they altered her genetics to slow he heart rate

#

to make her a better sniper

past copper
#

Hmm. You know, if they ever did another crossover, I’d kinda wanna see Overwatch x Demon Slayer

#

Anyone else for Tanjiro Genji and Akaza Doomfist

whole pulsar
#

doom is black

past copper
#

And Saitama is white but that didn’t stop them now did it?

whole pulsar
past copper
#

Akaza isn’t green

whole pulsar
#

plus hes bald

whole pulsar
past copper
#

Literally wouldn’t be an issue with half the skins we’ve seen the heroes get

golden oak
#

Doom has hair in talon skin

past copper
#

The hair clearly doesn’t matter on a hero as long as the shadows match

golden oak
#

Haircut/facial hair changes are common

#

In skins

past copper
#

Although, that Moira plague doctor skin does seem different from her shadow

whole pulsar
whole pulsar
golden oak
#

It can be a bit different shadow, but the rough silhouette gotta be the same

past copper
whole pulsar
golden oak
whole pulsar
past copper
#

They’d give Doomfist short pink hair and blue criminal tattoos just like Akaza

whole pulsar
#

if it looks good then it looks good aint complaining 🗣️🙏

past copper
#

Hell, his strongest ability actually matches Doom’s ult

golden oak
#

Btw they modified genji’s hair in genos skin so it fits the silhouette

whole pulsar
golden oak
#

Is that a child tho

whole pulsar
past copper
whole pulsar
#

50/50 tbh

#

they both love punchin 🗣️🙏

golden oak
#

That would be an ugly skin, I’m not sorry

whole pulsar
#

imagine how the ult would look with that skin

golden oak
#

They don’t change ult visuals anymore, unless it’s a mythic

past copper
#

The only thing that makes me believe otherwise is that Doomfist, Soldier, Genji, and Kiriko would not get collab skins again

#

Since they were the ones to have them in the first one

golden oak
#

Wild how wolf Hanzo from ow1 was kinda like a mythic cuz different ult design, voice lines and different variants

past copper
#

Hmm. There could have been Gyutaro Junkrat

golden oak
#

Speaking of

past copper
#

What the actual f**k is that

#

An alternate universe

whole pulsar
#

😹

golden oak
#

Junkrat and symmetra design swap I guess

whole pulsar
#

looks lit tho

golden oak
#

Junkmetra and Symmrat

past copper
#

Hmm. You know if those two met, I’m sure they’d have differing opinions on the other’s skills

#

I kinda think Junk is a little autistic

peak escarp
#

cursed

golden oak
#

Imagine if Junkrat joined Vishkar and invent some explosive hard light

peak escarp
#

he'd never fit in

past copper
#

Well, I’m not sure what goes into a collab with this game. It might be whatever is popular

peak escarp
#

too much chaos

woven jewel
#

One is chaotic the other one is ordered

past copper
#

Don’t remember, but wasn’t the first collab due to OPM S3 coming out

woven jewel
#

In general

golden oak
#

I thought the anime was dead tbh

#

Idk why they chose this one particularly

woven jewel
#

The manga isn't tho

golden oak
#

Other than doom being a punchy guy

woven jewel
#

I mean his line kinda been wanting it for a while

past copper
#

Well, season 3 was announced last year. Don’t know if it actually dropped or not this year

whole pulsar
golden oak
woven jewel
#

I haven't read it but from what I hear the art is REALLY good

golden oak
#

Anime art looked kinda mid

past copper
#

Again tho, I think a collab depends on popularity

#

Personally, anyone who watches The Dragon Prince, that be a cool collab

woven jewel
#

Ooh

peak escarp
#

I want a Horizon collab

past copper
#

You only say that bc of Brig right

peak escarp
#

with Brigitte as Aloy and other heroes with skins inspired by the different cultures

#

Banuk Mei, Carja Genji, Quen Lifeweaver

#

Oseram Reinhardt

past copper
#

Honestly, never played Horizon, but it does look fun

twilit patrol
#

Horizon the map ?

