Not enough people talk about how his first reaction to seeing someone with a cowboy hat was "oh shit, I time travelled, I gotta go meet one of my dead heroes"
Even when he just got to OW1 and his kit was evidently busted, I never saw anyone actually hating on him. Even when he was a key part of the horrible days of double shield meta, people prefer to hate on Orisa or Brig (in both cases rightfully so too).
One moment he’s a grandpa, the next moment he’s screaming torturously or making melodramatic references about a person after he kills them. Gotta love him
I love how quickly he goes from “Old man who just likes his science” to “DEATH HAS TRAVELLED LIGHTYEARS TO TAKE YOU”. Definitely my favorite character. Easily has the best origin story if you ask me.
I've gotten that one too, cracked me up the first time i heard it xD i believe it's triggered by shutting down an ult! He has another one for that scenario too where he goes "Ultimately, a rock." This man has got a great sense of humor in my opinion haha
That moment when you realize Sombra knows everything about everyone, but Sigma knows the MOST about Sombra... Think about that hidden potential of a plot twist.
@@presseagainidareyou4704 he's the only pure heart person in talon, and he has no interest in using her moria doom and others want to get information using her
Time gravitation tachions interaction with brains quantum loop is mess beyond any sombra data processing analysis. Thats why she bond with him. He is real psyonic.
@@dimitrijestanisic3478 she seems to have a soft spot for Rein too, the interaction where his phone won’t work she tries to help him a little bit, which is so cute
Sigma's brain is like a 'information gold mine'. If his brain is fried, there will be nothing left and Sombra wouldn't like that since she thinks information is power.
Okay... okay Junkrat knowing what Zeno's Paradox is makes me really want to dig into how smart he actually is versus how damaged his brain is from the radiation.
Well he’s good with chemicals and explosives and he does come up with heists for him and Roadhog, which most, if not all, have been successful. So he is really smart just crazy
I heard a theory that he was actually an very intelligent man before the crisis and the radiation just completely fried his brain since he has a special treasure that is important to the lore.
FR LIKE?? it's funny how casually he mentions it like "oh yeah your god! Yea we've met before lol" but in all seriousness, it is said that the Iris can only be reached by omnics who reach an ascension of some sort. It's definitely worrying the fact he has not only seen it, but also claims to have MET it. Maybe they've even talked for a brief moment? Maybe even if they did it's too much going on in his mind to truly remember what was said. This is such a interesting interaction i hope they expand on this part of his story so bad
@@buttercake-3215 I wouldn’t take his statement seriously given his fractured mind he clearly hallucinates a lot. Even Zenyatta was like “rightttttt okey good for you”
@@alexbolt5 fair enough! however what i take from Zen's tone he seems more concerned rather than just dismissive, kind of a "im happy for you.? I guess?" Could be wrong but i just find it more interesting to think about ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah but the Iris once was an omnic named Aurora. She was first omnic who got the right to be considered as a person and walk freely so she traveled a lot. Some time passed and after years of her journey and experiences she ascended and somehow gave omnics a gift of self-consciousness (this event often called "awakening" between omnics). Perhaps Sigma met her before the ascension and referring for that. But I like your version better
I mean. In one of echo’s teasers it’s revealed that some omnics that went to look for the iris (the meaning of life) “heard the music” so it could be that sigma actually met the iris but is too broken to understand it’s significance
5:25 Poor guy, he has such a kind respectful soul. You know he was nothing but a happy and caring gentleman before being turned into a weapon thanks to his very own dream.
When he respawns and says “back from the brink once more” really sticks with me for some reason. Like the “brink” being the farthest he can push his mind into insanity and come back from. Incredible how overwatch of all things made such a fascinating character
Agreed! That line sticks out to me a lot, he also sounds so tired while saying it.. it's definitely not the first time this has happened and it takes a heavy toll on him everytime it seems.
I love that when he gets nano'd he yells "Release me!". Makes me think that he manages to slightly break free or just know he's being controlled when powered up
His interaction with Lucio and Sombra makes me feel there's still a little bit of him in there. I also like how everyone respects him and still calls him Doctor or Doc.
I mean hes still in there but hes not getting the proper treatment. Talon would rather keep him in a delusional and manic state to easier control him and exploit his powers. If he was ever rescued he most likely would recover fully but that would also make him extremely dangerous as his mind would no longer be holding him back.
