Officer: "Does this mean Overwatch is back?" Winston: "YES! Yes we are!" Officer: "Okay, well that is a violation against the Petras Act, I am going to have to arrest you."
honestly when they try to take the string of triumphs away from the viewer with that sudden hand... and then not a second later renew that sense of triumph with genji's signature line.... that is definitely the most badass moment in all of the cinematics
just fyi, the angel lady is called "mercy", she's a doctor in the overwatch team and also the one who was able to heal genji. She plays a very important role in the overwatch team
Also she's from Switzerland. And as a doctor she has a great sens of ethic, in opposition with Moira, another charcter who was once part of Overwatch but with... Well, less ethical concerns
Every time I watch these I'm pure watery eyes, as someone who has played since beta and put 3,000+ hours into the game, I love these characters so much
At the beginning they show all the seats with the names which are the original characters, they're in the picture that Winston was looking at. Morrison and Amari are the two in the middle and the one that looks like an angel (named Mercy in game) is Ziegler, and Lindholm is referring to Brigitte's father. I'm glad you guys finally got to see and really appreciate the world that was built! I've played since the game launched and I've come to be attached to the characters to the point where I've watched the video over 30 times with so many people and I still get choked up watching the part where Winston says "I'll hold the line." Genji being one of my favorite characters, I absolutely loved him coming in being badass, but the best part is that they truly brought everyone together finally in one epic standoff. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot more overwatch shorts to watch, this was the final big one. There's still the one with Doomfist which I highly recommend, the art style by itself is awesome and different than what we're used to. There's also "The Plan" with Junkrat and Roadhog.
Genji's entrance always makes me laugh because you can see Winston behind him just sitting there like he didn't actually have a plan if he were to get shot by the giant omnic's beam lol
Actually, I think he was ready to sacrifice himself for the others to escape. You can clearly see he was surprised to see Genji. And the others, later on.
I'm not making Mercy anymore, but Angela Is still my favorite character. Kiriko is my current main because I can actually keep more than 2 characters vertical with here and occasionally hit some crisp kunai headshots.
Her name is Mercy. She is Swiss, Angela Zeigler, the medic from the original Overwatch group of Amari, Jack Morrison (Soilder 76), Winston, Reinhardt, Reaper, Tracer and Torbjörn (Bridgette's father).
I think my favorite part of these clips you guys make, the emotions y'all show. Not every reaction mind you, but Blizzard brings out your best positive feels emotional reactions.
The part where Genji slices the robots hand to prevent it from catching tracer gets me everytime. The short silence and then how the epic theme kicks in along with his catchphrase... Audiovisually that's masterfully. What acti-blizzard should actually have done would be making a movie franchise. There are so many good animated movies out there and the overwatch universe should be among them.
Man I love these characters going back and watching all these cinematics with you guys reminded me of the whole reason I started playing the game. Because the characters were so interesting and cool.
I’ve only played the game a little bit, but I love the lore. I’ve seen all the animated shorts at least a dozen times, and I still get the same feelings every time. Such an awesome story.
I cry several times, every time I watch Zero Hour. First when Winston says he'll hold the line and promises them that he'll be "Right Behind You." And Then again when Genji comes to save the day (Called the Genji Save). I started playing OW after all the other cinematic trailers were released and binged them and loved them. This was the first I got to watch upon release. Felt really special to me and have watched it what feels like 100 times since. I really hope you all enjoyed these cinematics as much as I did/have! Thank you both for making these reactions!
Please react to the Origin Stories, talk about different events that happened in the characters' past and mention many that were not seen in the cutscenes
this is an old video but with OW 2 coming out just yesterday I wanted to rewatch the cinematics with someone. Found your channel and just marathoned all the videos in this playlist and I have to say it was a real pleasure rewatching all these with you two. great reactions and such great talks at the end. I've seen all of these tons of times before but watching it with you two made it fresh again. This video in particular had me in tears. I came for the Overwatch but I'm going to check out some of your other stuff too cause this was just the best reactions I've watched in a long time.
When they showed the animated shorts recap & Overwatch 2 Zero Hour at Blizzcon 2019, I cried like a baby. Just so good, I have high hopes for Overwatch 2. I’ve loved your Overwatch journey and reactions!
