#overwatch #mercy #story #mythbusters #lore
I think mercy deserves an animated short she has so much story that we don't fully understand yet and story that could be really interesting to see
nnaaso21 with Genji....
Yeah kept telling people that we need a comic that puts more depth into what exactly happened with Genji and his cybernetics. It's clear that Mercy did play a key part in it, especially seeing how she and Genji have a close relationship with each other. So I wonder maybe if she not only healed his wounds post Hanzo fight but also helped him to adapt to his cybernetics and stuff.
XPvtCabooseX no, zenyatta helped him with his robot parts
Brandon Hagan zen only helped him accept his robo parts
Yeah she brought him a relic Xbox 360 and they played some Ninja Gaiden instead of brooding over his cybernetics
Myth #0: Players protect their Mercy
Jinx The Babe Cannon I actually do my best to protect ally Mercy players when I'm playing as Genji. I stick with the payload and always make sure to take the hits aimed at our Mercy. And I always ALWAYS thank her every time she heals, damage boosts, and rezes me.
*tips fedora*
XPvtCabooseX Us mercy mains thank you for your service ♥️😇
XPvtCabooseX I wish there were more people like you
Why do i see you everywhere?
Myth #6: Mercy's pistol does a surprising amount of damage.
mercy main btw.
Scσяρισи Tнє Hєℓℓѕραωи That's a fact, boi
+Scσяρισи Tнє Hєℓℓѕραωи hahahahhaha
Scσяρισи Tнє Hєℓℓѕραωи Lol so true
Scσяρισи Tнє Hєℓℓѕραωи it does that same as soilder 76s if I'm correct
Mercy needs *MORE* lore.
+Bàmboo - its going to be so interesting when, or if we find out more about her, dont you think? :)
Yes! I can't wait! :p
Bàmboo - she has enough Lore
I disagree
well there is the
mercy:what happend to you gabriel
reaper:you tell me doc
voice interaction
Fluffy Wolf yeah
Fluffy Wolf It is likely they used this line to replace the one about her not having intended to create such a monster in order to make it less obvious. Anyways, she could have been either directly or indirectly responsible for his return.
I think y'all are over thinking this. Reaper may merely be mocking Mercy for being a doctor and not knowing his condition; it doesn't have to be personal, and doesn't feel personal, as he calls her 'doc' rather than a name or nickname.
Yeah thats probably it
The "intended" conversation never existed though, there was no replacement
I did hear Marcy say to reaper "what happened to you?" With reapers reply "you tell me doc" so my guess is someone along the way must've miss heard it.
C Butterfly Oh yeah.
C Butterfly Also when Reaper is resurected he says "At least you got it right this time"
Is that line still in the game? I haven't heard it in forever.
Think the Overwatch base being in Switzerland is to do with the neutral Swiss joke
It's not a joke, Switzerland was one of the few neutral countries in Europe during the Cold War era, belonging neither to the Western nor the Soviet blocs - that state of neutrality goes even further back, to long before the two world wars, during which it also was neutral. That's where it originated from, but Switzerland remains unassociated to many political alliances such as the EU. Due to that neutrality, Switzerland hosts the headquarters of many international organizations, such as various branches of the UN, the World Trade Organization, the World Health Organization, and plenty others.
The what joke?
Unfortunately Switzerland has never been 100% (or even close to that) neutral. As a Swiss person, I feel the need to interfer whenever I see the idea being spread that Switzerland has always stayed completely neutral, sort of glorifying my home country. It's also not like we chose our neutrality, in the Congress of Vienna in 1814/1815 it has been decided that Switzerland had to be neutral to keep its independence. Also Switzerland has often took "being neutral" to accommodate its own interests. There were several incidents of us not being neutral at all, for example in the second world war. I suggest you look it up if it interests you. This is still a fairly heavily discussed topic in Switzerland itself.
But generally said, of course Red Arremer is correct and that's the reason Switzerland was chosen to be Overwatch's base. I don't necessarily disagree them, just sharing my thoughts regarding the neutrality of Switzerland.
Lavenna Yeah, of course there's more aspects and details to it than what can be reasonably expected from a RUclips comment. ;)
No country can be truly neutral in a world that is about global trade and cooperation (but also involves conflict). That said, Switzerland remains not associated with many international political alliances.
Grueziwohl from the not-so-neutral mountainous neighbor to the West. ;)
The only line I recall Mercy saying to Reaper is,
Mercy: What happened to you?
