Minigun, twin-rocket rocket launchers, a grenade launcher, 6 swords, the swords being 2 katana, 2 claymore, a hand-and-half sword and a slightly longer wakizashi, around 5 sniper rifles, and an entire suit of body armor designed like a Star Wars Mandalorian armor(Boba and Jango Fett wore Mandalorian armor) that has sheaths, straps, and TONS of connection points, that has been custom-modified to have pistons and heavy-duty shock absorbers to handle all the weight behind it. Only I hide all that stuff under my bed, with tons of Lego: Bionicle figures all over them. I don't do Pinatas...

3:50 Looking at this part from a literature story telling point. Its important that in this part it shows that Soldier 76 is clouded in his ruthless vigilante. He beats up a enemy even tho he pleads him to stop. The truck comes in and guy throws a explosive which was intended for 76 but ends up bouncing over to Alejandra. 76 makes a split second decision he hesitates as he looks back at the girl and the enemy that's about to run away. Then he chooses to save Alejandra remembering that he was a hero and that he saved lives before. Its why he said "old habits die hard" because it was overwatch's leader it was a habit to save lives and protect the innocent to minimize damage.
BUT ITS NOT ALIVE. If a robot can be life, what is the definition of life at all? Growth/movement (check), metabolism (I guess needing electricity counts), reproduction (Im pretty sure those robots are mass produced like those of today). So they are not alive and thus there is no need to be sad
Crazy to think about but jack morrison was in a way molded by gabriel Reyes into becoming soldier 76z The same corruption and vigilante like activity mirrors how Reyes used to operate black watch and how Morrison was forced to stand up for him.
Just a little detail, but I love how the Los Muertos guys are using AK-47's when they're over 130 years old by the time of Overwatch. Mikhail Kalashnikov really knew how to make a good weapon.
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it, I swear when aliens arrive thousands of years from now when civilisation has collapsed and humanity has become extinct, the first thing they’ll find is an AK-47
PAXperMortem I can't stop thinking about the MLG version of this, I'm sitting here watching it, and I'm expecting some sort of things to happen, like the mlg video 😂
+Mohannad Al-Shareef Where he sits in one corner and a team of 6 idiots continue to run headlong into his line of sights, never flanking or changing heroes? Yeah that'll be great
+Rapid Paddles I'll be honest, I flanked a Bastion, snuck up RIGHT behind him as D. Va, unloaded my cannons POINT BLANK, and he just turned around destroyed me, then healed
What I really, really like about this animation is that although Soldier 76's face is almost entirely covered, the very subtle movements of his eyebrows still hint at his expression. It's most obvious when he's standing on the rooftop at the end, but you can also really see the difference between when he starts chasing after the thugs before they throw the grenade, and the last shot of him right before the grenade blows up.
yeah and when he starts to walk away right before its cuts away from his face his eyebrows show a hint of sadness and guilt as if he remembers and mourns the old times when he truly believed he was almost like he doesn't want to believe he is or that he cant
God this cinematic is such a classic, I wish they played around more with soldier being this hardened, violent force of blind justice against his nature as a kind, protective person
In his defense, they threw the grenade, and the girl was in it's blast radius. If you're the good guy watching out for the townsfolk, what would you do?
+mastrj™ It's deer in the headlights. People freak out enough (like when they're about to die) and they often freeze up. Sure, you can say it's so easy to jump out of the way, but when it happens to you and you're not prepared moving ain't so easy.
HeliosVenomMage64 Has anyone thought for a second that maybe, *just* maybe, that Sombra made that story up? She certainly doesn't look like she has been through the Omnic Crisis, particularly age-wise. Compare her ageing to Soldier:76 AKA Dad. Sombra doesn't even have a wrinkle, and 76 is riddled with them. And he was drugged up and everything.
Soldier 76 is a true hero. The world wanted him dead after all his hard work to save and protect them, hoped he WAS when he was thought to have died in the destruction of Overwatch HQ, but he still does his job, still protects humanity when they turned against him. THAT is the trait of a true hero.
Froggyman145 I think deep down he is still, but this is not for humanity anymore. I think soldier is more evil than reaper. Soldier is all about personal revenge and justice. His own justice. You can see how merciless he is with these gangsters. He is inhumanly ruthless when he fights them, and he almost let a little girl die just to get after them. Ok, he saved her but hesitated until the very last moment, as he said old habits die hard. Whereas reaper may commit crimes worse than soldier's, but he does it for a greater good (in his point of view) and is willing to sacrifice everything he has for it. Soldier did not sacrifice anything, he just had all he had taken from him and is seeking vengeance. If you compare soldier's behaviour in this cinematic to reaper's in the sombra cinematic you'll get what I'm talking about. Reaper lets a weaponless enemy run, and is only concerned about the success of the mission. Soldier gets an unarmed, crawling and begging opponent and beats his head to the ground.
