Thus, when the Ringer is up and his thumb is resting on the button, a stray bullet causes him to flinch, activating the cloak and corpse. The Spy doesn't press it when he needs to, it instead is triggered when he is injured, as muscles contract as a response to pain. His thumb is poised on a button, and this is what activates the cloak and corpse. This image shows exactly how the Spy holds the Ringer, notice the thumb. This was until I realised what the Spy actually does when he holds out the watch. A little Fridge thought about the Dead Ringer I always wondered why the action of holding a pocket-watch out to your left allowed the Spy to be ready to drop a fake corpse and cloak, and what made it so when the watch is down, the cloak and corpse are not activated whenever you take damage.Perhaps the apparent contradiction in the naming can be explained as a sort of Paper-Thin Disguise. Well, canonically, both Teams are simply front corporations for intelligence agencies.and if everyone else on the planet is even a tenth as psychotic as all of the main characters, it's obvious something needs to be changed. The RED team could be the force of chaos and change, and the BLU team, whether they have good intent behind it or not, wants to keep the world the way it is. from what little the game seems to reveal about the world of Team Fortress 2, it seems like it's mainly the Cold War, with the sheer insanity factor turned up to eleven. I just had my own Fridge Brilliance moment after taking the "construction vs destruction" idea into account, and wondering why the videos make the RED team seem like the good guys. Because they're RED team propaganda videos.I say, Valve's cinema team thinks the RED uniforms look better. That's true, even in the Spy video where BLU team members have almost all the lines and are the viewpoint characters, it's the RED Spy hidden in their midst that is the protagonist of the video. ![]() So what does that mean when you consider that the "Meet the Team" movies always portray the RED team members as the heroes?.It's also loads of fun when you manage to link the whole Red/Blue teams with the Cold War setting.Still, they're compromising everything they stand for to destroy an eerily familiar enemy, which means that I've missed the obvious answer all this time: they're not so. They only destroy to prevent more destruction. In Dustbowl, for example, BLU is attempting to destroy RED's missile. Every time BLU is making it a push, they're after a specific target. I asked, "WHY does BLU destroy, and WHY does RED protect?" I toyed with the obvious "BLU hates RED for smashing their stuff," but that didn't seem too right. You know, trying to justify this, I just had a moment of discovering Fridge Brilliance.You'd think it'd be the other way around. Maybe someone can explain why, then, Reliable Excavation Demolitions (RED) is always on defense in linear point control maps and why Builder's League United (BLU) is always on offense.A construction company (BLU) and a demolition company (RED) hire mercenaries to kill each other, showing that industrialization can only lead to the destruction of traditional ideals and oh no I've gone cross-eyed. It is the classic struggle of creation versus destruction. Team Fortress 2 is, upon further examination, very deep.This is not a place for personal commentary on another's remark or arguing without adding a Fridge comment of your own. In fact, it usually isn't, and the viewer might be putting more thought into it than the creator ever did. ![]() This revelation can come from anywhere, even from this very page.Ī Fridge does not have to be Word of God. ![]() If you start off with " This Troper", really, you have no excuse. This is a personal moment for the viewer, so every example is signed by the contributor.