Sigma's interaction when he kills moira and doomfist are dutch proverbs. Hoge bomen vangen veel wind (High trees catch a lot of wind) means that people in charge usually get the blunt of negative reactions. Since this is what he says when he kills DF, aka the leader of talon, it makes sense. Schoenmaker blijf bij je leest (Cobbler keep to your last) Leest is a dutch word for the platform on which you make shoes. The english word for this is last. Basically it means that experts in a certain expertise must not intrude discussions into areas in which they have no expertise. I guess that makes sense since he says it after he kills moira, implying that she is a good scientist, but not a soldier maybe.
The Widow and Sigma voice line makes me happy. He asks if she’d like to go with him, she declines, and he respects it and doesn’t press further. And the fact that Widow was actually courteous about her declination? And Sigma didn’t press? I love it.
For all we know they might have known eachother, if only in passing, before Widow got brainwashed and he had his accident. that or she may just know that he has no ulterior motive and the best way to keep the guy at ease and not violently tearing everything to shreds is politeness.
I honestly wonder what Talon’s actually doing to Sigma, because for SOMBRA, whose ENTIRE THING is manipulation to say “actually fuck that this guy doesn’t deserve it” makes me wonder Sombra’s not above much, but whatever’s going on with Sigma is apparently crossing even her line. Also their interactions are just adorable and I love them
Probably sees him as sick and broken. Manipulating someone who understands what is going on is one thing, potentially even a fun and deserved thing. Manipulating someone who's grasp of reality is ...threadbare at best? Sigma gives off the same vibes my grandmother did when dimentia started hitting her hard.
The sigma/sombra relation is pretty interesting, considering that of all people she's ever met Sigma has no discernable ulterior motive. He really is a tragic confused old man surrounded by people who see him as an attack dog. Sombra wants to protect one of the only "innocent" people she knows and that's really sweet.
I adore his interactions with Winston. I was actually surprised he knew Doctor Winston. And actually was on the colony sometimes. It gives him a sort of connection with Winston. And makes me want him to be free even more
@@guilhermefarias5255 The experiment happened on the ISS, Dr Winston is implied to have been killed when the rest of the apes on Horizon rebelled. He only mentions having visited the lunar colony.
@@guilhermefarias5255Just came across this, but it was the rebellion of the other genetically altered gorillas on Horizon that killed Dr. Winston. All of the remaining scientists were pushed through an airlock into space. Winston didn't agree with them and escaped in an escape pod around the same time.
I really love how they managed to represent his insanity by giving him multiples personnalites in the voicelines. It's like you have plain old friendly Sigma talking with everyone, the Scientist Dr Dekuiper talking with Moira or others, still shocked by his latest experiments ("How can someone focus while viewing the infinite universe"), then there's the Sigma that fears the things he can hear in his head and asks for louder music, the oblivious one and easily distracted and finally there's the cold Sigma with the eliminations voicelines
Sombre came from nothing. She views what Talon does as knocking down the edifices and pretense of those that have ignored the downtrodden. I suspect at some level she hates that Talon is abusing what is essentially a very sick man. Yet use Sigma they must, because otherwse he is a thing they must kill. Plus be kindto the man that is able to shit out black holes when his mind snaps.
No, Reaper was subject to experiments by talon. He holds hatred towards Moira for this reason. He even states “no more experiments” when eliminating Moira
I know that; It's just the fact that he says "No, thank you." in that specific tone instead of nearly lashing out like you'd expect him to. I found it funny is all.
in the interaction between Sigma and Winston at 5:48 , we get a confirmation that Dr. Harold Winston and Siebren we're great friends, and Siebren visited the Horizon lunar colony at one point. The way he says "He WAS a good friend" made me think he knew Harold was dead. However, as seen in 8:14 "ha! Give doctor Winston my regards" and 8:17 "your father WILL be proud!" Seems to indicate otherwise. All these hit me so bad, poor Siebren, does he truly know of the incident in the lunar colony and how his dear friend is gone? Whatever these indicate it still hurts...
I think it’s important to remember in the way of sigmas character, he truly has lost his mind. Which is why the universe is singing to him. So I think he goes in and out of reality and remembering events that happened. Which is why when he kills winton and goes “like father like son” he remembers Dr.Winston is dead. But when a friendly winton gets a kill he will say “your father will be proud” he doesn’t know what reality he is in most of the time.
