[@Drocksas]

A little extra context for this cinematic about Reinhardt: he always was - and still is in the lore - a very jovial person. He's loud and maybe a little obnoxious, but it's never meant to be mean-spirited. And young Reinhardt is basically all that turned up without the tempering of experience and realities of war/hardship. Believe it or not, you'll still hear him laughing and having a blast in-game as you play and enter fights. But the main difference is that he now realizes just how important it is to be there for those he fights *with*.

[@Alexanderthegreat159]

Yeah Reinhardt instantly became my favorite after this

[@B1RDSEYE]

Personally, I love that Balderich wasn’t bitter that Reinhardt had essentially caused his death. He could have been angry and resentful, he could have cussed Reinhardt out, and made sure Reinhardt knew it was his fault that he was going to die. he certainly had a right to do that, but Balderich was a better man than that. He doesn’t actually say “I forgive you,” but instead encourages Reinhardt to return to his team, to his protector role, and this time, to do it right. And at the end, when they recite the Crusader’s motto to each other, you can hear “I forgive you,” in Balderich’s line, “live with honor.” And you can also hear “I’m sorry,” in Reinhardt’s line “die with glory, old friend.” And I think it’s capped off with Balderich’s smile at the end. He can die happy, knowing that Reinhardt, the excellent warrior that he is, will take his responsibilities seriously from now on. I love when media shows people living up to higher ideals like that. The virtue that Balderich displays throughout the cinematic is selflessness.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Well said 😊🥲

[@avsbes98]

7:37 Yes, because of Tradition. A Crusaders Armour is their Tomb (at least if they die in combat). Also iirc it is hermetically sealed so it wouldn't smell or something like that anyways.

[@Starsaber222]

Except for the hole stabbed into it (and him) by the OR Omnic.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Still seems somewhat cold 😢

[@Souledex]

@@Starsaber222 which it could easily seal against with foam because it definitely is designed to seal and defend against smaller wounds than that. It’s probably designed to seal human wounds too it just wasn’t enough, but I imagine thats the main reason he kept running so long after injury

[@Souledex]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames maybe. But hiding them away rather than building a shrine or even using their body as one could be seen as minimizing their sacrifice too. It’s an interesting tradition they definitely came up with so it could look cool on that map but I can’t help but speculate what lead to that tradition so different from German burial practices.

[@HiddenWindshield]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that the level designers just put his armor in the level first, just as a feature that looked cool, and only *then* realized that the logistics of it wouldn't work, so they made up the "tradition" after the fact. After all, what happens if the armor is damaged to the point that it's no longer sealed? They just avoid that part of the city/castle/whatever until the smell goes away?

[@Tazkar]

With Reinhardt from how he is portrayed, I think he actually always was a good person at the core, jovial, and arrogant as you said but I think its because he still has that mentality of 'We always win and come back!", versus his mentor and friend who already knows the horror of war. He has to basically grow up and work past the arrogance and ego of youth as well as the air of invincibility one tends to have when young. But yeah they left him there, A Crusader's Armor basically becomes their tomb when they die in battle.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Good perspective on Reinhardt. Definitely agree that he was always a good person at his core. Just misguided at times as to what’s truly important in life and what honor and glory really represent and how to achieve each. ☺️😊

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

It's practical, sure - consider that this stuff likely is connected directly to them in some ways, reading and perhaps supporting their biological functions, and that's setting aside the issue of moving several tons of armor around a person that big. But also, it's respectful. They took an oath to fight to the end, and they kept it. Taking their armor, and passing it on to the next with a new coat of paint and an update, or melting it down for resource, and just disposing of the body isn't at all respectful to the person they were, and what they stood - and fell - in the name of.

[@kingtonsiljockey528]

"I have been called...I must answer...always." 😭 these short films are so much better than most recent movies

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

[@Phoenixillusion18]

At Blizzcon The voice actor for Reinhard give a little behind the scene moment while recording the lines for this. He said they where both in same room face to face and he repeated the "die with honor old friend" multiple times and one time he actually got emotional and started to tear up, looked up and the producers from outside where making signs for him to not stop and continue because it's perfection.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

🥲🥰 love that

[@Laraluis78]

One deep underlying context of this cinematic is also seen when you play the game (usually). As a new player of overwatch who tries Reinhardt you will often see them charging into fights and swinging their hammer ALOT. The more experience playing the game they earn and the higher the ranks they climb, you eventually see them change and be more protective of their teammates with their shield. Just like the cinematic..

