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
doom is black
And Saitama is white but that didn’t stop them now did it?
i just dont see doom being bright green 😭
Akaza isn’t green
plus hes bald
light green****
Literally wouldn’t be an issue with half the skins we’ve seen the heroes get
Doom has hair in talon skin
The hair clearly doesn’t matter on a hero as long as the shadows match
Although, that Moira plague doctor skin does seem different from her shadow
well imagine a bald black akaza, wouldnt rly look like akaza would it
tru tru
It can be a bit different shadow, but the rough silhouette gotta be the same
And Genji doesn’t remove his helmet yet that didn’t stop them making him Genos
cuz hes japanese aswell 🤯😱
I think they would give him hair for the skin
yeye fosho cant imagine doom with red hair 😭
They’d give Doomfist short pink hair and blue criminal tattoos just like Akaza
if it looks good then it looks good aint complaining 🗣️🙏
Hell, his strongest ability actually matches Doom’s ult
Btw they modified genji’s hair in genos skin so it fits the silhouette
had to look twice at your pfp 😭
Look. Just imagine this as a Doomfist collab skin https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/7/70/Akaza_Full_Body_Design_%25_28Anime%25_29.png/revision/latest?cb=20220126234306
Is that a child tho
they definitely have to add the hair
Akaza a full grown man. I’m just not spoiling his character info
That would be an ugly skin, I’m not sorry
imagine how the ult would look with that skin
They don’t change ult visuals anymore, unless it’s a mythic
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
Wild how wolf Hanzo from ow1 was kinda like a mythic cuz different ult design, voice lines and different variants
Probably not soon
Hmm. There could have been Gyutaro Junkrat
Speaking of
😹
Junkrat and symmetra design swap I guess
looks lit tho
Junkmetra and Symmrat
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
cursed
Indeed
Imagine if Junkrat joined Vishkar and invent some explosive hard light
he'd never fit in
Well, I’m not sure what goes into a collab with this game. It might be whatever is popular
too much chaos
One is chaotic the other one is ordered
Don’t remember, but wasn’t the first collab due to OPM S3 coming out
In general
The manga isn't tho
Other than doom being a punchy guy
I mean his line kinda been wanting it for a while
Well, season 3 was announced last year. Don’t know if it actually dropped or not this year
prolly early 2024 id rather have them take their time than rush it
Only dedicated fans read mangas from what I’ve noticed
I haven't read it but from what I hear the art is REALLY good
Anime art looked kinda mid
Again tho, I think a collab depends on popularity
Personally, anyone who watches The Dragon Prince, that be a cool collab
Ooh
I want a Horizon collab
You only say that bc of Brig right
with Brigitte as Aloy and other heroes with skins inspired by the different cultures
Banuk Mei, Carja Genji, Quen Lifeweaver
Oseram Reinhardt
Honestly, never played Horizon, but it does look fun
Horizon the map ?
The game
I would say a Marvel collab, but I kinda think Disney a bigger evil than Blizzard
and Bastion in the style of Horizon machines
I like it. The idea can definitely be implemented well.
Spider-Man widow?
… Winston
I was about to say
Yeah I meant spiderman as comic not character lol
Bc I see Rein as Thor, Pharah as Iron Man, Soldier as Cap A, Hanzo as Hawkeye
Hmm. Tracer as Black Widow?
Torb is too short and his hammer isn’t his main weapon tho
Captain Marvel
Wait. Doom would be Thanos
Zarya She Hulk
Maybe tracer as flash
flash is dc though right?
flash is a dc character 💀
Yeah
tracer should be quicksilver

Quicksilver I think
quicksilver is more xmen which is marvel but idk its not generally associated with mcu much
Thanos Doomfist and Ultron Ramattra
he is in one of the movies ig
Mystique echo
Guys guys guys. We all are forgetting the best hero Deadpool Genji lol
I had to say it
Taskmaster Reaper? Too on the nose?
Dr doom reaper
Red Skull Reaper and Capt. America Soldier
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
Read up on lore
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
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
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?
I think we've gone off topic
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?
I Read who as World Health Organization
fair
TIL that Junkerqueen with zeus skin has interaction with ram in Poseidon skin
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…
its in the season 7 and beyond tab iirc
I could see thanos Doomfist
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
the collab is in the season 7 and beyond tab, doesnt mean it’ll drop in s7
they’ve been doing ALOT of JoJo’s references, odds are high its another anime
Blizzard has been shown to not to do collabs sadly
they've been doing a lot of Jojo references because the devs are all nerds
there's a lot of anime references in general
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?
I think a Street Fighter collab would be better
Maybe. Although, I had just remembered a popular series. Invincible
I can see an Invincible collab
I want a street fighter or MK collab
they just did a collab…
they’ve done multiple
they could do a GI Joe collab
Snake Eyes - Genji
Baroness - Widowmaker
Storm Shadow - Hanzo
Cover Girl - Tracer
Chuckles - Cassidy
Okay… I’m a 90s guy, but I only got one of those names
But if Genji is Snake Eyes Hanzo is Storm Shadow
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
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!
Actually getting updated on hanzo and orisa!
Btw i dont think theyre in junkertown, it seems to have some high tech projectors.
So maybe its actually them attacking some facility
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
I like it 
Ball is doomfists father
It fucking sucks this won’t be out til next year. It looks dope as hell

