omg you're right thats awesome i always wonder why he didnt talk like zhenyata now i know why, (maybe) he didnt learn any human language bcz of his war programming and he does bird sounds bcz he tries to communicate with the only one who is there, his bird friend Q_Q
It's very likely. Omnics are special in the Overwatch world because they're capable of learning, so it's likely that Bastion wasn't programmed with any human language, but he's capable of learning languages... and it just so happens that the first language he learned was chirping.
To anyone who was wondering, Yvain Gnabro (who this animation was in memory of) was one of the animators who worked on the Overwatch shorts that sadly had gotten into a motorcycle accident and passed away.
yea it could be a whole movie, no lines needed, just look at Wall-e, great movie showing alot of emotion through a robot that has no lines, it would be great!
Have you seen The Iron Giant? It's an older animated movie that a lot of people are saying has inspired this short. It's beautifully made and basically asks the question "what if a gun had a soul, and didn't want to be a gun." - Brad Bird. (He directed The Iron Giant btw) you honestly need to watch it, it's amazing
Well, it that would be a shit programming, like, another bastion friend would be shooting and he would be liek "OH SHIT THAT THING SOUNDS LIKE A GUN!" then starts doing friendly fire.
It's not PTSD, it's his programming. Bastion was made to be a peacekeeper, but turned into a warbot through Omnic interference, and his mission was to assault that city. His response to the woodpecker was a standard threat reaction, clear the immediate area of potential hostiles and cover for hostiles. And also, in response to what Panzer said about him 'healing' the robot, what he did was tap into the downed bot's memory chip, experiencing the battle through the destroyed unit's memories. Those memories in turn triggered his (potentially damaged, we don't know what exactly caused him to go into that dormant state) memory chip and caused him to go back on mission until our avian friend intervened.
Bastion has no fear, since he's a robot. His programming lead him to believe that the woodpecker was a threat to him, and due to his programming he's supposed to eliminate threats.
Owlmare If he had no emotions, why would he help the bird? That would seem like a significant waste of energy to a normal robot. And why would he consider one bird friend, and another as "a threat"?
To anyone who was wondering, that city Bastion was marching towards at 6:35 was Stuttgart, and the castle (or schloss) in the background at 6:15 was Eichenwalde, the new map. Additionally, at 7:20 that Crusader was not, in fact, Reinhardt, but Balderich von Adler, the (former) leader of Reinhardt's order.
The map was Numbani I believe. I think he went dormant in a different location than Eichenwalde and that's how he ended up there, Eichenwalde was just the FINAL battle, there were many more. I dunno it is just looks 100% identical to Numbani for me, but it might be the "cookie cutter" big city they will be using in overwatch.
Wow, people in these comments are pricks. 1. If you don't like people talking over even a dialogue-less videos, just watch the original, not a reaction. 2. Technically every video out there is for the views. Seeing things for the first time, is one-time experience, which is nice to be captured in a video, because after seeing something ourselves, many of us are curious to see others' reactions to some good bits, and want to hear their opinions/theories about it, or just see their shock/amazement. It's same as wanting to show something cool to a friend, wondering what they'll think. 3. This isn't an analysation video, where you constantly pause and inspect for details. Therefore, when you see a shadowy guy using Reinhardt's abilities, while there're 20 more things happening all around, it's not that unacceptable to assume that it is THE Reinhardt, and miss the smaller one in the background.
Whats up with all the hate in the comments? Compared to most reaction videos out there at least she talks about the lore before and after the video. Most reaction videos and reaction youtubers out there just watch the video and thats it.
That short felt very Ghibli inspired. Especially the moment when Bastion leaves the forest, right before his flashback seems so very reminiscent to me. The big open meadow, the blue sky with it's pure white clouds towering up and most of all the music. I bet that Bastion is a product of Hayao Miyazaki's Laputa - Castle in the Sky.
TheCoper COper That's what "Inspired" means. It is Blizzard's own, simplistic version of something Ghibli did on a greater scale many years before. It doesn't have to be as complex and grand as a Ghibli movie to be inspired by it.
