Ever wonder what Mercy's voice actor thinks about Amber Heard's cosplay and Elon Musk? You won't believe her fiery response!
Lucie Pohl, the voice behind the Overwatch character Mercy, recently weighed in on Amber Heard's portrayal of her character. This revelation came into the limelight after Elon Musk shared a picture of Heard donned in the Mercy cosplay. For those not familiar with the situation, a recent biography about Elon Musk divulges that the Tesla CEO once requested Amber Heard to dress as Mercy from the video game Overwatch.
Musk and Heard's romantic history stretches back to 2017-2018. According to Musk's new biography, not only did his family harbor reservations about Heard, but it also states that he asked her to dress up as the video game character. A peculiar photo that Musk posted—dating back five years after their breakup—served to verify the anecdote.
The Real Mercy Joins the Conversation
Lucie Pohl, whose voice has guided many desperate Overwatch players in need of healing, took to Twitter to offer her own critique. Far from being impressed, Pohl seized the opportunity to also take a jab at Elon Musk.
Quipping about the quality of the cosplay, Pohl tweeted that she could "see the manufacturing defects in this cosplay like it's a Tesla," tagging Musk to ensure he didn't miss her sharp critique. While she did not direct any harsh words towards Amber Heard, who wore the outfit, she certainly didn't spare Musk or his automotive empire.
The Overwatch Community Weighs In
Pohl's tweet quickly gained traction among Overwatch fans, who applauded her biting remarks. Some fans labeled her as a "Michelin star chef," commenting that she had just roasted Elon Musk. Others questioned why someone as wealthy as Musk couldn't invest in a better-quality costume.
The conversation also took a more humorous turn, with fans noting how "Mercy has moved from healer to DPS," referencing the roles characters play in the game. Another fan humorously mentioned that "Mercy taking shots at Elon" was an unexpected yet welcome twist.
The Controversy: Not Just About Cosplay
The discussion didn't just limit itself to cosplay critique and playful banter. A segment of the online community found it unsettling that Musk still possessed photographs of an ex-partner years after the relationship had ended. Furthermore, while some Twitter users were busy defending Musk, others expressed their displeasure at Pohl's critique, accusing her of "putting someone down for clicks and clout."
While the debate ranged from the quality of cosplay to concerns about Musk's past relationship, one thing is certain: Lucie Pohl, the voice of Mercy, is unafraid to voice her opinions, whether they heal or hurt.
