The fact this cinematic portrays so much emotion without 1 word of dialogue is amazing, and Bastion has no emotion in his face but you still know what he's feeling from his body gestures.
Portrayal of PTSD using a robot who was in the war, the bird is called Ganymede for those who don’t know. It sticks by Bastion everywhere from here. The war itself is probably best left to the story to explain, just being fair around spoilers.
I don't mean to sound like a downer but the the robot doesn't have PTSD. He was a machine built for one purpose. He didn't participate in the fight. Something happened en route and he reactivated when this video started. He was there long enough that moss and grass began growing. He knew he needed to go into the city but didn't know for what reason, presumably because of corrupted software. The woodpecker triggered his defenses as Bastion still is a combat machine. When Bastion scanned that omnic's memories he "saw" the fight and his original programming kicked in. Ganymede appearing created a conflict in his programming but in the end he chose not to pursue his original target. Doesn't sound as cute or heartwarming but the story isn't that deep
I love how if you look closely when bastions eyes turn red (or he goes evil boi mode) his movements are more robotic. like he's lost touch with his human side and is just following programming.
Highest props to everyone and all depts who worked on these animations. The visuals, music, story-telling etc. They nailed it all very well. My favourite part is when Bastion goes red in the field, you see the looming shadow creep with it towards that city, and then the shot when it's in the centre of the frame between the forest and the city. The symbolism of having choice, override its orders and desire for revenge, or continue to attack the city and most likely be destroyed.
It’s amazing how they portrayed PTSD with a robot. And showed his inherent goodness fighting and struggling with his programming and ptsd. Then all the symbolism. With the bird, not only representing free will and freedom but also his good side and reminding him to live in the present. And when that bird comes back putting him literally in the middle of the screen in the middle of the forest and the city, torn between 2 options, the conflict in his mind etc. This was just after he thought he killed the bird, killed off his good part so to speak, and afraid to hurt something else in the forest. Before finally showing him walking away from the city and picking the forest, choosing freedom and goodness. The beauty when the bird tells him, “hey it’s alright” with that little twig. What an amazing way to humanize a robot…
kinda late but i've always thought the little twig represents rebuilding or new begginings, even after destroying everything you've build (like Ganymede's nest when Bastion goes PTSD mode). Ganymede basically told bastion that it's okay to start over and let go off trauma (programming)
We will react to all of them and in chronological order. Which we don’t usually do but for this one we found a video that has them all set up that way so it makes it easier
gets me every time. Possible the best cinematic blizard have ever produced. And thats saying something, whatever else is wrong with the company, the quality of the cinematics is top notch.
I missed this reaction, awesome that you saw the beauty of Bastion who apparently frustrated Overwatch players, ha ha. And whether a video is ten years old or came out in the last month, it's very nice to see you both reacting to them and sharing your thoughts. Seeing you both having fun casually watching classic trailers, whether they excited people or eventually disappointed them, is always fun to see. Keep up the great work!
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Bastion was frustrating for many to play against in the early days as his stationary minigun mode was devastating even at long range and there was very little you could do against it. Because of this, Bastion got hit by the nerf hammer HARD! Still strong as a defensive hero, but not quite as oppressive as before.
I honestly wish they would make more movies with this kind of character in it. Moviemakers tend to go for the if you can't see the face you can't relate to them etc, and they want an actors performance facially on show but i find sometimes less is more. I can project what i think the character is going through and i like that. Although too much trying to compensate with noises and head movements is also a bad thing, it can be overdone.
Truly this was an impressive short. Reminds us so much of Wall-E and how the first 30 minutes of that movie was just a robot falling in love without any human characters 😊☺️
Thanks for starting this series! They are all amazing cinematics and I'm sure you both will absolutely love them. Hoping for more soon! Overwatch is indeed a video game and just to let you know that the cinematics aren't exactly related to each other as they are all just short independent mini stories showcasing the different characters in the game. With that said, you can just use the playlist's order to watch them all. Anyway, looking forward to more Blizzard or "Blizzard Entertainment" cinematic reactions in the future such as the World of Warcraft cinematics.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Awesome! Also I realized that you will be using the one video that was put up that has all the cinematics in chronological order - which is a great idea instead of watching them separately. However, that particular video is actually missing one cinematic which is completely unrelated to the rest of the cinematics/story, although definitely being worth the watch. It's titled "Junkertown: The Plan". So can I suggest to add that to your Overwatch watchthrough and can be the last one you watch.
These are indeed cinematic trailers for a video game. Are you guys doing these in order of release, or in chronological order? I have a list of suggestions for this and other game series, if you guys are up for it.
We are going to do them in chronological because that’s the video link we were given by a subscriber. We are down for more suggestions if you have them
Fact: At the end of the movie shown the part "In memory of Yvain Gnabro" who is the Blizzard's animator who died that year when it's released. ( 2016 )
Overwatch is a team-based multiplayer FPS game. Each cinematic focuses on one or more of the Overwatch heroes (playable legendary figures who have their own unique gameplay styles). Dragons and The Last Bastion are my personal favorites :)
I noticed a lot of blinking, and I could almost see the cry-ball in your throat. It looked like you react to this the same way I do. Or maybe I'm just projecting. You guys are gonna love the other cinematic ones too.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames indeed. Even the little details such as Bastion's Gun pointing to the City and his regular hand in on the Forest side. He has a choice to follow his outdated programming telling him to destroy the City (Outdated in the sense there's no War anymore), or return into the forest and be free and not to harm anyone.
PTSD is essentially a maladaptation of the capacity to recognize danger. It's well known in people, but it can occur in animals, too. So, if robots developed the capacity for adaptive learning, it would be just as possible for them to develop PTSD.
Overwatch is a team-based (mutiplayer) fps. These videos are small short stories to introduce the characters you can play. Bastion for one, he still have the little bird in game too.
Guys, jumping right into the overwatch shorts is great. Be sure you watch them in order!!! there's a few call backs in the later episodes that will make a lot more sense if you do!
PTSD sucks. I hope that in the future the governments of the world will invest more in helping retired soldiers (due to age or injury) adjust to civilian life after going through war of any kind. my grandma's dad was a sick birth attendant on one of the destroyers that took part in the evacuation of dunkirk in ww2 and, I dont know what he saw during that nightmare but from what I managed to learn from my grandma, it changed him. he was wasn't the same person when he came home, he was not a violent man at heart, it just broke him.
So the guy referenced at the beginning was in the Overwatch team working on this short, he died in a car accident before the release, so his colleagues wanted to honor his memory.
i love this reaction...please reaction to other Overwatch Trailers like rise and shine honor and glory... any way thank you so much for selecting this game
Rise and Shine so far is our favorite. You can see all our Overwatch vids here czcams.com/play/PLzMaVaJ7UYI1rBTpxBbItMR59tLGrAnhE.html and we have one more coming out later today 🥳🥳
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Ken? Please tap Bethany on the shoulder and ask her what she was saying at that point. Because otherwise, I'll be up all night, staring at the ceiling, wondering what she said and not getting any sleep. >_< (...or maybe I'll get over it or forget all about it. But why take chances? Sleepy Time hangs in the balance here! ^_^ )
Yup. We don’t always react to trailers in order but for this one we will as a subscriber gave us a link to a video that has them all in chronological order
The fact this cinematic portrays so much emotion without 1 word of dialogue is amazing, and Bastion has no emotion in his face but you still know what he's feeling from his body gestures.

