The Red, the Blu, and the Ugly (2022 Edit) [SFM] 

It's been over a year since the original release, I thought I'd try to make another RU-vid friendly edit so everyone can continue to watch and enjoy this video. I am still immensely proud of this one and I'd hate for anyone to miss out on watching it. If you enjoyed the video, please continue to show your support by liking and commenting. Love you all

All I’m saying is, pyro didn’t deserve to go down like that, especially after that amazing speech given by scout to them.

Love how when soldier said “somewhere your father is weeping”, spy just chuckled nervously

Love how the heavy get his own villain backstory just to be shoot by soldier. Also I like when soldier say somewhere your father is weeping spy laughs because he is scouts dad

15:57 “Oh Hello. I cherish these moments we spend together.” This hits so hard. We miss you Rick.

A quick reminder that these models, capable of being animated this well, were produced in 2007.

I love that Scout’s plan is perfectly tuned, but to all the wrong people.

I like how in the truck the Blu Spy has a bunch of shotguns and flare guns but he decides to just use his knife instead.

20:41 it is amazing how Soldier got the perfect headshot on the robot scout

I love the fact that scouts plan is having everyone do the opposite to what they’re good at. For example having spy kick down doors and use double lmgs as a stealth character etc

Spy laughing after Soldier says "Somewhere your father is weeping because of you" to scout kills me everytime

Action packed, good story, amazing humor, and impressive! Winglet does not disappoint.

This made me wheeze- LOL 13:40 I did not expect him to fly through the windshield and flop like that- This is amazing!

I love the evolution of the winglets animations, they have improved so much over the past decade

This entire series is almost perfectly in-character with the actual canon and lore. Even Scout’s batshit insane power fantasy of a plan sounds like something he would actually come up with. Also, it’s really impressive how the Winglet managed to put together several voice lines that were made 14 years ago to make a coherent, in-character masterpiece, with character arcs, plotholes, and an actual story. TL;DR: the series is almost perfectly in character, scout’s plan sound like something he would do, and story is also good.

Love how over time we see the teams friendships develop, like how Soldier is now always excited to see Spy :]

This is awesome! Also, I love the “The Shining” reference with pyro using the axe and spy even doing the same movements as the girl and pyro even muffling “Here’s Johnny!”

Winglet's Red Scout is like the champion of Scouts everywhere. He's nice, he's encouraging, he's self-sacrafcing, he's got a good sense of humor, he has faith in his teammates, and he actually has the skill to back up his ego. An ego that rarely comes into play because he has such good friends. This is the Chad Scout all Scouts should aspire to be.

I felt sorry for Pyro when Scout threw rocks at him and when he drowned, and for Demoman. These guys was a good part of this film, Winglet is greatest author I ever saw.

Thank you for being the only one who still makes cinematic SFM over a 1 minute long.

One Year Later And This Is Still One The The Best SFM Animations I've Ever Seen Can't Wait For The Next Part

In the age where we can make the characters say whatever we want, it's easy to forget how great you can make the story with the stock voice lines.

I just love how Pyro is the actual Kenny from TF2. Nobody understands a thing when he speaks, but he's still trying his best.

i cant even find words to describe how much i love this!! i cannot imagine finding a coherent way to put all of their old voicelines together like this, and the fluidity of movement and the fighting is so fun! i can see there's a lot of movie references in this too, which is always a fun little easter egg. AUHGH i could shout about this forever, definitely going to rewatch this one a couple of times!!

15:12 Spy look so happy and excited lol

Winglet gets a lot of praise for his animations, and rightly so, but can we please take a moment to appreciate the use of actual TF2 voice lines? Finding the perfect line for a situation must be difficult, and uberduck created an easy mode for sentence mixing that just never sounds as good. Kudos to Winglet for not taking that shortcut, and even getting a legit voice actor to deliver Valve quality written lines as Gray Mann.

The fact that The Winglet manages to put the demo man with a party hat in almost every SFM he makes is crazy

Blue❎ red☑️

Spy fanning his revolver at 21:43 was so cool and still in character.

After seeing some of Lazypurple's stuff on SFM i am absolutely astounded how you can tolerate such a program to produce masterpieces every single time.

Got to love how they were all characterised, this feels like a short film based off of TF2 and I would gladly pay to see anything this good in a cinema theatre. From animation, character posture, the use of the voice lines and music. I would expect nothing less than some kind of award were this a genuine piece of cinema. The underlying humour only improves the piece. Grey Mann makes an excellent villain, even though he doesn't actually do very much himself.

5:59 that blue demos gotta be the most unluckiest guy in the world 💀

Damn, I'm rewatching this film sometime, this is perfect! You did a great job, it's very inspiring!