One of the things I appreciate about Overwatch is that the characters aren't all young hotshots. The first generation of Overwatch agents are veterans, they have lived lives. When they pan across their seats on the transport you can see pictures of them with their kids and families. It really serves to humanize them. Heck, in the case of two characters being an Overwatch agent runs in the family. Ana and Torbjorn were first generation members and now their kids, Pharah and Brigitte respectively, are new generation members.
I don't like ragging on people but I can't help actually disliking Genji a little in this cinematic simply because I know that he is Michael Chu's self insert and this whole thing smacked of incredible favouritism XP Edit" Also while everyone is mentioning that mercy is the doctor I feel people are doing her a diservice by not mentioning that she is not just a doctor, she is a medical genius who invented a revolutionary branch of medicine when she was 17. She was Overwatch, an international organization's, chief medical officer when she was a teenager. she made nanomachines which heal people and can even revive the dead. that's what the golden glow when she heals Mei is.
Honestly this OW short is SO emotional, I mean every single part of it, like you said, first one thinks that Winston is gonna die so there's that, then everyone starts coming up and the chills continue, and yeah obviously it helps a lot to play the game because you get attached with the characters so when you see them getting together one more time it's beautiful, plus can we talk about the soundtrack? IT'S FR*AKING AWESOME, it goes really well with the scene, in my opinion the combination of the soundtrack and the reunion scene itself makes Zero Hour the best OW short so far!
one of the things i love about the Zero Hour cinematic, is that it is Mei's first actual Overwatch mission outside of her work as a scientist, and she was immediately accepted as part of the team, when she asked Tracer for a pulse bomb, Tracer didn't hesitate and completely trusted that Mei knew what she was doing.
The Overwatch shorts always make me emotional, because they are so good and I was so invested in Overwatch and it's lore for a long time. I absolutely can't wait for Overwatch 2 to come out and for it to actually have a story mode.
Glad you liked this cinematic! It's probably the best so far. Also the reason Soldier 76 isn't back is because he doesn't want to come back to Overwatch. He would rather be a vigilante and has kind of given up on Overwatch and doesn't think it will be worth coming back to. He used to be the leader of Overwatch in the past and Overwatch becoming illegal under his watch probably discourages him from coming back to it. I have a feeling he will come back to Overwatch if they become a successful group again. Hanzo is probably going to join Overwatch eventually as long as he doesn't get corrupted to Talon at some point. He just needs to decide what to do but Hanzo will likely join Overwatch at some point in the story. Mccree will probably join back up with them eventually too once he's ready. The angel is Mercy, she just didn't get a cinematic but obviously she came back too. She's basically the team's main healer. When more cinematics get released for Overwatch eventually, I hope you'll react to those too.
You should check out ''The plan'' too. It's about two of my favorite Overwatch heroes. Junkrat and Roadhog. Its just like a funny short one. So might be good to squeeze in with another one. Keep up the good work! I rly do love these reactions! :)
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Well, if you are doing non-official stuff for TF2, I really recommend Overwatch vs TF2 (both episodes). Very well done, though some of the jokes can be hard to catch if you haven't played.
You can also react to the shorts of some of the character’s story, there’s one for ashe, echo, ana, moira, sombra, soldier 76, etc. Great video btw ^-^
Just a heads up, McCree’s name has been changed to Cole Cassidy. This was because the employee Jesse McCree was found guilty of sexually harassing multiple employees, so the fact that the character was named after him was a bit awkward. The lore explanation for this was the McCree was simply an alias for Cassidy (which would kind of make sense, given the life he lives).
@@Arthera0 well, they changed it bcs some of the employees from OW team were harassed by Jesse McCree, so they felt kind of awkward having his name being thrown around.
I love seeing people react to this series because the culmination in their reaction to this cinematic is worth it! After all the investment in the characters, it's seriously Pixar-movie levels of emotionally evoking.
Angela Zigler aka Mercy is a german doctor, who saved Genji's life after his brother almost killed him. She travels across the Earth into the most dungerous places and conflicts. Not to punish bad guys, but to heal and safe civilians and other heroes.
Everything tied together, nice and neatly. In a way, this cinematic was the Avengers to the individual character movies of the previous shorts. I freaking love this, so cool. Sucks that Overwatch 2 has been delayed for so long. Hope you do the more specific origin stories for the characters, can't wait to see more Overwatch goodness from you! Cheers!