Doesn't sound as cute or heartwarming but the story isn't that deep
Very similar to Iron Giant where a robot designed to kill doesn't realize it, forms an attachment to life, and chooses to go against his design
@@tufcat92 "Potrayal" google it if you don't know what it means.
@@tufcat92 Omnics are true AI in the game's story, Bastion is a person.
I'm still in pain not understanding how a movie or show hasn't been made yet 😢
I love how if you look closely when bastions eyes turn red (or he goes evil boi mode) his movements are more robotic. like he's lost touch with his human side and is just following programming.

Yes we are going to in chronological order 🤓
YESSS react to all the Overwatch animated short films! they’re all good and they’re all connected to each other. It’s in chronological order though!
We will react to all of them and in chronological order. Which we don’t usually do but for this one we found a video that has them all set up that way so it makes it easier
Overwatch cinematics are very magical, you're gonna like them. Only Blizzard can tell an emotional story with no human faces or speech whatsoever
Excited to continue our journey this month into the next trailer 🙂
They arent the only ones
Never have I watched this one and held in my tears. Definitely my favourite
🥲
Bastion's reaction to the worm getting eaten always make me laugh
So many good moments in this one 🙂
Overwatch trailers are (by blizzard standards) awesome in general.
As much as I love the chemistry between different characters in the content you watch, the chemistry between the two of you is why I keep coming back.
Awww. That’s really sweet of you to say 🥰😊🤗🥳
gets me every time. Possible the best cinematic blizard have ever produced. And thats saying something, whatever else is wrong with the company, the quality of the cinematics is top notch.
They should just get out of gaming and make tv shows on these characters and world of Warcraft 🤩

Honor and glory is a good one for watching

Yeah they are different and a nice change of pace for us so we are looking forward to it 🙂

I don't play Overwatch, but their trailers are great. Really recommend more of Overwatch.
Great. We are looking forward to checking more out 🙂

Yeah we are looking forward to seeing the rest 😎
Not played Overwatch myself but i have heard they make cool trailers ;D Great reaction!
Thanks! Glad you liked it. 🙂
As a Bastion main i love this animation
Even as non Bastion mains we thought it was really well done 😊🥰🤗
So glad you guys decided to react to OW trailers!
Us too! 😊🥳🥳
I haven't had a robot tug at my heartstrings since WALL-E!
Yup 🥲
Wow , I always love all your reactions
no negative energy claimed
I find it wild that Blizzard managed to give a robot PTSD
Great storytelling here 🥲

Oooh this was a good one. Good choice lol
You say he ran away with the nest... I call it a mobile home lol.
😂
A war machine with PTSD and an emotional support animal
😊
Well that was emotionally intense, tbh im not a big fan of overwatch and man it It sure caught me unprepared, great recommendations DND community ^ ^
Love that others are finding new trailers or games that resonate with them that they may not have checked out on their own. 😃
Guys, jumping right into the overwatch shorts is great. Be sure you watch them in order!!! there's a few call backs in the later episodes that will make a lot more sense if you do!

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames i saw it :) cheers!
the bird who saved the city from a complete genocide by bastion

We will! 😃 We’ve done 10 so far which you can see in this playlist czcams.com/play/PLzMaVaJ7UYI1rBTpxBbItMR59tLGrAnhE.html 🥳
RIP Overwatch 1 😭♥️
I love the small detail that you see the bird on bastion in game.
☺️
Am I the only one who Kinda wanted to see bastion go to the city? Like to see what would happen.
Don’t think you are alone in that 🙃
Look some up youll find some canon comics
I love the Bastion short Film but its very very sad..
Ton of emotion in it without any dialogue 😮
God I cry every time!!!