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

😊🥰🤗 Love that

[@pacifistminigun3987]

yea, pretty much. i think it can be a sort of reminder overall (like, i know i Rein's strenght relies in his shield, but sometimes i have those days when i just say "fuck it" and go full aggro just cuz i am bored, potentially ending up being yeeted into respawn time)

[@Cloudy_SkieZ1]

Nah, Rein even at higher ranks aren’t successful because the “team” doesn’t ply their roles. You’ve got healers trying to do damage roles; you’ve got Widows trying to “get gud” during comps matches. Game literally gives me heart palpitations because they don’t play together as a unit. Only then is Rein successful in his role

[@tophercuadra3817]

@@Cloudy_SkieZ1 I disagree I’m sure everyone does their roles if we talkin about high ranks that’s how they got there

[@Ozraevun]

A real Rein main charges a DVa ult to save his team. All jokes aside, I agree with you.

[@Stefan-xt5sk]

I've watched this many times already, but I teared up again when Reinhardt finally understood the full meaning of "Live with honour, die with glory.". When he understood that it's not "Live with glory and never die". Such a realization from naive/ simple minded characters always hits me differently, because their emotional reactions feel more pure and unfiltered.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Well said 🥲😊🤗

[@fadeddragon123]

Yes. It is tradition and seen as honorary for a crusaders armor to be their grave. Them leaving him there dead in his armor is honorary even if it’s seen as messed up today. It’s interesting to see how viewpoints change over time. My favorite part is how the term “ fight with honor, die with glory” changes meanings throughout the cinematic

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

😊🥲

[@UncleMilo]

I liked how this was the other side of the battle. In Bastion's animation, you see the Bastions charging up against Crusaders and so now this one has us on the Crusader's side fighting the Bastions.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Interesting. We hadn’t realized that 😃

[@devilsadvocate22289]

Everyone focuses on when Reinhardt and Balderich say “Live with Honor, Die with Glory,” but the quote that really gets me is that Reinhardt at the end echoes the first thing that Balderich says in the beginning about joining Overwatch: “I have been called. I must answer. Always…” Reinhardt answers the call because he is honoring the wishes of his old friend and mentor. He feels like he owes him that much. Loved the reactions! This short and Dragons are my two favs out of the OW shorts.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Yeah his “always” at the end really does hit hard 🥲🥰

[@MrMarinus18]

I think another great line is the one time Balderich scolds him "Luitenant! You took an oath to be a crusader, now keep it!" The oath they swore were not some big words that are fun to say. They have meaning and when Reinhardt said them he took on a responsibility. You can also see it that the only time Barderich get's mad is when he tells off Rheinhardt to fall back to defend his squad. Barderich is a very forgiving and lighthearted individual but he does take vows very seriously.

[@shadowfox8748]

To the point of the statement “they left his body there?” I’d see it like how when a warship is sunk they don’t get the bodies because that is their graves. This uninhabited castle may have been much the same. It is in itself his honored grave.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Good point with the sunken warship 🙂

[@sanswithagun7368]

"A crusaders armor is their tomb."

[@kinjiru731]

Reinhardt is one of the most popular heroes in the game for a lot of reasons. When this video came out, we knew he could be cocky at times but he is so selfless and honorable in the game that we never expected to see this backstory and it blew us away. As a bonus, Reinhardt's voice actor, Darin De Paul, is a fantastic and really fun guy.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Love it 🥰☺️

[@FalconMaCloud]

When reinhardt's commanding officer baldric says " the team needs you be their Shield" brought it all together to me because Reinhardt in the game says " don't worry my friends I am your Shield" that just shows the kind of impact that his commanding officer's death had on him.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

☺️🥲

[@Starsaber222]

The castle in this was in the background in Bastion's cinematic and the flashback that Bastion downloaded was an earlier phase of this battle before the Omnics made it into town. You can actually see Balderich in that scene.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Oh wow. Will have to rewatch that one now 🥲

[@thebeatts]

My favorite part about this video is how much it reflects the duality of playing with Reinhardt's kit in the game. The inexperienced players rush in chasing glory for themselves (trying to kill enemy players with hammer swings or rocket-boosted charges) while better players understand that Rein is better at protecting the team and letting other characters have the glory of getting the kills. And the BEST Reinhardt players know there's a time and place for both styles and deftly swap between swinging and shielding as team fights play out. But I just think it's really cool that they took that dynamic from the gameplay design and made a compelling character arc out of it. I can't think of another character in the game that is presented in such a thoughtful and cohesive way. (Not to say they don't all achieve this to some degree, but it doesn't hold a candle to Reinhardt.)