I cant believe that no one comments on the music in the animations. I cant commend the music team enough for any of the Blizzard cinematics. The music is binding everything together so exeptionally well, especially in this one.
Captain here : Yvain Gnadbro (the person in whos memory the cinematic is) was a animator who worked for Blizzard and died recently in a motorcycle acciedent.
i have forgiven bastion, but torbjorne, hell no, i will need a movie much more emotional than this to forgive that dumbass dwarf that gets potg for punching a turret
Play of the Game Bastion Eliminated Tree Eliminated Tree Eliminated Tree Eliminated Tree Eliminated Woodpecker Eliminated Tree Eliminated Tree Eliminated Tree *Overwatch theme*
I don't think what we're seeing here is him struggling with his hatred of humanity. Instead I think we're seeing him struggle with his programing. If you noticed at the end there when his lights turned back to blue for the final time it was like he was waking up with a start. He did a little jump thing there indicative of someone coming out of a doze or something. I don't think he was trying to heal the other bastion, instead I think he checked it's memory and it's programing put his own old programming in full control. He was already being partially controlled by his programing even before then as that's the reason he headed toward the city in the first place. In the end tho he chose to ignore his programing and go back into the forest. I'd be interested to see how he came to be fighting on behalf of Overwatch. BTW my favorite Overwatch short is still "Dragons"
This is a surprisingly realistic portrayal of real life PTSD. It gets thrown around like a joke constantly online, but this is the reality of it, it's not funny, it's not a joke. Those of us who live with it have to deal with things like this. There are other symptoms of course, but vivid flashbacks like this are common upon a trigger. So the next time any of you are about to crack a PTSD flashback trigger joke online, seriously, think back to this. Remember how it felt to watch this fictional robot deal with it. Some people have to try to live their real lives while dealing with that.
I don't see why she gets so many thumbs down on her videos, she's being genuine and herself. Kudos for that. I like you and what you do Miss :) Emotions are good mm'kay.
+TradeChat reinhardt was a member of a group of hammer weidling armoured men. and his armor in the video matches the king better. and he's found dead in the new map. and a skin for Reinhardt. so I think it was the king. or just another crusader
+Eri Otto You could say her backstory is a lot like a certain (very patriotic) superhero's. So why don't we call her... Captain A-mei-rica? (I am so sorry.)
I mean absolutely no disrespect, but praising the emotion in the animation and then putting yourself down for getting emotional is hypocritical. Embrace it. It's what makes you human. Being an adult is overrated.
Welp if you run into genji out there, I'd suggest fighting him in scout mode, punch him if he uses reflect and just keep jumping and moving around while shooting the ninja. Hope it helps.
Ikr same, I play Bastion a lot since his shorts was released. Luckly I have overgrown Bastion but I bought the Omnic Crisis as him before he was broken.
+The allied gamers god yes i really do hope they do!! cuz i mean they have so much good material to work with!! it would be a movie i would watch and im sure every overwatch gamer would to!
+kingmark210 it took them 4 weeks to do 1 animation of 15 mins. if what I say is right then that means they have probably already started with the movie and it shoud have reached about 30 mins that means 8 weeks of work if they go on in 1/2 years we should have the movie
Well Sony will probably have money sitting around seeing as how Ghostbusters won't be getting a sequel. They have a relationship with Legendary pictures from the Warcraft movie. They have experience in CGI for extra manpower. But hey we got an Angry birds movie.
I'd honestly prefer an animated series where they delved into the past as to not mess up game lore...watching overwatch form and go on missions weekly would be amazing
This short animation is so beautiful, done in a way with no dialouge and as you pointed only "beeps and boops", which really captivated me as a viewer. I'm just stunned by the work Blizzard puts into theese animated shorts.
+TradeChat You asked what the 54 meant, I think, since he is E54, that E means that would be the fifth line of Bastions made and then the 54 would mean he was the 54th in that line?
i said it once & i'll say it agian: Blizzard has the talent & the power to make a BAWS Awesome Overwatch Movie or mini-TV or UA-cam Series on their Overwatch Channel.
i really love this Short it surpasses the Honzo short which was my fav, well now this short is my fav. even though Bastion doesn't talk his little beeps or wizz's combined with the atmosphere of his surrounding & the background soundtrack really makes feel & see how Bastion is reacting: for example: after leveling a good chunk of the forest the darker lighting with Bastion's slight over hunch posture & his slow walk & the subtle base & drum soundtrack really convaies on how he is feeling.
