Kind of reminds me of that final season of Clone Wars where a few episodes were just complete wastes of time with the characters fricking around not accomplishing anything.
>lore building and character development is filler
Kys
You can have that stuff while also progressing the plot. No reason to keep this shit episodic.
And it is, you are just too stupid to grasp that without endless pew pew lasers.
Are you just REALLY bad at formulating strawmen or are you actually just moronic?
The abundance of meaningless action (especially featuring a giant monster) is one of the central critiques of the show
Like, the Juggernaut sequence last episode was excellent in a vacuum, but it doesn't change the fact that the episode accomplishes essentially nothing in moving the plot
>A show about specialized super commandos in armor with guns has too much action in it REEEE!!!!
Okay, so you're moronic AND bad at strawmen
Flashy meaningless action isn't necessarily a problem until you find yourself rapidly running out of episodes in the last season of your show, but I'm getting the impression that trying to actually get my points across in good faith isn't going to help here
So we actually got some steady dramatic buildup and that pissed you off too? So what you really mean is, you just do not like the show and came here to b***h
lmao homie, the last episode was entirely pointless "pew pew lasers"
the entire juggernaut heist was only to get rampart out, only to find out that he doesn't know shit, only to end on a cliffhanger for the next episode - minimal plot progression, zero character work, zero new or interesting things - shit was just a retread of Rogue One Juggernaut tank prison extraction assault or Mandalorian S2, only there it was done better
I'd say you are trolling, but I highly doubt that.
Have you noticed ever since Mandalorian, all Star Wars works on MMO plot progression now?
It's not a real story, it's characters going to a quest mob, being told to go to X location, pick up Y item, fight some giant monster along the way, take Y item back to unlock Z thing, now you can move on to the next new location. Find other NPC, get special information, they can now go to new location.
Mando season 3 was Dinn wanting to go to a pool, but first he had to get a nav droid, but he had to go find the other mandos, get a special part, go back and fight pirates, take part to npc mechanic, gets droid, can now go to planet, fights droid boss. Unlocks Mando forgiveness. Can now enter Mando camp....
Mandalorian was always a videogame pretending to be a TV show. Fricking Christ, Season 1 was literally about him getting a new armor piece each episode. I was so fricking bored when I watched that shit, and I was bewildered how fricking praised it was.
Season 1 was Din fighting boss mobs and getting loot and upgrading his ATK and DEF the entire time. Season 2 was a quest to get a high level sword.
lmao isn't it all just ST damage control? who gives a shit
Hilariously enough, the Tantiss and the Sith cloning portions are intriguing and tie into the depravity of the Empire due to the fact it involves the clone troopers being experimented upon by a Sheev Approved ™ Scientist pet. And you see just why Rex was starting to create a clone rebellion when they found a few clones who were going to be sent to an unknown location because of the clones' habits of not following their new non-clone/non-jedi superiors.
Hemlock and Tantiss are one of the few high points in Bad Batch.
Any reason why it couldn't have been done on Kamino instead of some boring ass mountain?
everyone knows where kamino is, they needed it to be top secret
....plus its a way to throw in EU shit, as mount tantiss was a thing from the EU that was a big part of the thrawn trilogy
>they needed it to be top secret
Why? The Empire's in charge. They can just make it off-limits to non-VIPs.
>mount tantiss was a thing from the EU that was a big part of the thrawn trilogy
I'm well aware and it was lame as shit there too. It just shows that Zahn sucks at creating imaginative locations. Kamino mogs Weyland easy.
>They can just make it off-limits to non-VIPs.
Yeah, I'm sure THAT will stop people from going, tell people a location is absolutely off limits and is not to be accessible to the open public. I'm sure insurgents will follow the rules to the exact letter and that some VIPs and their guests will be completely loyal to the Empire and not give the secrets away due to them possibly being loyal to some other governmental entity or will give away secrets due to greed or threat of torture.
