Sigma has the best lore out of any character. End of argument. He went from a scientist, to essentially a god. He's supposedly met the Iris, experienced a black hole, can hear the universe, control gravity, and one can only imagine what else. Shame he was exploited by Talon
Especially impressive considering they likely didn't work on the concept for him as ling as other heroes. He was originally meant to be Mauga but then became Sigma when they decided the kit didn't fit Mauga's character
@@cee-hoI think the guy only said that cause of how it heavily retconned both Genji’s and Hanzo’s youth. Also I don’t think they ever fully expanded the new warriors that are protecting Kanemada(hoping I spelled the town correctly lol)
Part of me wants to suspect that something sketchy happened, but also the idea of her just being THAT strong that no one was ready for her is more fun to believe.
@@funkycrawler619I mean it is probably something sketchy cause in the game there’s a dialogue between Illari and Sombra that heavily implies that Illari is looking for someone and Sombra might have info on who did that
I hate how Sigma's origin story is all they ever did with him, lore-wise. He's such an amazing character, but Blizzard seems to want to forget about him.
hopefully we see more of him in the next wave of missions as they seem to be based around talon or atleast one mission is i cant wait to see what they do with the lore but i learned to not raise my expectations to high as it is blizzard...
I mean, how would his story continue? Like, we have yet to see him actually take part in a talon mission, or actually interact with talon members other than in-game interactions. He definitely needs a lot more stuff lore wise, but continuing his story? I don't see any way his story could continue, unless you want to see him seek medical help or something. Though it could be interesting to see him realise that Talon is using him, but since we barely have any talon members for now, he should just stay with them

6'6 and 7'3 large men commiting crimes and being goofballs is peak comedy. Especially consider one can yank an entire icecream truck into the air while hurling a massive, likely 130 lb hook in the air at mach 5.
i never watched the older original stories, esp Ana. no wonder as a Pharah main I keep running into this strange mother-daughter exchanges: Pharah: You're still hiding. When are you coming back for good? Ana: I'm trying, Fareeha. Please, be patient with me. Pharah: I've been patient for years, what's a little while longer?
The best ones in my opinion are Illari's, Ramattra's and Sigma's. All three of them tell stories of devastating circumstances that completely shift their lives. Sigma's acting in the Origin Story is the best with Ramattra coming close second, the voice actor for Sigma captures the emotions and confusion that Sigma experiences PERFECTLY. The lore for him as well is just crazy, the fact he was just a curious scientist who turned into a gravity manipulating god. Ramattra has a good voice actor too, the hatred and anger is felt in that video, it's phenomenal, he's probably my favourite character. The pure hatred for humans because of the constant elimination of his race in front of his eyes while being reassured that unity can be accomplished through peace is troubling and unrealistic in his eyes. For Illari the lore was like a stab in the chest, a hopeful girl passionate about her culture, striving to protect her people was the same person who destroyed everything. Unknowingly doing this, Illari would be devastated, doing the opposite of what she wanted to do 100-fold. Now Illari would probably be the only one left of her people since she basically nuked everyone, that power is a consistent reminder of what she did, that alone is a challenging thought. While it wasn't her fault and the intention wasn't there, Illari would never think that she wasn't the cause of the issue. Talking about Illari, I realize how powerful she is. Illari has the ability and power of the sun and can NUKE places. Sigma may control gravity, Tracer may control time but Illari can just destroy EVERYTHING.
@LordJazz Yeah, OP not exactly realising that even a small blackhole could literally eat the Sun (our star), let alone much larger more powerful stars. Illari only nuked the special one's amongst her people, the Children of the Sun, not all of her people. Pretty small scale solar nuke too, barely made much damage in the room they were all in. Totally fried her brethren, whom were all supposed to be able to absorb Solar effects, which is a testament to it's potential potency. But still, a blackhole would eat it like it was a light snack.
Kiriko and Illaria have such nice backstories and they look amazing. Then there's lifeweaver with the most beautifully animated backstory I've ever seen.
these aren’t even all the stories… lucio, symettra, mei, winston, widow, mercy, zarya, and junker queen are missing. (that’s probably not all that were left out those are just the ones i can name off the top of my head)
There’s so much hidden detail in Sigma’s origin, it’s insane. The biggest one being the hidden voice lines if you play the video in reverse. I recommend taking some time out to look up all the details. So much work, and they do nothing with it.
Doomfist’s motives make sense but initiating them is what’s wrong with his plans. He has a goal to make humanity stronger but he only seems to think it can be accomplished through conflict, while he has good intentions on strengthening the world, he’s built tunnel vision over his goals due to his past as a fighter.
Soldier 76. the one thing they love more than a hero is to see a hero fail, fall, die trying. In spite of everything you've done for them, eventually they will hate you. Norman Osborne.

