Overwatch short story lore and more incoming! What do you think of this video - would you like to see more Marvel Rivals? Let me know your thoughts below - channel update video incoming in next day or so, a lot of content coming the next few weeks so will explain the plans! :) --Hammeh
Reminds me of that scene from X-Men 3 where Rogue, the skin contact vampire, is exited for a mutant cure and Storm, the flying weather goddess, says “there’s nothing wrong with us”
You beat me to it. This is _exactly_ what went through my mind when I watched Hammeh's video and got to her "1%" line. Storm's hypocrisy is palpable. She was born with Omega-level mutant powers, had to do nothing "worthy" to earn them, and her powers have zero downsides. As a girl she went and got herself worshipped as a "goddess" by people in her African village. And on top of that she is stunningly beautiful, unlike poor sods like Nightcrawler, the Morlocks or Toad who have visible mutations they can't hide. It's even more hypocritical if you consider that MCU Loki (who the game's Loki is based on, if we look at his interactions with the Hulk) isn't even a full Asgardian, but only half-Asgardian on his mother's side and half Frost Giant on his father's side, with Frost Giants being the ancient reviled enemy of Asgar, and Thor slaying Frost Giants willynilly. So don't tell me how much you are being "discriminated against", Storm, when Loki has been the kicking boy all his life while everyone heaped praise on "golden boy" Thor. Maybe I'm biased because of all the x-Men I could never stand Storm because of her arrogance (and Cyclops because of his puerile obsession with wanting to be the leader). I don't think Storm has ever given two sh*ts about the Morlocks? I gu7ess he doesn't bother with the poor, the ugly and smelly? But the animated show _X-Men: Evolution_ made me outright hate Storm, right during the 1st episode, when she looked down on (literally, she was flying) and abused poor teenage orphan boy Toad (pre-Brotherhood of Mutants) and treated him like an animal, using lightning bolts to scare him and force him to run to where she wanted. Geez.
@@TF2CrunchyFrog storms power do infact have downsides to them such as all mutant powers do, Since her power is directed from her will and mind there also tied to her emotions, so if she loses her control shit hits the fan for everything on earth, and how jean ans charles are constantly hearing the buzzing thoughts of others, ororo can feel that but for The sky and earth 2, Ororo did not just live a life of leisure and praise, the rise of racial attacks her parents faced forced them to move back to Kenya where they would tragically be killed, by a war bird crashing into there home, this not only made her an orphan but riddled her with claustrophobia, she then spent years being a street urchin and under the thumb of a powerful telepathic being before leaving to her home land, and being revered as divine and she infact has on numerous occasion proved worthy for her power And as for the Toad thing, the boy wasn't innocent if im not mistaken he had already been living a life of a degenerate, though he was offered and given choice to change his ways he didn't, ororo was acting on behalf of the professor, for toad was trespassing, Logan would have done more then scare the boy
Yes - a leaker speculated that Krakoa could well be a future level! The mutants seem to mention it a few times from what I've heard in-game, including Magneto a chunk...fair bet it'll show up!
Cheers Milkman! Let me know what you think, a little rough around the edges this one, but wanted to try something new. Overwatch will always be here and have a lot more content to come on it, so never fear there, for anyone wondering!
I like them honestly! They avoid 'Marvel at home' which can be a danger in some Marvel licensed games. That said, I think Marvel has given them quite a lot of license in art style AND voice-over direction to step closer to the MCU depictions. What's your favourite design? :)
Something about you covering this game takes me back to the old days of OW1. Feels prophetic. Like the good old days are back. Maybe you haven't been gone that long and I just haven't been paying attention, but welcome back, Hammeh! I certainly missed you! More Marvel Rivals, please!
Cheers for popping through Renato! Not just you, I've been in and out a bit the last year or two. Getting back to it more regularly again I think! Let's see how the game goes, fun so far!
@@Hammeh Well, I'm glad you're finding your groove again! I can't wait to see more! Side-Note: I particularly like the Gandalf call-out from Loki calling Strange a conjurer of "cheap tricks".
Cheers Krounos! I'll see how it goes but enjoy the game, so will mix this in with Overwatch for a bit, for fun and see how they go down too. Not fully moving over but certainly adding to and trying some new things!
She's super fun I think! Area denial very strong and she has some movement tech. However, feel she's on the weaker or more situational side of tanks at the moment. Only on some Tokyo points or domination type maps some points does Peni feel a pick, and even then Groot is so strong or maybe better. Enjoy her though and she has fun lines! :)
Hey Hammeh, fun stuff. Your video gave me early Overwatch vibe. Just curious if there is any PVE indication at all in this game? Other than that, I will keep my eye on your vids. Have a good one!
@@Hammeh all good. Having fun with the game? Im playing mostly vs ai in OW2, but am on Twitch a whole lot, seeing people playing (mostly retro). Do you got any account there? While working or playing?