12:17 *splutters* in Mexic-- south somewhere, both of em unless Cassidy/ J rode north ...oh well Genji was in JP so ig I get the sentiment on some level 14:32 (wait did you say Kenji hehe)
Zero Hour is just one of those feel good videos. Idk maybe it's the fact seeing Genji, my favorite character in-game and in general, owning the screen makes me giddy. This was decisively good.
Genji wasn’t our favorite going into this and we still had the feel good vibes throughout this video. Not every moment because it took us on a good ride. 🥲😊🥰🤗🥳
11:06 the heroes you saw in this cinematic "We are Overwatch" in order of appearance: Pharah real name: Fareeha Amari Reinhardt full name: Reinhardt Wilhelm D.Va real name: Hana Song Soldier76 real name: John Morrison Mercy real name: Dr. Angela Ziegler Tracer real name: Lena Oxton Genji full name: Genji Shimada Winston then a whole image of the roster at that time: (in the front line) Torbjörn full name: Torbjörn Lindholm Lúcio full name: Lúcio Correia dos Santos Hanzo full name: Hanzo Shimada Zarya full name: Aleksandra Zaryanova Reaper real name: Gabriel Reyes Pharah real name: Fareeha Amari D.Va real name: Hana Song Tracer real name: Lena Oxton Mercy real name: Dr. Angela Ziegler Winston Reinhardt full name: Reinhardt Wilhelm Soldier76 real name: John Morrison Genji full name: Genji Shimada Widowmaker real name: Amélie Lacroix (née Guillard) (in the backline) Symmetra real name: Satya Vaswani Bastion Mei full name: Dr. Mei-Ling Zhou Junkrat real name: Jamison Fawkes Roadhog real name: Mako Rutledge Zenyatta full name: Tekhartha Zenyatta Cole Cassidy formerly known as Jesse McCree
This video is great because all of the characters did their roles in battle. Tank blocked damage while supports healed and damage dealers like genji wreck worlds lmao
I’d never played Overwatch prior to the Zero Hour trailer, though I was familiar with the characters and LOVED the animated shorts So watching Zero Hour, was just CHILLS Especially when Genji showed up, since he and Bastion were my favourite characters at the time of release
Yea I for sure choked up watching zero and the flashbacks. So much that the neighbor next to me asked me if I was okay,while riding the dart train to work 😅😂
8:38 That beautiful angel that you saw there that was Mercy. Within the Overwatch narrative, Mercy is the callsign of Swiss doctor Angela Ziegler, who provided key medical support for the original Overwatch group. In game, she is a Support class character who can heal and buff teammates and resurrect fallen teammates. Her abilities are Guardian Angel. Fly towards an ally. Resurrect. Revive a dead teammate. Angelic Descent. Fall very slowly. Valkyrie. Gain the ability to fly. Abilities are enhanced. Regeneration. Automatically heal over time.
Her weaknesses is she can only heal/buff 1 ally at a time, her only form of attacking the enemy is a small pistol that shoots relatively slow projectiles, her self heal only kicks in after not taking damage for 1 second, she has low health, and she can resurrect 1 teammate every 30 seconds... in a game where 17 things can happen in just 1.
Yeah literally nobody is going to call him Cole lol, he’s always gonna be McCree. The character made the name, it can’t be tarnished by allegations against the inspiration of the name, makes no sense.
Loved your facial expressions! Just shows people can love Overwatch without actually playing the game. Still hoping Blizzard makes a movie or series. *fingers crossed*
there is an ongoing meme about Mercy being half split between Genji and Pharah. Pharah was somewhat star-struck by 17-year-old Mercy when she was a little girl and her mom Ana was a full member of Overwatch, so obviously the fan base shipped them. 20 years later, Mercy helped recover and heal Genji into the cyborg he is now, so of course the fan base shipped them "playing doctor" as well. there's a bunch of flirty voice lines between them in game, so it's somewhat canon.
I don’t know if anyone has ever mentioned it, but at 4:26 when you see the buttons on the ship there’s a picture of tracers girlfriend on the left, which I just find to be an adorable little detail i love to mention ❤
Finally! I've been waiting for this reaction. I miss this game too. You should watch the live Blizzcon reveal for this. The crowd reaction to these trailers is emotional.
The angel is Mercy, whose real name is Dr. Angela Ziegler. :) She reconstructed Genji's body with cybernetics after his initial fight with Hanzo. Hanzo thought Genji was dead because he most likely would not have survived without Angela.
