I’m still mad he’s alive. I was never on board with it to start with, cheapens the moment and thematics of the story and it’s just never a good idea to bring back a character from the dead.

But also in regards to Maul, I wouldn’t consider Lucas himself “just some writer”.

Omega is more like: Hunter gets call from somone one Omega: we have to save him Hunter: no its too dangrous still goes there. someone gets captured and now its season 3

The best part of the bad batch is when they actually explore what it means to be a clone, how they manage their individuality, etc etc. But that rarely happens, and unfortunately, the characters don't have enough depth (in my opinion) to support a whole show.

I thought all the episodes were descent so far. I also remember watching clone wars episodes that were equally as dull, like the Rush Clovis episode from season 2 Clone Wars. Because that episode was just a lead up to the Geonosia episodes.
This is what happens when you have archetypes instead of fleshed out characters. I thought this show had a rocky foundation from the start since the Bad Batch are all extremely one-note, should've been a video game or something instead
@@andybub45 Well that's depressing. But on a more serious note though, I really don't need more Clone Wars. All I ever wanted was for them to finish the finale and Seige of Mandalore was a dream come true, so I can live with it
The Bad Batch is basically the Five-man Band trope, which works most times. It consist of the Leader, their Foil (often called Lancer), the Brain, the Brawn and the Heart (or The Girl). You could easily see it, Hunter is the Leader, Crosshair is his Foil, Tech is the Brain and Wrecker is the Brawn, while Omega is the Heart. But Crosshair is replaced with Tech, who is also a Brain. So now this Five-man band has two brains and no foil who clashes with the leader. (I have a feeling this is why Echo left the team recently, and either Crosshair will have a change of heart or they pick up someone new.)
EXACTLY like in season 1, the best episode of season 2 is the 3rd episode involving Crosshair. That’s what I came to see and expected the Bad Batch to be: a dark tale spanning an even darker period where the Jedi have been wiped out, the Empire is coming into power, and the clones are gaining a keen sense of self-awareness that goes beyond their mind control chips and is leading them to question the dark morality of their horrific atrocities. Instead, all that I get are “The Spectacular Adventures of Omega and Friends” where every single episode is always their “last mission” but never actually their last mission. These guys spent TWO entire episodes trying to steal some jewels or something, lost them, escaped the empire, then were like: “lol let’s forget all about how there was no point to any of this and move on”. Next episode they go on a treasure hunt led by a known liar and find nothing because she’s a known liar. Episode after that they save a Wookiee. Like NONE of their episodes ever advance the plot or add anything to the lore or world. Meanwhile with Crosshair, we get to see how the Empire is continuing to fade out clones, how planets are rebelling, how clones (even regular ones) are deserting, how the Empire is ruthlessly dealing with “insurgents”, and even what happens to our boy Cody.
Not even an exaggeration about Echo. In Season 2 Episode 4, there’s a moment where each character gets to make a quip before entering a cave system. Echo just looks at Hunter silently for a few seconds before going in. Even the droid gets to make a few excited beeps. But just silence for Echo.
Hunter: Gives implicit, direct, and easy to follow orders Omega: Does literally the opposite Hunter: Okay, let's do this then Omega: BUT HAUNNNTER Hunter: Fuck okay Echo: You know Rex is actually doing important stuff?
Weird part about this show is the main cast is not what people are not interested in anymore. The world they live in is more interesting since it portrays early days of Empire, which is rare in StarWarse universe.
Yep. The Bad Batch were characters that should've stayed as a single arc, because their characterization is so paper thin that it was stretched to its limit within the first episode. The only interesting one was Crosshair, but Season 2 is already pushing hard for him going against the Empire like literally everyone else.
I think it's also due to the fact that most of the characters are just your typical special forces squad stereotypes (tech guy, strong guy, brooding leader, naive rookie), and they haven't really done a lot to build them very far past that
@@whoop6377 To say they're a stereotypes is a massive understatement. I was disappointed by their arc in season 7 of TCW but still decided to give the Bad Batch a chance. After few episodes of season 2 I'm think I've had enough though. Beginning and ending of the first season were memorable, but apart from that it's mostly a waste of time. Tales of the Jedi was far more interesting
Yet Filoni keeps accelerating it for no reason, like really? Stormtroopers on season 1? Destroying Kamino? Cody deserting at his first mission? White Clone Troopers replacing all the legions in a couple of months?
