All I can think about is the flashback scene with the three of them standing together for the last time. The music here is nice and beautiful, and somehow sad because of how they will end up 😭😭😭
Yet another Overwatch character in need of therapy! There's been a lot of discussion already about this lore update, and Cassidy's never been a character I've been particularly invested in, so I don't have a whole lot to say about this one that hasn't already been said.
Man, though, the last line? That's brutal. :c Overwatch tends to get kinda cartoonish, and it makes you forget how high the stakes are in-universe.
And of course Pharah is already trying to whip Cassidy into shape, LOL. I love their dynamic and I hope we get to see more of it.
When I tell you me and my friends screamed when talon turned up behind zen.
But it has got me thinking, could we have a cut scene where zen and possibly sym fight off talon? Because we know zen was housing sym and helping her like he helped genji. Zen gonna pull a "who ever said I was a pacifist?" But that's my initial theory!
Ashe: I better not see your face in my neck of the woods.
Ramattra: Are you afraid I’ll free your servant?
Ashe: Lay one finger on Bob and I’ll show you what fear means.
so… that’s definitely a threat from both of them, and i love it. obviously ramattra is clueless to the happenings outside of his own opinions, as @wildissylupus said he doesn’t understand why any omnic would choose to be around humans. ashe and bob have a familial relationship, it’s a strong bond too. he’s the only one who’s stayed consistent throughout her whole life
also, we’ve seen ashe be threatened with the loss of bob before, in deadlock rebels when julian bets him on a bike race. she may be acting agressive through her speech, but we’ve seen the panic it put her through the first time
now, this makes me wonder if this is how they’ll bring ashe into the main story. i saw someone else on tiktok theorize if bob will be taken and ashe will go to cassidy or overwatch to help. my addition to that is it might not just be bob, but the other omnics (like bars) in deadlock rebels. obviously bob is her closest companion, but everyone else in the gang matters too.
if she doesn’t go directly to overwatch, then they might come to her seeing as i imagine the whole gang would fight against null sector if something happened to any member
there’s also the conversation in the current story missions about how the current team, a sort of “you and what army” moment… what about that army? deadlock is presumably pretty large, and they’re also allied with local gangs so i think it would be a good way to bring ashe and the rest of deadlock into the story, because right now they have no connection other than being part of cole’s past
this could also kickstart the beginning of a reconciliation between cassidy & ashe, starting off with “I’m only helping because my friends are in trouble.” and if they’re saved then she’ll decide to stay and help until the entire issue is over with null sector.
Like thank god pharah is a confirmed lesbian but I literally just saw a post on here a few weeks ago that said something like “alright when’s blizzard gonna make another overwatch character gay to distract from the pve scandal?” And it’s like I know it’s pride month but cmon, that’s literally what they’re doing 😭
No cause I’m actually really upset over the PVE thing because can you imagine a cutscene where the overwatch team needs something in kanezaka and being like “we can’t do that though because of xyz” and Genji does your classic “I know a guy…” and then it cuts to Kiriko spinning around in a wheelychair, eating a doughnut and immediately making fun of Genji because I can
Tbh I’ve always been of the opinion that the PVE promised in the 2019 Overwatch 2 announcement was absurd. A story mode for EVERY hero, plus unique skill trees with 40-50 different skills each? It seemed like it was going to be comparable to Borderlands with Vault Hunter builds, except Borderlands has never had a game with over thirty playable Vault Hunters. The most they’ve ever had is six.
It was an insane promise that never had any chance of coming to fruition. I can’t believe they ever made that claim in the first place.
