A NEW DANGANRONPA DESPAIR TIME EPISODE IS OUT

[@TheScarletSlayer]

Recently I finished up a fan project of The Overwatch movie. Been a year in the making and with my friends help we have poured every asset into making this film as top notch as it can get. Would you be interested in a video reaction if I sent you the link? I promise it's not just the clips in order of events, we took the time to make some serious changes to tie everything together.

[@kinjiru731]

Fun fact. Ana has a sleep dart. When Pharah ults she says, "Justice rains from above!" If Ana sleeps an ulting enemy Pharah, she says, "It looks like Justice could use a nap." Thought that was funny / cute from the mom / daughter perspective.

[@TangleHamain]

The interactions between Pharah and Ana are so precious and hilarious omg yes

[@DR_REDACTED]

32:12 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. Slowing her heart beat and supressing all of her emotions expect when she kills. There is also the fact that every christmas she leaves flowers to his grava meaning her old peronality is still in there.

[@AllThoseChickens]

oh also she was a professional ballet dancer, which is why she's so fluid and agile

[@saga_oneil]

@@AllThoseChickens yup ! and Ana was the one who taught her how to shoot I believe

[@leafblade3T9]

It’s my belief that, given what her cinematic said (at the moment of the kill, they never feel more alive) or something like that, she is a killer because it’s the only way for her to feel something anymore. Another layer of tragedy I’m afraid.

For me, the lore of this game is what made me a fan and kept me invested. I like the gameplay as is, but I'm absolutely hyped for the upcoming PVE Story mode! I've bought official books, short stories and comics, because I love this fictional world and it's characters so much. These cinematics are a testament to the quality of this games worldbuilding. I hope you react to more Overwatch content in the future! My suggestion is all the Hero Gameplay trailers.

[@DR_REDACTED]

I have given up on the current OW and pray that the PVE is as good as they said it will be. Not much hope tho with the current state of the game.

1:06:06 Those were Genji, Jesse McCree/Cole Cassidy (his name was change) and Garbriel Reyes the man who would later be know by the name Reaper. You can even see the tests being done at 1:05:27. They were part of Blackwatch, Blackwatch was the covert ops section of the Overwatch team. Whereas Overwatch was a public group of heroes, Blackwatch engaged in secret missions that often included assassinations, torturing enemies, and other morally questionable actions. Later on Moira and Garbriel would go on to betray Overwatch Genji and Cole didn't.

[@wingedbluj1674]

Genji left Overwatch to find peace with his cybernetic body, while Cole went on to be a lone mercenary.

[@wanderertxt]

[@starskunk]

So some backstory to the Bastion short - part of why Overwatch was originally created was the Omnic Crisis - basically self-aware AI robots who rebelled against their human creators and waged war against them, and Bastion units were basically the Omnics' frontline forces. His mission had been to attack Stuttgart, Germany, but Bastion himself was damaged in the battle, basically knocked out for over 10 years in the forest. So that was the reason for the waypoint when he woke up, he was resuming what he believed to be his current mission, not knowing that peace between the Omnics and humans had been achieved.

[@carrot7868]

Didn't they become aware after the war? I think the Omnic Crisis was economically driven, or something like that.

[@starskunk]

@@carrot7868 Apparently, according to the lore, the Omnica Corporation was shut down due to evidence of fraud, and shut down their factories. But the factories restarted under the command of the AI Anubis, who went rogue and restarted all the omniums, starting off the war. What led to the original shutdown of Omnica was the creation of the first sentient Omnic, Aurora, though at the time of the Crisis, she was the only truly sentient one, all the others were non-sentient (so the AI controlling them was self aware, the Omnics themselves were not, so an error in my understanding in my original comment). Eventually during the Crisis, Aurora sacrificed herself to transfer her sentience to the other Omnics, which was the spark that eventually led to the end of the war.

[@carrot7868]

@@starskunk where did you get all that info? :0 I'm really curious. And thanks for sharing.

[@eagleblaze02]

Basically every time you bring up Pharah, it’s actually Ana. Pharah was a child during the time of the original Overwatch team.