Reaper: You tell me doc.
Yeah, I actually heard that interaction. Wich made me think she is indirectly responsible.
Yes that interaction is in the game. Tho some view it as an example that she had a part in what Reaper has become, I view it more as Reaper mocking Mercy. I see it that way because Reaper saying "you tell me doc" is mocking Mercy for being a doctor and not knowing his condition. Plus if Mercy knew what was wrong with Reaper why would she ask him what happened to you.
Good point kendra a
Also, the "You're the one responsible for this." line in this video plays sometimes when you kill Mercies. I've heard it, at least.
But it also falls in line with the 'mock the doctor' thing Kendra points out. Its a joke about how Mercy is 'responsible' for resurrecting the dead teammates. Which means there's nobody to save her when he kills her. Plus its a meta-joke at the meme about Reaper mains who blame Mercy whenever they die.
Like Hammeh mentioned, we don't know who had what kind of access to Mercy's nanobiotics. Someone else could very well have used the technology she pioneered to do whatever they did to Reaper, possibly because they couldn't operate it properly or the like. Mercy isn't really responsible IF this is the case but seeing as she pioneered said technology it would make sense for Reaper to expect her to know what is wrong with him and even blame her.
Thanks for addressing the myth w/ Genji and Reaper, a lot of people think she's responsible for their current states and these myths also caused a wide spread hatred for Mercy even though it has never been put out that she had a hand in causing them to be like they currently are, as it definitely goes against her character that we know so far.
suzu sri Ikr
suzu sri how does it go agiasnt her character? who's to say she did it out of hate? what if she just wanted to stop the fighting, couldn't, reyes died, and her trying to bring him back was her way of "fixing "it.
Chaotic Neutral for Reyes if that was the case it wouldn't go against her character but for Genji it would
suzu sri What?
The way I see it, the fight between Genji and Hanzo must have happened as an Overwatch strike force was assaulting Shimada Castle, Mercy being part of this team, was able to stabilise Genji as he was dying. After getting him in a stable condition, Genji was offered the choice of joining Overwatch to help bring down his family and rebuild his body or leave his life up to chance (Although I think Mercy would've helped Genji live if he refused the offer). When they were turning Genji into a cyborg, it wouldn't surprise me if Mercy was there just incase the procedure went wrong and they needed a medic to try and stabilise him.
As for Reyes, I believe that she did try to stabilise him after the explosion of the Swiss HQ but while she was doing so, Reyes' body might have rejected her attempts and caused his current state. Due to his ability to turn into a smoke-like cloud, Mercy might think that his body disintegrated, leading her to believe he's dead...
...Until the first reports of a mysterious reports of figure known as Reaper taking out former Overwatch Agents and appearing in clouds of smoke as he strikes. This, I believe would tell Mercy that Reyes is still alive in some form but she would know not to reach out to him since he's killing her former colleges and would rather let him find her so that she can at least do as much good and save as many lives before Reaper finds her.
Either way, I would like to see what would happen if Mercy and Reaper were to meet again, maybe we'll see it in a short set in Oasis
TIME CODES to skip to different sections are in the description, firstly! Do let me know what you think - there are a lot of "facts" people state about Mercy, so here, we go Fact vs Fiction again, and try to dispel some of the myths about Mercy - Evil Mercy, Mercy the failed resurrector of Reaper, the mad scientist Doctor...and similar ;) What do you think happened to Reaper, Genji and similar? Do let me know your thoughts in the comments! [CLICK FOR MORE]
Also, important - I'm not insulting anyone's fanfiction or headcanon! Creating and imagining is half the fun, if not more :) Some people do state things as fact though, when really, we don't know just yet - and that's what this video's trying to investigate :D
Hammeh
mercy + lore + myths = Great video
I still think Mercy created Reaper. It makes way too much sense both lore-wise and for her character. Reaper's abilities are the kind of thing Nano-bots are not only made for but excel at, Mercy is one of the foremost medics in the whole world, and a leader in nano-medical care if anybody had the expertise to create Reaper it's her. And as I said it would make sense for her character, because most of the pre-Collapse characters did something they weren't exactly proud of. McCree was in a gang. Torbjorn helped create the Omnics. Ana felt like she was putting Overwatch before her family. Mercy, a paragon of virtue, only wanting to do right, saving a friend and a superior, maybe, but he turns out to be her 'mistake' for lack of a better word.
