He has an affected way of speaking yeah but there's a difference between doing that and having a ridiculous parody accent. Man I don't even know why I have to justify myself here there were people upthread who complained about the fake Australian accents and nobody threw them shade :(

Well, that's largely because Australians are basically cartoon characters themselves. Fair dinkum, sheila.

But for real, I wish they were more consistent on accents in the game. As much as I love Lucio, there's no reason why they couldn't have gotten a dude that speaks Br. Portuguese or why Reinhardt doesn't speak a lick of German.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

It's interesting how much more Japanese genji speaks than Hanzo. Hanzo becomes a wanderer after he was tragically a fat dick head. So he's a world traveler. Maybe it's supposed to be a thing about how international some characters are. Reinhardt is the face of overwatch, Lucio is a famous muscian, ect.

It'd be more obvious that it was supposed to be a joke if he had a single self-aware line.

There's simply no way the evildeathdoom guy in all black surrounded by cartoon gorillas and korean catgirls can be funny. We must take him at face value.

My understanding is that she used to have a different VA but replaced her with native speaker. They probably added most of the German lines at that point.

Like again the whole ethos behind Overwatch is a throwback to developer-driven aesthetics and Reaper would totally fit in with any of the self-serious dumb bullshit that were in Unreal Tournament or whatever so the fact that he's so self serious is literally the entire point.

Really? I've only heard the Tracer one, and that one honestly says more about Tracer than it does about Reaper. It's also not that funny.
I think I might also have heard Lucio tell Reaper to "cheer up" or something once.

Widowmaker is the worst character because she's actually just as edgy as Reaper but there's nothing funny about it.

Also she's sniper scum.


EDIT: Winston has the best pre-match exchange with Reaper when it comes to making fun of him.

:smug: "Poor Winston, has to hide away to not scare the children."
:geno: "Even children wouldn't be afraid of you."
