Overwatch Animated Short | “The Wastelander” [4K] 

No

Am I the only one confused about the “item shop” you guys were talking about?

Amoung us?

@@Noah-hx9oi like other games, skins, icons etc...

Wheres the nintendo switch option??

Junkrat is a wastelander...

@@ritzharris1303 06:32 😆🙌

@@ritzharris1303 not really junkrat is a junker at least at this time he lives in the city not out in the danger hog is arguably a wastelander though he doesn’t live in junker town but instead outside of it sense he likes having his own space and seems to kill anyone who dares come to close which is probably why junker queen treats hog with a lot more respect than junkrat sense she doesn’t see hog as a weakling who hides behind the walls but lives in the danger

Junkrat for king who’s with me

@@sebas_hi junkrat is no weakling, he just prefers talk his way out of situations, but remember that he's probably the best of the best when it comes to explosives, the reason he and hog got thrown out of junkertown was probably a situation right after hog and rat left the bar where junkrat hired hog as bodygueard where queen wanted the secret of junkrats revealed and sent her goons on him

We live in walls because of the blood thirsty kangaroos.

agreed brother

"What is the best way to defeat your enemy? To make them your ally."

@@kingcamelot1395 similar to, uh.... Mad Max is pretty relatable to that in a way

Junker Queen: *shows them mercy* Mercy: hello 👋

@@kingcamelot1395 Sounds like Thrawn.

absloutly mercy pocket

She's all like "I'm a hardass merciless warlord!" and then she wins her tournament arc through the power of friendship.

@@Stupidpublishers Warlords inspire though. No one follows a warlord because they are great, it's because they inspire others that they can be just as great

I disagree

@@denethorsmackinonmatoes6800 Warlords terrify. Leaders inspire.

@@xuto2693 Yeah, and warlords lead: through terror and inspiration. Get your absurd platitudes out of here. Violent leaders aka warlords inspire others to follow them, often through deeds and not words, and very often through sharing loot.

And wrecking ball lol

I saw roadhog too

The 3 Good Junkerboys showing up were the best part

Where

@@alyrenee5094 in the photo compilation

or that the bucket was made from metal

or the popcorn was made of metal

what type if popcorn bucket is made from metal? I dont think its a lot.90% sure they are bombs since thats what junkrats entire play style about

you can clearly see its a metal bucket. handle and everything.

I legit dont see it?

It’s just a short, not really that deep

@@Chunkyjalapeno That is literally the point of the short though. To show how good she would be as a leader of Junkertown.

@@Chunkyjalapeno Take off the kiddie wings and try again

@@Chunkyjalapeno You really have no idea how much planning it takes to make a short engaging, deep, and informative, especially in a _short_ time. There is this famous quote, "If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter". Making things both concise and effective is a difficult feat.

@Koori Graywolf dude it’s a short about a character in a video game, doesn’t really matter.

You would never think he would become the most annoying little prick to her

Man I stood up too!! ❤️❤️🥹

@@aguyontheinternet8436 I mean he DID boo her at first 😆

@@oscarlimas5624 Right?! I haven't been this pumped about a new character since Ashe/Echo!

@@AnnetteGAMING yeah and then there the stuff he listed in his short

It's like mercy with a blade, let him suffer a little longer

Please that bottle of water ain't gonna last, that was her taunting him further since there's no way a coward like him will survive out there he doesn't have the actual skills and courage to do so. It's like giving someone a wet towel in the Sahara Desert after leaving them to die because you know the towel will dry up quick. That's why they call it false hope. 🤣

@@dewolf123 That's the point. It's not suppose to last. They've been given nothing for 7-8 of them. He was given a small bottle that he needs to learn to manage (which he probably won't be able to).

@@TheCursedCat1927 Oh alright

Oh that was water? I thought that was liquor?

yeah that's the whole theme of the video

she can't be in the same team with roadhog :(

I think meri and that Swiss army knife guy have more intresting designs. But i guess putting them in the game would require a lot of effort considering how much details they have.

She can't interact with roadhog

A thousand times over.

You realize she probably kicked him out for one too many explosions right? She probably likes the little nutball but property damage is property damage.

Yeah, way worse in my opinion but hey, each to their own

@@ProphetofAmun Yeah, I'm like "can you please shut up for a minute?". Really gives off "main character syndrome" vibe instead of "fighting for revenge/justice". Off putting.

Yea, not a fan of that narrative style, makes it hard to watch.

@@Crad-YT depends on how its set up honsetly as a character trait. if they have it as a 'she has developed a case of schizophrenia where she believes she is being watched at all times'. but have it as a case where its developed as a coping mechanism from isolation. she believes someone is there cause the other option would be that she is completely alone.

