A GREAT DAY | OVERWATCH ANIMATED SHORT FEAT. MAUGA 

He carried

WHERE IS REINHARDT!!!

True but he didn't blame support like a true tank main does

when I saw him running away to go brr on some enemies I knew I was playing him right

Yes bro😂😂

If Mauga wasn't with Talon or just straight up crazy he and Rein would get a long just fine.

Reaper and S76 play that grumpy dad role.

Reaper was so ready to kill Mauga, literally.

He literally experienced it before in the Infiltration animated short where Sombra didn't go with the plans and just did her own thing.

I don't realy miss the dual tank days, but lord these two tanks charging into the backline to get kills together without a seccond thought for the rest of the team is something I can see with a terrible sort of clarity.

Ya know... you're right!

New sombra is both much more fun to play and play against, so we should actually be thanking Mauga.

ohhhhh, i hadn’t even thought of that, that’s kinda genius

But she literally still used another translocation? Even if he broke it I would assume she just has multiple

@@arryn786 When she placed it down at the beginning its how her playstyle was pre-rework. Her throwing it and instantly teleporting is post-rework.

He was supposed to protect them staying outside

@@sus6371 And he did, but in a different way-

Imagine Overwatch doing a covert operations and disguising and they send Winston of all people

@@ByllionBucksor the 8 feet tall german knight with a rocket on his back and fighting with a rocket harmer.😂

Or the hulking fat man with a gas mask

He should have brought someone like anyone that isnt mauga my guy is a samoan beefcake with a concert for a personality

@@farizr.batarai8271 “concert for a personality” is so accurate and definitely a term I’ll be using in the future lmaoo

@@executive.jaystar Guns are his instruments

I think Mauga is there just incase everything goes wrong. Whith it kinda did.

His other tank option would have been a schizophrenic black hole so I guess he was the stealthier option. But yes Doomfist clearly isn’t as smart as he thinks himself to be if he thought Mauga was in anyway stealthy.

It's kinda like how Junker Queen was shown at first glance to be strong, cunning, and intelligent but with a layer of compassion rooted in her own vulnerability, then later shown to be a muscle meat-head that doesn't like vegetables.

Commenter discovers misdirection in media

Exactly, he was described as a secret master tactician that just loves to have fun. Also that smile is beautiful.

Every Talon character is either "the smart one" or "secretly the smart one."

I don't get your point, they make him look stupid and then show him knowing something and doing it without telling the others, so it's really stupid to risk everyone's life for no reason.

I wish they made that a skin for him in game that be nice

IMHO, I think he looks better with a shirt. It makes him look like a body builder. Imagine if that shirt had a chest logo that served as his calling card, kinda like the sugar skull Sombra has when she does her hacking jobs

You are praising Blizzard for making cheap animations? This community is hopeless.

I think they would make it a skin but I just hope it’s a blue or purple and not 20 dollars… for a shirt

@@Cabono31 Do you honestly not understand the nightmare it would’ve been having to draw all those tattoos frame by frame?

Agreed we need one now. I need a clear explanation of the lore xd

It's up to Microsoft now and they did the Halo series and Fallout series is going to be next year, I hope overwatch is next

Would love for them to make one and dive more into Hanzo and Genji's childhood.

You know how Arcane made people forget how bad League was? I want Overwatch to try it too, they have the money, they have the writing potential, give it a shot.

Actually, Activision isn’t in charge anymore ever since Microsoft bought them out. Now Microsoft is giving the devs at Blizzard more freedom to make the amazing game they wanted to the whole time! It’s possible that without Bobby Cotick or Activision breathing down their necks telling them to over-monetize everything that they COULD make an animated series

I was just thinking that and I thought it was so clever

Nice eye! I totally see that now.

It’s an amazing detail!!! Makes the rework so much cooler and Canon!!!✌🏾😎

they basically killed her with this rework

except she could always do that...

Akande is too uptight.

That was Dooms plan all along. -Travis Santiago-

⁠@@a_skellingtonPower cores are probably EXTREMELY hard to come by or create, given how just one could keep that massive ship afloat. And since Mauga destroyed the dish at the very beginning, the ship couldn’t tell anyone that Talon was there at all. All everyone else knows is that something caused the already damaged ship to explode, possibly the same ex-Overwatch agents that caused it to go down in the first place.

@@a_skellington Counterbalanced by the time and resources saved by skipping the R&D and prototyping altogether. Knowledge is only useful if you have the time and resources to act on that knowledge. Speed can and does beat Knowledge if you can act at a speed (with sufficient Power) that is faster than can be reacted to. Does it matter if your enemies know you have a fuckhuge battleship if they have no access yet to any weapons to counter it, let alone have any produced?