C'mon anon, I'm positive there are blacksite locations that are completely unknown to just about everyone, except maybe the government leader in real life.
not even Tarkin knows where Tantiss is
its that secret
The Empire BDZ'd Kamino, that's why.
>Boring ass mountain
You just answered why Tantiss was chosen. Nobody knows where some random mountainous wooded planet in the galaxy is, there's probably millions just like it out there. But many know where Kamino is located, thanks to people knowing who the clones are and how important they were.
Only autists care about lore.
Where do you think we are right now?
All that time and instead of animating Son of Dathomir, Dark Disciple and the Boba vs Cad Bane arc, we get the Martez sisters.
>Son of Dathomir, Dark Disciple
We already had these told.
>Boba vs Cad Bane
This is what it should have been.
>We already had these told.
In a comic and a book. Son of Dathomir would've made more sense since it leads right into Siege.
>complaining about having to read
>on the fricking comic board
Comics are for nerds.
I never understood why they wasted an episode with Ahsoka escaping prison, then landing right back in prison at the end, negating the entire episode.
>son of dathomir connects to siege of mandalore, this couldve been told on screen
>dark disciple is a big part of ventress' character (especially now), this couldve been told on screen
>boba vs cad bane is important for BoBF, this couldve been told on screen
even if we didnt get those we still could have gotten
>Bad Batch on Kashyyyk, this is referenced in the show
>Rex and R2 top gun
>Sith Shrine arc
>Crystal Crisis
but no, we get the muttalo sisters because dave wanted to do an underworlds show with them, but because of how shit they were, it was cancelled
frick gayloni for that shit, we couldve had some kino
I feel like petty criminals fricking around in the underworld is almost all Star Wars ever has been with only a few random exceptions. Even a lot of Clone Wars was Anakin and Ahsoka fricking around undercover doing underworld stuff and fighting spice smugglers and gangsters.
Why can't we ever have cool shit with epic battles? Why is it always smugglers and thieves running and hiding from space mafia bosses all the goddamn time?
>Why can't we ever have cool shit with epic battles? Why is it always smugglers and thieves running and hiding from space mafia bosses all the goddamn time?
Because budget. The shit you want is just too expensive to do on the regular on a tv cartoon budget.
I don't really think that's the case, especially with animation compared to say, a live action TV show
Time is by far the scarcer resource, with the fickleness of trends and corporate whims making season renewals an unsure prospect
>Even a lot of Clone Wars was Anakin and Ahsoka fricking around undercover doing underworld stuff and fighting spice smugglers and gangsters.
Because Lucas was fascinated with the criminal underworld element and wanted to do more with it. His scrapped Underworld show was going to be just that.
We already had that with Resistance, and Andor, and Boba Fett, and Mandalorian...and every single movie.
Budget and no Genndy
>we need to waste episode retelling stories that were already told in other media
Your idea is worse than the TBB.
There's nothing wrong with adapting print stuff to screen, especially if it was supposed to be screen media in the first place.
Well they didn't know it was ending and were working on more episodes like the Anakin dual wielding one. (I think they finished that as some special or something right?)
You reposted and I'll use it for AI training.
I'm doing my part!
>dual wielding gunslinger
I meant
This show killed animated Star Wars for me. I had watched everything up until the nothing happens show.
Everything is to just lead to Filioni's discount Heir to the Empire movie.
That book wasn't even good. EU fans just like to suck its dick for being the first major EU book.
I don't understand why this show has been spinning its wheels so much. There's an obvious plot with a clear end point, but they keep wasting time on this "one last job" monster/bad guy of the week shit and it's absolutely fricking the pacing. When the show's on a high, it's pretty high, but the lows are equally low.
>Hurr durr I don't understand what plot progression or character development is
fricking morons
Stfu disneydrone LOL none of this is progressing balls
Last episode literally moved the main plot.