@@gusquinzel8847 yea i thought something like that too! Time seems to be a bit clunky in his mind. I mean, based on his interaction with Cassidy at 0:37 , he seems to completely believe the fact that its the 1880's again and that he has chance to speak to Heirich Heartz. Interesting how casually he asks that to Cole too, maybe it emplies that he can see places in different times/dimensions even.
@@buttercake-3215 I'd say it's just that he's a very knowledgeable man and actually knows who he may find if he were somehow time traveling, which he seems to believe there
As a Sigma, Cassidy and Lucio main, I love that Sigma has amazing interactions with both Cassidy and Lucio. Now I just need a fun interaction between Cassidy and Lucio and my life will be complete.
Well i think you'll be happy to know that Cassidy has a line for getting an elimination with an assist from Sigma! I heard that one after using gravitic flux, and cassidy killed one of the enemies caught in it and said "I could get used to working with Gravity Man" it was so cool xD
His interaction with Lucio makes me really emotional because as someone with mental illness I use music a lot as therapy. It's extremely relatable and hits home for me.
I hope they explain why Sombra is so protective over Sigma. Maybe in the upcoming PVE missions? Though, my guess is that he reminds her an old Tata that helped the child Sombra. Who might got Dementia thus making his behaviors...similar to Sigma.
I think it's something along the lines of him being manipulated while essentially being extremely vulnerable. Given her background, I imagine she has a caring spot for the downtrodden and the vulnerable. When you looks at it, Sombra might be one of the more complicated characters in terms of lore.
@@KumaOso16 either that, or for her own personal interests, it’s probably good to have Sigma as youe ally, look at how she sabotaged the mission on Volskaya for her own benefit. Totally possible
@@KumaOso16 it is also very likely Sigma’s one of the very first kind people Sombra has ever met, and she realizes how genuine he is whilst being used like a garden tool
Sombra works with Talon, but she's always had her own agenda, & she's clearly just temporarily allied with them because it's convenient for her She's bad, but she's not evil, unlike her coworkers, so it's no surprise that she wants to help an obviously vulnerable old man who is currently being exploited by said evil coworkers
0:44 I like to imagine that Cassidy was being sarcastic because he thought Sigma was making fun out of his whole cowboy attire being outdated, only for him to realize after Sigma's response that he genuinely thinks Cass is some sort of time traveler.
Sigma: If I work security at a Samsung company, does that make me a guardian of the Galaxy? Sigma: Why is SpongeBob the main character and yet Patrick is the star? Sigma: Why is it called “taking a crap” if you are leaving it? Sigma: If you die in the living room, is it still called the living room? Sigma: If Jesus can walk on water, does that mean he can swim on land? Sigma: If money is the root of all evil, why do people ask for it in church? Sigma: Why don’t your lips touch when you say “touch” but they touch when you say “separate”? Sigma: Would Transformers have car insurance or life insurance? Moira: I’m so fucking done *Moira has left the game*
I love his interactions with Sombra and Zenyatta, but I also like the one nobody talks about, his interactions with Cassidy. I like that Cassidy seems to like him and is always nice to him. Also he'll also say "Not fast enough" when absorbing Tracer's pulse bomb.
For those who don't know, Xeno's Paradox (Sometimes spelled Zeno's), posits that travel between two points is impossible. Imagine that you have point A and point B, and you want to go from one to the other. The paradox claims this is impossible because to reach a point, you must constantly reach the midpoint of those points. But before you reach the midpoint of A and B, you must reach the midpoint for the midpoint, and the midpoint of both of those, and the midpoint of those, and down and down for infinity. The Paradox comes from how in a mathematical void, the paradox makes mathematical sense, but in practice it is nonsense. The Paradox posits that travel is impossible, but we travel all the time, meaning it must be possible. So how is it possible to travel when you should never be able to reach anywhere beyond the endlessly small midpoints between points? The reason this all matters to Sigma is because finding the answer to this would mean travel becomes truly possible, not only possible in a metaphorical sense. As Sigma mentions in his origin video, freedom and imprisonment are both illusions that only exist because of the harness of gravity in a three-dimensional space. Take that away, and hypothetically you should be completely unbound by the universe. Sigma both knows this and has gotten a glimpse behind the curtain at what it would be like to be truly unharnessed. But his harnessing of the harness is not the same as being unharnessed. He is still bound to the universe’s laws, despite being the first person to see past the limits of the universe. Anyway, just thought it was interesting how Junkrat was the person who brought it up. Kinda implies a more learned past than he tends to let on, and a depth of character that he usually avoids showing. Something worth talking about there!
