#i make fun of Baatar for being a sinp but he's actually a really wrll written character

Tlok injecting a tragic backstory into Kuvira offscreen while Baatar Jr was going through it throughout the entire season is really funny

Like not to say Baatar is a conplete victim innocent who did nothing wrong because he's a terrible person but he was at least having his little moments of trying to free himself from his family/father's shadow, showing off his loyalty and attachment to Kuvira, newfound detachment from Zaofu, yet still clearly caring for his family in some capacity (like trying to stop the machine fron firing when it would hit Opal) and then going through an absolutely BRUTAL betrayal and being hit with a landslide of guilt. Like if elaborated on that would be something to sink your teeth in.

Instead we get Kuvira acting like a robot for the entire show and then having a mental breakdown in the last episode with a tragic backstory revealed offscreen.
