Hollywood’s Omnic Director
Have you ever been playing on the Hollywood map and wondered who the hell is yelling so much in the limo? Well, the person inside is actually an omnic named Hal-Fred Glitchbot, who’s a director for a variety of famous films such as They Came Beyond the Moon which has posters plastered across the map. Apparently, he has been targeted by an anti-omnic force that is threatening his life. However, where this story gets curious is to why’s he so important that 6 members of the illustrious Overwatch need to actually protect him?
Surely one director doesn’t warrant the likes of Winston, Tracer, and Soldier 76 as bodyguards, so is there something more than just the comic relief he offers. This is one of those stories we probably won’t actually ever get an answer too, but the idea of an omnic director is interesting from a cultural standpoint. We’ve already established tensions between both humans and omnics are high, so what do they make of his work and messages? We know from a movie poster that D.Va has actually appeared in a major film, so there could be a possible connection between her and Glitchbot.
This could also explain why Overwatch is protecting him because of a possible relationship between this Overwatch heroine and the omnic director. Even though we will probably never get answers to these questions the least Blizzard could do is show us one of Glitchbot’s movies. Don’t act like those movie posters aren’t awesome, you’d totally stop fighting to watch one, admit it.
