See, I used to be in the same camp. Especially RE: McHanzo. It's just pairing two generic hot guys with very little established personality in-canon, who cares?

Then I thought about it for a while, and realized that they have a surprising amount in common. They're both the sort of idiot losers who decide independently, in the sci-fi future, to cosplay as some legendary old-time hero to look cool. They both shun weapons and tactics that don't fit their Aesthetic even if they'd make more conventional sense, and they both take their roles as samurai/cowboy 100% unironically seriously. They both deeply regret hideous crimes they've done in the past and are awkwardly working their way back to forgiving themselves and being real heroes. They're both embodying old-school heroic icons because they don't know how to be heroes on their own merits. Both struggle with self-flagellation (alcoholism and honorable punishment, respectively) as a result of their shitty pasts. Both of them grew up with horrible 'family' influences that they can't quite entirely shake off. And they both genuinely think they look cool and intense while others make fun of them behind their backs.

So... idk. I'm probably reading way too much into it, but I can see it.
