"Why is the majority of people of color on the bad side?" If you mean non-white/non-asian characters, then good people of color are Ana, Baptiste, Illari, Lucio, Pharah, Sojourn, Symmetra, Venture, and Orisa (if you want to count African omnic horsemom), and bad side (talon) are just Doomfist, Mauga, and Sombra (although I wouldnt call sombra bad, she works for herself and plays all sides)
FYI Brigitte (the tall redhead) is actually the daughter of Torbjorn (the blond midget from the original overwatch strike team) and Reinhardt is her Godfather. Rein saved Torbjorn's life on a mission, and as a gesture of thanks Torbjorn let Rein pick a name for his first child (which was Brigitte).
A little late to this, but for more context on DVA, the Korean government basically hired PRO gamers (the best of the best) to pilot mecha suits to fight off giant robots that emerge from the sea (like Pacific Rim) , no one knows how or why they emerge but its likely that theres a secret/abandoned underwater Omnic factory like the ones we saw in the Awakening shorts (the Anime looking ones).
Sombra isn't Alejandra from that Soldier's cinematic but they both Mexican, Soldier's cinematic had place in map Dorado and when Sombra was about to release as in-game character Dorado screens on map were hacked by her
not sure if it was fully explained to u but cassidy's name originally was jesse mccree, named after a blizzard employee i think, but it came out said employee like SA'd someone i think, so they changed his name to cole cassidy so he dont share a name with a bad guy lol
Actually, Cole Cassidy IS a cowboy name. Cole, which mean charcoal is the part that play on the fact that he uses a gun. And Cassidy is from a fictional cowboy named Hopalong Cassidy, one of the first cowboy that inspired all the western movies. Furthermore, they added a canon reason to the fact that his name changed when they announced it. It's the fact that he used to have fake aliases and went by them from a long time and that with the new overwatch he felt he had to go by his real name and be honest about himself.
Also, for Sojourn, lore wise she was really sick as a child, so I would like to point out that the only thing human in her is probably like only her brain, otherwise everything else was replaced by technology to keep her alive. She's a full on cyborg whose likeness was mirrored on her own and how her twin sister looks. So she might actually be wearing part of a wig or implants and those eyebrows are actually pieces of metal if you look closely enough XD
@@CelineStilinski aww that's actually so sad! I wonder why her origin story didn't show that? Glad that you pointed out that the eyebrows were metal because MAN they do look bad😂
@@thiaoshi There's actually a whole book about her! That tells her story through the omnic crisis and a bunch before that. But not everyone outside of the lore nerds (like me ahah) know about it. Same thing with Orisa and her creator, there's a whole book. There's also one about Ashe and Cassidy before they parted (where he's still called McCree, although in the french translation, which coincided, he's called Cassidy)
@@thiaoshi Also the origin story was purposefully done to not spoil the book but also say that she testified and was a real weight for the shut down of overwatch although she was known as a high rank officer before then. It's more about her origin within overwatch than her actual origin tbh ahah
58:00 zarya (russian lady ) isnt a bad guy she was hired to find sombra shes the worlds stronges woman no one is able to lift her weapon shes the only one whos able to use it shes so much fun to play
The guy at 1:18:30 couldn't have survived cos he got stabbed super deep with an energy sword from one of those robots at 1:15:15 right after saving reinhardt. So he basically tells reinhardt "I don't have enough time and won't make it, get to safety while I finish these guys"
1:18:51 that's not reinhardt's daughter that's actually his squire brigitte, who is also playable in the game and is funnily enough actually torbjorn's daughter
@thiaoshi maybe not as easy as someone like mercy, moira, or illari but brig's been my main like since she released in overwatch 1 and I have WAAAAY more hours on her than anyone else so i'm not stopping now
Baldur, reinhardts friend couldnt survive because he had a sword impale his whole ass body, he definitely couldnt have went with rein he would just have slowed him down and then all the soldiers would die. So I wouldn't say that the sacrifice wasnt unnecessary.
8:48 sigh…that’s what we’ve been saying for 8 years, man. if only they recognized the story and character’s full potential and didn’t fire and/or abuse all of the lore, writing, and animation teams. :/
Yeah, me and my chat on twitch was talking about this. Like look at arcane and the last of us. Overwatch can really create their own line if they did this💜
@@thiaoshi oh yup THE age incident. Well not even an incident, it's just the team responsible for the lore are either careless or they were told by the higherups to make her so much younger, even if nonsensical, because they're trying to make her the new face of Overwatch instead of tracer.
@@thiaoshi But thats not all. According from their official novels Sojourn would have joined the army at 15 and had her robotic prosthetic surgeries at 13. Her twin sister at the time having a 5 year old child, meaning she gave birth at 14😶It just proves the ages they released were just complete bs with no thought behind them. They really just couldnt have women being old, because that wouldnt sell...
@@berzusula strange comment to tack on to the end there when ana, who’s 62 and one of the oldest characters, is the second most played hero in the game
So they changed his name from Jessie Mcree to Cole Cassidy because the overwatch worker that mcree was named after was exposed for sexually harassing and assaulting another worker
loved the video 💚 just discovered you and am probably gonna stick around ☺️ and for the lil anime shorts, Aurora, the omnic who sacrificed herself, isn't Winston's AI, that's Athena ✨ It's kinda confusing but it's fun lol
Video of my reaction to ALL Overwatch origin stories is live on the channel!!! th-cam.com/video/xAjhGwmpn2M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dg8q31NAUcZMolab