Weird to see Jack and Sombra just talking
And are they working together or something
LLLLLLLORREEEEEEEEE
Sombra is the informant
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.
Why would she tell them
why would she not
she has no bias
she isnt loyal
and she mightve been the person telling Jack where Reaper was
She doesn't care about talon
has sombra worked alongside overwatch in the past
Looks like Ana, Orisa, Hanzo and Kiriko are all facing Null Sector
Although, looks like Hanzo and Kiriko are also dealing with the Hashimoto too
She helped out baptiste but that was before he was in overwatch
i have a question i’m new to overwatch so i’m confused on something about the lore
Go ahead
so does tracers recall make her time travel?
It does, but just herself. Nothing around her changes
she travel her own timeline, not the full timeline of the whole world
that’s so cool
She turns back her own time
Mcree x Hanzo relationship real?
no
Shame 😔
I’m actually very curious on how that ship got popular lol
Loreheads how you feeling about the new short story book announced
Sombra does what she wants by any means necessary, (working with talon to talk to volskaya being one of these things)
Yo that looks really cool! But I wonder, why is sombra with soldier 76? Kinda weird
Unless she's spying? Idk
she's probably giving him info on Talon/Reaper
Also new lifeweaver lore !!!
Why would she do that? Isn't that being a traitor?
What is it
we dunno yet, the book doesn't release till march next year
Oh I thought you were talking about something else mb
This could be very interesting.
they were the 2 hottest young characters in the early days of ow1
Hog mercy was confirmed by devs right
it was confirmed as an april fools yes
wait so is it or is it not canon? im confused lmao
Sojourn has a twin sister allegedly, what do we know about her
i think Kevin Hart would be a good part in overwatch lore
Her name is Valentine
There's stuff in the wiki about her
But I have not read up on Soj's lore at all

Valentine has a daughter named Bonnie; Valentine and Sojourn had a bit of a falling out as Sojourn had tried to save Valentine during the beginning of the omnic crisis while not noticing that her niece was being drowned
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

Bonnie got robot legs after the drowning incident
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
My bad, I think I got the wrong idea from just reading the summary 😭
Josuke Lifeweaver
Jotaro Soldier
That’s all
I got
Hanzo Keicho
Doomfist Okuyasu
Artificial heart
do you guys think junkrat and roadhog will join overwatch or talon or remain neutral
remain neutral
How much money do u make for being in here genuine question
he's gay
NOOOOOOOOOOO (jk)
wait what about reddit mods?
Weren’t they getting paid under the table to promote certain brands
heart breaking
Damn this is so sad 
Any of the heroes culinary geniuses?
soldier is a grill master
never removing that skin
its sad how far lore has fallen
idk they haven’t really went in depth on some of the characters
2016 to 2018 was the best era
sure
but the lore is still good now
we're still getting short stories, animated shorts, novels, etc.
“Or whatever his name was” 😭
used to
but i still keep up with lore
like cinematics and some books
"whatever his name was"
i got his name right tho
the ones we know of, anyway
Lf1 plat 1-2 supp
!!loreonly @craggy oriole
@craggy oriole This channel is for serious discussion strictly related to the lore of Overwatch. Shitposting will result in a loss of access.
im plat 4 on a winstreak rn tho
why did reaper join talon
because the bad people weren't getting justice through lawful means
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
also due to the Blackwatch controversy, isnt there a way he could possibly be charged of Manslaughter?
never confirmed, just using real world probabilities
oh probably
no he shot the guy on purpose
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
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
so reaper jopined talon bc they were the only ppl thst could "uncorrupt" the world?
pretty sure blackwatch was sanctioned by overwatch. its a branch off of overwatch.
blackwatch was created to do the dirty work of overwatch. espionage, black ops missions, etc
totally illegal stuff
well, that's what Doomfist told him
whether he believes it or not...
also because they’ll give him the resources for him to eliminate Overwatch agents right?
yes
Do u think they gonna ship anybody together in the story
im praying for pharah mercy
probably not straight forward
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
and a tanabata interaction
I dont know if it's still in the game
thats cool
So, looking forward to episode 2 of Genesis? Can’t wait to see what the Omnic Crisis was like for them
Tho, it’s probably mostly gonna be a montage of moments for the team
They’re such good friends ☺️
Friend zoned 🤯
Yes
why would he want to eliminate them
revenge
revenge for what
he believes they betrayed them
how so
didnt help him when what happened
no one tried to help him with his mental iirc
oh
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."
wtf
this is lore discussion not breaking up with your boyfreind
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.
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
And what about the one between Baptiste and Mercy, Where he tries to set her up with a date and she says she already has someone she likes? Not cannon?
How come Zarya knows Sombra’s real name
Gency for life.
By talking to Sombra’s baker’s daughter Alejandra
Oh
Voicelines reflect canon. And since both Mercy & Bap are in Ow now, it’s still hypothetical but could definitely happen in future lore.
cool, thanks
Shes supposed to be laughing here but she just looks like she’s about to throw up
Anyone else sees this?

