Overwatch Animated Short: "Hero" Reaction!

[@wolf10ism]

His name is Solider 76 or as he was known before, Strike Commander Jack Morrison. He was the leader of Overwatch, but after a betrayal from Reaper people thought Jack died instead he became the vigilante known as Soldier 76.

[@Rasendori06]

wolf10ism THIS COMMENT IS VERY IMPORTANT, MOLLY! Sorry Wolf. Just trying to get her to look at this one

[@molllyyy2105]

wolf10ism Omg thank you!!!! I love that you told me all this! I want to see it in a movie 😭

[@scottallen2966]

as i said you should watch the gameplay trailers. they released after the cinematic trailer and both show the names of all characters

[@wolf10ism]

No worries friend :D

[@wolf10ism]

You're welcome Molllyyy , always glad to help a fellow OVerwatch fan

[@CodexOfXol]

Just so you know, "Genji" has a hard G sound at the start. Think "Gary" instead of "Gin".

[@molllyyy2105]

Ahhh I knew I was saying it wrong hahaha!! Something just didn't feel right when I was saying it! 😂😂 Thank you!

[@magortom]

Hey, I know you love lore and world building, so perhaps you can watch the overwatch character introduction videos and then discuss them. The shorts are beautiful but are sometimes more events that give insight into the characters but are short on exposition

[@MadKlauss]

Molllyyy Since he's Japanese the pronunciation of his name is different compared to how words and letters are pronounced in English. For me it was easier because my native language, Latvian, has very similar letter pronunciations to Japanese.

[@JesusPerez-pe8vk]

Xoltan The Conqueror lol jenji

[@corvin_7]

I just love your reactions... Some info if you want: -he's soldier76, a wanted vigilante. We all know now that he is Jack Morrison, former Overwatch commander -the bad guys are a gang known as Los Muertos -there is the Horizon Moon Colony on the moon, where Winston grew up, there's only angry monkeys up there... literally -I personally think this trailer is set some years before Recall -from an in-game quote we know Soldier76 didn't really join Winston & co. on the recall train, he's solving things with another character's help (Ana, former Overwatch second in command). Hope it helped, sorry to make it this long Thanks for the video, you're awesome

[@zephyrusdraconid8780]

Molllyyy: "What if that was her dad or something?" Soldier 76 is everyone's Papa

[@elie_o-o]

daddy* o.o

[@OpeningYugioh]

Soldier 76 is Jack Morison the cofounder of Overwatch. Many thought he had died but he's been a vigilante ever since Overwatch disbanded.

[@BlueVortecz]

I'm not sure if Soldier is her father, but it would be cool. 76 is just an old man. If you may RECALL we've seen what's on the moon.

[@calvins5098]

BlueVortecz I see what you did there.

[@TheLordKnox]

Clever, very clever :)

[@jmrtnez]

BlueVortecz Soldier 76 is everybody's dad.

[@laracameron9876]

Soldier: 76 is everyone's Dad

[@nickdavis9924]

I'm pretty sure by lore he is not her father. He has no relationship with anyone at this current moment. Alejandra's father is most likely yet to be revealed. (Hopefully I spelled her name right XD)

[@BattousaiHBr]

she's already into the memes. jenji would be proud!

[@huukkeli227]

BattousaiHBr jenji

[@trilikvlt]

gengu :3

[@UsmanKhan-up7sd]

Lol you don't play overwatch its genji

[@RobinMelons]

My favourite short, Molllyyy you're nailing it everytime you upload! Been having a bum day again but thank you for posting!

[@Rising4632]

Little girl : " you'r one of those heros !" Soldier 76 : ...No i'm batman !!! 😂😂😂💔

[@angelicawolf133]

What???? XDDDD

[@josoi773]

I love this one because 76 is my main squeeze in the game. But the next two are tied for my absolute favorites. They're both brilliant! I can't wait for you to see them.

[@DarkCanter]

Very good reaction! You are very adorable, you sorta was moving your arms up and down at the end, so excited! Love it😀

[@missingno0]

If you liked this one, the next one is really gonna get you! There are also online comics that tie into the game/trailers/shorts, so if you're interested they do give some more story/background.

[@ViperleoneNevar]

Mean ol' gangsters, beatin' up helpless Omnics and stealin' Alejandra's money. Rude.