I know they're all Clones, but Dave, buddy... You could have written them to have different personality BEYOND their one note. Echo definitely hurts the most. Poor guy was written out of the show and the only impact was wondering why he was in it to begin with.
"Even though you burnt down that village, murdered the townspeople, and destroyed their crops, I know you're still a nice guy!" Hilarious, but like, actually a great point. It's also so inconsistent too; no matter what evil Crosshair does, he's always still "a nice guy" and "tHe ChIp fOrCeD hIm tO", but then the Bad Batch turns around and kill hundreds of other clones in the season who, presumably, have no control over their actions.
It’s kind of been proven throughout the show that everyone in the Bad Batch except Echo don’t really care about any clones who aren’t part of their squad…
I remember thinking that this show was going to be Commander Cody giving Black Op. Tasks to the Force to carry out. Would've been a good chance to introduce a show from the Imperial perspective for once and not yet another defection story.
I do like how Hunter is always a No, But it is worth it for Sid to pester him as they are an elite unit that would cost a fortune to make and train. I feel like the group is still tiring to find out what the hell they can do in this galaxy. seems like they need to find Omega a place and then just fade away or blaze of glory fighting the empire. Curious to see what they do.
Season 2 is infuriating already because it feels like the Batch are just bumbling about doing nothing important while Crosshair gets an actual story. Get Boba Fett involved and have him meet Omega; they're the closest thing possible to brother and sister among all the clones. Bring in Delta Squad from Republic Commando (minus Sev) and have them team up with Crosshair to hunt down the Batch. Have Sev pop up as a grizzled survivor who is working WITH the wookies against the empire.
NAHHHHH we need to have omega get lost again that's always more fun then any story related stuff. A part of me was hoping it would be Echo who got brainwashed or whatever that way he goes away at least we have a SNIPER on the team
Sev is alive, that’s just my belief, and also it would be way cooler if they confirmed that, also doesn’t the episode he show up in take place after the game?
The greatest part about this video is that he made one of these for season 2. It's hidden right in this video: after the video is done playing, you can press this looping arrow that says "replay" and a video that describes every episode of season 2 starts!
You could cut like half the run time from this show and it wouldn’t really affect anything. It’s annoying because the clone wars wasn’t structured to have a main plot for the most part so the filler episodes there didn’t really have a downside. But this show is supposed to have a main plot but it gets ignored half the time.
Thanks! I was gonna make a joke about how Crosshair and Tech sound pretty much the same, but then I realized that all the clones sound exactly like each other lol
@@corycoogan7448 Haha! 😂 Have you seen the video where the voice actor Dee Bradley Baker talks about each Bad Batch clone? He said Echo is more grumpy-sounding than the others--maybe because he doesn't get as many lines? Haha!
We’re already 5 episodes in to the show and STILL there’s no visible plot line their following or goal it’s working to. All it’s been are allusions to clones reevaluating Order 66 and that could lead to a clone rebellion; but again, no grand, over-arching plot line that has been revealed yet
I swear, this is so accurate to how the show is structured: The Bad Batch get a job, Omega gets distracted from said job, (while talking about her StRaTeGY) Tech says nerdy stuff, Wrecker wants to blow something up, Crosshair and Hunter have a standoff, *(insert long, drawn-out battle here)* Crosshair claims "i'M dOinG mY dUtY." And Echo does absolutely nothing. The only thing you missed was the fat Trandoshian lady insulting the team and valuing Omega of all people above the rest of them. Honestly, as someone who has a great love for The Clone Wars, I can't tell you how disappointing this show has been for me so far. I'm very skeptical of S2; from what I've seen, it just looks to be more of the same of what we already saw.
Well said dude! Totally agree. I’ll be sure to include the Trandoshian lady in the next one since she’ll no doubt be in it. Lol But yeah fingers crossed S2 gets a little bit more deep.