I do not
It’s literally this 🤢
I kinda see both
I hate her
Mondatta was Ramattra’s mentor right?
yes
I JUS STARTED STROKIN IT

Who has pinged me ?
Have we ever seen Widow show anything resembling affection at any point?
I think not
Other than one or two voicelines with Reaper or the Rose on the grave, not much that I recall
She visited her husband’s grave
she still loves him
Did Talon make Widow kill her husband or did she do it of her own accord?
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
That's pretty tragic, I almost feel bad for her
Was she a normal person before that?
yes
did ballet
I’d assume Reaper was also close to her before hand
having Reyes and Gerard were close friends
Did Reaper and Widow join Talon around the same time?
Widow was an agent before Reaper
however, Reaper is on the council, Widowmaker isnt
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?
Not as much
Reaper’s end is him facing jail or going MIA (not dying, literally just missing)
(in my theory ^^^)
Does Widow also hate Overwatch?
I see. So she's essenially a mindless agent of Talon
not mindless
she has her own thoughts, conscience, wtc
etc
but she is the definition of an Agent
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
where can I find the lore for sojourn?
MIA would be cool
no idea
It’s Cassidy now
I just noticed, we should add Lifeweaver to this thing, and maybe the other founders of null sector.
It would be just Nameless and uhh... The big one
Linked to Ramattra
And then LW linked to Sym and PAA, which is in turn Linked to the Martins, who have a link to Torb
Zera
I'll take a look when I get home
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
Although, kinda hoping she’s like her own faction. Like the Junkers, Deadlock Gang, and Yokai
Hmm. Also, just a thought, would Jack and Ana be considered their own faction or what?
I just realized that there are 3 American characters Ash and Cassidy, soldier 76, and two are cowboy and cowgirl(and white) bruh, wish we could get one American character like Black American 🤷🏿♂️
Lucio is South American, and reaper is Hispanic American I’m pretty sure. There’s also sojourn who’s a black Canadian
i like the part in the lore when the overwatch player goes outside
4
Hi
Reaper is native to America
Iam a genji main

