Mercanary Chats Series

The Mercanary Chat Series is a series of 833time videos featuring the iconic Team Fortress 2 mercenaries chatting about certain interests. On 833time, they only talk & have fun chatting with each other, while on other channels, they get into arguements & start screaming & cussing at each other. However, because 833time does not allow vulgar language, the Mercenaries only chat nicely.

## Transcripts:

### Soldier & Demoman discuss a Lawsuit:

DEMOMAN: Hey, Soldier.

SOLDIER: Yeah, what's going on, Demoman?

DEMOMAN: I heard Scarlett Johansson was suing Disney.

SOLDIER: Yeah, I've heard that too. What's going on?

DEMOMAN: Well, she is the actress for Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe & her new movie, Black Widow, was released onto Disney+ while also arriving on cinema screens.

SOLDIER: & how does that revolve around her lawsuit?

DEMOMAN: Because the film was released onto Disney+ & in theaters at the same time. This meant that it would lower the millions of dollars that she would receive.

SOLDIER: Wow, OK, that's not even as insane since their merger with 20th Century Fox.

DEMOMAN: It's called 20th Century Studios now. But I'm just saying. Disney apologized to Scarlett and agreed to give her the money.

SOLDIER: Wait, what, Studios? Are you telling me there was a name change?

DEMOMAN: Yes. Disney renamed it to avoid association with Fox Corporation.

SOLDIER: That doesn't make any sense. That studio was formed from a merger during the Great Depression.

DEMOMAN: I get that, but Disney just wanted to make better profits that would help them save the studio. Apparently, somebody called Rupert Murdoch formed Fox News and other Fox properties. Each of them were named after the studio itself. There had been rumors that they would merge with Disney as well.

SOLDIER: Well, why didn't they?

DEMOMAN: I'm guessing Disney didn't want to buy it from Rupert Murdoch. However, they did purchase Fox Broadcasting Company.

SOLDIER: Hmm, I see. Still though, I don't blame Disney if they wanted to protect the studio. However, I'm kind of against rebranding.

DEMOMAN: Don't get me wrong, I've seen fans completely upset and enraged with Disney for the rebrand up to the point where they refuse to credit Disney for 20th's newer films; that's completely bogus.

SOLDIER: Refusal to credit an acquiring company doesn't sound like a good idea, at least to me.

DEMOMAN: Yeah. What fun is there in that? If you don't credit the company, you could get in some doo-doo.

SOLDIER: Oh, Demoman, you crack me up sometimes.

DEMOMAN: Thanks, you do too. Get this though, have you heard of a film called The Empty Man?

SOLDIER: Uh, is it like a horror film? I've always wondered why it sounds so familiar.

DEMOMAN: Well, here's the thing: the movie was released on October 23rd, 2020, but it was released under the 20th Century Fox brand by accident, as it was filmed back in 2018.

SOLDIER: Well, you know what they say, sometimes accidents can lead to great things.

DEMOMAN: You're telling me. Brings me back to the good o' days. Now back to Scarlett Johansson's lawsuit against Disney.

SOLDIER: OK, so, how did the conflict start?

DEMOMAN: Well, Disney owns Marvel Studios. They had an agreement that the film would be a theatrical film upon its release. This means that the film is only shown on cinema screens for a certain time. However, Disney blatantly violated the contract & snuck the film onto Disney+ while it came to theaters on the same day. Scarlett was not happy about that, so she took the legal side.

SOLDIER: Welp, I guess they had that coming.

DEMOMAN: Of course. The trial went on for a few months until Disney surrendered & apologized. They gave her the promised amount of cash. Black Widow received $60,000,00 on Disney+ but only 20,000,000 in theaters. That's why the lawsuit occurred.

SOLDIER: Hmm, makes sense. If I was an actor in the big films & the studio responsible pulled off that stuff, I'd do the same thing. Disney doesn't make the best decision sometimes.

DEMOMAN: But that doesn't make them perfect. No one is perfect. Everybody makes mistakes. I might not agree with everything Disney does, but I still respect them for their movies, nonetheless.

SOLDIER: Yeah, same. They make pretty good films.

DEMOMAN: Yeah, I agree. I had fun talking to you, Soldier. Take care.

SOLDIER: Yeah, you too, Demoman. I'll see you around. Stay frosty.

### The Mercenaries Discuss Their Favorite Movies:

SCOUT: Hey everyone. How are you guys going?

HEAVY: I'm doing great, Scout. It is good day to hang out.

MEDIC: Ja Vol, how about you, Scout?

SCOUT: I'm actually doing great. Just got done planning a movie date.

ENGINEER: Did I hear somebody say the word movie? Those are very entertaining.

