Triple dragon head on Zarya skin is a reference to Zmey Gorynych - triple-headed dragon from Russian folklore The word "Polyanitsa" itself means "maiden warrior" btw
Wow i really couldn't expect a russian person here... But i gotta admit that as a russian i actually needed to find this comment or at least write it. Now the russian community of overwatch waits for a new folklore skin named "baba yaga".
As Russian I can say that Zarya's gun might be based on "Zmey Gorynych" (Gorynych snake) This is a dragon with 3 heads in slav mythology Sorry for bad eng though
Maybe someone will be interested Zarya has dragons on her weapon, as in Russian fairy tales there is a character "zmey (serpent) gorynych" this is a three-headed dragon and Zarya herself apparently refers to the Russian bogatyri (it's like heroes)
Wait, anyone else wondered if the Mercy epic skin was meant for Overwatch 2? The hair, the halo, the general clothes? Just reminds me a lot of the Overwatch 2 design for her.
What i really like about Mccree’s emote (which you might didn’t really see well) is that he likes laughs a bit while reloading, and as soon as his gun is loaded he looks up really angry like and serious. I really liked that and wanted to share it
I love how the zarya voice line is tilted as “the dog gnaws on the bone” and zarya says “the eyes are afraid, but the hands WORK” in Russian. Comon Jeff learn ur Russian
Not sure if this is 100% accurate with what the devs did, but it looks like the Zarya skin may have also been based on the Bogatyr, a trio of Russian warriors. It looks like the boots especially are very similar. Also, her gun is red and has 3 dragon heads on it, which may be a reference to zmey gorynych, a three-headed dragon from Russian mythology. Just a possible cool reference.

Andrew, when you get a lot box, the items inside them are determined before you open the box. So those gold boxes that you opened had the items generated before the event which is why you didnt get any new legos in them
Interesting possible reference in the widow skin: "White Feather" was the nickname of Carlos Hathcock, an elite USMC sniper in the Vietnam War, because he would put a white feather in his hat.
I just love your reacting and rating skins videos so much, every time a new event comes this is what inspires me and makes me want to play, you are the best andrew.
The Sigma apple icon is pretty nice if you think about it. Sigma and his gravity based skills and the whole story about Newton having the idea for his theory of gravity because an apple hit him on the head, and Sigma hitting his head somewhere way to hard.
All I want is just a UA-cam livestream of you playing the game, seeing you enjoy the game is just so fun and makes me want to play again despite constantly being put with throwers
Im honestly so glad you like the skins, I'm lovin the skins but my tl on twitter were shitting on the skins hard, not one person on my tl enjoyed all the skins at once, they were super critical of at least one skin. Which is okay, but it bummed me out to not share that excitement
btw the flower on widows chest is called "fleur de lys" which is on the Québec flag. It gets the flower on the flag since it was owned by the French during 1700s which is why it is the only Canadian province that speaks both french and english. Thats also why widow gets a skin with that design
A little detail about Zarya weapon. Those three dragon heads is a reference to russian mythology about Змее Горыныче (i don't know how translate that) it was a red dragon with three heads who guard Kalinov bridge and he kinda like Cerberus.
Reapers reaction to tiny gun makes me think of battle feild 1 when u pull out the kolibri and your guys just like the hell is this then proceeds to hold it between his fingers to shoot
The crazy part is that, when I got the new Zarya skin, I noticed a dragon head, and I thought "This could this be a nod to Zmey Gorynych?". Zmey Gorynych, or how it is actually written in Russian, Змей Горыныч, is a Russian folk tale character who is a walking, talking, three-headed dragon. Basically Ghidorah from Godzilla. Each head had a different personality and overall they were portrayed as pretty nice assholes who burned down villages once in a while. But I only saw one head, so I was skeptical. Then, Andrew here shows all three heads, and I'm like "FUCK YEAH! I WAS RIGHT!". So yeah.... cool video :)
You cant get the new items in the golden lootboxes cuz u bought them b4 the event started and the items arent actually generated when you open it but when you get it. So when you got it those items didnt exist yet
I’ve checked internet and a there is a possibility that Zarya’s skin is based on russian epics, where поляница or polyanitsa was a name for very strong women worriers. Of course armor like hers were used in medieval Russian fights, but I just feel that strong woman from the legends is more suits Zarya. And these research wasn’t done because I’m russian but because I’m curious
6:17 that's not the sight those are little leaver's to pull down the hammer thingy that makes it shot because that's a suppose to resemble a flintlock pistol
the sodier skin is probably based of american uniforms, who fought for independence (The independec war was in 1776). Tracers skin probably of english uniforms around the same time (who would have guessed?) widows is based of the Mousquetaires de la garde, who served the king. the uniform is mostly inspiered on how they looked in the movies

I was looking for this comment
Zmey is cool character :)
Wow i really couldn't expect a russian person here...