My personal theory about Reaper's resurrection and Mercy's involvement in it, is that she did try to save him, but something (or someone) interfered and it went wrong. She believed she had failed, he believes she was responsible for his state and neither of them know what really happened. There is an actual interaction in game where she's like "What happened to you?" and he's like "Idk you tell me." Buuut, then again - the interactions in game are considered non-canon, soo who knows :D
I like the theory that Genji and Reaper were both at least to an extent because of Dr. Zeigler. I'd say Reaper was a failed ressurection and she assumed he was dead, so she left him (He then became an edgelord) and Genji's cybernetics and surgery were done by Dr. Zeigler but his enhancements were done later and off the books, without her knowledge.
Hammeh - Overwatch (FailCraft) There are two voice interactions with Reaper that hint somthing actually happened with Mercy being involved in how Reyes is today. The first is Mercy"What happened to you?" Reaper"You tell me, doc". The second one is after Mercy rezz Reaper and Reaper says "At least you got it right this time". I know lines arent as canon as other stuff, but clearly something happened
Mercy asks Genji how her suit is holding up.
Kira Yoshikage dont you think Genji ask Mercy, bexause you said Mercy asked Geni how HER suit is going
Xylo Cross mercy asks Genji though
Kira Yoshikage Mercy asks Genji how he's feeling. Nothing about a suit or apparel.
clarkthebob yeah she does. She asks word for word, "genji, how is the suit doing?"
To which genji says, "fine, you did an excellent job!"
+Kira Yoshikage That reply doesn't feel like something Genji would say.
Defibrillators don't bring back people from the dead if their heart stops beating, it just resets the heart rate so it can restabilize if it becomes to high or too low
That was but a movie myth made by hollywood
number 2 is false. the devs stated that she ages but the devs have also stated she doesn't. yes her age will always change but they've stated due to her healing technology is what is making her look so young.
sorry but that one you need to specify before you call it a myth.
+Christopher Castillo source please ;]
Christopher Castillo give the man his source dude
Eric Hansen WHERES THE LAMB SOURCE
The dialog with the Mei confirms that Mercy uses something as strong as cryostasis used by Mei.
Hammeh - Overwatch (FailCraft) sadly can't find the exact link again because for whatever reason RUclips decided to give me notifications for this comment only recently but I can easily explain it with science.
In the overwatch world mercy uses nano technology as you already know and nano Technology has been used to keep heroes like genji and reaper alive, well let's highlight reaper real quick. reaper is allowed to shadow step and wraith form due to him pretty much being on the brink of death with nano biology being the only thing keeping him alive enough to still be... well alive but so close to death that he can use wraith form and all of his other abilities through breaking down of his physical form and reanimating it in another area (the lore in overwatch is very difficult to explain so I advise you look it up yourself because I'm not doing it nearly enough credit) now what this nano technology is doing is healing him fast than his cells can die, basically healing him while he's also getting killed. now let's apply nanotechnology to a non-decaying body known as mercy. mercy's cells don't die nearly as fast as reaper so being able to stop cells dying all together is quite easy and I really don't need to get into it after explaining reapers weird lore on his abilities.
more examples include the voice line with ana and mercy where mercy says there are procedures to *fix* your eye, not replace but fix and of course the fact the genji isn't dead is another great example.
Mercy helped genji
Overwatch weaponized genji
Zenyatta made genji.
Mctavish Alexander well if you say so
Mctavish Alexander It's quite the cycle
Mercy saved his life
Overwatch saved his body
Zenyatta saved his soul
Proto Craft yas
BULL SHIT I remember that line setting off so many times and my friends and I joking about it, for example. reaper: you knew exactly what you were doing........you made me into a goddamn beyblade. mercy: let it rip. reaper: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH. that's the one I remember the most.
+Johnathan King so many people say this! Please, find me a video or Something with it :) I'm not saying you or everyone are wrong, just trying to find proof either way :)
another detail that debunks the "mercy created reaper" theory is the fact that mercy asks reaper "what happened to you?" (not in a sad way either, just very confused) and reaper responds with "you tell me, doc"
and, while I do agree it may seem like proof, it's really not. if it was, why would mercy be confused? would she ask what happened if she knew? if she made him that way?
but then, why would reaper respond in the way he did?
well, I think it was just him being sassy. notice the "doc", meaning "you're the doctor, you tell me".
Mino Yamamoto When mercy uses her Ult on a dead reaper, after being resurrected he says "At least you got it right this time"
Sadly, that one is also not in game right now.