SNIPER: Yeah, I really love movies during my time off.

HEAVY: Now that you mention it, do you have any favorite movies?

SNIPER: Huh, let's see, Murder On The Orient Express is very great. I love the mystery behind the murder. Sometimes, mystery movies really inspire me to solve crimes.

MEDIC: That's a good 1. I really like that 1 Ninja Turtles movie from 2007. I think it was called TMNT.

SCOUT: Whoa, Medic, are you talking about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Dude, I love those guys!

MEDIC: Indeed, I was. What makes this film very interesting is that it was the 1st film with the turtles to be all CGI animated. Not only that, but it's also the very 1st animated Ninja Turtles film.

SCOUT: Well, Cowabunga, dudes! So, who's your favorite turtle?

SOLDIER: If anyone asks, it's Leonardo. I love the way he remains valiant and courageous. He's also the 1st of his brothers. He's also always confident even when it comes to fighting Shredder.

ENGINEER: Yeah. Did you know, the turtles were all named after Renaissance Artists.

SCOUT: I never knew that. Thanks, Engineer.

ENGINEER: Of course, Scout. Anyway, 1 of my favorite films is Avengers: Endgame. I love the way it's put together. Very impressive story. No worries, I ain't spoiling anything.

SPY: Thanos very much had it coming. I love Disney's live-action remakes of their animated films. My favorite is Beauty & the Beast.

SOLDIER: My favorite is The Jungle Book. Ha, just kidding, Kaa really scared me very much! Ironic, since nothing had ever scared me before. I like Aladdin-- oh wait, there's a snake staff, isn't there?

SNIPER: While we're all on the topic of Disney remakes, I like Cinderella. I hope Disney builds a luxury cruise named after her.

HEAVY: Heavy likes Night At The Museum. It's such a very whacky way of learning history.

SOLDIER: Oh, that film! That 1 cracked me up so hard when I saw it in the theater.

ENGINEER: Speaking of history, Titanic has a lot of that in there. A lot of facts about the ship were included in there. I feel very terrible for all that died the night the ship sank.

SCOUT: Yeah, me too. I mean there wasn't very much to spoil since we all knew that she hit an iceberg, on her Maiden Voyage too!

MEDIC: Very interesting enough, Titanic was the 2nd of 3 Olympic-class ships owned by White Star Line. Each had 4 funnels, just the 4th was used for ventilation and looks.

SOLDIER: I always get mixed up whenever I see a ship with 4 funnels. I often mistake those ships for Titanic alone, but with different designs and styles.

SNIPER: I know, it's confusing.

ENGINEER: Anyways, the Medic's right. Each of these ships were built by Harland & Wolff in Belfast, Northern Ireland. White Star Line wanted to compete against Cunard's ships, Lusitania & Mauretania.

SCOUT: That's interesting. I really like that 1 movie, Die Hard. Total holiday classic.

SPY: Oh yeah, the 1 action movie to inspire ongoing action movies!

SOLDIER: 1 of the best!

SNIPER: Almost as amazing as Batman!

SPY: The good o' protector of Gotham City. The Dark Knight himself.

SOLDIER: The Dark Knight. Ooh, classic! Saw that in theaters too.

HEAVY: да, Heavy likes Batman. Is 1 of favorite DC Comics characters.

SCOUT: DC, Marvel, who cares, they're both great. Marvel has collaborated with various studios for the films. DC on the other hand, their rights are done by Warner Bros. Pictures.

ENGINEER: Well, not always, Scout.

SCOUT: What about Batman, have all adaptations been distributed by Warner Bros?

ENGINEER: Most of them. In fact, there is a 1966 adaptation that was distributed by 20th Century Fox.

SOLDIER: Oh, well, Demoman told me Disney rebranded it to 20th Century Studios. Something about brand confusion with Fox Corporation. I don't know when the name change occurred.

DEMOMAN: It happened on January 17th, 2020.

SOLDIER: Hey, Demoman, good to see you.

DEMOMAN: Yeah, you too. Just a few weeks ago, me & Soldier were having a discussion about Scarlett Johansson's lawsuit against Disney.

ENGINEER: Oh, yeah, I've heard about that myself. Gotta be honest, I was shocked by the news.

DEMOMAN: So, what were you guys talking about?

SCOUT: Some of our favorite movies. We're talking about Batman.

SNIPER: Yeah, Batman is 1 of the best from DC.

ENGINEER: Well, speaking of DC, did you know DC stands for Detective Comics?

SCOUT: Huh, I never knew that. You just bobble my mind with facts.

ENGINEER: Anytime, Scout.

