Emesis Blue is a fully voice-acted Team Fortress 2 Surreal Psychological Horror Film Noir Machinima created by Fortress Films, more specifically by Chad Payne as writer and director, and Anton Pelizzari as producer. The feature-length Source Filmmaker video was released on February 20, 2023 on YouTube, and has since received critical acclaim by the game's fanbase for its dark reimagining of the usually-comedic source material.On Halloween Night of 1968, a high-ranking executive of the Builders League United Corporation mysteriously vanishes in Mortem, New Mexico. A private detective and a washed-up war veteran team up to find him, yet the man they hunt is more dangerous than they can possibly imagine.At the same time, the patient of a local doctor is abducted from his home, his mother having been brutally murdered by an unknown assailant. The doctor searches for him on his own, only to find himself caught up in a conspiracy that he may or may not be involved with.When their paths cross, terror and death ensue, brought about by a horror that challenges the sanity and true natures of the characters involved. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Emesis Blue (Web Animation) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: When compared to the wacky and over-the-top tone of the source material, the film is very much this. While some of TF2's humorous elements are retained, they are incredibly sparse and take a backseat to the horror elements. The colors tend to be muted and washed out, and the weather is persistently rainy and gloomy, creating a bleak and oppressive atmosphere. | |

Genre Shift | |
| Emesis Blue (Web Animation) / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: The first few chapters of Emesis Blue lean more towards being a traditional Film Noir mystery film that happens to be set in the Team Fortress universe. Once we get to Conagher Slaughterhouse however, the genre quickly and dramatically lurches towards being a pure horror film. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| Emesis Blue (Web Animation) / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: Almost nothing is explained about the supernatural events that take place during the video, or even if they were real or a drug-induced hallucination. By the end of the film, nothing is actually revealed about who or what the Undertaker is or where he came from. It's implied at various points that he's either a split personality of Ludwig's, another one of the Slaughterhouse mercenaries, or both. The RED Engineer, Dell Conagher, is implied to be a pivotal figure in the behind-the-scenes events of the film, but his role is never revealed. When Jane Doe comes across the room with his clones and sees a picture of Archibald executing one, it's left ambiguous if the Jane Doe in the picture was the original or just another clone. It's unknown whether Ludwig's third and final onscreen death will result in his Resurrective Immortality kicking in again, or if he has passed away for good. | |

The Tooth Hurts: Stuff just keeps happening with teeth in this movie. Jeremy has a dream of his teeth falling out, the hallucination in the Respawn Machine has Ludwig's teeth all broken and damaged, Ludwig's tooth falls out after he downs the Diazepam, and one of the final shots in the film is Ludwig with his teeth all gone. | |

Adapted Out | |
| Emesis Blue (Web Animation) / int_33d5b7f2 | comment |
Adapted Out: There's no mention of the Administrator, with Jules Archibald largely taking her place in the story as a third party who's intentionally prolonging the conflict for their own personal benefit. Similarly, there's no indication that Gray Mann exists despite the Mann Brothers showing up to Archibald's funeral. Other characters notably not present are Ms. Pauling (the Administrator's assistant and sort of Sixth Ranger to the nine mercs) and Saxton Hale (The CEO of Mann Co.). The former's absence comes with the territory of her boss's absence. The latter's absence can likely be chalked up to him being way too comedic a character to properly adapt into the gritty world of Emesis Blue. | |

To Hell and Back | |
| Emesis Blue (Web Animation) / int_3ff34221 | comment |
To Hell and Back: Chapter 6: Katabasis, appropriately, is focused entirely on this trope.note Katabasis is a Greek term referring to a story in which the protagonist embarks on a journey to the underworld. Soldier jumps into a bottomless pit of corpses in order to escape from Stalingrad, and finds himself trapped in a strange, nightmarish underworld filled with dead bodies, fire and brimstone, and distant screams. After battling Stalingrad, Soldier continues to fall further and further down this nightmarish pit, until he finally manages to find a ladder and climb back up to the surface. | |

