It's High Noon Somewhere

Mercy: “Winston, you don’t need to say that every time you put that costume on.”

Winston: “Stone by day, warriors by night. We were betrayed by the humans we had sworn to protect, frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years.”

Mercy: “Please stop.”

Winston: “Now, here in Manhattan the spell is broken. And we live again!” 

Mercy: “Lena, I blame you for this.”

Tracer: “Let him have his fun!”

i’m late to the party but wtv, welcome to the game you goddamn gerbil

Was playing CTF a while ago and a friend saw the Tracer self kill, laughed, but didn’t know what happened. I witnessed the whole thing and was delighted to tell him what I saw

VICTORY!!

the implausible backstories

the stage names

the exaggerated personae

how nobody’s origin story actually seems to impact who they fight

the highly specific and long-running rivalries

the nonsensical timeline

how half the cast has “died” and then come back

how it’s never clear what anyone’s actually fighting for