​@@a_skellington since sombra has most of the data talon's nerds only need to compare the incomplete blueprints with the actual core so yeah, even with the time lost in completing the data, the prototyping will be speeded up witch will make talon win a significant amount of time in the end

The sexiest with Reinhardt is here !!! Let’s go!!!! So badass.

Mauga just perfectly describes what today's Blizzard is - a shitshow

@@Kabachokeboooo

@@Kabachokehuh? did you even watch the cinematic? He seemed like he was just causing havoc, but was really being very calculated and assertive.

​@@AetherMoose Like Blizzard

I don't think Reaper is completely heartless (there's even enough rapport there to at least tolerate Sombra nicknaming him "Smokey" and "Calavera Man"), but he mostly understands how capable his team is. Dare I say it, he even trusts Sombra enough when she says she'll get the job done before bailing. I think in the moment though, Mauga made for a suitable distraction for them to continue the operation. He had no problem "dealing with Mauga" on Doomfist's order once the mission was completed, even going so far as to non-verbally ask Sombra's opinion on how to deal with him by holding up the gun.

I think both him and Widow are losing their loyalty with Talon, or maybe even using Talon much like Sombra is. I think Widow's brainwashing is starting to wear off and I think Reaper has noticed, but hasn't said anything. (Mercy even says in pre-game chat that she knows Amelie is still in there, all she needs to do is run some tests). And I think Reaper has just had enough of Moira experimenting on him and just wants to get away from her, honestly. And much like Widow, Mercy wants to help him and has offered (thanks to some pre-game chats again) but at this point he just doesn't trust any scientists so he's leery of accepting her offer.

​@@SinadaAnastos I've always been of the opinion that Reaper was playing the long game with Talon, like his interests *are* actually aligned with Overwatch, but he wouldn't make for a very good man on the inside if that were clear. Now, it's also possible that that was the original goal, but now he can't survive without Moira and is stuck doing the dirty work because otherwise the careful balance between regeneration and decay that he strikes will fall out of balance and just flat out kill him.

@@Mr.MonacleI like

u shouldve seen his book, he even wondered if the people he killed had their own lives and families...😭

the villains lore is so good i have a billion animation ideas of them, too bad im bad at animation so i cant really execute them... 😭 (tho, since my dream job is to be an animator maybe in the future i will)

arguably more fleshed out cus the heroes have about as much flesh to them as a KFC chicken wing

@@TamWam_ do it anyway how else will you learn

@@TamWam_ bro I feel you, I have the exact same problem (just not with overwatch)

They’re way more fleshed out, bar genji, hanzo and reinhardt the heroes have f all depth to them

Awesome tfs Hellsing reference.

​@@jshewman6575 nice

He's definitely on par with Alucard in that regard. 😆

Reading this comment made me realize Mauga gave off TFS Alucard vibes in this vid!😂

Alucard: NAILED IT!

I find that ironic because Sombra gets on several Overwatch characters nerves. Now she knows what it's like if someone else sticks their nose in your business.

Makes you wonder what could make mauga angry. Bap's probably the only one that knows

One of my favorite interactions: Sombra: Try not to blow up anything valuable this time... Mauga: Is someone still mad that I burned down the server room? Sombra: I lost a lot of bank account numbers, AND MY FAVORITE PIZZA RECIPES! Mauga: NOT THE PIZZA!

Fr Fr

She can control me and I would love it

Her and Mauga were practically meant for each other XD

@@akionlizardI think he’s got his eyes on somebody else

@@PhysicallyAwake He wants to take a ride on Roadhog's roadog if you know what I mean.

Lol

he took it (literally)

I can imagine the conversation at HQ. DF: Mauga? S (wearing a backpack on her chest): He jumped. With a parachute, I imagine. But I managed to get a story out of him. DF (raises an eyebrow): Go on. S: Mauga used his knowledge of ships to execute a slightly louder stealth retrieval. He tried to tell us, but we kept telling him to shut up. The initial explosion when we entered the ship was him destroying the communication antenna. Everything else--him splitting up from us, the system lockdown, the entire ship exploding--were mere side effects (opens the pack and takes out the relay with a smirk, shocking everyone) of him getting me a souvenir while avoiding any leaks. DF: ...Your trust in Mauga? S: Still zero, but at least he's a useful loose cannon. DF (nods): Get the Relay and data to the technicians. Dismissed. (walks off)

He made his own objective

I was thinking the same thing.... which will, of course, pit them right up against OverWatch, since Bap joined Cassidy's team in the "New Blood" comics

he referenced to this ingame as well, when u pick sombra + mauga

What he actually says was "Looks like you owe me one", then laughed and said "but who's counting?". He's not keeping track, to him it's nothing but dust in the wind. He's just there to have fun.