[@dirttrackart]

Man I needed that sweet, happy energy you give off right now. Never been more glad to see your late night uploads. 🙂

[@XSacredX27]

my favorite line in this. "I hate when little kids don't run"

[@KonathaoSoberuNartio]

Lol I just finished a match on this map. Love the little Easter eggs in the game. Played as Sombra, a Hispanic hacker whose hometown is Dorado, the name of the town. One of her line's before the game begins is "Ah, back home. I should stop by the bakery." The bakery is the building Alejandra came and went from in the beginning and the end of the video. Its there on the map too. Pretty cool.

[@lordofsmug8546]

Sleep is for the weak!!!!!

[@cancestro]

Soldier 76 is not her dad,he used to be apart of overwatch as the strike commander of overwatch,his name is Jack Morrison,he was apart of a soldier enhancement program that gave soldier's enhance speed,agility,stamina,and other stuff,he then lead the overwatch team through the omnic crisis,he was also friends/rivals to Gabriel Reyes(reaper),after the omnic crisis,people started to protest and believed that overwatch is harming then when they were actually helping and protection them,Overwatch was later shutdown,and many of the overwatch members were either killed or gone onto hiding,or has gone rouge,there was a fight at the overwatch Swiss HQ between Jack and Gabriel that caused a large explosion,people thought Gabriel Reyes and Jack Morrison were dead,but they weren't(WOAH PLOT TWIST),Jack then got a new alias as soldier 76 after stealing high tech tools and weapons from a place I forgot the name of,I think Helix security probably,he was wanted to stealing and doing crimes and such,but no one knew he was Jack Morrison,except for a few overwatch members like mercy(a battle medic for overwatch,not shown yet and isn't in any shorts) and reaper,and some other people. The poster shown on the wall that said Los Protectorers(i'm not Hispanic)had a picture of Jack,wearing a blue Jacket and staring towards the distance

[@CarbonMage]

Omnic: no comment Hover car: ooh, is this the future? Keep being adorkable.

[@meisvictor6035]

He was the overwatch commander and he and reaper ( the smoke guy called Gabriel Reyes ) were friends but after the war they got mad and overwatch ended , Jack Morrison ( Soldier 76 ) became a mercenary (kinda) and Gabriel Reyes was almost killed and duo to 2 doctors he lived as The Reaper, his body regenerates his cells and he is immortal from aging and he can regen very fast from attacks they are enemies now.

[@rcookie5128]

Awesome reaction (don't wanna sound weird but you react so cute haha)! Regarding the hover cars: The team that created Overwatch originally had an other MMO project going on, named "Titan". We don't know much about it but it was cancelled as they just couldn't the game to be finished and fun. Then they started working on Overwatch and some things and ideas from the old project got used in the new one (Overwatch). I think Tracer is one of the characters that just got re-used so to say. And interesstingly enough the team wanted but wasn't allowed to make flying vehicles in "Titan", that's why almost every vehicle in overwatch is a hovering one (as some kind of outlet for their former restrictions of creativity) :D

[@rcookie5128]

5:04 and funnily enough the overwatch community always makes fun of Soldier 76 to being an "dad". :D and even the developers embrace this joke and make skins and voice lines of him with dad puns.. ^^ But it's not because of this scene afaik, I think it's just because of his over all dad-esque character. :)

[@lemonkatze7461]

genji used to be apart of overwatch but left due to inner turmoil despite them saving his life after hanzo "killed" him

[@OneTrueWindfall]

not sure if anyone has gone over this yet, someone probably has but i'm going to anyway. Jack Morrison was an original member of overwatch he was one of the founders. He was also the overwatch commander for years during the omnic crisis. After the crisis ended however public opinion of overwatch began to drop and people began asking for it to be shut down. There was a large uprising at an overwatch base lead by another member of overwatch and this person and jack began to fight eachother. Neither Jack nor the person he was fighting managed to get out of the base before it exploded and both of them were presumed to be dead, an empty grave was even made for him. This event was the final nail in overwatches coffin and it was dissolved. Jack however managed to survive and with the world thinking him dead became a vigilante out for vengeance against the organization that brought the fall of overwatch, he took on the moniker of soldier 76

[@cesartripleh]

Not here dad, just a hero

[@DrknssRules1]

The man on the poster she ripped off the wall was him. Jack Morrison, before he became Soldier 76.