Random Fact on Reinhardt & Brigitte. Brigitte is the daughter of Torbjorn one of Reinhardt's close friends, so he's basically her Godfather. And Brigitte is Reinhardt's Squire at this point.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Morrison (soldier 76) and reyes (reaper) are good pals in their prime in overwatch but that faded away when they quarrel about morrisons promotion and created a rift between them and there's the day when their headquarters have an explosion and they both "died". Soldier 76 is alive and Reaper was said is a genetic experiment failure taking some revenge and quietly began a rebeliion that soon tore the overwatch apart, Literally
As someone else mentioned, the 'angel' is Mercy. There is a fan-made movie about Mercy's backstory. Not really canon but a lot of fans love it enough to consider it canon. ua-cam.com/video/Yo6G4LmRxRk/v-deo.html
I was kinda sad that Mercy never got her own short, I think she may be in my top 3 favorite characters and she just kinda got left behind until Zero Hour. I'm a big fan of playing support/healer type roles and empowering my team to do their best, so if I ever did end up actually playing Overwatch I'd probably try her out. Conceptually, I just think she's awesome (I'm big on angels and characters with angelic designs). Really glad I got to join you guys on this journey through Overwatch! I've never played it myself because honestly I prefer solo games or stuff that's ONLY people playing alongside each other. I find that any time you do teams vs teams, it gets too competitive and people take it too seriously...I'm more of a "I got your back" kinda person than a "I'm gonna kick your ass" kind of person lol. Regardless of whether or not it's my kind of game, Overwatch has such great characters and story ideas that it definitely holds a fond place in my heart. I'm hoping Blizzard can get their business all sorted out so they can get back to making all my favorite game franchises lol. I'm ready for Diablo IV, and it just got pushed back! Agony! lol.
Feels like Diablo 4 will never come 😢 and we play games same way it seems like. Love these shorts though and definitely interested in more Overwatch. Someone said there was a fan made film about Mercy called Heroes Never Die that we plan to check out eventually 😀
I know I’m a little late, but I adore playing mercy. I love playing support as whole, but always come back to my girl. She’s just so much fun for me! And she’s a great character
The device that Tracer uses was made by Winston. Tracer had an accident which displaced her from time and space and she kept phasing in and out of existence unable to even interact with objects. Winston made the device she has on her chest which allows her to not only use time powers but to exist.
As far as I know, Soldier didn't turn up because he's basically on his own vigilante streak against the conspiracy that took Overwatch down in the first place. There were a few short stories that told what he was up to with his former comrade Ana in Egypt while this was going on. As for Hanzo, he's not actually in Overwatch. Hanzo is a semi-villain who alongside Genji was affiliated with the Shimada clan in Japan, a crime syndicate. Hanzo attempted to kill Genji during the dispute they mentioned in Dragons, however he failed and Overwatch rebuilt Genji on the compromise that he would use his new abilities to help them instead. Hanzo left the Shimada family as well, however is still a lone agent and more self-serving, the bad guys (Talon, ie. Widowmaker, Reaper, Sombra etc.) have attempted to recruit Hanzo to their side before in return for rebuilding the Shimada empire.
After the origin stories, there are still several comics, written short stories and of course the hero descriptions on the original overwatch website. You might not find them suitable for reaction videos, but you should absolutely check them out for yourselves.
The angel lady is mercy! She hasn't gotten her own cinematic, but she's a popular healer in the game
Someone commented once ''did she just come down from heaven?'' in zero hour and I still laugh thinking about it! 8:35
Oh she has gotten plenty of cinematics :)))
@@vilxxblack2472 I'll need you to link them all for scientific research
I still don't really get why they added her to Zero Hour without giving her her own cinematic first
😎🤟 spot on name for her as a healer and her look 😇
9:51
"My suit is more advanced in every way!"
"How'd you solve the icing problem?"
"Icing problem?"
"Might wanna look into it."
Officer: "Does this mean Overwatch is back?"
Winston: "YES! Yes we are!"
Officer: "Okay, well that is a violation against the Petras Act, I am going to have to arrest you."
I am waiting to this comment 🤣🤣
😝
lol
probably what would have happened
100% would have happened in germany
Genji is the real MVP! He saved the day twice! He is also super badass.
