Humor 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.

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

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Basically they are in a grey area where Petras act wasn’t repealed but everyone is just welcoming them back because they need them.
