look. I really wish I had never realized this but I can hold my silence no longer. Zevran Arainai has the exact same character introduction as Puss In Boots from Shrek 2 and I don’t know what to do with that information
genji: *takes of his visor in front of mccree*
mccree: what in tarnation, who are you and whered genji go????
genji: *puts his visor back on*
mccree: genji!!! you just missed some weird guy ive never seen before come in
depict hanzo as the smart one and mccree as ignorant all you want, but just know that mccree was literally renowned in deadlock when he was at least 17 years old for just how incredible his resourcefulness and marksmanship were. meanwhile hanzo fights a guy who sounds like his brother, knows about his past with his brother, calls him by his first name upon first meeting (something that’s reserved for people who are close to you in japan), continuously brings up his brother’s murder, fights with a sword like his brother, and controls the dragons. yet when he says “brother” hanzo’s just “????!!??!?!?! MY BROTHER IS DEAD!!!”
like, it suddenly seems far too clear why mccree’s ult is one that requires careful positioning, a stealthy cover, and precise timing, while hanzo’s ult is basically just throwing his massive dragons at you and obliterating everything. it’s like the equivalent of those weird lazer collection videos from 2007. that’s it that’s hanzo’s ult
mccree’s eliminations are generally pretty easygoing. light teasing, nothing extreme. just junk like “you gotta work on that aim”. meanwhile hanzo’s just.
“Hardly a challenge. Is that the best you can do? So predictable. Target practice. Unworthy. Weakling!”
I’M FUCKIGN SCREAMING I’M GOING TO SUPLEX HIM INTO LAVA
McCree is the guy who pretends to be easy going and foolish because no use sweating the small stuff but is always five minutes away from getting scary lethal at the drop of a hat, because he’s always thinking, this is why Gabriel Reyes hired him because a fool is useless in covert ops, a smart man who wears the guise of a fool like a second skin is a gift.
Hanzo is the guy who pretends to have his shit together and be calm and composed but is five minutes from shouting “FUCK IT” at all times.
it’s official. no one can ever complain about millenials ever again. we may be killing the cereal industry but at least we’re not killing the country uwu