That looks awesome. Good thing you didn't pick up, this way we got to see it. BTW, I never thought Bastion of all characters would be able to make me feel so much! They did an amazing job.
I know right, i thought everyone everywhere had the same pronunciation. But yea you would be surprised that it differs where you're from that pronunciations might be different, just in case you didn't know.
Whenever bashing hears that sounds like shooting or or something similar to the sound of shooting it brings back his memory of the war when he was a soldier a machine designed to fight for only one purpose
This entire short film is an allegory for PTSD among service members. When Bastion discovered the bodies of his fellow units in the field, the only thing I could think of was Arlington cemetery.
There was one guy who commented on the original video, took me back to my childhood days. "You are not a weapon, You are what you choose to be." The Iron Giant.
Now I can't shoot at bastion's without hesitating! 😭 ...What are you looking at!? I'm tough! I'm too manly to have feelings! Yeah! Yeah. yeah... I regret nothing. 😣
The city that Bastion walks to is Düsseldorf, in Germany. His programming forced him to go there to fight in the battle, but he was instead somehow redirected and shut down in the forest.
I usually hate reaction videos but this really was the best reaction video i've ever seen, you knew everything about Bastion right from the beginning and all the discussion you made was really interesting and on point to the content you reacted to, amazing, subscribed
+Comic Gamer Kids I'm still holding out hope that it's just training exercises. Because that would be Bastion is now sentient and is just killing for the fun of it, not because of programming. XD
That scene of the Omnic War with those soldiers surrounded on every side by hordes of unwavering machines hellbent on their elimination... I wish we saw more of that conflict.
It's Balderich von Alder, the leader of the crusaders. The new castle map features his corpse sitting on the throne. And how does he look like Reinhardt? Completely different armour and weapon, especially the weapon.
You are SO CUTE! Always loved your videos ^^ "The last Bastion" was awesome and suprisingly emotional! I really felt sorry for the little PTSD bot! The flipside of it is seeing so bloody many bastion reinhart combos in game after it was released, but I can live with that xD Loved the video, thank you for sharing!
I can't imagine a better way to flesh out this character. It reminded me a lot of the iron giant from way back in the day. The more blizzard makes these shorts the more I hunger for overwatch lore.
The "In Memory Of Yvain Gnabro" he was one of the lead animators for this animated short and was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident just a FYI if you didn't know. :*( 😢
For these who don't know who they mention at the end of the Video was Yvain Gnabro : Was a 3D Animator , During Summer 2016 he passed away in a freeway crash while riding his motorcycle home from work. Sadly ! Here is your quick answer ! :)
most interesting part of the trailer for for world building lore is that there were Two Rinhards in the flashback. Right before he does the hammer smash you can see a second Rinhard in the distance, what does this mean ?
Story of Eichenwalde tells us about a huge battle where Reinhardt's mentor also fought for the humans, so this is obviously Reinhardt's mentor. In this battle a lot of omnics (bastions) were destroyed so this must be a leftover from the battle and this surviving bastion unit read the memory and saw the humans including Reinhardt and his mentor and omnics fighting.
You made this reaction video so meaningful and did a great job! You really sold the emotion and how important it was. I can't say enough about how good you made this reaction video! Great job.
For those of you who don't know who yvain is gnabaro he's a blizzard animator who worked on hero dragons and recall he died recently in a motorcycle accident
I had not realized until this new animation that Bastion's beeping is just emulating his bird friend. Beautiful, really.
omg you're right thats awesome i always wonder why he didnt talk like zhenyata now i know why, (maybe) he didnt learn any human language bcz of his war programming and he does bird sounds bcz he tries to communicate with the only one who is there, his bird friend Q_Q
It's very likely. Omnics are special in the Overwatch world because they're capable of learning, so it's likely that Bastion wasn't programmed with any human language, but he's capable of learning languages... and it just so happens that the first language he learned was chirping.