Idk why I like his voice lines with Cass. The way he calls him, "big man." Makes me chuckle ALSO SOLDIER 76 TRYING TO HIGH FIVE HIM AND GET HIM WITH THE TWO SLOW IS REALLY FUNNY.
Oh nice! I was just wondering if you'd do an updated version for him. Thank you! Plus, i had never heard some of these and the "up top!" "Hm? Up where?" Between him and soldier:76 ( 3:21 ) made me laugh, reminded me of the "based? Based on what?" Joke xD
The first time I heard the quote with Zarya at 6:20 I laughed. Idk it’s one of my top favorite voice interactions in the game and I’m surprised more ppl haven’t mentioned it 😂
7:46 “schoenmaker blijf bij je leest” is “shoemaker stick to your last” which means do not criticise matters outside your field of expertise; mind your own business
I really feel bad for Sigma, at first i thought he was evil because he was in Talon but when i knew that he’s not workin for them and he’s lost his mind... it made me so sad especially knowing how they’re using him, especially Moira, but his interactions with Sombra is my favorite, since she’s in Talon mostly for herself and she knows when someone is being used and manipulated.
I love sigma I am so glad that he is actually interesting since I am Dutch,in the other few games where there is a Dutch character there is usually nothing special about them
5:16 Sigma must be reffering to the music bit because in general relativity the whole point is that gravity is not a force, but instead the curvuture (aka FORM) of the universe that dictates how inertial things move
Not enough people talk about how his first reaction to seeing someone with a cowboy hat was "oh shit, I time travelled, I gotta go meet one of my dead heroes"
Moira interact with others:"Time for something evil. Ehe." 😈

But when a friendly winton gets a kill he will say “your father will be proud” he doesn’t know what reality he is in most of the time.
@@gusquinzel8847 yea i thought something like that too! Time seems to be a bit clunky in his mind. I mean, based on his interaction with Cassidy at 0:37 , he seems to completely believe the fact that its the 1880's again and that he has chance to speak to Heirich Heartz. Interesting how casually he asks that to Cole too, maybe it emplies that he can see places in different times/dimensions even.

I'd say it's just that he's a very knowledgeable man and actually knows who he may find if he were somehow time traveling, which he seems to believe there
He literally says "like father like son" when eliminating winston im pretty sure he knows lmao
It's possible they had a falling out or something and that's why he said "was".
I actually love the "Big Sis" vibes Sombra has with him.
Also, straight up asks Widowmaker out on a date.
One you forgot to include was his nano boost voice line where he just yells "RELEASE ME" it gives me chills every time
As a Sigma, Cassidy and Lucio main, I love that Sigma has amazing interactions with both Cassidy and Lucio. Now I just need a fun interaction between Cassidy and Lucio and my life will be complete.
Well i think you'll be happy to know that Cassidy has a line for getting an elimination with an assist from Sigma! I heard that one after using gravitic flux, and cassidy killed one of the enemies caught in it and said "I could get used to working with Gravity Man" it was so cool xD
"You are insane" said Moira
"LOL" said Sigma "LMAO"
"Can a fish that never sees the surface know its underwater?"
Why do Sigma and Zenyatta have to be so deep with their voicelines?
His interaction with Lucio makes me really emotional because as someone with mental illness I use music a lot as therapy. It's extremely relatable and hits home for me.
It does help take the edge off. put something on and you can focus on what's going on instead of everything that is making noise.
I love the Soldier: 76 and Sigma interactions.
from the Soldier interactions, I get the feeling that Sigma actively...refuses to believe Talon is using him. Maybe a defense mechanism of some sorts?
Maybe it's hard for him to believe. Like one of those thjngs you refuse to believe because it would change too much.
If you have Cassidy and Sigma in one team, Cassidy says "I could get used to working with Gravity man"
He’s my favorite character, love him. Also has a sense of humor apparently. Everybody except sombra make fun of him for being insane, poor guy…
Soldier, Bap and Widow are either respectful or worried for his health while he's still in Talon. His life definitely still sucks though.
1:42 Sigma: **Hits Blunt**
It’s cute to see Sombra caring for Sigma.
Imagine being Zenyatta, your whole faith in the Iris, this God-like entity, all for some floating mental asylum patient to tell you he MET it.
