      the full line he was going to say was “I will bring you a new understanding of the universe”

      OMG THE MORE I WATCH IT I UNDERSTAND IT MORE AND MORE. he was going to say the universe, but him saying violence followed up by the gunshots is TALON brainwashing him and giving him his 3rd personality.. wow this short is brilliant
      mmm idk, u actually see him in his talon suit before u hear the gunshots.. so actually i think that violent tendency was in him somewhere already
      ACTUALLY, when he says “RELEASE ME” its a double meaning. Talon initially free’d him, only to tamper with his mind and make him violent. it was foreshadowing.. yea this is brilliant

    • @SheddedSnake999
      @SheddedSnake999 4 ปีที่แล้ว +875

      Sigma hears the black hole because some say the black hole sings so he just hears it and it drives him mad the fact that he can hear it and no one else can. It just keeps singing and singing and it never ever stops. He tried to become the universe, but the universe became him. The black hole looks like the iris of an eye from above and Sigma has harnessed that. So "Gravity is a harness. I have harnessed the harness" means he's harnessed the black hole. It's depicted in the final scene where there is a Sigma with a light black and a dark black hole. You can also hear him say "release me" in reverse when he is shown with Talon as if the good in him is trying to escape.

      well they did give his ult a maniac laughter in the background and whenever you use his accretion or kinetic grasp in a more silent enviroment, you can actualy hear whispers inside Sigma's head. Although I feel like they could increase the colume because you can't hear any of it mid-fight, save for the ult's sounds.

      I mean... Quite literally to. If a black hole the size of a pea exists, its mass is basically almost our Earth (at about .42 times). So if one that's about the size of your palm exists, it would most likely weigh more than our solar system. Plus the Hawking radiation would've disintegrated him in an instant and I don't see him wearing any protection gear on his head. It is, in every sense of the sentence, "too much to hold on to".

Thus, he really was unified across multiple realities, which would explain why one's a psychopath, and the other's a bit more stable while the one we're left with is literally trying to hold onto what's left of his split and fractured sanity/reality.

On the other side of understanding, being able to know and think and feel in ways the brain is far too primitive for. And then returning back from the void. Back to what is known, but still remembering. Not remembering how you thought, why you thought, how you felt, but remembering only that there is something *more*

    Overwatch could easily create one of the murkier ideas in cosmic horror.
    The fact that crossing such a physical boundary as controlling a black hole would tear you apart on an inhuman level both mentally and emotionally is terrifying. It can be interpreted as the doctor crossing a barrier to which it is impossible to use a minimum human understanding, to which the brain is not capable of processing what he lived there, permanently altering his reality.
    Thinking that the universe itself is "singing" to him. Perhaps it was what Sigma saw beyond her experiment.

    Something to note with dementia is that, music is one of the few things those suffering from dementia can retain (that's why everywhere at the end of time is such a powerful album), so associating Sigma's broken psyche with a constant melody that he recognizes but can't put his finger on makes his condition even more believable

    I actually watched a video on Sigma, it discussed the idea that the melody is a way that Talon controls him. The melody most likely brings out the other side of Sigma, the violent side. In this video there are multiple hints at him having two personalities. (Most likely due to brain damage from the black hole) And in the game Sigma is insanely nice to the other heroes. Yet when he hears the melody, his ult activates. Making him powerful enough to kill multiple people at a time. It may be a little far fetched, but it's still a cool theory. Also, props the amazing voice acting for Sigma. This man deserves an Oscar.

    What I find most impressive in this story is how they told us about his perception with time that only now we are fully understanding. You see, the background and Sigma keep shifting, as if he's being pulled back and forth through time, never knowing how long things had passed. For him, something that has yet to occur (such as a meeting for lunch) actually happened almost decades ago, just like as if he was pulled into a black hole, he probably know everything that had happened and everything that will, and that was too much for his "simple human brain" to understand.
    Truly an amazing lore for such a character

    In terms of lore, Sigma is one of my favorite characters. I honestly really like when games or movies do the whole "Scientist goes crazy studying the thing they're a professional in" trope.
    Sigma's study itself is extremely interesting anyways. The study of being able to summon, or possibly even control black holes at one's own will, as well as the power to harness gravity.
    It really makes you wonder just how powerful Sigma is. If he can make black holes anywhere he pleases, he could destroy the world, if not the galaxy. He's the most powerful character in Overwatch lore-wise.

      Widowmaker is apparently the one closest to being dead, her physiology has been slowed down so much that her skin has turned blue, her heart apparently barely beats at all... hence why she doesn't feel emotion, she essentially became a sociopath because she no longer feels emotions, you know, except when she kills people, that's when she feels the slightest rush, and because she can't feel anything else, she's addicted to the only feeling she gets, apparently.

    Based on what just happened, I’m gonna theorize that his investigation and his experiments eventually led him to seeing into the “Iris” that Zenyatta keeps talking about.
    The Iris has been described as not something specific, but everything and it gives an awakening of consciousness for Omnics. Imagine you are something with no thoughts, and no feelings, and then suddenly, you feel something and everything at once. I think that’s how Omnics “wake up”.
    You give that to someone that ALREADY has consciousness and intelligence, that would and did spit a mind apart mentally. Which is what we just saw with Sigma. This would explain how he’s able to levitate like Zenyatta can. Either that or the shift of gravity…