MrMosbyOfficial VEVO Never heard it... and play mercy a lot,(then again, ive never heard any of those"you ressurrected me" lines) though i really would love to hear that in game
maybe she was pretending to be confused to not seem guilty. oh well myths
There is still a voice line where Mercy asks what happened to Reaper and he respondes with, "You tell me doc." While it's not solid evidence it feels like Blizzard it pointing at it. Also having Mercy stationed at the station that Reaper supposedly became Reaper seems like a lucky coincidence. Mercy seeing her old friend struggling for life and she believed that she could save not only his life but morals. But without any of the technology that Genji had he became Reaper. Also when Mercy resurrects Reaper he says, "At least you got it right this time."
"At least you got it right this time." is also not in game, I have checked all Reaper voice lines.
dragoninnight Do you mean the active random voice lines, or the loot box voice lines?
i would not say reaper is a reliable source. he seems to enjoy making people feel guilty
Almost at 100,000 subs. Well done man, doing a great job with the channel. Good to see it grow, you deserve it.
+franklin clinton thanks Franklin! All thanks to you and everyone's support! Chuffed to have got this far, so here's hoping for a great 2017 for us all ^^
ftuqfranklin clinton
I thought the evil thing was that she was a double agent for Talon?
This makes me so happy. Another full video about my main! Yay :D I will say, Mercy's bio states she is Head of Surgery so she may not have developed Genji's cybernetic enhancements but she may have been involved in the installation. It may have been that her morality would not allow her to lose a life that she could save and she was the best person for the job. There is a voice line (I believe it's still in the game) where Mercy asks Reaper, 'What happened to you?!' Reaper replying, 'You tell me, doc.' That may imply that she had some involvement in his becoming a bad-ass death machine, or it could be taken the other way and he may be sarcastically implying that, as such a renowned doctor, she should be able to figured it out but can't. Kinda passive aggressive and scathing all in one.
I just think Mercy is awesome, either way :D
I like the idea for the series Hammeh! But I have a suggestion. It isn't exactly a "fun" series if you're mythbusting a lot of people's theories. While I do think that should be an integral part of the series, I think you should also entertain and provide evidence for certain credible theories as opposed to focusing on what contradicts them. Mercy making Reaper for example, there is a lot of support behind it. I think this series would be more fun if I may hear about a new well supported Overwatch theory instead of hearing how they're all wrong
+ConnorEatsPants cool, thanks for feedback! I can perhaps find another name for it and try it this way too :)
Awesome, thanks Hammeh! Love the channel!
Mercy:Genji I got you some chocolates,Swiss there the best
Genji:I NEED HEALING
you should have mentioned the line:
Mercy: "what happened to you"
Reaper: "you tel me doc"
For #3 the bad things and evil stuff....that could be Moira
XD
The Mercy Reaper thing is also cause the actual voice line interaction where Mercy says "What happened to you?" And Reaper says "You tell me, Doc." But I'm pretty certain this is just Reaper saying "You're the Doctor, you should be able to know" not "You did it, so you should know"
+Nero Nyte I'd agree Personally, opinion wise! As for what happened to reaper, will be awesome to find out!
As for Genji, I guess my 'head canon' is that Mercy didn't take part in his cyberization, but she did monitor his health during the process, but again that's personal theory
I think I remember hearing the "Don't forget, you're the one responsible for this" line somewhere, but that might just be my shoddy memory
Idk did Mercy make Genji but she 100% did Genji xDDDDDDD
This is why I say that Michael Chu should make a comic about Genji to help explain what exactly happened to him before, during, and after his cybernetic implants. Perhaps this could help us confirmed what exactly Mercy had to intervene Genji from in order to save his life. But I do think that since she was the head medical officer of OW she was probably the one who healed his wounds post fight with Hanzo and helped him to adapt to his cybernetics. That would help to explain as to why the two seem to have a close relationship with each other.
I very distinctly recall hearing the line "at lest you got it right This time" when reaper gets rezed by mercy.
I've always assumed that it was Talon that made Reaper. Angela couldn't have been the only one in the entire world looking into ways to further advance medicine. I think Talon found Gabriel, took him, made Reaper, and kinda brainwashed him. And that it didn't take much brainwashing due to his grudge with Jack. But that's only more theory and speculation. But the "You tell me, doc" line is also kind of subjective. Some see it as him blaming her. I see it as "You're the genius doctor, you tell me"
Well, it's pretty canon that tbe tecnology that makes people respawn is existent by quotes from Winston and Mercy ("The wonders of modern medicine!") So I'd say it's pretty safe to assume that Mercy's ultimate is a portable version of that.
