Overwatch All Origin Stories Reaction 

Even after all this time Sigma's origin story still gives me shivers he is just a crazy physician who had a mistake on his calculation and now Talon use that to their advantage, I also love Doomfist's and Moira, well I love all the villains backstorys I think they are more interesting always because they see the world in a dark view and each one of them has their view

Sigma's origin story is a masterpiece. Just everything about it is amazing to me.

The Sigma-origin-short is imo the best one, you can really feel the madness of incomprehensible power of meddling with black holes. The calming piano music contrasts the chaotic visuals so good.

Sigma's is still my favorite. They nailed the creepiness so well! Echo is an AI that learns by observing, which only a few people knew. She had been on a few missions with OW when the woman in the video, her creator, was killed in an attack at the lab. Echo at that point had observed her for long enough to make herself act and speak like her creator, becoming her "Echo". She was however put into that cradle, because Overwatch thought having an AI around would be too dangerous (which makes sense during a war against AI build by the same person). McCree (now known as Cole Cassidy, because the person working at Blizzard he was named after turned out to be not such a good guy..) was one of the very few people that knew her and ended up saving Echo from the cradle in the cinematic you guys saw. Thats the condensed version.

Nice, Moira and Sigma are probably my favorites here, the voice actors do a really good job, and the art is pretty good too.

I always forget about Sigma, but everytime I see his origin story. Just chills. Just a mad scientist with the power of a black hole in his hands. Also the contrast of such calming music with the insane visuals give off this Jekyll and Hyde vibe that fits him so well.

Fun fact, Sigma's origin trailer has a fascinating "hidden track" when viewed in reverse, there's at least one person out on youtube who's posted the reverse video. You should check it out! For what Echo was doing alongside McCree (Or Cassidy as people call him now) in the cinematic, to make a long story short Echo was made by the inventor of the Omnics who caused the Omnic Wars some 20-30 years ago and when Overwatch fell, Echo was "decommissioned" and hidden away. Cassidy basically sprung Echo out of prison by tricking Ashe into blowing up those traintracks.

Brigittes origin stories still makes me smile everytime. The I am Brigitte Lindholm. And I WILL be their shield!" just gets me every time. Love the idea behind her hero design. The backstory to her is so well made & she definitely gives some great female represantation in the game, without getting the typical female game character treatment, as it often is the case. Just an "average woman" in proper armor. And its the hero that first peaked my interest in the game. I mean how awesome is it, to engage into a futuristic gunfight with a mace!? - potentional spoiler alert for the following (depending on if you wanna read the OW comics yourself, in fact brigitte has probably the most lore of all the heroes in the game): - The Backstory to her name is that Reinhardt (the Guy from the Honor & Glory Short) once saved Torbjörns (her father) life in a dire situation. And when reinhardt visited him in the hospital, torbjörn promised to Reinhardt, that he'd get the honour to name his coming child. Which is why she has a very german name.

Ken loves the villains! Can't blame him, they are all awesome with Sombra being my favourite (though she's more of an anti-hero). It should be noted that the man you see at 12:40 and 12:47 is Gabriel Reyes also known as Reaper and was once an Overwatch agent himself. It seems Moira gave him his mist powers through experimentation

"This dude seems incredibly powerful." "And super crazy." Actually, both are true about Sigma.

I love Moiras voice so evil she needs a cinematic

The hero trailers "Introducing " sometimes give a bit more insight to personality, their toolkit which always matches the characters and sometimes a bit of story as well.

Personally love the Doomfist and Sigma stories but there's so many good ones!

6:00 Did you recognize Widowmaker int the reflection? 12:50 This guy is Reaper, btw. The guy with the white mask, black hood and cloak and 2 shot-guns. 14:12 You saw her like this in the Overwatch 2 "Zero Hour" cinematic, if you remember. 16:34 Did you recognize McCree on the right? (9:07 You saw the guy who did that one story later.)

Funfact: If you watch Sigma's origin story backwards (there's also a video on youtube) you'll hear other voicelines

hey ken and Bethany not sure if you guys read your comments but when I feel anxious or really nervous watching your videos makes me smile, please keep up the great work it’s amazing and thank you

Ahhhhhh I love these… love that y’all covering it. Thanks for vid guys , y’all helping me through a tough time teaching . Good to come home , relax and watch y’all vids!