@@Crad-YT But she literally is the main character of the short?

That’s what I was thinking

Basically a hanzo ult that you can aim? Would be pretty cool.

my idea is that it would move forward slowly and anyone that gets caught in it starts taking bleed (the scrap cuts them) and then it tosses them out in a random direction

I thought summoning those two junkers she saved would be cool but that would probably be better for the pve mode coming out.

@@chrisgarrett6305 I felt more like an all dps Moria ult

Service based games are far more profitable, they have no reason to do that (as cool as that would be).

No

oh my god, i have seen that type of comment a thousand times over, please stop it

Indeed man the quality is unreal

@@-demiurge-8398 Well something like arcane for OW would be really good

And he was booing her before!

@@misterfevillord1588 knowing Junkrat he was probably just going with the flow of the crowd.

he be lovin her

He just wanted to remind her who her number one simp is

Jameson's an excitable guy

Wastelander is just there fancy name for outcast, and if you got exiled that makes you automatically lowest class and they do it make it hard for you to return, because you not just need to return you need to survive on wasteland first. Also the show king being exiled at the end not to just to show he got what he deserved, as they can use that character in future to make story more complex, besides having junker queen and king characters is kind of cool.

awesome how she never killed anyone, but she did it without anyone noticing

"Scavengers" and "Tinkers" are also mentioned in this trailer, which seems to suggest that there's a whole bunch of these different groups.

Would be nice to have more focus on her backstory living in the wastelands as opposed to constant fight scenes, it's cool to see how skilled she's become but it'd be cooler to understand how and the character development would be stronger

@@y0blue They are probably saving that for the pve part of OW2

Woah! Are you at the right game? EA might see this 🤣!

Ikr we got to see our girl Mad Maggie go wild!

@@nelsal6416 you do know junker operates Maggie right?

If anything it'll probably like Arcane LOL series but OW be better.

Honestly the only thing about Overwatch that was always top tier and never disappointed.

Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series

For now just watch arcane league of legends sonic the hedgehog movies castlevaina and the witcher

If Arcane can do it, so can Overwatch. ✨️I believe✨️

@@nailinthefashion I agree but the shows would have a competition. In my opinion overwatch would win

@@emerald_s9023 I don't think that an overwatch show would be similar to Arcane/League of Legends since they have different themes.

Welcome to the Apocalypse, Kev!!!

Kev! Glad to have you here

i think wally is gonna have a new side main

Truth!

She's giving mad Maggie Walmart version

right?? i love it also

Hopefully it won't take a few years after the cinematics dropped like the last OST

Heyyy! your best bet on a longer version is on her origin story, the full theme plays through it! hope this helps!

Great to see you here gc!!! Love your music and im happy youre as excited for ow2 as I am!

After years of doing near absolutely nothing. We present. A single hero!!!

@@mafinalmessagechangedaworl7131 they're going to be like 3 new heroes on launch, maybe even more

Exciting times my friend. A new overwatch renaissance is upon is

I wish there is an animated short of hearthstone voyage to the sunken city

me too! I feel excited for this the first time in a long while

You do remember the hype died in a day right? The only thing that can save this game is the PVE, and it better be good.

@@iambutter25 always people like you in comment sections

She knows the other competitors are strong so making them allies rather than killing them is better in the long run.

What? She had an axe in every poster Community thought shed be a melee hero, and she very much is. Axe swing and everything

if Roadhog was in her place that king will be BBQ alive

What did we know?

i think shes not the one thrown them out

6:52 she hates omnics though that's messed up

@@rekt_yer_nan_darding_5788 consider Australian history with them, one can see why. Omnic war turned Australia into Post Apocalyptic Mad Max/Fallout country. It makes sense why they hate Omni to the guts

Junkrat blew up the Summer Shack that's why he got kicked out

​@@ownphantomandtoy sure it wasn't the beatdown at the bar?

@@mothichorror446 or stealing the queens cash?

@@elfumidoreviscaratoroflung Whatever it was, you really ticked off the big boss this time. I don't think they're gonna let us back in

@@thegreatmonacage3782 Well there's two things that solve every problem. Money, and Explosives.

I also noticed this difference... in the game, she seems like just a psychopath who enjoys destroying everything, but in the animation, she is intelligent and a natural leader... I wish her persona in the game was like that.

@@comphicnander1962the queen life really changed her

Same and not just how they met either. We already read the comic, we watched the short, and the origin of them during their worldwide heist and after they blew up that one guy who framed them for insurance fraud. What's going on with them *NOW* in terms of this story where the chances of a second Omnic crisis is being threatened. Roadhog who lived during it (only to go on a raid on the omnium since the Australian government gave up their home) and junkrat born after it how would they react to something like this?