ArgetKnight and also sometimes Widow respawns and she almost sounds surprised when she says "ah, here I am."
It's still pretty probable that mercy had something to do with reaper, since his body is constantly regenerating and destroying itself and mercy kinda pointed that out when talking about anas biotic gun
which leads me to believe that her tech was atleast used in the process,not saying that it was mercy herself, but maybe people from overwatch used her tech and it didn't work as planned on thefirst try( gabriel) but the second try worked?(jack) probably not but maybeeeeeee
Well, Mercy isn't evil, but we do have an evil Mercy now, named Moira.
Love the smell of Hammeh video in the morning. (btw its 22:40 in Czech Republic)
+Slim Adam but it's an Apocalypse Now reference. So it's good any time! :)
that one about "you're the one responsible for this" triggers when mercy is on the same team as mercy.
I'm working on my own Overwatch hero. Quintessence. He's a hero hailing from Israel. He's around Tracer's age, and has been a friend of her and Winston ever since the academy. He has always considered the clothing of his teammates the first, and if not, the only line of defense. This plus his time behind a sewing machine during his pre-teen years makes him and expert and form and function. He has been considered Torbjorn's brightest pupil in the realm of armor. After Overwatch was disbanded, he spent those years providing for his sister Emily's college tuition by opening up a fashion line. He always said that if he didn't become an armor expert, he would go into making fashionable yet durable attire for refugees. Winston completely forgot about him, and would love a chance to catch up with another old friend. Quintessence could share Mercy's vision for peace, but by providing defense for those in the crossfire. Tell me what you think, Hammeh.
nice concept, be cool to see you add more to it
Matthew Sadlier this isn't tumblr
Matthew Sadlier What the fuck
How about a duster that turns into a wingpack, and wind gauntlets similar to Tracer's that can push Roadhog back thirty feet? His Ultimate lets him create a tornado that ends after ten seconds. After that, he gets into a five second dizzy state. His overall outfit is an ivory duster with an Overwatch symbol as the clipping section, but part is colored black, military graded jeans, boots, and tactical aviator shades. There's one dialogue section where he offers Widow his constructive criticism and tells her to wear a turtleneck next time she's in cold regions.
Matthew Sadlier thats fucking gay
I really hope we get to know more about Reaper's transformation in the future. And what he actually looks like under that mask - considering the look of horror on Ana's face after she demasked him it must be quite the sight if it manages to terrify a battle-hardened veteran like Ana Amari.
I've heard Reaper say "I don't know you tell me doc" but not Mercy's line.
I remember seeing text on the Overwatch Hero page about Reaper, way back in the closed beta, where it stated that his cells both regenerate and degenerate at a really quick pace, probably meaning that his cells regrow very quickly, but then break down quite easily, too. (Which I can imagine would allow him to do things like shadowstepping and using his Wraith Form) I THINK it also stated it was because of a failed experiment with (possibly) nanobiotics.
I'm unsure if that's still the case, and if that text still exists.
It says "It is possible that he is a byproduct of failed genetic alteration which forces his cells to simultaneously decay and regenerate at a hyper-accelerated rate." :)
You know what it also says in the official bio, even to this day?
"The Reaper is an extremely volatile mercenary, a ruthless and remorseless killer responsible for terrorist attacks across the world. He has fought in many armed conflicts *in the last decades*, showing no loyalty to any cause or organization."
I made the important bit bold. Almost nobody ever seems to mention this. People keep saying that Gabriel Reyes didn't become the Reaper until after the explosion of Swiss HQ six years ago.
So who has been wraithing around globe, killing people left and right? Either Gabriel has been keeping a very dark secret for a very long time, or there have been or still are other Reaper-like beings out there who do terrible things (which in turn would make Mercy's involvement even more unlikely, because she's only had this nanobiotic tech for so long).
Either that, or Blizz done goofed in the lore-department on this one.
Or, you know, retconned like a school boy caught in the cookie jar. Blizz doesn't seem to know their own damn lore.
When you tired af from not sleeping in a week and hallucinate into thinking the heroes are just people cosplaying
oh my god i am dying your voice when u say "MYTH NUMBER _"
Myth #1 was before Moria was released. We had voice lines to go off of and that was basically it.
I dont remember the start line, but I definitely remember Reaper saying «you knew exactly what you were doing» in-game.
