its just that overwatch is an org in the universe
u have for notable orgs, talon, overwatch, null sector, junkers and vishkar
keen summit
but why are they in the same ship like

keen summit
why doesnt reaper just kill monkey
because winston has plot armor
its honestly simple as that
woven yew
keen summit
its simply cuz they dont want that. they also almost never kill people
keen summit
so who else is in talon
from what we know in lore: from the cast
reaper, moira, widow, sombra, sigma, doomfist (leader)- ramattra is allied
in lore characters: maximillian, Mauga (likely next hero), family member of efi (creator of orisa) Sanjay (high ranking vishkar exec)
baptiste is a former member
Talon is under the leadership of doomfist, who has the motivation of "through conflict we get stronger" which tbf has been proven in history that progress often gets faster around wars. so he wants to start a war to catch out the weak and make the strong get stronger
Most of the heroes fight for something they believe is better for the future, which is the central theme of overwatch
further smaller characters in lore: Kace, connected to null sector
iggy: leader of the underground in kingsrow
i forgot the name but archeologist from petra

what ow heroes dont have a cinematic or short story/comic

only Sombra and Doomfist's were animated
all of the heroes since Ana have an origin trailer, plus Soldier, Tracer and the Junkers
peak escarp
most of the heroes don't have cinematics
some of the cinematics have multiple heroes
hushed jetty
im asking bc if someone gets a cinematic tomorrow it should be someone who hasnt appeared in much, or any, lore
so for fhese purposes im counting "appears" as "is the focus of"

this is true but im hoping for some New and Spicy lore
it could also be a cinematic for the new hero

im hoping for the ram/zen cinematic teased back when ram came out

i dont think that video is teasing a cinematic

yeah it could just be concept art or in-game cinematics but i still like to be delusional

ye looks more like concept art
id love a cinematic that takes place in the past instead of post recall
like imagine if it was blackwatch, or golden age overwatch
or talon, pre-baptiste leaving???? sheeesh
spare fox
the heroes that have gone the longest without any updates as to where they are in the lore
Hanzo - last seen in 2016 Reflections comic
Junkrat and Roadhog - though they did get cameos in the JQ cinematic, that took place 10ish years in the past so most up-to-date in the lore-timeline we have is Junkertown The Plan (2017) where they failed to get back into Junkertown after getting kicked out
I guess Wrecking Ball hasn't been given any updates other than traveling the world after becoming champion but... god I hope the cinematic isn't about Wrecking Ball >_>
other than those characters, we know what everyone is doing and where they are post-Recall timeframe up to Invasion timeframe iirc
hushed jetty
ooo a hanzo update wojld be sick
spare fox
I just heard a voiceline for Hanzo during setup on Esperancza where he said assasins tracked him down there but I'm assuming he has that line on a couple maps maybe? Can anyone confirm?
past copper
Betting the cinematic for Mauga being what happened right after he was blown up by Baptiste
spare fox
that's a safe bet I think
past copper
If he survived, you think he needed extensive treatment for his injuries
Guy not invincible
hushed jetty
thatll be in his origin story i imagine yeah
he's beefed af but an explosion is an explosion
past copper
We don’t know. His armor probably took the blunt of the blast, but his face wasn’t protected
spare fox
there's something that's considered a biohazard involved with it and his in-game kit most probably
hushed jetty
im hoping it has something to do with the supercoral mentioned on the samoa map
past copper
Hmm. Well, biohazard material is probably related to his ult. So going by that, Tank with barrier and machine(s), with biotic ult
Sounds balanced
hushed jetty
i guess technically he might not have a barrier since his previous kit was given to sigma
spare fox
it's kind of cool how this time tomorrow we will know
past copper
It depends how much time has gone by for him to change up his style
Personally, he’d probably dump one mini gun to use only one for more mobility
spare fox
right, the short story did mention a shield on him but that could have been scrapped entirely or it might be part of his kit still
hushed jetty
it's kind of cool how this time tomorrow we will know
exactly!!! his origin story and everything
spare fox
other than new hero I'm hoping for a new roadmap for the first half of 2024
past copper
True, but they might change his barrier. Most of them are different after all
spare fox
with or without a barrier/shield wouldn't surprise me honestly. True neutral on it ig
past copper
Plus, depending how hero balances go, a new barrier tank wouldn’t be a bad call
We haven’t had one since Sigma
hushed jetty
ramattra-ish
past copper
I mean, Ram is kinda eh with his barrier. I really think devs might scarp the barrier at some point in the future, but that’s just me
spare fox
I find it so difficult to place Ram's barrier because I keep wanting to treat it like Sigma's mechanically
so I pull it up and oops it's on the other side of the map
past copper
Heck. The fact devs showed off an experimental version with his barrier to punch across the map shows even they aren’t happy with it
Not anymore anyway
Regardless, we’ll see what Mauga has to offer as a hero soon enough