past copper
#

The game

twilit patrol
#

Huh my bad

past copper
#

I would say a Marvel collab, but I kinda think Disney a bigger evil than Blizzard

peak escarp
#

and Bastion in the style of Horizon machines

fresh rock
golden oak
#

Spider-Man widow?

peak escarp
#

it's a great franchise

#

can't wait for the third game

past copper
#

Nah. Widow would be Gwen

#

Hmm. Doomfist or Ram, who’d make a better Hulk lol

worthy rose
#

… Winston

peak escarp
#

I was about to say

golden oak
past copper
#

Bc I see Rein as Thor, Pharah as Iron Man, Soldier as Cap A, Hanzo as Hawkeye

#

Hmm. Tracer as Black Widow?

golden oak
#

Hulk Rein

#

Torb would be Thor

past copper
#

Torb is too short and his hammer isn’t his main weapon tho

golden oak
past copper
#

Wait. Doom would be Thanos

twilit patrol
#

Zarya She Hulk

golden oak
#

Maybe tracer as flash

rare trail
#

flash is dc though right?

pale imp
#

flash is a dc character 💀

twilit patrol
golden oak
#

Oh shit ur right

#

Who’s quick in marvel

pale imp
#

tracer should be quicksilver

twilit patrol
twilit patrol
rare trail
#

quicksilver is more xmen which is marvel but idk its not generally associated with mcu much

past copper

Thanos Doomfist and Ultron Ramattra

rare trail
#

he is in one of the movies ig

golden oak
#

Mystique echo

past copper
#

Guys guys guys. We all are forgetting the best hero Deadpool Genji lol

#

I had to say it

twilit patrol
#

Huh

#

You’re right

past copper
#

Taskmaster Reaper? Too on the nose?

golden oak
#

Dr doom reaper

past copper
#

Red Skull Reaper and Capt. America Soldier

golden oak
#

Dr doom has a hood and mask

#

Fits more imo

#

Also red skull is literally a nazi

past copper
#

They both are rivals and Reaper’s mask is skull shaped. He’s also had skins without hoods and was in the same SSP as Jack

#

And Red Skull focuses more on Hydra not Nazis

golden oak
#

Read up on lore

past copper
#

The lore is that Red Skull and Hydra basically leave behind being Nazis in order to be their own group Hydra

#

Besides that, they would use the movie design of Red Skull, not his comic design

golden oak
#

Doesn’t change the fact he was a nazi 💀

#

Pretty sure blizzard would avoid problematic characters
Especially when they had controversial skins in the past

past copper
#

Yea, well that be the biggest go to, bc Doom hasn’t seen a movie since that terrible remake

#

Seriously, they couldn’t have made a third Fantastic 4 movie?

peak escarp
#

I think we've gone off topic

past copper
#

Right. Regardless tho, a collab is more than likely based on game/show/movie popularity

#

And on WHO will collab with Blizzard

#

Hmm. I think Warner Bros. might try to do a collab with them?

vocal marsh
#

I Read who as World Health Organization

woven jewel
#

fair

timid minnow
#

TIL that Junkerqueen with zeus skin has interaction with ram in Poseidon skin

past copper
#

You know, I don’t condone this collab idea, bc I actually hate the anime myself after Season 2 or 3, but how about Attack on Titan

#

Attack Titan Rammattra, Armor Titan Reinhardt, Female Titan Junker Queen, Beast Titan Winston

#

Eh, dumb idea, but hey. They did say another collab was planned in a later season

#

I think…

peak escarp
#

yes

#

it's on the 2023 Roadmap

ivory garnet
#

its in the season 7 and beyond tab iirc

glacial zinc
past copper
#

Yeah. But again, it may depend on whatever is popular in media and whoever is willing to do a collab with Blizzard

#

There’s a lot of time before season 7 tho, so might depend on whatever drops in the coming months or something