I thought about maybe it starts as the two of them meeting and then it flashes back to the last few moments before the overwatch HQ explosion and then goes back to present time. The overwatch logo comes up as the sounds of hellfire shotgun and pulse rifle plays in the background
I love how the short starts with this Pixar style animations and cliche lines for kids Then cuts to soldier bashing a man's skull into the ground "THESE ARE NOT YOUR STREETS ANYMORE!"
Tsundere imo. "B-B-BAKA! It's not... it's not like I was watching you get home safe, I just happened to be here that's all! The carnitas around the corner from here are my favourite."
Honestly out of all the animated shorts out there from the YEARS this game has been out; This one is still my personal favorite. A Soldier trying to make his way into the world once Overwatch was separated & yet he was once called a hero but, not anymore. He is just a simple man helping out the innocent
I can feel the amount of anger and pain of the loss from that pause when the girl asks if he's a hero. You can feel the damage and his fall from glory. And background music adds even more feels... This short is the reason I dont use any Soldier 76 skins
I don’t use the origins skin, I don’t use any skins that change the visor. I use his classic and his golden skin as I had been wanting to get a skin for him. He is and will always be my main, his character reminds me of my father, someone who doesn’t like to admit he was once a hero. My dad doesn’t even like admitting he was in the military, i have major respect for him and that’s why I resonate with 76 so much.
Girl's mom: "What took you so long to get those flowers?" Girl: "Oh, nothing, some thugs just tried to force me to beat up a robot, took my money, pulled out a machine gun from a box of pinatas and then they got beaten up by 76" Mom: "You've been watching too many Overwatch animations"
@@joby5025 The girl isnt sombra As in the overwatch lore,overwatch was disbanded 9 years earlier And soldier 76 would be a young man Sombra is not this girl As how would that make sense?
i feel sorry for the Overwatch Player base, one moment you had greatness in your hands, every cinematic trailer was an epic unto their own. and then, Overwatch 2 happened, the suits took all of that away, breaking promises they knew they couldn't keep, with your trailers now being nothing more than advertisements for collabs. you guys are still the Heroes we want you to be
+Anthony Clay (Steel Accord) They could be setting something up for the long run, tracer says that the world needs more heroes to the boy. Possibly setting those kids up to be heroes later on.
My favorite thing in this is when she asks why he saved her, he gets angry. You can see the expression "WTF do you mean why? You're a little girl and there was a bomb what the F's wrong with people?" But he knows she's little, and doesn't live in a world where that's all that obvious, so he let's it go with a jest.
It’s stuff like this that makes me upset we didn’t get the campaign. All these characters and settings are so interesting, and we never get to see any closure or further development of these amazing stories.
For crying out loud, IT'S NOT SOMBRA. That girl is clearly just a random plot device. Sombra was born during the Omnic Crisis and 20 years later, she became Sombra and joined Talon. Seriously, even if that girl was Sombra, I don't see any indication of being tech-savvy. So case in point, THAT GIRL IS NOT SOMBRA!!!!!
+SirC0wd0g many micro-animations means more wide-spread character development. Doing a full movie means picking one or a few protagonists, devising a plot, and investing all the resources that could otherwise make most of the heroes a short for themselves. I'd definitely like a movie as well, but the shorts are a good step first off. Heck, Warcraft is coming out later, so I imagine in time if it retains its success there may be an Overwatch coming out eventually if Warcraft does good.
+PCachu The potential for a multimedia franchise is obviously. But then again, people were demanding Blizzard movies for a decade, and now that's we're getting Warcraft many wish they hadn't.
Blizzards short films especially these, Show alot of emotion that gets to you. That is why I agree, if they were to make an Overwatch film it would be at least par with Disney or Pixar.
Came back to realize how his silhouette makes it look like he's wearing his cape from his time as the commander of Overwatch before he disappears. Despite being a vigilante , there's atleast one person who still sees that Hero from before.
those punks were on the payload when no one else was.

