How come Juno needs to wear a Space Helmet?

General Discussion
1

Her parents are from Earth, but she’s a martian (red flags already). But we look past that, and whilst a martian, her spaceship allows for her to not wear the space helmet, consistent with all the other “humans” on board.

But arrive on Earth, and she finds the necessity to wear a space helmet?

I mean for crying out loud, Sandy Cheek’s space helmet (from Spongebob) makes more sense when she wears it underwater to Bikini Bottom.

I hate to make that comparison, but when something doesn’t make sense, I refer to what always will make sense: Spongebob

The gravity on Mars is vastly different then on Earth. Juno’s body has already co.pensated for it.

Thusly she would get extremely sick without the spacesuit.

she might not be acclimatised to earth conditions

It’s a visual design so you don’t forget she’s from Mars, the end. Don’t think too hard, it’s just a game.

Are the conditions inside the spaceship also “Mars-like”? If so, how come the humans can walk around no probs?

It’s not ‘just a game’, it’s my life bro

I could’ve sworn I read something somewhere about the helmet not being a hinderance with regard to designing cosmetics for her in future (they gave her pretty spherical hair so her silhouette wouldn’t change much without it)….as in we probably will get helmet-less designs in future

then let’s start thinking really really hard then
Why do Cassidy still wearing cowboy fit in the year 2070 ?
Why do Winston still wearing his space suit ?
What are the chances of Soldier 76 found a random jacket that have a giant number 76 on the back ?
Tracer hasnt been a pilot for years, why does she still wearing her pilot jacket ?
Is Genji naked ?

Earth smells bad. We’re just used to it, being here all the time.

cuz he’s a BAMF

does*
cuz his space suit serves more than just his outer atmospheric heights he jumps, but also aesthetics and armor

1 in 99
Or he simply had it custom made

Doesn’t mean she threw away the jacket. She’s got more than one outfit, just like all females

We all can only dream…

A BETTER QUESTION WOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE “DOES MAUGA OWN A SHIRT?”

its a video game man, dont think too hard you might hurt yourself

Maybe it’s because of compromised immunity, a big problem for humans raised in isolation. It could also be the terraformed atmosphere is different enough from earth to be an issue, it could also be part of a pressure system because of earth’s gravity. All kinds of plausible scientific reasons, but in the end it’s probably because it’s cool looking.

Different oxygen level. Like in real world: Too high and you will feel dizzy, too low and you will feel sleepy.

She is a ghost on life support

Its mostly explained in the short video “Control” (highly recommended).

I always wear a space helmet, and I’m not even from Mars, so I get it.

Not one person has addressed how in the spaceship, amongst other humans, she doesn’t need to wear it.

Why is it a red flag?
Could it not be that her suit can be controlled with buttons on the suit (her ult, and the ring) and she could have a hud in the helmet telling her valuable info?

No? Just assume a helmet is wrong for some reason? Cool.

Think of her like Ironman, without the money.
With no suit, she’s just a human.

i guess she is the buzz lightyear of overwatch

Lungs and the muscles needed for breathing are not developed for earth, the suit provides enough support for breathing while her body adapts

She’s a Martian in the same vein as the Martians in The Expanse: human colonists. (For those who haven’t heard about The Expanse, I highly recommend it if you’re into Sci-fi; it’s one of the best series in the genre).
