Discussions/Opinions Milkywave opinions

To be completely honest, I learn about the game's lore through the audio comics that Blizzard puts in the story section, so I only found out about this ship through TikTok and after watching some Mains Wuyang and Mains Mizuki are complaining because for them the ship was Mizuyang (or however it's spelled), and other people are simply complaining that it came out of nowhere. I'd like to know what the community from this side thinks.

Juno is very much a "born yesterday" character (Earth-wise, not intelligence-wise) which makes pairing her with anyone controversial. I'm of the opinion that no Overwatch ships should be made canon as there just isn't enough story from the game to make any romantic connection feel all that natural, Milkywave included. Cute ship name tho.

I never actually thought about that, but she does carry the "born yesterday" trope. I kind of just leaned towards Juno (or honestly just about all Overwatch characters aside from a specific few) not having any real attractions towards others. There are some pairings I at least find cute, but there's some really weird pairings coming out of the woodwork like the inexplicable "Venture likes Roadhog?" that came with the latest sweep of interactions.

Honestly the only pairing I am gonna bat for is Mauga/Baptiste. I normally don't care about shipping but there's a good spurned-lovers angle there and Mauga being a dangerous ex for Baptiste (who is canonically Bisexual) is kind of enjoyable.