To anyone who was wondering, Yvain Gnabro (who this animation was in memory of) was one of the animators who worked on the Overwatch shorts that sadly had gotten into a motorcycle accident and passed away.
rip
rest in peace my friend
He will never be forgotten.
o7
i thought that was a fan of the game
everyone should feel bad for playing bastion. not because he is op but because he just wants to chill with his bird bro
What if we from now on choose bastions and just spend the entire match emoting and going booop beeep boooooowooop!
that would be nice . BEEP :)
+TradeChat wait at one point in this you call yourself Danielle but in other videos you call yourself Panser?
Danielle = name
Panser = internet nick-name

How are so many people misunderstanding the woodpecker thing? I thought it was rather obvious.
that profile pic xD
Anybody else thought Bastion was scared cause it sounded like the Predator😂
+Blue Fox John nah dude it sounded like a gun
+Luke it was obvious, what else could've triggered a panicked response (via gunfire) ?
Exora why are you saying that to me, i know this blue fox guy doesnt.....
programming emotion into a robot is the pinnacle of animation.
no clue why I said programming. animating emotion into a robot*
yea it could be a whole movie, no lines needed, just look at Wall-e, great movie showing alot of emotion through a robot that has no lines, it would be great!

+ERAMakers I have, one of my lasting childhood memories is the you stay, I go scene.
+ERAMakers yeah I'm totaly egree with you
The reason he got "scared" is because the bird sounded like gunfire. PTSD.
+kingmark210 Bro thats a shit def. system if you kill anything that sounds like a gun
Well, if he was programmed for war, it would make sense would it not?
Well, it that would be a shit programming, like, another bastion friend would be shooting and he would be liek "OH SHIT THAT THING SOUNDS LIKE A GUN!" then starts doing friendly fire.
except they can probably detect friendly units with their scanner so no friendly fire
Revan Ruler Still stupid though
Yeah, I think the sound of the Woodpecker sounded like bullets, and sent Bastion into full war mode again. :[
I feel so bad. A robot with PTSD.
It's not PTSD, it's his programming. Bastion was made to be a peacekeeper, but turned into a warbot through Omnic interference, and his mission was to assault that city. His response to the woodpecker was a standard threat reaction, clear the immediate area of potential hostiles and cover for hostiles.

To anyone who was wondering, that city Bastion was marching towards at 6:35 was Stuttgart, and the castle (or schloss) in the background at 6:15 was Eichenwalde, the new map. Additionally, at 7:20 that Crusader was not, in fact, Reinhardt, but Balderich von Adler, the (former) leader of Reinhardt's order.

+TradeChat you know they are making plushies of the bird, right? it's been confirmed
In case you didnt already see it..

The map was Numbani I believe. I think he went dormant in a different location than Eichenwalde and that's how he ended up there, Eichenwalde was just the FINAL battle, there were many more. I dunno it is just looks 100% identical to Numbani for me, but it might be the "cookie cutter" big city they will be using in overwatch.
It's Stuttgart, a few streamers showed that you can see the city from Eichenwalde, and you can see Eichenwalde in the distance at 6:18.
Didn't realize this! Thanks for the info!

The big open meadow, the blue sky with it's pure white clouds towering up and most of all the music. I bet that Bastion is a product of Hayao Miyazaki's Laputa - Castle in the Sky.
It also feels like the Iron Giant.
+Wedfig Alternatively, it feels like the "sacrifice" part of the Iron Giant when you charge into an exploding D.Va mech as Reinhardt.
Ghibli inspired?! Dude, this is way too simplistic for Ghibli.

Using the darkness to symbolize Bastion's PTSD was so well done. And how Ganymede breaks through the darkness when they return was a nice touch.

all we need now is a torbiörn to not get mad
i have forgiven bastion, but torbjorne, hell no, i will need a movie much more emotional than this to forgive that dumbass dwarf that gets potg for punching a turret
youll be mad at the player because when u play bastion u basically trigger his ptsd lmfao

"Oh my God, he's so powerful!"
Yeah, don't remind me :(
Got three POTG's with Bastion yesterday... Yeah, he IS powerful!
Bastion has PTSD and Ganymede is their comfort animal.
how did the bastion army not win!?!?
Blackwatch shut down the power reactor 30 years before this took place. they all powered down like the droids in phantom menace.
An army of pre-nerf Gengi.
Ran out of ammo. Imagine how much ammo an army of bastions would consume!

The town bastion sees is Stuttgart Germany
It looks a lot like Numbani tho

Welp if you run into genji out there, I'd suggest fighting him in scout mode, punch him if he uses reflect and just keep jumping and moving around while shooting the ninja. Hope it helps.
Ikr same, I play Bastion a lot since his shorts was released. Luckly I have overgrown Bastion but I bought the Omnic Crisis as him before he was broken.
dude...
we need an overwatch movie!! no i demand an overwatch movie get on it blizzard! !
my theory is when those shorts are finished they are gonna work on a movie these are prob an epilogue
+The allied gamers god yes i really do hope they do!! cuz i mean they have so much good material to work with!! it would be a movie i would watch and im sure every overwatch gamer would to!