A LOT of people in the OW universe have been largely ignored for lore content. I still wish to see at least SOME lore where Zenyatta is the main focus.

Idk about "wrongly" ignored. There is a ton of story potential in all the corners of the OW universe, and only so much manpower and time to tell it.

I wanna know RoadHog story so bad. The big fella is completely a mystery.

@@sinnamonski685 Junkrat wasn't technically born after it. If you follow the (admittedly wonky) timeline he was about 5-6 when the omnium blew up.

Can't tell if I'm more happy about Overwatch or about Sty not hating life

idk, couple of moments deflated too quick. tension could be kept up better. felt similar to the DVA one.

Pprt

Glad you feel this way

Apex

I actually missed Wrecking Ball's appearance. What timestamp are they at?

@@ridley7498 6:49

Pretty sure he's also watching her arm wrestle at 6:59 to the bottom left of the overwatch logo. Looks like he's in his junker outfit.

@@lazypengoo9648 I completely missed that one lol

I mean as long as your not a omnic your fine

i love the detail that she wasn’t treating them as enemies but rather future subjects/allies. she’s gonna be the queen, after all.

I don't like that a lot, feels a bit forced by Activision as to keep the Teen rating. I'm a pacifist myself and believe everything can be solved without violence, but it doesn't fit her character a lot

That is a very interesting twist to the arcehtype

@@nxt_tim I mean really Overwatch has never been particularly dark to begin with

@@nxt_tim Buddy, did you forget about roadhog, widowmaker, soldier 76, reaper, doomfist, moira and others? Does EVERY character have to be ruthless for ya?

Maybe, because if a character isn’t shown to die on screen there is always a chance for them to come back.

I know it’s weird and doesn’t make much sense but I wanna see Geiger (the red guy) as a DPS character yeah I know he would just look like a genji copy paste but if blizzard is gonna keep up with this nerf bs power trip then what could it hurt

Yeah!

wat up ari

Bro I used to be obsessed with your genji videos

@@ryan-tl1wr same man same😔

hi

Yea most people get fired for protesting and not working for 18 months

It's great to see you again! I can't wait for more lore content in the future!

This makes me want to play as Junker King

I love your videos! Good to see you back

This just in: YT acct with financial incentive to enjoy a game, is excited for game

@@poosley7476 Wait...how can a youtube account be excited? HAVE RU-vid ACCOUNTS BECOME SENTIENT 😳

They already made a movie, Warcraft and it didn't turn out great.

@@zaryee6588 Warcraft was not animated.

Yeah, yeah, people have been saying this for over 6 years.

@@khazms it's just said for lives now

It would be ridiculously expensive to make a full length movie looking like these cinematics and it would probably take well over 5 years of non stop work. Blizzard (moreso Overwatch) doesnt really have that big of an audience to make up the profit for such a project. Something like Arcane for Overwatch could work though

Only 1 tank in team so can't interact with Roadhog sadly

@@gorodn009 they will fs make some because there are a few ways you can have friendly tanks, esp in arcade.

@@razerscale3590 not to mention pve

@@gorodn009 she can interact with thr enemy roadhog

best part: tank

And seeing the junker queen and her family being banished from junkertown is kinda harsher because her parents have kids

​@@joshuasebsebe1047 it also sounded like her parents also fought a war alongside the former king too, so he just used them and tossed them out!

I coulda ran blizzard in middle school fr

The lore management was also pretty shittily done..everything was just like. Oh new stuff here. Oh we forgot about that old lore? Don't worry about it. God forbid the team gets into controversy cause then they introduce a new secondary character that changes a main character so they can get diversity points without actually putting in effort. Aka Richard I still think they should have used Li(lu? I can't remember the other original founder of overwatch the Chinese male) and had reaper kill him at the Switzerland base giving solider a valid reason to really really hate reaper. But then make it so he wasn't actually dead but crippled like genji but captured by omnics and make his release event the only event you'd need to play first to unlock a character (unlocking for everyone else after the event obviously) where the plot is solider and a team going and saving him from the omnic forces.

@@ShuTheIdiot I feel like Soldier has a fairly good reason of disliking Reaper, but okay

I know!! They really impressed me, I was expecting another brute

zzzzzzz.... oh sorry we're we talking about morals stuff? yeah..... alright..... that's pretty boring...

its cringe tho ngl

I like that she has good and bad qualities. She is obviously racist towards Omnics, but she is a good leader, and an honorable fighter. She didn't let the other fighters die even though nobody would have blamed her for killing them.

