Btw, in case anyone was curious, when Mei first got out of the pod, she said "Why is it so cold in here?" in Mandarin because she thought that people came and gave them supplies to keep them warm.
I'm glad you guys enjoyed this one. Despite the lack of action, I think the emotion and Mei's refusal to give up make it very special among Overwatch's animated shorts. It's probably my favorite one.
Damn, i actually had so much respec for jane when snowball gave his energy. She took like 5 seconds to go from crying over the sacrifice to like "better hurry and get this done" thats some solid thinking from ya girl lol
Perhaps I look too deeply into these things, but I tend to look at all the feeling and emotion put into the characters in these sorts of things. Imagine, waking from a sleep, to find 9 years had passed, all of your friends had died, and your organization had disbanded, turned on by the very people you were trying to help, left to die, forgotten in some icy tomb. The sheer strength of will and courage she displays in saying "yes, I will still answer that call" is what catches me right in the feels.
As always I love your reaction videos Jane & JV :) --- I find that moment when Snowball looses power to be emotionally striking and sad. I feel that how/if you empathize with Mei in this is very telling about what kind of person you are.
Here's a harrowing idea. Mei's friends died because she left the scanners on which drained the power for their life support. Mei lived cause of nepotism on snowballs part
Well we already knew Mei's backstory to an extent, we knew she was an Overwatch member who was a sole survivor in cryostasis, the area is also a Map in the game for 3v3 matches, it's in Antarctica, the Winston clip is also one of the first animated clips for Overwatch, a minor teaser that is also in the start of the game. This like The Last Bastion acted more as a heartfelt origin story with a bit more details. That being said, I'd be intrigued in a Junkrat origin story, since the details of his origin are very much unknown, we got a fun SFM-style animation of him and Roadhog to promote Junkertown's map, which is pretty fun too, but still, something with this detail and quality would be interesting
They were losing power because she left the thing on and then the cryo chambers were being shut down killing them, she only woke up because of winstons broadcast on the emergency channel
The batteries were getting drained one by one. Mei's pod was going to be the last one that was to go if not for the emergency call. I bet the data collecting and computers were the last thing to be preserved before all power was drained.
the fact that she left the sensors running probably ate up a lot of the power which caused the other pods to die. Mei killed her friends from lack of energy conservation.
To be fair, they were probably planning on a month or two of sleep maybe, not sure how long storms typically last in Antarctica, but it shouldn't be anywhere near 9 years.
Razgriz Yea. They were just planning to sleep to wait out the storm. And if anything happened, as said in the movie. Overwatch would’ve came and rescue them. But with HQ bombing and a majority of the members getting arrested and tried with lawsuits. Overwatch went down hard.
It does actually - men and women react differently in most cases. Concerning Mei herself, you can see that she's highly emotional through out the entire animation. To help you understand, try image Soldier: 76, Hanzo, Reinhardt or Lucio in such situation.
This is their personalities, not because of their gender. Soldier 76 would have come up with a plan, successful or not. Reinhardt would probably have wrecked the place, mourn his comrades and try brave the wasteland. Hanzo would have tried to calm himself, but he would have died in the end. Lucio would be an emotional wreck, worst than Mei was.
Passive sensors don't eat that much power and the main computer would have to have been left running to maintain the cryopods. Abandonment by the rest of the world is what killed her team. There was even an article in one of the magazines that talked about Eco Point being lost in a storm but no one ever went to check on them. The cryo was probably set to end when help arrived. It never did. Without Winston's recall message, Mai probably would have died with the rest of the team.
Let’s see. Friends are dead Power is low No one knows your there Comms are down Robot friend kills himself Tower falls apart and explodes Mood: Still going at it.
Great reaction guys! Have you reacted to the 2 main trailers for Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice? You should, they are very intense! The game came out earlier this month.
Ecopoint ANTARCTICA - "Where are they?" I wonder... Also, I love the accent: "Have a whole new dataset to exaMEEN" I mean, c'mon... or, the: "atmosperhic fluctuAYSHUNZ"
Benjamin Auvae The batteries that drained were more than likely for the other chambers meaning they all died out over time, the last battery pack, was more than likely for meis chamber meaning she was close to dying off as well, but Winston's recall signal woke her up before it could happen.
while it is a really good short esthetically; story and portrayal of the character didn't match what she was dealing with. she had just lost her entire team, her friends, and for all intents and purposes her family. not to mention the fact that 9 years had gone by.... ya; no one would smile after all that, let alone be upbeat.
Btw, in case anyone was curious, when Mei first got out of the pod, she said "Why is it so cold in here?" in Mandarin because she thought that people came and gave them supplies to keep them warm.
I loved it! The feels were intense indeed. Not every short needs to consist of action. All it takes is a great story. Great reaction, guys! 😊

blizzard knows they got you hook line and sinker with their IP when you get choked up about snowball (who's a robot) in such a short mini film
This trailer is so sad , but then you meet Mei in game and you wish it was her pod that had malfunctioned >.>
Zigrifid lmao this is so true
Zigrifid What's wrong with Mei?
MastaOfBabies i was only trying to help!
Her lines are cringy, English isn't the voice actors first language. Cut her some slack
I personally think briggette is the most annoying Imo lol
Jane: That was amazing!
Me: A-MEI-ZING?
Lol, well, blizzard managed to squeeze, "Frozen, Wall-E, and mulan" all into 9 minutes, of course people are gonna cry. lol
It was A-Mei-Zing!
Thank you so much ! For making this video I love you guys !

