With humans insulting the omnics as “scraps”, “tin cans”, etc.
Somehow Ramattra can’t insult the humans back no matter how angry he is, he could have insulted the humans as “meat sacks” like the Poison Ivy did.
If Orisa could insult the Junkers as “Junk!” after she killed any one of them, then why couldn’t Ramattra insult the Junkers as “Junk rotten meat”, “May the maggots feast on you”.
And somehow some heroes continue being goofy and cracking silly jokes when there’re people dying & suffering; omnics being abducted and forced to serve Null Sector’s cause.
I love Ramattra’s writing as a villain , at first i thought he was gonna be an edgelord terminator but actually i can sympathize with him , i for once welcome our omnics overlords
Ok, weird take, I know, but it might be ‘positive racism’. Like ‘Asians are good at math’. Omnics are just oppressed and really the good guy struggling to survive so they can never do anything that’s seen as controversial. A sentient, intelligent, racist Omnic would muddy the waters of the four-color comic book. Zarya can be racist to Omnics, but they have to be misunderstood, not racist, towards her.
It would have been interesting if they had gone 1960’s Black Panthers political rally type language with him. Really make it a little uncomfortable. OW is too pastel for that, but I would have kind of been into it.
I disagree, OP. The appeal of Magneto-type characters to me is that they are intelligent, civil and courteous, but despite that they’ve tragically taken a dark path. That makes for a more nuanced character than one that goes “eat crap and die, meatsack!!” or whatever after a kill, imo.
I think Ramm is too clever to alienate potential allies/victims with a throwaway remark. Far better to get them on your side or get their guard down. Meanwhile Moira considers herself to be so intelligent but she constantly belittles her allies. If she was in danger would they rush to help her?