a greater shame the lack of lore he gets other than that.
would love to see him during a talon operation like we get with the sombra reveal trailor
He pushed the human mind to it's limits
Especially impressive considering they likely didn't work on the concept for him as ling as other heroes. He was originally meant to be Mauga but then became Sigma when they decided the kit didn't fit Mauga's character
his origin story is genuinely scary and i love it
And we pray to God he doesn’t fully snap
The clash between kiriko’s origin and rammatra’s is funny because they’re so different right next to each other
I mean, to be fair, they are very similar too. Since both of them vow to protect their people.
Some snarky brat who's story doesn't make sense VS a tortured monk who wishes peace for his people and will get it no matter the cost

Lifewaever, Illaria, Kiriko, Bridgitte, Echo are beautiful stories :) want more nature and elements in this game :)
Completely agree! I love that theme
I adore Brigitte!
Illari’s story hits extra hard when you keep in mind that she’s only 18 years old.

Sigma has the power of a black hole, not just gravity. He's literally the most powerful person in Overwatch lore.
Ramon tikaram (Ramattra’s voice actor) literally deserves an Oscar for his voice acting. it’s so damn good

I agree with your list, those three are def my favs too
Pretty sure black holes have a gravity so strong that even sunlight can’t escape the event horizon..
Doomfist the anime💀😭😂 Ngl he had the best one I wish it was a series tbh
This is how Doomfist see himself and the world :
Doomfist is King
Kiriko and Illaria have such nice backstories and they look amazing. Then there's lifeweaver with the most beautifully animated backstory I've ever seen.
REAL I LOVE WIFELEAVER MY HUSBAND
man junkrat is actually so tall, I didn't realize. Does that mean everyone else is atleast 6 ft?
no he just has miserable posture, he has an animation where he stands up straight and becomes taller than most of the lineup
@@lescrub8040 That would make a ton of sense. Come to think of it, this is 2070 something, so everyone must be a bit taller naturally.
Nobody’s talking about roadhog? My man’s literally 7’2 and you’re freaking out over 6’6
@@canovanthecanman 6'6 man. Thats taller than the height of a modern day heavyweight champion for UFC
@@canovanthecanman yeah but roadhog LOOKS 7'3 lol
Sigma’s origin would for ever be my favorite…the voice acting was on another level. And don’t get me started on how he basically elevated to a god
Damn Sigma's cinematic is pretty dissonant and disorientating and I love it
Guys why was I getting emotional watching these like I’m literally about to cry and I’m not even half way done😭😭😭
ur not alone T.T same happend to me ..
Yooooo right!? I was driving to work listening to this and I'm like wtf why am I about to cry?
Yall crying because blizzard wont ever keep building these characters
these aren’t even all the stories… lucio, symettra, mei, winston, widow, mercy, zarya, and junker queen are missing. (that’s probably not all that were left out those are just the ones i can name off the top of my head)
Doomfist and sigma origin are super underrated they’re both very powerful in their origins but I wish they could’ve done better with doomfist ingame.
In Sigma’s story, the equations vibrate in line with the music
I loved how all the videos were grouped in a way so they had a smooth transition when switching stories
Btw radishes are my favorite vegetable
Sigma's will always give me chills. I love it
same
There’s so much hidden detail in Sigma’s origin, it’s insane. The biggest one being the hidden voice lines if you play the video in reverse. I recommend taking some time out to look up all the details.
So much work, and they do nothing with it.
CLEAN TRANSITIONS
sigma is so cool he reminds me of dr manhatten, but they both deal with their new, insane power in different ways
I forgot how badass the origins were
sigmas cinematic actually made me get severe chills
28:07 casually kills her whole family and acts like she doesnt care💀💀
a nice detail in sigma's origin story is on his tag on the jump suit, there is a sign that is used in physics, that sign is also called sigma
It's not just a sign, the sigma is the name of the Greek letter s (Σ)
You're missing Junker Queen.
I didn’t realise she had one! Thanks for letting me know! 😁
@@SaminUP one of the best imo
Did anyone have a Vietnam flashback on the Brig origin story?
Ok now sigma is my favorite tank because god thats actually a pretty good origin
“FACE THE SUNRISE”
Sigma's backstory will always give me chills, its haunting.
7:43 how it feels when i find out a keyboard shortcut on my own:
I love Illari's origin story
I wish they gave the same animetion as Kiriko's to Lifeweaver and Illari as well. Would love to watch them in 3D ;_;
The tonal clash of Kiriko->Ram->Weaver->Illiari feels like getting hit by a bus 4 times in a row
Radishes are my favourite vegetable
Illari's short is still so tumblr 2010's "my allpowerful girlie killed her whole family but it's ok cause she's cute!"