It’s kinda sad that your the first comment I’ve seen that I agree with The pilot ep and the scene with the clones destroying kamino were the only 2 positive things I could say about the show Me and my dad were both rly disappointed on how the show was structured as some repetitive kids show that gets very boring very quickly
This is hilariously true. I do love the series but it has so many rinse and repeat filler episodes that half the time it doesn't feel like its going anywhere
Also worth mentioning the couple times of "We're going to botch this illicit mission because it's the 'right thing to do', despite the fact that our livelihood depends on it and heaven forbid we lapse into low-neutral-anti-hero territory!"
The bad batch is really frustrating because there's some really great episodes in there (most recently the crosshair and cody one) but it's burried underneath a mountain of Sid's adventure of the week, a few of those episodes would be fine if the overarching story was progressed a bit more
yup. i enjoy the majourity of the show (definitely not the garbage pod racing one tho. fuck that boring ass episode), but theres a lot to make fun of lol. its a pretty hollow show, but it is pretty fun
I still love this amazing funny video so much.😂 Please make more hilarious videos similar to this or about other Star Wars content. You're great at it, we would love to see more.
Firstly, these impressions are impeccable. Secondly, I have always wondered how the Bad Batch, a team of elite Clone Troopers famed for their daring and unconventional tactics and battle prowess, with next to zero experience on girls, women, or how to be fathers, reacted and handled it when Omega started puberty.

Hunter: Gives implicit, direct, and easy to follow orders
Omega: Does literally the opposite
Hunter: Okay, let's do this then
Omega: BUT HAUNNNTER
Hunter: Fuck okay
Echo: You know Rex is actually doing important stuff?
I like how you even mimicked Omega's weird accent compared to everyone else
Weird part about this show is the main cast is not what people are not interested in anymore. The world they live in is more interesting since it portrays early days of Empire, which is rare in StarWarse universe.
Yep. The Bad Batch were characters that should've stayed as a single arc, because their characterization is so paper thin that it was stretched to its limit within the first episode. The only interesting one was Crosshair, but Season 2 is already pushing hard for him going against the Empire like literally everyone else.
I think it's also due to the fact that most of the characters are just your typical special forces squad stereotypes (tech guy, strong guy, brooding leader, naive rookie), and they haven't really done a lot to build them very far past that
Because we want them included in that
Not on side quest
When they are included its great
@@whoop6377 To say they're a stereotypes is a massive understatement. I was disappointed by their arc in season 7 of TCW but still decided to give the Bad Batch a chance. After few episodes of season 2 I'm think I've had enough though. Beginning and ending of the first season were memorable, but apart from that it's mostly a waste of time. Tales of the Jedi was far more interesting
Yet Filoni keeps accelerating it for no reason, like really? Stormtroopers on season 1? Destroying Kamino? Cody deserting at his first mission? White Clone Troopers replacing all the legions in a couple of months?
The voices are absolutely perfect.
“Omega, you saved us just in time!”
“Yup, cause tHaT’s mY sTrAtEegYaiY
The wrecker voice and attitude was spot on. He's usually the explosives comedy relief and this nailed it.
I know they're all Clones, but Dave, buddy... You could have written them to have different personality BEYOND their one note. Echo definitely hurts the most. Poor guy was written out of the show and the only impact was wondering why he was in it to begin with.
"Even though you burnt down that village, murdered the townspeople, and destroyed their crops, I know you're still a nice guy!"
Hilarious, but like, actually a great point. It's also so inconsistent too; no matter what evil Crosshair does, he's always still "a nice guy" and "tHe ChIp fOrCeD hIm tO", but then the Bad Batch turns around and kill hundreds of other clones in the season who, presumably, have no control over their actions.
It’s kind of been proven throughout the show that everyone in the Bad Batch except Echo don’t really care about any clones who aren’t part of their squad…
What do you mean? They used a heck of a lot of stuns in the first 2 seasons, and only stopped after the Empire replaced clones with TK troopers.
I remember thinking that this show was going to be Commander Cody giving Black Op. Tasks to the Force to carry out. Would've been a good chance to introduce a show from the Imperial perspective for once and not yet another defection story.
Cid: Hry boys, I got a job for yahs.