[@01Firewolf]

It was never fully confirmed that he is her father...but I love the theory. I support it

[@dragsob]

The blond guy on the poster the girl took home was Soldier 76 when he was known as Jack Morrison.

[@ippy63]

oh no cider and now gin ji :))

[@molllyyy2105]

What can I say, I'm great with names 😂

[@cerobio]

Molllyyy Lmao I can tell!

[@ippy63]

after these shorts you can check out their comic too

[@OpeningYugioh]

The stuff on the moon is the Horizon Lunar Colony. That's where Winston grew up ( the recall video)

[@MoreLore44]

Jack Morrison codename: Soldier 76. he was one of the original overwatch team, if you want to find out more, he does have an origins trailer on youtube that is also free to watch though not within the cinematic playlist

[@sokosemske8396]

niko avalos which one?

[@MoreLore44]

that one, if you don't see the link, it's not too hard to find, just search up soldier 76 and origin together and you should find it

[@archived6094]

To pretty much clarify, Soldier 76 is the main blond dude in the poster. When the overwatch team was still a team, Reaper and Soldier 76 were the two leaders and eventually Reaper became a traitor and when Overwatch disbanded, Soldier is more like a vigilante.

[@RavenThryfe]

Yeah Winston was from up on the moon, thats where his childhood was, you've seen it haha. Easy to forget though.

[@ravenhull]

I am thinking the mother and daughter aren't directly linked to Overwatch. Oh, some speculated that Alejandra is a character that we meet later, but it's been confirmed that thus occurs only a short time before 'Infiltration', so Ale ain't her. As for him following her home, I am thinking his base protective personality lead him to want to make sure she got home alright, no matter who she was. And the blonde man on the old poster, that was him in his prime.

[@Elanchana]

He's not her dad... he's EVERYBODY's dad.

[@alpacagod1157]

Jack Morrison (soldier 76) was the leader of overwatch when the Swiss hq was destroyed and overwatch was disbanded. the world thinks he is dead but he is not. The object on the moon was the Lunar space colony where Winstion (the gorrilla/scientists) was raised by Dr. Harold Winston. after the event of the genetically modified gorrilas revolted and liberated the colony of the scientist and Winstion (gorilla).it is unclear what happened to Harold Winston but he isn't dead.

[@akoskralik3053]

The good old Soldier 76. Great character.

[@Stargazeer]

That's Soldier 76. Aka Jack Morrison. He's the former leader of Overwatch. The blonde guy on every poster. His story, and the story of Gabriel Reyes (Reaper) are tied together. Gabriel was part of Blackwatch. Overwatch's covert ops division. Mcree and Genji were both part of the same division. Even before that, Gabriel and Jack were part of the same "solider enhancement program". Gabriel turned. He was jealous of being passed over for leadership of Overwatch. Possibly. We don't know his full reasoning. There was an explosion. Both survived, but Reyes got stuck in a form where his cells were degrading and regenerating incredibly quickly.

[@pandafire21-123]

Soldier 76 isn’t married. He got in a fight with Reaper. And he turned into a vigilante and takes down people who oppose overwatch

[@UsmanKhan-up7sd]

Yes he is, to ana

[@Aria_Sora]

Love your videos Molllyyy! Both Overwatch and Rwby, you're hitting ALL my favorite things.

[@eviljesus84]

Molly: Oh no, they're beating up an omnic! *later* Molly: A hover car (...) so is this set in the future? Suuure... cause a floating car is more futuristic than a self contained artificial intelligence

[@zomblesallegoy]

If you look to that poster, the guy on there, that's Soldier: 76 when he was young!

[@fujioka1207]

He isn't her father, he's the father of all

[@Matttsplattt777]

Idk why but the Jinji thing is adorable lok

[@kristofmagyaros2410]

I like how her pouch is a murloc in the animation :D

[@Vision_Backup]

Always love seeing people react to the Overwatch world, hope you'll have a look at some of the comics afterward (They're on Blizzards website, some fandubs on youtube too)

[@alex-ving]

Every short(well, minus one) happens on one of gthe Overwatch game maps, you can literally be in every location of this short in game, even at steps of lil gir's home!

[@finex666]

76 has the nick name dad as a gag joke. but he is not the father.

[@bucketboi8075]

that thing on the moon that you're referring to would be the Horizon Lunar Colony. Where Winston was raised.

[@heithiel2129]

i think the stuff in the moon its just what you saw in Winston's animated short, in the flashbacks.

