[@PatzeShayminJeyawue]

HONESTLY DO ALL OF THEM IM literally sitting here and taking notes from you

[@Ferdawoon]

22:22 - "It's like he's in a Primal Rage." Winston's Ultimate ability (the one that you power up over time) is called exactly that, Primal Rage, with the icon being a pair of glasses. As him getting enraged as they stepped on his glasses.

[@kaizammit]

Love it!

[@captshavers]

I really hope you plan to go through all of these, they're so good. Also the doctor that looked after Winston was actually named Winston. As a result I think the doctor likely died and Winston adopted his name and glasses out of respect and affection.

[@kaizammit]

I am planning on covering them all, I've already recorded them!!

[@harlankovacs6276]

The experiment kinda failed on the other gorrillas, they rebelled and killed every humans on the lunar colony (including Dr Harold Winston). Immediately after witnessing the death of the crew Winston decided to leave for earth with a caspule (the one we see in the cinematic, who falls on winston). As for the glasses, Winston has a pretty poor view (we can see that in the cinematic when he looks outside his bedroom), so he kept the glasses for that and as a memento of his adoptive father. And of course he took the name Winston too.

[@captshavers]

Lol, I am just going through the breakdown now and feel quite silly, since you pointed out everything I explained 😅 sorry about that.

[@kaizammit]

:D I always appreciate your comments.

[@musicmaster8254]

​@@kaizammitomg really I'm so subbing I need the notifications for these. Cant wait

[@danielsantos3254]

Overwatch used to be a legitimate international peacekeeping force. But some of their covert ops went public, causing the U.N. (or the story's equivalent) to shut them down and declare all further activity in Overwatch's name illegal. At least, that's the "common" knowledge. It won't be in any of the 3D animated cinematics, but some of the darker members of the original Overwatch organization decided that they would be better off without their goody-two-shoes commanders breathing down their necks.

[@rusozawr4969]

If you pay close attention, youll see that Winston was farsighted when younger and kept in the Horizon Lunar Colony on the moon. He "borrows" the glasses from the scientist, Harold Winston to see the view more clearly. ❤

[@australianwi-fi]

He's nearsighted. The terms can be confusing lol

[@VanillaCookieCat]

I can’t wait for you to get to Kiriko's cinematic. As someone who mainly plays her ingame :)

[@kaizammit]

I'm planning on covering Overwatch 2 all in one video so you'll have multiple to watch, that's if you want to see me watch them of course ✌🏻

[@kuscheltear]

these stories have a special place in my heart

[@kaizammit]

That's cool to hear.

[@nathanoliva2484]

I can't wait for "Alive" and "infiltration" reactions if they are planned. Those are in my top 3 favorite ones, (can't beat the last bastion)

"But I do miss the old days." We all do Winston, RIP Overwatch 😢

[@NalaLovii]

I miss it so so much.... OW 2 is just....nah.

[@edgelessuser5]

​@@NalaLoviiI know I hate that they decided to take away overwatch 1 that we payed for and give us a free overwatch 2 so we couldn't even play it if we wanted to

[@BrainMeltGaming]

​@@edgelessuser5that and completely reworking half the characters for no reason

[@edgelessuser5]

​@@BrainMeltGamingI think it was interesting to spice up some of the heroes like Bastion was a big issue in OW 1 with how he and other characters were encouraged to camp one or two spots but I also don't agree that two tanks was what made double shields annoying to people. There are ways around tanks and through shields it isn't like they are invincible

[@dragonsmith3285]

I actually love, how even this early on, they hinted at future characters, one of the characters in the little flash of the hero cards near the end of the cinematic there was Sojurn, a character that was not introduced into overwatch until Overwatch 2

[@christophermason5088]

the one thing you haven't noticed is that reaper throws away his guns and magically replaces them instead of reloading. Its a game trait and it adds to how cool he is

[@sporkleton]

Overwatch had stages of its lifetime. It was founded to combat the worldwide robot invasion, "The Omnic Crisis". After the crisis was won, Overwatch became "big brother" and was waging war on organized crime, which is where Overwatch had its identity crisis. Overwatch was falling apart from the inside, propagated from leaked info to the public. Public opinions flipped, Overwatch imploded from the catastrophe at HQ, and the Petras Act outlawed Overwatch activity, leading to its dissolution. And so many of its members went into vigilantism, private military, national service, or forced retirement. The world didn't necessarily get better or worse with Overwatch's dissolution. It merely shifted the global power balance. As we saw in this cinematic, Winston repeatedly has been tempted to recall Overwatch with every regional breaking news. But the attack in this cinematic was enough of a pressure point for Winston to initiate the recall, which each member had the option to answer the call.

[@Insanity_Bound]

A fun fact about reaper. The reason he essentially exists as smoke is because his cells are in a constant state of decay and regeneration thanks to some experimentation by another overwatch character named Moria. Due to this he is immortal as he the constant regeneration means he can’t die.

