Rein is genuinely a great role model. He learns from his mistakes, he cares more for the people around him than himself, and most of all, he is kind until he can’t be All of which he learned from Balderich, ofc. Another character that I absolutely love. The crusaders were written very well for the short screentime they had
Hearing the supposed leak that Reinhardt was going to die in the story mode that we didn't get... on one hand I didn't want to believe it... but on the other hand, I could see how they were setting it up in the three missions we got. Playing through the 3 missions with him or as him, hearing his interactions, as well as the cutscenes with him, he loves being on the front lines, and wanting to feel useful. He's so impatient when they're trying to figure out what Null Sector is up to, and how they can remove the strange devices being attached to Omnics' heads, having to be stopped when he tries simply ripping it off one's head. Also the strange... Omnic prejudice he has, not toward Bastion, but the regular Omnics who are just civilians, saying they're simple machines that they could just... load a backup of their personality from a computer or something. Granted I'm sure it's more out of ignorance than any actual hatred for Omnics, but it feels so off coming from Reinhardt of all characters, and not someone like Zarya. Something that isn't brought up often is how Reinhardt was born a Crusader and warrior... but when Overwatch kicked him out, what kind of life could he live? He was meant for battle... he couldn't just retire in peace, he's not about that life. He needs to be on the front lines, and the only worthy death is dying in battle. I imagine at some point he would've sacrificed himself in a similar manner to his master, and passing the torch to Brigitte, his Squire.
I always imagined Reinhardt dying one day the same way Balderich did: Sacrificing himself for the life of many others, maybe even thousands or millions of people. I imagined a situation where a place had to be blown up, but the person setting it off would not have the time to get out, and him volunteering for it. Maybe even revealing to the others that he had a fear of getting dementia or something similar in his old age and deciding that would absolutely NOT be the way he'd go.
I imagine reins death would have been similar to balderichs. Now let me explain: As it is mentioned, rein serves as the mentor to the youngsters and i can imagine dva reminding him an awful lot of his young self. Back In OW1 she had a lot of voicelines about getting the most kills, APM, etc. which reminded Reinhardt of his own need for glory when he was younger. So he specifically focused on her, trying to teach her that as a frontline-soldier their top priority has to be protecting the team. dva however (despite respecting him as her senior officer) brushed his lessons of as nonsensical mumbling of an old man. Even after reinhardt told her about the battle of eichenwalde (specifically balderichs sacrifice) she had no change of heart. Come their mission together: dva once again started chasing personal glory, which got her mech destroyed. As a consequence Reinhardt was forced to sacrifice himself so he could save her. After his death dva realizes rein was trying to stop her from repeating his mistakes and swears the crusaders oath. Before anyone says anything: This is nothing official, just an idea of mine.
I started my Overwatch journey as a Reaper main until i played Rein, his gameplay, his interactions, his charisma, i loved everything about him the moment i started playing him, then his short dropped and i couldnt stop crying, i love this giant german teddy bear so much to the point i got a tattoo of him, he is on the top of my inspirations list and always will be there, thank you for this video ❤️ from one (full time) tank player to another, truly thank you
Rien always was my favourite character, even when i just started playing i really liked him. He is really fun as a person and as a playable character. And i really appreciate that he seems simple gameplay and character wise, but in reality he is very deep. You know what they say, don't judge a book by its cover. To honor and glory, my friends! P.S. Your videos and chanel is VERY underrated, they deserve so much more!
I really believe that (from reading the comics) Rein is going crazy due to repeated trauma, and Brig is there to both protect him from the world, but also protect the world from Rein. And Brig is trying to keep Rein's deteriorating mental state hidden from everyone else. Start reading the comics (especially Dragon Slayer) with that idea, and listening to their voice-lines, and you really start to see that.
It really isn't he still plays the same and all that only characters like kiri, venture, Jq, venture, Lw, illari, ram, and others are the OW2 characters
Great Video dude your comentory makes ir very good with right source material and time line i hope you continue to make these i look forward to them. Peace out 😊😊😊😊
Reinhardt's cinematic is still to this day the best one created by Blizzard. Saying that as a Genji and Hanzo main. I teared up a little bit when I first watched "Honour and Glory" and still catch feels when I watch it. The only things that are more tragic than a Reinhardt's past is current state of a game. Game's balance is so bad that Rein is bottom tier tank (Shimada bros are just in a Mariana trench at that point...)

If they ever decide to get back to it they are gonna do that

NGL everytime i watch the reinhardt story vid, I cry. Its beautiful, sad and wonderful all around.
I felt that T_T it was the first time I ever cried at any sort of video
HONOR! JUSTICE! REINHARDT! REINHARDT! REINHARDT!
HONOR! JUSTICE!- 🗣🔊Beer! 🍺 🔥
honour! justice! cum- yes!
Live with honour

I really like the idea ngl
He was just a Warrior. Trapped forever in a cycle of endlessly honouring his duty.

Mythic algorithm pull

Other people: playing heroes because of their abilities and play style.
My reason playing Rein: LORE
“Be their shield”
“HAHAHAHA don’t worry my friends I will be your shield”
Always so endearing to me ;)
Love this German man ^^
so sad the PVE didnt continue. but i definitly see Rein getting killed off my Ramatra or something
Live with honor.
Die with Glory.... Old Friend
LIVE WITH HONOR
AND DIE WITH GLORY!
Kind of odd we havent gotten an omnic crisis reskin of Orisa's 0R-14 skin.

Daam. i love reinhardt, like a average tank player, also like a lore enjoyer
You NEED more subscribers, this video was an amazing explanation on one of Overwatch's best characters!

Please please please (if you have a chance) do one of these videos for Sigma. He’s so beautiful as a character
I'll add him to the list! Thanks so much for the suggestion
@@ALGMAN316 thank you for the good videos!
Great video man!!! Really enjoyed it!
11k views for this video is way too little the way you narrate these stories is amazing
Rein and Ram are arguably the best written stories of overwatch prove me wrong
I don't play overwatch but this guy inspired me
it's enough to make a grown man cry lol
Do you want to see my muscles?
saying hes an overwatch "2" character is a dishonour to rein
It really isn't he still plays the same and all that only characters like kiri, venture, Jq, venture, Lw, illari, ram, and others are the OW2 characters
As a Rein main, nothing feels as good as saving your teammates with your shield.
PLEASE MANNN MAKE MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS THEY ARE SOO FUN PLSSSSS
A NEW SUBSCRIBERRRR HEREE
Great Video dude your comentory makes ir very good with right source material and time line i hope you continue to make these i look forward to them. Peace out 😊😊😊😊
Live with honor... And die with glory...
Balderich reminds me of my Father
I WOULD KILL _(mauga)_ FOR A REINHARDT MOVIE.

0:11 Nice touch
I would love to see old rein dashing an drifting with a hammer, blitzing through enemies hammering away.
Great video!
LIVE WITH HONOR DIE WITH GLORY
0:52 "-in a time when the hypocratic oath had been downgraded to a hypocratic suggestion"
Weak. Humanity is weak-
Who are you?! Identify!
goated video!
Would love to see you do a video on reaper
Ill add him to the list:D
im just happy he dont suck rn
I fully aggre so fucked up that he cant hit a straight shot on basketball in spawn
The last crusader and others died in the battle of Eichenwald?
Lady*
yep! Reinhardt was the only crusader to survive Eichenwalde
Who said Reinhardt was loathed?
This makes me irrationally angry that Blizzard wrapped the campaign >:(