Incidentally and by a tiny margin
Stuff HAPPENS, but it’s disingenuous to pretend there isn’t so much redundancy to this story’s structure
For the nth time this season they’ve gone into a plot “now we can find Tantiss” only to yet again have the end note be “lol I can’t actually tell you where Tantiss is buuuut I know a guy who knows a guy…”
I think the writers thought they'd get 5+ seasons to mess around with, where they believed that the show would be popular enough to warrant 60 episodes. But it's not popular because the writers and showrunners wasted their time on Monster of the week bullshit and Omega treasure hunts, with a hint of all the interesting stuff (during the Dark Times/Imperial Rises era, mind you) in maybe a literal handful of episodes sprinkled spasmodicly throughout each season.
The writers wasted potential and every time it looked like something was actually going to go somewhere and the plot would be turned to something people were actually interested in, it pivoted back to the Wanda Sykes lizard episodes once again.
>I think the writers thought they'd get 5+ seasons to mess around with, where they believed that the show would be popular enough to warrant 60 episodes
Writers need to let go of their egos and expect that every season may be their last. Meaning, every finale has to have an actual ending. Treat the next season as if it's a movie sequel rather than another season in a tv show. Each season is its own mini-series. That way, nobody's wasting any time.
>batch+rampart episode tomorrow
>most likely another emerie episode next week
>hour long finale (I hope)
plotlines connecting up for the finale seems alright?
they're gonna find out where tantiss is this episode (I hope) so the pacing seems fine?
>Sev is back
>Scorch is showing emotion
>Boss carrying Omeeguh over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes while they cool guy walk away from an explosion
This is what Clonegays see when they reach the gates of Heaven
But we can't have nice things. Therefore, Scorch will remain Hemlock's little obedient wienersleave until the very end, where he gets mooked by Omega like an incompetent jobber.
like how you said nobody would call scorch by his name?
>Boss carrying Omeeguh over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes while they cool guy walk away from an explosion
thats not omeeguh though
Wot?
I was originally going to joke that I finally understood "female artist energy" because the way Omega is being carried has a distinct GIWTWM vibe
But I'm pretty damn sure that IS Omega. You've got the Tantiss outfit, the hairstyle, and looks quite small. Are you saying it's actually someone else?
its Omeeguh's sister, remember?
>only to find out that he doesn't know shit
"but I might know a way around that"-Rampart
why lie anon?
Is there actual confirmation that it's supposed to be Emerie? I don't believe you
yeah
https://twitter.com/neetnyan101/status/1779893583413461288
>>only to find out that he doesn't know shit
>"but I might know a way around that"-Rampart
>why lie anon?
Lie where? He did not know how to get to Tantiss. And we, as the audience, didn't learn shit either. Entire episode was dedicated to getting Rampart out and setting up a cliffhanger for the next episode. The bulk of the episode was meaningless, consequence free, stakes free action. I fricking mentally checked out almost immediately, because I know that the characters can't get hurt and they can't fail. There was no tension, no character work, no conflict, nothing. Rampart could have been rescued fricking off screen. One can skip that last episode entirely, and just know that Rampart was rescued in the recap. You wouldn't miss those pointless action filler scenes one bit. The entire point of the episode was Juggernaut tank action, nothing else. Which is a waste of time for me. I no longer care for action for the sake of action, because I am not a child, and I demand more. I am not impressed with *just* pew pew pew. I need something to latch onto. And waiting an entire week for *that* was fricking disappointing.
>guys they should find tantiss instantly
Were you born this much of a disingenuous little shit or did you have to work up to it?
They HAD a lead at the start of the episode to just ask Rampart. They HAD a lead the episode before that putting a tracker on the agent's ship when Omega is taken. They HAD
lead when they captured a clone assassin. When all you HAVE is leads that go nowhere, what you ACTUALLY HAVE IS A WASTE OF FRICKING TIME
>They HAD a lead at the start of the episode to just ask Rampart
and they did, and rampart says that he may be able to help them, despite he himself not knowing where tantiss is
you ask for followups on leads, and when they're done (as thats most likely what the next episode will be about) you complain?