Not important, but I don't think he was healing the other Bastion (lack of sparks) but reading a memory chip or something.
I was going to say that it reminded me a bit about the military and P.T.S.D. It looks really good and am going to look into this game. :)
keep in mind there isn't any actual story in the game of overwatch, it is all online.
roger that, thank you Brian. :)
there is story just not a story mode you can learn the lore from overwatch site
This short animation is so beautiful, done in a way with no dialouge and as you pointed only "beeps and boops", which really captivated me as a viewer. I'm just stunned by the work Blizzard puts into theese animated shorts.
+TradeChat You asked what the 54 meant, I think, since he is E54, that E means that would be the fifth line of Bastions made and then the 54 would mean he was the 54th in that line?
The City is Stuttgart, in Germany also near to the location of the new Map Panser :D
Also, you asked for the plush:
gear.blizzard.com/overwatch-ganymede-plush
Here you go :D
The feels, for a robot that can't speak he sure can let his emotions roll out
I thought that was nambani
See now I have to buy bird friend to sit on one shoulder while Pepe is on the other.
Not crying just washing my eyes from the inside out
The fact that she explained it in the beginning makes you think she had already seen it
that moment when you realize that the bird saved thousand of lifes
bastion has ptsd :(
So do i, its scary.
i said it once & i'll say it agian: Blizzard has the talent & the power to make a BAWS Awesome Overwatch Movie or mini-TV or UA-cam Series on their Overwatch Channel.
i really love this Short it surpasses the Honzo short which was my fav, well now this short is my fav. even though Bastion doesn't talk his little beeps or wizz's combined with the atmosphere of his surrounding & the background soundtrack really makes feel & see how Bastion is reacting:
for example: after leveling a good chunk of the forest the darker lighting with Bastion's slight over hunch posture & his slow walk & the subtle base & drum soundtrack really convaies on how he is feeling.
Over ride your directives & programming and grasp your own future.
nonono, should have said Blizzard have the power & talent to overcome any animation movie! disney, pixel, ptttfffff~ who's that?
Teow Hai Way AHMEN TO THAT XD!
Would be cool if Bastion gets his arm replaced with watermelons, so that it becomes Bastion Melonhands.
what
+A Person on UA-cam MelonHANDS!!!!
+Tyranitear50 nononono Fish hands!
MelonHAAAAANNNNDDDSSS!!!!!!!
Dope
It starts of as a Disney movie and turns into an educational video about PTSD. Great work, would cry again.
Cat goes into "lemme clean my junk" mode the moment the video starts.
Did you paint that picture in the background, Panser?
That looks awesome. Good thing you didn't pick up, this way we got to see it.
BTW, I never thought Bastion of all characters would be able to make me feel so much! They did an amazing job.
+TradeChat Nice!
Every time I hear Bass Tee Uhn instead of Bass Chuhn I twitch a little.
I instantly paused it, I couldn't stand it xD
I know right, i thought everyone everywhere had the same pronunciation.
But yea you would be surprised that it differs where you're from that pronunciations might be different, just in case you didn't know.
Pretentious much?
ikr i instantly paused and surfed the comments
Bastion, a place of refuge. Not Bastion, the main character from Never Ending Story?
Whenever bashing hears that sounds like shooting or or something similar to the sound of shooting it brings back his memory of the war when he was a soldier a machine designed to fight for only one purpose
This entire short film is an allegory for PTSD among service members. When Bastion discovered the bodies of his fellow units in the field, the only thing I could think of was Arlington cemetery.
Who ever created bastion is smart as hell a.i system and transform to a placed minigun
I Know Im Late
But
Bastion Was Covered in Moss For Camping to Long
i would love film about the story of overwatch. over the omni crysis and so on.
It’s kinda cute when bastion isn’t holding down left click in a small corner
There was one guy who commented on the original video, took me back to my childhood days. "You are not a weapon, You are what you choose to be." The Iron Giant.
Yea, can't hate bastion now. man it will be like killing WALL-E...
😂😂 yeah
Now I can't shoot at bastion's without hesitating! 😭
...What are you looking at!? I'm tough! I'm too manly to have feelings! Yeah! Yeah. yeah... I regret nothing. 😣
Goddammit, I will feel like shit every time I press that "E" key as Genji in front of a Bastion.
And I'm a Genji main, so I have to do that a *lot*.
So technically Bastion also is german :D
I like that
I mean, we don't know where he was built, but sure.
BensRandomness Thank you for letting me have that one
Made in China
If Bastion is German, then that city must be Frankfurt.
its Stuttgart
why was this girl whining
?
girly things u know..
The irony of this statement
its not whining to have feelings and expressing emotions nor is it "a girly thing".
Or she just tries to act like she cares for views
The city that Bastion walks to is Düsseldorf, in Germany. His programming forced him to go there to fight in the battle, but he was instead somehow redirected and shut down in the forest.