Yea forgot but still would be nice
Americans have the most representation
I can't really to the cowboys or reaper
I like how Doomfist is almost a 1 to 1 copy of Armstrong
both are gazillionares that owns a company, they some of the most over the top tech that makes them hella op, and has weird fetish for might makes right philosophy
There’s enough characters from USA
If that’s what you mean
if by company you mean terrorist organization then sure
who?
Doomfist's net worth is unknown, but it's probably the highest of any hero
yes
Metal Gear Revengeance Villain
considering that he controls talon, he probably has billions
how does that make sense?
Do we know if Talon has any sort of relationship with Null Sector?
just a regular alliance I assume
for world domination or to take down overwatch?
global conflict
is anyone like a coleader of talon
there's a council
Doomfist leads it, but Moira, Reaper, Sanjay and Maximilien are on the council
is max still in after being caught and forced to make an appt with doom
yes
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
oh i see
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
what's stopping Doomfist from achieving the same thing lol
he would probably be unstoppable then
most people wouldn't be willing to cut off their limbs to replace them with cybernetics
what is winston foot size
i mean doom already kinda uses the gauntlet like it's his arm right
he wears the gauntlet over his right arm, which is cybernetic
oh really?
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.
Lore accurate doomfist 😮😮😮😲😲🤯🤯🤯
yeah i remember watching the lore explanation video about how he used to fight alot
he was a teenager when he lost his arm
since he's 45 now and the omnic crisis was 30 years ago
dang pretty old
i keep wanting to think that the entire timeline occured over like 2-3 years
@peak escarp who's your favorite character lorewise besides the high noon guy
I like Mei, her story is pretty sad but she's still cheerful despite it
i never got around to mei's story yet but i kinda know what happened i guess
did every single scientist die beside her?
yep
or was there anyone who survived
oh alr
but it wasn't a storm or anything right?
it was the cryo freeze experiment
?
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
who was supposed to take them out
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
when was snowball (the little bot guy) created?
pretty nice of Mei to not hold grudges or anything
grudges?
i mean not that overwatch was wrong or anything
but like being the only survivor mustve been really tough mentally
honestly i think the only person i've seen cry or been on the verge of tears was tracer after confronting widowmaker
@peak escarp explain overwatch lore now
i thought hanzo would be much more emotional about seeing his 'dead' brother alive
ask specifics my guy
Anything

robots go bad, Overwatch stops robots, Overwatch goes bad, Overwatch ends, Talon goes bad, Overwatch comes back
lmao
That somehow made sense to me
overwatch was already kinda bad tho
@vapid tusk nuh uh
that's the oversimplified version
they just put on a good face, no?
while blackwatch did the dirty work
yes
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
she was part of Helix, but Cassidy recruited her to Overwatch
You guys want to play overwatch
lore only
[insert command here]
alr well since im going to bed
thank you for your amazing explanations as always, @peak escarp
Because he’s an amputee himself and losing his arm was probably really traumatic for him
I think most if not all heroes in overwatch got cybernetic limbs only when it was necessary for them to function properly
She had autoimmune disease so I’d say that counts
she could have just gotten regular legs (and probably did)
rocket legs were an upgrade
how is new junk city gonna fit in with junkertown and the junkers?
did they move from JT to NJC?
Junkertown is a suburb of New Junk City
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
read the links in the pins on this channel
what about province? Do we think it's in New Junk Wales, Junkerqueensland, or Junctoria?
I don't think they have a whole province
she rules the whole city
quickkk question, does sym's sheilds regen when she uses her beam on people? (apologizes if this is the wrong chat to ask)
Should I mark a part as spoiler
Or am I free to post it without spoiler tagging it
I reccomend spoilers
man
|| All this time Ive been thinking Liao liked Cassidy on the side, but I feel this is VERY vague ||

dm me for tweaks for more fps and lwr ping/lag
Damn
Any chance Emily could be a playable hero one day?
probably not
lol do u know everything about the ow lore?
woahwoahwoah
@peak escarp does it?
wheres this from
woah
if echos ult is canon it does make her one of the strongesst
Is the well on illios well inspired by the movie “300”?
maybe, we dont know how she replicates
I like the limb transform concept
honestly i do think its something to do with the wings
No! This is concept art that shows the many ways they wanted it to work before settling on how it is in the game
I think they decided on wing wrap right?
It looks the closest to what is in game
Or something between that and cocoon
Would be fantastic if so
Where was Mercy when Doomfist attacked Singapore ?
She was with Overwatch to capture Maximilien and 3 weeks later there were only 3 of them
I don't remember but I think she was in Egypt
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!!!
to a degree
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
Aye, Cass's grenade ability has always been odd. Flashbang and Mag Nade don't invoke a lot of Western imagery. I guess they just don't really know what to add to him
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
Does anybody know why Junkrat and Roadhog commit robberies? Is it because Roadhog is sick?
the flashbang made sense because he was part of a black-ops team
it's because they like money