DEMOMAN: 1 of my favorite movies is Pirates: Band of Misfits. I cracked up so hard because it reminded me of my eyepatch, which reminds me, it had been a while since we defeated Merasmus.

SOLDIER: Yep, it's been years, which makes me wonder since it's been so long, do you think his magic spells had worn off?

DEAMOMAN: Beats me, I woke up 1 morning a few days after, feeling strange. I didn't know what it was, but I guess we'll find out soon enough.

SOLDIER: You got that right.

DEMOMAN: Anyway, I saw the movie the day it hit theaters. I loved it!

SOLDIER: 1 of my favorite movies, Robots. It's not what you think, it's a pretty different film; it's the 2nd of 13 films produced by Blue Sky Studios.

SCOUT: 2nd of 13? What's that mean?

ENGINEER: Well, Scout, Blue Sky only produced 13 films before Disney shut it down do it to concerns of COVID-19.

SCOUT: Wait, shut down? That's sad, they made amazing films.

DEMOMAN: Yeah, but the films were sometimes very weird & cringeworthy. Still had a lot of hilarious moments & very majestic music.

HEAVY: I like The Peanuts Movie speaking of.

ENGINEER: Oh, with all the beloved Peanuts characters but all in CGI. Thought it was convenient when I saw it in theaters.

MEDIC: I really like Rio. I love those adorable macaw birds. Not to brag, but I have been to Rio before on vacation.

SNIPER: Speaking of Rio, I've been there too. I was going on a mission to stop some poachers from selling those types of birds for profit. I somehow followed a full load of birds to the Amazon Jungles.

SOLDIER: STOP GETTING ME MIXED UP WITH BRANDS & EVERYTHING ELSE! WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO HAVE MORE THAN 1 THING WITH MORE THAN 1 NAME?!

SPY: Soldier, calm down. It's part of life. Anyway, Sniper, you went to the Amazon Jungles? Reminds me of the purchasing app.

SNIPER: Yeah, there were so many hyacinth macaws. So many I could barely count. Anyway, at 1 point, I recall they were going to war against an army of poachers. I joined in on the excitement.

ENGINEER: Cool. Anyway, another 1 of my favorite movies, Up. I was watching something about MythBusters testing the myth out. I was blown away. I decided to watch the movie.

SPY: Well, for your information, I do have another favorite: The Scorpion King. Dwayne Johnson is real sick in that film, as in the metaphor.

SCOUT: I've heard of that film. It's part of The Mummy Franchise. The franchise started in 1999 with The Mummy.

SOLDIER: Scary monsters cannot scare me, especially mummies. I know Imhotep wasn't actually a mummy as Universal Studios depicted him, he was actually a real priest in ancient Egypt. He built the pyramids.

SPY: I didn't know that. Got to look him up now.

ENGINEER: Still, just the thought of being buried alive for thousands of years in toilet paper terrifies me! Wouldn't want to go through that, I've got so much to do.

HEAVY: Don't be all.

SOLDIER: Oh yeah, I also am in love with Star Trek! The futuristic adventures in space aboard the USS Enterprise would be a dream come true! My favorite from the franchise is Star Trek Beyond!

MEDIC: Star Trek has many dastardly villains. I guess the same would do for Marvel & DC, as well as all of Hollywood.

DEMOMAN: I'm not very interested in the villains, just their defeats.

SCOUT: Yeah, same.

ENGINEER: Speaking of, James Bond, AKA 007 has loads of that. I'm surprised with how many villains he has defeated and killed off throughout cinema history, starting back in 1962.

HEAVY: All of the James Bond movies are great except for No Time To Die.

SOLDIER: No spoilers. That is an order!

SNIPER: I would never spoil anything. Spider-Man: No Way Home was just released in theaters some time ago. I'm not telling what happens in it. I did see it though.

SCOUT: Spider-Man? He's so amazing!

SOLDIER: I don't know, he's kind of cocky for a teenage superhero.

DEMOMAN: Oh, relax, Soldier. Just because he got bit by a spider doesn't mean he's cocky. Plus, his Uncle Ben died.

SOLDIER: We all know that, Demoman. Is that why he wasn't in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

ENGINEER: Partially, Soldier. Maybe he never had an Uncle Ben in the MCU. Who knows?

SCOUT: Don't bring this up with Tom Holland.

MEDIC: Is that who does Spider-Man in the MCU? Huh. who would've guessed?

SPY: Yeah. It's been loads of fun talking to you guys about your favorite movies. Hope to do this again sometime.

HEAVY: Yeah, you too, Spy.

SNIPER: That was fun.

SOLDIER: I'm out. Seeya!

SCOUT: Thanks for chatting.

