    Alright, I am seeing a lot of comments saying your wrong about the show but they don't explain their POV. So I will explain why I enjoy the show. First of all, the show isn't perfect, I'm going to state that now, but it is a good show. The characters all play an important role in the show. The villains feel like they are well thought out and feel like actual threats, and they are treated as such. The team all have their own personalities, their own way of thinking and their own flaws. Wrecker: A very fun character that feels like the kid of the group. He is more like a child quite a bit of the time often seen being like a brother to Omega. He is quite reckless though and has a VERY bad fear of heights. Crosshair: A very serious character that is often grumpy. He is all about order and being a good soldier, even betraying the Bad Batch believing the Empire is worth fighting for, as he fights for the Empire he watches as his brothers start getting replaced to the point where they are treated as just tools of the empire, not worth saving. Thus causing crosshair to betray the empire to avenge his fallen brother. Hunter: Hunter went from being a soldier to being more of the Father figure of the group. Often keeping Omega safe and being very protective of her like a daughter. Tech: He started out as just a very intelligent guy who was often seen being quite blunt about things. But we got to see him grow, he became more human and actually showed emotions better. Omega: She is a very cheerful and optimistic girl always ready to help the rest of the squad, but mostly told to stay on the ship by hunter. She wasn't very good when it came to fighting, at least in the beginning, she slowly develops into a capable member of the team. The story: The story is a lot different from the clone wars, and that's because the war is over. Now we have the bad batch just trying to make a living. Not every single thing will be a key moment or very important. The main part of the show is to show the audience what happened to the clones AFTER Order 66 and how they got replaced. It is also good to see them trying to fix MAJOR plot holes in the sequels as well. Each episode (or two) tell a new adventure of the team and of what's happening in the galaxy like the clones fighting for rights.

    Yes! I asked and you delivered. Comment of the day from the series’ proponents! Thank you for your explanation. Despite our disagreement, we can trade viewpoints without vitriol. I’ll address only the first point tonight. Early rise for me tomorrow. I’ve struggled with the villains though the premise doesn’t require one, big baddie. Vice Admiral Rampart wasn’t distinguished from other Imperial officers IMO. Hemlock has potential. He’s shown callousness and cunning. Most important, he’s been effective at thwarting Clone Force 99 and restoring a sense of danger. The series would benefit from more of him. Again, thank you for you comment.

    This video is extremely unfair to the show. I'm afraid I have to disagree with almost everything you said. Yes, Palpatine returning should have been explained in the movies, but this isn't Dave Faloni's or the Bad Batches' fault, they are at least attempting to make the sequels better, and in my opinion, I think they are succeeding, yes filler is an issue, but when the show is focused which is at least half the episodes it is very affective. You ignore great characters, compelling stories, and a great follow-up to the Clone Wars. Also, would the show be better as a movie, I agree that OBi-Wan, Ahsoka and Bob Fett would have been far better as condensed, 2-hour movies. But the difference lies in the scope of the shows. The content I just listed are all focused on smaller stories and character studies. The Bad Batch while having core characters focuses on a larger story and time in the galaxy that condensed would be rushed and unsatisfying. I like to think of it less like a Book of Boba Fett or Obi-Wan and more like a smaller-scale Clone Wars, which expertly managed to have a wide variety of stories in only 10 fewer episodes than a Bad Batch season, with Omega, Crosshair, and Hunter as guides as part of a smaller story, in that case also makes filler less of an issue, not to mention much of the quote "Filler" or "Mcguffin" episodes, while not always being essential to the story, serve as character builder for the cast. Lastly, OMega is not Mary Sue unlike Rey Omega learns her skills, Echo teaches her to fire a blaster, when she first pilots she struggles with it, and in Cut and Run she is naive about the world and later learns you can't everyone. She actually helps the main Bad Batch be more interesting, by letting them open up and see new sides to them, Hunter learns how to commit to her, Tech finally becomes 3 dimensional and Crosshair must deal with someone with very different world views. To end this comment just let me say, yes the Bad Batch had many flaws, Echo is misused mostly, fille is still a problem and there is missed potential, but I still think it ha more good than bad, and watching this, this show would seem like it sucks, and I'm hoping Bad Batch season 3 will continue on a good track.