I love sombra and sigmas dynamic, it’s like a brother and sister relationship
*grandaughter and grandpa
Reminds me a lot of Twice and Toga from my hero academia
@@polar6066 granddaughter and *senile* grandpa
siblings i know (including mine) definitely dont treat each other like that 😂
uncle and nephew
I hope they explain why Sombra is so protective over Sigma. Maybe in the upcoming PVE missions? Though, my guess is that he reminds her an old Tata that helped the child Sombra. Who might got Dementia thus making his behaviors...similar to Sigma.
I think it's something along the lines of him being manipulated while essentially being extremely vulnerable. Given her background, I imagine she has a caring spot for the downtrodden and the vulnerable. When you looks at it, Sombra might be one of the more complicated characters in terms of lore.
@@KumaOso16 either that, or for her own personal interests, it’s probably good to have Sigma as youe ally, look at how she sabotaged the mission on Volskaya for her own benefit. Totally possible
@@KumaOso16 it is also very likely Sigma’s one of the very first kind people Sombra has ever met, and she realizes how genuine he is whilst being used like a garden tool
Sombra works with Talon, but she's always had her own agenda, & she's clearly just temporarily allied with them because it's convenient for her
She's bad, but she's not evil, unlike her coworkers, so it's no surprise that she wants to help an obviously vulnerable old man who is currently being exploited by said evil coworkers
Pain
I love all the voice actors in this game but Sigma is waaaay above everyone else. His va is amazing
0:44
I like to imagine that Cassidy was being sarcastic because he thought Sigma was making fun out of his whole cowboy attire being outdated, only for him to realize after Sigma's response that he genuinely thinks Cass is some sort of time traveler.
8:48 One of the greatest Overwatch quotes of all time.
Sigma: If I work security at a Samsung company, does that make me a guardian of the Galaxy?
Sigma: Why is SpongeBob the main character and yet Patrick is the star?
Sigma: Why is it called “taking a crap” if you are leaving it?
Sigma: If you die in the living room, is it still called the living room?
Sigma: If Jesus can walk on water, does that mean he can swim on land?
Sigma: If money is the root of all evil, why do people ask for it in church?
Sigma: Why don’t your lips touch when you say “touch” but they touch when you say “separate”?
Sigma: Would Transformers have car insurance or life insurance?
Moira: I’m so fucking done
*Moira has left the game*
Sigma with the real life questions, lol
I love his interactions with Sombra and Zenyatta, but I also like the one nobody talks about, his interactions with Cassidy. I like that Cassidy seems to like him and is always nice to him.
Also he'll also say "Not fast enough" when absorbing Tracer's pulse bomb.
I remember killing Winston with an Accretion attack and the line “Like Father like Son” made my jaw drop
" IT THRILLS ME!"
The Soldier high five quote was definitely unexpected.
It seems unlike Jack to do that at all, least of all to someone he barely knows personally.
I like how Lucios music blocks out the voices and the music Sigma is always hearing in his head, pretty wholesome.
I hope Sigma goes through a similar journey as Symmetra where he slowly realizes that he’s a pawn and being manipulated by Talon
Sigma is a real one, ask Widowmaker on a date, gets declined, respectfully accept the decline like a gentleman
I love how Sombra worries and cares for him.
Sigma has a very serious face and expression, then you hear his voice lines
Like wha
“Like father like son” after killing winston is crazyyyy
For those who don't know, Xeno's Paradox (Sometimes spelled Zeno's), posits that travel between two points is impossible. Imagine that you have point A and point B, and you want to go from one to the other. The paradox claims this is impossible because to reach a point, you must constantly reach the midpoint of those points. But before you reach the midpoint of A and B, you must reach the midpoint for the midpoint, and the midpoint of both of those, and the midpoint of those, and down and down for infinity.
The Paradox comes from how in a mathematical void, the paradox makes mathematical sense, but in practice it is nonsense. The Paradox posits that travel is impossible, but we travel all the time, meaning it must be possible. So how is it possible to travel when you should never be able to reach anywhere beyond the endlessly small midpoints between points?
The reason this all matters to Sigma is because finding the answer to this would mean travel becomes truly possible, not only possible in a metaphorical sense. As Sigma mentions in his origin video, freedom and imprisonment are both illusions that only exist because of the harness of gravity in a three-dimensional space. Take that away, and hypothetically you should be completely unbound by the universe. Sigma both knows this and has gotten a glimpse behind the curtain at what it would be like to be truly unharnessed. But his harnessing of the harness is not the same as being unharnessed. He is still bound to the universe’s laws, despite being the first person to see past the limits of the universe.
