32:12 Ok i know this is long but. Widowmaker's backstory is actually so damn sad and tragic. in her former life, Widowmaker was married to Gérard Lacroix, an Overwatch agent spearheading operations against the Talon terrorist organization. After several unsuccessful attempts to eliminate Gérard, Talon decided to change its focus to his wife, Amélie. Talon operatives kidnapped her and subjected her to an intense program of neural reconditioning. They broke her will, suppressed her personality, and reprogrammed her as a sleeper agent. She was eventually found by Overwatch agents, apparently none the worse for wear, and returned to her normal life. Two weeks later she killed Gérard in his sleep. Her mission complete, Amélie returned to Talon, and they completed the process of turning her into a living weapon. Slowing her heart beat and supressing all of her emotions expect when she kills. There is also the fact that every christmas she leaves flowers to his grava meaning her old peronality is still in there.

Fun fact. Ana has a sleep dart. When Pharah ults she says, "Justice rains from above!" If Ana sleeps an ulting enemy Pharah, she says, "It looks like Justice could use a nap." Thought that was funny / cute from the mom / daughter perspective.

The Overwatch cinematic are always top notch.

For me, the lore of this game is what made me a fan and kept me invested. I like the gameplay as is, but I'm absolutely hyped for the upcoming PVE Story mode! I've bought official books, short stories and comics, because I love this fictional world and it's characters so much. These cinematics are a testament to the quality of this games worldbuilding. I hope you react to more Overwatch content in the future! My suggestion is all the Hero Gameplay trailers.

fun fact: they made doomfist after everyone saw that intro cinematic in the museum and wanted him as a playable character

bastion has ptsd from war, which is why the "gunshots" freaked him out. love your streams and hope your move goes well

1:06:06 Those were Genji, Jesse McCree/Cole Cassidy (his name was change) and Garbriel Reyes the man who would later be know by the name Reaper. You can even see the tests being done at 1:05:27. They were part of Blackwatch, Blackwatch was the covert ops section of the Overwatch team. Whereas Overwatch was a public group of heroes, Blackwatch engaged in secret missions that often included assassinations, torturing enemies, and other morally questionable actions. Later on Moira and Garbriel would go on to betray Overwatch Genji and Cole didn't.

I just love the small detail in the Soldier 76 short, at the end when he's watching her walk back home. Means he made sure she got home safe before he went on!

One thing overwatch does well is represent all cultures. Even things like ultimate voicelines. Some heroes ults are said in their native language

So some backstory to the Bastion short - part of why Overwatch was originally created was the Omnic Crisis - basically self-aware AI robots who rebelled against their human creators and waged war against them, and Bastion units were basically the Omnics' frontline forces. His mission had been to attack Stuttgart, Germany, but Bastion himself was damaged in the battle, basically knocked out for over 10 years in the forest. So that was the reason for the waypoint when he woke up, he was resuming what he believed to be his current mission, not knowing that peace between the Omnics and humans had been achieved.

YOU gotta do a part 2 of this. You totally missed out on the best overwatch animated called "Dragons"! That is literally and will always be the best animation overwatch has ever released

Hey! So i believe they didn't just "leave" Balderich in his armor in the castle. I think it's tradition for the Crusaders to be "buried" as they fell in their armor. Effectively becoming a monument to their sacrifice.

The ammount of times you called Ana (Pharas mother) phara made me giggle

Basically every time you bring up Pharah, it’s actually Ana. Pharah was a child during the time of the original Overwatch team.

the shorts were what drew people to the game entirely. I seriously remember watching the first one when it came out and NEEDED to see more. It's sad they never came out with a story mode.

The Overwatch cinematics are kinda like Tales from the Borderlands (the original one as I haven't played the sequel yet). They're both written well enough that anyone with an open mind can enjoy them. Even without knowing anything about their respective series.

When Reinhardt screams "I'll be your shield!!", after watching Honor and Glory it hits different.

I guess someone must have mentioned it already, but Im gonan say it anyway. I think the Crusader's armor is literally their coffin as they fall in battle, They will just be left there in honor of the crusader.

Oh nah the diss to Reinhardt was unbelievable🗿

23:54 that’s the point. He’s the first character you’re supposed to play when you start Overwatch. Whenever you do the tutorial, you play as him. His whole kit was designed as those stereotypical soldiers that you’re supposed to play at first. He’s made to be easy.

