goodnight
For I am coming
**menacing laughter**
R.I.P. Soldier
Ur best
Wooah.
A man already find out what's happening good luck...
what happened to dr metalhead and the teethineer to make their faces like that 😟😟
This really reminds me of the Cyborg Soldier GMod series from yesteryear.
The werid thing is all the videos have no dislikes and it makes me feel happy
1 bastard disliked this one
Eager for new videos
Oh man, I grab my popcorn
its worth noting that the blu soldier is actually where he was shot in the first melonman video
uh oh, new villain for meloman! you can win melonman!
oh man he gonna make people
Epik
this is basically gunslingerpro ARG but you get the characters POV
Cool!...That's kind of all I got.
That dastardly Dr. Metalhead. We shouldn't worry though, Melonman will beat him, I'm sure
Let them go!
oh no
melonman might not get out of this one
Doesn't look like anything wrong is going on in this vid
i swear i saw something on the distance, still looking for it tho
Sucks the episode was canceled :(
here before this channel becomes relevant
I like where you are taking the story! What are Dr. Metalhead and teethineer working on? Maybe melonman will need help.
1:40 and so, the blu soldier became a mutant from fallout 2