I've always thought that Resurrect was restabalizing people on the brink of death, explaining the limited window you have to rez someone after they die.
I was expecting Pharmercy on the list x). Great video!
+Renan SM hah! I left ships off. They are all..whatever we want them to be until proven otherwise :)
Renan SM Oh god, please no lol
If Blizzard wants to put Mercy's resurrection in the official story they could just say that Mercy can only resurrect people when there souls are still there like in the game but once the soul is gone then Mercy can not resurrect that person
Could you try and crack down some Ilios mysteries? Out of all th maps in Overwatch, Ilios is the one with the least coverage lore wise. It would be very interesting if you could shed some light on the map lore or to theorize on it. love the vids man. keep going :D
I made it again to another awesome hammeh video! Yay. Im watching it now bro :) Left a like already because i know its gonna be good like always
+Sean Cajilog - Buchoy too kind Sean, hope you enjoy and do let me know your thoughts when you finish!
Hammeh - Overwatch (FailCraft) Hey. I really enjoyed the video. But im glad that she isnt evil because mercy is the best Angel. Anyways is there a place to read or see the backstory and lore of the heroes? I kind of dont understand some stuff and i want to get into it and i would like to learn more about the heroes. Thanks for making really awesome videos Hammeh :) Keep it up!
awesome video, you make every counter point I've always figured myself. its never explicitly said anywhere that Mercy did anything like what happened to Reaper and Genji, but if they did happen because of her she probably hates herself for it. she just wants peace and to help people :)
Just one thing. You are not resurected by a defibrillator as you are not dead simply because your heart has stopped. You are only dying at that point. Death is determined by the status of the brain, not the heart.
+Hans Müchler TIL! I blame medical dramas. Thanks Hans!
Television and film has done so much harm... Awesome video BTW!
My guess on who cyberized Genji would have to be Winston, the reason being that the exhaust rods on his suit in the dragons short look very similar to the exhaust rods on Winston and tracer's weapons both of which were made by Winston (I think). My reason for disregarding torbjorn as a candidate is that his tech generally looks a lot bulkier, his own arm is a claw rather then a hand like say mcree.
Those interactions lines may not have existed, but I have definitely heard mercy say "What happened to you Gabriel?" (Or something close to that)
And reaper replying "You tell me doc..."
Sometimes, when Reaper respawns, he mentions, "This is my curse..."
Clearly something happened to him, and he's actually incapable of death now-- or at least he isn't able to be dead for very long.
Perhaps mercys ultimate is an electrical surge that jumps tarts the heart back up and fixes machienes
Mercy's lore is a shook up, I honestly think they change things as it goes along and when someone questions why something happened they're like "Us??? Change the story???? Nahhhhh you crazy lmao"
My theory that Mercy has split personalities. Because of Omnic Crisis. Her second personality is Devil. She wants to kill everyone. And I think that she turned Reyes into Reaper (well, not exactly) and destroyed Overwatch (not only her).
Also I think that Liao is the main villain of Overwatch. Maybe she is the leader of The Eye.
Ever seen the movie "Diablo"?
Hey Hammeh do you think you could do a video on Mcree?
Reaper has a voice line when he is ressurected by Mercy, he can say "At least you got it right this time". That seems to be pretty strong evidence that Mercy was some way involved in Gabriel's resurrection. Also him blaming Jack more doesn't disprove Mercy being involved, he just doesn't really have any grudge against her. He blames Jack for his death in the first place, not Mercy for bringing him back.
Some of the main things ive seen supporting the Mercy/Mercy's tec was used to revive reaper was how both the 'souls' mercy sees when her team mates are dead and the 'souls' reaper sees when killing an enemy look very very similar, and how the fog thing reaper turns into (for ether his shift or E) also looks very similar to what people look like while being revived by mercy
And, if it was mercy's tec and if it was jack who rezed gabe using some unstable or unfinished verion of the tec behind mercy's suit. The overwatch team can very easily go for plot line where jack hurts gabe or gabe gets hurt because of their fighting, and in an effort to save him jack uses mercy's tec to save gabe, they think it didn't work, they leave, gabe wakes up later as a ball of edge and death
Hammeh! Great video as usual, I always look forward to the uploads! Not to add figurative fuel to the fire, but I have 100% without a doubt in my mind heard the interaction between Mercy and Reaper. (This is not what I intended/You knew exactly what you were doing). It was present in the console beta test as well as the open beta a week before the game was released. Not sure why they would ever try to say it did not exist, when so many people have clearly heard it.