22:25 That is Ana Amari Pharah's mother. 35:19 She is part of Talon. An international terrorist organization .Talon is comprised of a variety of individuals, each with their own goals and ideas. Through its leader Doomfist, its current manifesto is that humanity is made stronger through conflict. Consequently, Talon seeks to sow turmoil across the globe to strengthen the human race. 55:00 Yap that's Mei full name Dr. Mei-Ling Zhou, she is a Chinese climatologist and adventurer from Xi'an.

Heartfelt Reinhardt moment happens. Dang not me yelling at my screen "shut up! It's the lesson he is learning right now! You should know what it's like to be young and dumb; you're still there"

Loved your reactions to this & glad to see you get into the characters. I don't play it much anymore myself, but one thing Blizzard does well still is their Cinematics. You really feel for the characters as if you knew them for a long time. Also, Mei is of Chinese origin. Although in game she is an annoying character to fight she is still one of my favorites representing as someone who is also Chinese. Also her story like a lot of the others really had me in tears. I have to say also if you ever think of checking out Arcane even as some who has maybe played 2 games of League of Legends even I found the series worth watching. I find their lore interesting too even if the game isn't something I'd get into.

no matter how many times i watch it, mei's trailer always makes me cry.

Idk seeing the intro to the first game made me a little emotional, I didn't cry but I was sad. I guess it's because of memories.

50:20 You just triggered my PTSD. Fans waited YEARS for the entire song to be released and it came out last year.

I love Honor and Glory cinematic bc it shows where Reinhardt comes from and how he became a wise man

is nobody gonna comment on how he ate that kitkat!?

Man, this is indeed, Dreamwork/Disney quality!! And the anime style animation was amazing too!! I don't know much about Overwatch, so just based of that : I really like Mei, she's adorable and smart!! Her backstory is so sad, though! I also really love Tracer, she's so cool and funny! So yeah, I think for now, these two are my favorites!! I enjoy watching these! Great reaction, Blaze!!

i still cry every time to the beginning of the mei cinematic :( i feel so freaking bad for her

Bros takes on tank role are WILD

Mccree and Genji were a part of Blackwatch which was a branch of overwatch but they didnt join talon afterwards like the others

Aw, man. OVERWATCH! A shame I can't play it anymore.

Widowmaker has no choice in the matter when it comes to killing, Talon specifically programmed her to do exactly that. Her backstory is heartbreaking

Man, this brings me back to watching these for the first time. I was so excited to play the game. Overwatch was the FIRST game I've ever bought and immediately loved. . . and then I played it for a few years. I admire the effort that's gone into the game, but a part of me wished they put an inkling of that effort into an animated series. Arcane did it and absolutely annihilated that success standard. I'm still holding out hope they create a series. I think, if given time and attention, it could be stunning!

11:14 The security guard when he finally checks the camera: 😱I'm so getting fired 💀Also where the hell are these kid's parents??? lol

When he said widow and tracer would work together and tracer was in the crowd, it got me hitting the second assassin jfk theories

22:35 no, that's Ana, phara's mother. She was the second in command of overwatch, and member of the original strike team alpng soldier 76, reaper, Reinhard, and another one whose name I don't remember and has not been released yet.

Those are not cinematics but I am glad you included them along with the cinematics of the characters. Talking about the Origins.

I honestly want Alejandra (the girl Solider saves) to be a playable hero at some point. Like an older version of her.. Inspired by Solider to become a hero. :) Yep Ana is Pharah's mom.. The looks run in the family O.O

47:24 If you look closely, Sojourn is in here. I guess they teased her a bit early! I wonder if the rest will be future heroes, too..

The next part for this will be pretty good. It has my favorite story for any overwatch character (even though I don't know much lore about it).

one of the reasons why i love overwatch so much despite blizzard treating it like shit

Good reaction content. You added just enough to make it interesting

doomfist was teased for a while and in numbani they had banners of the former doomfists

"This could be the new Wall-E" No Wall-E will always triumph, He's the OG

The sentence wait widowmaker might be a bad guy is hilarious

Rewatching these clips with you made me cry and made me remember why I love Overwatch so much. Been playing since release 🧡

To answer your question about Mei, she is Chinese

46:44 Unfortunately not completely. Talon, the group Reaper works for, still got a lot of the Overwatch agent locations and went on to kill a lot of them

How many times did he call Ana - Pharah? 😂

the mei short always gets me 😭

i have been call , i must answer.... always. hit in the heart

44:46 “maybe i dont want a movie OG fans: nah we still waiting on that netflix deal

The better way to explain the war against bull sector is literally soldier and Reinhardt vs Bastion

Hammond hates Winston because Winston took their escape plan and left him behind.