[@thunderspear2251]

This one hit me like a bus when I first saw it. I've always been a fan of knights, living by a code of honor, etc. and seeing that final exchange between the two just hit me so hard. "Reinhardt, LIVE with honor". Telling him to make it out of there and represent the Crusaders in his place. He is now the one history will look to when they ask "What does it mean to be a Crusader?" He now holds not only his own legacy, not just Balderich's legacy, but the legacy of every Crusader in his hand. "DIE with glory, old friend..." Both of them know that this is the end of the line for Colonel Balderich. This is where he's going to die. But he'll be damned if he's going to just lay down and die. They're not going to tell the story of Colonel Balderich, who died quietly behind the closed doors of the Eichenwald Castle. They're going to tell the story of Colonel Balderich, who was mortally wounded in battle, but still brought down a battalion of Omnics singlehandedly. THAT is the death that he'll have. And that last part, when Reinhardt lays the medal on the throne, he's showing that he's still living with honor. Brigitte tried to tell him to just ignore Winston's call to arms. That he owes Overwatch nothing, and this isn't his fight. But Reinhardt doesn't fight for Overwatch. Reinhardt fights for honor. And on his honor, if you are in need and you call upon Reinhardt Wilhelm, he must answer. Always.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

☺️🥲

[@GK-bt6fr]

I know I’m 2 years late but Reinhardt handing over his hammer is super significant, because it shows that he’s going to be their shield, because without his hammer he can’t be as offensive.

[@opticmidnight2629]

Those suits of armour is basically a tomb and they weigh alot, though they likely left him there as honour the person and the sacrifice and lesson that was taught. At least for me and my mind set and how the character is now decades later.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

He was kind of on a throne. Not like they left him in gutter so I guess it works 😊

The crossover of roles is even more pronounced than you mentioned. Reinhardt isn't shown using his shield at all before he leaves Bauldric's side, and Bauldric's shield is broken before they get into the castle. So at that moment, Bauldric has no choice but to be strictly offensive, and Rein gives him his weapon, so he has to be strictly defensive. It's a nice touch.

9:45 The giving of the hammer actually meant something else too. Without the hammer he can't go hunting robots anymore. Him giving up the hammer is a true promise that he has learned his lesson and won't go solo hunting anymore. That glory has to be earned by doing the right thing and not chased selfishly.

[@Zeptil]

As someome who is not emotional I totally cried the first time I saw this short and it became my favorite short by far. There's so much meaning in the words that Baldrich conveys to Reinhardt during their final moments together that is apparent by how Reinhardt carries himself in game. In game when you use the shield he often says "Don't worry my friends I am your shield." And I totally teared up when Baldrich told him "Go, be their shield." when I realized that that was the reason he says it. The score totally also sets the stage. I can't say enough about this one to be honest 😅

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

You summed it up well ☺️🤗

[@grxh6633]

Since I don't see anyone else commenting it, Reinhardt gave his hammer to his friend to prove to him that for the rest of the fight he will not be engaging in any combat and fully going on to protect his team.

Thanks for pointing that out 😊😃

This is by far, my favorite Overwatch short, this one and Wake Up, Sleepy Heads. Anyways, some cool tidbits, Reinhardt, when he activates his shield in-game, says "I will be your shield." It means so much more after watching this. Also, the way the leader killed one of the last robots, when the turbo activated and he smashed it, is Rein's ultimate in game. It's cone effect that stuns any enemies caught in the slam. Really cool how they portray his moves in here in different parts of the video. Also, you can use the leader's skin, both his Crusader armor before he died, and his armor with everything overgrowing on it while playing Rein. The name of the skin is called Griefhardt. Rein is definitely one of my favorite personalities in the game. He's very loud, boisterous, confident and crazy charisma. Would be one of those guys you'd like to have a few with after a long day at work haha. I'm not sure if you know the game well enough, but there's a lot of respect and admiration to the voice actors who voice these characters. Later on, if you're interested, there's plenty of cool videos of them all in their own panel answering crowds and throwing out little voice lines their characters say in game.