#

I don’t think they would use an anime again. Best guess is a movie crossover

ivory garnet
#

the collab is in the season 7 and beyond tab, doesnt mean it’ll drop in s7

ivory garnet
tepid lion
#

Blizzard has been shown to not to do collabs sadly

peak escarp
#

they've been doing a lot of Jojo references because the devs are all nerds

#

there's a lot of anime references in general

past copper
#

Honestly, I don’t mind JoJo, but I’m not that much of a fan

#

I honestly prefer the Big Three anime

#

Mostly because JoJo really is as the name goes Bizarre

#

Hmm. Although, what would be the odds of a DBZ or DBS collab?

peak escarp
#

I think a Street Fighter collab would be better

past copper
#

Maybe. Although, I had just remembered a popular series. Invincible

#

I can see an Invincible collab

ivory garnet
ivory garnet
#

they’ve done multiple

#

they could do a GI Joe collab

#

Snake Eyes - Genji
Baroness - Widowmaker
Storm Shadow - Hanzo
Cover Girl - Tracer
Chuckles - Cassidy

past copper
#

Okay… I’m a 90s guy, but I only got one of those names

#

But if Genji is Snake Eyes Hanzo is Storm Shadow

ivory garnet
#

yeah true

#

I just think GI Joe could have easy skins

#

chances of the collab are close to 0 tho

#

Mortal Kombat all I want is Kenshi - Genji, and Kung Jin - Hanzo

peak escarp
#

cover art for the upcoming short story collection has been posted

#

which gives us the 8 stories

Junkers in Junkertown
Ana in ?? (Istanbul?)
Hammond in Lijiang Tower
Soldier and Sombra in ?? (Istanbul?)
Ashe and Bob in ??
Hanzo and Kiriko in Tokyo
Symmetra and Lifeweaver in ?? (Atlantic Arcology?)
Orisa in Numbani

Woah! Exciting!

keen summit
#

Actually getting updated on hanzo and orisa!

keen summit
#

So maybe its actually them attacking some facility

ivory garnet
#

From the streets of Numbani to the alleys of Junkertown, the highest floors of Lijiang Tower to the stars themselves,

#

Hammond’s story is at Lijiang or HLC

#

The Junker’s is at Junkertown, but it may adventure out for a mission

And are they working together or something

LLLLLLLORREEEEEEEEE

ivory garnet
#

Mohale Mashigo lends fresh perspective to Ana and Jack’s relationship as they weave through a broken Istanbul to meet with an informant, one who claims to have knowledge of what brought down Overwatch all those years ago.

golden oak
#

Why would she tell them

ivory garnet
#

why would she not

#

she has no bias

#

she isnt loyal

#

and she mightve been the person telling Jack where Reaper was

#

Sojourn has a twin sister allegedly, what do we know about her

worthy rose
#

i think Kevin Hart would be a good part in overwatch lore

woven jewel
#

Her name is Valentine

#

There's stuff in the wiki about her

#

But I have not read up on Soj's lore at all

merry token

#

Although they both survived, Valentine was upset that Sojourn hadn’t tried to save Bonnie even though Sojourn was not aware that she was in danger

fallen juniper
glacial zinc
peak escarp
#

it wasn't that Sojourn wasn't aware that Bonnie was in danger, it was that she chose to save Valentine over Bonnie

#

because in her mind, Valentine was the one she was more certain of saving

#

it's a heartbreaking scene when Valentine confronts her about it

idk they haven’t really went in depth on some of the characters

grim shale

sure

but the lore is still good now

we're still getting short stories, animated shorts, novels, etc.

grim shale

rammatra or whatever his name is was cool

thats about it

vapid tusk

“Or whatever his name was” 😭

do you even play Overwatch?

like cinematics and some books

"whatever his name was"

i got his name right tho

you did

it's just a weird thing to say if you follow the lore

his name is weird

i sometimes confuse it as ramattra

zenith mango
#

why did reaper join talon

peak escarp
#

because the bad people weren't getting justice through lawful means

zenith mango
#

what

#

does that mean

peak escarp
#

Overwatch couldn't touch the bad guys because the corrupt system was protecting them

#

Reyes's hands were tied

#

also Moira brought him there and the world thought he was dead, so he didn't have much choice

ivory garnet
#

also due to the Blackwatch controversy, isnt there a way he could possibly be charged of Manslaughter?

