Or Is It Lazy Writing? - Tumblr Posts

You blew it, Blizzard. What the heck kind of crap was Code of Violence?

Spoilers ahead if you haven't read it. I would recommend you not, it is disappointing.

Scroll down if you want to see it.

Reyes had so much potential and so much personality, and rather than come up with a story where he redeems himself, or has a grand plan, no. He's just another tired cop who just threw his hands up in the air and said a big F U to everything he worked for. How many comics have this plot, again?

Moira messing around? Okay, we all saw that a mile away. But Reyes becomes Reaper because he can't keep a lid on his anger? Really? Is that scene in Retribution where he makes up his mind to shoot Antonio just the point where decided to screw over everything he worked for? He lost his TEMPER??

You done our boy dirty. I wish I could say I am looking forward to more lore, but if this is the kind of poor storytelling you're going to give us, screw you.

[Also, could you not even keep character ages straight? Would you care to explain how Reyes has a son who's 6 years old, when Overwatch has been gone for 5? Are you trying to tell me that his wife got pregnant with said kid not long after the events of Retribution? Because that is roughly the timeline we're looking at, here, based on the comics and this story.]