These are all stunning imo
7:51 Is that The Finals Logo on the left there??
it's volskaya industries logo, the company that hires zarya in the infiltration cinematic
Doomfist origin story is sickest.
fiery hot take soldier, widow, and sombra's origins are the coolest, closely followed by ram, ashe, and bap.
Sigma has the best one hands down, and i dont even play him
I didn’t know these existed that’s insane
Damn baptiste 😩
Echo’s origin goes kinda hard
Ah yes all Origin stories while completely skipping Mercy, Rein, Torb, DVa, etc..
Hi thanks for the comment! Those ones are animated cinematics so aren’t included in this video 😁 I do have videos with those though! 😁
Blame Blizzard for not making these for all the base roster characters.
those are not origin stories

I have wondered that.
So... can someone please tell me who the guy in the bottom left is suppose to be at 05:01 of the video? That ain't Genji, is it? O.o
It is, before he got “killed” by Hanzo
whos the one kneeling beside reaper? does anyone know?
unknown character
Maybe hero coming soon?
hopefully@@Tommydiah
I heard his name is Emre

right?? 150 too 🤣
NAH NAH. ROADHOG IS 7'3????
Radishes are my favorite vegetables
your missng the goaat hanzos story
Why is Tracer's name muted out???
The sound is messed up in her origin story, don’t know why
@@Julipiterher last name was classified for a long time, and i believe the audio was messed up bc she phased in and out of reality like the audio phased in and out, it's like that in the og vid too
Why hasn't this been translated into a movie?
I feel like sigma by far has the best one here.
This would be perfect if it had any pauses between the stories. They overlap a lot of the time and it takes away from the experience.
I wish blizzard would start focussing on hero lore and lore in general rather than releasing a new hero every three months 😭
Did Illari's people not know the history of nuclear weapons and atomic bombs?
The Widow x Ana storylines are a movie in themselves
i do love character of anna she is true spirit of 5o first
I am the last child of the SUN!
"Radishes are my favourite vegitable" (not really)
WHY IS SIGMA'S ORIGIN SO SCARY
I love how ana's name is ana because ana in arabic is me/i so at the end of her thing its like me your mom idk
If junkrat is 6,5 im 8,11
rams strory is the BEST he just wanted peace and the ppl hated them SO HE WILL CREATE HIS PEACEFULL WORLD
wait why is there no junkerqueen?
We're is genji and Hanzo y'all completely forgot about them this isn't the complete story if they weren't there
Pls blizzard just make an overwatch anime
Why was Ana's story make me cry?!?!
Where is the story of the reaper?
illari is just senna+leona lmao
I don't know about ya'll but a little salt on rdishes is the bees knees.
Where’s is genii and honzo and mercy and so much more are missing
they don't have origin stories yet! Gengo and Hanzo have cinematics though that can be found in some of my other videos
The fact junker queen dous not exist
They cooked with ram and sig
you forgot junkerqueen
Bro forgot junker queen
i need zenyatta origin story >:(
I swear like 5 years ago these were more of a live animation. Not the style it’s in rn it was more of overwatch style not this cartoony picture animations
Why is there nothing for symetra?
I love tracers accent 😅