    On one hand i can see how one could view Omega as a girlboss but on the other hand, she's come along way in the show. Since it's been like 2 years since order 66 and the bad batch have been doing what they can to teach Omega what they can witch is all war related to them, shooting, piloting, tech savvy, first aid and some other stuff. Omega herself taken to these things pretty well as a jango fett clone should, an her own skill at games(gambling) seems to be her "calling". However after Omega an Crosshair escaped an crashed on a backwater planet, she somehow (very conveniently) walked into a bar with a Trandosian (lizard guy) that just so happened to be gambling, an ever so CONVENIENTLY had like like 15k to 20K credits, and he WASN'T BUT HURT ABOUT IT! Then the obviously corrupt imp captain gambled away like 20k of "his" money, the "taxed" them. So in the span of a afternood, and minutes after attempting to bribe a dock attended, Omega had won a whopping 35k! Why isn't the bad batch utilising this! Thats nearly enough for a god damn star ship! I also find it ridiculous that Omega just gave away 5k credits to a kid for basic af info to where alien pet is an lets him leave. Like, sweet lord for 5k credits your at least taking me there. First 2 sessions where filled with too much filler episodes but session 3 atm has been ok with it, mostly plot related and the one filler episode by the end of it put Hunter an Wrecker in the same "sector" as Omega, witch means it wouldn't have been too much of a stretch how they got to the meet-up so quickly.

Well I'd assume the series is going to a bad place. It keeps hinting that the clones will settle down on that seismic utopia planet of escaped clones but I just don't see the Empire letting them go quietly. In fact I'd be kinda disappointed if they do live happily ever after. Maybe if they delete the planet from the Imperial Palace (former Jedi Temple) archives I could buy it. I'm not sure there's a realistic path to an honorable end for the clones' legacy. I think more likely some clones will find honor in survival by becoming guns for hire in small numbers on some planets.

    I love the show because it's comforting and traumatizing. I love the brotherhood of the bad batch, and I can relate often to their hardships of loss and grief. Yet the clones in general always gave me confidence as I grew up with the Clone Wars. Bad Batch being a strong continuation. There's something about the unknowing of their fates, as well as the knowing that the clones themselves will fail in their war against the Empire. Yet, we still cheer for them. We admire them. They are rolling up their sleeves to do what they need to do, and I respect that. While the story may not shake and connect much with the saga, I always love seeing a near corner of the galaxy unexplored. The only advice to give to any viewer, not with Star Wars alone but with any media, is to not set expectations. Relax and enjoy the characters and the sceneries. Hopefully to find a way to see yourself in the story.

    A slow run does not equate to filler. Omega’s repetitive schedule and miserable state of living is what you’re meant to feel: dread, akin to something like the Lighthouse. And I’m pretty sure tying into the new continuity is not a bad thing. Saying “Weyland isn’t like it is in Legends” is a very “The grass is green” comment. Of course it’s different. It’s being used to fufill a different purpose. It’s not a commercial. It’s being used to for the established lore of what the Empire is trying to accomplish with cloning. It’s expanding the universe. It’s not promotion. I like how you also try to push Omega as a “woke” character, but she needed Crosshair and Nala Se in order to escape. Shes gotten captured more times then I can count, and I like how you credit her being a good pilot, when she only just started to learn in S2, and even then, broke it, which Tech was clearly worried about. Shes not a Mary Sue. Shes a naive kid. Don’t make shit up just to be mad

    @@galacticinitiative7979 I do agree to a far extent of your statement that the show is full of filler episodes, and yes I agree, season 2 was filled to the brim with them. But there are some episodes like "The solitary clone" or "Outpost" from season 2 are some very well done episodes. It shows the evil of the Empire and how the Republic has truly fallen. Season 3 so far has been decent because of the character growth throughout the whole cast, especially Crosshair, who I believe to be a great character. The first episode of S3 is probably my favorite of the whole series just because we get to see what the republic became and are shown the roots that will someday become the Empire we know and love. Edit: I also agree that Filoni sucks. He has done some of the best things for Star wars like the character Ahsoka, not the show. But there are other things he has done that run the whole franchise into the ground for the sake of "money" or whatever else. The mandolarian S3 or book of boba fett are some of the worst crap ever made for the franchise (again in my opinion) because Filoni is not that great at writing shows or characters and all Disney wants is money.