What kinda makes this worse is that Mei is the one who invented the CyroPods and she feels guilty for killing her teammates.
As always I love your reaction videos Jane & JV :)

*you havent react to:*
JUNKERTOWN *THE PLAN*
guys, please
allso hearthstone new cinematic is awsoooom
Ya'll gotta react to DoomFist's Origin Story and Gameplay, and JunkerTown: the Plan and JunkerTown Trailer!!!
Here's a harrowing idea. Mei's friends died because she left the scanners on which drained the power for their life support. Mei lived cause of nepotism on snowballs part

That cute smile she gives right after she freeze you then murders you
They were losing power because she left the thing on and then the cryo chambers were being shut down killing them, she only woke up because of winstons broadcast on the emergency channel
I too cry, when my phone has no charge left. Every. Time.
"a guy with a giant hand" obviously you're talking about deathpalm
I love your overwatch reactions do not stop doing them !!!!😀😀😀
The batteries were getting drained one by one. Mei's pod was going to be the last one that was to go if not for the emergency call. I bet the data collecting and computers were the last thing to be preserved before all power was drained.

The pods malfunctioned when there was still power though uh duh
Razgriz
Yea. They were just planning to sleep to wait out the storm. And if anything happened, as said in the movie. Overwatch would’ve came and rescue them.
But with HQ bombing and a majority of the members getting arrested and tried with lawsuits. Overwatch went down hard.
I'm pretty sure one of those pods had mccree's name on it?
When mei cries because snowball gave his charge, its like she cries because her phones battery died lol
Except that Mei did not want to be left alone, that "phone" was the only friend keeping her company and she had nothing to recharge it in short-term
This was a dire situation - women are more prone to panic and be highly emotional in such conditions.
gender has nothing to do with it.
It does actually - men and women react differently in most cases. Concerning Mei herself, you can see that she's highly emotional through out the entire animation.

Reinhardt would probably have wrecked the place, mourn his comrades and try brave the wasteland.
Hanzo would have tried to calm himself, but he would have died in the end.
Lucio would be an emotional wreck, worst than Mei was.
I swear I've seen you before without her... I don't remember what I saw, but she made this way better due to how emotional she got.
If you think about it, Mei leaving the sensors on probably killed off most of the battery. She killed her friends.
Passive sensors don't eat that much power and the main computer would have to have been left running to maintain the cryopods. Abandonment by the rest of the world is what killed her team. There was even an article in one of the magazines that talked about Eco Point being lost in a storm but no one ever went to check on them. The cryo was probably set to end when help arrived.

About 5:06 it looks like there was a skip, what happened?
She looks for a mode of transport but finds nothing (I'm a year late)
You can make a google docs link or google download link to watch it
finally! back to a gaming-related reaction
Loved the reactions. :)
Let’s see.
Friends are dead
Power is low
No one knows your there
Comms are down
Robot friend kills himself
Tower falls apart and explodes
Mood: Still going at it.
Snowball reminds me of the aliens in Batteries Not Included. ...that's probably a bit before the majority of this audience's time, though.
2:31 what she says?
Can you watch in a Heartbeat short film?
Soul Garcia ❤️💛💚💙💜
Great reaction guys! Have you reacted to the 2 main trailers for Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice? You should, they are very intense! The game came out earlier this month.
Oh, and if you do react to them you need to wear headphones in both ears. The audio is best experienced with both ears plugged in!
Could you also react to Junkertown: The plan, from Overwatch ? c:
But I believe mei can save the world...
Nice Avatar reference.
8:08 Aw, crap.
8:09 Oh, no no NO!
8:15 Oh crap! That's not good.
8:17 Sully, where are you!?
Like if you get the reference.
They should watch the junkrat and roadhog short as well
This was a great reaction to a great short. I wish blizzard released it much earlier. Maybe I wouldn't hate Mei as much as I do.
Furball intervention :D
Why the cut??
Junkertown pls
Weird a few seconds of the film was skipped.
You guys are missing junk rats and divas and doomfists!
Blizzard also released a short for their hearthstone game called "hearth and home" could you react to that plz?
Ecopoint ANTARCTICA - "Where are they?"
I wonder...
Also, I love the accent: "Have a whole new dataset to exaMEEN" I mean, c'mon... or, the: "atmosperhic fluctuAYSHUNZ"
At about 1:15 you had a photobomb under your arm by a furball...
"Kylie Jenner liked this"
Yees I was waiting for that video (: (Can you please react to Junkertown the plan?)
I don't know if I missed it and they showed it but, why was she the only one alive? I don't understand how...btw she is T H I C C af
Benjamin Auvae The batteries that drained were more than likely for the other chambers meaning they all died out over time, the last battery pack, was more than likely for meis chamber meaning she was close to dying off as well, but Winston's recall signal woke her up before it could happen.
Please react to Overwatch-Junkertown next, it's so funny!
React to Overwatch origin story's
Nice try blizzard you can’t make me feel better for saten

while it is a really good short esthetically; story and portrayal of the character didn't match what she was dealing with.
she had just lost her entire team, her friends, and for all intents and purposes her family. not to mention the fact that 9 years had gone by.... ya; no one would smile after all that, let alone be upbeat.
