i'm gonna be honest, i am highly annoyed by the fact that this is one of the few times we actually get to see medic involved in direct combat and the comics decide to just kill him for the sake of, what, motivating heavy to face off classic heavy? boring ass writing decision

don't get me wrong i love the comics but i highly dislike how they played up medic to be important only to kill him off just to further the plot and give heavy more screen time 😐 they made him as disposable as a connery-era bond girl and it sucks ass so bad. what was the point of subverting the "passive healer who can't fend for themselves" trope with medic's entire character in general when you end up playing it straight for drama in the comics anyway? Fuck's sake lol

#real yapping hours #tf2 #sorry i just saw this panel and it reminded me of how much i love medic there #then he just gets unceremoniously shot so Classic Heavy And Modern Heavy Face Each Other Like A Mirror #the comics did medic so dirty #don't really like the whole Faustian Bargain thing they're doing for him either #it straight up cheapens his knowledge by reducing it to 'yea he sold his soul lol' instead of his skill being the product of his hard work #fuckin. i have So Many Opinions about what valve did to medic's character and i'm not happy with some of their decisions #this is why i've decided to just cast away canon and make him my adopted oc #i am That pissed off and annoyed
