yeah Winston’s dad kinda is like ‘The Man with the Yellow Hat’ just if The Man with the Yellow Hat was brutally murdered by 5Head apes lol

There are origin stories that you can watch that show more about most of the characters and there are also comics as well if you are interested.

28:52 Ok i know this is long but. Widowmaker's backstory is actually so damn sad and tragic. in her former life, Widowmaker was married to Gérard Lacroix, an Overwatch agent spearheading operations against the Talon terrorist organization. After several unsuccessful attempts to eliminate Gérard, Talon decided to change its focus to his wife, Amélie. Talon operatives kidnapped her and subjected her to an intense program of neural reconditioning. They broke her will, suppressed her personality, and reprogrammed her as a sleeper agent. She was eventually found by Overwatch agents, apparently none the worse for wear, and returned to her normal life. Two weeks later she killed Gérard in his sleep. Her mission complete, Amélie returned to Talon, and they completed the process of turning her into a living weapon.

33:45 her time travelling only effects her, she only has control over her own time. Which is why she can “Teleport” it’s her jumping herself forward in time.

Bastion's bird is named Ganymede btw, and he does indeed show up in-game! The type of bird also changes depending on what skin you use in some cases!

Tracer doesnt control time, she controls HER time. its a long story, but basically shes unstable in time, winston made her device to keep her anchored, and shes able to accelerate and rewind her own time at will. but only to a certain point.

18:05 You are the ONLY new player who got the story on point from just 2 animated shorts, THANK YOU!

Overwatch cinematics are so good. Props to the directing and art team

Tracer seems young, because she was 16 while the war and had to be 46, but her backstory says she is now 36

Overwatch was founded for like 30+ years but it only end service 6 years from present day in game which is why there are younger people inside it like Tracer who join in later on near the end of Overwatch

55:10 no… and no. It’s like an old story passed down through their family and/or an allusion. They’re situation just somewhat reflects the story though it is slightly different. Also the sword is Hanzo’s. It’s the sword he used to cut down Genji. Hanzo was once a better swordsman, but swore to never wield one again after he “killed” Genji.

25:40 newer players probably don't know it, but Winstons is from the Horizon Lunar Colony (which used to be a map in OW1), where they were teaching apes and other animals like Hammond (or: Wrecking Ball) and researching their intelligence.

I really like how you engage with media, it's clear you really pick up on the story being told rather than just watching for content and it's a lot more entertaining to see people fall in love with the story and universe like how I did when the game first came out.

14:35 Little bit of background info. Jack Morrison (Soldier 76) and Gabriel Reyes (Reaper) were in an American Military program where they received Super Soldier Serum ], similar to Captain America just not as potent. That is how he was able to move so fast. He just often holds back

overwatch's team is made of phenomenal storytellers, and it shows. combined with the famous 'blizzard polish' in their animation and outstanding voice acting, it's easy to see why their animated shorts really truly do feel like short films as opposed to, as you said, glimpses into the world. that's why the overwatch community is always fiending for new lore lol

Tracer can reverse, and accelerate her own time, not anyone else's so when she's zipping around and rewinding she's basically controlling her time. And she'll be reverted to the state she was reverted to

The machine-like entities that are in the cinematics are what are known as Omnics. Bastion, Zenyatta, Orisa, and now Ramattra are playable Omnics. The war Bastion accessed the memories of his fallen brother units is called the Omnic Crisis, where a both of Omnic, tired of being mistreated, waged war on Humanity. Overwatch was founded to be an international and independent peacekeeping organization.

The overgrown skin for bastion has a nest with eggs in it on the shoulder and the same bird from the cinematic.

I could watch the Last Bastion 500,000 TIMES. I will never tire of it.