[@johncage5368]

14:10 That's "Hearthstone". Another very good Blizzard game. ... BTW: That's also the game the guard in the museum played on his tablet in "OVERWATCH CINEMATIC TRAILER". Would be very nice, if you'd interview Blizzard's Overwatch trailer team.

[@drq5002]

Reaper is an amazing idea for a game like this. Born as Gabriel Reyes, he fought for the USA military. He was selected for enhancement in a "super soldier" program and dubbed Soldier: 24. He later joined Overwatch. He was passed over to lead OW by another "enhanced" soldier, Jack Morrison aka Soldier: 76. He continued to serve OW as the black ops commander while the resentment grew. "Blackwatch" had their own medic, however: an Irish geneticist named Moira O'Deorain. She turned him into a being which is constantly decaying, but also regenerating cells faster than the decay. This is why he can disperse and reform. Moira can as well. Reaper does finally snap and survives the explosion of Overwatch HQ. Soldier: 76 is thought to have died.

[@Arthera0]

luckily for you the cinematics are the best thing about overwatch

[@dam_ly]

Best thing about Wow as well.

[@Arthera0]

@@dam_ly i think we agree that its the case for blizzard in general

[@minilabyrinth]

Winston's Recall of the agents in this one is the start of everything, a lot of the animated trailers going forward are connected to it in some way

[@CrowMaiden]

your breakdowns of each one are so interesting to watch. it's genuinely fascinating to know why things work, why the cinematics are so good. also these are good tips for drawing. it's not a cinematic like the others you've watched, but I would be very interested to see your opinion and breakdown of Sigma's origin story. the origin stories are just little animations, like a couple minutes at most, but Sigma's (I think) is widely considered the best one. I won't go into detail--don't want to spoil anything--but it's definitely something.

[@kaizammit]

There's another Overwatch video out tomorrow, I hope you like that one too! KZ

[@SmashPortal]

Winston's voice actor is Crispin Freeman, the same voice you complimented as Sundowner from _Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance._

[@sweeney472]

Awesome stuff as usual. I'm not as up on deep Overwatch lore but I get the impression it's similar to the Avengers, kinda heroes but they got caught up in a lot of stuff and the people they were trying to help kinda turned their back on them and they got outlawed. The game in the background you mention is indeed another of Blizzards, it's a card game called Hearthstone.

[@kaizammit]

Hearthstone, I've heard of that!

[@nukeofficial1103]

32:47 I'm pretty sure it actually shows where they are, not where they're from. Reinhardt is German and Mercy is Swiss, and they're definitely not there on the map.

[@CertifiedSunset]

One thing I hadn't noticed until now is the lasers aiming down at the banana after it falls. Some of them aim past the banana and hit the ground. The ground has shown that it's very reflective since it is reflecting the killzone guys is shown walking. Having used lasers in real life, even on less reflective surfaces there's usually a good amount of light splash that occurs which isn't present at all on the floor but you see a little on the banana. It's likely an oversight or was purposely excluded for reasons I'm not aware of, but I didn't catch it until now. And having used IR light under night vision myself, this light splash effect is magnified considerably due to how light sensitive NV goggles are even if it's a non-visible spectrum of light such as infrared (IR).

[@EnriqueMaxx]

Loved the reaction! As always, learned a ton. Can't wait for more OW videos 👍

[@EnriqueMaxx]

Finally! I've been hoping you'd do another overwatch video. It's been so long since you did one for Honor and Glory. I didn't think you were ever going to do another

[@yourpancake652]

He's done Dragons and the original cinematic trailer (the one with the kids in the museum)

[@EnriqueMaxx]

@@yourpancake652thanks! I JUST noticed he did the museum one too! Honestly made my day. Yeah he did dragons a while ago...seen that one 😊

[@007racerdude]

You gotta watch the rest. You got a sub for this.

[@kaizammit]

I've got a few more already on the channel, I hope you enjoy them!

[@WyattCreel-wc5wf]

I loved this Mr zammit especially when you referred to Winston as optimus prime I don't know how you feel about music videos but league of legends put out a few a couple years ago to promote some of there characters It's k\pop and some of it is in Korean (I think that's what it is) the video is titled more and it has a bunch of cool angles and cuts I just think it would interest you

[@seriosblack4120]

The easter egg game is Blizzards card game Heartstone yes. Also it would be a killer video if you can bring one of Blizz cinematic team directors praige

[@Ferdawoon]

26:45 - They are not dollying in, they are instead dollying out ever so slightly. To show the two alone, against the vastness of space.

[@kaizammit]

That's what I said! I asked the question, why are they not dollying in? I then give the answer.

[@lucaseu9488]

We all wish it was a single player game, and a serie

[@jannyyy2722]

Some of the Origin stories would be nice to see, especially Doomfist and Sigma.

