Sibling moments in the Bad Batch that live rent free in my head
S1E15 "Return to Kamino"

Alright babes, if you've been along on TBB ride before, you know these next two are tension filled extravaganzas. The "sibling moments" are definitely going to be more on the hurt/emotional side, but we're gonna get through it together!
The tension between Hunter and Crosshair is supreme sibling angst. They're both so hurt by the other and so mad but have the literal emotional IQ of a 10 year old and are so bitter
"They'll still come for you" dripping with venom with the pause and pointed look back
Also wonder if he feels slighted at Hunter explaining the squad knowing it'd be a trap - Crosshair has predicted their every move during each of their encounters, of course he knows they'll know it's a trap. I don't think this was malicious by Hunter but I think Crosshair could take it that way
Echo taking on the role of distracting anxious sis and keeping her hands busy
"If I go any lower, we will be in the water" Tech just listen to your sister
"Never doubted you for a second kid!" Wrecker is so supportive of everyone and especially Omega ๐Ÿ˜ญ
Tech is so stoked about the tube system ๐Ÿ˜‚
"You, uh, alright?" ECHO NOTICING OMEGA'S DEMEANOR AND TRYING HIS DARNDEST TO COMFORT HER STAHP IT
Echo's look up at Tech and Wrecker when Omega deflects ๐Ÿ˜ญ
Hunter constantly glances at the stormtrooper walking with him and Crosshair cause he wants to be alone with Crosshair so badly to knock him on his skull and try to knock some sense into him
Literally, his eyes only narrow when they go on the stormtrooper. Even when he faces Crosshair and keeps his Sergeant face, his eyes soften each time they land on Cross
Hunter's eyes are literally pleading with Crosshair
Dear god these rewatches and detail catches are going to be the death of my heart
"They'll come to us. They don't leave their own behind. Most of the time" HUNTER IS STARING DOWN AND TO THE SIDE WITH SHAME IN HIS EYES WHILE CROSSHAIR SAYS THIS
Hunter now doesn't give a fuck if the stormtroopers hear him, he's in desperation mode
"Hm. And I did" said while the same score that was used during the platform scene in "The Outpost" makes me want to throw myself off the roof now that I've realized this
This has turned into a Hunter and Crosshair analysis instead of sibling moments so sorry
"Is that true?" "How could I possibly know that?" said with an eye roll. Iconic
Hunter's attempt at trying to reason with Crosshair, his eyes are so soft the whole time ๐Ÿ˜ญ
Wrecker's amused and excited "Oho, he's waiting"
"Welp, guess you were wrong about that" at Tech thinking they were expected to come in the main entrance and not the lift BUT CROSSHAIR KNOWS HIS BROTHERS AND KNOWS WHAT THEY'LL DO
Hunter's shock and pain when Crosshair says "You weren't loyal to me"
Crosshair's entire speech is a desperate sibling needing his brothers back
"Omega belongs with us" when Hunter says "us" he doesn't turn his head to indicate the group behind him and himself, he leans towards Crosshair, emphasizing the word and widening his eyes like he's trying to drive the point that Omega belongs with the Batch and that includes Crosshair aka Crosshair belongs with them too
Tech noticing the pucks, elbowing Wrecker, and they both lower their shoulders slightly - that's a sign of trust
"Why would we trust you?" Hunter doesn't say this aggressively. He's in a casual position, his body sideways to Crosshair. His stance is not of action but observation. At this point, he feels no actual threat from Crosshair, and that line is a test
"Don't become my enemy." "Crosshair, we never were" SOMEBODY SEDATE ME ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ
COORDINATED BATTLE SCENE COORDINATED BATTLE SCENE AND THEY FALL INTO STEP LIKE THEY'VE NEVER BEEN APART
Honestly, what sibling pairing hasn't had to solve their issues by body slamming each other to the floor
So many pointed looks between Hunter and Crosshair trying to size each other up and figure out where they stand. They want to be on each other's side so badly
Hunter's face is so desperate during his final plea to Crosshair
The shock on Hunter and in Tech's eyes when Cross says he removed his chip ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ
Waist high hugs from Omega
Hunter immediately checking if there's a chip scar on Cross ๐Ÿ˜ญ
