Overwatch Animated Short - Shooting Star
A new Overwatch Animated Short has been revealed!

[grexly75]

Now that was an epic short movie..

[Stormdash]

Yeah, no. She's dead. Or in a hospital for the next year figuring out how to walk.

But it was cute watching her and Johnny Friendzone there surrounded by empty cans and spilled chips

[Wishblade]

Top quality stuff, as one might expect.

Still don't overly care about D.Va though, as much as this made her seem slightly more interesting.

[Aquilius]

For me this movie was like meh... Or should I say MECH?

[Dr Assbandit]

Yeah, no. She's dead. Or in a hospital for the next year figuring out how to walk.

Considering he's most probably her brother as she even calls him that, I'd say the Friendzone is a good thing in this case .

[Ophenia]

"She emerged without a scratch"

Proceeds to appear with apparently one broken leg

Top quality cinematic but the story is bit too straightforward. No twist, you perfectly know where it's going, that's a bit disappointing from Blizzard.
But hey, she's cute as hell

[Railander]

Yeah, no. She's dead. Or in a hospital for the next year figuring out how to walk.

i thought she was going to do a perpendicular pose before reaching the water, but falling on her back? yeah, she's definitely a goner.

Hey, at least she was injured. Most writers would have just had her wet or something.
Though admittedly, this is pretty sci-fi. She might have some protection weaved into her suit there that absorbs shocks, given that her mech is designed for low-altitude flight. Future smart fabric could maybe do stuff like that.

[The One Percent]

The most cringey character on the roster.

[Deleted]

She looks cute. It seems they want to incrase the sales in East-Asia but they will lose a lot from the Chienese. They still remember what Japan "the superior" race did to them (Japan rightfully thinks Korea is theirs) so DVA is part of them ^^.

[Jshadowhunter]

Maaaaaaan... I was hoping that we'd finally see Zarya.

The poor buff slav girl doesn't get enough love. =(

[Biomega]

"She emerged without a scratch"

That was the point. Similar to the news report at the start of the video, they aren't saying what she's REALLY doing. They're reporting on a persona, not a person.

[glowpipe]

Why is this not on the overwatch part of mmo and on the wow part instead ?

[Martymark]

That was pretty lame compared to the other ones. Also, poor sad eternal friendzoned korean niceguy...

[Necroxis]

D.Va needs to get that sexy asian man d.

Need more romance in Overwatch to humanize these characters beyond 1 panel of 1 comic showing Tracer is a lesbian.

Yeah Hana even says to not believe what he sees on the holovids. I thought the point was glaring.

I've been seeing as many people also saying that what she calls him is, comparatively, something you'd say to a close male friend, not an actual blood relative.

But who knows.

[InDecisive]

This genuinely reduced my appreciation of the character. I always enjoyed the cheeky, arrogant, frivolous nature of the character that's always been portrayed by everything in-game - even her name is a pun on "diva", the implication's always been that she's an attention-seeking pro-gamer e-celeb who casually saves Korea from time to time as a side gig through sheer force of APM. Having her actually be a serious-minded workaholic who shuns the spotlight, worries constantly about the future, and tries to take responsibility for everything completely upends what I liked about her from how she is in the game.

[fishoa]

ow = dead game

[Biomega]

It was, all in all, a rather boring short. Nothing interesting happened. None of the factions came up. No bigger issues. Even the fighting was mundane and boring (just compare to something like the Hanzo/Genji thing). And the whole Johnny Friendzone thing was only slightly less cringe than the soft drinks and chips.

Come on Blizzard, we know you can do better. This is the worst short by a mile.

[Kathranis]

I feel like it would have had more impact if the other four MEKA pilots showed up at the end to help her. "You can't do it by yourself!" -> "She single-handedly saved Busan!" doesn't really sit well for me. Not exactly a good moral for a team-based game...

But I guess to do that they would have needed to model all the other mechs.

Anyway, hoping we get another playable mech pilot at some point. "Casino" looks the most unique/interesting of them. D.Mon's mech is probably too huge to be playable, Overlord's is actually more of an aircraft, and King's is basically the same mech that D.Va uses, albeit with a slightly different configuration.
