Sorry, we gave that roll to a small, unrelatable, trash compactor robot. Maybe another day Bastion.

You mean Bastion and JonTron

Is it him that's triggered or you?

Yes, my team is full of peckers ;)

robots cant have ptsd its in his programing. Gunshots= high alert

You forget that Bastion is an omnic which are robots so advanced they claim to have souls and real emotions hence the Widowmaker short showing people with omnic partners in relationships.

Monica can effing die.

What is omnics?

@@ProbablyHanzo420 The Robots in Overwatch, Zenyatta and Ramattra for example

@@timmy2210 ironically bastion is not an omnic.

Not trying to invalidate your point but bastion isn't an omnic.

When you wave in sentry form he uses the repair hand as it's a reuse of assets from ow1

Now bastion himself isn't in the game anymore

@@theyunvme now he's back and no longer waves with the repair hand

@@HelluvaGabbs0920 yes he does. I just checked

I miss OW1 bastion 😭😭

I think they wanted to do a movie, but decided to make a game instead so they can have a reason to make all of these animations

Overwatch sprung from the remnants of a spiritual successor to World of Warcraft, actually.

I would pay that much too, as long as they don't do what Warcraft did

It’s why I love Walle-E!

For reals. It’s so sad

You sure remember E-102 Gamma

Yes I noticed that too! Love that detail.

yea i noticed that immediately

You have discovered cinematography

its a pretty up front detail :)

Also it stands in a way so that its hand is on the left side, and its gun is on the right. I see it as a symbolism, the hand is its sentient, "human" side, and the gun is its "follow orders" side.

lmfao!!

lol

he was camping, and waiting, but the enemy team sucked so bad they couldn't even move the payload to the checkpoints.

@@thatdudefromthehood2960 Creative? Absolutely better in my opinion. But animation wise? No

That One Guy Yes. THEY LITERALLY MADE A ROBOT THAT CAN EXPERIENCE PTSD!! I think it went like: Programmer: Let's make a robot... Builder: Okay, sure! Programmer: ... Make it experience PTSD. Builder: Why...? Programmer: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

it's not PTSD he's having that robot's memories

Actually, it is. The woodpecker's repeated pecking which echoed in the woods triggered it, making him believe he was taking part in a firefight. After he's recovered, he's then horrified by his actions.

The Lich poor bastion.

its actually kinda sad in a way :/ they make him seem very gentle then show that even a machine can have ptsd.

Bastion is my favorite character, which is why your ranked higher then me.

bastion is too cute ;~; i want bastion mini figure

omg i can just imagine that

No one can really hate that adorable robo... Even if he's really dangerous in-game. =w=

nope. still hate him

lol

i think its more to make people hate bastion mains less

You know, the more that i think about it, the more i realize that in any Overwatch match, Bastion is probably the most miserable since he's likely stuck in a PTSD-induced nightmare hallucination for the duration of the match.

They have no reason to nerf Bastion though since he has the most counters and is almost never picked in competitive.

Good thing the matches aren't canon.

If you know which hero counters him he is easy to kill

AND THEN BLIZZARD DELETED HIM D:

@@sunsetdreamss He's back now and rampaging the rank ;)

@@sunsetdreamss Bastion is back and dominating.

Robotic programming vs sapient consciousness

that Ghibli landscape ... always works ... Thanks to Hayao Miyazaki

The typical dilemma of a DPS player, objective or frolic

That's Bastion for ya. He's considered as overpowered, but I wouldn't know myself. I never played OverWatch, but I really want to.

William Crist erm... he was overpowered in the first year of overwatch, maybe, when no one knew how to fight him. Now? Honestly I think he’s the worst character in the game. He can dish out damage, yes, but with any coordination or like one ultimate your team should be able to dislodge a bastion.

Nick von Imhof not when the enemy team has a Reinhardt, Orisa, and Mercy protecting him. Makes it impossible to do anything about it

Tyler Wheeler Tyler Wheeler there are a variety of things you can do. First off, dive comp works well. Simultaneously jumping on bastion with Winston, D.Va, and two flankers should be enough to dislodge him, especially with defense matrix available to eat up his return fire as you assassinate him. If you don’t want to do dive, you can also fight fire with fire and run a bastion and some shield tanks of your own, then just shred enemy shields and bastion faster than they can break yours. Junkrat helps with this because of his insane shield break, and mercy damage boost will help your bastion destroy shields faster too. Also Baptiste’s lamp is amazing because if you place it behind cover, your bastion gets 5 seconds of literal immortality during which he can melt the enemy bastion with no consequences. If you can’t kill the bunker comp with coordination alone, ultimates work. Dragonstrike and self destruct forces bastion to move or die, during which your team can rush him and kill him when he’s vulnerable while relocating. (Lucio speedboost is also useful here if you aren’t using dive heroes.) Sym’s wall can completely block his sight lines on you guys, EMP literally nullifies bastion AND all the shields protecting him, riptire can destroy they entire comp provided your junk is good enough to sneak it behind them, sound barrier or trans gives your team the tankiness to ignore his damage and outright kill him... the list goes on. The main reason bastion is annoying is not because he’s OP, but because countering him takes a lot more coordination than playing bunker with him. That’s why you see him in lower ranks but in higher ranks where people are able to work together more fluidly, he isn’t very good. Sorry for the essay lmao

@@zoroken2946 definitely not impossible. you just need coordination.

The movie will end in 2 minutes, the ending is him killing everyone

yes

Bastion, the Bipolar Princess.