ENGINEER: You too, Scout. Now off to test some film styled experiments.

DEMOMAN: Y'all better have not a good day, but a great day.

MEDIC: Alright, see you later everyone.

### The Mercenaries & Mane Discuss Their Favorite Movies:

SNIPER: Hey, Spy. How's it going?

SPY: Oh, goodness, Sniper, I didn't see you there! I'm doing great. I just looked up Imhotep on Wikipedia a few days ago. Turns out Soldier was right about him being a priest. I grew fascinated.

SNIPER: Yeah, I'm just mind blown with those facts. So much for being an ancient evil movie villain.

SOLDIER: I have just received word that we are talking about movies again. Let's do it!

HEAVY: Да. Movies are always fun.

SPY: Well, now that you had mentioned it, I would love to talk about movies again. I really like The Martian. I feel bad for Matt Damon being stranded on Mars. Still very uplifting film.

SCOUT: Oh, dude, that's a good 1. Matt Damon is a real sport. He's very classic in a lot of movies he appears in. Anyway, just a few years ago, I saw Hidden Figures in cinemas. I loved it.

DEMOMAN: Very sporting of you, Scout. Did you know, these Hidden Figures were real people. They worked at NASA industries you're in the 1960s, back during black people struggle against segregation.

HEAVY: Да, Heavy has seen the movie on Disney+. Very inspiring. I really like Deadpool. Heavy has met Deadpool before.

SOLDIER: Oh, very classic, profanity loving killer mutant cancer fighting vigilante! I can't wait for him to join the Avengers. 1st a scum turned hero, then an X-Men trainee, X-Force leader, now a promotion.

ENGINEER: While we're talking about X-Men, I like watching the X-Men film franchise whenever I get bored. Keeps me pumped.

MEDIC: So, who's your favorite X-Men mutant?

ENGINEER: Wolverine. Did you know, that was Huge Jackman's very 1st film acting career. He's also iconic for Broadway musicals.

SOLDIER: My favorite is Storm. She can control the weather to defeat even the darkest of villains, as seen when she defeated Toad on the Statue of Liberty. Not to be confused with the Mario character.

SOCUT: I like Cyclops. I love how he has the ability to shoot lasers from his eyes. Blows my mind completely!

SPY: He's not the only 1.

DEMOMAN: Raya & the Last Dragon is just amazing! Watched it in theaters and eventually on Disney+. Did you know, the producers actually worked on the movie at home during the pandemic.

ENGINEER: Yeah, I saw something about it on their YouTube channel.

RAINBOW DASH: Hey guys, what's up?

SCOUT: Yo, Rainbow Dash! Great to see you!

RAINBOW DASH: Yeah, you too, Scout. Just happened to drop by. I couldn't help but overhear a conversation. What you guys discussing?

HEAVY: We are discussing favorite movies. We chatted about that some time ago, but we're doing it again. Care to join?

RAINBOW DASH: Oh, sure. I did see Sonic The Hedgehog in theaters on its release date. I have met Sonic in person before. We're close friends. 1 time, he took me to space. We had so much fun defeating Robotnik!

FLUTTERSHY: I really like Frozen. Such a very uplifting movie, much about sibling love. I even saw Frozen 2 in theaters.

ENGINEER: Same here, Fluttershy. Nice to have you here.

FLUTTERSHY: Thanks for having me.

DEMOMAN: Another 1 of my favorite movies: Full Metal Jacket. I know it's dark & violent, but I'm with Soldier about military strategy.

SOLDIER: Now you're talking!

TWILIGHT SPARKLE: That film is way too violent, even for me. Gave me nightmares at 1 point. I like fun and uplifting films, 1 of which is Encanto.

SOLDIER: THAT 1 SONG, "WE DON'T TALK ABOUT BRUNO", GOT ME ENRAGED!!! WHAT TYPE OF FAMILY SINGS ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY HATE A CERTAIN FAMILY MEMBER?!? THAT'S THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT FAMILY SHOULD BE!!!

ENGINER: Yeah, I really didn't like that song either, Soldier. That's just downright rude & inconsiderate.

DEMOMAN: The music was written by the same person who did Moana & Hamilton.

RARITY: Moana is such a classic. I never thought Dwayne Johnson would appear in an animated movie.

PINKIE PIE: Speaking of Dwayne Johnson, I love his role in Tooth Fairy. That 1 cracked me up so hard. I saw it in theaters.

ENGINEER: Oh yeah, that 1. Almost forgot about that. That got me to take care of my dental health & grant wishes.

SOLDIER: The tooth fairy also gives kids money. I know Mr. Krabs will go nuts for that stuff.

DEMOMAN: He can't help it, he's loved money all his life.

