Unfun fact: Tracer greatly admired Mondatta (robot guy that got killed) and carries enormous guilt over this moment. In one of her in-game pre-match voicelines, she wonders if things would be better if she let Widowmaker kill her instead.
No, at the part where you guys thought the robot dude “sacrificed” himself, tracer(the sporty girl) didn’t know the robot was behind her. So she saved herself without knowing she killed the robot dude when she reversed time. It’s because the purple girl is brainwashed to be a deadly assassin, so she probably predicted that tracer was gonna do that
Yeah it was overthinking on our part because of the slow motion and that’s just how we are haha. Seems like Widowmaker had the perfect shot. Either way she was going to kill someone with that bullet 🤯
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Yea... I think that moment encapsulate the meaning of the character in the game too, where if you hit a headshot it will be a secured kill in the 80% of the times, so... The point of "if you are good enough, you will have at least one kill", like here where she "will win happens whatever happens"... It's definitely the meaning of the character and it had to be a great motivation to the people who played her when the trailer came out 😅 A hard one too, that's for sure anyway.. I enjoy your reactions, I hope you keep liking all of the trailers (the next ones are the best in my opinion 😅😆). Like 🙂
I think Widow made the shot doubly sure that Tracer would dodge the bullet, but also if she didn't the bullet might go through her or at the very least let her take another shot. But yeah I love that part goes to show how good of an assassin she is but also how tactical she can be. Tracer got outplayed :P
Widowmaker is actually a rather tragic character, her given name is Amelie Lacroix and she was married to Gerard Lacroix who was an Overwatch Agent. Talon kidnapped Amelie and basically brainwashed and reprogrammed her to turn her into a sleeper agent. Which she then killed her own husband Gerard after Overwatch 'saved' her from Talon. After she killed Gerard she returned to talon and got further training and conditioning and alteration becoming the elite sniper assassin that she is now. Its really interesting since there seems to elements of her that realize she's at odds with what she does at times. Like she still seems to care about Gerard despite him being dead. As one of her ingame quotes when a character mentions her husband. Her response is "You don't know ANYTHING about him!"(Also she apparently as shown by one Overwatch Comic leaves flowers at his grave.) Which makes you wonder if there is the possibility she might ever be free of Talon's Brainwashing or if she is theirs forevermore.
Okay so there was a reason we liked her. She seems pretty fascinating and everything we are hearing from people that are giving us info on her backstory just continues to make her more fascinating 😃
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames And btw, she is blue because one of the things they did to her in the conditioning was slow her heart rate, so... her skin is blue for the low oxygen level in her blood.. 😅 (And I supose ironically it's no so far away from the story that someone told her about that "the heart of the spiders never beat".. 😅)
Tracer cam only control "time" for herself. If you watch her origin you'll know why. It keeps her from disappearing and appearing again. And she acted like "wow, I survived" because she didn't know if she reversed in time. Everyone has that reaction not knowing if they survived or not from certain death, you know.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Tracer was an Ace Pilot in Overwatch, and was the test pilot of a new aircraft called the slipstream, it malfunctioned causing her to fade in and out of her time, Winston made the chrono accelerator that she wears on her chest as a way to anchor her to the present and allowing her to speed up time for her self in blinks or rewind time for herself, there's a short where it gets destroyed causing her to fade in and out again.
I remember seeing this trailer for the first time and rolling my eyes thinking "Of course the good guy is going to win" and then seeing it play out put the biggest smile on my face. Been in love with Widowmaker's character ever since.
Tracer had no choice but to recall herself (rewind) which Widowmaker took advantage of (she knew Tracer would do this) and purposely shot through her device that allows her to rewind herself (to the last point she was at before falling). This was really smart on her end.
The robot was not controling it, and she can't control time, just her place in it, she can reverse her own movements but time doesn't reverse with her. And i feel it was her controlling her teleport at the end, it was more a 'holy shit did i dodge that' reflex.