Hunter: No
Cid: The pay's decent
Hunter: Yes
I do like how Hunter is always a No, But it is worth it for Sid to pester him as they are an elite unit that would cost a fortune to make and train. I feel like the group is still tiring to find out what the hell they can do in this galaxy. seems like they need to find Omega a place and then just fade away or blaze of glory fighting the empire. Curious to see what they do.
Echo having no lines is so accurate
Season 2 is infuriating already because it feels like the Batch are just bumbling about doing nothing important while Crosshair gets an actual story.
Get Boba Fett involved and have him meet Omega; they're the closest thing possible to brother and sister among all the clones.
Bring in Delta Squad from Republic Commando (minus Sev) and have them team up with Crosshair to hunt down the Batch. Have Sev pop up as a grizzled survivor who is working WITH the wookies against the empire.
NAHHHHH we need to have omega get lost again that's always more fun then any story related stuff. A part of me was hoping it would be Echo who got brainwashed or whatever that way he goes away at least we have a SNIPER on the team
If we get a Sev and Wookie team up I will jump in joy
@@vladhunter9269 looks like we had our chance and they skipped it.
Sev is alive, that’s just my belief, and also it would be way cooler if they confirmed that, also doesn’t the episode he show up in take place after the game?
It’s funny how the bad batch and delta squad each have one defector (technically the opposite in the batch’s case I guess)
oKaY hUnTeR got me 😂
The greatest part about this video is that he made one of these for season 2. It's hidden right in this video: after the video is done playing, you can press this looping arrow that says "replay" and a video that describes every episode of season 2 starts!
This aged like fine wine for season 3 lmao
Echo being mentioned but having no substance was too real for me
It hurts how perfectly accurate this is.
Lol love the crosshair voice. It’s sad how formulaic this stuff is
The Part with burnt down the Village murderd the Town's people and destroid all their crops sounds like almost every MINECRAFT player
This is the whole show... all three seasons.
They did this in the finale episode twice
Season 2: some kind of big creature in every goddamn episode...
You could cut like half the run time from this show and it wouldn’t really affect anything. It’s annoying because the clone wars wasn’t structured to have a main plot for the most part so the filler episodes there didn’t really have a downside. But this show is supposed to have a main plot but it gets ignored half the time.
I honestly don’t even remember what the main plot was supposed to be at this point. Maybe that’s why I actually like the Bad Batch.
They wrote out Echo in episode 8 because he had nothing to do 😂
The fact that this still holds up for most of season 2 is diabolical
You're actually on point with the voices, especially on Tech and Crosshair like holy shit
Im so sick of the Parent Student Plotline in every single damn star Wars story.
Not you Andor. You're great.
The lack of Echo's role is just so true
The fact that it’s an Australian accent when they are New Zealanders 😂
1 year later and it really didn't change much.
Oh man this is awesome!!! The voices are so good! Poor Echo--!!! 😂😂😂 Super video!!
Thanks! I was gonna make a joke about how Crosshair and Tech sound pretty much the same, but then I realized that all the clones sound exactly like each other lol
@@corycoogan7448 Haha! 😂 Have you seen the video where the voice actor Dee Bradley Baker talks about each Bad Batch clone? He said Echo is more grumpy-sounding than the others--maybe because he doesn't get as many lines? Haha!
@@CaptainJiffy No I did not but that totally makes sense lol
This video got me to watch bad batch, i just finished season 2.
This can't be more true lmao although that sad finale :(
We’re already 5 episodes in to the show and STILL there’s no visible plot line their following or goal it’s working to. All it’s been are allusions to clones reevaluating Order 66 and that could lead to a clone rebellion; but again, no grand, over-arching plot line that has been revealed yet
You're forgetting the part where the random scary beast monster thing comes in and gets killed off in 30 seconds
Watched both seasons. Still love this video.
Fives died for nothing.
And it’s still true for season two
LMAO I loved the "OK HUNTER!!"
Every part of Omega made me cry laughing and how Hunter still thinks Crosshair is a great guy
I swear, this is so accurate to how the show is structured: The Bad Batch get a job, Omega gets distracted from said job, (while talking about her StRaTeGY) Tech says nerdy stuff, Wrecker wants to blow something up, Crosshair and Hunter have a standoff, *(insert long, drawn-out battle here)* Crosshair claims "i'M dOinG mY dUtY." And Echo does absolutely nothing. The only thing you missed was the fat Trandoshian lady insulting the team and valuing Omega of all people above the rest of them.
