[@TotallyToonsTV]

I would be way more satisfied having this as a full movie. If Blizzard can have Warcraft as a film then this would go down a treat.

[@chaosrave]

WOW... can blizz pls make CGI movies this was incredible

[@whoeverwhoever400]

+jason bourne Movies ans short videos are different. If this movie would be made into a long 90 - 120 mins movies, it might not be as interesting as it is now. You can't have non-stop fighting for 90+ mins in a movie. There has to be some other stories going on. And a story is getting too long or complicated, people usually start losing interest.

[@chaosrave]

[@feyefall4855]

+QuilomoboTribe yes, Im joking.

[@Spindash1]

honestly I love the juxtaposition between the playfully rapid get-it-done, point A to point B actions and personality of Tracer and the cold, calculated and sexualized brutality of Widowmaker. Two characters vastly different from each other, and we can get a feel from their personalities without pointless navel gazing or hand-holding.

[@CubixFails]

Couldn't they just... repair the robot...?

[@tanuki9691]

not if it is completely sentient, its memories and such would be destroyed

[@KazanaAoi]

+CubixFails Unfortunately, To my knowledge it's considered that a truly sentient robot's neural structure is almost indistinguishable from that of a human, If not being even more complex..And therefore not really possible to repair.. As an example, If we had a way to back up human memories the same way we can back up data on a hard drive, The fact will remain that while we have the memories, the data, We have no way of replicating the billions and trillions of crossing and crisscrossing neural connections that make us Who we are. Sure, You could create a new brain/harddrive, and upload the memories/data to it. But without that neural network, The brain would have no idea what to do with that information, It just has a list of experiences with no ordering, reason, category, or meaning to put toward it. Hope that kinda makes sense.

[@edwintkx]

+Kazana, Aoi well errm maybe they can just consult Chappy. He will know how to download sentient =)