I'm shocked that they haven't done an Origin Story for Gabriel Reyes, AKA Reaper. He's the hooded guy in the Ana origin story, and the guy with the misty hands in the Moira origin story. He lead Overwatch's covert operations unit known as Blackwatch, which consisted of himself, Genji Shimada, Moira, and Jesse McCree (Or Cole Cassidy as McCree is now known). He was experimented on by Moira in a project known as Soldier 24. (Jack Morrison is Solder 76. 24+76=100, it's as if Soldier 76 and Reaper complete eachother, like Batman and the Joker), where he got his powers and immortality. He often fell out with Jack Morrison, especially after a Blackwatch operation went south and exposed Overwatch, which eventually lead to the bombing of Overwatch HQ. Afterwards, Gabriel joined Talon and became the skull masked terrorist known as Reaper.

As a Dutch person, I do like that they added Sigma, but his story is sadly not that long IMO.

My day is saved 😭 haven't even watched your reaction yet just so happy to see this video pop into my feed, tysm 😁

Watching together with you had me feel emotional. I didn't cry or whatever it was like I feel this tightening in my chest. I always do with overwatch content.

With me being Swedish, I was super excited when Brigitte was announced. I also love just spamming her swedish voice lines, since Im most likely the only one in the match that understands what she says! :D

All the origin stories have lots of different things to offer. I love the creepy music and feel to Moira's, I like the more abstract, mysterious feel of Sigma's. I like the dramatic, very serious nature of Baptiste's, just to mention off the top of my head.

I'm stoked that you guys checked the origin stories, too. Was fun to see your surprised faces to some of them :D

Keep up the great work and happy new years

13:40 The 3 guys on the right are Genji (Hanzo's brother from the Dragons cinematic), Reader and McCree, btw.

11:10 my favorite moment!!! 😂 Doomfist is beast!!! The bane of this universe!! My favorite line!!! 11:42 those who fall will be forgotten! Those who rise up their name will be remember forever!

I loved Sigma's you could see his psychosis in it. It almost felt like a horror video. It gave me chills. Sombra and Moira are some of my favorites too.

Few things that you need to know from these Overwatch Origin Stories: 0. Blizzard changed McCree's name as part of a broader plan to remove references to real-life developers and former employees of the studio in the wake of a lawsuit. ... That includes former Blizzard Entertainment employee Jesse McCree, whose name was borrowed for Overwatch's gun-slinging cowboy hero. Now he's called "Cole Cassidy". 1. Big Overwatch Trio (the leaders of Overwatch from the begging) -> Jack Morrison "Soldier 76", Ana Amari "Ana" & Gabriel Reyes (then "Soldier 24") but now known as "Reaper". So now world thinks there is no more leaders becouse they all thinking that all off them are dead. 2. Ana hesitated to take a shot on Widowmaker, becouse she knew her before Widowmaker was brainwash by Moira. 2,5. Moira not only brainwash Widowmaker (to make her kill her own Husband -> Gerard) but also as the experiment took away her feelings. 3. If you didn't notice Moira in her Origin Story create Reapers powers (Gabriel Reyes). 4. OR15 -> OR15A -> ORISA 5. Sigma -> After his experiment, Sigma split his personality into three people, Scientist, Madman and Murderer. Also in the game sometimes they're arguing. 6. Sigma -> In Sigma's breakout you can hear guns shooting in background. Fan fact we players recognize those guns, Reaper and Widowmaker was those who reliese him from the Mental Hospital. 6,5. Sigma -> 20:02 if you look in at scene in x0.25 speed you can see for a split of second that he Smile (my favorite and the most creepy detail in Overwatch Origin Stories) 7. In 12:40 you can see old team of bad guys of Overwatch -> they create a team called "Blackwatch" (from left:"Moira", "Genji", "Reaper", "Cassidy") but after those years Genji turned to the good side, Cassidy also but he do not want go back to the team Overwatch, Moira and Reaper are still bad guys (but tbh Reaper do not really wants to be there but he also thinks that he do not have a choice). Rest you probably know from rest of the comments, cannot wait for more 😎

hey just wanted to say your videos always make me laugh and smile after a long day of work, thank you 🙏

Ahh you guys checked it out, very nice i remember recommending it to you guys but i'm glad you liked it!

“That’s not always a good thing” that’s his philosophy Beth doom fist believes humanity can only evolve through conflict witch is why he’s with talon, most of them like sombra, Moira and reaper are there for a reason of there own while windowmaker and sigma are people they use as weapons.