Tracer can only control her own time. Widowmaker, being a former Overwatch agent that was brainwashed by Talon, knew she would blink out the way, so she lined it up to where she could hit her initial target, Mondatta
Ok So the Sporty Girl is Lena Oxton AKA Tracer. She was a pilot but when she was doing the trial run of a new state-of-art Stealth Jet something went wrong and she vanished. Turns out she was bouncing around space-time, think the Quantum Realm sort-of, without any control over it until Winston came up with the Chronal Accelerator, the device on her chest, which keeps her anchored in the here-and-now, with some ability to manipulate her own place in the timeline. So no full time-travell power or anything. The Main Character here is Widowmaker, the top Assassin for the terrorist group Talon, which Reaper the smoky guy you say in Recall is one of the Leaders of. She was Originally a normal woman named Amelie, who had the misfortune to be married to a top Overwatch Agent named Gerard. Talon kidnapped her and turned her into a sleeper agents, which they had kill her husband, before doing other operations on her, hence why she's all blue.
Im so glad you guys are doing this in order :D You guys def need to react to the Origin shorts to for the characters, the animated/drawn ones! They're super short so you guys could probably knock them out quickly. They are super good and it gives nice insight on the characters before the final cinematic short :)
We definitely plan to watch the origin shorts. Had planned to do it after watching all the animated shorts but you’re saying we should fit them in before the last one? 🤔
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames I personally would, because a few of them are for characters that will appear in the final cinematic (so it gives you more knowledge of them), but it's up to you guys!
Hello you two. I found your channel last week. I really enjoy your reactions to the Overwatch short movies. The way that those artists capture our emotion is something very special indeed. In the past I have considered myself a bit of a geek for enjoying these Overwatch short movies so much but the way you two react is the same as for me. Thanks for redemption.
The assassin is known as Widowmaker for a reason :) The organization she works for is known as Talon (the antithesis of Overwatch, sort of like COBRA from GI Joe :P), and they have several bad guys on their payroll such as Reaper, Sigma, and Moira. Others in the comments have accurately described her :) The Omnic speaker was Tekhartha Mondatta, a pacifist who led a group of his fellow robots to the Himalayas and created a monastery there. He built an order of robot monks and worked to create peace between humans and omnics after the terrible Omnic Crisis (a war that happened several years prior). His brother, Tekhartha Zenyatta, is a playable character who isn't officially a member of Overwatch but he works with them as their goals align with his of bringing peace between humans and omnics. Now you know why Talon might have an interest in killing Mondatta :P Tracer is also in the official cinematic trailer (which I believe is next in the timeline) and was the victim of an accident involving an experimental teleporting fighter plane that she was piloting. The jet disappeared with her in it, and then months later she reappeared, but was changed (she ended up kind of like Ghost from Ant-Man) where she had been desynchronized from the flow of time. It wasn't until Winston built her a chronal accelerator (the glowy thing on her chest) that she was able to stabilize and remain physically rooted in our timeframe. It also gives her the ability to control her own personal time, allowing her to flash forward quickly, giving her the appearance of teleporting, and also allowing her to completely rewind her own time a few moments to avoid an unfortunate outcome (like she did on the roof after she triggered the venom mine, she rewound and avoided it on the next run through). Tracer didn't know that Mondatta was behind her when she blinked away to avoid the shot, Widowmaker is just THAT good that she lined up the shot so that she'd get either one or the other. When she reappeared she was checking herself to see if she actually got away from that shot. Tracer can only control her own time, not anyone else's. The thing to remember is that all of the heroes in the game are not either a part of Overwatch or of Talon. Some are in it for themselves like Roadhog and Junkrat, some are affiliated with other groups, like Ashe and her Deadlock Rebels gang, and others who work for private corporations, like Pharah who is affiliated with Helix Security, and Symmetra who works for the Vishkar Corporation.
Very nice reaction as always! I do not personally play Overwatch, or know it's lore so I can only make casual observations based on what I saw and thought when I first saw the trailer myself. From what little I do know and have seen, it seems like the hero's ability is not manipulating the fabric of time (controlling the whole world's time flow) but only her own body's time. When she "teleports", it seems like she is just moving really fast due to her being able to control the time of her own body. Speeding it up or slowing down, things like that.
Happy that there are origin stories so we have more to watch when the cinematics are over. Which will be a sad day actually because we love watching them and knowing there are more to watch 🥲
Tracer has ability to randomly jump throgh time, she can't control it and her life without this device on her chest is a nightmare. And this trinket make her control this ability. So it was her choise to make timeshift to save this device and don't be lost in endless time travel again.
So this superhero is Lena Oxton aka Tracer (she was the one who answered Winston's call in the last video) and the villain is Amélie Lacroix aka Widowmaker
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Probably not, because Widowmaker has potential and has certain qualities wherein she might turn to the good side after all she was married to an Overwatch agent and was just brainwashed by Talon.
