Non-Overwatch Players React to Overwatch Animated Short | "Hero" (G-Mineo Reacts) 

"Use of tobacco" is only because one of the characters smokes a cigar. McCree.

"He got fired like you." BRUH MOMENT

"I hope this guy has a health insurence" Me : *Laughs in Baptiste*

His name is Jack Morrision but he is also called "Soldier 76". I like your reaction very well and i am excited for the next one ;)

Please react to the origin stories after the cinematics, it gives more detail and lore on the individual character. It will answer many questions as to how they became the person they are today! 🤗

Soliders 76 was the leader in the overwatch team before disbanding if I remember but something happen they got disbanded and he ended up so called dead but he fake it

"Haven't seen anyone smoking..." Me: hehe, they're gonna love reunion

All the Overwatch shorts say "Use of tobacco" because these shorts are legally considered to be advertisements for the game, and McCree smokes, so that warning has to be in all ads.

highly recommend these shorts 'The Last Bastion' 'Honor And Glory' 'Reunion'

In the Overwatch universe, the robots are called Omnics (singular: omnic). They had such a super-advanced AI they developed self-will and some rose up and declared war on humanity. This was the Omnic Crisis which led to the formation of Overwatch. Overwatch aided in bringing an end to the crisis, but was disbanded several years later. You're seeing the individual stories of all their agents, and those who may become their agents or enemies, leading up from past to present time.

You've got to see "are you with us?" too. It's basically the message Winston send to the overwatch agents when he did the recall

I recommend the “honour and glory” named one next, you’ll understand the backstory a lot more

I’m honestly having so much fun watching you react, keep it up! :)

Back again with the backstories (Non-Spoilers) I consider Soldier 76 (Jack Morrison, 55) more of a Captain America turned Batman. He was a soldier who volunteered for a experimental military program that turned him into a super soldier & was the main reason he was one of the first Overwatch agents & eventual leader. Fun fact: Reaper aka Gabriel Reyes (56) was one of his closest friends & is thought to be the one who setup 76 to take the fall at the end of Overwatch.

When you watch the bastion or Reinhart short you will understand everything keep dem videos posting luv the vids

They’re going in order of how they came out.

FINALLY ANOTHER ONE! I'm dying with so much time without OW Reactions

My homie Jack Morrison (Soldier 76). Fave character to play. He was the leader of Overwatch before him and reaper (Gabriel Reyes) had the "incident". It's awesome seeing y'all doing this. Can't wait til u get to overwatch 2 trailer lol. Keep it up

Me over here just wanting to spill the whole lore of overwatch...

"he got fired like you" i-

Reaper's name is Gabriel Reyes.

"I am not gerbil-like, I am hamster-like!" - Hammond von Wreckingball

you will see about why they arent heroes anymore in the "rise and shine" and the "recall" cinematic i think and then why the omnics (the robot thingys) should be more visible in the "honor and glory" cinematic. edit: watch "recall before you watch "rise and shine"

The robots (aka omnics) actually started a war against humans named the omnic crisis, and Overwatch was the organization that put an end to it. Due to this war, a negative stigma againts omnics was left behind which is why you see the omnic being beat up in this cinematic, and that’s also why the people were gathered in support of omnic rights in the the “Alive” cinematic.

FYI, the sorry doesn’t really progress until the newest cinematic, everything else is just amazing backstories

This is “Soldier 76” . Basically the robots invaded into the world and the overwatch group tried to save each city attacked. Then the government disbanded overwatch after the invasion concluded. “Honor and Glory” is a great explanation.

"Honor and Glory" please

"Hope he has health insurance" love it

Please watch "Honor and Glory"! It's one of my favorites and one of the most important ones for the story of Overwatch overall. Also, thank you for treating us to these absolutely awesome reaction videos, I can't wait to see more :)

He was the leader of the overwatch team. Reaper, who was part of the original overwatch team, and him were presumed dead after an explosion I think but they both survived.

Solider 76 was Overwatch leader, before Reaper (Gabriel Reyes, btw his best friend ) betrayed him (earlier he was leader, but when war with robots end, Morrison took his place. Gabriel cant forgive him) and joined Talon. Then organisation fall and other members of squad picked their own way. Now Reaper is Solider's nemesis

Fun fact Sombra likes eating at that bakery when she's home bc that town is the town she grew up in

This is one of my favorite cinematics. "Infiltration" is a great one too

When you enjoy a thing, part of that enjoyment is introducing it to other folks. Hoping they like it too. These may have been out for a while but I love seeing you all get pulled into these beautiful shorts. Looking forward to episode 6! Fun fact: Almost every location in these things is a level in the game.

You should watch the shooting star,Reunion,Infiltration,Rise and shine,and overwatch 2 there are amazing

I really enjoy your reaction to these videos. Please keep making them!