One thing you wouldn’t have known is that in the doomfist origin story when he broke tracers pack it almost caused her to faze out of existence and genji tracer and winston are considered the most powerful in overwatch so he almost won a 1v3 against the most powerful warriors

"Call me a Vigilante if you want, Truth is...I'm just a soldier." -Soldier:76 Honestly I absolutely love that line

I've been waiting so long for this 😭

I'm not sure if you read these anymore, or if it's been answered but Mcree/Cassidy was Dr. Mina Liao's Bodyguard and was very close the the echo project, thats how he knew where the train robbery was in his animated short.

Yes! So happy you guys watched these. I personally loved Sigma's. It was so out of left field. "Gravity is a harness. I have harnessed the harness." It's only disappointing that he turned out to be an average character with such an epic origin story like that. Ana's and Soldier's are solid imo too.

Yes you guys have such awesome and good reactions glad you’d liked it CANT wait for more great videos

I miss Overwatch. Hadnt played it since 2019.

Just found out about this channel, seems very good. Subscribed

Congrats Definitely & Not Definitive you have reached over 103k Subs 🎉🎊

just a quick note since it came up with the reward money in the junker trailer: It's heavily implied by ingame billbords and such that there's been some serrious inflation in the overwatch universe. a single coffee at the route 66 dinner is listed for 250$ irc

Usually when a new hero origin story they release a little movie showcasing the hero using all their abilities to ultimately win a round in the game. Usually listed as "[now playable] hero name".

The Mccree video takes place after Overwatch fell apart as told by Morrison and Mei as it was attacked and disbanded. In another trailer you hear the Older Brother say how some of them are mercenaries now and others who knows. Mccree says in his video how he got a call (winston's message for all the old Overwatch agents to get back together) and that he could go but he has things he needs to do first so he came for her so she could go. My guess is for lack of knowing how, she was missing that chip he had so i'm guessing maintenance or stasis pod. My favorite truly is between Ana and Baptiste cause they both have good messages and views on life. Which if it wasn't clear in Baptiste video, he at one point joined a bad organization which was causing the same damage that lead him to the path he was on which brought him to that group, so disgusted with becoming the "big man" instead of the "brave man" he left them and as far as i know he is on his own and possible may get picked up by Winston and friends later. Reason for that is Baptiste was orphaned after the Omnic Crisis which was the war Overwatch fought in lead by Jack Morrsion.

Ufff you really need to see the gameplay trailers to see how they interact in the game (you'll be suprised by how wrecking ball is played in a shooter game)

I still get goosebumps from all of sombra’s videos even after watching most of them

Love seeing yall react to overwatch best youtube couple

I love the overwatch cinematics

fun fact: ashe and the formally known as (mcree) now named cole cassidy actually started the deadlock gang together, thats why in the cinematic there was such like a moment in between them. 2nd sad fact: also his name was changed due to problems with him being named after one of the former employees (jesse mcree) who worked at blizzard got reports of sexual harassment, and they didnt want to associate with him anymore whatsoever. now you learned something

The characters have their own gameplay trailer which display their abilities and you can see them in action, they're very short but they have some cinematic to it, you guys should check them out, they're so good

So to sprinkle some extra goodies in. Moira made widow into the blue skinned murder machine she is. Also turned Reyes into reaper. Ana is phara’s mother. For sig if you watch his origin story backwards all the odd sounds are actually him speaking backwards. If you like brig know that the community hated her for 2 years from her release. She was an unstoppable monster. She was a healer … but had a personal shield that gave her more effective health then most tanks… and when she did damage she healed herself so she could put dmg dps in 1v1 combat. Top it off on she gave 150 armor (over 50% of most character health) as an ult that as you got more of it the armor got better. Usually armor either takes off a small amount of the incoming dmg to act as better health. Her armor took off an additional and stacking amount. So with full armor from brig you took less damage outright on top of having 150 more health. She shaped the game for 2 years because of how strong she was. I miss her release power every day I play :’ (

2:10 Gives me "Today on World's Dumbest" vibes. I expect the back lady to pop up and start roasting them.

Doomfist, sigma and baptistes origin stories as so dope I love them.

After sigma’s short I see him differently now

I like them, but I'd definitely say Sombra and Ashe are villains as opposed to in the middle. They both kill, manipulate, and destroy to get what they want directly at the expense of others. I've never thought about them as particularly grey; just more self-serving as opposed to being dedicated to a higher goal or organization.

bethanys realisation about whats happening to the rabbit at 12:17 LOL

I'm not sure if you guys remember or not but you've seen the Doomfist gauntlet before in a previous reaction you guys did titled "Overwatch Cinematic Trailer Reaction". This was the video where there we two kids in a musium and Reaper and Widow attacked it to get the gauntlet while Tracer and Winston protected the gauntlet and kids.

