I don’t care, I love Hammond. He has a distinct silhouette and overall design, connection to other characters (through Horizon and Junkertown), and feels more independent from the two key factions than anyone we’ve gotten since launch, which is nice since the “neutral” group was kinda growing smaller over time.
I actually hope they keep pushing these more outlandish ideas and trying to fit them in-universe, it makes the world more diverse in a less superficial level.
Also he plays great.