16:31 I just realized these BLU mercs are all from "The Art of Spychecking". It's those little easter eggs/connections that really make me enjoy rewatching these SFMs(outside of the Stellar animation of course).

5:53 bro surpassed the 8 stickies limit 💀💀💀

I saw this when it came out over a year ago, but thought I'd comment on it now that I'm rewatching it. This is easily one of the best pieces of animation I've seen, just the opening chase sequence alone is without a doubt one of the best action chase scenes I've seen in a piece of media. Keep up the spectacular work, Winglet! I may not play TF2, but I LOVE your animations!

This makes me excited for the 5th instalment. I cannot wait to see Gray Mann and his army of robots in their fullest glory.

It's refreshing to know that people will always make their own fan films using SFM, and TF2 will never truly die. Always a pleasure to watch! Rock on, you legend, Winglet!

god i love this thing looking forward for a continue

This is why skills is important improvement and hard working ❤ I can't stop watching this video i like all the sence hopefully The Winglet will continue this series 😍

Changes I noticed compared to the old one: >Starting Scene >Blue Soldier doesn't get decapitated at 2:29 >Blue Spy doesn't get decapitated in the memory scene at 3:54 >It's not Red Demos arm that lies on the ground at 6:45 >Torturing scene got cut down further >Red Soldier doesn't shoot the body of the blue scout so often at 20:32 >Small changes or adds of some voicelines and sounds

Still one of, if not the best SFM ever. The plot, the visuals, and ESPECIALLY the action is just beautiful. Honestly, you're much too good for just RU-vid!

Bro this is so Amazing Your Skills are on top This is like an movive

I can’t wait for the next installment, I loved the pyro in space video and the bolted behemoth saga is amazing!

This man can blend comedy with seriousness and action so well it's on valves own level. It's been what 7 or 8 years since live and let spy and these animations are still masterpieces with great references etc. etc. Well done

The fact that Winglet puts the time and effort into re-amimating and re-rendering some scenes instead of just removing everything deserved a ton of respect, unfortunately the RU-vid devs don't see it that way.

Red team lore: 🥖bread🍞 Blu team lore: *it’s eternity in there*

Amazing how it links up with the story from Burning Through Space! One of my most favorite SFM's of all time, good to see a call back to it!

23:08 The Soldier using both the Equalizer and Escape Plan was a pretty nice touch. It gave Soldier a speed boost and damage bonus. (Not to mention that the Equalizer and Escape Plan was just one weapon before Valve split it in two.)

This is the closest we’ll ever get to the TF2 Adult Swim show we were supposed to get. Incredible. ❤️

I’m so excited for a sequel

I love how all your animations combine. Pyro In Space is an amazing comeback for this

You’ll never know why i got this many likes and comments.

this installment alone never fails to make me grin like an idiot for the whole runtime. seeing such craftsmanship feels like something you'd only see if you paid a fortune or if you resided in utopia. but here i am, on my couch and seeing this masterpiece for free. thank you, winglet, for ensuring everyone can still see it, and thank you for everything you've done and continue to do :)

I've only just found out about this series AND MAN I WANT MORE

The animation is absolutely amazing and so smooth

The production quality, sound mixing, voice mixing, and effort all put into this honestly makes this look like a honest to god official installment by Value themselves, fantastic as hell!

I absolutely love how he casually includes the weapon effects. Like how you always need to shoot a person at least twice with the ambassador to kill or the equalizer when soldier gets injured.

I have seen a ton of animations in the 10 years ive been alive..., This has to be the best, and there is no changing that.

I never noticed the reference to meet the sniper at 9:57 before! I love all the little things you do

23:58 I just noticed how detailed soldiers landing was, Repositioning his hands like people would do in real life, Great job Winglet!

Here are some of the differences I found. The blood around Sniper’s corpse on the wall at the beginning is toned down. Most of the dead bodies have little to no blood around them. The axe stuck in one Sniper who was hanging out the window was also removed. When Scout throws the gulliotine. Original: Soldier gets decapitated and blood sprays everywhere. First Edit: Soldier gets decapitated but only a little blood. Current: Soldier does not get decapitated In the flashback where Soldier decapitates Spy with equalizer is the same in the first two but in this new edit, Spy’s head remains on his body. When Heavy holds the dead Spy, obviously the head is still there here as well. When party hat Demo is run over by a car there is no blood in this version The part where the team find Demo’s arm is replaced with them only finding a bloody sticky launcher The torture scene is completely cut out. You only hear a gunshot and Soldier says “You should’ve talked.” The second version had a different line. When Soldier shoots Sniper instead of his head exploding, there is just a bit of blood and he dies. His head remains in tact. This appears to be the same from the second version. There is way less blood when Scout goes through the window The part where Soldier shoots Scout’s corpse is replaced with him shooting Scout twice where he kills scout instead of Scout already being dead and getting his arm shot off. (This was also in the second version.) I personally don’t believe any of these three should have been age restricted, but whatever.