@@Toast_94”but who’s counting” could mean she owes him quite a lot, or maybe she held him to owing her something in the past and he’s taking a jab at her. or it just is straight up sarcasm, and he is absolutely counting. he seems like the kinda guy to do that

Use sombra? Haha sure 😂

I mean he basically fixed events he caused for an operation he didn't need to be on XD. I was like oh he is actually smart till i realized he tripped the security to begin with.

​@DPowered2 it's also a "give a fish vs teach to fish" situation. Knowing how to build and how a nuclear reactor works is far more valuable then a nuclear reactor, much less a second-hand broken one.

@@D.Jay. its not really the same, as this nuclear reactor can be researched so you can get the blueprint anyways. And it probably saves a lot of resources for building it. It also prevents nullsector from having it. to fit your acronym it should be giving a blueprint or teaching them to get one

They really need to give us more of these, especially for team talon, but I honestly wouldn't mind one with a bigger budget, with the same quality as the Kiriko cinematic or the Dragons cinematic. But at this point just give us more, these are really fun

Glad that Mauga is finnaly going to be playable AdamVoidless, it truly was soo long since their official announcment in 2019 🙌👍✌️🤗☺️💫✨

The sexiest with Reinhardt is here !!! Let’s go!!!! So badass.

@@pwpqwq7648 i rather have them at this quality if that means i can get more and it’s a nice change of pace from the cgi animated shorts

💯💯💯

are you christian? (i just saw on Playstation channel in this same video lol)

This explains the current overwatch fan base so far well. *Sees no gameplay whatsoever *Aggressively pisses pants in excitement *Buys $25 skin

@@juiceboxbzrk Yeah but we got to play Mauga already. So I dunno, maybe that'd be best to describe how people were when Sombra was hinted wayy back. Cause the anticipation for her was so hyped back in OW1.

@@juiceboxbzrk mauga got play tested for like 4 days during blizzcon.

​@@AndersonMallonyMALLONY-EricCFS teir character for an F teir game, how thrilling.. Also the fact homeboy here asked if OP was Christian also kinda encapsulates the current player base lol. Only some drooling troglidytes would still find this game compelling. But to a person that believes a 2,000 year old fairytale over convential science or you know.. common sense, they'll eat it right up.

eahrjr

EXACTLY BROOOO

hes in meteor strike

Probably a satellite view, not him actually in space

I believe it's an exaggeration

this has me thinking because mauga mentioned the reason for the mission was to extract all of the data from the power core of the null sector ship for doomfist to build his new "power thingy" but what could that be!

@@ReThiink probably a really strong air fryer.

But smarter

I don't think he's even inherently evil, not a good guy by any means but certainly not a villain-level bad guy

@@ashegaming3530 he kills for fun 💀 the first thing he did when he woke up was choke the doctor who did surgery on him to death. 💀 nah actually he SNAPPED HIS NECK, that man is evil bruh

@@ashegaming3530nah he’s evil forsure. The fact that his personality can make you think he isnt, is part of what makes him even more nefarious.

@@ashegaming3530 Look into his backstory. He was ordered by Talon to tear a town apart to find someone, and he did so even if it meant killing civilians. He's a complete nutjob with no morals.

No wonder Talon keeps failing

​@@whitejesterto be fair they've failed everywhere else EXCEPT where Mauga came in 😂

It's still stealth if there's no one left to report it.

@@sebastianrodriguez8992nah frrr 😂

@@quangnguyentrung647can’t be any witnesses if there’s nobody around to witness

I'd say Sigma is even more so. At least Mauga knows what he's doing, Sigma is just competely out of touch with reality.

⁠@@adalwolf8328Sigma is also somewhat mind controlled/ manipulated by talon so Mauga is still one of the most unpredictable talon members.

@@adalwolf8328 I think he's TOO in touch with reality, like the very foundation of it.

​@@ol4414um Sombra?

Mauga strikes me as someone who has his own personal agenda. He's not a good or bad guy, but he has no qualms doing whatever regardless of morals

And also a madman

idk if he's cynical, he sort of seemed the opposite in this short

@@lozeritis9612he may look cynical, but he is not

He's coming for Heavy's gig!

He's kinda a Himbo, but smarter (and more bloodthirsty).

It's never balanced around me.

Who doesn’t want to

How could you not lol

You sound confused

Welcome to being Bi. Enjoy your stay.

SOUNDS LIKE HIM

More 1:51

Mauga: "Hey, you guys know what we should do?-" -We should just take the whole dang power core! They won't need it now! Sombra: "Yeah! Grab the data, like we PLANNED!"

