Mei literally found out her friends died and she was the last survivor. And in a matter of a minute, she moved on. Snowball, her only friend left sacrificed them self and she was completely left alone. And what did she do? She moved on. Honestly this girl is so strong and brave, she keeps moving forward, not looking back on the past, keeping her hope, her determination, it’s all so inspiring. A lot of us would have just cried and maybe even blamed the world. This could have been Mei’s backstory on how she becomes a villain, blaming society for the disbandment of overwatch, thus letting her friends die. But she swears to protect humanity and fight alongside overwatch. Truly an idol

[@JDog2656]

When people say “move on” it’s rather dismissive. Moving forward is what she did. She carried everything her friends did and made sure it wasn’t for nothing

[@nick4949]

@@JDog2656 Exactly the message here. She could still very well be traumatized from the event, but sitting there being angry at the world isn't something smart to do, especially if your the sole survivor and many other lives depends on the information you have.

Mei's story is so inspiring every time I watch it. She wakes up after 9 years to find she has been forgotten and is all alone except snowball after finding out her team has died in cryogenic sleep. And after her struggles to create the cry-gun and losing her friends and snowball she tries to call for help only to be met with a call for help back and even after all that she choses not to give up hope but to answer the call of from Overwatch. To me that is what makes her a true hero even in her greatest time of need she puts others before herself even if it means facing near impossible odds.

If you think about it, Mei is the embodiment of Overwatch's core message - the whole "always use more heroes" thing. She was but a lowly climatologist while Overwatch was around, and then after "witnessing" her colleagues and friend's deaths, faced insurmountable odds to hopefully save millions of people, even taking up the recall message. Truly one of my favourite shorts Edit - Since some people are confused, when I said 'Lowly Climatologist', I meant in terms of the more fantastical Heroes in the roster.

Btw everyone, they finally relased the song at the beggining. It's called Summertime and it's on Spotify on the album "Overwatch: Heroes and Villains", it just was just released and it's official.

[@meowcow21]

The beautiful thing is that even after being frozen for 9 years, being completely forgotten about and left to die, losing all of her friends, and having to make her way out of antarctica by herself, she's still one of the most cheerful heroes in the game.

[@watchpointoh3354]

Well, that seems to be a common trend for a lot of the characters. Tracer was lost in time, which was (as she said) a terrifying experience, and yet she's still a happy and silly character. Winston feels great sadness for both the current state of the world, and the fate that befell the Lunar Colony scientists, including his father figure, and yet he still has a great sense of humor and care for his friends. Reinhardt is a veteran of a world war, having watched soldiers and civilians being slaughtered in mass by the Omnics, including his master and close friend, yet he is perhaps the friendliest character in the game to those whom he loves. Notable exceptions to this trend are Soldier: 76, Ana, and Reaper, who are all haunted by their past and are grim, embittered vigilantes and (in the case of Reaper) terrorists.

[@ericguo9870]

@xr7fan Lmao stfu racist

[@ericguo9870]

@xr7fan First of all, relating the virus exclusively to the Chinese race is overall detrimental. Furthermore, the virus was contained relatively well in relation to other deadly viruses such as the H1N1 virus from America. You can see that other countries such as Vietnam and South Korea have prevented the virus from properly devastating their economies. However, America has been dealt a heavy blow due to Trump's improper actions in early January. Stop blaming China for the mistakes of other governments.

[@ericguo9870]

@xr7fan "LIKELY" There is a current ongoing coalition of 106 nations INCLUDING CHINA that have agreed to search for the origin of covid and how each individual nation did in their efforts to contain it. HOWEVER AMERICA DID NOT JOIN THIS COALITION. Because Trump knows that he would be the laughing stock of the world once the coalition finds out just how much he delayed preventative measures. At this point, I trust the Chinese government more as they were not the ones that have claimed "masks are useless" for the first month of the outbreak. Couple that along with the fact that Trump has even suggest INJECTING DISINFECTANT, I think I'll believe the other side for now.

It did say Malfunction when she woke up earlier and it could meant that she was the lucky one. One could preserve them through hibernation but if the certain capsule had malfunction it wouldnt preserve the bodies and they could be dead inside. It showed the heartrate earlier with flat lines, meaning they were dead and she had to give them one last cup of tea to pay respects to them as a team. :)
