Why I've Fallen for the Bad Batch - Season 2 Review

[@Zhicano]

Can't believe Bad Batch smoked the Mandalorian in terms of storytelling and action.

[@metroidnerd9001]

I think something to take away from Tech and Omega's relationship is that if Tech ends up being dead, Omega is a good candidate to take over a lot of his roles in the group. She was the only one who showed any interest in a lot of what he talked about, and she spent a lot of time with him learning things about starships and flying. Of course, she doesn't have his enhanced intelligence, so she won't be quite as effective, but I think it would be fitting if she continued the learning Tech started her on and took over the mantle of her fallen brother.

[@nadanumber1]

I just want Phee to hug tech and tech to give in and give her a genuine hug back and have his character show the actual growth they kept hinting at throughout season 2. Or if would be cool if she had saved him and he ended up having amnesia from the fall which would tie into him losing his enhanced intelligence ability. I have a feeling they’re all gonna go out with a bang tho. Like Echo will get revenge on Hemlock because of the experimentation stuff and Crosshair and Hunter will sacrifice themselves for Omega finally reconciling and wrecker also going out getting killed in an explosion fighting a big monster. Tech never had a motive other than learning to be a more emotionally open character and having him end up with Phee in the end would complete his own storyline.

Season 2 has become one of my favorite Star Wars projects ever. It just hit me in the right way.

[@thimovijfschaft3271]

Well we know from the Mandalorian that the Rebels never found out about Palpatine's cloning experiments. The Empire is after them, and they already have Crosshair and Omega. I think the whole Bad Batch might die. Because I don't think they'll be able to stay in hiding on Pabu forever. The Empire will find them there. So I think we can safely assume that the whole squad will die. Maybe asside from Omega. About your explanation: I think Hemlock was lying about not finding the body because he might be using Tech's body for experiments. And the Goggles might go to Omega. If she survives, and gets out of there and live somewhere safe, she might have some items from each Bad Batch member.

[@bakes1324]

Tech was becoming such a great character. I like that they had the balls to kill one of the team members but I wish it wasn’t tech.

[@TyrannoNoddy]

Why you've FALLEN for the Bad Batch, hmm? Like Tech falling to his demise? :P But yeah, I have similar sentiments. Episodes before the midseason two parter kind of had varying levels of quality, I didn't mind Faster even if it was lighter but I did find Entombed kinda dull even if it kinda helped set up the relationship with Phee, and I did find the premiere to be a bit too long and it could've just been one episode IMO (or even slightly extended if they REALLY needed the extra time). But yeah, since the midseason I've really been enjoying what they're doing, even the smaller episodes people would cry filler at I still really enjoyed, like The Crossing is legitimately a favourite of mine. Ironically, The friggin Outpost was the episode I cared for the least in the second half, and that was mainly because I just found Nolan so over the top evil it was hard to take seriously. And yeah, I find it ironic that the animated show many would dismiss as just for kids seems to have more mature and thought out storytelling than the big live action show that everyone talks about, where I'm honestly still trying to figure out what they're really doing.

[@titan_redeemer7371]

The main problem with people hating on the show is, they desperately want to have another Clone Wars or Rebels and keep comparing the two as though they were one in the same and criticizing it for doing something different from those shows or the same. The thing people haven’t accepted is that, nothing can replace those shows, they’ve ended and are not coming back, this is what follows and it has to make its own legacy.

[@kumardias9348]

Great points I also loved this season

[@PenguinofD00mxxx]

I've really grown to love this show. The art style has really improved since Clone Wars. Pabu looked so great. Genuinely, I have come to care for the characters through storytelling and character development. I'm looking forward to season 3, hope it's announced soon.

[@59rlmccormack]

Real glad you like it.

[@Rembanspellsong]

I seriously doubt Tech is dead. yes the fall was a dangerous and easily a lethal one, but if he had died on impact his armor would have survived and they would have found that as well as his glasses because the armor is tougher than the glasses would ever have been. But yeah, this season was great. It wasn't all about galaxy ending problems, or fighting the empire, it was about character development and how the batch were still learning to be a family together and how they feel about potentially giving up their lives as soldiers to live as normal people and a normal family.

[@SuperPlacido1]

Tech has to stay dead for the sake of the storyline or else the Disney Star Wars series would have no credibility and when we are going to see a character "die" and it will take away the action!

[@Rembanspellsong]

@@SuperPlacido1 then why were only his glasses recovered? like I said, his armor is much more durable and would have survived the fall if his glasses only cracked.

[@SuperPlacido1]

@@Rembanspellsong Because the rest of the body is simply untraceable! If the characters live all the time there will never be any suspense and it will become boring!

[@Rembanspellsong]

@@SuperPlacido1 the body wouldn't get up and move from where it landed, and it would be in a similar place to where they found the glasses. wild animals would not be able to tear into the body unless the armor was breached, and clones have fallen from similar heights before and not had their armor breached. Just because you think that it would be bad story telling for him to survive doesn't mean there is no chance he did. from the evidence we have, there is little to say he didn't survive somehow so there is a chance. Not all stories have to be gritty and have death in them to be good stories.

[@angelayang1850]

Another thing is that the goggles were underneath the helmet. They simply can't be the only thing that was "salvageable", the rest must have survived in some capacity, too.

[@IsaacKuo]

Bo-Katan is in a really low place right now, with major life changes imposed on her rather than acting via her own agency. But ... maybe the solution to her agency problems won't be all that complicated? I mean ... what it really boils down to is a question she isn't asking herself, "What do _I_ want?" And the answer to that might really be as simple as ... "I wanna be Grogu's mom." Or maybe the answer will be more complicated.

[@Kriv-kj6lk]

The Outpost is a masterpiece, such a stronger season

[@SubManic]

I will not be unseated.

[@kimberlym-w9926]

The graphics on The Bad Batch are better The Colon Wars!! I like The Colon Wars but I love The Bad Batch!! I hope Tech is alive and Crosshair goes back to The Bad Batch!!

[@SuperPlacido1]

*Clone Wars not Colon

[@totalwar1793]

1:44... too soon...

[@eclipped]

So does this mean fall of the republic will get more updates for post order 66👀

[@UnifiedEntity]

Next season needs more Hunter. I feel like he is underutilized lately.

[@ArcBing]

Don't boo that, it was glorious comedy.

[@extrahomegrown]

heres why the clone wars art style is so great it itself is a way of showing us how this part of star wars history is looked at if you at the art style you will see that it's well look's painted like some sort of classical era were rebels has an spray painted looked like counter culture rebelling I think that this is a statment about how the 2 eras are seen one of romantised heros one of counter culture rebels it's quite deep if you look into it am looking to far into it no I think let me know if you read this whole thing

[@BRONZALiVE]

Bad batch season 2, primarily the cross hair, Cody eps were fucking insanely good Star Wars, 70 percent of the season was damn good, there is filler crap, but fir the most part animated Star Wars storytelling is far superior to the live action stuff in d plus

[@tonystank3091]

Nooo, that joke was too soon, man...

[@izackholmgren4686]