#

never confirmed, just using real world probabilities

peak escarp
#

oh probably

worthy rose
#

no he shot the guy on purpose

ivory garnet
#

yeah but Blackwatch/Overwatch was under government

#

so probably got protected

#

but he could be convicted for manslaughter of Antonio

#

so that couldve also been a favtor

#

factor

worthy rose
#

they werent sanctioned by any government or overwatch themselves

#

if he would have been caught he would be charged with murder of the first degree

zenith mango
#

so reaper jopined talon bc they were the only ppl thst could "uncorrupt" the world?

ivory garnet
#

blackwatch was created to do the dirty work of overwatch. espionage, black ops missions, etc

#

totally illegal stuff

peak escarp
#

whether he believes it or not...

ivory garnet
#

also because they’ll give him the resources for him to eliminate Overwatch agents right?

peak escarp
#

yes

ivory basalt
#

Do u think they gonna ship anybody together in the story

tardy summit
ivory garnet
#

hinted at Genji x Mercy tho

#

they wrote letters to eachother when Overwatch was disbanded

#

and they’re the only 2 playable characters to have white day/valentines day voice lines towards eachother

peak escarp
#

and a tanabata interaction

ivory garnet
#

oh?

I havent heard/seen thag

that*

peak escarp

I dont know if it's still in the game

oh I just heard it

Tanabata is a holiday honoring two lovers, so it's fitting they'd get a line

So, looking forward to episode 2 of Genesis? Can’t wait to see what the Omnic Crisis was like for them

they didnt help him

didnt help him when what happened

no one tried to help him with his mental iirc

oh

and he felt betrayed by Jack

hence why he almost killed him

what parts of genji are left

I think it was said in the loverwatch game but I forgor (or at least what he lost)

But it was like 2 arms and a leg

From first thing I found on google (lol) "I don't think a percentage was ever given, but based off of his Blackwatch skin, he appears to still have his head, torso, thighs and left arm. From looking at the Blackwatch skin, he suffered the loss of his legs and arm."

But Genji x Mercy isn't canon tho or am I missing something? They have voice lines, but we were told Voice lines aren't canon.

ivory garnet
#

voice lines can indicate canon

#

or they can hypothesize

#

as like Ana and Roadhog voice lines

#

those are hypotheticals

#

but some voice lines are flat out canon like when Cass and Soldier talk about hanamura

#

Genji x Mercy isnt confirmed yet yes

Have we ever seen Widow show anything resembling affection at any point?

viscid flame
#

Other than one or two voicelines with Reaper or the Rose on the grave, not much that I recall

ivory garnet
#

She visited her husband’s grave

#

she still loves him

stuck stump
#

Did Talon make Widow kill her husband or did she do it of her own accord?

ivory garnet
#

made her kill him iirc

#

after that she did all her killing on her own accord

#

whoever Talon needed her to kill, she did it willingly

stuck stump
#

That's pretty tragic, I almost feel bad for her

#

Was she a normal person before that?

ivory garnet
#

yes

#

did ballet

#

I’d assume Reaper was also close to her before hand

#

having Reyes and Gerard were close friends

stuck stump
#

Did Reaper and Widow join Talon around the same time?

ivory garnet
#

Widow was an agent before Reaper

#

however, Reaper is on the council, Widowmaker isnt

stuck stump
#

Is Reaper fully evil? I know he had a family and still cares for them, but outside of that does he really care about anything else?

ivory garnet
#

he wants revenge against overwatch

#

take it as you will

ivory garnet
#

Reaper’s end is him facing jail or going MIA (not dying, literally just missing)