Corrupt Politician | |
| Emesis Blue (Web Animation) / int_45cd286c | comment |
Jules Archibald is an unrepentant Corrupt Politician who aided the Manns in their Forever War by conducting horrible experiments on dozens of death row prisoners in order to perfect the Respawn Machine so they wouldn't have to hire new mercenaries and he discretely executes anyone that he has deemed a dissenter. With that sort of rap sheet, it's safe to say that no-one's crying when the Detective blows out his brains with a revolver near the end. | |

Downer Ending: Governor Archibald is dead, and so are Redmond and Blutarch Mann. With Scout and Cyclops dead, Jane Doe on the run for murdering Blutarch, the Detective shot in the head, and Ludwig seemingly killed in a car crash, all but two of the mercenaries (the other being Dell/RED Engineer, possibly) are dead. Just about the only good thing to come out of the ending is Ludwig finally reuniting with Scout again in the afterlife, and even that is ambiguous given Ludwig's Resurrective Immortality. | |

The Dragon | |
| Emesis Blue (Web Animation) / int_53f5119f | comment |
The Detective isn't any better, as he's The Dragon of Jules Archibald and when ordered to execute treasonous BLU mercs with the promise of a promotion, he feigns hesitation so that he can get something more than just a promotion. It gets worse when he ends up being immolated and covered head to toe in burn scars, at which point he completely sheds any pretense of caring about anyone other than himself by gunning down Archibald, forcing Jane and Ludwig to play Russian Roulette and trying to frame Ludwig for killing Jules. Needless to say, Ludwig coming back to life and repaying the Detective with a bullet to the head was earned. | |

Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Jane Doe is as much of a dunce as his canon self, but is very competent in combat and has excellent lateral thinking. An early example is when he accidentally listens in on police radio channels, then later uses them to help the Detective track down the hearse they are pursuing. | |

Dead Person Impersonation | |
| Emesis Blue (Web Animation) / int_6d7cd3e | comment |
Dead Person Impersonation: Combined with Decapitation Presentation. Scout's kidnappers kill his mom and impersonate her voice to lull him into a false sense of security, before holding her severed head to make it look like she's peeking at Scout from around the corner of the wall. Much later, Ludwig pulls this exact same trick on the Hunter with the Butcher's head. | |

Bullying a Dragon: The Creature attacks Stalingrad while the BLU mercs (and Cyclops) are in the elevator. The fact that the Creature pretty much disappears after that scene while Stalingrad is still alive does not leave many expectations about his survival. | |

Humanoid Abomination: The Undertaker might be one of these, if the scenes with him and Medic were actually real and not just hallucinations. The Slaughterhouse mercenaries (particularly the Creature and the Butcher), on the other hand, definitely fall under this trope. | |

Deconstructed Trope | |
| Emesis Blue (Web Animation) / int_8aa0f76 | comment |
Deconstructed Trope: Of Resurrective Immortality. Unlike in canon, where Death Is a Slap on the Wrist, and the mercs appear out of nowhere with no problems, Emesis Blue takes that and plays it seriously with horrifying results. In this universe, the Respawn Machine is the source of their pseudo-immortality. It recreates a person's body by resequencing their genomes, rebuilding their skeleton, and even threading new muscles before sticking their soul into their new body. It sounds great, right? Hell no. Like most machines, the Respawn Machine works ninety-nine percent of the time, but what about that little one percent where it doesn't? In Scout's (Jeremy's) case, BLU found him going through an unconscious seizure. During his post-recovery, he was left with lowered motor functions, intelligence, and schizophrenia and was diagnosed with brain atrophy. In the case of the Slaughterhouse Mercs, their bodies are malformed with horrible defects ranging from elongated fingers, pale skin, and rictus grins. Don't get us started on what happened to the Tenth Class. If that isn't bad enough, the arc words "It's eternity in there" and "It's longer than you think" imply the deceased have to wait for what seems like forever in the Respawn Machine until it actually revives them, so by the time they do get brought back, they're driven insane by the wait. Mercs like Jeremy and Ludwig were lucky enough to not remember the wait or avoid it entirely, but the Slaughterhouse Mercs didn't, which explains why most of them (except maybe Cyclops, who seems okay) went homicidal. So not only does someone risk being left with being severely debilitated or looking like a ghoul, but they might also go insane from having to wait for God knows how long until the Respawn Machine puts their soul in their new body. | |