Friends from Talon as far as we know

It’s more complicated than that in all honesty

If there’s friends turned rivals there’s always a romantic element to it these days
Can’t ever just be friends or brothers anymore

yeah but with those type of stories theres always an underlying tension of sorts

Like I said, just because Alyssa wrote them like that doesn’t mean that Blizzard intends on making the implied romantic aspect canon

Doesn’t need to be a sexual or romantic tension
And btw, I don’t hate the romance thing, I just hate that it’s overused

why

Didn’t he request that?

it seemed like they did it to save his life
dense nebula
Made it seem like he was basically dead since the explosion
And that’s what brought him back

Made it seem like he was basically dead since the explosion
We know for sure that’s not possible in lore, but you can save someone who is really close to dying (reaper, genji)

Was the explosion the one Baptiste did?
peak escarp
no
golden oak
So he only joined talon after he was modified
dense nebula
Yeah
That’s where he met Bap and
depending on who you ask
Either became good friends or a thing
Imo they were just friends because random romances are boring and overused
golden oak
Bap in game is like
“I know I blow you up, but hope you’re not mad at me 🥺👉👈”
dense nebula
Mauga is the sort to say I’m not mad while trying to strangle Bap with both his tree trunk hands in the calmest, warmest tone
golden oak
Also idk if anyone mentioned here but something I predicted just got confirmed
We will get heroes and villains role swap (probably as BP theme)

Was the explosion the one Baptiste did?
It could be that that is the reason why bap said he probs survived tho

Where was it confirmed
On blizzcon by Aaron

I’m pretty sure Mauga’s body is as tough as Kevlar

We’re also getting ancient Egyptian BP

he listed some upcoming BP themes, including eldritch horror, egyptian mythology, witches, and mirror universe

I called iy

Ra-mattra mythic
dense nebula
Sobek Mauga
peak escarp
either Pharah or Ramattra need to have the mythic for that season
golden oak
If Ana didn’t have a mythic already she’d probably get
I want it to be ram but probably pharah
dense nebula
either Pharah or Ramattra need to have the mythic for that season
Pharah’s been getting too many legendaries in BPs
keen summit
either Pharah or Ramattra need to have the mythic for that season
Yeah, ramattra could be so good tho, like a sun as his ult look for example
dense nebula
Better be Ramattra

And blizz dont follow logic with em
golden oak
Eldritch horror so lovecraft?
peak escarp
pretty much
dense nebula
Osiris Reaper
golden oak
We already have Cthulhu zen
dense nebula
Yes yes I know
ironic
If anything Reaper would be Set
And Soldier 76 would be Osiris
peak escarp
the obvious choice for mythic for an Egyptian mythology themed BP is Anubis Ramattra
dense nebula
Yeah
Shepard of souls to the afterlife
Shepard of Omnics to a better future
Osiris Ram would work well too
Or Horus Ram
Bes Torb needs to happen tho
golden oak
I didn’t catch that there will be witch themed bp
dense nebula
I didn’t catch that there will be witch themed bp
So any female hero got it
unless they decide to do cool warlock skins too