[@phantomzero2413]

Genji was apart of Blackwatch, sort of special operation forces for Overwatch. Fun fact, if you watch the next trailer, Infiltration, Sombra was a part of Los Meurtos, the gangsters in this trailer. Also totally check out the Heroes Never Die Fan film, its pretty legit.

[@NeoUzzy]

76 is just the dad of OW. Not anyones dad.

[@tylerchurch5322]

You should look into the more of the game. Because I for one love how interconnected it all is

[@SnasyUsername]

PRETTY Sure he isn't her dad. I mean, she would probably recognise his hair and the scar that he has. Because, to be honest, his mask doesn't cover very much... Also his voice... just realised...

[@molllyyy2105]

Sαηѕу I was just coming up with the theory that maybe when see was born her dad left to join overwatch, and never came back... but secretly protected her everywhere she went! Just trying thinking outside the box and get some conversation flowing 😊

[@SnasyUsername]

Molllyyy Oh... Maybe yeah... I don't really know his backstory so i don't know if that could be a possibility. Its just that he hesitated on whether he should save the girl or follow the Bad guys. If he is her father that would be quite weird the he would hesitate like that. (Btw sorry if any of my grammar is wrong, my English isn't the best)

[@embrefrosste6044]

I'm pretty sure that Jack is too old to be Alejandra's father. If there is any relation, it has to be grandfather, because Alejandra appears to be (and is implied to be) somewhere in her teens while Jack appears to be in his sixties or seventies. Also, Jack lived in America for most of his life while this short takes place in Spain.

[@fieldmedic2627]

It's Dorado, Mexico. If you didn't know where it was, you would think it was Spain from the look of the local.

[@embrefrosste6044]

Yeah, sorry

[@korimiller379]

I heard a theory that the girl is Reaper's daughter and 76 was in the area keeping an eye on her in case Reaper or Talon came for her.

[@jonsuelassalleruiz9829]

new hero confirmed ying yi. love you!

[@jcerezo0averagegamer]

my favorite since it's shows him inspiring her to be a good person later in life :) almost forgot, there's also 4 character origins trailers that explain the background of certain characters like tracer. there's always the "we are overwatch" trailer that shows a few other characters u might not have seen :)

[@sadi5713]

In the Alive Trailer you watched. You have seen whats on the Moon.

[@kozuto1619]

I love how you call him "Gingy" accidentally. It's so cute! 😄 Now I want a Genji skin in the game that looks like a Gingerbread Man!

[@aquaimperative5618]

The stuff on the moon is the Horizon Lunar Colony

[@dontmindmeenglish5049]

this is my second fav short :)

[@erinmatejka4628]

Okay S.76 is not her dad. There is a .01% chance that they are related. And if they are he would be her grandpa or something.

[@JonathanDiaz-tk1tx]

this is my favorite one

[@molllyyy2105]

Loved this one! :)

[@JonathanDiaz-tk1tx]

Molllyyy are you going to play overwatch after watching all the trailers?

[@sokosemske8396]

Jonathan Diaz Ja. I agree, it would be so cool if she played the games

[@JonathanDiaz-tk1tx]

Soko Semske yes lol it would be awesome. i really hope she does play it.

[@PersonalDas]

Very observant of the moon

[@ant47474]

hey! I've just watched your other reactions, I left a comment on your recall reaction, explaining why Reaper is all smokey and some other cool stuff you could check out! I'm new to your channel and wanted to say that I enjoy your reactions! You are way more insightful in your reactions than many other reactors. have a good day!

[@Mayhemm007]

If you RECALL (see what I did there?), we've actually seen that moonbase in another video. In that same video it's revealed that Overwatch "hero" activity is now illegal, the program was shut down and its members scattered, so that's why he said "Not anymore."

[@GethZealot]

Soldier 76 is everybody's daddy in a way.

[@homunculus7]

Anyone else wanna see Alejandra and the boy from the first trailer become Heroes in Overwatch? In my imagination this was a few years ago and Alejandra Became Sombra

[@erinmatejka4628]

me watching the beginning of the video. HIS NAME IS GENJI!!!!

[@myrkrormr]

I know this is 3 years old, but i cant see where anyone said it. that weird design on the moon is the Moonbase (correct me if im wrong)

[@danameisblackstar]

I think he was just making sure she got home, I don't think he was her dad

[@EmilioReyes_97]

Your reactions are so quintessentially fangirl.