#

(in my theory ^^^)

stuck stump
#

Does Widow also hate Overwatch?

ivory garnet
#

no clue

#

she kinda just does what she’s asked

stuck stump
#

I see. So she's essenially a mindless agent of Talon

ivory garnet
#

not mindless

#

she has her own thoughts, conscience, wtc

etc

#

but she is the definition of an Agent

shes not supposed to feel

I don't know much at all about the lore, but from what I've seen, it seems like her emotions are still there, just reressed

#

I wonder if in the future they'll have her regain her emotion somehow, probably far fetched but who knows

her emotions have always been suppressed

not tarnished

she can still feel

May wanna hold off on updating that til we meet the new hero next month

Just so we know where to place em if needed

Hmm. Also, just a thought, would Jack and Ana be considered their own faction or what?

oh yeah i never saw what happened after

so if they did show the meeting with ow and doomfist

what did they talk about

the "meeting" was the fight seen in Doomfist's origin trailer

vapid tusk

oh i see

peak escarp
#

it ended with Doomfist being put in jail for 5 years

did it just start off in a fight right away

or was there any attempt at a peaceful discussion

pretty sure it was just a fight

if genji could get enhanced mobility through cybernetics

oh really?

peak escarp
vapid tusk
#

when did he lose the arm

#

was it through a wrestling match or something

peak escarp
#

Akande Ogundimu was the son of a wealthy Nigerian family who owned a prosthetic-technology company. Well-trained and proficient in a wide spectrum of bone-shattering fighting styles, Ogundimu’s stellar professional fighting career was cut short with the loss of his right arm during the Omnic Crisis. And while his family’s technology could replace his arm, without the challenge and crucible of competition, Ogundimu felt utterly lost. In that time, he searched for something to devote himself to. It was only when the current Doomfist, Akinjide Adeyemi, tapped him to join his ranks that Ogundimu saw his way forward.

@peak escarp who's your favorite character lorewise besides the high noon guy

peak escarp
#

I like Mei, her story is pretty sad but she's still cheerful despite it

vapid tusk
#

i never got around to mei's story yet but i kinda know what happened i guess

#

did every single scientist die beside her?

peak escarp
#

yep

vapid tusk
#

or was there anyone who survived

#

oh alr

#

but it wasn't a storm or anything right?

#

it was the cryo freeze experiment

#

?

peak escarp
#

it was the cryochambers not being made to last 9 years

#

they were only supposed to last for a few months while they waited out the storm

#

but the storm kept going

#

and the rescue attempt failed

vapid tusk
#

who was supposed to take them out

peak escarp
#

and then Overwatch disbanded and they were considered lost

#

Overwatch sent a team to rescue them - you can see the ship on the Antarctic Peninsula map

vapid tusk
#

when was snowball (the little bot guy) created?

peak escarp
#

we don't know

#

he was a drone used by the research team for various things

vapid tusk
#

pretty nice of Mei to not hold grudges or anything

peak escarp
#

grudges?

vapid tusk
#

i mean not that overwatch was wrong or anything
but like being the only survivor mustve been really tough mentally

peak escarp
#

yeah

#

we don't really see how it affected her

vapid tusk
#

honestly i think the only person i've seen cry or been on the verge of tears was tracer after confronting widowmaker

torpid copper
#

@peak escarp explain overwatch lore now

vapid tusk
#

i thought hanzo would be much more emotional about seeing his 'dead' brother alive

vapid tusk
torpid copper
#

Anything

vapid tusk
peak escarp
#

robots go bad, Overwatch stops robots, Overwatch goes bad, Overwatch ends, Talon goes bad, Overwatch comes back

torpid copper
#

That somehow made sense to me

vapid tusk
#

overwatch was already kinda bad tho

torpid copper
#

@vapid tusk nuh uh

peak escarp
#

that's the oversimplified version

vapid tusk
#

they just put on a good face, no?
while blackwatch did the dirty work

peak escarp
#

yes

vapid tusk
#

i wonder how jack frost felt about managing a morally chaotic team

#

yes i said jack frost

#

is pharah in the current overwatch team?

