Breakfast Topic: Hanzo and Genji are boring, I love Hanzo and Genji

When the cast Overwatch was first announced, Hanzo and Genji were among the characters I just did not care about. Out of the entire cast, Hanzo, Genji, McCree, Reaper, and Soldier: 76 all seemed like boring filler characters. They didn’t have an aesthetic which caught my interest at all and I generally wanted them to go away so I could see more of the other characters. After the release of Dragons yesterday afternoon, I’ve changed my tune about Hanzo and Genji in particular.

Yes, Hanzo and Genji’s story is still tropey as all get out. Their story comes with the crutches of cliche, but their short caught my interest anyway. It was cool. They were cool. Suddenly, I want to know a great deal more about these guys. On the other hand, McCree’s comic made him out to be just as boring as I feared.

Has the Overwatch material released so far changed your opinion about any of the characters? Did Symmetra’s comic reach out and grab you? Did you have high hopes for a particular character which were ultimately dashed?