"Your one of those heroes aren't you?" "Not anymore" Greatest quote out of all the animation

The cinematic’s are just the beginning there is so much lore and story in the comics and origin story’s !

1. Like others said, he's "Soldier 76". He was one of the two leaders of Overwatch (he was the leader of Overwatch, Reaper was the leader of Blackwatch, the Black Ops side of Overwatch) Before he got the mask, and before Reaper got his whole smoke powers. There was in-fighting, Reaper wanted more power or something. In the end, there was a huge explosion and I think they were both noted as dead. Dr. Ziegler (Mercy, the blonde with wings, who is a healer in the game, and whom you haven't seen yet) healed Soldier 76 as best she could, and the rest was patched with machinery. Reaper was instead experimented on by an "evil" doctor (you won't hear about her until MUCH later, assuming you do the Origin Stories as well as the Animated Shorts). He was given those smoke powers as a result. Their personalities are still apparent even with their new identities (76 still helps people, even at the risk of his life, as you saw; Reaper still just wants more power, and to do whatever he wants, as we saw slightly when he attacked Winston to steal the Overwatch files in Episode 2 I think?) 2. In regards to the Robots Oppression, as I had detailed in a previous comment, the events that happen in these videos are after the big "Omnics War", which is basically a World War of humans vs robots. Humans won, but the peaceful robots are still around, and are being oppressed because of the war.

The chemistry between you 3 keeps getting better, keep dem videos coming ;)

Loving you three reacting to stuff

There are some short animated "origin" stories on the PlayOverwatch channel that go into more detail, such as background on this guy, Soldier: 76. The short version of the overall stories is that some of these robots (omnics) turned on their masters and there was a huge war, which is why Overwatch was created, but once the war was over, Overwatch was seen as more of a liability than benefit by the public. The omnics never overtook humanity or anything, but they're a constant threat in the background. Great reaction!

Boo yeah. I love this one. Soldier 76 is awesome.

“He got fired like you” Dudes throwing shade

Oh man this was fun to watch, i'm going to binge the others and hope you do all of them! (And maybe the trailer for Overwatch 2?

“Why does it keep saying use of Tabaco I don’t see any” McCree: Allow me to introduce myself

YES!!! LOVE THE OW REACTIONS!! MORE MORE MORE!!!

Please do more this is fun to see people react to this.

The person who uses the tabacoo is the that will continue to get the time wrong, the one that will say " ITS HIGH NOON", the one and only Mecree

I hope you continue and watch them all!

I’m really enjoying this you guys are awesome

They are literally so into it😂

hyped for Zero Hour. this animated short gave everybody chills dude

Again absolutely banger of a reaction . Haha, can't wait for the next one.

Love you guys watching as a trio, three view points, learning the Overwatch Lore. Yes after the cinematics, react to the online web comics. They add more details, are short, and most of them are fan dubbed with voices, so really good and almost like animation. Many of the heros also have "introduction" animations as well as cinematics which give you more details for each one. These are all put out by Blizzard and each are a piece of the overall puzzle that is the story of Overwatch. There are also original fan videos that are must see. One guy was even hired by Blizzard to do an official video because his stuff was so good - um... he does all the Overwatch characters as cats. So there is an official video of Ana and Soldier 76 as cats that you need to see. Plus there are the Archives animations which give you more Lore as well. So, so much Lore.

'I hope he has health insurance." Soldier 76 *turns around and growls at you*

U gotta play one of the mission to know why overwatch brokedown

I also can’t wait till you guys eventually get to the overwatch 2 cinematic

Would you guys consider watching these more frequently. Love the reaction!

Yipee G-mineo Go lav all yur overwatch reaction vid and also goodjob!!!! love lots❤

Im gonna sub to see you react to every other short. Also, get ready to shed tears for Honor & Glory

So the Petrus act was a law put in place to say that no overwatch activity is allowed. Basically it’s the incredibles situation. Superhero’s are outlawed but they just want to help.

always a pleasure to watch you guys react to these videos. this guy is called Soldier 76 (real name is Jack Morrison) and to clarify about the mask that it seemes you guys where wondering about. It's just a mask, he still got his face underneath it but he uses the mask in combat as you saw that the visor can lock on targets and it is also his ultimate in the game :) his visor locks on targets and you cant miss them unless they are hiding behind a wall during the ult time. Hope that clarified some of it :)

YEEESSS I LOVE U GUYS KEEP UP THE CONTEEENT

Finally I was waiting it !😍

I can't wait to see the Reunion reaction!!

Not all part of the story is in a cinematic. Soldier 76’s next appearance in the story is in one of their comics. If you guys wanna know more try and check the comics out too.