Ps: can we just acknowledge that he is a beast!
thanks for pointing that out, never noticed that detail, wow.
That feeling when you're getting your head bashed in by a Diablo pinata.
That's my fetish.

There needs to be a short for 76 and reaper
alfaisthebest or maybe when Reaper meets McCree
alfaisthebest A film about every hero lol, they could do so much with this
I thought about maybe it starts as the two of them meeting and then it flashes back to the last few moments before the overwatch HQ explosion and then goes back to present time. The overwatch logo comes up as the sounds of hellfire shotgun and pulse rifle plays in the background
alfaisthebest IKR !!!!
me and my friend do a soldier reaper team xD
wait so like a 12 year old girl can climb over a wall in like two seconds, but most heroes cant in the game? lol
CarbonatedMeme game logic rip
CONSPIRACY 😂
Sombra she can climb in the trailer but not in the game, lol
Most heroes in the game aren't 12 year old girls. Countered.
Beavidya your profile picture is a dead meme
The way he says "not anymore" is deep.
The robot tho
"Why was I made to feel pain"
Right? Like someone gonna check on robobro
Faulty design to give a robot pain receptors
@@sonikkumoovin8021 and just _what_ is _faulty_ about that? In fact, what is so _wrong_ with that 🤨?
@@erikolson4148 Well if it is mechanical it can easily be hacked and overloaded. Plus what about soldier omnics?
@@gorgeousfreeman1318 fictional or not, these Omnics can feel as well as think. Omnics may or may not have some form of protection against hacking.
I love how the short starts with this Pixar style animations and cliche lines for kids
Then cuts to soldier bashing a man's skull into the ground
"THESE ARE NOT YOUR STREETS ANYMORE!"
Oh, Blizzard. Always knowing to charm the young ones
yeah
When soldier 76 is saving a deli

For Halloween, I saw a girl and her grandad go as Alejandra and Soldier 76. Coolest thing ever.