[@pasd918]

Golden age of overwatch

[@theconsolegamingdragon9031]

Winston got his intelligence by being a part of a genetic modification giving them there brain. However it there was a problem that gave them extreme anger issue like in 23:23 wich lead to all the apes un aliveing the scientists leaving Winstone to escape with his now X friend hammond who stowed away on his ship.

[@sideshowman9686]

You and Joey (Lucky Boy) Nato should do a collab. He is a music producer and reacted to all the cinematics as well, only from musical point of view. He has some real good insights as well.

If you're looking for more cinematics/trailers to look at - can recommend some of the old Dragon Age trailers. A little more dated but still worth a view!

[@Alxandear]

Hi! I've been binge watching your videos here lately and love your takes and breakdowns of everything. (Your reaction to Forward Unto Dawn was particularly stand out to me due to how immersed you got into it haha) I'd love to suggest you take a look at Final Fantasy XIV's End of An Era/Flames of Truth cinematics, seeing as you reacted to Shadowbringers in the past. For a little bit of a backstory, Final Fantasy XIV on release was not a good game. So the developers decided to shut it down and effectively remake it. Rather than just shutting down the servers, they went out all and made an in-universe reason as to why everything was "shutting down" which is what we see happen in the End of An Era/Flames of Truth cinematics. I would recommend Flames of Truth as it's sort of an extended cut version of End of an Era that was released later on down the road with events that happen in game.

[@kaizammit]

Thank you so much for watching! I've actually recorded my reaction to all the other cinematics so expect that soon.

[@kimberlyazula]

more overwatch, awesome!

[@kaizammit]

On its way!

[@JM-nothing-more]

the vibe is similar to Avengers because Overwatch was created during the height of Marvel and plays heavily into the same tropes of a bunch of ragtag heroes fighting just as ragtag villains the overall story of Overwatch is split into three parts: the backstory, the cinematics and the story during the game the backstory was told mostly through text on the website prior to launch and implied in these cinematics - in short, Overwatch used to be basically a super hero unit working on a global scale against a robot uprising, was framed for terrorist acts by Reaper's group and was tried and declared illegal as a result the cinematic stories, well, you've seen some already, but they all either revolve roughly around this moment where Winston initiates the recall, or provide backstory for specific characters and lastly the actual game story... has unfortunately barely moved forward since the game launched. there were some minor events, but very little has actually happened because as you mentioned it is a multiplayer-focused game

[@zilverfox6522]

Love your reactions. This time you seemed to talk alot more during first view compared to earlier videos. To me it feels like you might miss part of the story as told through the sounds / voice acting in the video, when you are talking. I do not know if this is true or not.. but thats the feeling I get. It takes away some of the fun of watching a reaction when I feel like the viewer misses important info due to talking. :) (one can only watch a cin.trailer the first time once.. I love watching trailers for the "first time" through others and seeing their reactions)

[@AytorAS]

React to the trailers of metal gear solid V They are probably the best in gaming

[@loceelen]

When you say "that death looking one", do you mean the generic reaper or death from darksiders 2?

[@kaizammit]

Reaper with the two guns.

[@MrHastygamer]

Blizzard games almost always have fantastic cinematics, hopefully it’s not an area Microsoft are cutting back on with the acquisition.

[@theconsolegamingdragon9031]

The game does a have a PvE mode but unfortunately it does really require 4 people to do for fun, it cost around £10 and sadly only 3 missions

[@edwin4625]

The most recent Overwatch hero origin stories are now just 2D still animations. They claim that since it's time-consuming to make 3D character origin stories, they'd rather focus on everything else. But let's be real, they lost a lot of players and their budget is no longer as big as it was back when the original Overwatch 1 was out.

[@azerty1274]

Origin stories and animated shorts is not the same

[@Pimpgamer101]

Man, the last era of decent Blizzard. A shame what the game has become. These cinematics are some of the best video game adjacent media ever made.

If only you knew about the PvE. Probably best you don't :'(

[@varlmorgaine3700]

"doesnt kill characters off" oh yeah you can see this clearly in Mei`s video

[@EnriqueMaxx]

*Spoiler warning* LOL true but I think that's a little different. In that cinematic you'll notice that you never get to see the people that died. It's purposefully shot in a way that almost dehumanizes them. Even the one person Mei speaks to before they're frozen isn't given a face. He's just shown from the neck down. I think this was done to lessen the impact of their passing. It's like, you don't necessarily feel bad for them directly, you feel bad for Mei and how SHE feels about them. Keeping it all very PG. Like how you never actually see Bambi's mom get shot you just know it happens from the way everything unfolds. Not to mention Dr. Winston (the man not the ape) also died rather brutally but it's never shown just spoken about.

[@kaizammit]

Dark tone, that's all. There wasn't actually any killing or something awful visually displayed. Still PG.

[@marvelspiderwebbed7750]