Witch Moira
golden oak
If mercy didn’t have witch skins already I’d say it would be mythic witch mercy
dense nebula
If we are to get another mythology themed BP
I want a Yoruban one
Shango Doomfist
golden oak
Witch mythic could be any female hero tbh
dense nebula
Ngl, recent OW hero releases haven’t felt like OW heroes besides Ram and Mauga if that makes any sense
golden oak
Characters I could see having witch mythic: Moira, Mercy (this one I kinda doubt tho), Echo, Mei, Sombra, Symm, Ashe
Although both symm and Ashe already have a skin in that theme sort of
Technically also moira if you count wicked
rare trail
doesnt mei have a witchy skin from the dnd season?
golden oak
A lot of heroes already have a skin in that theme
dense nebula
Alchemy is just science magic
golden oak
Ehh
It’s not as close to witch as Ashe warlock or Symm conjurer
Imagine Cthulhu Winston as eldritch horror mythic 
You can turn his jet pack into wings
Give him octopus beard, and done
I could also see wrecking ball being in this bp as some kind of eldritch eye
Like his mech having an eyeball or being an eyeball

Oh is that it? Thanks for ur help. I thought it was something bigger/less obvious lol

Sigma was included because he's a Talon member
I think thats unlikely as a reason, it was specifically during "letting loose with friends" with tons of explosions. Now its very likely that sigma is used in missions too

More of an important asset like sigma

Gotta admir, tanks are always lucky with the hero releases

illari was teased a while before she released
Teased is a strong word, more like what we see now with next two heroes "here is the next hero"

Wtf did Moira do with Mauga

we dont know but when trapping her mauga says "how bout you be the test subject for once?" so maybe she did some evil scientist shit like she always does

Yes an interaction where they ask each other out

Bap calls sombra sweetheart in one 🤔
In the short story he's basically asking if Cass is single

And baptiste and lifeweaver don't know each other in lore
So it's not going to go anywhere
Most likely
Unlike the other romantic relationships like gency

Reaper and Soldier were never romantically involved. They were friends.

So why add another with the only twist being “this time they may or may not be exes”
spare fox
because it's... different

but it is, because it's not the same
how characters react with different characters is what makes a narrative dynamic

I would say that it also definitely depends on how that compares to the ages of the people in question, in terms of… well, 75-85 is relatively speaking a lot less of a gap in terms of, not just age and development, but also life experiences, as opposed to something like 20-30.

paper gazelle
and I thought that was the way it was going, until the change in OW2
Admittedly I hadn't been keeping up with the latest OW lore happenings, though I did know about some of the pharmercy "hints" which I initially thought to be just a measure to please the pharmercy fans and give them false hope as part of "striking the balance" and keeping both the gency and pharmercy fanbases invested in the game. And then I heard about the PvE subway voiceline, but I just passed it off as just sarcastic banter, though I do feel it's a tad off and Genji & Mercy ceasing to write letters to each other is quite concerning
But then today I've read about evidence that Gavin has a bias towards pharmercy and the writing team hired interns who also supported the ship, and some of the skin artists, who are also apparent pharmercy supporters, have prioritised making Pharah skins seemingly linked to the ship to the point where she has gotten new skins during 6 out of 7 seasons, amongst other allegations. And oh, Gavin is also close friends with a hardcore pharmercy stan!
These are where I got the info from: https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch_Memes/s/HB4ccxHKHM
https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch_Memes/s/zZBvtYWJxW
Though I'm not too sure about some of the allegations as I've taken a break from OW until recently. So I would like to verify if Genji's and Mercy's interactions were indeed totally deleted from the game (update: I've just seen plenty of comments talking about the removal of the interactions and now I feel it is indeed legit), and whether Gavin actually blocked gency shippers and blocked those who questioned the changes.
Either way, all these shit and having such devs already make me seriously worried about the state of Overwatch lore and its future.
(And apologies for the lengthy message)
paper gazelle
I find it weird for a doctor to fall in love with her patients
Kinda fallacious considering Genji was long discharged from her care and they became colleagues afterwards. And I don't think Mercy would've fall in love with him while he was still a patient if the said ship is 100% canon