>Guys they should find Tantiss and rescue Omega by episode 2!
Zoomer shit and binge format has fricking ruined a generation.
Substituting my actual argument with gibberish you made up yourself has not become an actual point since the last time you tried it, homie
>Guys they should find Tantiss and end the season by the end of the first episode, I hate having to wait for anything!
Have you tried growing the frick up?
Or going back to tiktok?
You're a stupid moron. We won't get to Tantiss in the new episode too. And in the next one. Which is why the last episode was pointless shit annoying filler, because it was literally "well, I don't know how to get to Tantiss, but I know a guy..." and it cuts. It's a fricking cliffhanger. Rampart's rescue details were irrelevant and not important. Just more boring, generic action sequences to fill time. Who gives a crap? It's filler. The episode where they actually are gonna search for Tantiss will be tonight's and the next one. And also, speaking of which, episode two was fricking pointless. Remember that Hunter and Wrecker actually got a Sector name from that destroyed Imperial facility with slither vines? Yeah, that was never brought up again. Oh, and also, remember when Crosshair and Omega won 30k credits on that planet? That was never brought up again. They could have paid Fennec and we could have avoided that garbage ass episode with alligators in space florida entirely. Speaking of which, that garbage episode was just like that last episode: we spend an entire episode on dogshit irrelevant boring mission for an NPC only for them to tell "well, I actually don't have what you need, but I know a guy (Ventress)" and it ends. And then in the episode where they returned to the Outpost planet, they were also searching for Tantiss, downloaded something from the console, and nothing came out of it, again. This show just wastes your fricking time. It fricking sucks and it's a good thing it's finally ending.
So what you are saying is, they are going to solve the problem and save the day in the final episode at the climax of the story? Like all of scripted series ever since the beginning of storytelling?
What the frick should they have done? Rescue Omega by episode 3, and then move on to something else entirely, drop every single plot point brought up in the last season and go do something else? Or solve 100% of everything by episode 7 and then spend the remaining episodes of the season fricking around doing nothing because the plot fricking ended?
A climax is still a climax, but there's something to be said about how you use the time in between so that you don't spend the bulk of the runtime accomplishing nothing and stuffing every meaningful development into the last few minutes, man
FOR STARTERS THEY COULD TRY USING SOME OF THIS DEAD FRICKING AIR TO GIVE ECHO A FRICKING PURPOSE FOR EXISTING
I MADE A JOKE ABOUT HIM BEING PEAK IRRELEVANT DURING TRUTH AND CONSEQUENCES AND THEY STILL HAVEN'T LET HIM DO FRICKING ANYTHIIIIIIIING
>Guys they should put MY favorite character in the show in every scene because I have the action figure!!
Maybe they don't need 16 episodes then if they don't have enough story to tell, you stupid homosexual moron. It's been clear that this show is spinning its wheels and just wastes time. And also, where the frick is Echo? They literally wrote him out of the show and did NOTHING with his character. God, this show is so fricking moronic.
Woah, raging over Echo-being-uselessmind
Maybe fans like a reasonable amount of episodes instead of typical 6 episode seasons that streaming services usually have.
Rampart telling us our Tantiss coordinates are in another castle is absolutely functionally the same as him not knowing shit. It still means that the episode STARTED with the Batch needing to come up with a new plan to find a lead on the location, and it ENDED with the Batch needing to come up with a plan to find a lead
Exactly what is building up here? The universe is in a fricking static state while the Batch bumble their way through failure after failure
Omega isn't about to be killed and her brain scooped out in a few days for Sheev's immortality juice, there isn't an overwhelming force of CXultra agents closing in on Rex and Echo, there's nothing but fricking STALLING
>and it ENDED with the Batch needing to come up with a plan to find a lead
but they have a lead?
