TF2 updated so I'm taking this post out of drafts:
The TF2 Mercs are a part of the internet equivalent of the commedia dell'arte stock characters. Being automatically included in Source derivative software such as SFM and GMod, they're very easily available as premade rigs for amateur animators to use in their works. The simple, cartoony, and discernible designs make them very easy to read at any angle, which although originally used to be easily read in a competitive gaming environment, translates well to comedy skits. Unlike similar games such as Overwatch, where they're practically over-designed in a very definite artstyle, TF2 characters are lacking in accessories as a default. Generally wearing simple single color jackets, t-shirts and pants. In fact, the varied nature of TF2's cosmetic system makes them perfect as dress-up dolls, making it very easy to reuse the same base model and differentiate between them.
That brings me to their characterization. Even though most if not all have pretty well defined backstories and narratives, outlined in the supplementary media of comics and Meet the Videos, their baseline personalities can be easily transplanted into various skits and narratives with minimal introduction. Scout is a cocky jackass. Soldier is a dimwitted, overly patriotic American. Heavy is simultaneously soft-spoken and boisterous Russian who revels in violence. These simple yet understood personalities mean you can bypass proper character introductions by identifying who's in what role from the start, similar to the archetypes from the aforementioned commedia dell'arte.
You don't even have to be a fan of tf2 to grasp these roles. The ubiquity of SFM as free 3d animation software is a self supporting introduction. If you are unfamiliar with tf2's narrative, simply consuming a handful of these animations can get you up to speed.
Simultaneously, TF2's narrative is just as batshit as the fan animations that are inspired by it. You could certainly use other valve properties for similar reasons regarding animation accessibility, but TF2 embracing comedy from the start and the simple insanity of its characters means you can transport them to a wider array off stories while asking for a much smaller suspension of disbelief.
A Half Life animation is far more likely to be about Half Life than any given TF2 animation is about TF2. Many of them are, but way more are simply not.
TF2 as a property has a lot of staying power. 16 years now and even with minimal support from valve, it still soldiers on (pun intended) as a significant part of internet meme culture. I find it's notoriety akin to Hatsune Miku, where they're given a second life outside of the purpose of their original creation. They're less FPS characters, and more little dolls novice animators smack together for the entertainment of others.
And at the end of the day that's almost all it really takes. A significant slice of media engagement and fan works for the internet at large could not care less about Canon or the main narrative, even if its well regarded, because the biggest draw for many is simply taking strong personalities and putting them in funny situations. It's why incorrect quotes are absolutely everywhere despite the fact that a good 80% of them do not fit the original characters one bit. Meanwhile, TF2 as a property actively encourages it.
The following are all fan animations that have jack shit to do with each other or the original canon--be it in game, the original animations, or expanded comics--and yet they're still ultimately cohesive as these little shorts that play with the cast as archetypes, with their own recognizable appearances and roles.

Lupin III - Il castello di Cagliostro
Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo siamo tornati a parlare di horror e questa volta lo abbiamo fatto con un’opera originale che ai tempi venne criticata ma pian piano è diventata un vero e proprio cult per i fan dell’horror, Orphan. Kate è una donna che ha perso la sua terza figlia, nata morta. Questo evento l’ha sconvolta profondamente, facendola soffrire molto e…

(I don’t think I ever shared my Commedia dell’Arte inspired drawings of Cesare and Caligari, so here they are! Caligari is somewhat of a combination of Scaramuccia, Arlecchino, and obviously il Dottore, while Cesare is pretty strictly Pierrot.)

I miei personali cult movies natalizi
I miei personali cult movies natalizi
Eh sì, anche se latito in questi giorni, volevo comunque dire la mia su cosa vedere in questi giorni di festa… per chi farà festa ovviamente, la sottoscritta lavorerà persino la vigilia, ma non ci pensiamo… 🙈 Partiamo dal presupposto che i gusti sono strettamente personali e che quello che piace a me, può non piacere a qualcun altro e viceversa. A volte leggo in giro di suggerimenti che sembrano…