Haha glad to hear! Let me know what you think of the game and what you'd like to see. Will play with these for a few weeks for sure, guessing the next beta or testing will be a while away!
Looking forward to Thor, Black Panther, Scarlet Witch,and Spidey voice lines for sure! I think that the game play mimics OW but makes it its own with the 3rd person and Marvel takes
Too kind Vingu! Going to have a little play with other lore, games and worlds while continuing Overwatch, see how we all feel :) Looking forward to Rivals?
I enjoy it so far! As for the comp side, we will see. It needs some performance polish there I think, plus it's all US servers so might be a ping thing. Super fun casual games so far :)
Haha, glad! Let me know what you think of the game and the vid Rebecca! Thanks for stopping by, genuinely appreciate you and everyone who has and does :)
Sure, understand! Couple of points - I never signed anything for this, got key through a friend. So, anything I say isn't bound by any agreement. The developer also retracted and apologised for that clause the day after it was talked about. Will see how it goes, don't want to be gagged!
@@OhNoTheFace ?! People have complained for a long time about him being in every single game ever, and I wasn’t in that camp cause I actually used to enjoy him as a VA. But now I too feel like he’s omnipresent.
@@MBhatesYT I thought that was Nolan North, who is even more "in everything". Troy Baker being busy with Marvel Rivals (and various other games) explains by he hasn't been voicing Agent John Jones in Fortnite since the end of Chapter 4 Season 2, and while the character technically still was important in Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 Season 1, it feels like EpicGames is writing Agent Jones out the same way they got rid of the Seven (the Foundation, the Scientist, the Paradigm etc) and Geno after Donald Mustard left & they got a former Marvel guy as new Creative Director. At least they brought back Midas and his daughter and his former agents... for a 3 week mini story event, but gave him no voicelines in the trailer and missed the opportunity to have Midas and Jones meet again after all this time. Then Midas left for places unknown so Epic could bring in the first collab (sigh).

"So you didn't earn it, Mr. 1%" That's incredibly rich coming from Storm, the woman who won both the mutant & genetic lottery.
Hahaha true! It was still a good burn though!
Reminds me of that scene from X-Men 3 where Rogue, the skin contact vampire, is exited for a mutant cure and Storm, the flying weather goddess, says “there’s nothing wrong with us”
I know the game Storm isn’t the exact same as the comic, but I’ve seen natural-born gods more humble than Storm.

2, Ororo did not just live a life of leisure and praise, the rise of racial attacks her parents faced forced them to move back to Kenya where they would tragically be killed, by a war bird crashing into there home, this not only made her an orphan but riddled her with claustrophobia, she then spent years being a street urchin and under the thumb of a powerful telepathic being before leaving to her home land, and being revered as divine and she infact has on numerous occasion proved worthy for her power

Very interesting they mentioned Krakoa for Storm which is a big part of the comics, but the pronunciation of Namor shows he's a version of MCU Namor.
Yes - a leaker speculated that Krakoa could well be a future level! The mutants seem to mention it a few times from what I've heard in-game, including Magneto a chunk...fair bet it'll show up!
I think that’s the direction Marvel is trying to go with Namor moving forward, not just in the MCU
@@SnazzySazerac98Interesting that would explain some comic book changes.
I support your expansion hammeh
Cheers Milkman! Let me know what you think, a little rough around the edges this one, but wanted to try something new. Overwatch will always be here and have a lot more content to come on it, so never fear there, for anyone wondering!
Loved your overwatch interactions and now I'll love the Marvel Rival one's too
Cheers hades! Getting back to more lore stuff is the plan, and storytelling on all fronts :)
The character designs/art in this game are fantastic. Very much looking forward to it
I like them honestly! They avoid 'Marvel at home' which can be a danger in some Marvel licensed games. That said, I think Marvel has given them quite a lot of license in art style AND voice-over direction to step closer to the MCU depictions. What's your favourite design? :)
Game has some good dialog between characters, and even voice acting and this was just the alpha build!
Agree it is surprisingly narrative complete for an Alpha! How are you enjoying it so far?
Something about you covering this game takes me back to the old days of OW1. Feels prophetic. Like the good old days are back.
Maybe you haven't been gone that long and I just haven't been paying attention, but welcome back, Hammeh! I certainly missed you!
More Marvel Rivals, please!
Cheers for popping through Renato! Not just you, I've been in and out a bit the last year or two. Getting back to it more regularly again I think! Let's see how the game goes, fun so far!
@@Hammeh Well, I'm glad you're finding your groove again!
I can't wait to see more!
Side-Note: I particularly like the Gandalf call-out from Loki calling Strange a conjurer of "cheap tricks".
