      OMG THE MORE I WATCH IT I UNDERSTAND IT MORE AND MORE. he was going to say the universe, but him saying violence followed up by the gunshots is TALON brainwashing him and giving him his 3rd personality.. wow this short is brilliant
      mmm idk, u actually see him in his talon suit before u hear the gunshots.. so actually i think that violent tendency was in him somewhere already
      ACTUALLY, when he says “RELEASE ME” its a double meaning. Talon initially free’d him, only to tamper with his mind and make him violent. it was foreshadowing.. yea this is brilliant

      I mean... Quite literally to. If a black hole the size of a pea exists, its mass is basically almost our Earth (at about .42 times). So if one that's about the size of your palm exists, it would most likely weigh more than our solar system. Plus the Hawking radiation would've disintegrated him in an instant and I don't see him wearing any protection gear on his head. It is, in every sense of the sentence, "too much to hold on to".

    This is lovecraftian horror. In a toned down way of course, but it is still cosmic horror.
    The story of the explorer, the valiant and brave, pushing the boundaries of knowledge, understanding, reality. The story of the one that pushed too far. Pushing out of it. On the other side of understanding, being able to know and think and feel in ways the brain is far too primitive for. And then returning back from the void. Back to what is known, but still remembering. Not remembering how you thought, why you thought, how you felt, but remembering only that there is something *more*

    Overwatch could easily create one of the murkier ideas in cosmic horror.
    The fact that crossing such a physical boundary as controlling a black hole would tear you apart on an inhuman level both mentally and emotionally is terrifying. It can be interpreted as the doctor crossing a barrier to which it is impossible to use a minimum human understanding, to which the brain is not capable of processing what he lived there, permanently altering his reality.
    Thinking that the universe itself is "singing" to him. Perhaps it was what Sigma saw beyond her experiment.
    The terror of the unknown is wonderful.

    Something to note with dementia is that, music is one of the few things those suffering from dementia can retain (that's why everywhere at the end of time is such a powerful album), so associating Sigma's broken psyche with a constant melody that he recognizes but can't put his finger on makes his condition even more believable

    • @THEDANCINGCENTIPEDE
      @THEDANCINGCENTIPEDE 3 роки тому +859

      Sigma hears the black hole because some say the black hole sings so he just hears it and it drives him mad the fact that he can hear it and no one else can. It just keeps singing and singing and it never ever stops. He tried to become the universe, but the universe became him. The black hole looks like the iris of an eye from above and Sigma has harnessed that. So "Gravity is a harness. I have harnessed the harness" means he's harnessed the black hole. It's depicted in the final scene where there is a Sigma with a light black and a dark black hole. You can also hear him say "release me" in reverse when he is shown with Talon as if the good in him is trying to escape.

    In terms of lore, Sigma is one of my favorite characters. I honestly really like when games or movies do the whole "Scientist goes crazy studying the thing they're a professional in" trope.
    Sigma's study itself is extremely interesting anyways. The study of being able to summon, or possibly even control black holes at one's own will, as well as the power to harness gravity.
    It really makes you wonder just how powerful Sigma is. If he can make black holes anywhere he pleases, he could destroy the world, if not the galaxy. He's the most powerful character in Overwatch lore-wise.

    I still get chills every time I watch this video. Btw, at first I interpreted this video as different lore than the actual cannon, in that I thought Sigma experiences the fabric of reality/the multiverse in a different way due to his accident, mainly because of his line "Freedom... imprisonment... it's all an illusion" while switching between an asylum setting and the vastness of space. So when he says "Pull it together" it's him focussing on one slice of reality/timeline and even in which direction he's trying to perceive time. Because his backwards messages insinuate that he has even broken through the illusion of time, there is no inherent direction of it. The human mind is not built for fathoming the perception of spacetime like this, which is maddening when it does.

    • @romanplays1
      @romanplays1 Рік тому +8

      sigmas accident has left his mind utterly fractured yet given him power beyond anyone else in this world (i mean hes got the innate ability to control a fundamental law of the universe). and if his interaction with zenyatta is to be believed. his accident with the black hole gave him a quick meeting with the iris. zenyattas god.

  • @Gemstin
    @Gemstin Рік тому +80

    Based on what just happened, I’m gonna theorize that his investigation and his experiments eventually led him to seeing into the “Iris” that Zenyatta keeps talking about.
    The Iris has been described as not something specific, but everything and it gives an awakening of consciousness for Omnics. Imagine you are something with no thoughts, and no feelings, and then suddenly, you feel something and everything at once. I think that’s how Omnics “wake up”.
    You give that to someone that ALREADY has consciousness and intelligence, that would and did spit a mind apart mentally. Which is what we just saw with Sigma. This would explain how he’s able to levitate like Zenyatta can. Either that or the shift of gravity…

    I have watched this absolute masterpiece over 200 times. and not one time have I not somehow or someway shed tear. the voice acting and story telling is absolutely perfect. in two minitues they conveyed the breakdown of a man who is no longer truly with us. the cryptic messaging and subtle little nods and frame changes show this man's racing mind perfectly. a simple line such as 'release me' is made to have so many different meanings and reasonings. release him from what? release what from him? violence? his conscience from his prison of a mind? talon? the mental asylum? this piece of art makes you feel as if you understand what he's going through when you really will never be able to. the shifts in frames showing the depraved and evil side to him that has been repressed like it usually is has been released. so does he want his evil side to be released or does he want to be released from his evil side. a completely different person. 'what is that melody' is again such a simple line but means so much because we will never truly understand what is going on in his head. is there actually a melody? is it all in his head or has he truly transcended? questions that we will never ever be able to understand. the internal conflict is shown to perfection with two of the simplest lines ever. this could possibly be one of the greatest animated pieces of art ever made. so when you hear sigma screaming "het universum zingt voor mij!!!" just think of what this man is suffering and just say to yourself
    what is that melody?