APPLEJACK: Howdy, y'all. Movie talking, are we? I like hard working flicks, like Mission: Impossible.

MEDIC: Ja Vol. Tom Cruise is a stunt-goer. I loved his work in Top Gun.

RAINBOW DASH: He's very awesome in his movies, but wasn't he in that 2017 Mummy movie?

DEMOMAN: That, he was, Rainbow Dash. He was. I thought it wasn't all that bad. Just think, a female mummy with pupula-duplex. Thought that was something else.

SOLDIER: Pupula-duplex is a myth, Demoman. No-one can really have 2 irises & pupils in their eyes.

DEMOMAN: I get that, but hear me out: The Mummy was intended to be the start of a rebooted Dark Universe franchise by Universal Studios, but it wasn't a big success, so it ended up being the only film.

SNIPER: Speaking of The Mummy, I like Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor. Never thought there was any such thing as Chinese mummies.

DEMOMAN: Mummies can be found all over the World. Just hope they're not evil with ancient curses.

ENGINEER: Yeah, but just the thought of adventure & tackling off ancient villains would be amazing. I would love to see that on the big screen someday.

RAINBOW DASH: We've done it before.

SCOUT: I really also like Skyscraper. It's an action film that gets me going. Just the thought of being a gigantic skyscraper would be amazing!

SNIPER: Yeah, but wouldn't 20th Century Fox criticize Universal for copying from Die Hard?

TWILIGHT SPARKLE: Not to mention, some people would get acrophobia.

ENGINEER: But, hey, as long as it's the villains falling to their deaths, it shouldn't be an issue.

SNIPER: Disney bombards their films with that. I mean, seriously. I love it.

HEAVY: Heavy likes Tangled. Rapunzel is favorite princess.

MEDIC: Yeah, mine too.

TWILIGHT SPARKLE: I'm a princess myself.

SOLDIER: You're lucky to be, Twilight. Just think, you & your friends get to rule a country after defeating so many evildoers. It's good on you.

ENGINEER: Indeed. So, anyway, another one of those classic animated films, Applejack did say something about hard-working, so that reminds me of our old pal, Ferdinand. He's very friendly, but very buff.

HEAVY: Да! Ferdinand is so nice, even in his struggle to fight his way home to little girl.

DEMOMAN: Yeah. Nina is a sweetheart. She's very lucky to have a close friend such as Ferdinand. That bull may be big, but at least he has a heart to gold.

SOLDIER: For a second, I thought you were going to say "Heart of the Ocean".

RAINBOW DASH: Oh, Soldier.

RARITY: 1 of my favorite movies is Black Panther. He's a very majestic king. I have visited Wakanda before.

PINKIE PIE: Yeah. It's just sad that his actor, Chadwick Boseman, died.

RAINBOW DASH: Yeah, he was so close to middle age. Cancer is a very bad way to go. Good think Deadpool's standing up to it.

HEVAVY: We were just talking about Deadpool not too long ago.

RAINBOW DASH: Well, that's convenient.

FLUTTERSHY: I also like Chicken Little. Just the thought of paranoid aniphomorphic animals gets me the chills. I also like it because it's all animals.

TWILIGHT SPARKLE: I really like The Jungle Book, personally because of the title. I've read the books too.

SOLDIER: Well, I personally like the elephants, mainly because they're military, I like the song that goes with their march, very fitting.

DEMOMAN: Indeed. The 1 part in the movie that creeps me out is that bloody python, Kaa!

RAINBOW DASH: Oh, him. I've encountered him a few times. Those exotic colors in his eyes, it's just, I'd rather not talk about it. It's embarrassing.

ENGINEER: That's terrible! No wonder so much of that fan art stuff is on the internet media. It's led up to the point where people turn harmless girls into brainwashed zombie like slaves, I mean what's with that?

SPY: Don't get me started on that fem-bot stuff. There's so much of that on Deviant Art. It's happened to ponies too.

SCOUT: Yeah, along with Kara Kaden headband/spy-cat suits. The headbands tend to overwrite someone's brain. On top of that, a long hall of blue drones; humanoid slaves as feature-lacking, but they have hair.

SOLDIER: I've heard rumors. I thought that was just a myth.

ENGINEER: It is fictional in the Real World, Soldier. We're alright.

DEMOMAN: Well, I will admit, it was fun chatting with you guys.

SCOUT: See you, Demoman.

TWILIGHT SPARKLE: We gotta go. Equestria needs care.

RAINBOW DASH: I had fun. See you guys around.

APPLEJACK: I got apple bucking to do. Hope to catch up.

RARITY: Time to go & raise money for charity.