Honestly out of all the animated shorts out there from the YEARS this game has been out; This one is still my personal favorite. A Soldier trying to make his way into the world once Overwatch was separated & yet he was once called a hero but, not anymore. He is just a simple man helping out the innocent
He really shielded her with his body. He's a true hero
Not anymore
@@andresherrera2902 yeah because his voice actor dies
@@mrpotatobaconcarljr1564 he's 51 years old, he still got another 2-3 decades in him
@@jockeyfield1954 nothing is promised
self sacrifice
I can feel the amount of anger and pain of the loss from that pause when the girl asks if he's a hero. You can feel the damage and his fall from glory. And background music adds even more feels... This short is the reason I dont use any Soldier 76 skins
Semih Now I feel bad for getting three legendarys in a loot box
(Not to flex)
I don’t use the origins skin, I don’t use any skins that change the visor. I use his classic and his golden skin as I had been wanting to get a skin for him. He is and will always be my main, his character reminds me of my father, someone who doesn’t like to admit he was once a hero. My dad doesn’t even like admitting he was in the military, i have major respect for him and that’s why I resonate with 76 so much.
I mainly stick with the russet type of Solder: 76. It reminds me of him taking that grenade.
Gabriela your father sounds like a good person
Girl's mom: "What took you so long to get those flowers?"
Girl: "Oh, nothing, some thugs just tried to force me to beat up a robot, took my money, pulled out a machine gun from a box of pinatas and then they got beaten up by 76"
Mom: "You've been watching too many Overwatch animations"
@Djdjbhemgibberishdnkcvjnebejxnr 8857 It's flour? I thought she was buying flowers O.o
Look around 5:50 and you can see her at the door with a giant bag of flour and the poster she just took down off the wall
Oh
You know the girl is somber
@@joby5025 The girl isnt sombra
As in the overwatch lore,overwatch was disbanded 9 years earlier
And soldier 76 would be a young man
Sombra is not this girl
As how would that make sense?
i feel sorry for the Overwatch Player base, one moment you had greatness in your hands, every cinematic trailer was an epic unto their own.
and then, Overwatch 2 happened, the suits took all of that away, breaking promises they knew they couldn't keep, with your trailers now being nothing more than advertisements for collabs.
you guys are still the Heroes we want you to be
I like how children are playing a large part in the marketing of this game. They're the ones most in need of heroes.
WERE ALL HEROS NOW
+ThunderLimes "We truly are the Overwatch."
+Anthony Clay (Steel Accord) The world could always use more heroes
+Anthony Clay (Steel Accord) the children are the heroes! :)
+Anthony Clay (Steel Accord) They could be setting something up for the long run, tracer says that the world needs more heroes to the boy. Possibly setting those kids up to be heroes later on.
My favorite thing in this is when she asks why he saved her, he gets angry. You can see the expression "WTF do you mean why? You're a little girl and there was a bomb what the F's wrong with people?" But he knows she's little, and doesn't live in a world where that's all that obvious, so he let's it go with a jest.
He's always angry he has an angry face through the whole clip and he also looks like that in game and he always sounds angry when he talks
He's a angry old man who brutally hunts criminals. He's not exactly great when it comes to first impressions
3:57 when you've just eliminated 5 of their team, but junkrat comes and nicks the payload
lol ikr
Gabe Newell XD
+Gabe Newell all hail the mighty creator!
Hey... Come watch my channel for some cool Overwatch videos!
tbh I almost find hos voice more cringy, like wowee, chill shadow the edgelord
It’s stuff like this that makes me upset we didn’t get the campaign. All these characters and settings are so interesting, and we never get to see any closure or further development of these amazing stories.
Played the beta. I got absolutely demolished every match but will prob buy it just cuz these shorts are so amazing

Dude post gameplay commentaries!
+sWooZie yeah give it another chance, once you understand the characters a little more it gets awesome

and now in 2 days itll be 7 years old , hope it can make a comeback from all the controversies its been in recently
what controversies?
For crying out loud, IT'S NOT SOMBRA. That girl is clearly just a random plot device. Sombra was born during the Omnic Crisis and 20 years later, she became Sombra and joined Talon. Seriously, even if that girl was Sombra, I don't see any indication of being tech-savvy. So case in point, THAT GIRL IS NOT SOMBRA!!!!!
To add, Sombra has a beauty mark/mole on her left cheek, Alejandra has none.
Michael Mateo Exactly!! Plus Sombra is an orphan. The girl is not.
Jason Corde Look at Sombra's new legendary skin then the part in this video where 76 shocks the people
I know it isn't her
And some people just play the game. because it's fun.
They probably should just go ahead and make a full length movie about Overwatch, or a TV series.
It's more like their background stories.
+Sheriff Valdr They should make a web-series (Think Roosterteeth's RWBY), so they can keep them at 6 minutes but keep cranking out the cash.
There is an overwatch movie it is playing in theaters tonight.
+Ben Mcgriff what movie
+SirC0wd0g many micro-animations means more wide-spread character development. Doing a full movie means picking one or a few protagonists, devising a plot, and investing all the resources that could otherwise make most of the heroes a short for themselves. I'd definitely like a movie as well, but the shorts are a good step first off. Heck, Warcraft is coming out later, so I imagine in time if it retains its success there may be an Overwatch coming out eventually if Warcraft does good.
McCree: It's high noon.
Soldier: 76 *Throws grenade*
Soldier: 76: Not on my watch.