“Haven’t seen anyone smoking...” Mccree: *sweats*

I am a waiting Honor and Glory reaction ahahahahah

I have to wait a week for the next one😭😭

@G-Mineo As someone who knows the lore to both League of Legends and Overwatch, I enjoy how you guys are trying to figure out everything without looking it up and just relying solely on the videos released by Blizzard and Riot. That is how I started and it’s nice to see others doing the same and getting to know the games I love too

Soldier 76 and Reaper were part of the American Super Soldier Program. 76 was once Strike Commander Jack Morrison and was the leader of Overwatch. Overwatch was essentially the Avengers. Reaper used to be Gabriel Reyes who lead Blackwatch. Overwatch's blackops division. Someone betrayed overwatch and aired all dirty laundry of the them. Including the blackops missions. With the Omnic War finished people believed that Overwatch was just making more trouble than helping so it got shutdown. But not before some conflict happened and the facility was blown up with both men inside. React to all the origin vids pls. Also don't forget to check out the Blizzcon introduction to Honor and Glory. It's a treat to her the voice actors enthusiasm

His name is Jack Morrison but he is also called Soldier 76. He now solo because overwatch disbanded and people thought he was dead and there was tomb for him so he decided to hide himself

The short story of Overwatch is that long ago intelligent AI tried to take over the world, Overwatch was founded and stopped them. After that Humans and the intelligent robots worked to get along and built a new society together. Eventually Overwatch was undermined and what happened is the same as in Avengers where the organization was blamed for being a menace to society and being completely shut down after an attack on the Overwatch headquarters that killed the leaders, This guy was one of them but he survived and now he roams the world trying to get the ones who betrayed them.

“It’s like rapunzel” Ultimate bruh moment

I like how he called soldier's tactical visor 'face shield'

I think you guys need to watch the archive event “cinematic” as well to help give your more lore and an understanding of what is going on in some future cinematics. There are 3 and they called overwatch uprising, overwatch retribution, and overwatch storm rising.

You guys should watch the Infiltration cinematic with Sombra and Reaper and Widowmaker - that's a really cool one! Also, I'm really having a lot of fun watching you guys explore new games and play them so please keep it up! Thanks for all you do for our entertainment

I love these reactions!!!!!! The best or one the of the best Overwatch cinematic's has got to be Zero hour which is the most recent one. Also please react to all the origin stories and all the overwatch hero introductions. The overwatch introductions give me chills everytime especially the Moira hero introduction. 💗💗💗

I think wondering what happened to all these awsome characters to get here is what hooks you into the overwatch lore the most

The mei cinematic tells your more about what happens

Love this Overwatch series 👏 😂

Can't wait for you to get to Overwatch 2's trailer!

I think wade is going to love mccree(wich e previously referred to as spacecowby) in the "reunion" trailer

You guys should make a playlist for these

Someone already asked the developers of the game about the hamster guy being a gerbilla and he has been funnily confirmed as a hamster !

There are comics and short stories too, those fill in quite a few plot holes

Wade: "why does it keep saying use of tobacco" Also Wade: "The guy with a stogie in his mouth is my favorite"

Can't wait for you guys to see Mei's short. That gets me everytime.

To put it mildly, there is an Overwatch event that's centered around effectively the flash point event that effectively began the downfall of Overwatch the event is called Retribution and it's within the Archives event that takes place around March.

I can’t wait for y’all to watch the Reinhardt and Bastion story it would most likely make you cry

Are y’all going to watch the new hero background stories?? Love the video

His ultimant ability is called Tactical Visor, which is pretty much auto aim. He focuses on any individual in his sight and does not miss any of the shots for the duration of the ultimant

guys if u wanna know more about the "before" history watch overwatch teaser cinematic. It's got out for the beta. Love the video btw ^^.

Watch the overwatch short reunion next it’s about a cowboy and a cowgirl it’s great

Jack Morrison was the Strike Commander of Overwatch. This caused a bit of tension between him and Gabriel Reyes (Reaper, the creepy wraith dude with the shotguns from Winston's Cinematic), who believed that he was meant to be the leader. Gabriel was instead leader of Overwatch's secret operations, known as Blackwatch. After a poorly executed mission, Morrison and Reyes got into a fight, with the tension building up so high that a fight broke out. The main facility was destroyed, and Jack Morrison was supposedly killed in the damage. However, he survived, and now goes under the alias of Soldier: 76. He is essentially the masked vigilante of the franchise, dishing out justice wherever he goes. The reason for the tension between humans and omnics is that this game takes place in the wake of the latest "Omnic Crisis," a global event in which omnic manufacturing factories were taken over by God AI programs, which began mass-producing deadly machines - the Bastion and OR-15 units. Because of this, many families lost their loved ones. The Australian outback was literally turned into a barren, almost uninhabited wasteland. People now hold a grudge against omnics, and will do anything to remind them that humans are the ones on top.

poor Haley its tough keepin food on the table when youre always getting let go hopefully she can redeem herself next time lol

"He got fired like you" Nah we call it a bad divorce

Soldier 76 is a lone soldier who fights alone by himself

You guys should watch either Infiltration or Shooting Star next!
