The girl with Reinhardt is actually the daughter of another character named Torbjorn

21:11 Former pro gamer. She is now a pilot who defends her country. 52:51 “Officer, for legal reasons, we are Overwatch 2. Totally different from Overwatch.”

The Kiriko one always makes me cry

the videos with genji, dva, and hanzo at the end were trailers for crossover stuff with another blizzard game, they just have a little bit of lore for hanzo and genji in them which is probably why they included them. there's no demonic monsters or people able to turn into dragons in overwatch's universe.

The thing about Sombra's boop, is that it's referencing the other photograph on Volskaya's desk, with her doing the same thing to her daughter. So, either Sombra is being the same sort of playful, or if you want to take the darker implication, she made an indirect threat to the daughter.

Yes, Reinharts friend is still in the suit of armor. A crusader's armor becomes their tomb.

Really wish we got a cinematic for Ramattra, he feels like such a compelling character.

"I have been called, I must answer." hits me in my heart of hearts.

The doom-fist and sigma cinematic is heat

The reason dva, a gaming expert is piloting the mech, is because the government didn't have pilots with fast enough reflexes to use them, so they turned to the pro gamers Kinda a cool backstory ngl

18:20 The woman who voices Ashe is actually legendary voice actress Jennifer Hale! She has like a Guiness world record for most female characters voiced in video games (or had, at least). Among many others she voices Commander Shepard in Mass Effect, which will always make her the absolute GOAT to me

21:00 Those robots belong to Talon, basically the bad guys of the story: Reaper (formally was in OW and Blackwatch), Moira, Sombra, Widow and more. 33:25 The fans of the lore of OW have waited a VERY long time for Junker Queen to arrive because, everyone of us technically knew her (when playing in Junker Town and arriving to the first checkpoint you'll hear her voice, and the last checkpoint is her treasure room & throne).

It is Matt Mercer, yes, that voices Cassidy (or Mccree as called in the cinematic)

btw you really should watch the origin stories❤they are short anime that reveals the background of many heroes

39:36 Roadhog is there as well!! Also; 40:04 "how does she end up with Overwatch?" She's not part of Overwatch. A decent amount of characters in the game are either in the enemy group Talon or are part of other organizations and teams or just on their own

I've always had a crush on Sombra as dumb as that sounds. She talks, walks and acts like an actual person. Not like a video game character like some characters do. Her actress pulls off such a natural grace that translates to in game

The Junkrat/Roadhog one looks different because it wasn't made with the same animation engine. It used the in-game engine, because it wasn't an "official" cinematic, it was made to advertise Junkertown as a map when it came out.

29:37 fun fact, Sombra and Raze has the same voice actress :3

“aw shoot that’s raw, oh she put it inside him” 💀

The one with Hanzo and the Dragon at the end is from Heroes of the Storm, a League of Legends type game made by Blizzard, that has characters from -all- of their games, the dragon is Alexstrasza from World of Warcraft

Bro the Reinhardt cinematic is my favorite because of how emotional it is in such a short time and how invested in the characters that are only seen a little bit

Always great to see people's reactions to these classics. It'd be awesome if you could react to the world of warcraft cinematics! Same studio, same quality (better on some), insane stories. Basically the best cinematics in the video game industry in my opinion!

Can we take a moment to just respect the pure driving skills Brig has XD considering hardt was in the back of the truck

I love how Matt Mercer voices Mcree and I love how you knew it because not a lot of people do

hope you react to the origin story they are really good and get you more info on the world and character lore

funfact incase you didnt know or no one said it. Kiriko's mother in addition to training Kiriko, also trained Genji and Hanzo when they were all kids

fun fact, incase someone doesnt know. Kiriko's mother trained Genji Hanzo and Kiriko :)

Cassidy always rizzing everybody

For reference Kiriko's mom is the one who taught Genji and Hanzo how to fight.

First, thank you for rewinding it to rehear Brigitte's name. Not that I didn't know how to pronounce her name or anything, it's just has a great angle. Second OW2 Zero Hour cinematic takes place after all the other ones. Winston set out the recall, Mei made it out of Antarctica, Reinhardt returned his OW pin to his master who died on the throne.

bro heard sombra have a hispanic accent and called her “the reyna of this game” thats wild 😭😭

The two at the end with genji and hanzo were cross-promotional cinematics for Blizzard's MOBA Heroes of the Storm where Genji/Hanzo/Dva are playable characters. Genji and Dva are fighting Diablo from the Diablo games and Hanzo is fighting Alexstrazsa from World of Warcraft

The short cinematic which is a quick cinematic compilation of some of the heroes including Mercy, was when overwatch 1 released.

