blizzard really should have worked to get their character shorts out faster before their abysmal writing and source filmmaker made it impossible to take any of their characters seriously 

dva is like the one character in overwatch that is physically impossible to take seriously. she says oppa gangnam style and epic win. you cant make her meka blowing up seem dramatic. it doesnt work. you are at odds with your own video game here trying to make things seem dramatic when the game is so objectively goofy. 

its like they made a reaper short that tries to paint him as genuinely tragic and not a massive goofball edgelord that likes to dress in silly skeleton costumes. 

i dont see how bliz ripped off everything from tf2 that worked EXCEPT for the tone. like. the one thing that makes tf2 worth coming back to even if only for the comics and shorts. i dont think people would give even a quarter of a shit about the heavy if they tried to give him pathos. hes just a big man that like to kill things and he yells a lot. the soldier likes to get naked and wrestle the heavy’s hot buff sister. 

dva is a joke character. shes a joke about twitch streamers. dont try to give her melodrama. its too late. its been two years. all the people trying to take overwatch’s lore seriously left and started photoshopping kpop boys in to cows. you’re not gonna turn dva in to the next bastion short, people only liked the bastion short because you ripped off The Iron Giant beat for beat. its not gonna work.