@@tirelessfrog916 Define 'another brute'? OW doesn't have any traditionally brutish characters. Reinhardt is refined like a paladin. Doomfist was the head of a worldwide criminal conglomerate, who managed to break out of a maximum security prison on his own. Roadhog is the brains of the operation of the most successful robberies in the world. And Winston is a.... uh... scientist.

I would love an Overwatch tv show

Would watch the heck out ofit

I agree fully! Blizzard cinematics is what made me buy Warcraft (not wow), Starcraft, (the cinematics for SC2 is my favorite short animations by far), Diablo and fell in love with the OW cinematics after I started watching them after playing the game for a time. Blizzard have an amazing animation philosophy for all their teams. I love it!

*Warcraft 3 Reorged dead in the corner* Yeah, totally never disappointed 👍

Yes I thought the same thing!! There could have been different ways to design Junkertown w/o making it mimic Borderlands, but even the character intro highlights were very much like Borderlands. With their own stop frame and caption too. And I 100% agree about the one dude looking like a Psycho. That ran through my head when I watched this.

I'm not saying it's bad, I loved it. Altho I guess it does take away from overwatch's own design

This was before he got kicked out

You forgot there was a time where ppl asked for overwatch to give up on the game and just join pixar for a movie

That's Mrs. Clean 💀

Making her a tank definitely feels fitting after watching this.

To quote George Ushiromiya from Umineko, "...You spoke of force as a monarch's third power. It looks like you still misunderstand the meaning of that force. In this situation, force doesn't mean hastily wielded violence. It refers to a deterrent, knowledge that if someone opposes the monarch, that person won't get away unharmed."

@Legion More original than your comment ♡

She not only spared his life, but the small detail of filling his bottle with water when they tossed him out was 👌

@Legion Isn't it? These days, every single time a female character does something that is taken for granted and treated as totally normal for *male* characters, there's a vocal part of the internet crying out because some guys are hurt in their stereotypes or something. Curious how nobody would have bat an eye if this character was a dude.

Eh that be cool but i doubt They include That Self talk in Game And it's Won't looks as good imo

the fight was very anime and I'm all for it

Self talking would fit Sigma way more, yet still they didn't add it. So I doubt it will become a thing. Speakkng of Sigma, he really doesn't have a lot of personality 😅

@@solidagold115 i Even forgot he was a thing

I feel like here, the audience is taking the place of an imaginary friend. Like if they went out in the desert and she was losing her family and started seeing hallucinations that got her through the whole ordeal.

Just JINX on minimal, BASED >:/

I disagree, this one falls flat compared to others (not in the animation, thats always the same. I mean her story/character.)

@@aradiamegido2965 totally, compared to the reinhardt and bastion short, this feels boring. Not that its bad, excellent animation. It just lacks the amazing cinematography and storytelling the others had

wait till it's reveladed she's bisexual

​@@thog9501 Basically went: "Hey chat! I'm going to join this tournament and third party everyone else to become queen! Woohoo! Like and subscribe!" Yep... Riveting story telling lol

Arcane but with overwatch

OMG Yes!!

blizzard has an in-house cinematics team, they make every cinematic for overwatch and other blizzard games. almost all other game developer hires animation studios like digic pictures or blur to make cinematics for them.

you should check out the world of warcraft cinematics then ;)

@@stickboi922 that happens with every game, while overwatch has had it the worst.

@@BPgamemaster12 it is most certainly after

@@anonymous-fm2bg as far as I remember didn't they become partners while she was already the queen

@@nerdyandweirdybutmighty5256 They did yes. The whole reason Roadhog ever agreed to help Junkrat was because he also wanted to get back at the Queen

That doesn't really say anything about her character because they're not allowed to have anyone die in these animations, it's basically a childrens show bad story line and all.

@@orion10x10 Balderich and Mei's crewmates: 👁️👄👁️

@@orion10x10 Reaper most certainly killed some guards in the “Infiltration” cinematic Soldier most certainly killed some of Los Muertos in the “Hero” Cinematic Widow killed Mondatta in “Alive” (granted, he’s not human) And Reyes indisputably killed Antonio in the opening cinematic for Retribution Point being, if they wanted someone to die, they certainly have a way to illustrate with minimal carnage

@@orion10x10 Well, don't you look silly.

Worst cinematic actually. No idea, no soul.

@@zommer23 I agree. They just made something that looked like borderlands and little story elements.

Pretty sure both parents and the oldest died, leaving Junker Queen as the oldest. This is also seen at the end with her and her siblings, but we see neither of her parents.