I hope so

The credits is just "Play of the game"

Well there were also the books

@@bouncybubble the books came out like... 5 months before this short, which is pretty close

Was hoping someone would be here thinking the same thing 😂

Alexisgay I mean, I’ve been both when playing Bastion

This is the origin story so he joined overwatch and probably has no choice

That cuz he hears the woodpecker

This is why they should've just made OW a series/movie.

Carl pixar... really?

Kyrin Van Jura The art style of these animations looks to me as if pixar could make something great with them seeing as it's very similar.

Pixar can make some really good looking animations my dude

blizzard has proven already that they don't need Pixar to create incredible animations

Pixar makes animated movies focused mainly at children. I would also love an overwatch movie but Pixar wouldnt make a movie about animated guns. if blizzard gets enough money to make their own movie just like WoW movie

so true haha never noticed that!

+Pickle Johnson probably cause pixar is the most famous/one of highest quality animators (note i said ONE of highest quality, i didnt say they are the best, so dont get your panties in a twist)

+Pickle Johnson Because other 3d movie animators don't hit the feels as hard as Pixar or this short.

more like robot with war ptsd after years of being deactivated going against its programming

I bet that the army or the police would have destroyed it

Why need overwatch then if omnics like bastion can be dealt with easily

@@hashteraksgage3281 even though its 1 omnic

needs to be from blizzard and not from some other directors, yet full animation no real people.

yes i agree

YES PLEASE

please

I'm fortifying this position, my primarch!

Gun is robot

oh god who touched sasha?

*ahem* WHO TOUCHED MY GUN?

Makes sense in-universe too: Regular omnics are established as sentient, so omnium-made battle omnics with nothing but "shoot shoot shoot" in their initial programming would essentially be like newborn babies. Incredibly dangerous newborn babies with machine guns, but all the more reason to promptly administer "Look! A birdy!" therapy

for a second there I misread that as yaoi adults.

Not my style. But, hey, it's Blizzard, and based on their work here I'd say they also could make BANK on that sector as well ;D

Yup. I'd love to see something like that. As seen in the Warcraft movie, the real life actors stick out like sore thumbs in an otherwise beautiful CGI landscape. Just leave em out. Or create equally comic-esque charicatures, with superhero-chins and triangle-shaped torsos :D

HaploidCell I think the problem with the live actors in Warcraft have more to do with the lackluster acting/script.It pretty much shows when Orc character with less screentime /dialogues have more depth to them than real live "acting".

I hope not, when you say YA, it reminds me of those YA films, so, please no. Pixar films are deeper than you think, YA, adults, children, all are included, it's universal.

No

1 bastion couldn't take the entire city

Qarasmatic _ considering that he is a weapon of war he probably could have taken down have the city

Qarasmatic _ the city wouldn’t have been expecting it They would have no forces prepared for it They would’ve been able to call people but the city would’ve taken heavy blows by the time they came

@@dragonboi6744 A bastion does not even have the fire capability of a tank even with his 'ult'. Sure many would die but you kind of underestimate the police force. Keep in mind the police still have access to a decent arsenal and could even spring in an ambush, not to mention the bastion is probably weakened and is rusty so it would be so easy for bullets to pierce its body

Is anubus still even in the overwatch lore?

@@goblin8623 I’m guessing you’ve been living under a rock? I’m not saying overwatch is a bad game. It’s still very fun. But it’s reputation is less than a drug addict

@@eliburke2779 do you mean blizzard or overwatch? Because the only gripes I’ve scene are blizzard making skins insanely expensive, not that gameplay is bad or anything

@@goblin8623 I mean both.

Same here. I think Bastion and The Wild Robot Roz are the spiritual children of The Iron Giant himself.

We can hope

I'm quite fine if they keep making shorts, since they don't have to explain and evolve multiple characters, while still being grounded in different styles. I mean, if you compare each short, they are something entirely different. It just wouldn't work as well if it were 2 hours.

+TheKatanarama I never heard that and knowing blizzard that sounds false overwatch was always meant too b a game was first called project Titan you can look up interviews on UKposts also they never mentioned it being a movie like you said rumor perhaps

aa ya qfl

Warcraft was pretty bad so ...

Guess that's his stress ball

More like the bird stopped him from killing himself at the hands of pissed off humans

I think the bird reminds Bastion of peace

now i imagine bastion crushing random animals to ease his ptsd

+BoonGamingYT Like a dove.

It was a mortar bug You were only supposed to fire 3 shots but people managed to find a bug where they could fire close to 18 They had to remove it so they had time to find the faulty code

Reminds me of the first part of WALL-E last of his kind and only ambient sounds

Ikr

Silent movies are a genre that needs to come back. There's so many ways you can explain a narrative and create emotion without speech.

twighlight

It's like wall-e, but with no dialogue

waayyyyyyyyyyyyyy sadder

I agree it's a lot sadder

I would argue that the Dragons short comes close, at least. Both are amazing, IMO.

Beren Humpherson I know right? I hear people call him a terrible character but he's got the saddest backstory of all. I'm playing Bastion forever.

Its sadness added depth, and that makes it better.

Ikr!

SOOOO TRUEEE THEY CAN BE EASY AN ANIMATION STUDIO

siting and waiting for the overwatch movie. any moment now .....

Animating a movie compared to an animated short is pretty different. Either way, it is great though.

now they'll be the new disney partner :D

it would cost too much

It would be worth it though

After the Warcraft movie? Better not, just let them stick to what they do best.

warcraft movie is a live-action animated = CGI get your facts straight, they'd do wonder if it's animated movie

Yes!!!

Where doe they get the money? Oh, just from these little known games you've probably never heard of, World of Warcraft, Diablo, a few others, nothing major.