He for sure gets MVP honors in this one 😊
They really made my boy too sick in this one, completely stole the show
honestly when they try to take the string of triumphs away from the viewer with that sudden hand... and then not a second later renew that sense of triumph with genji's signature line.... that is definitely the most badass moment in all of the cinematics

☺️🥳 He saved the day and was super bad ass in this 🤩
just fyi, the angel lady is called "mercy", she's a doctor in the overwatch team and also the one who was able to heal genji. She plays a very important role in the overwatch team
...until they nerfed her ages ago 😂

When this first came out I lost my mind when Mercy came in for the clutch heal.
As a mercy main I couldn't ask for more.
☺️😇 always nice seeing favorite characters come through in key moments
it's rare to see another mercy main

Man I love these characters going back and watching all these cinematics with you guys reminded me of the whole reason I started playing the game. Because the characters were so interesting and cool.
I’ve only played the game a little bit, but I love the lore. I’ve seen all the animated shorts at least a dozen times, and I still get the same feelings every time. Such an awesome story.
Brigitte giving a lil push to genji so that he faces the officer instead of turning around was the cherry on top

I’ve been waiting for this, glad you managed to see it
We are too! So good 🤩🤩😍😍
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames yeah you should totally check out the origins
Finally playing the game....and i love Reinhardt for both personality and skills.....and shouting HAMMER DOWN.....
The amount of emotions i saw during this reaction was amazing it was like a rollercoaster
It definitely was a ride for us. So much going on and the culmination of a lot of Overwatch videos watch this past year 🥲☺️😊🥰😀🥳
Just a heads up, McCree’s name has been changed to Cole Cassidy. This was because the employee Jesse McCree was found guilty of sexually harassing multiple employees, so the fact that the character was named after him was a bit awkward.
The lore explanation for this was the McCree was simply an alias for Cassidy (which would kind of make sense, given the life he lives).
Thanks for the heads up! 🙂
will always be McCree to me. Imagine if every character with the same name as a bad guy in the world would have their name changed. absolute crazy.
@@Arthera0 should change, im glad they changed it tbh, Cassidy for life now
@@emma6648 lets agree to disagree then
@@Arthera0 well, they changed it bcs some of the employees from OW team were harassed by Jesse McCree, so they felt kind of awkward having his name being thrown around.
I love seeing people react to this series because the culmination in their reaction to this cinematic is worth it! After all the investment in the characters, it's seriously Pixar-movie levels of emotionally evoking.
Agreed 🥲☺️
Angela Zigler aka Mercy is a german doctor, who saved Genji's life after his brother almost killed him.
She travels across the Earth into the most dungerous places and conflicts. Not to punish bad guys, but to heal and safe civilians and other heroes.
She’s Swiss.
Everything tied together, nice and neatly. In a way, this cinematic was the Avengers to the individual character movies of the previous shorts. I freaking love this, so cool. Sucks that Overwatch 2 has been delayed for so long. Hope you do the more specific origin stories for the characters, can't wait to see more Overwatch goodness from you! Cheers!
Can't agree more omg AHAHAH, it is a shame tho what happened with blizzard and everything
Yeah, Blizzard used to be on top of the gaming world. Not anymore!
We will be doing more Overwatch as the origin stories and a few other vids are out there for them so we will consume what we can 😀
12:17 *splutters* in Mexic-- south somewhere, both of em unless Cassidy/ J rode north
...oh well Genji was in JP so ig I get the sentiment on some level
14:32 (wait did you say Kenji hehe)
Yeah.. 🤭 just thought it’s cooler if he has Ken in the name instead 😜
Zero Hour is just one of those feel good videos. Idk maybe it's the fact seeing Genji, my favorite character in-game and in general, owning the screen makes me giddy. This was decisively good.
Genji wasn’t our favorite going into this and we still had the feel good vibes throughout this video. Not every moment because it took us on a good ride. 🥲😊🥰🤗🥳
I always get goosebumps whenever genji uses his ult
I realy love this reaction it feels like first time watch it again, but thier more, thier origine story still to watch too :D
☺️😊🥳 we do plan to check out the origins 😀

Thanks for sharing this with us and helping us know who is who 😀
This video is great because all of the characters did their roles in battle. Tank blocked damage while supports healed and damage dealers like genji wreck worlds lmao
😎🤟🥳
I recommend watching the parody version of this called “Meme hour”
Haha we actually do have that on our request list 😁
when the theme hits
so goooooood
☺️
Overwatch is a story with an end that has yet to be told.