What's great about this cinematic is that when she rewinds herself, you can see that time itself didn't rewind or even stop or slow. She displaces herself into her old spacetime. Only by like 10 seconds but it has uses. Interesting she also heals any damage she took in that time, but retains her memory of it all. Real quantum physics power.
the next video you make will be your 200 that's crazy also overwatch reacts are always my favorites once you finish the trailers i would recommend the origin trailers they explain alot
The machine is controllable by tracer herself to a degree. Its limited to herself and for extremely short durations. The reason why is the machine is primarily to stabilize herself as she will slip through time uncontrollably without it.
A lot of people already brought lore explanations so I'm just going to say, lovely reaction!! As always! I'm quite anxious to see you guys react to Dragons and to Honor and Glory, they're really good ones, Dragons is my favorite. You guys quickly became my favorite reaction chanel and to see that others think the same it's really nice
Thanks for the kind words, Lucas! We appreciate it. And we are doing these in chronological order so Dragons and Honor and Glory will be back to back once we get to them 😃 Maybe not same or anything but at least in the order they occur chronologically 😁
Tracer (teleport girl) uses the device on her chest to "maintain her Chrono position" which translates to "only thing keeping her rooted in this time and place. If the device is removed she is like a ghost bouncing around time itself. So she needs it to live. However since it manipulatites her being rooted to the time line she "turns it off" and blips through time which appears like teleporting. This also is why when she manipulates time only she is affected. She is turning her own timeline on and off.
Do more overwatch!! There’s a few more, do Reunion, then Honor and Glory, then Dragons, then zero hour. Reunion is eh but the others are so good! So excited to see your guy’s reactions!
Tracer can only control herself trough time. She can reverse and accelerate her own time but cannot affect the actual timeline. After she gets hit with the smoke and widow points her gun at her, she reverses her time. When she re-appears the smoke is still in the air and widow had her gun pointed to the ground.
I literally check your channel every day to see if you have a new OW reaction. I love your other content as well! Widowmaker has a very interesting backstory that isn't covered in the cinematic shorts. She was closely tied to Overwatch, the wife of one of the "good guys" but she was kidnapped and brainwashed and became a ruthless killer and killed her husband. Her blue skin is because her conditioning including altering her breathing so she breathes less to improve her ability as a sniper. Tracer's origin story video explains her powers a bit better.
That’s a cool little bit about her being blue because she controls her breath 😃🥳 Doing some vids on these characters origins will be fun after we get through these Cinematics 🥳😃
Late to the party, but if you are unsure of what Widowmaker said to Tracer when she is grabbed by the collar she said: "Adieu Cherie" which is a way of saying Goodbye Sweetheart, Darling or Dear. This is ironic since Tracer always uses the word 'Love' as a term of endearment.
Yay I hoped you guys enjoyed this great reaction!! 💕💕 Oh and also that device that the British girl has only applies to her and I think it activated on sensors I don’t know for sure but winston made it for her
To make a long story short, Tracer's control on time only works on herself, power wise, she's basically The Flash from DC but with guns, about the air scene, my take is that she reacted on reflex that's why she seemed surprised and finally the robot guy the sniper killed is scenically Gandhi bot, who wanted a world without discrimination between people and sentient robots
Thanks for giving us more info on robot. And you are right, we didn’t keep in mind that this is all happening in real time and not slow motion so the thought of did I just miss that bullet she shot at me was probably what was going on in her head. Sometimes we overthink things 😂🙃🤗
All answers will came out in future videos. The purple girl is 'Widowmaker' and iron girl is 'Tracer' there history is huge, and i do not wanna spoiler anything, so yeah ... cannot wait for rest of it ;)
She can only affect herself and she didn't realize she was set up right in line of a snipe she was just trying to get away and her selfishness resulted in the assassination succeeding.
We’ve done some you can check out here ru-vid.com/group/PLzMaVaJ7UYI3luBfZUeTOgDakb2b6CumN but we plan to do a long series and a real deep dive into WoW
Tracer can only control time for herself, personally, with the ability to 'blink' forward or 'rewind' backwards due to the chronal accelerator built by Winston, which is the device on her chest
Ooo. This is one of my favorite ones. You guys should watch the Black Widow vs Widowmaker Death Battle and the Tracer vs Scout Death Battle. Even if you don’t do a reaction to them.