The fact that most of these came out 6 YEARS AGO is shocking I am so god damn old. Edit: Also in the background at 9:25 that is elchienwald (Sorry if I butchered that😭)I also really recommend you watch the entire time line of overwatch!

not me constantly AND EVERYTIME hearing '…daddy is here' in Soldier's cinematic 🫡

Blaze im so happy youre watching these! Ive always loved these shorts and its so great to see you reacting to them!

"i can save so many lives" while mei being a hellspawn

every time i watch mei's i cry

The cinematic is why I main bastion, the poor guy didn't deserve what he got

"She's in the Arctic somewhere... like Antarctica" So close yet so far 😂

noway bro eat the kitkat like that💀💀

Since overwatch 2 went to 1 tank per team you really have to utilize map geometry better so ironically rein kinda plays like how he started in the cinematic but you do need to know your limits obviously. Absolutely love these cinematics though thank you for the videos and regardless of you try overwatch 2 out or not, Im glad you enjoy the cinematics, the best in the industry imo.

I love overwatch, And I seen most of this more then once, but its something with "rise and shine" I just can't stop crying, every d*mn time

Oh we definitely for sure need a movie still, or several. And a tv series, the lore and the story of Overwatch is absolutely astounding! So much expansive details to build on. The cinematics are ofc astonishing and beyond great. But want more! Blizzard is sleeping on this for sure, we know from Arcane that there is success they can get here.. but seems they are dragging their heels for whatever reason Oh well, atleast we have all the animatics lore videos and cinematics to come back to! Some comics too. Love this world

Been a fan and a player of Overwatch since 2020 and this is (mostly) the reason why.. IM TOO ATTACHED TO THE CHARACTERS DAMMIT!

OMG?? I CANT BELIEVE IT. JUST A WEEK AGO I WAS WONDERING IF YOU WOULD EVER GET INTO OVERWATCH AND OMG??

The Ana slander is crazy bruh

NOW UR GETTING INTO OVERWATCH? YUSSSS Edit 1 : Mei is Chinese and Doom is Nigerian hope this helps :D

the last one was too strong it made me cry and i don't even play that game...💖✨

2:54 is no one gonna address how he ate it?

I was not ready for that

blizzard doesn't disappoint with lore or game design, the only problem is the balancing!

I was waiting for you to see sombra xD

I have been called, I must answer. Always.

THANK YOU FOR CALLING HIM MCREE!! For some unknown reason they renamed him to cassidy

What’s sad is that Rein used to be able to do a good job shielding his team even agains bastions but with how much he’s been changed, he can hardly keep it up for over 10 seconds.

The mei one makes me cry everytime

1:16:10 Sumeru isn't meant to be based on africa, its based on arabian countries, and despite the stereotypes most people from those places are lighter skinned

If you need to be protected by your tank you're not playing right

Possible ow2 stream 👀

my man just kept talking and not listening in the best cinematic

The bird did what🤨

Sadly Overwatch 2 has not gotten as much love as far as cinematics that went into these. But yes I love these ones. I'd played Overwatch since its release. I hope they pick up the slack.

after the Reinhardt short came out, a LOT of Rein mains changed their game style, all coz of the emotional story...

57:01 [squid game intro music]

The Junker King didn't kill her family he kicked them out of her city and she did the same thing to him

I’m sorry but not splitting the KitKat before eating it is unforgivable 2:54 😢 still loved the reaction tho❤

The one you're referring to as Pharah is Ana, her mother.

I think everyone wishes they could do the hanging snipe as widowmaker in game

you should listen to overwatch mercy by tryhardninja it's a nice song and it will get you bopping your head along.

yeah episode 9 just came out last friday episde 10 this friday blaze hope you watch it when comes out

I use Ana as my Main...im a terrible healer with her but my damage be up there sometimes even better than the dps...nothing pleases me more than outsniping a Widowmaker lol

Yeahhh, that isn’t pharah man 😭 Ik u probably figured that out by now but it slightly bugged me. Love the reactions and energy tho, I enjoyed watching! 👍

Static Shock!!!

Amazing video man! Youre a great reactor!! (Not annoying like some) lol

You can't rebuild omnics, at least not these humanoid ones. They actually have sentience and consciousness and aren't AI. And if you get to Ramattra's origin later on, you'll learn that the omnic race is a single generation, all the omnics alive are the only ones left, forever, so if they die that's it
