JOKER: FOLIE À DEUX Official Trailer

Peter Pan (1953) | “She says you’re a big, ugly girl. Oh. Well, I think she’s lovely.”

yeah yeah i know i usually post silly little anecdotes about the bad batch but how about some real analysis?

people have said it before but truly the only way for this show to have a message and meaning in the end is for it to have a happy (if not that then bittersweet) ending.

the whole point of the show is family, specifically clone force 99/the bad batch as a family. the show literally starts with them accepting omega into their family. throughout the show, this theme of family is repeated. them helping hera syndulla rescue her parents. them helping rex rescue their fellow clones because they're all brothers. phee introducing them to her family on pabu.

star wars has always had a message of love and family, but more often than not, that ends in tragedy. we're all hoping the bad batch will give us that ending where they're all reunited. they'll rescue omega/all escape tantiss in some way, tech will be revealed as cx-2 (i'm a supporter of this theory and for this post i'm going to assume he is cx-2), and they're able to all go and be TOGETHER as a family. what they do after that doesn't matter. they just need to be together.

i can see any of them sacrificing themselves in the finale, but the whole point should be that they're not ALLOWED to. not when they're this close. not when they're a family again. not when crosshair is back. not when they learn tech is alive. not when omega is safe. whoever (likely hunter or echo) tries to sacrifice themselves needs to be held back. because family is the point. because they're not letting ANYONE else pull a plan 99.

the bad batch show might be ending, but it shouldn't be the end of them as a squad. they HAVE to live. because family is the point, because they protect each other, because they're allowed that quiet life of not being soldiers and that time to heal and to join the rebellion if they want to. but if hunter, wrecker, crosshair, and echo die, and tech is either not cx-2 or they can't save him, and omega stays in tantiss forever, it destroys their whole theme that they've spent the whole show developing.

tragic endings and stories are star wars specialty (the prequels, the clone wars, rogue one, andor, hell even rebels and solo to an extent). the bad batch has potential to show us that there is that other central theme of star wars: hope. there's hope for our main characters and that they'll be the ones who show us that not every hero who fights for the rebellion/the republic just faces tragedy. there's hope that omega can grow up in peace. there's hope that hunter can have his quiet life away from being a soldier. there's hope that echo can keep fighting for what he believes in, that crosshair can heal, that tech will live, that wrecker will see all his brothers again.

basically, star wars give us a happy ending to this story of family and hope. we deserve it, the characters deserve it, and the story deserves it.

we are RAPIDLY running out of time for Tech to be miraculously alive, but if it helps anyone as much as it did me, I explained the situation to my mother, who is very well-versed in all things television/trope related, and she believes that Tech has a chance. Falls are very open-ended as far as deaths + with CX-2 still having a missing identity…she thinks there’s a shot.

I’ve watched the trailer so many times. The song in the background, the dancing, the waltz, the costumes??? Two jacked up people falling in love and not caring about anything but each other?? MY SHIT

Ideal scenario actually is for Tech to be CX-2 and when they inevitably get him out of the programming + that helmet, he’s bald. All of the brothers except for Hunter are now bald. Phee laughs her ass off about this (don’t worry, Tech gets revenge when his hair grows back thick and curly, and Phee forgets how to speak for a couple seconds)

Crosshair’s does not grow back. Wrecker, overwhelmingly confident in his bald look, thinks that’s hilarious

Bad Batch in CW, with Crosshair saying ‘no he won’t ! :)’ all gleefully with that shit-eating grin clear under his mask to Wrecker, the whole team being together, family dynamics, please come back to me i miss you

Feeling some emotions regarding them
