Team Fortress lore goes hard. There's a lot of other stuff before the Manns' history, like Shakesperacles, the strongest writer to man inventing rocket launchers and the two story house (and by extention Rocket Jumping), and George Washington, who invented stairs.
20:23 Has anyone else noticed Olivia Mann's weird amber pupils? The comic gives literally every other character simple black pupils, but intentionally pulls away from that established rule for Olivia. The ONLY other time we see characters with amber pupils is when they've overdosed on Australium, and that feels TOO deliberate. Did Grey Mann genetically modify Olivia with Australium, perhaps? He mentioned he had far greater plans for the Australium than immortality... maybe Olivia was the prototype for these "greater plans?"
love the contrast between half lifes lore and tf2s lore. here's a world where a horrific accident causes otherworldly beings to enslave humanity under the worst oppression they've ever known. now here's a world where two idiot brothers fight over gravel and gold that gives you super powers and a mustache!
TF2's lore is... ridiculous. But it's also very interesting and captivating. Unlike most VALVE games, it's not afraid to make it's story so comedic in premise and I like that. But I find it SO impressive that this lore can be so silly in its concept, but it tells such a captivating story too. It strikes the perfect balance between stupidly funny and fascinatingly cohesive and well put together. Now the only question is... if someone were to make lore for a game like Garry's Mod, what would they create...? (The lore for Garry's Mod is what you make it. Go nuts. XD)
Gmod Lore Garry Moddison was a young innovator and had many inventions he wanted to show the world. Unfortunately, people doubted Garry's skills. One day, as he walked down the street he heard someone say "I wish someone made a mod" and Garry said "THAT'S IT, A MOD!" and began his legacy
The gravel no matter how small have some bits of metal in it and America was capitalizing infrastructure and Roads and other materials gravel is the basics
Wait, Helen (the administrator) is the child of Elizabeth (Maan's nursemaid)? I thought the Administrator WAS Elizabeth just going by a new name, hence why when she uses the last of the funny gold stuff at the end of the comics she wears a dress in the style of the mid to late 1800's.
I thought the same. She had also kept herself alive. I did read somewhere that a developer claimed they were different people though. Although I would disagree, I can't go against the words of a developer 😂
She is, he asked radigan to build another life extender machine for redmon too, BUT to also build a third machine, which is safe to asume was for herself
One of my favourite aspects of the TF2 lore is the importance of gravel. Of all the resources in the world for this entire decade-spanning, life taking, earth-shaking feud, I LOVE that it's over something so _entirely_ not worth it.
Technically with this taking place in the late 60s early 70s, it could take place in the half life/portal universe. Maybe the teleportation tests that black Mesa was working on was inspired by the Australium teleporters lol.
Fun Fact : A Cancelled Half-Life game Half Life Hostile Takeover Had that the Classic Mercs were a part of the Half-Life Universe If Valve did actually released that game imagine what tf2 would have been
@@self-proclaimedanimator It wouldn't reach the meme potential like our current time but it would be an interesting title to be talked... through for a niche fanbase. I'm pretty against the idea of connecting everything to Half Life. The reason L4D2 and TF2 are golden mine of meme is because they distant themselves from the seriousness and also the world of Half Life. I love Portal, don't get me wrong. But it will benefit more if it's a standalone story on its own.
Skyrionn, the quality of your videos is so high. I'm always so excited to see your videos in my notifications and I was overjoyed to see a TF2 lore video. Cheers to you for getting close to 100k!
You know... with Olivia Mann becoming the last heir of the Mann Family, and the fact Zephaniah Mann becomes an immortal poltergeist... I wondered what their interaction would be...
I love TF2. Some wacky Looney-Tunes logicked human world with a bit of Norman Rockwell and other mid-century Americana aesthetics. The absurdity of the people and world is great. Like stairs being invented by Abraham Lincoln after someone else invented rocket-jumping when they invented a two-storey house without stairs. Also, love that Abraham Lincoln was the pyro during an early group of Gravel War mercs. XD
I am immeasurably grateful for this video. I played TF2 for years and was too lazy to learn the story from comics. Now that I got familiarized with the TF2 story, I am more proud to call myself a fan of this game and its universe. Though I don’t play video games anymore, I enjoy your videos about TF2, Half Life, and Portal. Cheers to you, Skyrionn 🎉❤
cant wait for the sudden appearance of Greeton as a fourth character who dies to the administrator before the reunification with Redmond and Blutarch in hell as the RGB that constantly haunts said administrator and messes with Gray's ghost. /j
Hey man. Great video. Each of TF2 playable characters just like their Meet videos are iconic characters in the gaming industry. Consider making a video about each of the 9 classes. I know I'd watch it.
@@jhonnoilcringeincarnato8593looking back this, all of the Mann family (with the exception of Olivia) is an idiot to some extent. Zeph was an idiot for not seeing the potential in his third son, Redmond and Blutarch can’t collaborate to save their own lives, and while Gray is the Smartest for designing fully operational robots powered by Money, but why would anyone want to use an army of Robots powered by Money. Gray could’ve easily won against Saxon if he decided to not pay his opponent’s by sending waves of Robots powered by Money.
@@ironicweeb4111 not to mention that grey could have returned to his family and zeph would have given him the company anyway since its mentioned in the comics how he lamented the loss of his third son gray and even regrets having attempted to kill him
@@jhonnoilcringeincarnato8593 I still can’t get over how dumb the idea of Robots powered by Money, and how that idea canonically almost bankrupt Gray Mann (no joke they made a comic about it)
The beauty of the Mann Civil War is that Gray won. His daughter and heir is the CEO and heiress to whatever is left. And Redmond and Blutarch are to busy fighting in the afterlife to even realize this
I’m used to you talking about the dark and gritty story of Half-Life so hearing you talk about the goofy ass story that is Team Fortress 2 is pretty interesting
The Alamo wasn’t a Spanish fortress but a Mission, a Mission was a Spanish Catholic encampment designed to keep natives and convert them to Christianity. But was later used as a makeshift fort by the Texans. (Fortresses don’t leave a wall missing, the Alamo did)
24:20-24:25 "I play as the Engineer, and my greatest enemy is the Spy", LOL I'm the opposite, my greatest enemy is the Engineer and my favorite class is the same as Gaben.
0:23 you forgot the most important question -- How long can Skyrionn talk about something this ridiculous and keep a straight face? :D You made it through this one but you say you're gonna do more... I think we'll hear you cracking up before the end of the third :) And... hang on... a bunch of people from the past in the UK, fighting an endless series of epic and vaguely futuristic battles in a bunch of empty gravel quarries? This is starting to sound a little bit familiar....
Oh I was smiling the whole way through! It was the weirdest story I have ever covered. I'm gonna look at other interesting topics within this series to cover too.

