#cid the bad batch

[talesfrommedinastation]

My redneck neighbor Doug's interpretations on various 'Bad Batch' characters: Side Character Edition!

I'm chuffed that everyone thinks my neighbor Doug is funny: he really is a gem. I had no idea we'd bond over Star Wars and crappy weather, but here we are.

Naturally, I had to bother him about other characters that showed up on The Bad Batch, so, here we go!

Phee Genoa: Ah-ha, that there’s Church Lady. You know her, she’s got a big square in her pocketbook and you don’t know if it’s pound cake or a brick, because the Lord saves but He can’t help you in the alley when you’re in Treme and the streetlights just turned on. She has two ex-husbands who are both preachers and they turned to Jesus because they are so scared of Church Lady in court. 

(So I guess he’s saying Phee has raw WHO DAT energy, for my Saints fans out there)

Cid: Looking at this fat lizard bitch makes me hungry. I call that one Houma-BBQ because I’m guessing we could feed a whole parish fire station based on the size of her tail. I wish she’d shut up, she reminds me of my mother-in-law. 

Cad Bane: Homeboy looks like a Sesame Street character who teaches Big Bird about concealed carry laws. I call him Gun Safety Muppet. I don’t like him because he shot my Wife and I’s Boyfriend on the other show and his robot needs to be tossed into a wood chipper. 

(“I’m not gay, but Jenny and I…well, we would make an exception to that man. You ever see ‘Deadwood’? Man is fine. I’m not GAY.”)

Fennec Shand: That’s The Chick that’s in Everything. She was on ER and Boba Fett and I think a Marvel show too? I like her. Hope she kills Gun Safety Muppet and hurls his blue ass into a dumpster. 

Howzer: That’s my niece’s boyfriend, Jorge. We all love Jorge, nice guy, owns an auto repair shop and always remembers plates and napkins for the cookouts after church.

Gregor: Jorge’s cousin, Manny. Met him once at Christmas in Miami, nice guy, only drinks brown liquor and insists everyone arm wrestle him. But he’s got a good job as a PE teacher, we respect education, come on now. 

The Martez Sisters: Aw, man, it’s Jorge’s Unemployed Sisters. I hate it when they show up for Christmas and get into fights with my momma. 

(“Doug, you know they’re not related to the clones at all, right?” “Says who?” “The PLOT?” “Eh, they’ll change it, just watch.”)

Mayday: Aw, I liked this guy so much! That’s Sassy Park Ranger, he’s the type that gives you your camping permits, warns you about the bears, and then is all disappointed when you don’t properly stow your food and the bears destroy the campsite. I need to go back to Little River Canyon, that place was pretty. 

Lt. Nolan: THAT STUPID BLOND JACKASS. (Doug was so enraged by the guy he had nothing else to add. Damn.)

Senator Chuchi: Why does this lady make me want a blue slushie? I’ll call her the Sonic Special. They need more Sonics here in the north, they really do. 

Cody: That’s Obi-Wan’s Boyfriend, he’s sad all the time. We know why. (Confirmed that Doug is a Codywan shipper and I don’t know what to do about that)

Royce Hemlock: Is that Jimmy Neutron after he grew up and became one of those guys that’s on the internet all the time writing creepy things? It’s Jimmy-the-Scientist. He looks like the type of person dogs get weird around.

Rex: That's Rex. He's a king. Respect him.

Hey pookieesss 🤭

Happy Final Bad Batch Eve. I’m totally not crying.

All day I’ve seen final goodbyes and sad edits. And so to help ease the nerves and anxiety, I come here with some hopefully funny shenanigans. Featuring my beloved Mami again.

My mother has very little knowledge on Star Wars (which relatable, im still learning). And so I’ve asked for her to give me her thoughts on The Bad Batch characters!! I call this ✨ pre-game comfort ✨. Writing this two hours before midnight (it’s 10pm where I live).

Enjoy <33 and everyone thank my beloved mother!! (Spanish lines will be translated, blue print is me)

“I already told you, Rambo.”

“Was he ever shirtless?”

“Unfortunately no.”

“Damn.”

“He’s a 7/10 though.”

“That’s the one who died, right?”

“Pobrecito.” (Poor thing.)

“Cómo se llama?” (Whats his name?)

“Tech.”

“Ahh okay. He died the same way Bucky Barnes died.”

“Bucky Barnes didn’t die though. He came back as the winter soldier.”

“Exactly. And who’s that mystery clone guy?”

“I think that mystery clone is Tech.”

(Guys she supports our delusions.)

I’m typing this on my phone at the moment, and for some reason, tumblr isn’t letting me type under pictures and it’s literally annoying me and I’m too lazy to made separate posts, but stay tuned. But I might make another version on my tiktok 🤭

ANYWAYS

Moving onto Crosshair

“He reminds me of your dad. Bald and tall.”

(I showed my mom the scene of Crosshair sitting by himself in the cafeteria)

“Ay pobrecito.”

Moving onto Wrecker

“He reminds me of Drax. From guardians of the galaxy.”

“I think he would like Pitbull.”

“MR WORLDWIDE!”

“I literally love him.”

“Quién? Wrecker or Pitbull?” (Quién means who)

“Wrecker.”🤭

“Estas loca.” (You’re crazy.)

Moving onto Echo

“What happened to him?! Why does he look gray?”

