In the popular cosplay game Overwatch, one of the characters is a robot cowboy named McCree. He has a cowboy hat and a cowboy six-shooter. He’s pretty good at being a cowboy. Yet he does not seem overly familiar with the best cowboy cinema.
One of McCree’s most popular voice lines is “I’m your Huckleberry.” It’s a reference to the classic 1993 western Tombstone. In the film, Val Kilmer’s Doc Holliday introduces himself with the line not once but twice.
It is a gangster-ass way to announce yourself, and Kilmer plays it perfectly both times.

Ball’s in your court, Blizzard. Only you have the power to fix this.