If I remember correctly Sombras voice actor also voices raze from valorant:D! Which is pretty cool

0:36 Y'know I'm glad I subscribed last video purely because of that Hylian shield in the background.

Matt Mercer does Voice Cole Cassidy (formerly McCree). :) Also his line "Well Ashe, you never could turn down a good tip" kind of has some undertones to me.. Maybe just me though lol

The genji and hanzo videos near the end are promotional material for Heroes of the Storm, another blizzard game. they are not canon to the overwatch lore.

I love how all the things that happen in the shorts are in the game maps, like Reinhardt friend is in the chair in the game and the robots that were left there are there too

I’m not sure a lot the chronological order is exact chronological

Wow I just saw the part 1 rn and u upload the next one 5 hours ago bless up 🙏🏼

Yep, Matt Mercer indeed. And Ashe is the legendary Jennifer Hale.

Theres one animation u missed, cartoon about Doomfist! It was made in anime-style

actually the second to last one（the one with dragon and magic）is the trailor of a moba game from blizzard

I know this vid is pretty old but I did want to say the stuff with the dragons and demons and stuff was not canon. It was promotional material from a crossover. I dunno why it was included honestly

16:32 LMAO man really said '"WHY IS HE SO HOT??"

WE NEED AN OVERWATCH MOVIE

There's a new one up for Sojourn. There should be another one up every two seasons with every new hero release.

You really needed the shorts. The shorts add much more context. Like you missed the Doomfist short which is actually the animation style they’re using for the new Genesis short-series.

11:45 It definitely is Matt Mercer! Good ear and I've loved the reaction (I'm a new overwatch player as well and have been loving all the lore and comics)

You should check out the cutscenes from archives story missions too. The one in Rialto and Havana especially. And well, the new PvE lore as well. They bring a lot of interesting info. (The Rialto one showed Blackwatch, the sister organisation to Overwatch that Reaper, Cassidy and Genji were a part of and that got Overwatch shut down in the end). Also, do check out the comic! It explains all that wasn't mentioned in the cinematics (these and the more anime ones)

The Doomfist anime one and the new 3 part anime is great. The dragon and hanzo one and the genji dva one was for heroes of the storm - blizzards crossover moba

where is every other person in this town? Blizzard: not enough CGI budget.

Today we have cinematic about Sojorn, you need to see that! Thanks for the video :)

no matter how hated he is in game, genji will always be the GOAT of the cinematics. single handedly dunking on hanzo, and then single handedly dunking on the null sector bots at the getting back together of overwatch

I really wish D.Va was more serious in the game, like she is in her cinematic.

Just so you know those two last cinematics arent Canon, they're like collaboration with other games

Yeah idk which compilation or playlist you were using, but I don't think this one really did Overwatch justice. The trailer where Tracer and Winston save the two kids at the museum was supposed to be THE first debut of Overwatch ever, and while the Bastion trailer is amazing and all, I feel like the original first trailer feels the most introductory. Also, this compilation/playlist also included two trailers from Heroes of the Storm, a crossover MOBA game that Overwatch characters made a special appearance in (trailer where Genji and D.va fight a big demon thing, trailer where Hanzo fights the dragon lady). They're still very cool trailers, but whoever put them in a playlist with all the other Overwatch cinematics failed to consider that people reacting to them blind are gonna have no clue what's going on

People who do the compilation should really put context for the 3 last before kiriko. They are character announcements for heroes of the storm

watch the doomfist cinematic pls

The crust is def better than the apples in an apple pie you so right lol

"without a scratch" yeah right

by the why for the rein short brig is actully his god daugther, she the acutal daugther to torbiorn. torb and rein are like best freinds

9:30 YES YES YES RHATS WHAT IM SAYING I GET U

Next up is arcane and maybe some of the league cinematics

the dragon girl fighting with hanzo is from World of Warcraft and the red monster is from Diablo. I think blizzard want to bring all their game into a multiverse XD

Ayyy my name is Jordan too. You need to watch all the Overwatch Origin Story animations too!!

i acutally dont understand why they never gave mercy a cinematic, knowing how popular she is

1:07:24 You can't be telling Blizzard to calm down when waited 4 years for this

The ending with Ashe scene, not everyone got to see that part.

For honour is my favourite one

There’s one more cinematic souljorn

the last two before the kiriko one are from a different game i think world of warcraft. its another game from blizzard i think basically just the universes from their other games mixed into that one game.