"All I want is the Bastion emote"- Andrew who already owns the bastion emote.
I’m not the only one who noticed
He got it on the second loot box but didn't realise
"I want to see the Soldier Weapon in Gold." - Andrew, who already saw the Soldier Weapon in Gold
What he wanted to see was it in first person , not in 3rd person
@@jamsd20 i know, but thats Not what he said.
Whenever there’s a new event, I’m more excited for Andrews reaction than the actual event
Same!!
Jup
In the case of this specific event, it's because all of the skins are dumb as hell, but Andrew's content remains top notch and fun as hell.
Same!
Same
fun fact: Mccree's emote actually reloads the gun
does it actually
IT FUCKING DOES
Sheeehs
OOOOO
I cant afford the emote or the lootboxes so.....

Sorry for bad eng though
You are really good at speaking english!
"Sorry for bad english"
Speaks fucking perfect english
8:35 3 dragon heads are probably based on Russian folklore monster Zmey Gorynych who is basically a 3-headed dragon.
When Lucio uses his ult with this new skin, the effect should be a heat wave
“I want the bastion emote too” literally hovering over it while it says ‘EQUIP’
The fact he rated the mercy higher than the Lucio makes me wanna cry
This makes me miss lootboxes because I was only able to get like 20 different unlocks before ow2
I have an idea for a torb skin. Lobster. His claw is a lobster claw, and he is wearing a lobster onesie
How much money do you want for that idea
i got one for him too, DANNY DEVITO
@@MadMaxow I need 50 more coins for the null sector Orisa skin soooooooo.......$10.00?
"Is this red?"
Oh, that's right I forget you're colorblind.
Andrew's "Nuuuuuu~!" is my new favourite sound
Maybe someone will be interested
Zarya has dragons on her weapon, as in Russian fairy tales there is a character "zmey (serpent) gorynych" this is a three-headed dragon and Zarya herself apparently refers to the Russian bogatyri (it's like heroes)
The reason they put 3 dragon heads on the gun skin is because in Russian Mythology there is a dragon with 3 heads - Zmey Gorynych.
Wait, anyone else wondered if the Mercy epic skin was meant for Overwatch 2? The hair, the halo, the general clothes? Just reminds me a lot of the Overwatch 2 design for her.

Andrew-torb would make a great skin! !!!!!
AND HIS NAME IS MAXIMILLIAN!! *John Cena soundtrack*
The Calvary line came from torn in a comic then tracer took it
genji's skin looked like he was overdressed for a sleepover.
Dude I’m loving these chills videos and if it means that you can upload more then that’s amazing
8:30 Here in Russia we have a fairytale dragon with three heads called Zmey Gorynych (translates like the mountainborn serpent)
Andrew proceeds to get no legendaries for 2 minutes and I love it
Andrew: “I just want the bastion emote”
Also Andrew: *Literally has the bastion emote*
Andrew: finaly a samurai genji skin
Bahu:T-T yeah great skin
The golden loot boxes were base, not archive boxes
I love how the zarya voice line is tilted as “the dog gnaws on the bone” and zarya says “the eyes are afraid, but the hands WORK” in Russian. Comon Jeff learn ur Russian

5:35 actually thats not british, it’s from the French revolution. The National guard had worn these.

when I saw Soldiers skin when the event came out I instantly felt like he was from Disney's Treasure Planet XD
Im honestly so glad you like the skins, I'm lovin the skins but my tl on twitter were shitting on the skins hard, not one person on my tl enjoyed all the skins at once, they were super critical of at least one skin. Which is okay, but it bummed me out to not share that excitement
Andrew, I love you, but I’m disappointed in how high you rated that merry skin XD
"Zen isn't a dive hero"
The Zen on my team:
Are you sure about that?
btw the flower on widows chest is called "fleur de lys" which is on the Québec flag. It gets the flower on the flag since it was owned by the French during 1700s which is why it is the only Canadian province that speaks both french and english. Thats also why widow gets a skin with that design

im glad to see you are enjoying overwatch slightly more andrew :) (even tho im not)
I forgot where I heard this, but when you get a loot box, the stuff inside is set, so saving the loot boxes for later skins won’t help.
Remember how when you reloaded with Mcree and punched halfway he would dump the bullets again
andrew: opening a non-event legendary loot box
also andrew: ohhhh i wanted to get one of the new ones
I like that you get excited about overwatch still plz keep the videos coming!
I saw something on reddit (i think) saying the mercy skin/sticker for that skin is referencing Florence Nightingale :)
Reapers reaction to tiny gun makes me think of battle feild 1 when u pull out the kolibri and your guys just like the hell is this then proceeds to hold it between his fingers to shoot

8:44 that's not actually 3 dragons but it's based off of one 3-headed folklore creature
Andrew if we had the zoom in feature everyone would use it on window...
You cant get the new items in the golden lootboxes cuz u bought them b4 the event started and the items arent actually generated when you open it but when you get it. So when you got it those items didnt exist yet
1:35 ; She went from heroes never die to jeff can i speak to your manager HAHAHAH
I think the only gun where you get a closer look to the third person look are hog guns since they are huge