This is the worst comment in the comment section. You can tell some degenerate ethnic wrote it.
you are one of the best games ever made, aren't you?
not anymore.
:/
Said it before, will keep saying it:
Overwatch,
Cinematic,
Universe.
This needs to be a thing.
I just wished overwatch had a story mode or something, the cutscenes would be so amazing! Or a movie, either is fine
+Yang senpai For real tho
+PCachu yes please.
We'll probably get a story mode/PVE mode later on in a future update sorta like how tf2 got Mann vs machine
+PCachu The potential for a multimedia franchise is obviously.
But then again, people were demanding Blizzard movies for a decade, and now that's we're getting Warcraft many wish they hadn't.
Blizzard does Pixar better than Pixar does
this is true,
You're goddam right!
How so? Overwatch has more in common with Big Hero Six than anything Pixar has done.
I would be at that front door of the cinema on premiere. I would die to see an Overwatch movie if shorts are this good.
Blizzards short films especially these, Show alot of emotion that gets to you. That is why I agree, if they were to make an Overwatch film it would be at least par with Disney or Pixar.
Can Blizzard please make “not anymore” one of Soldier’s voice lines
Dantheepic best for shutdowns
But soldier is from tf2
Blizzard didn't make tf2 silly
Angela Ziegler really? Because they sure make it look like they made an original game that wasn’t stolen from some other game
Seeing Jack again after 6 years just make’s me remember the good days of gaming and life itself
Who else expected Solider 76 to use his heal after the explosion? lol
Lol
I was thinking USE YOUR HEAALLLL
I expected him to just throw it down and it would show how the healing works
Wasted chance I'm my opinion
me!
"C'me here and get stabilized." "Biotic field deployed." 😂
What I expected:
"You're one of those heroes, aren't you!?"
"I'm just a soldier..."
To much like metal gear. :p
Naw I thought he was gonna say "I used to be...".
I expected him to say : IM A MAN ON A MISSION
alex brochet I used to be a heroe just like you.. until i took a hanzo arrow to the knee..
Clark Wayne me too
Who's that Pokemon?!?!
it's RoboCop!!!!!!!
it's 76 silly
I thought it was keemstar
Charizard
More like Nomad from Crysis
its Clefairy!
5:08 they do a similar musical motif that they do in The Batman and it just gives me chills every time.
if this was a tv show I would over wach it
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Too bad it's only a game
I think they gonna make a movie somehow after they make some profits from the game, some thing like prequels about the original overwatch
you need to stop
Ba dum tisss.
It would have been better if Bastion came in killed everyone including 76 and the girl and got play of the game
kewl

Even with his face covered the animation conveys so much emotional expression its amazing
I haven't seen someone express grief over himself in the way soldier does here. Great animation
Do you like ow2?
After 76 walks away Reinhardt pins the girl with his charge and get play of the game
lmao
and then gets minigunned by bastion
I laughed way more then I should have at this lmao
Then Bastion gets killed by Torbjörn's turret while he jacks off in the corner
What about Jerma and his play of he game with Bastion xD
the Soldier has really good positioning and uses high ground when ulting. Pretty good soldier 76.
Lord Knight much better than the guy who places a biotic field in spawn and spams I need healing
Uhm ... no ? He was down on the ground, the gangsters had the high ground.
Came back to realize how his silhouette makes it look like he's wearing his cape from his time as the commander of Overwatch before he disappears. Despite being a vigilante , there's atleast one person who still sees that Hero from before.