For me the Ana Origin is my fav with Sigmas one. I mean she gave everthing to protect the ones she loved the most. An yet she faced Widowmaker and hesitatet for which reason ever. In game she has some voicelines about a male person (doesnt know his name anymore) but both seem familliar with him. Ana told her that he never loved Widowmaker in a real way. Maybe she hesitatet because they both know that person? However she lost her eye because she hesitatet an Widow didn´t. Sigmas told the story what you earn if you play with things you cant understand or control. The match of unlimited Power results in a chaotic disaster for his mind. Fun fact. The Piano plays when you use his ult ingame. He lifts everybody in a great area up and smash them on the ground. They way they told his story with the voices in his head and the music. Gosh this was so awsome I get spinechills all over! Really creepy and tragic in some sort of way. Good reaction like always

It was revealed at some point that Sigma didn't actually know he was being used in the "evil" Talon organisation, Sigma is not an evil man, or at least he wasn't. They broke him out of the mental institute he was held in, so his fractured brain lached onto them, and he thinks that he is using them to accomplish his goals, when it's really the other way around.

Love videos always glad to see next notification =]] Junk rat is my fav to play in Over watch... an the Toys Roadhog stole from the poor kid is a patchi mary

Some backstory on Hammond He was part of an experiment to see how apes (and a hamster) could develop their intelligence while on the moon. One day the apes faked a building malfunction and gathered all the scientists into the airlock before jettisoning them out into space. Winston was the only gorilla to not partake, and actually had began building a ship to escape back to earth. Hammond made himself a pod to tag along with Winston. The cord keeping Hammond attached snapped and he crash landed in Junkertown, Australia. Hammond fashioned his pod into a spherical mech loaded with guns, a grappling hook made from the broken cord, and a voice translator since he can’t speak. He joined a fighting arena and became the champion without anyone knowing he was a hamster.

The Universe is SINGING TO ME! 😵‍💫

Easily my favorites were Baptiste and Sigma. That black hole experiment failure warped his mind. He was such a brilliant physicist too. Baptiste I'm happy to say learned his lesson. When he said the thing about taking a helping hand even from the devil he was referencing Talon. Thankfully he soon learned they were very bad and left them. He's still being chased actually. There's a story ( I think a comic or small novel) that they based his mini event after

Sigma's origin story is just too good

I’m pretty sure you guys are yet to see Symmetra and Lucio as they don’t have any appearances in any ow media outside the game

I love, love, LOVE Moira bc 1. She’s a baddy 2. Her “balance” theme she need to dmg to heal 3. Her whole ascetic

Rewatching this!

Hell yeah i love this channel

Appreciate you doing this. Also, I know you probably missed this, cuz you it's only obvious to people who collect OW skins - but this 12:59 is the birth of Reaper - black-cloud shotgun-wielding hooded villain that you saw in Winston clips.

20:26 the ending is so cold tho🤩

what roadhog was carrying are Pachimari some kind of squieky toys

Speaking of tf2, i believe lazy purple( a super talented writer animator and tf2 player) has opened up reactions to his series called how it feels, and he goes through the tf2 classes i reccomend starting with spy and or scout first, cuz it starts going in a clip order starting with engineer, then to sniperr, then pyro, ending with demoman

Really love this channel. 🥰

Symmetra just hits different imo, she and widow has been my fav heroes since release

7:17 (pfft for some reason _Ana_ "Ana" amuses me) 14:45 I remember when they changed him from Hammon to WB I was like ????? Though yesterday binge watching all those Apex Legend videos made me consider it was the "Hammon Tech" vs an unrelated Hammond or smth I couldnt think of a good reason otherwise 18:55 oh hell I love him so worried about the reverse 20:48 AYO WHAT I GUESS.IBE NEVER SEEN IT? 21:13 FINALLY HEARING DR LIAO WTF OMG 21:55 ohhhh She's Dr. Lao's _Echo_ wh

Echo is a super weapon made for overwatch, mccree (now named Cassidy) was preventing it from getting in the wrong hands in ashes animated short

For context brigette is torbjorn's daughter, but became great friends with reindhardt. (torb is the short guy, hes a super engineer) Also Ana is Phara's mother. (Phara is the woman with the blue suit that flies around in one of the earlier trailers you saw) oh also mccree got his named changed to cole cassidy cause the guy he was named after ended up being a complete creep.