I usually hate reaction videos but this really was the best reaction video i've ever seen, you knew everything about Bastion right from the beginning and all the discussion you made was really interesting and on point to the content you reacted to, amazing, subscribed
Now watch 2 girls one cup
+1 . omg. put 2g1c over this video and her reaction would then be hilarious
+1 . omg. put 2g1c over this video and her reaction would then be hilarious
so you said he is going back to the forest where there are no stupid people but yet the robots started the war
She's not smart is she
Bastion's not like the other robots though. He fought to become sentient in this short, and PTSD.
+Shock Jockey1 now he just slaughters our heroes 1 million times a day
+Comic Gamer Kids I'm still holding out hope that it's just training exercises. Because that would be Bastion is now sentient and is just killing for the fun of it, not because of programming. XD
The robots being forced to start a war by people.
Were you on king of the nerds?
Yes she was
That scene of the Omnic War with those soldiers surrounded on every side by hordes of unwavering machines hellbent on their elimination... I wish we saw more of that conflict.
The whole commentary is just "oh oh oh no" "omg omg no omg oh no" "omg no omg"
Why does erryone think that's Reinhardt?
I know right. A lot of people are 9' tall and covered with armor. They also have a huge axe that shoots fire.
this shows you never visited germany ...
Im sure I am right. I am not sure if you are. That is how snark works.
+Wildheårt just played a QP match with 4 Reinhardts on the field. They all talked and looked the same.
It's Balderich von Alder, the leader of the crusaders. The new castle map features his corpse sitting on the throne. And how does he look like Reinhardt? Completely different armour and weapon, especially the weapon.
What is the purpose of this video.
For her to receive income off of her thirsty viewers
lol
Basically she is just fishing for compliments. Pure BS.
What is the purpose of any reaction videos? I guess someone wants to watch them, or nobody would make them
good point lol
REACT TO INFILTRATION!
So Bastion has PTSD making a robot more human is great.
Just in case you got confused,the woodpecker noise made the bastion think it was a gun firing and another war was going on
You are SO CUTE! Always loved your videos ^^ "The last Bastion" was awesome and suprisingly emotional! I really felt sorry for the little PTSD bot! The flipside of it is seeing so bloody many bastion reinhart combos in game after it was released, but I can live with that xD Loved the video, thank you for sharing!
for the people that don't know why yvain gnabro is in memory he was an employee that worked on this animation and died
He's got a serious Iron Giant kind of feel. For anyone who recognizes the animated film, Bastion is basically a mix of Iron Giant and Walli
I was getting serious Iron Giant vibes from this short, It was like my childhood all over again.
I can't imagine a better way to flesh out this character. It reminded me a lot of the iron giant from way back in the day. The more blizzard makes these shorts the more I hunger for overwatch lore.
The "In Memory Of Yvain Gnabro" he was one of the lead animators for this animated short and was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident just a FYI if you didn't know. :*( 😢
aww he was the cinematic animator that worked at blizzard, he died in a freeway crash this summer.
For these who don't know who they mention at the end of the Video was Yvain Gnabro : Was a 3D Animator , During Summer 2016 he passed away in a freeway crash while riding his motorcycle home from work. Sadly ! Here is your quick answer ! :)
The land he is walking through is where one of the greatest battles of the omnic crisis took place
This is the power of blizzard animations i got emotional the moment the bird started chipping in the tree
most interesting part of the trailer for for world building lore is that there were Two Rinhards in the flashback. Right before he does the hammer smash you can see a second Rinhard in the distance, what does this mean ?
Story of Eichenwalde tells us about a huge battle where Reinhardt's mentor also fought for the humans, so this is obviously Reinhardt's mentor.
In this battle a lot of omnics (bastions) were destroyed so this must be a leftover from the battle and this surviving bastion unit read the memory and saw the humans including Reinhardt and his mentor and omnics fighting.
the nest on his shoulder is the reason why the bird keeps following him around in the first place, BASTION STOLE HIS HOME è_é
You made this reaction video so meaningful and did a great job! You really sold the emotion and how important it was. I can't say enough about how good you made this reaction video! Great job.
this is true animating gold. being able to tell an entire story without saying a single word.
I love that in the end, he chose peace over war.
For those of you who don't know who yvain is gnabaro he's a blizzard animator who worked on hero dragons and recall he died recently in a motorcycle accident
Bastion is going through a version of ptsd, soldiers heart, survivors guilt. Someone in blizzard got it right.