21:27 reference form predator

I love how Spy cheking his camera and results he dining with Scout's mother and Winglet's 2Fort playing scnes.

The fact Blu Heavy just said "uh oh" before dying a horrible death is amazing.

I love how B.Heavy's first instinct is to shield B.Medic and B.Engie. Really shows that none of these characters are one-dimensional.

Keep up the great work Winglet

This was fucking awesome nice work m8!

As much as I liked Live and Let Spy's inclusion of the entire team I love how well Scout, Spy, and Soldier (rip pyro and demo) work off of each other in this one

I put off watching this until now, and I've got to say this is unironically a cinematic masterpiece, combining engaging action, genuinely-funny humour and amazing animation!

9:00 scout’s mom💀

This is just genuinely good

20:21 don't mind me just keeping this timestamp here so that i can keep looking back at this gorgeous just absolutely god tier animation of spy reeling back to shoot behind him. like the way his arm swings around so that his body can follow that momentum of his arm swing. and the way he reloads is insane and like ugh i just cant get over how smooth and lively it looks

I'm at a loss for words. This is like Valve quality animation. Maybe even better. This is great. 10/10.

This needs to be put in theaters, this is absolutely amazing

This is the best BEST BEST I EVER WWTCHED A SHORT FILM DAMN

“Never forget, human grit always beats robot magic” Words to live by.

_"You fight like a fat man."_ said before cutting to the fat man fighting. Absolutely love this video, the effort that went into it looks absolutely amazing!! Can't wait for the next part because things are already looking incredible :D

21:52 "You fight like a fat man!" *switches to heavy* this detail just intrigues me so much

funny I was watching a utuber react to this video today and noticed the demoman's severed arm being replaced with his gun. I was like 'thats not what happened". I had to look it up to make sure. Glad to hear you edited it and I wasnt miss remembering:)

Love how he's merging two of his greatest TF2 teams. Can't wait to see this crossover

Has it already been a year?! That’s crazy! Still the coolest series on RU-vid!

We need another part mate. Great work

This is wonderful

That reference with Pyro was already funny, but the Spy's naturally hilarious screams make it even better

the ending was better than any marvel post credit scene in history

An absolute masterpiece! 😮🎉

That was very amazing bro.

It's absolutely ridiculous that Winglet is creating such insanely good TF2 content in 2022. Valve has let the game die to bots and hackers and just general neglect, but Winglet's SFMs are not only absurdly high quality but they're genuinely entertaining and enjoyable on top of that. God I can't wait for more.

4:56 Here's PYRO!!!

Im just waiting for the next part This one is amazing

I absolutely love the fact that the episode burning through space team has united with this team

This is the best SFM I have ever seen. Is there a sequel to this? I want more.

Feels like an alternate reality where valve was actually able to cooperate with adult swim in making that Team Fortress original series. Great work!

These movies are just so good, 100% i like them so much, frfr i like how this one is like.

@the_winglet, i love your animation, its so fresh and epic, even the names of animations are referencable, you could make more content like this where they fight robots with their team and then they fight graymann. youre an epic content creator, have good time, i cant wait to see new animations.

Pure talent

Changes I noticed in this edit compared to the directors cut (that I noticed, I might be missing some, idk): 2:24 Instead of the blu soldier getting beheaded, he instead just drops his gun 3:52 The blu spy doesn't get beheaded (also seen when the blu heavy holds his corpse), and his body doesn't move as much after being hit 6:42 Perhaps most noticeably, the red demoman's severed arm has been replaced with his stickybomb launcher, as such the gag of the red soldier using the hand as a finger gun is removed 7:08 The interrogation of the blu scout by the red soldier is cut down, and any acts of violence (punches, pouring gasoline on scout, and the gunshot being visible) are removed 8:21 The blu sniper is still shot, but his head no longer explodes Overall, things like beheading or heads exploding have been removed, as well as some scenes where violence/gore is focused on. There may be some minor changes, such as less blood, but I didn't really feel like comparing every single time a person bleeds. Feel free to add more if you noticed some I missed. Its a shame that an edit even needs to be made, and it's very irritating that RU-vid has basically blocked the other two versions, but at least we can finally watch and enjoy this masterpiece without having to rely on reuploads. Wish RU-vid would let people watch the other videos too though :/ Regardless, can't wait to see what else The Winglet creates, whether it's part of this storyline or not, definitely one of my favourite TF2 SFM animators!

Spy actually took the Big Earner that was stuck in the vehicle. Nice detail that I didn't notice until a year afterwards.

16:19 red soldier:this is bravo barble 1 reporting for duty robot soldier: roger that