[@TheTbrandon]

Your reaction are adorable!

[@nessaysokai853]

I'll just be here to clarify that Solider 76 is not her her father. He is just a father figure to everyone on Overwatch because he was the head of Overwatch and got into the father figure because most of the new members of Overwatch were young. Also, once you're done with the cinematics can you do a Let's Play of Overwatch? :3

[@CodexOfXol]

Yay! New video!

[@jimmythegrunt7371]

I really, REALLY hope Soldier: 76 is NOT her dad because it would completely ruin his hero mentality of saving a random girl.

[@rmdur7567]

Molly, do you think you could react to the animated short film called 'Shelter'? You can find it easily on youtube.

[@molllyyy2105]

Rubén Gallardo Durán Maybe 😏

[@rmdur7567]

Molllyyy Hahaha thanks 😄

[@stanleyho8009]

Omnic and living with robots she already knows about. *Sees hovercraft-ish truck* is this set in the future? Hmmmm... He isn’t the father but he that blond guy on the poster before Overwatch was disband. Now he is just a mercenary and fought the kind of mafia there. And yes Overwatch had a lab there that’s where the Overwatch animal heroes come from like Hammond and Winston

[@zealousrider6612]

SD76 is not her father.. but its cool you already embrace the overwatch meme lol

[@snoodman641]

*sees sentient robot that feels and hover truck* "Is this set in the future?" :D

[@alexkeays2206]

Yes, Overwatch is set in the future. 2076 if I remember correctly.

[@sokosemske8396]

[@bearnummber1153]

The guy's name from 476 in his real name of Jack Morrison

[@dontmindmeenglish5049]

i think there r videos of orgin stories for some of these character that u should check out :)

[@qrowacheron230]

not a great day today, but this helped make it a little better

[@molllyyy2105]

manuel guillen I hope you have a better day tomorrow! "Keep moving forward" ☺️

[@qrowacheron230]

Molllyyy you just went up leagues in my book, idk if you know it or not, but that's my favorite quote from Monty Oum, creator of RWBY

[@valdris86]

there were some theories that the girl grew up to be Sombra, who you'll see later if you do all the trailers, but that's a reeeeeeeally big stretch that's only really made because they're both Mexican

[@generalkenobi8131]

Solder isn't her dad.Oh Dad 76

[@SagnikChakraborty92]

Just to let you know, Overwatch is not setup in our world, not in the future either. It is a fictional world created for this game, much like most other Blizzard games. An alternate universe you can say. Edit: Also if you read the Overwatch wiki (obviously after finishing your reaction to all the shorts, because there are lots of spoilers) you will get a pretty good idea and backstory about every character and the world, its history, the war etc.

[@villainfreak.3951]

Am I the only one who desperately wants to hug Solider 76? Just me? Okay. :p

[@tomi6300]

We love you too ☺

[@wolfgirlinfinity9412]

6:02 a lot happened to him. just a lot.

[@loth-wolf2595]

Not gonna lie, I was a bit leery about watching your Overwatch reactions due to your limited knowledge on the lore. But after watching the first few, it's been really nice to see someone reacting so genuinely to something they don't know much about. Keep it up and good luck with the channel!

[@yubeast7362]

Overwatch have Origins videos for all heros, you should watch to get more information

[@fuckyoutubecomments7530]

Overwatch is set in the future of the future Those guys are apart of an anti-Omnic gang called Los Muertos (the dead) For that guy I refer to the top comment on this video by mr Wolf10ism

[@AwesomeRainbowLP1]

Did you ever watched the Cinematics of World of Warcraft? These ones are simply amazing, maybe you wanna jump into them after you're done with Overwatch. :) Best Wishes for your channel from germany. :)

[@NoximilienBlack]

You should make reaction on stories about that heroes and bad guys... (reaper, tracer, genji etc.) There are videos on youtube, then you can play it and learn about them and make reaction.. :)

[@jxke1416]

I wish the payload moved that fast

[@zennyyrivera7510]

It's solider:76!

You should probably watch the Soldier:76 background trailer. That will clear you up a bit^^

Hello Molllyyy. on you next Q&A. COULD YOU LET US KNOW WHAT KIND OF STUFF YOU ARE IN TO SO WE CAN RECOMED STUFF FOR YOU TO REACT TO. I JUST LOVE YOUR REACTIONS!!!
