Half-Genie Soldier is a series of Source [=FilmMaker=] shorts created by [=TheLeondude=] focusing on the random exploits of a [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 BLU Soldier]] inhabiting [[VideoGame/{{Shantae}} Shantae's]] body via [[VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey Cappy]].
The series can be viewed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWxOTBXY5mU&list=PLIzFOM7U3fW21iF8teDDQnqr4tuuzrzdk here]].
!! I have commandeered these tropes!:
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: When the Half-Genie Soldier was spinning in the air in 'Demoman's Controversial Opinion', the subtitles referred to it as 'Soldier Shantae [[Memes/RevengeOfTheSith Sheev spin]]'
* AssShove: How the RED Demoman was killed by the Half-Genie Soldier ([[DeathIsCheap he gets better]]). The BLU Soldier made Shantae turn into her monkey form and had her crawl up the Demoman's ass and through his insides.
--->'''RED Demoman:''' Ah! Me wee arse!
** It's implied this is what the RED Soldier did to Merasmus at the end of 'The Vicious Cycle of Capturing the Cappy'.
* BaitAndSwitch: The titular opinion in 'Demoman's Controversial Opinion'. He tells the Half-Genie Soldier [[spoiler: he doesn't find Ryuko from Anime/KillLaKill sexy]], with the Soldier ready to bash his head in with a Market Gardener until Demoman says [[spoiler: "Except when she's in her underwear"]].
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Let's just say the RED Demoman should have thought twice about wishing for a drink in 'The ½ Genie Soldier Strikes Again' when the Half-Genie Soldier breaks the beer bottle and uses it to [[GroinAttack castrate him]].
* BigNo: Merasmus when the RED Soldier shoves a Rabbid up his ass.
* BoomHeadshot: The RED Sniper does this to the BLU Soldier in 'The Vicious Cycle of Capturing the Cappy' after shooting Cappy off of Shantae's head.
* ButtMonkey: The RED Demoman. Barring 'Demoman's Controversial Opinion' (and even then, he looked banged up in that one), something bad always happens to him every time he appears.
** The Half-Genie Soldier themselves tend to be this in recent shorts. Though, given what the [[VillainProtagonist BLU Soldier]] is like, it can be seen as karmic.
* {{Crossover}}: Between VideoGame/TeamFortress2, VideoGame/{{Shantae}}, and VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey. Also, there were cameos by the [[VideoGame/RavingRabbids Rabbids]] and [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder Scathach]] in 'The Vicious Cycle of Capturing the Cappy'.
* DeathIsCheap: Because characters can respawn, no-one ever stays dead in these shorts. Even both halves of the titular Half-Genie Soldier got killed twice in the series and came back no worse for wear.
* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: In the first two shorts, Cappy took the form of the Tyrant's Helm instead of the Wiki Cap form he has throughout the rest of the shorts.
* ExplainExplainOhCrap: The Half-Genie Soldier does this during their BadassBoast when they realize a brain worm is eating Shantae's brain.
--->'''BLU Soldier:''' If God had wanted you to live, he would not have made me a mindless puppet of this brain maggot! Wait a minute. GAAAAH! THERE'S A MAGGOT EATING SHANTAE'S BRAIN!
* FreudianThreat: '½ Genie Soldier Threatens To Castrate Demoman'. It's ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.
--->'''Half-Genie Soldier:''' I will rip off your dick and crap in your dick-hole!
* FunWithSubtitles: The subtitles in these shorts have some very amusing descriptions of actions. For instance, when the Half-Genie Soldier turned into a monkey, the subtitles say 'return to monke'.
* GrandTheftMe: The titular Half-Genie Soldier is the result of the BLU Soldier using Cappy to possess Shantae's body.
* GroinAttack: The Half-Genie Soldier, after granting RED Demoman's wish for a drink, breaks the beer bottle and uses it to stab him in the junk.
** The RED Sniper is on the receiving end of one when the BLU Demoman shoots a stickybomb at his crotch before blowing him up.