FLUTTERSHY: I need to take care of animals. I had fun.

PINKIE PIE: Seeya. Oh & for the record, you should check out Shanghai Noon.

ENGINEER: Will, do Pinkie. Gotta build some sentries & dispensers.

SPY: I'll come with, make sure no one tries to zap them.

HEAVY: Да, Heavy could use both of each.

MEDIC: Off to create my own COVID-19 vaccine.

SOLDIER: I hope we can do this again.

SNIPER: Yeah, me too. Keep up the good work.

### The Mercenaries Celebrate Independence Day:

SOLDIER: Ah. nothing like the 4th of July.

DEMOMAN: Yeah, always fun to hang out with you guys around this time of year. I love the barbecues & fireworks.

SOLDIER: Me too. I also love the parades. Those are so much fun! I love when people dress up as Marvel characters & toss out candy.

HEAVY: Soldier cracks Heavy up sometimes. I'm actually getting used to this American tradition. It's not the same back in Russia, we have dances over there sometimes.

SCOUT: Dancing is fun. Last I've heard, dancing is also a healthy example of exercise. So is swimming.

ENGINEER: My favorite part of Independence Day is the history. Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence. I'll bet Nicholas Cage himself likes this American holiday.

HEAVY: Heavy warmed up to idea after watching Independence Day movie. Inspired Heavy to fight for people across the World. We have to unite as 1 after all, peacefully.

SOLDIER: Oh yeah, I saw that movie in theaters! That's what drove me into becoming a courage-filled machine of war! "Hello, boys, I'm back!"

DEMOMAN: 1 of the most iconic lines in cinema history. Did you know, there's a sequel that came out 20 years after. We may never know when evil may come to threaten America. That's why I love being a hero.

SNIPER: Me too. America is a great country. Never thought there'd be so much freedom. Warns my heart.

MEDIC: I like the speeches. I also visit Washington D.C. sometimes whenever I feel like it. I love visiting the Washington Monument.

SCOUT: As much as I love you guys. Nothing satisfies me more than spending time with you on the 4th of July.

SOLDIER: That was probably 1 of the most uplifting things I have ever heard you say, Scout. I love spending time with you too. I'm glad we're close friends.

DEMOMAN: Anyway, how's the R.M.M.V. Patriotic?

ENGINEER: It's doing great. At this moment, the ship is sending supplies to Ukraine.

HEAVY: Heavy has friend who's from Ukraine. After Russia started attacking, he managed to escape. I suggested he come here for safety. I have told him about the wonders of this country.

MEDIC: From overseas or not, I am happy to be part of this celebration of Independence.

SOLDIER: Everyone should have their own freedom regardless of where they come from. What would we do if 1776 had never happened?

SNIPER: I love you guys so much. You're the best friends I could ever have.

SPY: Same. You've all inspired me in many ways. What would I ever do without any of you?

SOLDIER: You have inspired me too. Heavy, although you're from Russia, I'm happy to call you a friend.

HEAVY: I always intend to be, I stick out & send my support to Ukraine. Heavy does not like violence against other countries.

ENGINEER: Happy 4th of July, everyone! Let us celebrate the Month of Freedom!

SPY: Indeed. How about a group hug?

SOLDIER: It's been said before & it'll probably be said again: we all have our differences, but we're friends no matter what!

MEDIC: Well said, Soldier.

### The Mercanaries Discuss The Scam Of Fox News:

SOLDIER: Hey, Demoman, can we talk?

DEMOMAN: Sure, Soldier. What's up?

SOLDIER: Well, the thing is, I've been thinking about our conversation about Scarlett Johansson suing Disney & the fact that you did say something about Disney changing 20th Century Fox's name.

DEMOMAN: Yeah & your point is?

SOLDIER: I'm thinking Fox News tricked Disney into changing the name. 20th Century Fox came 1st, correct?

DEMOMAN: That is correct, Soldier. Fox News on the other hand was established in 1996. During the merger, they formed Fox Corporation as a split of 21st Century Fox.

SOLDIER: & when did the merger complete?

DEMOMAN: Disney successfully purchased 20th Century Fox on March 20th, 2019. The merger included other assets in the studio's family, including Fox Searchlight Pictures, Blue Sky Studios, Regency Enterprises, TSG Entertainment, Cherin Entertainment & of course, National Geographic.

SOLDIER: That's a lot of companies. What does TSG stand for?

DEMOMAN: The Seelig Group. It was created as a replacement for Dune Entertainment. They had collaborated with 20th Century Fox for a selection of live-action films, including Planet Of The Apes prequels.

SOLDIER: That's interesting. Anyway, I'm thinking Fox News might have been a set-up.

