i actually think this is not dark enough, which is really surprising considering how tragic the back story of mei is.. i guess they dont want to make it too dark coz people of all ages play this game.
It's as simple as this: This was a short that did not warrant a lot of cheering. This one was meant to hit you in the heart, and the "lack" of reaction actually shows it working. People were invested in what was happening, the plight of Mei's loss of not only her fellow team members, but the only friend she had left in Snowball. This video was meant to invest you in the character, not make you get up and scream for joy. Look at it like this, no one watches a depressing movie and starts clapping wildly, so why would they with a somber story such as this?
Atlink Maybe because of the way it ended she revived snowball and went to join Winston and Overwatch? Maybe they where showing Blizzard they enjoyed the short even though it was dark and depressing.
Can we talk about how Mei was frozen for 9 years, finds out her friends are dead, invents a freeze ray, and still tries to show up for work despite being stranded in the arctic?
Meeba it couldn't have recharged at the ecopoint because Mei used the rest of his battery. The only way he survived was because of mei's solar panel thingy
Totally got the feels on this one. People don't realize how close snowball almost bit the bullet. With a completely drained battery and no life support to protect the little guy from the extreme cold the hardware could have been damaged, leaving the data corrupted and no more snowball.
The robot was the only thing keeping her company, and it was probably the only thing humouring them for all that time and preventing them from going crazy on all that isolation, you could clearly see how much she was attached to it. Like when someone that is hurt says "Go without me" on a movie, even though you know they have a better chance of surviving if that person stays behind, and even though you know they will be fine in the end, the act of sacrificing and separation is sad, that's just human nature.
"Blizzard, give us more lore" "Blizzard, we wanted action why'd you give us lore" just stfu, make up your mind and appreciate the hard work that was put into this short ffs
Thought that was quite dumb, it's a robot, and it can recharge later. He even gets recharged somehow later before Mei leaves, it's not like she'll be alone for the trip
I love how quiet the audience is in this one really respectful really respectful as much as I love a good Encore though I mean everyone loves them to react big but you know what it shows that they're immersed here and trying to make the experience great for everyone else saving the Applause to the end
I love it how the crowd was crying out "NO!" when Snowball was looking at his charge station. This short never made me feel much emotion but when they said that made me a bit sad.
its not that they scream at everything randomly, they scream when something cool/unexpected happens. if you dont like it, enjoy the youtube video they will eventually upload on their official overwatch channel. in fact, when people show their emotions by screaming/crying it means that they are enjoying the show, and besides that, it shows that they are human, not robots. its like watching horror movies: the whole idea is to get you scared - you cant enjoy the movie if you're not scared
I'm rewatching all crowd reactions to OW animated shorts. They are always watching it in silence and are interested. Only in Moiras reveal they were gasping and stuff like that when they saw that she can both heal and damage with her ult.
omg they added fake snow at the end, that got me feeling so sad. Back when it felt that blizzard still cared enough to try and immerse us into the story, back when it was still just nerds making games and coming together with the community. Holy shit 😭 We might never experience that again
Nah. The machines malfunctioned from time and batteries dying. And if they recharged on solar power but the storm went on for so long they couldn't charge, that's also a factor.
This was the best animated short I have ever seen idk why every1 hates this just stop hating and pay attention to what's happening Mei just lost every1 she knew and still never gave up just think about that ... Ps . Totally a Mei main now xD
i know its old but snowball says mei when she wakes him and also he doesnt know if she will succeed and be able to recharge him/remember and bring him along he just trusts her and gives her the chance so the he knows he can be recharges argument is stupid
@@Voltaic01 i know its old but snowball could have died from the cold too. Without energy he couldnt warm his parts and the could easily get broken from the cold
Such a wonderful short, sad but uplifting at the same time. Honestly though I'd like to see a reaction video from the front of the audience, how many people were actually brushing tears away I wonder? Shut up! I'm not crying, you're crying!
the only reason that there isnt as much reaction in this short as there is others is because it plays at your emotions more than just shooty-shooty boom-boom like other shorts
Remy Blas they were engrossed in the story. It's not an action packed character reveal like Sombra's. This is the right reaction to this short, it's not like the deaths in the short were any reason to cheer.
And from this day forward, in order to honor her fallen friends who died frozen in their sleep, Mei would freeze anyone she encounters and put an icicle through their head.
DEAD!!!! FAMILY!!! DEAD!!! EVERYONE DEAD!!!!! GADGETS AND INTERNET?.... me: wait wait wait wait no no nononononono!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!! Goddanngit my history browser FU*******
I love this short. The animation is stunning, its suprisingly dark, and it nails the feeling of isolation.
i actually think this is not dark enough, which is really surprising considering how tragic the back story of mei is.. i guess they dont want to make it too dark coz people of all ages play this game.
Toki Kuro its still a dramatic twist from the light hearted stuff we are used too in the overwatch universe
Toki Kuro they gotta keep that rating tho
the animation is superb
don't you mean "iceolation"
take a shot everytime the camera unfocuses
Emblum How many have you killed
XD
Get drunk
This is suicide xD
holy fuck I Rrrrrrrrrrrreally tried