* INeedAFreakingDrink: RED Demoman says this near-verbatim in 'The ½ Genie Soldier Strikes Again'. [[GroinAttack He most likely regretted saying it in front of a half-genie possessed by his frenemy]].
* InstantSoprano: After being castrated by the BLU Soldier in 'The ½ Genie Soldier Strikes Again', the RED Demoman lets out a very high-pitched scream.
* KilledMidSentence: Well, more like mid-singing but the RED Heavy was killed by the Half-Genie Soldier in 'Shantae - ½ Genie Mindless Puppet of This Brain Maggot' while he was in the middle of singing to his Sandvich.
* MsFanservice: Lampshaded in 'Half-Genie Facts':
--->'''Half-Genie Soldier:''' Men, these are the facts as I understand them: One! I am a pretty half-genie. Two! I have female bosoms that get bigger every time I feel them up!
* MythologyGag: 'Half-Genie Facts' is shot in a way similar to the ending of 'Meet the Soldier'.
* NeckSnap: The BLU Scout somehow managed to do this to himself in 'The Vicious Cycle of Capturing the Cappy' by looking at Cappy then Scathach then back at Cappy.
* PowerPerversionPotential: Most likely the only reason why the BLU Soldier continuously uses Cappy to possess Shantae. Especially when he mentions her boobs getting bigger every time he feels them up.
* PrecisionFStrike: The RED Demoman's response to seeing the BLU Soldier trying to pee while possessing Shantae's body is to shout "For fuck sake, Soldier!".
* RunningGag: The BLU Soldier being unable to pronounce Shantae's name correctly, pronouncing it as 'Shan-tow' in 'The ½ Genie Soldier Strikes Again' and 'Sun-tan' in 'Shantae - ½ Genie Mindless Puppet of This Brain Maggot'.
** There's also the Demoman saying 'What?' in a shocked manner.
* SlasherSmile: The Half-Genie Soldier is very fond of flashing these.
** The RED Soldier gives one to Merasmus before shoving a Rabbid up his ass.
* SeriousBusiness: If 'Demoman's Controversial Opinion' is anything to go by, telling the Half-Genie Soldier [[spoiler: Ryuko from Anime/KillLaKill isn't sexy]] is punishable by death.
* ShoutOut: As one would expect from something by [=TheLeondude=]:
** The BLU Spy, after seeing the events of both '½ Genie Soldier' and 'The ½ Genie Soldier Strikes Again' [[Machinima/HeavyIsDead comments that what happened was idiotic and that he's off to hang himself]].
** The Half-Genie Soldier telling the RED Demoman what they are in 'The ½ Soldier Strikes Again' is a reference to Mako's speeches from Anime/KillLaKill. The subtitles even call it a 'Kill la Kill reference'.
** The RED Demoman showing up to tell the Half-Genie Soldier his controversial opinion is shot in a way similar to when the clones are about to arrest Krell in '[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS4E10CarnageOfKrell Carnage of Krell]]'. It even has the same music as that scene.
* ShowingOffTheNewBody: The BLU Soldier is implied to do this regularly.
--->'''RED Demoman:''' For fuck sake, Soldier! Do you have to be possessing Shantae twenty-four hours a day?!\\
'''Half-Genie Soldier:''' What? I like the way she looks in the mirror.
* SyntheticVoiceActor: 15.ai is occasionally used to provide the voices of the BLU Soldier and RED Demoman'.
* VillainProtagonist: The BLU Soldier, if regularly hijacking Shantae's body and using it to gleefully murder and castrate his way through the RED team is anything to go by.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Despite how often they try to murder each other, the RED Demoman and BLU Soldier are described as ''on-again-off-again-besties''. It certainly helps that there are shorts where they ''aren't'' trying to kill each other.
* VoicesAreMental: The Half-Genie Soldier constantly speaks in the BLU Soldier's voice despite possessing a female body.
* WeaponOfChoice: The Market Gardener for the Half-Genie Soldier.
* WolverinePublicity: The only reason why the Half-Genie Soldier even appeared in 'The Vicious Cycle of Capturing the Cappy'.