DEMOMAN: What makes you say that, old pal?

SOLDIER: Well, because they continue to tell lies via Broadcast & News articles. I'm thinking they cheated Fox from the 20th Century Fox studio brand. This implies that the rebrand shouldn't have happened.

DEMOMAN: You know what, that is a very good point. Of course, but good, I mean great. Anyway, I think you might be a great detective.

HEAVY: No wonder Heavy has been getting unrelated Broadcasts on the News. Fox News is scam to Disney.

ENGINEER: I agree. Fox News shouldn't even be a real company. It's because of them, we're stuck with some Blender-like production parody.

SCOUT: Yeah, Fox News doesn't even seem to care about anybody else but themselves. It's not Disney's fault. They were just doing what they thought was for the best. Fox News is a straight-up rip-off!

MEDIC: Yeah, it still has those familiar searchlight beacons in their trademark symbol.

DEMOMAN: That reminds me, it ain't even as cheap as that Nassour Studios thing from 1949. I hope Daryl F. Zanuck sued Edward Nassour for logo or infringement, as Disney should have done to Fox News.

ENGINEER: Nassour Studios? What's that?

DEMOMAN: Nassour Studios was an American independent film production company established in 1946 by Edward and William Nassour. Edward had a thing for stop-motion and dinosaurs. The logo is a blatant copy of the original 20th Century Fox logo, which was originally created & designed by Emil Cosa Jr. The difference is that it faces the opposite side of 20th's. Another is that the searchlights are in front of the structure rather than on the side of or behind. Plus, the original props such is the stairwell & stage are replaced with buildings.

ENGINEER: That does sound very copy-like. What kind of major production company steals from another studio introduction sequence? That's just wrong.

DEMOMAN: Thing is, it didn't last very long. After the release of The Beast Of Hollow Mountain, Nassour Studios was shut down. The film was so negatively reviewed that it bombed the studio.

SOLDIER: Serves them right.

SNIPER: Honestly, suing Fox Corp would have been a better solution than rebranding 20th Century Fox.

SPY: Sniper's right. Fox News shouldn't have done this to such a beloved production company. If Fox News hadn't gotten away with it, 20th Century Studios would still be going as 20th Century Fox.

HEAVY: This means we have to do something.

DEMOMAN: I suggest we give this message to Disney.

SCOUT: All in favor, say "Aye Matey!"

ALL: Aye, Matey!

DEMOMAN: Motion carried.

### The Mercenaries Discuss Their Favorite MCU Characters:

SOLDIER: Hello boys, I've just gotten back from seeing Thor: Love and Thunder.

SCOUT: Oh hey, Soldier, how was the movie?

SOLDIER: Better than I expected! It really inspired me to want to go on adventures of my own. Don't worry, I'm leaving out spoilers.

SCOUT: I want to watch this film for myself. Spy offered to take me.

SPY: I sure did. I'm actually quite a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Thor's one of my favorite Marvel characters.

SOLDIER: I like Falcon. I'm glad he's the new Captain America.

HEAVY: Heavy likes Black Widow. Heavy saw movie in theaters. If I recall, Scarlett Johnson sued Disney for release.

DEMOMAN: That's correct, Heavy. How did you know?

HEAVY: I could hear you and Soldier chatting about lawsuit and Fox merger.

ENGINEER: I like Iron Man & Korg. Iron Man is a very busy character. Korg is just so much loose-cannon.

SNIPER: I love Hawkeye. I like how he has the arrows. Reminds me of the valiant Robin Hood.

MEDIC: I am Groot.

DEMOMAN: Groot is a very adorable character. I love how I am Groot is all he says, even when it has different meanings.

MEDIC: I am Groot.

SCOUT: That's very funny, Medic. What inspired you to be like him?

MEDIC: I am Groot.

SPY: Can't get enough of this!

HEAVY: Why is Medic speaking like tree character?

MEDIC: Just messing with you. I was saying that because Groot is 1 of my favorite Guardians of the Galaxy. I saw trailers for the new Thor movie and I want to tag along.

SOLDIER: Great. I just got back from watching it. Scout & Spy are going to see it.

SPY: Care to join? I hear it's a very impressive movie.

MEDIC: You know I really want to see it. I saw the first 3 Thor movies and theaters. I have a feeling this will be just as fun!

SCOUT: Then, come along. I can't wait for this movie.

SOLDIER: I hope you have fun, you 3. You might like it.

SPY: Thank you, Soldier. This movie will be a game-changer for me.

## Trivia:

Each of these videos use 15.ai, which is a Text-To-Speech program that replicates voices from different parts of media, including Team Fortress 2, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, SpongeBob SquarePants & Portal.