[@buggo_bug]

23:54 that’s the point. He’s the first character you’re supposed to play when you start Overwatch. Whenever you do the tutorial, you play as him. His whole kit was designed as those stereotypical soldiers that you’re supposed to play at first. He’s made to be easy.

[@Callan26609]

The ammount of times you called Ana (Pharas mother) phara made me giggle

[@paper2946]

Hey! So i believe they didn't just "leave" Balderich in his armor in the castle. I think it's tradition for the Crusaders to be "buried" as they fell in their armor. Effectively becoming a monument to their sacrifice.

[@dakotagarcia7781]

the shorts were what drew people to the game entirely. I seriously remember watching the first one when it came out and NEEDED to see more. It's sad they never came out with a story mode.

[@Doctor_Yiggles]

Loved your reactions to this & glad to see you get into the characters. I don't play it much anymore myself, but one thing Blizzard does well still is their Cinematics. You really feel for the characters as if you knew them for a long time. Also, Mei is of Chinese origin. Although in game she is an annoying character to fight she is still one of my favorites representing as someone who is also Chinese. Also her story like a lot of the others really had me in tears. I have to say also if you ever think of checking out Arcane even as some who has maybe played 2 games of League of Legends even I found the series worth watching. I find their lore interesting too even if the game isn't something I'd get into.

[@wavyiavxry5616]

Oh nah the diss to Reinhardt was unbelievable🗿

[@BlastHeart96]

The Overwatch cinematics are kinda like Tales from the Borderlands (the original one as I haven't played the sequel yet). They're both written well enough that anyone with an open mind can enjoy them. Even without knowing anything about their respective series.

[@mrshadow4007]

50:20 You just triggered my PTSD. Fans waited YEARS for the entire song to be released and it came out last year.

[@seuleforever4011]

Man, this is indeed, Dreamwork/Disney quality!! And the anime style animation was amazing too!! I don't know much about Overwatch, so just based of that : I really like Mei, she's adorable and smart!! Her backstory is so sad, though! I also really love Tracer, she's so cool and funny! So yeah, I think for now, these two are my favorites!! I enjoy watching these! Great reaction, Blaze!!

22:25 That is Ana Amari Pharah's mother. 35:19 She is part of Talon. An international terrorist organization .Talon is comprised of a variety of individuals, each with their own goals and ideas. Through its leader Doomfist, its current manifesto is that humanity is made stronger through conflict. Consequently, Talon seeks to sow turmoil across the globe to strengthen the human race. 55:00 Yap that's Mei full name Dr. Mei-Ling Zhou, she is a Chinese climatologist and adventurer from Xi'an.

[@FatLittleButterfly]

I guess someone must have mentioned it already, but Im gonan say it anyway. I think the Crusader's armor is literally their coffin as they fall in battle, They will just be left there in honor of the crusader.

[@Sassaparilla]

It's also very likely that the castle in Eichenwalde belongs to him. Balderich was born in Eichenwalde, and the Junkenstein versions of the area are known as "Adlersbrunn". Adler was Balderichs family name. It's loose, but Adlersbrunn can translate to "Source of Adler" if you stretch it (Brunn means things like Fountain, Source of a River, etc). He has no known family, and Eichenwalde has been mostly abandoned since the battle, short of presumably Rein and possibly Torb. Basically, the entire city is a memorial to the crusaders and their leader, with Rein being the only known survivor. The whole reason for the Payload Mission on Eichenwalde is that Defense is trying to prevent the taking of Balderich's body.

[@joohoneybun]

no matter how many times i watch it, mei's trailer always makes me cry.

[@sydneyw691]

Man, this brings me back to watching these for the first time. I was so excited to play the game. Overwatch was the FIRST game I've ever bought and immediately loved. . . and then I played it for a few years. I admire the effort that's gone into the game, but a part of me wished they put an inkling of that effort into an animated series. Arcane did it and absolutely annihilated that success standard. I'm still holding out hope they create a series. I think, if given time and attention, it could be stunning!