The ONLY other time we see characters with amber pupils is when they've overdosed on Australium, and that feels TOO deliberate.
Did Grey Mann genetically modify Olivia with Australium, perhaps? He mentioned he had far greater plans for the Australium than immortality... maybe Olivia was the prototype for these "greater plans?"
Maybe grey banged his wife while having the Australiam device
So it's just in genes of his children
Maybe Olivia is a Robot more advanced than the Robot mercs
She's so cute and creepy looking at the same time.
writers gave her a bit of australium, as a treat.
Nah, she's just a kid
love the contrast between half lifes lore and tf2s lore.
here's a world where a horrific accident causes otherworldly beings to enslave humanity under the worst oppression they've ever known.
now here's a world where two idiot brothers fight over gravel and gold that gives you super powers and a mustache!
Valve did well to create a sillier story than Portal
How long would the TF2 mercenaries last fighting the combine tbh
I headcanon black mesa and aperture to exist in the tf2 universe but they had different stories
😊😊😊😊
@@PoopenfardenWell as long as the respawn machine exists they can keep sending bodies

Garry: "
Hope we see the full stories of the tf2 characters like scout, heavy, and pyro
I'll do my best to get there
pyro definitely took so much acid that he fried his brain, and now all he can see is pyrovision
Well now you have it
The gravel War with a genius storytelling up under estimating The worth of gravel
Silly Mann people
They didn't underestimate gravel, the brothers thought useless sand was gravel, causing Zephaniah to have a bruh moment so big that he died
The gravel no matter how small have some bits of metal in it and America was capitalizing infrastructure and Roads and other materials gravel is the basics
@@jamesfriesen4203 your point? They didn't get gravel and Zephaniah knew it, Redmond and blutarch thought sand was gravel
@@mr.monkey354 so sanh Contra be turn into glass to make Windows for buildings
Thank you for presenting the very grounded and realistic lore of Team Fortress Two as seriously as possible
I was still smiling the whole way through
the TF2 lore is insanely good for a game that is based entirely on "haha shoot the [OPPOSITE COLOR] merc and do the objective"
Wait, Helen (the administrator) is the child of Elizabeth (Maan's nursemaid)?

@@SkyrionnI’m tempted to call bullsh*t on that, but I’m too lazy to fact check right now.
Could be that Helen *is* Elizabeth's child and both are in the plan together
She is, he asked radigan to build another life extender machine for redmon too, BUT to also build a third machine, which is safe to asume was for herself

Thank you for covering the most epic tale of all human history.
It really was a tale

Wow, thank you! That's super kind of you to say. Just 500 to go and that's a huge milestone.

At least Valve actually fleshed out TF2 lore unlike blizzard who barely mentions much about the omnic crisis.
lookin forward to more tf2 vids from ya, loved the complete half life timeline so damn much
It's my favourite video I've made.
I'll likely make a Team Fortress timeline too
Wow. Just as I expected, even better. Words cannot express how happy I'm right now. Good job!
There's so much more to come too!
I like the idea of Olivia being the last mann standing.
Keep it up! Looking forward to more TF2 lore!
Thanks, will do! There are so many odd topics to cover too!
The knife that graymon used to kill his brothers with looks like the big earner which is fitting if I'm being honest
I love the lore they created for TF2. It is entertaining while remaining suitably ridiculous.
So your telling me, my boss is a child?
Man even I’m not dumb enough to think that’s fake.
You could say Olivia is the last mann standing
i'd be really interested in seeing lore videos based on Left 4 Dead 1 and 2
Oh I already have a few topics on the list for L4D :D
@@Skyrionn Awesome!
Love to see you expanding into other games
Just trying to keep up with all of the games I want to cover!
You know what I would kinda like to see a multi-verse of TF2
It would be awesome and funny at the same time
Like for example one universe where their genders are all switched?
@@GetLoYo That sounds very interesting
@@GetLoYoPyro would be exactly the same.
Imagine the mercenaries of canon TF2 meeting the characters in Emesis Blue.
I honestly never knew this game had some kind of semiserious story behind it.
It's the wildest tale

This is just a tiny part of the story too. I'll be covering more. Thanks for watching!