Anyway, just thought it was interesting how Junkrat was the person who brought it up. Kinda implies a more learned past than he tends to let on, and a depth of character that he usually avoids showing. Something worth talking about there!
Imagine if it turns out that junkrat is secretly a genius
it's not very secret ahah he's super smart
Idk why I like his voice lines with Cass. The way he calls him, "big man." Makes me chuckle
ALSO SOLDIER 76 TRYING TO HIGH FIVE HIM AND GET HIM WITH THE TWO SLOW IS REALLY FUNNY.
Oh nice! I was just wondering if you'd do an updated version for him. Thank you! Plus, i had never heard some of these and the "up top!" "Hm? Up where?" Between him and soldier:76 ( 3:21 ) made me laugh, reminded me of the "based? Based on what?" Joke xD
Hahahaha, that's one of my favourite interactions!
I wish he had more interactions with Junkrat.
Just the madmen.
If the two were to team, they'd cause more havoc than the Omnic Crisis!
This Lucio interaction. Is that a hint towards how Overwatch is going to heal Sigma's mind?
Not a Sigma main at all but I love his character. So, fun to listen to. "WHAT IS THAT MELODY!?". I love hearing that shii
Bro his interaction with lucio about his music was actually sad
The first time I heard the quote with Zarya at 6:20 I laughed. Idk it’s one of my top favorite voice interactions in the game and I’m surprised more ppl haven’t mentioned it 😂
As a Sigma main, it pleases me greatly to see so much love for my favourite deranged doctor
Sigma on the Midtown map: They say the nightlife here is unlike anywhere else in the world...
I would like to leave before the sun sets.
i love sigma so much man, hes just an awkward nerd being used by evil but he’s so kind
I love the fact he has compliments for everyone, I love this big grandpa so much
This guy is the definition of true neutral. He doesnt care for talon or overwatch. He just likes science
1:38
might be a reference to "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"
"DEATH HAS TRAVELED LIGHTYEARS TO TAKE YOU!"
"...I'm sorry,"
I miss his voice line when absorbing Pharah's ult. "Justice has embraced me!"
7:46 “schoenmaker blijf bij je leest” is “shoemaker stick to your last” which means do not criticise matters outside your field of expertise; mind your own business
fun fact: there is no sound in space, a violin of planck length can't play music into another universe
I genuinely miss his quotes from overwatch 1. When he absorbs Cassidy's deadeye and so smugly says 'Draw' -
3:20 soldier really trying to feel young huh
SIGMA is my all time favorite overwatch character, so thank you for making this video and sharing :)
Sigma is one of the best characters.
He has a loose sense of reality but he's unusually nice and open for a Talon member.
I really feel bad for Sigma, at first i thought he was evil because he was in Talon but when i knew that he’s not workin for them and he’s lost his mind... it made me so sad especially knowing how they’re using him, especially Moira, but his interactions with Sombra is my favorite, since she’s in Talon mostly for herself and she knows when someone is being used and manipulated.
The fact he is actually a sweet old guy that doesn't know who he is working for
when killing winston
"Like father, like son"
that is COLD
Always a treat when you post
Always a treat when you guys comment!
Hey how come I've never heard the interactions between tanks!
OW2 role queue:Bonjour
Some of the questions Sigma asks are pretty thought provoking
I love sigma I am so glad that he is actually interesting since I am Dutch,in the other few games where there is a Dutch character there is usually nothing special about them
I like how McCree and Sombra is always so nice to Sigma
As a Dutch person, I was VERY surprised to hear that shoemaker quote in game🤣
I love his interactions with Sombra. They remind me of Marceline and Simon/Ice King.
Y’wanna know what’s even weirder: is he even a villain at this point?
I adore the fact that Soldier 76, the Old Man-iest of the OW characters for the longest time, even calls Sigma "old man"
speaking solely of personality and backstory, sigma and moira are my favorite characters by far
Everyone: *boring conversation *
Zayara: “ *i s h o o t b l a c k h o l e s a t p e o p l e I d o n ‘ t l i k e .* “
I love that he’s just not evil, like at all. At least until 8:49
5:16 Sigma must be reffering to the music bit because in general relativity the whole point is that gravity is not a force, but instead the curvuture (aka FORM) of the universe that dictates how inertial things move