“He needs to eat some red meat. Get some blood in that skin. That’s some low iron.”

“Yo le daría carne asada.”(I’d give him carne asada.) [steak]

“Echo? Like the movie Earth To Echo. I like that movie.”

Moving onto Omega (my literal daughter)

“She looks like her name would be Estella. Or Estrella.” (Estrella means Star in Spanish)

“I like Omega. It’s a cute name.”

Moving onto Phee

“I like her, she’s voiced by Wanda Sykes. I like Wanda Sykes, she’s funny as hell.”

“She really liked Tech.”

“She and Tech deserved better.”

“In my mind, Tech is not dead, he’s happily married to Phee.”

“You’re delusional.”

“I know.”

“Pobrecita, she didn’t see him around.”

Moving onto Cid

“Isn’t that the puta that snitched them out?”

(Puta means bitch)

“Yeah.”

“Hm. She’s a witch for that.”

BONUS:

CAPTAIN REX✨✨

“…”

“…”

“Que guapo.” (How handsome.)

“…”

“RIGHTT.”

“But he’s a captain?”

“Yeah.”

“Oh no. I can’t go cheating on my Captain America. America’s ass. He’s the only Captain in my life.”

“He can be your space Captain. Space’s ass.”

“Space’s ass.”

“Space’s ass.”

OKAY THANK YOU FOR READING THIS 🙏🏽🙏🏽PRAYERS FOR THE FINAL EPISODE IM SCARED GUYS WE NEED A HAPPY ENDING 😭 😭 🙏🏽 I NEED THEM ALL TO BE WELL AND OKAY AND SAFE OR ELSE I’LL BE A MILITARY WIFE IN MOURNING

Tech did NOT want to be the racer.

Yes, he pulled off a stellar performance utilizing his exceptional piloting skills in a sport he found fascinating, but he did not want to. He wasn't showing off. He wasn't proving a point. He had to race, and he made that decision on his own. This was Tech being the hero for all the right reasons.

It was clear from the moment Millegi spoke of forfeiting and Cid began wringing her hands that Tech was making a difficult decision. The sport was dangerous and he had only a beginner's knowledge of the track and racing craft, but he knew that he was the only one with the power to save all their lives from a powerful gangster. There was no excitement in his face, only resolve.

Even when he won there was no joy apparent on his features. He wasn't happy. He was relieved. He could have easily been killed, and his death would have meant Wrecker and Omega's deaths as well. When they got Cid back, he was not eager to accept her flimsy words of thanks. She had put them all in a dangerous position merely for her own profit and he was not about to let her downplay that in her usual way.

At the very end of the episode, it becomes clear what is most important to Tech. He puts his hand on Omega's shoulder and sends her a small smile. A moment later, he gives another happy little grin to Wrecker. It's obvious he would do anything to ensure the safety of his family and he is happy he was able to do this for them.

Season 3 episode 1: Phee beats the crap out of Cid for 30 minutes

[you-see-something-strange-here]

no but wrecker’s expression every time cid ups their percentage is so cute. he’s like “oo 35%!” then looks at hunter who is not happy and goes right back to scowling and crossing his arms

[autumnwoodsdreamer]

was not expecting to learn Cid’s full name today…

[themistymountainscold]

i couldn't help but notice how much happier hunter is now he's ghosting cid. echo is going to be so proud of him for it too. that bitch exhausted the both of them.

Bracket 1, round 1, poll 12:

Ugh, I really love Cid. But now, this ep hinting her of being sus. Don't do it!

Some thoughts about The Bad Batch S2 Ep4 - Faster

I’ve really loved this episode, some fresh air (spoilers below)

¿Tech? ¿Just Tech? Yes! And he f***ing deserved this ep! And more, in my opinion (we saw another scene with him and Omega talking alone, so...).

Anyway, I would say that I start to see a pattern with this ep and ep2. These clones, especially Tech, who is the "intellect” of the group, have spent their entire (short) lives in a war. They haven’t seen or known anything else (always the mission). Except now.

First with Romar and the Serennian culture, and now with the podrace, Tech is stepping out of his comfort zone. He smiles a lot in this episode and I think, for the first time, he's accepting a compliment as it should be. I'm so happy for him!

Another interesting thing is that relationship between Cid and Millegi. What a surprise! I’ve loved Millegi character (especially voice and design) and I wonder if he’ll return in future eps. I wanna know Cid’s past! And that final warning is so well done. Now we will all doubt Cid at the key moment (not me, I believe in her!).

The Bad Batch + Text Posts

[eclec-tech]

Anyone else think that "transporting fifty cases of nerf nuggets" might mean more than Cid let on? Given the way she has a tendency to leave out vital information, I'd be more inclined to believe Echo and Hunter were transporting fifty cases of thermal detonators--aka something that can turn a nerf into nuggets.

With her, you never know.

[justchandlr]

thinking about how much I love the villains of the bad batch because their motives aren't just evil for the sake of evil, but something more like:

"how the fuck is this gonna affect my funding"

(especially you tarkin)

[you-see-something-strange-here]

Hunter…you HAVE to leave Cid she is so toxic -

[here-comes-the-moose]

Tech is and was always Cid’s #1 hater. It’s lucky for her that he was dead when she sold out Omega because he absolutely would have fucked her up I said what I said.