Honestly, as someone who has a great love for The Clone Wars, I can't tell you how disappointing this show has been for me so far. I'm very skeptical of S2; from what I've seen, it just looks to be more of the same of what we already saw.
Well said dude! Totally agree. I’ll be sure to include the Trandoshian lady in the next one since she’ll no doubt be in it. Lol
But yeah fingers crossed S2 gets a little bit more deep.
@@corycoogan7448 Agreed. BTW, your Clone voice is actually pretty good!
It’s kinda sad that your the first comment I’ve seen that I agree with
The pilot ep and the scene with the clones destroying kamino were the only 2 positive things I could say about the show
Me and my dad were both rly disappointed on how the show was structured as some repetitive kids show that gets very boring very quickly
Now you know how people felt when Rebels came out
@@JamesHightower18 I thought the Ryloth episodes were pretty great, but yeah, besides the pilot and finale that's about it
TBB summed up in one sentence.
“No, Wait Omega!”
I laughed so hard! Season two is basically the same but without Crosshair
This is hilariously true. I do love the series but it has so many rinse and repeat filler episodes that half the time it doesn't feel like its going anywhere
Ok HuNtEr got me dead on the floor💀
Also worth mentioning the couple times of "We're going to botch this illicit mission because it's the 'right thing to do', despite the fact that our livelihood depends on it and heaven forbid we lapse into low-neutral-anti-hero territory!"
Accurate. Mercenaries and hero’s can interlap but they aren’t the same thing. Yet, the show tried to make them that
I hate how accurate this is. I hate how still accurate this is, lol.
Spot on and great voice acting man! I miss the bad batch, can’t wait for January
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks a lot!
You forgot about Wrecker lifting Gonky.
OKAY HENTER!! 😂😂
The bad batch is really frustrating because there's some really great episodes in there (most recently the crosshair and cody one) but it's burried underneath a mountain of Sid's adventure of the week, a few of those episodes would be fine if the overarching story was progressed a bit more
i should have stayed in the 501st -echo
you missed your chance to throw in the "reackaa" that always killed me
They coulda done so much with the sniper one that I don't even remember, he coulda been such a cool villain
I am disturbed by how accurate this is
Lol, just finished watching the show, and this is a good summary of it
Okay, I loved the show but this was hilarious lmao
Same
no it suxked
@@Juju_Box huh ?
@@Juju_Box They just said they "loved" the show. Technically they didn't say it was "good".
@@besttiger640 He just said the show "suxked". Technically he didn't say it was "bad".
You forgot giant monster attack
😂 so good. Love being able to poke fun at a thing and still enjoy it
Brings me back to the good old days.
@@CyberLou Before the dark times...
@@AndrewAce. Before the "kids-born-post-2005-pronouns-and-woke-shit" era
@@sploderwarrior 😔
yup. i enjoy the majourity of the show (definitely not the garbage pod racing one tho. fuck that boring ass episode), but theres a lot to make fun of lol. its a pretty hollow show, but it is pretty fun
Where's Omega?
*instert chase scene*
HAHAHHAHAHAHAH
Le sigh… instead of Omega squad and Delta squad, we get Omega and the special needs brigade.
🤦♂️
Second season dropped and nothing has changed
I still love this amazing funny video so much.😂
Please make more hilarious videos similar to this or about other Star Wars content. You're great at it, we would love to see more.
Firstly, these impressions are impeccable.
Secondly, I have always wondered how the Bad Batch, a team of elite Clone Troopers famed for their daring and unconventional tactics and battle prowess, with next to zero experience on girls, women, or how to be fathers, reacted and handled it when Omega started puberty.
Don't forget that every episode they face some kind of beast
Aged like a fine wine
I love bad batch but this had me rolling. This is scarily accurate even into season 2
LMAO SAME 😭 poor echo getting disrespected constantly
I’m about to give up on this show too. 😆
A Palpatine cameo will be the saving grace at this point.
Fr, palpatine is like a trump card for star wars these days. Bruh
i hope palpatine nukes omega
@@Toaster_YT omega is the nuke