We hope they do a tv show of this 🤩
Finally, was waiting so much for this reaction 💕
🥳🥳
These animated shorts are the only place I ever want to hear Genji say that damn phrase.
Haha, imagine in game that means trouble when he says it? 🙃
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Haha, yeah. It's Genji's ultimate, so it means shit is about to hit the fan if there's a Genji on the enemy team.
I’d never played Overwatch prior to the Zero Hour trailer, though I was familiar with the characters and LOVED the animated shorts
So watching Zero Hour, was just CHILLS
Especially when Genji showed up, since he and Bastion were my favourite characters at the time of release
All: B, C and A tier
Genji : SSS tier
😎🤟
I’ve been waiting for this reaction!!
😊🥳🥳
Yea I for sure choked up watching zero and the flashbacks. So much that the neighbor next to me asked me if I was okay,while riding the dart train to work 😅😂
Awww. 🥲🤗🤗🤗
8:38 That beautiful angel that you saw there that was Mercy. Within the Overwatch narrative, Mercy is the callsign of Swiss doctor Angela Ziegler, who provided key medical support for the original Overwatch group. In game, she is a Support class character who can heal and buff teammates and resurrect fallen teammates.
Her abilities are
Guardian Angel. Fly towards an ally.
Resurrect. Revive a dead teammate.
Angelic Descent. Fall very slowly.
Valkyrie. Gain the ability to fly. Abilities are enhanced.
Regeneration. Automatically heal over time.
Mercy sounds a bit OP! 😀🤩🥳
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames She used to be, but she keeps getting nerfed to the point that few people play her now.
Her weaknesses is she can only heal/buff 1 ally at a time, her only form of attacking the enemy is a small pistol that shoots relatively slow projectiles, her self heal only kicks in after not taking damage for 1 second, she has low health, and she can resurrect 1 teammate every 30 seconds... in a game where 17 things can happen in just 1.
YASSSSSSSS! at last the reaction I've been waiting for!! let's goooooooooo ~
Haha, where did you get that emoji!? 😂😂😍
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames YT provide me lololol
His name is no longer McCree actually, Blizzard has officially changed it to Cole Cassidy after the controversy that happened earlier this year
Yeah literally nobody is going to call him Cole lol, he’s always gonna be McCree. The character made the name, it can’t be tarnished by allegations against the inspiration of the name, makes no sense.
Thanks for letting us know 🙂
Loved your facial expressions! Just shows people can love Overwatch without actually playing the game. Still hoping Blizzard makes a movie or series. *fingers crossed*
Series would be perfect. And the cinematic and characters are so well done ☺️
there is an ongoing meme about Mercy being half split between Genji and Pharah.
Pharah was somewhat star-struck by 17-year-old Mercy when she was a little girl and her mom Ana was a full member of Overwatch, so obviously the fan base shipped them.
20 years later, Mercy helped recover and heal Genji into the cyborg he is now, so of course the fan base shipped them "playing doctor" as well.
there's a bunch of flirty voice lines between them in game, so it's somewhat canon.
😍😊
Thank you Winston for placing bubble on May so she won't die!!! Great job!
I don’t know if anyone has ever mentioned it, but at 4:26 when you see the buttons on the ship there’s a picture of tracers girlfriend on the left, which I just find to be an adorable little detail i love to mention ❤
Finally! I've been waiting for this reaction. I miss this game too. You should watch the live Blizzcon reveal for this. The crowd reaction to these trailers is emotional.
Oh we bet 😀🥳🥳🥲😊
The cyberangel (Angela Ziegler - Mercy) over the child was emotionally epic ....
🥲
The angel is Mercy, whose real name is Dr. Angela Ziegler. :) She reconstructed Genji's body with cybernetics after his initial fight with Hanzo. Hanzo thought Genji was dead because he most likely would not have survived without Angela.
Thanks! 😀😇
I haven't played OW in a long time, but Zero Hour always pulls my strings x3.
We have never played and still got choked up 🥲
Random Fact on Reinhardt & Brigitte. Brigitte is the daughter of Torbjorn one of Reinhardt's close friends, so he's basically her Godfather. And Brigitte is Reinhardt's Squire at this point.
Thanks for sharing that. More info on them is always appreciated 😊
Zero Hour gets me emotional every time!
With good reason ☺️🥲
been waiting for this
We will be checking our origin stories for sure 😇
Fun fact: Reaper (the one with a mask and can turn into a black mist) is an original member of overwatch before.