Aw that's so sweet! I love how personal they made these stories for these heroes!
Ain't no way you did my little cutie torbjron like that
The blonde midget is kinda crazy, no?😂
Where can u learn about lore etc from this? People always seem to know so much about characters. Is it a book or something?
Brigitte is actually his youngest child, but everything else is correct 😎
What makes Illari’s story more sad, she’s only 18. Youngest human character. Someone get my girl some therapy
SHE'S ONLY 18!!! omg! baby girl needs a hug💜

DVA's story is so cool to me! She lowkey has the best job in ow in my opinion. gamer by day and crime fighter at night🤭
Sombra isn't Alejandra from that Soldier's cinematic but they both Mexican, Soldier's cinematic had place in map Dorado and when Sombra was about to release as in-game character Dorado screens on map were hacked by her
Wait! that's so cool! I would have loved to see that 💜and thanks for clearing up that up for me!
Uncle Iroh: I'm the Dragon of the West 😂
Kiriko has the power of the Kitsune fox spirit. In lore, Kitsune have a major sweet tooth, which is why Kiriko loves donuts

funny he acts more like Butch Cassidy then Hopalong Cassidy because there was historically and outlaw named Butch Cassidy he was with The Sundance Kid
Reaper is hispanic/mexican descent. His name is Gabriel Reyes.

@@thiaoshi Literally lmao she's my favorite character
@@theguy8614 oh really? I don't see that many people play as her. But I heard that she is quite tricky to master.
@thiaoshi maybe not as easy as someone like mercy, moira, or illari but brig's been my main like since she released in overwatch 1 and I have WAAAAY more hours on her than anyone else so i'm not stopping now
I love that lol! she seems like a cool hero to main🩷
Welcome to the world of Overwatch luv ❤️ love new players and there’s so much lore too explore. Great video 😊
thank you so much for the warm welcome and I'm glad you enjoyed the video💜

The Junkers are based off of Mad Max. Which was before my time lol I was born in '95.
wait really!!! that's so cool!! and mad max is wayyy before my time '03 lol
im so deep into the ow lore please ask me questions if you have any
how the HECK did kiriko, genji and hanzo grow up together??? the brothers are so much older than her🙃
@@thiaoshi oh yup THE age incident. Well not even an incident, it's just the team responsible for the lore are either careless or they were told by the higherups to make her so much younger, even if nonsensical, because they're trying to make her the new face of Overwatch instead of tracer.

Mei was so thick she didn't freeze
thats such a crazy thing to say 🤣
whats crazy is that mercy is like 39 now also do you want to react to the heroes origin stories
is there a video on that? I know someone in the livestream said there were even comics on the heroes.
@@thiaoshi yeah all you'd have to do is search up all origin stories for overwatch
thanks! I'll setup a livestream for next week to react to it!🩷
@@thiaoshi yipiee 'screams in briggite main :)'
@@ArianneBeugels. my reaction to the origin stories is pinned above 💜
So they changed his name from Jessie Mcree to Cole Cassidy because the overwatch worker that mcree was named after was exposed for sexually harassing and assaulting another worker
DISCLAIMER, it was not an Overwatch Dev, it was a Blizzard higher up, he did not work on Overwatch nor was he on the team
@@plasma8602 same thing mcree was still named after him
yeah, one of my mods told me that! I'm glad they changed the name though!
loved the video 💚 just discovered you and am probably gonna stick around ☺️ and for the lil anime shorts, Aurora, the omnic who sacrificed herself, isn't Winston's AI, that's Athena ✨ It's kinda confusing but it's fun lol
thank you for clearing that up. I was so confused! I apricate the love! I should be streaming OW2 here again soon💛
1:41:27 MY GOAT
tracer or genji?
@@thiaoshi Genji, ngl I fully think he could have solo'd that thing
@@gorbog1 he lowkey could have lol
I'm sure you have heard before but it was jesse McCree to Cole cassidy