The Sigma Origin story has a lot of secrets in it. You can find out more about them in the video "SIGMA HIDDEN MESSAGES IN BACKWARDS AUDIO "RELEASE ME" | Hero 31 Origin Story | Overwatch" and its comments.

This is the ray of sunshine I wanted in my RU-vid feed today :D What MBTI type are both of you? (if you happen to see this & if it's alright of me to ask)

Neat little fact about Tracer and Soldier 76. Both are gay. Adds some interesting backstory. Doomfist the guy with the big robotic arm actually is missing that arm and the one you see him punching the prison wall with is a Prosthetic.

Brigitte is my favorite! 🛡

Overwatch's lore is the main reason I still love this game. Characters, organizations, events - all this builds the world of this game, an interesting and detailed world. It's a pity that Blizzard has been taking little notice of the game lately, but comics and stories are still coming out! PS If you want, you can read comics (and stories too), they also shed light on some events in the game world and tell more stories of characters

No negative energy claimed

Sigma's origin story still is my fav origin vid. If you didnt notice it. Moira created Reaper. She gave Reyes his powers.

The doom story is the best

I am a little bit late, but there are actually hidden messages in Sigmas origin story if played backwards. You can also interpret a whole new story by the visuals that way

Basically theres a bad group known as Talon which consists of widowmaker, doomfist, sombra, reaper and Sigma, but in sigmas case as you saw hes not very stable and talon are basically using him as a living weapon

kinc ase it wasnt answered mcree (now called cassidy) was the doctors bodyguard so that is how he knew echo so well

Even though I stopped playing overwatch after Echo's release - Sigma's orign story - is by far - still the best one. They really nailed the crazy / unpredictability.

If you guys do the original gameplay trailer #1 and #2 that came out when OW did, you'll see all the heroes that existed at that time (every hero since then has had an origin story). It shows their abilities and names and just kind of gives you at least a taste of who they are. The dwarfy guy is Torbjörn. He's close friends with Reinhardt. Brigitte is his daughter and Reinhardt is her godfather. Also, Ana's daughter is Pharah, who is a hero and is in the gameplay trailers.

Like everyone a year ago, Sigma is my favorite. Its kind of mesmerizing watching him fall down the rabbit hole of madness, seeing the two sides of him. One obviously mad, but more in line with his original personality and one that just has all of this power and the mind to use it nefariously. One can't really tell which is the more lucid side really, because while one is obviously mad and almost incoherent with rambling thoughts, there is no telling what reality the alternate personality is living in, even though his thoughts appear more coherent, yet violent. Would that we could dive into the mind of a mad man.

I think you neeeeeed to see the little intros of the characters. Brig is my favorite. How can I share the video?

Sigma is my favorite but most of them a really good. Enjoyed my stay ^^

Brigitte is definitely my personal favorite of the Overwatch characters. Mercy and Reinhardt are my two favorites from the original lineup, and Brigitte is kind of a combination of the two of them. A sturdy badass warrior frontliner who focuses on supporting her allies, and it doesn't hurt that she's kinda hot lol. My favorite archetype in role-playing games has always been the paladin, the tanky healer...and that's my girl Brigitte in a nutshell! If I ever actually played Overwatch, I feel like she'd be pretty much my only pick ever lol. It was fun to watch all of these! I'd only ever actually seen a couple of them, and it was neat to get to see where they all came from. Even though we kind of got some of his story in the background of others' videos, I'd really like to see a legit origin cinematic for Reaper. Cool stuff. :D Once Blizzard eventually gets itself back on track, I'm really looking forward to all the new stuff to come out with Overwatch 2. They're so good at building worlds and filling them with interesting characters, and their animation department has always been one of the best in the industry. Can't wait to see what they give us next! :D

The distorted segments of the Sigma origin are the speech of his shattered personality, when played backwards. There's a vid that shows that it's VERY cool.

As a Junkrat main since day 1, i would appreciate a fully animated Junk/Roadhog cinematic short.

There's a new story of the outlands! For Bangalore!

Just got my first gold weapon (for Brigitte) in overwatch and this is the perfect video to celebrate with.

17:50 Is a global terrorist organization called Talon. Widomaker, Reaper, Moira, Doomfist and Sigma are part of Talon too.

Not sure if it was mentioned but Ashe's voice actress is Jennifer Hale, the same woman who voices (female) Commander Shepard in the Mass Effect trilogy (and many many other characters as well) , another absolutely amazing game.