The ones with a demon monster thing and a dragon are cross over type stuff

Overwatch was formed to combat the Omnic invasion, a race of military-grade machines that turned on humanity. Gabriel Reyes and Jack Morrison were brought on for an experimental project that gave them enhanced abilities. Reyes would be Soldier 24, and Morrison would be Soldier 76 becoming good friends during training. Morrison would become the leader of Overwatch all throughout the Omni-Crisis, much to Reyes' chagrin. After the crisis, that jealousy only grew, and Reyes formed Blackwatch, a covert group that operated within Overwatch. Reyes recruiting the former leader of a notorious gang of outlaws (McCree, now Cassidy), the wounded son of the top Yakuza Clan in Japan (Genji Shimada), a scientist that had been kicked out of Overwatch for not being ethical in her research (Moira), and several others. They took on several missions that could be deemed illegal. Spying on allied nations, going into countries where they were not wanted, killing high ranking officials, such as the leader of the Shimada Clan Yakuza. Reyes also allowed Moira to conduct an experiment on himself. Morrison constantly tried to reign Blackwatch in, causing Reyes and Morrison to butt heads. During one such argument, a terrorist organization that sought the destruction of Overwatch, detonated the HQ with both men inside. The media attention from the illegal missions and the destruction of their base led to the rest of the world outlawing Overwatch activity, shutting down the organization and disbanding them. The world thought Reyes and Morrison were dead. Reyes, however, thanks to the experimentations of Moira, would take on a new name. Reaper. Morrison, blaming himself for what had happened and wanting to find out who had targetted them, became a masked vigilante going by his old designation, Soldier: 76. On the other side of backstories, Kiriko, Genji, and Hanzo all grew up together, with Kiriko's mother teaching them the way of the sword. The brothers were part of the powerful Shimada Clan, their father their leader. Genji used his family's wealth and status to essentially be the ultimate party boy, leaving all the responsibilities of the family to Hanzo. When their father was killed, the elders of the clan wanted Hanzo to lead, but he wanted to do so with his brother at his side. He tried to convince him to become more responsible, but Genji refused. Hanzo felt that Genji had brought dishonor to the Clan, so he attacked him. Hanzo proved the better swordsman, leaving Genji in critical condition. Hanzo thought he had slain his brother. This would cause the final downfall of the clan, allowing the Hashimoto Clan to move in. Genji survived with the help of Doctor Angela Ziegler, best known as Mercy. She put his body back together using cybernetics, and he warred within himself about being more machine than man. He joined Blackwatch because he saw no other option. He would, however, eventually find himself at a monastery, where he met Zenyatta, an Omnium guru who preached that human and machine were all part of the same world. Genji found himself there, coming to find peace in what he had become.

you should watch the origin story animations, theyre super basic, but give you a really good idea of where people lie in the universe

You gotta react to the Overwatch origin stories now that you've finished these

Sombra's VA is also the VA for Raze in valorant lol

This man took out a whole dragon with dragonstrike and mine won't even kill a Mercy.

There is a 2D doomfist one

you should watch the origin stories whenever you get a chance to

I love Kiriko so much. I'm just pissed they haven't made her a funko pop for me to spend my money ):

4 guns on the head of the robot - please imagine that he had a helmet (shame...)

you missed moira cinematic, ana, doomfist, rammattra and sigma

Mccree was busted out of jail by Reaper and he didnt go with Echo cause hes a wanted for escaping jail.

Next, the Overwatch Origins

Some of these shorts aren't from Overwatch. In heroes of the storm they mix universes and that's why some overwatch characters show up in their shorts. It's not canon in Overwatch but they added it cause it shows some of the overwatch characters. These videos are pretty old, there should be some better video or playlist

The one with genii and that monster isn’t lore accurate it was jus a lil crossover for overwatch and Diablo same w the Hanzo one right after it

Rein is prob more of a godfather to brig most likely. Or just a really lovin mentor. Late comment but yeah lol

watch origin story is really good

forgot doomfist bro

React to all the origin stories!!!

Can we get a reaction to the doomfist cinematics.

10:15 changing the name was stupid. The only people who could ever see that real life man as McCree are way too hyper-fixated on drama.

Rein cinematic remains the best

46:40 waste a design? a police officer design? ummm???

why are they ginanourmos because they are ripped off from Astertes :)))

Do you think you’ll be playing the new pve???

I beg you play JQ

Overwatch came first and was better then Valorent in my opinion. >:3
