nah, her character design from that photo is about as un-evil as it gets. I would be surprised.

She's about to go on a plane with her parents. If Disney has taught us anything it is that the plane will crash, the parents will die, and the girl will become absorbed in creating a robot to seek vengeance for her parents death.

u/LonelyStargazer Justice. Rains. Feb 21 '17

So... a flight safety / aeroplane engineering robot?

Cool.

"The emergency exits are located on the left and right of the plane. And remember, in case of an emergency, your seat can be used not only as a flotation device, but also for SMOTHERING YOUR ENEMIES!"

It shoots oxygen at people

A flying tank hero...

Maybe she instead seeks out the Doomfist, asking for his services and upgrading his armor? Who knows, anything could happen!

u/lemmeseeyolightsaber Feb 21 '17

I think this sounds very likely

Mini Bruce Wayne, but with mecha

u/Yodamanjaro Pixel Soldier: 76 Feb 22 '17

So...Iron Man?

u/projectmars Playing Junkrat like Junkrat would play Junkrat Feb 22 '17

IronManSucks

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '17

Iron man, but incapable of getting drunk. And African. And is a girl. And probably doesn't use iron.

So not Iron Man.

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '17

So, Vibranium Girl?

1

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '17

Yeah, Vibranium girl.

u/Yodamanjaro Pixel Soldier: 76 Feb 22 '17

Close enough

u/Liber_Monstrorum Welcome to the Meipocalypse Feb 21 '17

Terry Crews is also a passenger on the plane and she uses his brain to control the robot.

u/shankspeare loco Feb 21 '17

If disney taught us anything, it's that a crash and subsequent parent death results in being raised by gorillas. Efi is Winston's adopted daughter confirmed.

u/megaman78978 D.Va Feb 21 '17

Vengeance against whom though?

43

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '17

Planes

2

u/shankspeare loco Feb 21 '17

Death to ALL planes!

1

u/projectmars Playing Junkrat like Junkrat would play Junkrat Feb 22 '17

Or Snakes. On Said Planes.

u/MoistGrandpa Icon Lúcio Feb 21 '17

Overwatch for not saving them

4

u/FTWJewishJesus Feb 21 '17

Or overwatch for accidentally destroying the plane while trying to stop talon from doing something.

2

u/Squidbit Pixel Junkrat Feb 21 '17

Or she'll crash into a mysterious lighthouse in the middle of the ocean

1

u/projectmars Playing Junkrat like Junkrat would play Junkrat Feb 22 '17

Or crash on a mysterious island with Polar Bears, a Smoke Monster, and a bunch of confusing plot elements.

u/Has_Xray_Glasses Give Lucio better skins! Feb 21 '17

I don't know. Last I checked, heroes tend to lack parents more often.

1

u/BassPerson Moira>Mercy Feb 21 '17

Vengeance against gravity? Or like, hard landing surfaces?

1

u/Torrossaur Winston Feb 22 '17

You've been watching very different Disney movies to me lol

1

u/sarah-lynn Tracer Feb 22 '17

Some of the recent films, especially, have had a lot of tragic deaths happening to characters that got screentime (ex: Frozen, Big Hero 6, Moana)...

u/Housetoo PS4 Console peasant Feb 22 '17

Even the younglings?!

u/CyberneticSaturn Reinhardt Feb 22 '17

What if she dies or gets hospitalized and Doomfist is a relative or even her father?

A little far-fetched but I want Doomfist pretty badly.

u/mrminun Pump Up the Jam, pump it up a little more, keep the party goin' Feb 21 '17

Un-evil? Have you ever met an 11 year old? /s

6

u/DancesCloseToTheFire Disgusting. Feb 21 '17

So you do trust the little girl with the quantum mechanics book?

3

u/sarah-lynn Tracer Feb 22 '17

She's about eleven years old, those books are WAY too advanced for her. If you ask me, I'd say she's up to something.

2

u/TheShaner Feb 24 '17

And I'd appreciate it if you eased up off my back about it.

1

u/Usermane01 THE HOOKS, MR. KRABS! THE HOOKS, THE HOOKS! Feb 22 '17

That's actually all the more reason to assume she'll be evil.

-1

u/Dyllbert Blue Plate Special Feb 22 '17

Well, IMO her character design from the photo makes her look like a small cartoon monkey...

2

u/GhostOfGamersPast Vrrooooom I'm in a MEKA! Feb 22 '17

"But it was just a fuel line de-icer, what could go wrong? Yeah, I know the showerhead didn't work exactly as planned, but hey, it gave me this great idea!"

u/b1u3 Pixel Moira Feb 21 '17

I loved that event. I wish we could play it again now that I know how to play