Damn even Team Fortress ended on a cliffhanger
Classic Valve.
NOT ANYMORE
Hell yes! You are expanding!
Yeah we are! Team Fortress has an amazing story. I am also looking at other Valve games too!
Comic N°7 is out! Putting an end to the story!
Hey man. Great video. Each of TF2 playable characters just like their Meet videos are iconic characters in the gaming industry.
Consider making a video about each of the 9 classes. I know I'd watch it.
I love how dark and serious the beginning was
I will teach this story as English literature in schools
All of that was ridiculous.
I Wonder If the Classics and Moderns will Team up to defeat the administrator
We can only hope to find out in a future comic
@@Skyrionn it'll be released the Same day HL2:Ch3 comes Out, i'm sure
Someone should make a game about
The Ancient Mercs
Like come on
*WOOOOOO! YEEEEAAAHHH, BABYYYY!*
*THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR, THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT!*
You could say that Olivia was the last Mann standing
love this
Can we get a short video about the Hale family? It's not as extensive but a short fun video about them would be neat.
The Hale family is on the list of things to cover ☺
Been looking forward to this since the poll, also amazing timing with a major update confirmed this year
Perfect timing really. I'll absolutely be making more too.
Graymann is so ungrateful! That eagle raised him and loved him and he ate her and her chicks!
19:50 Not even Skyrionn can handle this
It was a tough read tbh
What a coincidence. I just started playing team fortress 2 again recently
Perfect timing.
as someone who can’t play this game or any of the games you’ve covered, i really appreciate these videos, thank you!
I'm happy to help. There's so much more to come too!
Tf2's lore is a crackfic of itself and I'm here for it
It's absolutely nuts
Your voice is so calming.
Thanks! I hear it quite often
Finally a tf2 lore video !!!!
I want more now.
It took a while to get there. There's more to come too :D
Honestly I would say their father made a foolish decision on not making gray man the head of the company.🐱
He was clearly the smartest
To be fair tho he was kidnapped by eagles shortly after he was born

It took a while but finally got there!
@@Skyrionn good job dude
Mann, this game’s lore is nuts.
"I play as the engineer and my greatest enemy is the spy"
same brother. same.
Congratulations on 100k you def deserve it with these types of videos

His daughter and heir is the CEO and heiress to whatever is left.
And Redmond and Blutarch are to busy fighting in the afterlife to even realize this
Good timing update announced few days ago
Indeed! Perfect timing really.
Silas mann did one interesting thing before dying, and I respect him for it.
Team Fortress gameplay: haha funny Soldier dumb he go rocket jump (rest in peace Rick May)
Team Fortress lore:
I mean seriously it’s just like this
eeyyy was just thinking the other day how cool it would be if you did TF2 lore! Awesome!
Happy to help
3:40
You could fucking hear him get giddy as he got ready for that transition
It was the beat one yet
i never knew how much i wanted tf2 content until i got it. TY!
Oh you've seen nothing yet!
I’m used to you talking about the dark and gritty story of Half-Life so hearing you talk about the goofy ass story that is Team Fortress 2 is pretty interesting
It was definitely different. I really enjoyed this one
that transition was criminal 💀
You should make a video regarding what Helen's ultimate goal is.
Wish we'd finally get some kind of conclusion to this game's story.
I love everything about TF2 but Olivia Mann is my favorite
I plan to thoroughly enjoy listening to this as I polish rods on a lathe
Happy to help!
Emesis blue changes a lot of this though at least for the respawn machine
Emesis Blue isn't Canon though
as multi-class main in TF2 our paranoid of spies is normal.
I'm an engie main and I'm pretty sure I've developed a spy sense
also is that chair a spy?
how are you so underrated
We're doing okay the algorithm changes it up every now and then
after thinking of Olivia, how the hell did neither Red nor Blu think of having children so THEIR bloodline can outlive the other?
Grey is smarter than both
Both are smooth brained
As simple as that
They actually did, but Grey killed them both before they could.
Had me completely interested! Great commentary
Thanks!

Me seeing a horse gazing upon the horizon of the dawning sun:
"Mann"
Honestly I'm not gonna use hello fresh but I will likely look up the recipes shown in the ad. Looks interesting and delicious.
He did it! He made a video on the funny game's lore!
Bro gave us a food advertisement when we literally heard gray man had ate the eagle and her babies 💀💀
Bird : save and nurse child
Child : hmmm chikn nugit
