Meet the Pyro

Valve finally gets around to letting us know what's up with the Pyro, and it's pretty messed up!

Can someone explain why the song is a hint that the pyro's a woman? I don't get it.

nevertheless, amazing

I think Valve wanted to leave people confused or still wanting to know due to the ambiguous nature of the video (dialogue, drug-like induced state) probably because the mysterious aspects of the pyro is more interesting than the reveal to them. If anybody wants an answer, they can make their own conclusion.

I would call the Pyro's intentions a bit... misguided.

That was different. I was not thinking they were going in that direction. I should have figured they were not going to answer the gender question that we have been trying to find out for a while now.

Listen to the lyrics of the song :D

I feel dumb ;_;

It's always been that, or at least, for the last couple 'Meet The' videos.

Perfect. Well done Valve... I am duly astounded.

P.S. People have to stop reading into the song... The Lovin' Spoonful didn't know about Pyro in 1965.

I think that was pretty good, a nice twist on the character without validating people's thought's on the gender.

I don't know why people are using the song to try and confirm it's a woman. At the beginning heavy says "I fear no man, but that thing, it scares me." and scout says "He's not here is he?" So, basically it could be a man, woman, or not human. We still don't know.

And now we just have to sit back and wait for the inevitable remake of 2fort as Candyland maps to show up.

But the scout says "He's not here, is he?". I'd trust that over a song lyric.

Scout says "He's not here, is she?", go to youtube, enable the transcript or captions.

That was absolutely terrifying. No other Meet videos have showed such....malice. The head tilt at the end as he torches the sniper is an amazing touch.

I'm still betting Pyro is a girl. Especially with the hints like The Heavy stating he fears no man.
