#but can we show the man a mediocrum of respect?

[alittlegreeen]

Listen I know this is old news but the thought crossed my mind again with the new season coming out and its been eating at me

You know how, in season one, Tech refers to Echo as "more machine than man" in the medical bay? And all of his fans were chomping at the bit to explain it away? "It's just how he talks!" "He was making an objective observation!" "He couldn't tell he was being rude!" "That's not an insulting statement!"

You know where else that phrase has been used in star wars before? A long time before it was used for Echo? Obi Wan Kenobi uses it to describe Darth Fucking Vader in the original trilogy. You know, as far as wider star wars goes, the face of the dark side? The guy whose transformation from a jedi to a sith was most visibly marked by him being grievously injured and put in a prosthetic suit?

Whether or not, in universe, Tech would have had good or neutral intentions with that statement, the writers of the show are capable of understanding the connotation there. Did they seriously decide to use the same phrase for Echo, an objectively kind and sensible person that tries to do the right thing, with Anakin Fucking Skywalker, a goddamn sith apprentice, who, at the time, was The Bad Guy half in charge of an empire that he could use to enact his Evil Whims, just because they're both amputees?!? The writing for the bad batch seems to be overall dogshit but good god.

#listen the guys kind of an asshole #no amount of shitty autistic coding or whatever is going to change that #its just so obvious hes being at least rude here #i still keep seeing that phrase floating around here for echo and. are yall serious? #yall cant come up with anything better to say about him? #i know most of yall just want to fuck the “defective” smart guy #but can we show the man a mediocrum of respect? #dont even get me started on how he treats wrecker #actually dont cause i dont remember that many specific details about this show #but he would not get off his ASS last season #star wars #the bad batch #tbb #echo #tech #obi wan kenobi #anakin skywalker #darth vader
