Talk:Meet the Pyro

This page is for discussion regarding the article itself. Speculation on items or possible meanings behind the video should be directed to the Steam Users' Forums. Thank you. - Epic Eric

Engineer

The engineer in the ending "class photo" (WHen the ending flourish scene plays) has a different facial expression than in "Meet the Engineer". Maybe include in Trivia? Sarcasm 18:19, 30 June 2012 (PDT)

I'm pretty sure that near the end before they show the source filmmaker symbot, you can hear the pyro whistling in a masculine tone. Is this enough to say he's a man now? --Crawfish 11:58, 27 June 2012 (PDT)

Wow i think that was a music :D

Meet the Pyro's released. Fieryrage(e) 11:31, 27 June 2012 (PDT)

So, a bit of speculation but I'm pretty sure the setting of Meet the Pyro will be Downtown Teufort. What do you guys think? 19:44, 26 June 2012 (PDT) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUhOnX8qt3I --TheUniverse 11:05, 27 June 2012 (PDT)

At 2:13, it looks like the same architectural style. Xyphink 11:38, 27 June 2012 (PDT)

I heard a theory that it was set Coaltown after the MvM trailer. Is BLU team unplayable in MvM because the Pyro killed them all? --ForTheOne 14:38, 28 August 2012 (PDT)

Plot aside, it does look like the video took place on some version of Coaltown, seeing as we've (surprisingly) never gotten an "Old West Town" styled map before. Maybe it's one of those early cameos that Valve commonly puts in the "Meet The.." series, like the Jarate/Razorback in Meet the Sniper, or Hats in Meet The Spy? I'm gonna shoot Valve an e-mail over whether that's the case, and report back if I get an answer. --Wellgolly 12:24, 5 September 2012 (PDT)

Sergeant Plushie (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=9975) spotted at 1:02-1:03 into the video, on the extreme right. Just noting it. Cronie 11:45, 27 June 2012 (PDT)

I think that's just a soldier themed scarecrow. Reconciliation- • Talk 13:29, 27 June 2012 (PDT)

Has anyone noticed...

...at 0:28 Scout says "He is not here is She?" Eutrophic 13:08, 27 June 2012 (PDT)

Yes. -Asplode 14:10, 27 June 2012 (PDT)

They do that while referring to pyro in official valve posts, alternating between he and she - Wolfbane5001 15:41, 27 June 2012 (PDT)

But should that be added to the transcript? It still shows 'He's not here, is he?' YPchicken 18:28, 27 June 2012 (PDT)

I think we sorta hear "she" only because of the "is" and "he" words being said right after the other. The youtube subtitles were probably just a joke from Valve. LeHarfang 02:01, 28 June 2012 (PDT)

The german official subtitles say "Sie ist nicht in diesem Raum, oder?". "Sie" is the german word for "she". I don't think it was a mistake, because the german word for "he" is "er" and noone would make such a misspelling! TheGLaDOS 15:36, 28 June 2012 (PDT)

Whose glasses are those he steps on at the beginning? Cranberry Jerk 16:37, 27 June 2012 (PDT)

All of the Blu Team's corpses, but...

At the end of the video, as the Pyro walks away from the devastation he caused, we got a truck out of almost all the Blu member's corpses (8~/9 classes). In order of appearance: Soldier, Engineer, Demoman, Sniper (His Hand?), Heavy, Scout, and the Spy (Feet?). And we see the Medic burned in the shed.

How they died:

• BLU Soldier: Impaled by flying debris (Engineer's exploded sentry) [1:48]
• BLU Engineer: Flung up in air by explosion [1:48], presumed burned to death in fetal position. [2:12]
• BLU Demoman: "I'm Burnin!" [1:48]
• BLU Sniper: Burned to death [1:55]
• BLU Heavy: Axe to the head [1:16]
• BLU Scout: Shot by Scorch Shot [1:23], seen running while in flames [1:49], burned to death
• BLU Spy: ???
• BLU Medic: Burned in shed
• BLU Pyro: ???

Was there any instances of the BLU Pyro? Or correct me if any of my facts are incorrect (as they may possibly be).

Two Pyros at same place would be a paradox. -Asplode 14:10, 27 June 2012 (PDT)

The entire point of the meet the teams is not to show the class it is about as the "Enemy". Meet the Spy was a necessity and an excellent, well used choice. All other possible appearances (Meet the Heavy, Soldier and Demo) are just as passerbys getting slaughtered by the main character. Another reason for them to avoid wanting an enemy pyro in the video is the fact that the Pyro's weakness, is a different Pyro! Feam 17:01, 27 June 2012 (PDT)

Feam makes a good point. They wouldn't show a BLU Pyro for many reasons. A few of those are that the Meet the Team videos don't really show the main character's BLU counterpart and also because the Pyro is fireproof, thus it wouldn't make for a good video. The entertainment (in the Non-Pyroland parts of the video) is in watching BLU members die helplessly at the hands of a single RED team member. Trying to kill a BLU Pyro would just take too long and it would ruin the whole idea that this video-and all other Meet the Team videos-give: The main character is an unstoppable and essential member of their team. Wow, that was more long-winded than I thought. :P Nintos 15:57, 2 July 2012 (PDT)

"He's not here, is she?"