they cheered cause the ending was happy she got out and survived so did snowball😊 but I see you're prospective
Good point
Can we talk about how Mei was frozen for 9 years, finds out her friends are dead, invents a freeze ray, and still tries to show up for work despite being stranded in the arctic?
*Antarctic ;)
Shut the fuck up
oh sassyyyy
u wot m8?
Hank Hill Mei is surely a trooper lol.
And would also freeze her enemies and kill them with icicles from this day on, despite extreme cold causing the deaths of her friends.
Blizzard made me cry over a tiny flying robot 😭😭
Seth HND7 but it can recharge lol??

Oh yeah and those other 6 or so people forget about them! Now snowball a rechargeable robot going flat was so depressing

I kinda cried 😂😂😂👌
I mean, I'm fairly certain a robot capable of creating blizzards would be perfectly fine in the cold.
*mei's friends turn out to be dead:*
me: oh no
*robot runs out of battery:*
me: *OHMAGAWDSNOWBALLNUU*
Catsacue Gaming theyre saying that THEY cried more. not Mei.
"Blizzard, give us more lore"
"Blizzard, we wanted action why'd you give us lore"
just stfu, make up your mind and appreciate the hard work that was put into this short ffs
They didn't give any lore we didn't already know that matters
you're telling me different people want different things? that's insane!
dip.C i don't think he is talking about different people.
dip.C sae people, dum dum
Well said!
4:22 where boys cried
7:26 where men cried
lmao

Lucios, you said that as though you invented that information?
@@Lucios1995 He recharges on solar energy, but he was "dead" 'til mei could leave the base
?
The snow in the room at the end is a nice touch.
I love how quiet the audience is in this one really respectful really respectful as much as I love a good Encore though I mean everyone loves them to react big but you know what it shows that they're immersed here and trying to make the experience great for everyone else saving the Applause to the end
rise and shine Mr Freeman rise and shine
Not that I w-would imply that you were s-sleeping on t-the job...
Still waiting for Half-Life 3...
@@wolfcatgamingAj We got half Life 1,5 though
Mr *Freezeman* ..
.. im leaving..
Better than frozen
Efrain Gomez Jr lol SO TRUE😂😂😂😂😂👌👌😹😹😹👏👏👏👏👍👍👍
I secound this
They didn't freeze though
Can argue with that
I love it how the crowd was crying out "NO!" when Snowball was looking at his charge station. This short never made me feel much emotion but when they said that made me a bit sad.
its so nice that for once a crowd isnt screaming at everything randomly, like anywhere else. gotta love the germans for that. just enjoying the show.
Dobby but its awesome when ppl scream lol