Get him Storm!!🤣 And im surprised Magik didn't give snarky responses
haha, magik gets a few snarky responses in other lines!
@@Hammeh yay I was about to say she is extremely snarky and sarcastic 🤣
Hammeh covering Marvel Rivals.
Really enjoying it cloud honestly! You in the alpha? How you finding it all, looking forward to it?
glad you're covering this! it has been such a blast and it's good the old overwatch guard is moving over.
Cheers Krounos! I'll see how it goes but enjoy the game, so will mix this in with Overwatch for a bit, for fun and see how they go down too. Not fully moving over but certainly adding to and trying some new things!
You have to Peni next, i don't see many people player her and i'm interested in listening to her quotes.
She's super fun I think! Area denial very strong and she has some movement tech. However, feel she's on the weaker or more situational side of tanks at the moment. Only on some Tokyo points or domination type maps some points does Peni feel a pick, and even then Groot is so strong or maybe better. Enjoy her though and she has fun lines! :)
@@Hammeh What's also cool about her is that i'm pretty sure that's Sally Amaki voicing her (same VA as Kiriko)
@@subnormal321 ooooooooh interesting...
Oh god, poor hammeh is going to have to do Marvel lore now? That's like 10,000 hours of video...minimum 😂
Well...I'm up for a challenge, and doing some other content was always the plan and exploring more worlds....what do you reckon :D
I saw hammeh and loki and got confused on why loki was in the thumbnail for the overwatch guy
Haha, fair! Mission - expand beyond The Overwatch Guy in 2024 ;)
Hey Hammeh, fun stuff. Your video gave me early Overwatch vibe. Just curious if there is any PVE indication at all in this game? Other than that, I will keep my eye on your vids. Have a good one!
Hey Enk! Hope all's good. No pve I've seen so far..
@@Hammeh all good. Having fun with the game? Im playing mostly vs ai in OW2, but am on Twitch a whole lot, seeing people playing (mostly retro). Do you got any account there? While working or playing?
"YOU STAY AWAY FROM ME!
What's his deal with Hulk... Oh right.
Avengers Assemble throwback :D
Now we talking! Right up my alley!
Haha glad to hear! Let me know what you think of the game and what you'd like to see. Will play with these for a few weeks for sure, guessing the next beta or testing will be a while away!
Looking forward to Thor, Black Panther, Scarlet Witch,and Spidey voice lines for sure! I think that the game play mimics OW but makes it its own with the 3rd person and Marvel takes
HAMMEH COVERING RIVALS??? 😩😩😩YOU’RE SPOILING US
Too kind Vingu! Going to have a little play with other lore, games and worlds while continuing Overwatch, see how we all feel :) Looking forward to Rivals?
@@Hammeh Definitely! It’s a must play for me!! :D
Definitely my favourite character in this game and all of marvel. Would've been awesome if tom hiddleston voiced him in this game
He's great! Expensive to get the mcu actors, I think, but enjoy all the performances so far :)
I love Overwatch, I'm rooting for this game too. Comepetition is great
It's ok to like multiple things 😁
Is it me or does Hela sound a lot like Asajj Ventress from clone wars?
I think it is her!!
Nika Futterman as Hela? Okay.
Ventress!
Yeah she voiced Hela in Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes.
Troy baker isn't it. And Liam O brian as Strange. Josh Keaton as Iron Man. Hela sounds like Asajj Ventress
Lol no one cares
Now i can't unhear ventress 😮😮
@@StrawHat-68 we have a cringe edgy gamer over here!
Definitely troy and Liam! Plus one to Ventress too..
Yeah, actually Troy is just Marvel's main Loki voice actor lmao,
He voices Loki in so many other medias.
Where is thor?
I think he'll come in future. Too iconic not to be!
Is Loki still Hal father?
Fair question, will need to listen to Hela for context to see if they address this!
@@Hammeh Okay.
But like, is the game good?
I enjoy it so far! As for the comp side, we will see. It needs some performance polish there I think, plus it's all US servers so might be a ping thing. Super fun casual games so far :)
I clicked so fast
Haha, glad! Let me know what you think of the game and the vid Rebecca! Thanks for stopping by, genuinely appreciate you and everyone who has and does :)
Man, you shouldn't be covering this game on principle because of the "non-disparagment clause".
Sure, understand! Couple of points - I never signed anything for this, got key through a friend. So, anything I say isn't bound by any agreement. The developer also retracted and apologised for that clause the day after it was talked about. Will see how it goes, don't want to be gagged!
At this point I can’t stand Troy Baker’s voice anymore.
People care, I promise
He is around a lot! Fun here though :)
@@OhNoTheFace ?! People have complained for a long time about him being in every single game ever, and I wasn’t in that camp cause I actually used to enjoy him as a VA. But now I too feel like he’s omnipresent.