Our Zombies Are Different | |
| Emesis Blue (Web Animation) / int_8ba9512b | comment |
Our Zombies Are Different: The Slaughterhouse mercenaries range anywhere from feral, disfigured abominations (The Creature) to being almost completely human except with an uncanny appearance (The Hunter). A spawn room in the upper floor of Conagher Slaughterhouse contains far more conventional zombies, as they take the appearance of the official Voodoo-Cursed Souls from Team Fortress 2, shamble around slowly, and shrug off injuries as long as their head is intact. | |

Asshole Victim | |
| Emesis Blue (Web Animation) / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: Jules Archibald is an unrepentant Corrupt Politician who aided the Manns in their Forever War by conducting horrible experiments on dozens of death row prisoners in order to perfect the Respawn Machine so they wouldn't have to hire new mercenaries and he discretely executes anyone that he has deemed a dissenter. With that sort of rap sheet, it's safe to say that no-one's crying when the Detective blows out his brains with a revolver near the end. The Detective isn't any better, as he's The Dragon of Jules Archibald and when ordered to execute treasonous BLU mercs with the promise of a promotion, he feigns hesitation so that he can get something more than just a promotion. It gets worse when he ends up being immolated and covered head to toe in burn scars, at which point he completely sheds any pretense of caring about anyone other than himself by gunning down Archibald, forcing Jane and Ludwig to play Russian Roulette and trying to frame Ludwig for killing Jules. Needless to say, Ludwig coming back to life and repaying the Detective with a bullet to the head was earned. | |

Rule of Symbolism | |
| Emesis Blue (Web Animation) / int_916c72b3 | comment |
Rule of Symbolism: The shot of Jeremy hearing the Butcher's whistling prominently features a chessboard, with a single blue pawn surrounded by red enemy pieces. It's foreshadowing just how hard the odds are stacked against Jeremy - even if he had stuck with Ludwig in the slaughterhouse, there's no guarantee that he'd stand a chance against any of the other monsters in there. Even if he managed to escape, he'd still have to worry about his condition eating away at his brain, or of The Detective trying to coerce his cooperation as he did with Jane Doe. No matter what choice he made, he would have lost the game. | |

Malevolent Masked Men: The Butcher and Stalingrad both wear sinister full-face masks. So does the Undertaker. After suffering horrific full-body burns, the Detective wears a mask with a built-in voice changer to conceal his injuries. | |

Tied Up on the Phone | |
| Emesis Blue (Web Animation) / int_e237e350 | comment |
Tied Up on the Phone: Ludwig uses a telephone's cord to strangle Maynard Conagher. This backfires on Ludwig though, because the cord is short enough that Maynard reaches for the telephone's base and bashes his head with it, freeing him from it. | |

Dying Dream | |
| Emesis Blue (Web Animation) / int_f792bc7b | comment |
Dying Dream: Cyclops wanders into a bar with Dell behind the counter, having mysteriously regained his missing eye and discusses the respawn machine with Dell. When we see him again, he's frozen to death in a cryogenics lab. Later, Medic stops at a bar owned by Dell Conagher, where he encounters the Conagher brothers, Archibald, and Scout, who are all supposedly dead. The scene then cuts to Medic's dead body in a car accident along the roadway. | |

Faking the Dead | |
| Emesis Blue (Web Animation) / int_f9876f7e | comment |
Faking the Dead: Dell claims to have done this, though considering the context and the enigmatic nature of his character, it's hard to say if he really did or if this is the mercs' way of coping with his death. | |

R-Rated Opening | |
| Emesis Blue (Web Animation) / int_f9ab4501 | comment |
R-Rated Opening: The beginning of the movie is an almost Analog Horror-like sequence of the Respawn Machine being tested on the Tenth Class, with more and more gruesome effects every time it is tested. | |

Bodybag Trick | |
| Emesis Blue (Web Animation) / int_fa068232 | comment |
Bodybag Trick: A variant: Ludwig actually did die in the interrogation room after the Detective forced him to play Russian Roulette. However, the Detective didn't count on Ludwig's Resurrective Immortality, as he later jumps out of the coffin at Archibald's funeral and shoots the Detective in the head in the middle of his speech. | |