E1, BB, S3: the dripping faucet (how many times did we see it dripping, ffs), the creation of a routine for Omega (totally could have alluded to it, not actually force us to watch Omega create it)... They didn't progress the plot anywhere. Maybe I'd concede that they were bits of exposition, but, seriously, there are other plot diagrams they could follow (Fichtean, for example). Rather, the events I mentioned -- again, filler events -- were wasted, precious seconds that could have been used towards an actual plot, or character building (like, why aren't they experiencing grief, guilt, etc. from the loss of Tech?), or, even, several crises. Each episode is supposed to progress a plot forwards. But that doesn't mean that's actually what's going on. There's definitely a glamour in place to make you think so, though.

    I thought all of this “filler” shows exposition of how monotonous her time as a child is going to waste and how long she’s been in the facility without actually saying she’s been in there for x-amount of days, months, or years. Someone counted the tics on the wall. The first scene is several months worth. The third episode is a few years worth. It actually moves the story along quite a bit…if you pay attention to the details. If you’re watching it to get to the climax, I’m going to guess you have no experience with foreplay. 😂 Each episode builds on something we’ll see later in the series. Time Omega spent with Tech builds on us feeling something when he sacrifices himself for the team with Plan 99. If you don’t know that from season 2 of The Clone Wars, you should really go back and watch it. And here is your… Well, actually… Filoni is following in Lucas’s footsteps. George _stole_ from every story you’ve heard of and then some. He created something original from them. He made them his own. Kathleen Kennedy green-lit Rogue One, which has none of the afore-mentioned lightsabers, Jedi and very few Space Ships and aliens. If you pay attention to the details in the sequels, you should be able to pick out some of the parallels between Anakin and Rey. Both are good at fixing things. Both were sold (lost) to merchants as slaves at a young age. These are not plot holes. They are ambiguous. The context clues are there. All you have to do is pay attention. The sequels were adapted from George’s story treatments. Disney doesn’t understand the importance of the deep dive into the Midichlorians or the Whills, but we’ll eventually get them. I’m sure new fans would’ve had a hard time understanding those points, as well.

    I agree that so much of Disney Star Wars bends over backwards to justify the sequel trilogy. But what they do with individual storylines from expanded universe is not bad at all. Cherrypicking is the logical solution to fit the overall narrative, which as we know is bending over backwards to the sequel trilogy. What they do for individual characters also doesn’t hurt the narrative and themes of the show either. Right from the very beginning we were introduced to Omega. And right from the beginning we knew she herself is a special McGuffin within the world set be the show. Naturally the plot gravitate around her and The Batch as a whole. That’s not false advertising. If you don’t agree with the premise, then you shouldn’t agree with The Mandalorian’s (s01-02) premise because both quite similar in premise. No, she is not a “mary sue”. She is no where near what you even consider is one. That’s an opinion and belief not worth arguing with because it will always boil down to a battle over politics, gender ideology, and basic character writing. And that’s not fun or productive to do in a comments section of a KZread video.

    What I do get is you don't understand how the characters have developed and the seasons have gotten better as they progress. What I don't get is why people like yourself spend so much time and effort bitching about these series, especially when you hate them so much. I can only surmise it is because it doesn't match with your head-canon , then it must be all wrong! You can put up a reply, but I won't be hanging around here again. So that will add to your wasted time and effort.

    I wish the series focused on the early Empire! I want more episodes like The Solitary Clone. TBB follows a girl who’s the key to everything but, after 21 episodes, it hasn’t explained the key to everything. JJ Abrams’ style. You have exceptional patience to watch 20 hours of content without definitive answers. If everyone likes it but me, why is it ending after three seasons? And why doesn’t it rate among the most-watched streaming series?

