Reacting to EVERY Overwatch Cinematic Part 1 || Group Reaction

Apparently in the first OW cinematic. Winston’s VA didn’t know he was a monkey until the screening of it. His reaction was allegedly priceless

“A crusader’s armor is his tomb” it may seem messed up, but it’s their way.

I have so much love for Reinhardt's last line "I have been called, I must answer....always." It references back to what his friend said, but it also shows how much he changed truly. The idea that it doesn't matter that he effectively got betrayed, pushed out of Overwatch after all his service, it doesn't matter if it's illegal. He has a duty, he must be the shield that protects, and until the day he dies, he will never, ever refuse to help those who ask for it. God I miss simple heroics like this, so much media these days tends to try and deconstruct/over complicate some things that are just so powerful in their simplicity.

“Hanzo is a Hitscan” I’ve never felt more fear in one sentence. Imagine if HANZO were Hitscan…bro I’m getting Scatter Arrow Flashbacks

The robot that Widowmaker shot was Zenyattas brother Mondatta

Ok i know this is long but. Widowmaker's backstory is actually so damn sad and tragic. in her former life, Widowmaker was married to Gérard Lacroix, an Overwatch agent spearheading operations against the Talon terrorist organization. After several unsuccessful attempts to eliminate Gérard, Talon decided to change its focus to his wife, Amélie. Talon operatives kidnapped her and subjected her to an intense program of neural reconditioning. They broke her will, suppressed her personality, and reprogrammed her as a sleeper agent. She was eventually found by Overwatch agents, apparently none the worse for wear, and returned to her normal life. Two weeks later she killed Gérard in his sleep. Her mission complete, Amélie returned to Talon, and they completed the process of turning her into a living weapon.

If Hanzo had kept his katana (he left it after he killed Genji) he would’ve beaten Genji in the Dragons cinematic. Hanzo left his katana out of respect for Genji, so he switched to bow and arrow. Hanzo is a better swordsman than Genji, however Genji does have his cybernetics which enhances his movement and overall defensive capabilities. So that would mean in canon Hanzo and Genji are similar in strength, Genji won the fight as he caught Hanzo off guard with him constantly talking about the day Hanzo killed Genji. Have a good day everyone.

My favorite theory regarding Mei is that she was only alive because of WInston's call. The system shut down and tried to prolong the power, in its attempt it shut down the capsules 1 by 1, and only stopped because the call that WInston made required humans to deal with it.

49:35 You CAN deflect the ult of Hanzo using a Genji but you have to deflect the Arrow itself before it turns into the dragons. This means that doing so in practice is incredibly difficult because you have to basically be at point blank range to deflect. Also, Mercy saved Genji who then joined Overwatch until they disbanded and then meditated with Zenyatta for a bit about being a cyborg.

For the Dragons cinematic, Hanzo wasn’t always the “bow and arrow guy.” He wielded a sword like his brother. Hanzo is more skilled with the sword than Genji, but after the events that led to the “death” of Genji, Hanzo surrendered his sword (which is the one that sits in the Hanamura map under the ripped banner) and adopted the bow and arrow.

Fact: The Omni robots, specifically the ones you see who are 'free' and have their own will and personalities, supposedly have a finite number. They try to live side by side with humans, but tension between human-omni relations are still high...

Brigitte is the daughter of Torbjorn, Reinhardt saved his life and in gratitude Torb let him be the godfather of Brigitte and choose her name

If you want to find out why the original Overwatch disbanded, then the story around the Blackwatch is what you need to find. Essentially a hit group that would do Overwatch's dirty work in the background, but a certain incident brought those actions to the forefront.

Bastion's PTSD kicking in the way it did... I've seen it happen to vets I know. knew a guy who went into "combat mode" when 4th of july rolls around. the fireworks in texas start around 4 PM, usually. he would take a second and try to find cover, even though we were in no danger. his brother was worse off. someone was whistling and he immediately took a knee while shouting "INCOMING!". that shit speaks to me.

The Reinhardt one is my favorite by far. Always has been. It's the only one that gets me to tear up. The sheer amount of character development and backstory they pack into a few minutes of animation is amazing, really. It shows how in one battle the arrogant, narcissistic Reinhardt was humbled and truly came to understand the meaning of their corps' motto, "Live with honor, and die with glory." He was only in it for the glory and fame at first, but started living with honor and embodying his role as a crusader when he stopped caring only for himself, and set himself on fulfilling his duty to his men and country first and foremost. He became a true hero after that point.

I thought having 4 people reacting would be awesome, but it's just having everyone take turns talking over important dialogue

Why won’t they actually just paying attention to the video

The most unrealistic part of all these cinematics is in the Mei one where she plugged that USB in on the first try.

The Reinhardt one always gets me. “I have been called…I must answer” 😭😭

Not all the OW agents are playable yet. Also in the Winston Cinematic when it was fast forwarding through agents we see soujurn for less than a second and she is playable.