What happened to him to switch sides? 🤔😯
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Morrison (soldier 76) and reyes (reaper) are good pals in their prime in overwatch but that faded away when they quarrel about morrisons promotion and created a rift between them and there's the day when their headquarters have an explosion and they both "died". Soldier 76 is alive and Reaper was said is a genetic experiment failure taking some revenge and quietly began a rebeliion that soon tore the overwatch apart, Literally
I fully believe Winston was expecting and ready to die there, as sad as it was. He was just buying time
Also something i think you two might be interested in looking into would be the Deathloop E3 2019 cinematic and the Deathloop Deja Vu trailer!
We do have it on our list to check out at some point 😅
This is hands down the best thing ever
🥰😎🤟🥳
overwatch series were probably my favourite on this channel
Glad we have more Overwatch vids to check out even if all the cinematics are done for now 😇🥳🥳
As someone else mentioned, the 'angel' is Mercy. There is a fan-made movie about Mercy's backstory. Not really canon but a lot of fans love it enough to consider it canon. ua-cam.com/video/Yo6G4LmRxRk/v-deo.html
i still have to watch it, but i'll leave here a "thank you" in advance for the video
Oh cool! More Overwatch vids to watch 😀 Thanks for sharing the link 🥳
Wooo pushed back another year YAY!
😭
I was kinda sad that Mercy never got her own short, I think she may be in my top 3 favorite characters and she just kinda got left behind until Zero Hour. I'm a big fan of playing support/healer type roles and empowering my team to do their best, so if I ever did end up actually playing Overwatch I'd probably try her out. Conceptually, I just think she's awesome (I'm big on angels and characters with angelic designs).
Really glad I got to join you guys on this journey through Overwatch! I've never played it myself because honestly I prefer solo games or stuff that's ONLY people playing alongside each other. I find that any time you do teams vs teams, it gets too competitive and people take it too seriously...I'm more of a "I got your back" kinda person than a "I'm gonna kick your ass" kind of person lol.
Regardless of whether or not it's my kind of game, Overwatch has such great characters and story ideas that it definitely holds a fond place in my heart. I'm hoping Blizzard can get their business all sorted out so they can get back to making all my favorite game franchises lol. I'm ready for Diablo IV, and it just got pushed back! Agony! lol.
Feels like Diablo 4 will never come 😢 and we play games same way it seems like. Love these shorts though and definitely interested in more Overwatch. Someone said there was a fan made film about Mercy called Heroes Never Die that we plan to check out eventually 😀
I know I’m a little late, but I adore playing mercy. I love playing support as whole, but always come back to my girl. She’s just so much fun for me! And she’s a great character
I'm waiting for this reaction months hahah
Hope you enjoyed it! 😀🥳
I think everyone can agree that Genji could have single handedly saved that city.
the power of god and anime would grant that reality
Pretty much 😁
Love your Overwatch reactions! 🔥🤗
The device that Tracer uses was made by Winston. Tracer had an accident which displaced her from time and space and she kept phasing in and out of existence unable to even interact with objects. Winston made the device she has on her chest which allows her to not only use time powers but to exist.
So she is kind of like Ghost from Antman movie. 🤔 And Winston continues to be a badass. Love their relationship in these shorts 🙂
As far as I know, Soldier didn't turn up because he's basically on his own vigilante streak against the conspiracy that took Overwatch down in the first place. There were a few short stories that told what he was up to with his former comrade Ana in Egypt while this was going on. As for Hanzo, he's not actually in Overwatch. Hanzo is a semi-villain who alongside Genji was affiliated with the Shimada clan in Japan, a crime syndicate. Hanzo attempted to kill Genji during the dispute they mentioned in Dragons, however he failed and Overwatch rebuilt Genji on the compromise that he would use his new abilities to help them instead. Hanzo left the Shimada family as well, however is still a lone agent and more self-serving, the bad guys (Talon, ie. Widowmaker, Reaper, Sombra etc.) have attempted to recruit Hanzo to their side before in return for rebuilding the Shimada empire.
Ah okay. Thanks for explaining why Soldier and Hanzo didn’t show up in this cinematic 😊
This is why genji is the GOAT 9:31
After the origin stories, there are still several comics, written short stories and of course the hero descriptions on the original overwatch website. You might not find them suitable for reaction videos, but you should absolutely check them out for yourselves.
Thanks! 😀