Engineer says very interesting facts in the 1st Favorite Movie discussion videos. These facts are 100% true.

* The Ninja Turtles were named after Rennisance Artists.
* Olympic & Titanic were built by Harland & Wolff Shipyards in Belfast, Ireland, in hopes of competing against Cunard's Lusitania & Mauretania.
* 20th Century Fox distributed the 1966 Batman adaptation, not Warner Bros. Discovery.
* DC Comics stands for Detective Comics. It was created back in the 1940s. Detective Comics competes against Marvel, which is an acquired asset of Disney.

Soldier is right about Imhotep, the titular antagonist of "The Mummy", actually being a real priest in ancient Egypt. In reality, instead of being an evil priest who was mummified alive as punishment for trying to ressurect his lover & murdering a pharoh, Imhotep was a God of Medicine. He created healing products. His desendants continue to use this method to cure people to this very day. He was also quite well-known for being an arcetect who helped build the famous ancient pyramids & temples. However, unlike in the movies, it is unclear if these particular temples are set with death-threat booby traps.

Soldier may have a point of confusing 4-Funnel liners for RMS Titanic, given the number of funnels. However, Titanic was not the only ship that had 4 funnels, she's just the most talked about. Mauretania, during her final years as an ocean liner, had her hull painted white for cruise service during the Great Depression until she was scrapped in 1935. Britannic, the 3rd & final liner in the Olympic Class, was meant to serve as an ocean liner like her sisters, but instead was turned into a hospital ship when World War 1 broke out. The war was a result after the assasination of Spanish Duke Franz Ferdinand, which the iconic bull character was named after. He would be voiced by WWE Wrestler John Cena in Blue Sky's 2017 animated film of the same name, which, along with all other Blue Sky films, was distributed under the 20th Century Fox brand.

20th Century Fox was infact formed during the Great Depression. It was formed in 1935 through a merger with 20th Century Pictures, Inc. & the William Fox Studio industry. The studio was run by Daryl F. Zanuck, who formed the original 20th Century Studios back in 1933. William Fox created his own famous studio in 1915 during World War 1. He sold it in 1929 & it merged with 20th Century Pictures, Inc. in 1935.

When Engineer mentions that Blue Sky Studios was shut down by Disney due to concerns of the ongoing Coronavirus Pandemic, a picture resembling 833time's ongoing promise to save Blue Sky appears.

Sniper may be right about 20th Century Fox criticizing Universal Studios for copying from the 1988 film, Die Hard, which features Bruce Willis. Both Die Hard & Skyscraper featuring Dwayne Johnson initially have the same plot & were released 30 years apart; Die Hard released in 1988 & Skyscraper in 2018. This points out that 20th Century Fox & Disney would likely sue Universal for plot infringement, even though both movies are technically different & take place on different settings; Die Hard being set in Los Angeles, California & Skyscraper taking place in Dubai. However, Nakatomi Tower is a real building & goes as Fox Plaza in real life. It is owned & was constructed by 20th Century Fox, which is now an acquired subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company, while The Pearl, the titular skyscraper in the 2018 film, is completely CGI & therefore, fictional. Both films are based entirely off of fiction.

The Mercenaries & Mane 6 Discuss Their Favorite Movies is the only episode thus far to feature My Little Pony characters.

Kaa is mentioned in both favorite movie discussion videos.

* Soldier mentions The Jungle Book (2016) when Spy mentions that he loves Disne's live-action remakes of their animated films. Soldier mentions that Scarlett Johannson's version of the character scared him very much, ironic sense nothing had ever scared him before.
* Demoman mentions Kaa in the original 1967 animated film, stating him as the 1 part that creeps him out, to which Rainbow Dash replies that she had enountered him a few times, stating "Those exotic colors in his eyes". This points out that she had been hypnotized by him on ocassion. She's not the only 1. This is all over the internet. Back when Drake & his friends reacted the 2016 remake trailer in 2018, Harry mentioned that varoius characters from different media had ended up meeting the same fate. Those are likely photo edits. It is unlikely that their original studios are aware of this, except for Disney. Kaa is notorious & iconic for his hypnosis ability.
* The mercenaries seems to be fearless against most things, with the exception of hypnosis.

Sniper mentions that Disney bombards their films with villains falling to their deaths after Engineer mentions that as long its the villains falling to their deaths, it shouldn't be an issue. He's not wrong. Disney tends to include this climax in most of their live-action & animated films. Examples are The Jungle Book (2016), Beauty & The Beast (1991 & 2017) Snow White & The 7 Dwarves (Disney's 1st motion picture), Tom & Huck (1995), Sleeping Beauty & Maleficent.