In 0:27, that's how it's written in transcript (it was added to the video). A misspelling? Probably. Xeoxer 14:02, 27 June 2012 (PDT)

• They also messed up with the code of subtitles file (numbers in transcript, instead of being in the code...) so 75% a mistake. Xeoxer 14:06, 27 June 2012 (PDT)

Pyro's gender is unknown. There have been "he" and "she" referrings to Pyro. It's probably not a misspell. Also, number on transcript might mean something, like seen in ARG. -Asplode 14:10, 27 June 2012 (PDT)

Numbers in Captions

I was watching the video with captions and noticed some odd numbers, figured I would record them in case someone has some idea what they mean.

• @0:58 "How the music can free her whenever it starts. 00:01:02.500,00:01:05.110 And it's magic, if the music is groovy."
• @1:16 "If you believe in magic... 00:01.17.883,00:01.19.425 don't bother to choose. 00.01.19.450,00:01.23.383"
• @1:17 "If it's jug band music or rhythm and blues. 00:01.23.500,00:01.24.850 [Scout screams!]"

Looking at it now, it looks like coding for the captions, but who knows. I also thought they looked similar to IP addresses. Joshduman 14:36, 27 June 2012 (PDT)

Was made aware of these before, and I'm pretty certain these are simply the Timing of the captioned lines. I think they already fixed that, too! Feam 17:07, 27 June 2012 (PDT)

This is probably how they made the note signs. --NeatNit 09:49, 28 June 2012 (PDT)

More notes?

Did anyone else notice that the video on adultswim's page? That is here http://www.adultswim.com/promos/valve/index.html . Spy's cigarette in that video isn't light up, while in the official one on teamfortress' channel is :) Fresh 15:40, 27 June 2012 (PDT)

Nice find. Kind of odd considering both videos are uploaded to the same channel. - nixshadow (t|c) 15:44, 27 June 2012 (PDT)

Yeah. The one on adultswim is unlisted [[1]] Fresh 16:20, 27 June 2012 (PDT)

Wow, really nice catch! I wonder what the point of doing that was (if there WAS a point).

Its because Adult Swim's Parent Company I believe Time Warner might not Support smoking and directed Adult Swim to exclude any smoking of Cigarettes from their promotions for TF2 Due to it being accessible by any users despite its age restriction.Seth Hunter 14:29, 31 July 2012 (PDT)

Has anyone noticed this?

Anybody? Well throughout the Meet the Pyro video if you look in the sky during scenes when it's "all sun shine and lolipops" there are symbols representing the female sex? Stop the video at about 55 seconds and look in the upper right hand corner. The symbol is flipped to the side and the symbols in a lighter blue color than the surrounding sky. It's visible through out the video if you look for it. Another note I would like to point out is the lyrics to the song, "Do you believe in magic, in a young girl's heart?" and the following line "How the music can free her, whenever it starts."

This is my first post on this site but I just wanted you all to take note. I thought it was quite interesting! :D

Female sex symbol floating in the air

A small easter egg during one of the Pyro-Perspective parts was spotted by someone, and a friend of mine showed it to me. http://puu.sh/EaNw Personally I don't want people to take these JOKES into serious consideration and freak out all over them, but as a nice joke and hidden secret made by Valve it should be respected within the wiki notes. People should just learn to chuckle and let things go...

Anyway, Feel free to check its authenticity since I am currently unable to give direct time / better picture. -Feam 17:15, 27 June 2012 (PDT)

EDIT: Wow, someone posted it minutes before me while I was writing. Feam 17:17, 27 June 2012 (PDT)

I need clarification for this...

Is the place where the Heavy, Scout, and Spy were interviewed in Counter-Strike's cs_office? If so, that would make a great note.

Sideways Flame?

Anyone notice that around 1:55 the blue flame coming out of the tip of the flamethrower is sideways? A real flame wouldn't do that. I'm new so I'm not sure if that matters enough to be put on the Meet the Pyro page. Let me know what you think! Nintos 15:22, 2 July 2012 (PDT)

EDIT: Just to clarify, I meant that flame goes up, never sideways, unless blown extremely hard by wind or something of that sort. Nintos 15:24, 2 July 2012 (PDT)

Soundtrack Links?

Can anyone put in a link to both soundtracks? I found the soundtrack page on the wiki, but I don't know how to make a hyperlink. GeneStealer 21:58, 14 July 2012 (PDT)

Mask note

...And I don't get it either. Why remove the note about the pyro's mask? Its not like its a pointless note. Yechnagoth 05:14, 17 July 2012 (PDT)

It has that since the first Beta... Hinaomi (talk) - (contributions) 05:28, 17 July 2012 (PDT)

Axtinguisher and Butterfly Knife

Is this noteworthy? At around 0:07 or so (the close up shot of the pyro walking) you can see the Spy's Butterfly Knife on the right, and also around 2:15 there is an Axtinguisher stuck in (what looks like to me anyway) a dead Heavy's arm. Also on Baloonicorn match case you can read the date "1956."