>Exactly what is building up here? The universe is in a fricking static state while the Batch bumble their way through failure after failure

...fricking moronic zoomers that have no idea what dramatic buildup is
So you are just never going to admit that scripted tv might be a little too much for you. Maybe you should stick to tiktok and have instant gratification in 30 seconds over and over again. Having to watch 8 episodes of something seems to be just breaking your brain a little too much here.
>doesn't actually explain what buildup is actually happening and just jumps to ad hominems
Lol
Lmao
Seethe less, substantiate your arguments more
>creators hype up next episode, again
>it's gonna be another nothing burger, again
>morons on Xitter post "OOOHHH I AM SO READY FOR MY HEART TO BE RIPPED", again
Can't wait for this show to be over already.
Is there a new episode teaser or something? I don't use Twitter so I have no clue
As long as Omega dies at the end, I'll be happy
>Only 3 episodes left
WAIT WHAT?
I KNEW WE WERE PROBABLY RUNNING OUT OF TIME BUT I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THAT BAD
PLEASE SAY SIKE
should i have skipped last week
no, the action was good
i'll double up tmrw then
so Filoni went from George Lucas successor to basically a slave of disney, sad, at least i wish he stopped retconning shit
The man ran out of ideas a long damn time ago.
All he does now is regurgitate the same few plot points over and over again with the same few characters he invented 17 years ago.
>Clones, Ahsoka, Ventress, Hondo, Fennec, Bo Katarn, Sabine, dark saber
>Big animal that is immune to blasters
>Evil genetic engineering plot
>Pikes sell drugs, hutts do criminal shit
>side character is force sensitive now
Just shuffle all that shit up and you have the last 5 Disney+ shows.
>Bo Katarn
Has this particular typo generated any art in the past?
i wish kyle was canon again, actually no i don't want that, Filoni is going to ruin him
Never wish your favorite EU character is ever made canon, just enjoy them from the past and let it go.
>Ventress
he didn't create that character be he sure acts like he did
>side character is force sensitive now
this is his worst offense, at this point everyone is going to be able to use the force
I don't know, I'm real sick of
>Random animal appears and attacks the characters, no blaster hurts it
that has been done to death.
Some episodes get all the points at the same time
>Ahsoka and Rex discover an evil genetic engineering plot, but first need to go undercover and deal with the Pikes, they rescue Hondo and find the dark saber, just before they have to get away from a big alien caterpillar that blasters do not work on, then they find out some other side guy was a force sensitive all along
Every star wars Disney+ series is just the same old shit every time now
Man, we really need a "being moronic on purpose" report option, lol
It's funny how in 48 episodes of supposedly "character driven" show, only Crosshair got a character arc, considering he only had TWO (2) fricking episodes in Season 2. But even he has become bland and boring in S3 as soon as they escaped Tantiss. Just became Omega's little wienersleave b***h. All the other characters are still one-dimensional archetypes they've been since the beginning. Echo was straight up written out of the show, because they literally didn't know what to do with him and how to write him. Could not even be bothered to give him any fricking lines in the S1 finale when Kamino got nuked, even though he defended Kamino with Fives and it was his home, it's where he became an ARC trooper. Couldn't be bothered to have Rex and Echo talk about Fives. It is also funny how they said Rex is off-screen because they don't want it to become a Rex show, and he could easily overtake it with his clone rebellion plot, but this show is about muh family and about Bad Batch characters. Yet they did jack shit with them.
Can I offer you a nice egg in this trying time?
At least Cid hasn't come back
>even he probably didn't know how bad it really would be for Echo
I miss Hondo... Hondo that would be okay with killing a bunch of kids and sell Ahsoka into sex slavery one day because it was profitable, and help the heroes the next day... Not the Rebels Hondo, who was just basically unambiguously good guy.
I think the ending is just gonna explain how Palpatine magically survived Return of the Jedi and come back in Rise of Skywalker. They're trying to make clones with high mediclorian counts or something.