#

or is she in a military group

#

helix or something like that

peak escarp
#

she was part of Helix, but Cassidy recruited her to Overwatch

torpid copper
#

You guys want to play overwatch

#

alr well since im going to bed
thank you for your amazing explanations as always, @peak escarp

golden oak
#

I think most if not all heroes in overwatch got cybernetic limbs only when it was necessary for them to function properly

peak escarp
#

Sojourn got rocket legs because they were cool

#

but she was already a cyborg anyway

golden oak
#

She had autoimmune disease so I’d say that counts

peak escarp
#

she could have just gotten regular legs (and probably did)

#

rocket legs were an upgrade

upbeat basalt
#

how is new junk city gonna fit in with junkertown and the junkers?

#

did they move from JT to NJC?

peak escarp
#

Junkertown is a suburb of New Junk City

upbeat basalt
#

oh is it really?

#

considering the name and stuff i thought it was awhole new place

pearl blaze
#

how do you get into learning lore for overwatch? I've seen all the intro cinematics, but I'm not really interested in pulling up a youtube video explaining all of overwatch lore

peak escarp
#

read the links in the pins on this channel

honest spear
peak escarp
#

I don't think they have a whole province

golden oak
#

But there is queen of junkertown

#

So she only rules this suburb or what

peak escarp
#

she rules the whole city

@peak escarp does it?

woah

#

if echos ult is canon it does make her one of the strongesst

golden oak
#

Is the well on illios well inspired by the movie “300”?

ivory garnet
#

in a sense

#

early concept art shows what it looks like

#

so thats how it would work

ivory garnet
#

maybe, we dont know how she replicates

golden oak
wind wind
#

honestly i do think its something to do with the wings

merry mason
golden oak
#

I think they decided on wing wrap right?

#

It looks the closest to what is in game

#

Or something between that and cocoon

viscid flame
#

Would be fantastic if so

mellow stratus
#

Where was Mercy when Doomfist attacked Singapore ?

#

She was with Overwatch to capture Maximilien and 3 weeks later there were only 3 of them

twilit patrol
#

I don't remember but I think she was in Egypt

limpid spindle
#

I just find it interesting how McCassidy prides himself on using older weaponry but the dev team thought a fuckin stinger missile in his pocket was a good idea

#

no way are you serious

#

there’s no way!!!

peak escarp
#

she still can't replicate things that are unique to a person, like the Shimada's dragons or Symmetra/Lifeweaver's hardlight

#

but she can transform into things limited by their mass

#

so for example, she couldn't become a Titan omnic

viscid flame
#

And while it can be said that the nade simply reflects the modern day aspect of Cassidy's character, I think it could be done much better

Ashe has the Boomstick and TNT and still feels like a present day and Old West character

blissful crystal
#

Does anybody know why Junkrat and Roadhog commit robberies? Is it because Roadhog is sick?

peak escarp
#

the flashbang made sense because he was part of a black-ops team

twilit patrol
ivory garnet
#

his grenades made sense as he’s sort of a neo-frontier cowboy

#

he’ll have upgraded wild west equipment

#

and as Doctor_Six said, flashbang shows his black ops side

spare salmon
#

I mean it's called the "New West" so we can't exactly assume it's gonna be dead to rights on traditional cowboy stuff.

golden oak
peak escarp
#

probably

golden oak
#

They probably won’t change the magnetic nade into anything else (I mean like give him something entirely new)

barren lichen
#

What is Talon's thing again I forgot

#

I know they're evil but why

upbeat basalt
#

i think all of the main leaders have different reasons

#

like the way doom thinks that violence and conflict will strengthen humanity

#

and moira wants to evolve science or something idk

#

im pretty sure hes not but some people like to think he is

peak escarp
#

unknown

#

he hasn't shown any indication one way or another

upbeat basalt
#

doesnt seem to have any problem with them

#

he has interactions with bastion and obviously echo

#

positive ones^^

#

i dont believe its ever been proven that he does but echo seems to be quite flirty with him

peak escarp
#

he's friends with Echo

#

we don't know if he's romantically interested in her

upbeat basalt
#

she says that she likes him but it isnt specified whether it is romantic or platonic

