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. No disrespect to irl Climatologists

[@Mascotverseuli]

[@SLVRNN]

@@Mascotverseuli Glad im not alone with that i agree!

I also love in the Overwatch 2 cinematic - she's hardly a warrior and yet when things start exploding her instant reaction is to make an ice barrier to shield some civilians whilst eating the full force of the explosion and nearly dying. She's a badass.

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

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.

My one problem with this story is that at no point in the process of disbanding overwatch did anyone stop and realize “oh $#!+ we have a bunch of scientists currently frozen in Antarctica, we should send someone to wake them up and send them home” or worse the possibility that they were intentionally left for dead

[@elijahbush9742]

They problem sent out a broadcast or something but the storm happened

[@markusallen102]

Elijah Bush what about when nobody responded And if they thought everyone was dead they should have sent someone or something to get the bodies so their families can have a funeral

[@YorinLuck]

at 2:46 there was a headline "Antarctic Base Lost In Polar Storm" so they probably think everyone's dead and the base may be buried/out of reach now since Overwatch is defunct and they can't utilize those assets to mount a rescue or something.

[@gundamnmechas8518]

It frustrates me to no end that Overwatch has no story mode. The characters and lore absolutely _beg_ for one, as evidenced by these animated shorts.

[@hilyfe01]

Gundamn Mechahunter exactly

[@ubiquitousnuisance1395]

separate game maybe using a similar engine?

[@Atlink]

I think the main problem is that the lore of the characters wouldn't make sense in terms of the game itself. Weird, since Blizz keeps developing backstories for each character. Kind of weird how you'd have characters like Widowmaker and Tracer on the same team, even though you can tell they're enemies. I think a campaign/story mode would further question that. Then again, in the multiplayer game, who cares about story at that point? Kind of like how in Mortal Kombat X you can have Johnny Cage viciously murder his own daughter. I think Blizz will incorporate a story mode when interest in the game starts to slow down, and fans want something more than just a new character or map.

[@m4g318]

Gundamn Mechahunter I feel if they make all of that then and we get everything we want we'll feel empty inside with nothing left to yearn for

[@SerratedSkies]

As Kaplan has said, the reason ie because they liked the idea of the fans filling in the blanks. Creating personalities and headcanons. Ships and backstories. They knew it was inevitably going to happen so they based their whole model around it. These shorts are the backbone for us to build on and go wild and have fun with it. Cause in the end, the game was designed with fun as the first priority.

[@thefinkest7047]

I really want a overwatch movie

[@gracevincent4693]

I think it was originally supposed to be a movie. However, Blizzard saw that that would be a metric ton of cash so they decided to make a video game instead. That’s why we have Overwatch today. I think that’s the story at least.

[@theexitiabilis3654]

Shaggie Shagguire I'm sure they are ridiculously expensive as well

[@Relixification]

not if they get backed up by an Animated Studio like Pixar.

[@Van-Leo]

overwatch was a movie but was halted because it was too expensive so they made a game instead

[@summoner1451]

That doesn't make any sense. A movie would cost less than a video game as not only do you have to animate it like animated movies, but you have to work on netcode, the game engine and a bunch of other things. It would have been a lot cheaper to just make an animated movie. It was always planned to be a game as Overwatch was made after another blizzard game failed and they broke up a lot of the heroes from that game and made it into overwatch.

[@SGashesNetwork]

Well it wasn't too expensive. They just thought a game would've made more money(which it did). Now if they think they have enough story for movie and if the profits are there, I'm sure they'll make one

[@nepoleon92]

I love Mei, by far one of my fav overwatch characters. I couldn’t imagine how devastating it would be to wake up and see that everyone you knew was abandoned and dead.

A lot of people say that Widowmaker's back story is pretty depressing, but if you think about it, Mei's story is quite sad. Imagine waking up and finding that your work mates, your friends, were dead and Overwatch, the heroes who saved many people, had been disbanded. It'd be pretty upsetting.
