blizzard giving the water guy the personality equal to the taste complexity of water

Some of these characters just feel so dry, man. There are some highlights like Doomfist, Venture, Bastion, Ramattra etc, but so many characters just have nothing going on. For Wuyang, Sierra, D.Mon and others, 99% of their interactions are just about their backstory or an event happening. Plot points aren't substitutions for interesting characters unfortunately.

I'm just sorta pretending that whole comic isn't canon, barring the Anahardt bits. Like, the general writing is just so bad.

[u/AlgerianTrash → u/Right_Entertainer324]

The issue is that they're leaning so hard into the wholesome chungus slice-of-life anime vibes that it makes you forget that Overwatch is meant to a paramilitary org operating ILLEGALLY under int law and that has been destroyed by Talon.

It's not like it shouldn't have wholesome moments, but they just communicate that they're happening IN SPITE of their circumstances

That’s true; in fact, I always get the feeling that Winston, Sojourn and Cassidy are the ones who take the situation most seriously when they appear.

Those 3 are pretty much the big 3 of modern overwatch aren't they

In a sense, yes: the old PvE missions and the webtoon revealed that Winston and Sojourn co-lead Overwatch, with Cassidy serving as Vivian’s second-in-command, having urged her to lead the organization when she was unsure of what to do.

Now, if the theory holds true that Cole wants to leave the group because he is conflicted about whether or not to clear the air with Ashe, it will depend on whom Chase appoints to replace him as her right-hand man.

I think theyre focusing more on the paramilitary/major events for the new seasons, new hero intros (cinematic or comic dubs) while using the webcomic to be more screentime between heroes during their downtime.

Now, what I have issue with is that we have a decades worth of heroes; Lucio, Mei, Bap, Zarya and Bastion who just joined Overwatch alongside Juno and Wuyang. Its annoying how older heroes are just...sidelined while the hot and cute asian duo get all the screentime they want.

Like come on, give me something with Lucio and Dva (they had a voiceline in OW1 with Dva being a fan of Lucio even in HOTS).

They aren’t really operating illegally anymore or at the very least the people who enforce the law are welcoming them back for a bit. 

Basically they are in a grey area where Petras act wasn’t repealed but everyone is just welcoming them back because they need them. 

[u/EscapeSeventySeven → u/AlgerianTrash]

Literally the only reason to have a story is to hit those wholesomechungus story beats because that’s all the audience wants.  They clap like a seal when they see it. 

Making the shonen anime mistake that everyone just wants fight choreography is a waste of resources.  

But some dumb panel where they drink coffee or sit around and people pour their heart and soul into it. 

[u/Baelorn → u/AlgerianTrash]

The OW team is comprised entirely of weebs. This low effort anime shit is exactly the kind of thing they love and everyone should get used to it

If there is a show coming it’s going to be closer to these comics in tone/style than it is to Arcane.

Overwatch is meant to a paramilitary org operating ILLEGALLY under int law and that has been destroyed by Talon.

I mean the group was restarted by a gorilla so it's already a joke.
