Which rad cinematic from Gamescom was your favorite?

Wow. I was expecting a patch 7.3 trailer and an Overwatch short from Gamescom. I was not expecting a World of Warcraft in-game cinematic, an adorable Junkrat/Roadhog teaser, a Heroes of the Storm cartoon, and a full freaking Hearthstone cinematic on top of those. Seriously, you guys, it was overwhelming — in the best kind of way — seeing so many Blizzard cinematics in such a short period of time.

Now that they’re all out in the wilds, it’s time to ask the obvious question: Which one was your favorite? For me, there’s something to appreciate about all of them. I’m a sucker for anything that manages to pull at my heart strings, so the Overwatch short is immediately at the top of my list. But then again, the sheer surprise factor of Hearthstone’s short — Hearthstone cinematics are now a thing, people! — also helps bump that one up.

Oh, but then there’s the whole “Heroes cartoon” thing that I wasn’t expecting either (at least not before some Twitter teasers). So I guess that one gets moved up the chain, too. And, of course, the hilariousness of the Junkertown short is rivaled by the seriousness — and occasional smugness — of the WoW cinematic.

What I’m saying is, they all have something unique to love about them. It really is hard to pick a favorite. If I absolutely had to pick one, I think… it would be a toss-up. The Overwatch cine-Mei-tic was just great all around, but I love the Kel’Thuzad teaser just because Blizzard doesn’t do a lot of cartoons and, well, Kel’Thuzad.

But again, they’re all pretty dang sweet. Do you all have a favorite? And what makes it your favorite? Or can you simply not choose between all of them?