[@lingbomanbo]

What I love about this short was it really kind almost encapsulate Campell's heroes journey concept in a really nice manner. It had the status quo with Reinhardt status quo of him going for honor to the test he gets when he get injured by the omnic. That omnic is base one on one of the character you can play as Orisa by the way. Then he get tested he must learn to be a true hero. I think he always though the hero is the one who runs toward danger when as you say he learned what it meant was one who must think of other before himself. The other girl in the short that arguing with older Reinhardt is Briggita which is another overwatch character. Reinhardt was actually let go by overwatch for being to old and did not do him any favors so that why she so much against him coming back in. It shows even despite the adversity he has to come, he stills come back in. You can get the feeling old Reinhardt may have not come back. Just my two cents about this cinematic and its deeper meaning.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Definitely worth more than two cents 😎🤟

As i was re watching your overwatch videos i had a question! After we push through the orgin stories for the hero's, will you be watching all of their gameplay trailers? I cant remember if theyre long or not but I know you said you were gonna watch the Apex gameplay trailers so i was curious if you'll do the same here lol

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Oh yeah we want more Overwatch for sure 😀🥳🥳

Great video I really like Reinhardt’s backstory. Would you guys every react to Doom externals trailers or all the glory kills? Would love to see the reactions to either.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

We will start with trailers and it’s definitely on our radar 😁

You can find the commander's body still where it is on the throne In-Game. Also the moment Reinhart says "Shields Failing." Is a voiceline he actually says in the game when his shield breaks.

yall have the best reaction videos

Thanks! 😃🥰🤗

All the places in these shorts are maps in the game. Hanamura, Galbratar, Dorado, King's Row, Paris, Junkertown, Antarctica, Route 66, Eichenwald and Numbani. The heroes in this one are Briggitte and Reinhardt. Also the young and reckless Reinhardt reminds me of low rank Reinhardts in game.

[@Scorpin7]

I loved the last comment you did about Boromir Bethany, very clever 🙂, and I didn't know that about the character creation, it's a nice perspective, thank you 🙂 I'm happy you loved the short so much, like I did. I hope you enjoy the last one/s (I don't remember if there is more than 1 left 😅😆). A big like 🙂

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

There’s a handful left which we are thankful for as we love these Cinematics 😃🤩

[@anoven7008]

The cool thing is that this is an actual map in the game, and you can see Balderich armor on the throne in game

You guys should DEFINITELY see the new For Honor executions! Due to the pandemic, we have not had new Character unique executions in over a year! These ones definitely did not disappoint! Love you both ❤️

This map is one of my favorite to play on. Good ol eichenwald. But Reinhardt I ain't lying when he said he will always answer the call. He will continue to answer it until the day he dies as long as he can put that armor on

And now I hope u guys understand why we woudnt shut up about these 2 cinematics :) .Anyways great reaction as per usual cant wait for u to check out reunion and zero hour(IMO next best 2 cinematics)

The hype was well deserved 🤩

FINALLY, the video i've been waiting for

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

😊🥳

[@xiodun]

I find this cinematic really amazing because it really manages to make us feel the different emotions, honestly I almost shed a tear for a character that barely appeared for about 10 minutes. I know that Blizzard hasn't always done good things but I have to admit that for the work they did and the quality of the cinematics it's really good. It would have made for some great little series, too bad it didn't happen.

When a crusader dies his body is left on the place he died, like some kind of historical marker

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

[@gorgeouszan]

There's a voice line in the game for Reinhardt when he is selected at the start of the game where he will declare "I will be your shield.". Much later when this video came out it really changed the meaning the impact of that statement.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

☺️😊

[@elwourmo993]

this cinematic brought the character (reinhardt) forward so much, he was always just the lovable, if kind of akward, grandpa, but this made us realize why he is the way he is. Still a bit of a showboat but very much a protector more then anything. I always feel somehting in the very end when the old, battered and bruised rein just says "I have been called, I must answer, always". By the way the girl in this is a very interesting character too, she's his squire and goddaughter, who he got to name after saving his best friends life. And she follows his footsteps but also tries to do her best to avoid situations like her fathers (in which he lost an arm before reinhardt could save him) and be more supportive and less reckless to herself and others.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Thanks for the extra info on the girl in the vid 😃
