INFO

The opening sequence from Half-Life 2 Episode One. This is the only appereance that the G-man makes in this episode, and reveals somehow that he isn't unstoppable or godlike. However, who Gman is remains still a mystery troughtout the game and I'm not going to tell my theory about him... The only thing I can mention is that I hope he's not evil, at least neutral. Happy watching!

Before this, his speech was very indifferent and business-like. this is the first time we see him genuinely angry, which makes it even more sinister.  

[AnvilPro]

I love how when the G-man notices the first he smiles, but then as more appears he becomes visibly worried

[Kylev]

We'll see about THAT.

*proceeds to travel 5 years into the past to appraise Alyx's recruitment eligibility*

[leafkirby]

the first time he sees a vortaguant he looks slightly amused. then its quickly turned into a scowl

[EdwardOfTheAwesome]

I like the way how the Vortigaunts push Gman around and he actually gets pissed XD

[Waylon]

This made me laugh to be honest. Gman comes in like "Oh hey Freeman I was gonna tell you-" then just gets cut off

[tornadorundo]

Anyone else noticed how G-Man had a smirk on his face when the first vortigaunt before the others came?

[ethanlivemere]

This is the only time G-Man seems like he isn't completely on top of everything, it's creepy

[GIJew]

Those 4 words have so much meaning to the story of this game.
Holy shit, Valve is so great at this...

[ValianTheRELover]

So, this is the reason why he went after Alyx

[EdwardOfTheAwesome]

What I love about this is that this is the first time we've ever seen G-Man show any emotion. I loved how he starts off surprised and shocked and then that evolves into him being angered, like visibly pissed off. Despite him only being present in the game for a few seconds, we learn so much about him in those moments

[wanamingo]

When I saw it a long time ago, it was a wide array of emotions. I felt happy to see Alyx was saved by the Vortigaunts. I felt glee in seeing G-man being pushed back! He wasn't all-powerful! Elation, relief, and then, a pang of fear.
G-man, always so calm and "under control", always waiting for the right moment, always "rational" in his own way, was confused, and then, angry.
If his business suit are the "restrictions" he's always abiding by, he just loosened his "tie", symbolically enough.
"We'll see about THAT." And I felt powerless, for despite everything I did as Mr. Freeman, I could never face G-man alone.

[yoshidude]

This one is my favourite scene in the HL series. Its because it tells us what happened after Half Life 2, and it shows that Someone, Something... Is stronger than the G-man.

[sanichotdog]

It took me a while but I finally figured out what is going on in this scene.
The G-Man was going to but Gordon back in stasis but the Vortigaunts stopped him which angered him.

[julianreviews]

This scene is seared into my mind. It is so chilling from beginning to end. The callback to Breen's line "What is it you have created?" was powerful here. Surreal and so well done. And of course, "We'll see... about that." is unforgettable.

[ctrlaltrepeat]

1:17
Notice how as Gman gets further from Gordon, his projection fades away, and the Vortigaunts that grab Gordon have a projection that appears from them, signifying that they now have control over him with the vortessence.

[JacobExCraze]

I love how you can see how displeased G-man is with seeing Gordon being pulled out of stasis, from what we know from G-man he is normally always at the top of power. But at this moment he has no power against an army of vortigaunts. This also reveals how his one true weakness is Vortessence, which is poised on how he was contained in the vault in Half Life Alyx.

[pedrofromrio]

I’d like to imagine Adrian Shepard is there, just watching as Gordon gets plucked out of stasis as he remains. Poor guy.

[orange]

This is such an amazing scene. The way the game reassures the player that Alyx is safe. The way Gman looks like he's about to say something, but then notices the vortigaunts. The way he's amused at first, but then becomes visibly worried. The way he seems to lose himself for just a second. The way the game tells that player that Gman isn't all-powerful.

[sicariusflamus]

hell, gman entering the room couldve easily been to initiate half life 3. god dammit vortigaunts youve doomed us