Edit because I forgot to add this part in: I know this for certain because my friend (who is a Reaper player) and I would recite the lines as we would hear them and we'd have fun and speculate about it afterwards.
+Have Some Mercy Thanks for commenting and sharing Mercy! That's really interesting..so.many people say they remember it! I know that some are remembering wrong, as in various forum posts I've checked they state it was in game, when I know it wasn't. But, the console beta you say
..interesting. Trying to find the earliest possible mention of it still :)
2:08 snnowball is still on the back xD
Well there was a voice interaction with reaper and mercy where mercy says "What happened to you?" then reaper says "You tell me Doc" in a sarcastic tone of voice, maybe meaning that she might have done something to him in the past.
With genii I believe she kept him alive and brought him back from near death but over watch higher ups augmented him, and with reaper being as caring a character as she it would make sense she might have done something she's never done before to keep Reyes alive. Probably something along the lines of injecting special nanobots to keep him alive, but instead of bring him back they just leave him in a state of limbo, constantly regenerating and constantly deteriorating
if you check the games audio code. nearly every character had voice line updates. tracer even calls s76, dad in a voice line now
Wait....I thought that Reaper sometimes says "At least you got it right this time." when a friendly Mercy uses her alt and resurrects him. I'm pretty sure I've heard that before during matches.
I'd like to believe that Mercy's equipment was slowly being taken by talon turned overwatch people in the headquarters, and what had happened is that while talon had saved Reyes with her technology, they had no clue how to use it properly and so that is where the 'botched' ressurection came from, but maybe all Reaper knows is that it was something to do with her, rather then only to do with her technology only so it leads to that he blames her, even if she wasn't the one to do it?
I'm convinced that Mercy is the villain behind Reyes and Morrison fighting. There's too many ties between her and a shady link.
i like to think torb was responisble for makin ggenji cyborg, but his dragon is what kept him alive until mercy could get him fully recovered
I honestly never believed anyone of these myths
From what I know of reaper, managed to do something to him self were his cells started rapidly degenerating and mercy trying to save reaper got his cell regenerating as well getting him stuck in the losing and regenerating loop that gives him his abilities
i know this isn't related but should be noted reaper and mercy can both see souls, reaper has a smoke effect and mercy has a sparkle effect, reaper says die and mercy says heroes never die etc.
You always post in the middle of the night hameeeeh i need sleep xD
+Oskar9b sleep! You can watch the vid tomorrow :)
Looking at the "What happened to you" "You tell me, Doc" interaction, it's almost certain that Mercy didn't directly cause Reaper's condition, or, in the unlikely event that she did, she was not aware that she did. However, the fact that Reaper expects her to know something about his condition(though this may be a joke on his part) does sort of suggest that her technology or something like it was responsible for his condition. Maybe someone did try to weaponize it, and Gabriel found himself in the line of fire?
thats weird, im really really really i heard reaper saying in videos and in my own game :dont forget youre the one responsible for this.
btw, its unlikely that mercy would ever give genji shuriken hands, making his body a weapon, i think it was a mix between a few scientists, torbjörn and mercy, mercy keeping him alive, torb designing his weapon systems and other people doing other stuff
in response to number 2 it is possible the mercy built the basic life support suit for Genji, and he and/or overwatch built/bought the weaponized peices elsewhere
I got resurrected once as Reaper, and he says, "At least you got it right this time." Could be wrong, but I'm not sure.
Theres a voice interaction that goes
M: What happened to you
R: You tell me, Doc
Great video, Hammeh! Wow, I am early O.o
+Zach Nightingale thanks Zach! Do let me know how it was when you're done! :)
I *still* think Mercy is evil [Insert Fry's not sure if face here]
I think Mercy may have something to do with Reyes resurrection. I feel Blizzard hinted that to be Canon during Halloween event, Mercy was a witch who brought back her dead servant. Why chose Reaper and Mercy specifically?
I think theres a whole speculation with how when you rez there is the orbs or souls and reaper uses these orbs to heal himself i forgot what it was about but it seemed pretty convincing
I personally really like the idea of her resurrection-ability being canon. It would *sort of* make sense for it to be this nano-thing where she instantly heals people's injuries, and kickstarts their system. I mean, scientifically it makes sense. if you could heal injuries that quickly, and then kickstart someone's heart, you could definitely bring them back to the state they were in just prior to dying. And she does have a pretty tight time limit on it. It might be extremely rare for her to use it, or maybe it's one of those "Drains all of her power!"-situations, but it could be canon.
