jack morrison: uses a tactical visor that gives him perfect accuracy ana amari: one of the world’s deadliest, most elite snipers, with superior marksmanship and a cybernetic eye widowmaker: a good enough marksman to defeat ana in a sniper duel jesse mccree: a deadeye with perfect aim gabriel reyes: spins around really fast firing shotguns one-handedly and tells you to fuck off
depict hanzo as the smart one and mccree as ignorant all you want, but just know that mccree was literally renowned in deadlock when he was at least 17 years old for just how incredible his resourcefulness and marksmanship were. meanwhile hanzo fights a guy who sounds like his brother, knows about his past with his brother, calls him by his first name upon first meeting (something that’s reserved for people who are close to you in japan), continuously brings up his brother’s murder, fights with a sword like his brother, and controls the dragons. yet when he says “brother” hanzo’s just “????!!??!?!?! MY BROTHER IS DEAD!!!”
like, it suddenly seems far too clear why mccree’s ult is one that requires careful positioning, a stealthy cover, and precise timing, while hanzo’s ult is basically just throwing his massive dragons at you and obliterating everything. it’s like the equivalent of those weird lazer collection videos from 2007. that’s it that’s hanzo’s ult
mccree’s eliminations are generally pretty easygoing. light teasing, nothing extreme. just junk like “you gotta work on that aim”. meanwhile hanzo’s just.
“Hardly a challenge. Is that the best you can do? So predictable. Target practice. Unworthy. Weakling!”
I’M FUCKIGN SCREAMING I’M GOING TO SUPLEX HIM INTO LAVA
McCree is the guy who pretends to be easy going and foolish because no use sweating the small stuff but is always five minutes away from getting scary lethal at the drop of a hat, because he’s always thinking, this is why Gabriel Reyes hired him because a fool is useless in covert ops, a smart man who wears the guise of a fool like a second skin is a gift.
Hanzo is the guy who pretends to have his shit together and be calm and composed but is five minutes from shouting “FUCK IT” at all times.
McCree: I’m going to take out this team with pinpoint accuracy and try to act cool doing it.
hanzo and junkrat are both trans but theyre on the opposite ends of the *cis doctor voice* spectrum where hanzo is really anal and meticulous about his presentation and he spends 40+ hours at the gym, Sculpting his physique, hes spent 25 years trimming his beard to perfection and hes just like, Unrealistic Expectations For Men, whereas junkrat passes solely because of how dirty he is
matt mercer said these things so far. he said that if mchanzo were ever to be canon, they would be a “charming” and “cute” domestic like couple, who live in an apartment together and go to drink starbucks, and fight over decor for their house. basically a mutual incredibly cheesy married couple.
you know whats bad? that people dont WANT matt mercers version (the literal canon verison) of the ship. people dont want mccree and hanzo to be in a happy ending disney ending that live together and go out to eat and love each other.
what people want? htf. they want a spicy latino lover mccree whos dumb and stupid and an overly abusive tsun hanzo. thats not correct. thats disgusting and matt mercer effectively without knowing made the gross fandom show its true colors : they dont want two moc to be in love, they only want their gross fantasies.
im reading htf. im taking screenshots. sometimes i read one chapter more than once to understand it. two times hanzo has screamed at mccree. hes insulted his intelligence, ignored genji, and basically been an ooc dick. mccree gets such shit treatment. its nothing like what their relationship would actually be. Mccree has a mental breakdown twice, a flown blown panic attack because seeing gunshots and blood triggered gun shots of ANA AND GABRIEL, his two apparent mentors. and hanzo gets mad at him? why? its just a bad fic and im disappointed in the fact its so popular.
htf is that One fandom favorite fic because it’s got
relationship strife and stress painted to look like exciting passion
unnecessarily Grimdark Edge plot and setting
random neurodivergence that only exists to give some occasional light fluff
one handjob in every chapter
like it’s a fic that literally leads mccree to feel used and misled by hanzo but its been proven time and time again that thats what people like