Dobby Crowds are for hyping shit up!!!! TF you talking about fool!!!! This crowd mad boring!!!!
Morwar it disturbs those of us who just wants to enjoy it though..no need to disturb people with needles screams
I'm rewatching all crowd reactions to OW animated shorts. They are always watching it in silence and are interested. Only in Moiras reveal they were gasping and stuff like that when they saw that she can both heal and damage with her ult.
This short was so emotional, such a tragic story that teaches you to keep moving even through tough times. Loved it!
"The world needs us now, more than ever! Are you with me?"
no. i'm good here homie
Yup
DazedHyperion Yes, Winston i am with you. Ps. Sorry for responding late I’ve been a sleep for 3 years
Mei is a fucking trooper
"But we haven't really touched scientists" Me: WHAT ABOUT WINSTON?!?!
Apinity ExMachina "I'm a scientist" as said by Winston during the animated short haha
xXZeroXx "He's both" says the lore XD
Apinity ExMachina he's confusing haha
I mean he is shown fighting a lot more than sciencing :v
omg they added fake snow at the end, that got me feeling so sad. Back when it felt that blizzard still cared enough to try and immerse us into the story, back when it was still just nerds making games and coming together with the community.
Holy shit
😭
We might never experience that again
Why did this guy use autofocus when he could of used regular focus and we could actually see
Grant Edwards IKR it's so blurry
I love how the crowd had more of a reaction to Snowball dying than all Mei's friends dying
It doesn't matter how many times I've seen it, I'll always cry 😭😭
Wait, what if leaving the sensors on caused the machines to malfunction?
Sеnpаi I believe that is what caused it
So mei killed her entire team??
Sеnpаi yes basically. She didn't mean to though
Nah. The machines malfunctioned from time and batteries dying. And if they recharged on solar power but the storm went on for so long they couldn't charge, that's also a factor.
They each malfunctioned one by one, and meis would have if the message didnt come through before hers would fail.
I can't watch this without tearing up, and I've watched it about ten times now
I love the snow they had falling! So creative!
This was the first short i watched and it made me go and buy overwatch. It made me cry so fucking hard. I will always love this short no matter what.
When mei get out of her pod, she says "Why is it so cold?"
Another name for this short: Satan accidentally kills all of her friends
10:24 when the floor of the League of Legends room above opens and *salt* beginns to fall
IKR people are going to start getting poisoned by the toxicity
WHY is the Crowd Not crying and drowning in tears this Short is so emotional.
Imagine how old the toothbrush toothpaste and tea was
This was the best animated short I have ever seen idk why every1 hates this just stop hating and pay attention to what's happening Mei just lost every1 she knew and still never gave up just think about that ...
Ps . Totally a Mei main now xD
Eeveeh I agree. this one is easily the best.
i know its old but snowball says mei when she wakes him and also he doesnt know if she will succeed and be able to recharge him/remember and bring him along he just trusts her and gives her the chance so the he knows he can be recharges argument is stupid
@@Voltaic01 i know its old but snowball could have died from the cold too. Without energy he couldnt warm his parts and the could easily get broken from the cold

Shut up! I'm not crying, you're crying!
She’s so precious
snowball MVP right there.
Bruh that snow effect was epic.
This short makes me cry everytime
If Mei wearing the Red jacket was a Skin, it would have to be in the Origins edition of Overwatch.
It is a skin. It's call ecopoint Antarctica
Bradley M no shit bro it's 2 years later
the only reason that there isnt as much reaction in this short as there is others is because it plays at your emotions more than just shooty-shooty boom-boom like other shorts
This short always makes me cry 😢
I cry every time
I know I’m late for this but did anyone notice that Mei was wearing summer games pajamas?
Pov you are drunk trying to keep focus
I watched this I cryed so much
Don't you mean crowd's "lack of reaction"?
Remy Blas they were engrossed in the story. It's not an action packed character reveal like Sombra's. This is the right reaction to this short, it's not like the deaths in the short were any reason to cheer.
Mary Rozsi Dapul i agree with ypu
meis frinds died and her robot sacrifficed its battery! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, are u happy?
FYI you don't NEED to cheer/ shout throughout the short/ trailer especially when character(s) are speaking!
Why does everyone assume I meant they should be cheering? I never said anything that would suggest I think they should be cheering.
everyone is arguing over whether the short is good but I just want the camera to stay focused
Mei then: *cute and innocent*
Mei now: "Oh my fucking god they have a Mei are you kidding?!"
I cri every tim 😭😭 it’s so sad
Rise and shine mister freeman,rise and shine.....
Sorry,but that is what i was thinking when i see the name of the tittle.
Hows the camera having a hard time focusing on something so far away?? I'm assuming it cuz the guy in the corner of the screen
I Miss those Shorts. They were like 6-8 mins long explaining the story by itself and now the shorts are 1-2 mins long. like tf?
Girl I’d be tired standing up
This is the best short. I mean really. It is. theres finally more to it than fuckin explosions
Just if this dude knew how to lock the focus
Favorite short!
Such a great short... BUT GOD FOCUS THE FREAKING CAMERA ALREADY!!!
Rise And Shine
Everything's Not Fine!
Goddamn the focus
And from this day forward, in order to honor her fallen friends who died frozen in their sleep, Mei would freeze anyone she encounters and put an icicle through their head.
Probably.
Y’all crying over a robot while im crying over gabriel reyes betraying all of his old friends and stalking his own family on christmas.

Too soon?
I'm not crying...... I'm not fucking crying ... (cries)
1:02
"Mei."

God I kinda cried there a little when snowball died snowball was my only favorite character there XD
Is it that hard to stop the autofocus once you get a clear picture?
Meis story is so sad
THIS SHIT MADE ME CRY 😭💚
all it takes is one step forward, or a zoom...the focusing is agitating.
7:58 Cat