With that in mind, I love the idea that a primitive version of it was used to create Reaper. That he died, and that maybe it was used too late. "Do no harm", and perhaps a canon unwillingness to use it, makes perfect sense if Reaper was the result of it going wrong. I.E. it being used once his tissue had begun to die, and now he's permanently sustained by the nano-tech.
I think that would make perfect sense. Just like how resurrecting people is a common mechanic in Warcraft's gameplay, but actually extremely difficult to do in Warcraft canon. Blizzard are using a lot of the same story-elements across multiple games.
Great video Hammeh! Really enjoyed it!
I'd actually like to find out of there's more lore between Mercy and Mccree, considering they are the same age and presumably joined overwatch around the same time (mercy being a member of the normal overwatch and then mccree of course being recruited to Blackwatch under Reyes). They are perfect foils for each other , and personally I'd love to learn more about their shared history. I think it would be pretty interesting.
Was not expecting that floyd reference at 1:00 👌
Could you imagine an Overwatch story mode?
It whould be fun if you make a video were you talk about the character if they are capable to fight in hand to hand fight and why.
Mercy's Valkyrie Suit may have "above all, do no harm" on it, but she also carries a sidearm which, as I just tested, does the same damage as a shot of Soldier: 76's HPR (now THAT is what I call hypocritical).
But, I think she worked with Torbjörn as well as several other scientists on the cyberization of Genji. Most likely, she helped integrate the mechanical parts with his human body so they wouldn't be rejected, but was kept in the dale about his later weaponization because Overwatch new she wouldn't help if they told her.
And one more thing, you did forget to mention a voice-interaction I have heard between the two, Mercy asks: "What happened to you, Gabriel?"
He responds: "You tell me, Doc." It's a take on the rumored interaction, I guess, but I felt it was worth mentioning that this one made it into the game.
There should be a young Mcree skin like Genji and Hanzo.
People tend to use one of the voice interactions Mercy has with Reaper as a prompt for the idea that she's evil/the reason he's the way he is now. Mercy asks what happened to him, and Reaper replies "you tell me".
It's actually pretty decent evidence of her possibly doing something that caused his current state.
But I'd lean more to the idea that her technology was used to do it, and that's what Reaper is hinting at. Mercy didn't directly do it to him, but he still blames her to a certain degree.
What about the line "Gabriel what happened to you?
You tell me doc" is that a real line?
+45Thawk yup! That is! Should have mentioned it, but covered it in reaper voicelines. That of course can be read Either way, if people want, I'd say it's Mercy showing concern and reaper being sarcastic, rather than anything deeper..but that's personal interpretation :)
I really believe the sarcasm idea on this, he seems to serious normally to call her "Doc"
I think Mercy's nanobiotechnology was responsible for his state. the SWISS HQ exploded and Reyes died in it. Maybe some things in her research lab mixed with his body during the explosion. Similar to nanoboost and ana's healing equipment being from Mercy's technology, it could have prevented Reyes' body from dying, but since it wasn't a proper controlled procedure, he's in a limbo state of life and death
Just one thing here Hammeh, while that line you qutoed isn't in the game there is still grounds for speculation that Mercy did something to Reyes unintentionally.
"What happened to you?"
"You tell me Doc!"
While not as concrete it does open up a few doors into the grounds that, yes Mercy fucked up somehow in trying to heal Reyes, perhaps in the first attempt in a variant of the rezzurection (and when I say rez I mean the in lore variation, it's like Rezzing in Warcraft, we know it can happen but it's much more rare then rezzing after the end of every single damn fight)
This hasn't turned me away from the mercy is evil theory at all lol
Rorik Savant she literally brings people up from the dead. I could see her evil. But I did used to main hee
Jeff Kappalan has said that Mercy, Tracer, and Genji all have something not quite right going on with their aging, and, that Genji's aging is probably because of the same reason Mercy isn't again correctly, because she had to do with him being 'resurrected'.
i think mercy save genji from death and liao made the cyborg part, since s-he looks like an robotic/omnic expert, at least in the art
can't wait for you to do one on Sombra
Yea, I'm sick of "Sombra is Alehandra because they're both from Mexico"
+The Potato Lord when i saw the title for that theory, all i could think was "are you really going to stoop so low?"
Love your channel Hammeh, keep the good work. And why does mercy regen her health
it would be cool to make more of this myth busting thing :)