I am so excited to see your reaction on Dragons Because its my favourite, And if you both wanna learn more about the characters, the most of 'em got a origin story, and all origins thogether is 21 minutes so if you got enough time watch them too they are as much Awsome as the animated shorts😉
Tracers ability is speed moving fast and what have you but another ability is to project her self back in a specific spot within a certain amount of time, like she can go back where she was ten seconds ago without altering time it self I think at least that was my interpretation of her abilities.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames people like dragons and honor and glory because they have arguably the most liked characters / cool characters on the game. Zero hour ties everyone together but overall they are all great :)
British chick (T.racer) she has some problems with time-space continuum she is doing randomly time jumpings and teleportations but that machine in her chest keeping her stable and control that ability of her. French chcik (Widow Maker) her husband was OW agent and enemies of OW(Talon) kidnapped her and used some intense neural programming. Broke her will, supressed personality and made her sleeper agent. When OW agents found her she killed her husband and returned to Talon then Talon slowed her heartbeat this made her turn blue and cant feel human emotions. She is perfect assasian now
I didn’t know overwatched made overwatch alive Im not a trailer persons I don’t keep track of game trailers but overall I like the oberwatch trailers and they have some of the most coolest characters ever and great reaction nailed it
Hmm, maybe not weekly. We could maybe up the frequency but at least two of the videos are going to be combined, or I should say 4 of the videos will be combined into 2 videos. 🤔
just to clarify what tracers (the one with time powers) powers actually are. she can move herself through time but not anything else so she can jump forward in time (teleport) and move backwards in time. also i think she was more of surprised that she was still alive not that she teleported.
I think the original overwatch reveal trailer should have been before this animated short. Its a pretty good trailer and explains why Tracer asked Widowmaker if she was trying to crash another party.
This is the source video we used for our chronological order so we kind of have to stick with it now ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Qx0M-cXXUyU.html 🙃
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames I see, the trailer is on the list as well so I may have gotten the order mixed up. I always thought Tracer's statement/question was a reference to that trailer, I might have been wrong (since she's an assassin, she probably has "crashed" many "parties").
she can change time only for her but not for the others... and she was surprice after coming back because the bulet was soo close to hit her... and everyting happen soo fast! she reverse time by reflex..
So the secy one her name is widowmaker And the good girl is called tracer and her back story is kinda crazy so She was a pilot for the new gen jets bit when she start flying she disappeared so they found her and contained her then Winston created her iron man thing and that controlled her powers but widowmaker smash it so I belive she disabled for a little
2:38 it's even more interesting because you didn't see the Cinematic Trailer or whatever with Reaper+Widow vs. Winston+Tracer 3:49 Mondatta got down the stairs so fast and then the rest of the single-evacuation was 5:07 they were so close. if their attention hadn't been drawn by the explosion he could've at least sat down, maybe not making it tho because of how fast that fall was happening 6:50 I...you've never seen...it's _2021_ where have you been, both in person and on the internet omg
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames AMELIE _NO_ Lol it's like those "After I heard about it I suddenly seemed to notice it everywhere" situations, but _worse_ because venomous spider I still can't wrap my head around not seeing one even on the internet, even by mistake, like _whatt_
We’ve been using this vid as a reference ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Qx0M-cXXUyU.html to watch them chronologically and according to that one it’s Rise and Shine though Dragons and Honor and Glory have been hyped! 😃
You need very fast reaction time to fight a tracer and good aim to counter widowmaker. That device on tracer's chest is something that keeps her anchored to the present while being to control her own time.
Definitely Not Definitive yes! Haha tracers story is pretty interesting, It counteracts the effects of the chronal disassociation she suffered, keeping her anchored in the present.
her power don t make other go back in time only herself, it s more like she can go back where she was a little bit before instantly. but it doesn t affect anyone but her. for exemple in game she can put a grenade at your feet and desappear in front of you and reappear where she was 20 seconde before regaining the physical condition she was at this moment, for exemple if someone shoot her during this 20 seconds it will make the injury and the bullet diseappear.
her power was not reverse time, just reverse or forward her position(looks like super speed, but just fast dashes. Note how fast she went up the stairs, and dashed off the roof to avoid explosion). I think you will enjoy honor and glory very much.