    Even if TBB has a few decent episodes, good music and animation and a handful of good characters (which it does have tbf), *it is still shitty as a Star Wars show.* The ridiculous levels of contradiction with pre-established lore already makes it a bad show. Not only does it completely ignore prior lore for the early Empire era, which in Disney Canon hasn't been bad by their standards, but it also defies common sense. Why do the Imperials have a hate boner for the clones? How did the non-clone stormtroopers magically appear a mere year after Episode 3? Why are they acting like the clones weren't called stormtroopers by the Empire? Why are the Empire immediately so much worse than the Republic? Why are they getting rid of as many clones as possible as early as possible, isn't there still a war going on with CIS holdouts? It is all nonsense. Worst of all is how Filoni stans claim that Filoni is 'retconning' prior DisCanon work, which isn't possible since according to Disney, all media is on equal footing in their canon. And yet, Wookiepedia's canon section treats TBB's opening sequence as retconning the *much better* scene from the Kanan comics. Disney also forces their comic and novel writers to create increasingly bullshit excuses for Filoni's shitty lore, which has encouraged their new writers to break the lore as much as they want as well. Thus it has been unsurprising to see DisCanon comics and novels get worse and worse over time as they pander to Filoni and make nonsensical stories that don't respect the lore whatsoever.

    If so, she has approved the worst run of SW in its long history. As the studio’s president, shouldn’t she bear some/most responsibility? Filoni needs a good storytelling partner and clear limits in the lore. If she ignores his strengths/weaknesses and abdicates all oversight, is she doing her job? In a previous video, I speculated Disney would execute its agenda with or without her. Her clear choice is “with.” IMO, both are to blame. Thank you for watching.

    I don't think Dysney always gets it right but the insistence by yourself and other old school fans that the hero must be male is shown by the fact that no one ever calls the effortlessly good at everything Anakin (pilot, pod racing, droid building, light saber dueling, etc...) a Mary Sue. A flaw in general with all Star Wars characters is that they pick stuff up without noticeable struggle (Luke, R2D2, Boba Fett, Ashoka, Ezra, Anakin, Omega, Rey) all are less interesting characters than they could be because they seem to be jack of all trades and master of all trades. They can deverything and anything because of lazy storytelling but that fault is not one limited to the female characters. Your girl boss critique is interesting but flawed as OG content as almost all of the mainline Star Wars content puts women in prominent and official if not primal leadership roles e.g. Padme, Leia, Hera, Mon Mothma. Palpatine, Tarkin, Thrawn are all obviously male but other than Thrawn they are deeply flawed leaders.

    Thank you for watching. Anakin didn’t save his mother, control his anger, rescue Obi-Wan, or stop Count Dooku. He lost one of his hands. (AotC) Later, he was tricked by Palpatine, scolded by Mace Windu, overcome with fear, and turned to the Dark Side. (RotS) He wasn’t effortlessly good at everything. Luke was similar. Impatient. Arrogant. Han rescued him twice. He failed on Hoth and Dagobah and rushed to face Darth Vader. His right hand was severed. (ESB) When he lost his temper, he seriously wounded his father, who he was trying to save. (RotJ) My point: Neither character is a Mary Sue. They had special abilities and grew stronger, but they struggled, failed, and learned as they went. Character arcs! Young Leia and Omega are girl bosses. They exhibit unearned wisdom and other traits far beyond their years, and their few mistakes don’t cost nearly enough to create tension and change them as characters. Not male v female. Just good writing v bad writing.

As depicted, she lacks the strength to accomplish that sequence, training or no. However, the majority of my complaints about Omega involve her mental/emotional maturity and skill set. Those components of her character far surpass my threshold for believability in galaxy, let alone IRL. With a few training scenes, her piloting, marksmanship, etc. all went to expert level. She behaves like a 50-year-old in terms of counseling the Bad Batch and providing a moral compass. She leads them in many ways despite their older, wiser, more experienced backgrounds.
