#I get it Soldier is the funny goofy haha guy but VALVE PLEASE THE OTHER MERCS EXIST

[some-pers0n]

Never forgiving Valve for giving Engineer the most in-depth and story-relevant backstory, having him be the grandfather of the creator of the life-extender machines, the son of the TFC Engineer, and establishing a key connection between the Conaghers and Elizabeth/Helen/Mann family, only to then relegate him to a supporting character, have him appear for only 10 pages in the main comics, and then never say or do anything

#sp-rambles #tf2 #tf2 engineer #I get it Soldier is the funny goofy haha guy but VALVE PLEASE THE OTHER MERCS EXIST #Literally Soldier is like the main character of these comics with how much he pops up and is relevant #Demo and Engie get shafted so much those guys deserved so much better #Heavy too #How many of those gags about Soldier being an idiot could've been spent on something related to Engie or Demo #Demo ain't even got his own comic his biggest break is in War! and he doesn't get some big iconic moment everyone likes #Justice for the Defense team I love them too much for them to be treated like this #Engie probably would've done *something* in comic 7 but let's be honest that thing's never coming out #Mostly pissed he's just oftentimes the straight-man supporting character in the comics and whatever #Loose Cannon was great I liked that bit with him being zapped by electricity and still treatening Blutarch #But othertimes he just???? Isn't really a character????? #Teething and biting at my enclosure as I continue to go back to writing fanfic about loosely defined characters