#

id assume romantic tho because of the way she imitates him a lot

#

a terrorist group

#

group/organization

barren lichen
#

Like Anti Overwatch

#

But isn't one of the leaders an omnic?

upbeat basalt
#

theyre not robot racist

upbeat basalt

however u spell his name

they dont hate what the world has become of either, theyre the reason its how it is

#

or at least part of it

like i said earlier theyre all just pretty evil for their own reasons

barren lichen
#

And null sector is also there

upbeat basalt
#

its not like they hate the world specifically and thats why they do what they do

I forgot that Honor & Glory happens before this

karmic moat
#

so anubis started the omnic crisis because humans were destroying the earth or sumn?

#

ok, so aurora is not related to it

glacial zinc
#

They are

#

Lol

glacial zinc
desert timber
#

Honestly this lore seems a little generic

glacial zinc
#

I like seeing reyes kick butt

peak escarp
#

tropes are tropes for a reason

desert timber
#

I'm not sure how much of it was already canon but "humans create consciousness by design and it just sort of works" isn't a super compelling origin. My understanding originally was that omnics found consciousness on their own rather than being lab designed

glacial zinc
#

I wanna see the full court

desert timber
peak escarp
#

we've known about Aurora being the first sapient omnic since Stone By Stone

desert timber
#

"Aurora is the first conscious omnic" is less interesting when she was given consciousness by some lab

peak escarp
#

so your understanding has been flawed since 2020

glacial zinc
#

The omnic professor has such big lips ngl

desert timber
#

The lore has been generic and unoriginal since 2020

peak escarp
#

the scientists didn't intend to give Aurora sentience, it was an unexplained quirk that they could never reproduce

woven jewel
#

I think the spread of the sentience might be the interesting part

glacial zinc
woven jewel
#

Cuz the Anubis' omnics weren't initially sentient, right?

limber veldt
#

I really want a overwatch series

#

animated by studio trigger perhaps

peak escarp
#

omnics did not gain sentience until Aurora's transcendence gave it to them

woven jewel
#

Ye, that's the interesting part

karmic moat
limber veldt
#

Aurora is the jesus of omnics

woven jewel
#

True

limber veldt
#

her death gave them sentience

So in a way she’s like THE martyr of omnics

Wait this is so cool I’m loving the writing so far

the overwatch lore is so cool, its just underdeveloped/underutilised

glacial zinc

To find out if she was

peak escarp
#

did you not watch the episde? they did tests to discover that

woven jewel
#

I thought the tests were to confirm it

fossil notch
#

I watched the episode and didn’t rlly understand how Anubis came to exist to be honest? If anyone knows can they tell me :,))

peak escarp
limber veldt
#

Anubis was left alone

#

and it monitored stuff

karmic moat
glacial zinc
#

?

limber veldt
#

and came to the conclusion "I must kill humanity"

zenith mango
#

did this anime thing even show us anything we didnt al;rteady know

woven jewel
#

that sounds like she had the end goal of sentience but wasn't sure if she actually could but wanted to try

desert timber
#

This is Walmart brand Frankenstein with the plot to Age of Ultron tacked onto it. Just railroads what open ended possibilies we had to Overwatch lore into something we've seen a dozen times before

Mercy wasn't around yet

mercy would have been maybe 9 yrs old during this?

So she’s not one of the OGs? Damn

She joined during the Golden age after the omnic crisis

But isn’t mercy like kinda old but her science keeps her young ? Like mei says that in a voiceline, but maybe it’s just a woman to woman compliment idk “you don’t look a day younger than 9 years ago doctor Ziegler “
