![]() ![]() 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. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.This is a personal moment for the viewer, so every example is signed by the contributor. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. ![]() All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. ![]() All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted.Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so.