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
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.
Nah they just want too
So she could transform into ramattra but not nemesis form?
probably
Yeah Ashe’s kit seems more western than cassidy’s
They probably won’t change the magnetic nade into anything else (I mean like give him something entirely new)
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
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
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
theyre not robot racist
cute
yeah maximllien
ew
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
And null sector is also there
its not like they hate the world specifically and thats why they do what they do
whats the likelyhood zenyatta is revealed to be gay?
not very likely id assume
he doesnt seem to be interested in romantic relationships
but then again idk shit happens
100% he's just a little shy
Floaty robo jesus
What is the lore of overwatch’s GOD DAM LAG
I’d assume it’s more@likely he’d be canon ace/aro
👆
Crazy
your internet
whats the lore of overwatch shutting down
i eated it 😟 😭
LIFEWEAVER IS A GAY MAN 100%
almost, pansexual
reaper needs a widowmaker suit
no
The second animated short drops tomorrow doesnt it? hope it gives more on rein lore
yep, tomorrow at 9am PST
for a second i thought u were talking about the sojourn one and i got excited
😦 but thats until august i believe
Yeah August 4
yes
since when theres overwatch lore?
since the game was released
tf
Every games has a lore
What do you think ?
Exactly
but what are they using this money for?
Maybe gambling? Junkertown is known for arena fights
Got A Decent 5k with Tracer , I wanna know if it’s good or bad, Dm me if you care too share an opinion
Wrong channel buddy
it was to bribe their way back into Junkertown after being exiled
With Anubis unleashed, the Omnic Crisis takes hold. Humanity faces demise as only a select few, codename: Overwatch, have what it takes to fight back.
Stay tuned for GENESIS Part Three: Rebirth, premiering July 20 at 9am PT

putting this here for those who havent watched yet
I forgot that Honor & Glory happens before this
so anubis started the omnic crisis because humans were destroying the earth or sumn?
ok, so aurora is not related to it
Pretty nice
Honestly this lore seems a little generic
I like seeing reyes kick butt
tropes are tropes for a reason
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
I wanna see the full court
doesn't always justify them though, especially since they just took the plot of Age of Ultron for the omnic uprising
we've known about Aurora being the first sapient omnic since Stone By Stone
That doesn't change anything I said
"Aurora is the first conscious omnic" is less interesting when she was given consciousness by some lab
so your understanding has been flawed since 2020
The omnic professor has such big lips ngl
The lore has been generic and unoriginal since 2020
the scientists didn't intend to give Aurora sentience, it was an unexplained quirk that they could never reproduce
I think the spread of the sentience might be the interesting part
Then Omnica corps lost stonks
Cuz the Anubis' omnics weren't initially sentient, right?
correct
omnics did not gain sentience until Aurora's transcendence gave it to them
Ye, that's the interesting part
maybe the next short will be about the awakening
Aurora is the jesus of omnics
True
her death gave them sentience
That's it
pretty much
yeah I agree here
So in a way she’s like THE martyr of omnics
yes
Wait this is so cool I’m loving the writing so far
yeah so they just immediately knew she was sentient the moment she was activated. Great writing
the overwatch lore is so cool, its just underdeveloped/underutilised
They said they did tests
Liao didn't mean to do that?
To find out if she was
did you not watch the episde? they did tests to discover that
They have test for sentience
I thought the tests were to confirm it
I watched the episode and didn’t rlly understand how Anubis came to exist to be honest? If anyone knows can they tell me :,))
she wanted to push what omnics could be
anubis was made by humans to maintain ecological balance
He was a god program designed to help the environment, then he decided to kill humans because they were bad for the environment
?
and came to the conclusion "I must kill humanity"
did this anime thing even show us anything we didnt al;rteady know
that sounds like she had the end goal of sentience but wasn't sure if she actually could but wanted to try
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
Laoi went to court with Aurora
Reyes always likes to throw his shotguns
oh thanks guys now I get it
we already knew that about reyes
I loved the two episodes my only complain is that I wish we could’ve seen mercy in it somehow, just a biased mercy main take