​@@chronigma75and he took it literally like LITERALLY

I was honestly wondering when he started formulating his plan

Dead game

Fun fact; Alucard is Dracula backwards

"My boss is a woman, I was a chick in the '40, I hate everyone equally, and there is NO ONE alive who can understand my sexual preferences"

@@Iate20bricks nobody asked for that

@@GARDRAWS bro u didn't get the cit

@@Iate20bricksnice reference 👍

Very much agreed.

Yeah, same for me Dan, i am hopefull that Blizzard will hire this animation team, and Mauga is truly a real force of mass destruction, plus, he is a vaulable teamemate 😉😎👍✌️🙏🙌

We need more of this.

I do wonder when the idea fully kicked in was it before or after he shot the satellite? My money is before

Agreed, this was brilliantly animated. The characterisation for Talon is great too.

Fr

It would have like 10x views if they had it yesterday

Lol

Real

So real! Even PlayStation uploaded before Overwatch

prob caz reaper can solo doom

​@@soshelp4085Its because sombra did that too in the original cinematics

Thing is sombra is definitely keeping that and letting mauga take the fall.

@@nope9885 are talon operatives really that sneaky or is it just sombra

​@@hiddendriftsIt's just Sombra.

@@leebulger7112 seems legit

I think they would be more successful making an animated show than making the game

​@@it1745Absolutely this

​@@it1745it would probably boost their game passively too like what happened with league

for real

They should But ya know activision they hate that they only wanna get the money out of ow But don’t worry microsoft is here and they might do it honestly I would want warcraft movie part 2 the first one was good

fr talon lore is amazing

Talon has the best characters and lore

This is why there should be an animated Netflix series.

Been saying this for the past 5 years. Blizzard don't listen.

Dude, same for me MarcosCastro, this need to be an animated series, with that same team who made this miniature episode (by the way, fun fact, this animation, was done by same people who did a Batman Arkham movie) 😉😎✌️👍🙌✨❤️‍🔥🔥💫

​@@croteam17Assault on Arkham? If so, I can definitely see the similarities.

Eyup, that's this Batman movie that i mentioned@@starrycanvas., thanks for reminding me of it's original title, and yeah, there are huge similarities indeed (and i bet that this is the same animation team indeed) 👍✌️✨💫😉😎

i think it looks and would be better in the original 3D style

Her messing with him is really funny, and him tolerating it is also funny 😭

Untapped potential imo

Saying this for years 😔

Or would suck just as much as the wow movie

How about doing good games instead?

Maybe they will now that Bobby is gone

Who?

Sombra's smg was hanged sideways and slightly higher than her hand, so she probably just putting her hand in resting position

She'd had been reduced to Swiss cheese lmao

@@terr2907 Definitely looked like she was ready to grab the gun. Hand close to the trigger with fingers extended and ready to grip.

He was probably aware the entire time though lol​@@CopShowGuy

@@borzoilover4156 Definitely. He already knew Doomfist wanted her to "Handle it"

Finally someone sees the resembalance

A couple of the newer characters also don’t have cinematic shorts yet. Ramattra, Lifeweaver and Illari.

@@pokeaust7800We’ll probably get a 3D cinematic for ramattra considering he is the main villain to the in game story

I believe Zarya briefly appeared at the end of one of the cinematics to tease a followup that never happened, but that doesn't really count.

@@Toast_94the follow up is in a comic

@@thefeogordo5444 ah, that explains it. Ty

glad you said Mauga or I would've never guessed

that's me, ayy

They should make a series like RiotGames did with Arcane, but I’m not sure blizzard could pull off a complete story that goes on multiple episodes or even seasons.

Honestly though!

Fr, she always messes around and tells him not to 'take things so seriously' lol. Then he has to just tolerate it 😭

In lore she probably still has it like that but to balance her gameplay she has the instant teleport

This was almost undoubtedly in the works before her rework.

Think about it, is like after this incident, she now realize having one at hand at all times is better and hence the rework

I think they used the short as a way to bridge the old ability and the new one cause at first she leaves it like the old ability but they break it then at the end she uses it more like the new ability to get into the jet as she's leaving cause she throws it and teleports right after. Pretty cool if that was the reason they did it but yeah leaving it is definitely old ability.

I think they actually reference it in a pretty smart way, as you can see in the short it doesn't work as it previously did, instead she uses it in the rework way (short distance insta-teleport).

i need more stories about talon

Indeed it even included a (hot latina cyberpunk) GOTH just for accuracy

I KNOW BRUUUH

16 more episodes*

Now she knows how annoying it is for some else to get up in your face and stick their nose in your private business.

It's perfect

@@theliteralsun5246first pause second of all bucket you jealous

Mauga continues to by my favorite character (lore wise lol)

Hat was a pelican he shot at. Also he didn't kill it, it just flew away.