Mercy wasn't around yet
I liked seeing my main in action
mercy would have been maybe 9 yrs old during this?
So she’s not one of the OGs? Damn
Ah
not alive
i thought mercy was in her 50s during ow1
the crisis started 30 years ago and ended 20 years ago and mercy is 37
No she was alive
torb has both his arms and his eyes
I think she was 7 or younger at the start of the 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 “
She was orphaned because of the crisis
Mercy is 37 in OW1
???
very young
shes 37 and the crisis started 30 years ago
I like what the hero of Numbani taught us, normal people have ptsd from the omnic crisis
Wait
yes
10 years the war ?
i thought the crisis lasted ten years
no she wasnt we have photo proof she was a teen when overwatch had been around for a bit
you mean this?
Oh wait, Sigma was alive during the omnic crisis and about their same age
Interesting
Gah damn sigma and Roadhog are surprisingly old
yeah
this photo is 20 years ago from OW1 - years after the omnic crisis ended
Cass was already recruited, that had to have been after omnic crisis
overwatch was around for 23 years after the omnic crisis started so this still matches her being 7 when it started
Mercy is 17 here, a student visiting from university
Why is mercy so bright
Tbh you can just tell mercy’s a teen in that photo coz of the pose but she looks the same as in overwatch one
Idk why but she stands out in that photo
cause shes an angel
botox
Ok but so is Cassidy
All the mercy appreciation is making me weird wtf? Is this the overwatch community ? 🤣
Eh
victim complex 😛
?
what's wrong with liking Mercy?
your a mercy main?
who let you out of the basement?
y'roue
Torbjorn after shooting through his daughters stomach with a molten cannon, melting her insides and possibly killing her
“Don’t tell your mother about this”
That's usually in-game, not in lore
yes
I have a suspicion that it MIGHT not be canon
reinhardt best uncle
Well it happened here too, with a certain user here who keeps teasing with little salty comments haha
What? 😭
agree to disagree
Noooo
my overwatch competitive games are all canon (the ones where I win)
Also does Ingrid kinda just exist
love how reinhardt is brigittes god father because he saved her dads life
Ingrid is like, we know she’s good at making apple pie
Taking care of like 5-8children ( I forgor how many)
That’s it ?
Wait so Doomfist never says “and Dey say”
We need a whole short dedicated to her pie
or Sojourn's sister
And how she makes it
Hanzo never says "Shot through the heart, and I'm to blame" 😔
Bon Jovi?
just get the cookbook
Cookbook?
I'm down, have it as the intro to a tale by Rein or Torb
Maybe even Mercy or Brig
I wish we could have more information about D.va’s whole squad like an actual lore short video because I am pretty sure one of ‘em will be a hero someday, at least I hope
Why? They are all D.va’s
Agreed
NO WAY
Coz they’re coooool
I dont like dva she annoys me
AN OVERWTACH COOKBOOK
its the voice
Wait noo where it go
Yeah it is only her name
YOO
What else is in that?
I give it 3 years before they retcon half the cookbook lore
Now what is Mercy's Air-Foil Ratio
im buying one
The filling looks a bit like Ragù ? 😭
I don’t know any other real canon foods in overwatch
Uhh, Rein's beer
We know that Ana loves Icy summer drinks 🍹
idk
I would make that just to do the intro
But she seems like she’s loving it tho :/
“Sake”
Luci -O’s
Yoo sake
I loved this chapter
there's the index
im curious if robo sexuals exist in overwatch
roboromantics at least, given Mondatta's speech cinematic
The tracer v widow one
Also hanzo loves sushi and kiriko loves Doughnuts and Genji loves sweets as he’d sneak them into the shimada castle for kiriko and himself to enjoy
yee
Kiriko and Genji were basically siblings
Eh
And dva loves chips and nano cola
D.Va-itos
Nano cola
that's canon
Danny Devito?
ye
lol
I want to try the junkrat and roadhog recipes im australian
The Wrecking Ball hamster food recipe lmao
If only Ana had an iced drink
But Ingrid’s apple pie is the best recipe
Canonically the most delicious food in Overwatch lore
because they're actually Ikea meatballs
Peanut butter pudding sounds good ngl
plot twist torbjörn is a time traveler and actually travels back in time to start ikea
go buy the cookbook
this was confirmed canon in 2018
Googled it
lmao ez
Damn that looks good
!!shitposting
Shitposting will result in a loss of access.
Cassidy (possibly) and Dva (from voiceline)
we’ve also seen somewhere on a vacation photo
of a Human wife with a robot husband
Yea D.Va said she thinks Bob is cute (don’t blame her)
mhm
I want to believe that’s canon
Omnics are as much of citizens as humans, so its legal and normal
Yea
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81MCYsw1oeL.jpg
peanut butter pudding recipe
"No, I do not want a banana" voiceline
loves them
his favorite food if he’s alone (also a snack) is Banana and Peanut Butter
the food index is their creative dishes/dishes that are their “signature”
Where is Ana’s ice drink
That’s canon
And she loves it
no clue BrumbleBee, are you speaking about the one in her summer highlight introv
?*
if highlight intros are canon then widowmaker stepping on people is also canon
Yea
I want to believe she makes them to imagine she’s in Hawaii
is there ana hawaii lore?
I believe that highlight intro is her being on vacation on a beach, not her necessarily making them
If not I’ll write it
none canon
😭
she may have went to Hawaii when she was adventuring the world after Overwatch collapse
lol, what’s Reaper’s scythe
Some of the names I don’t get
kaluha, cinnamon whiskey, triple sec and grenadine
