Echo and Crosshair's dynamic is basically:
Crosshair after anything™️: well that sucked
Echo: cry my a river, bitch
Echo: this was the worst mission ever
Crosshair: excuse you, fuckface, you were graced with MY presence the whole time
Echo:
Crosshair:
Echo: this was The Worst mission ever.
Thank you and goodnight

Bad Batch Season Three Spoiler Tag List
Since a lot of people won't be able to see the episodes right away, PLEASE use spoiler tags on your posts. Don't just write "spoiler". To make it easy, here's a list of spoiler tags I've seen on preseaon postings. Just copy and paste them into your tags so no one sees anything about the show until they're ready!
Literally highlight whichever list you want from the following and paste it into "add tags". It's how I added every single tag here to the end of this post in less than five seconds.
It really is that easy to avoid ruining the show for someone! 😊
Here are the very common ones. Please use these:
#tbb spoilers
#the bad batch spoilers
#bad batch spoilers
#tbb season three spoilers
#tbb season 3 spoilers
#the bad batch season three spoilers
#the bad batch season 3 spoilers
These are less common, but I have seen them come up:
#spoilers tbb
#spoilers the bad batch
#sw tbb spoilers
#star wars tbb spoilers
#sw the bad batch spoilers
#star wars the bad batch spoilers
If you want to tag your post so people DO see it:
#sw tbb season three
#sw tbb season 3
#tbb season three
#tbb season 3
#sw the bad batch season three
#sw the bad batch season 3
#star wars tbb season three
#star wars tbb season 3
#star wars the bad batch season three
#star wars the bad batch season 3

(Very cool Marauder divider by @ve-ti-ver!)

As promised, my commentary on Hunter.... to the people that like him, im sorry.
Spoiler warnings and the like, this is pretty negative aside from like maybe three sentences?? Feel free to leave you're own opinions on this too ofc !!! >:)
I dont like Hunter.
Actually, that's not entirely true, I liked him in TCW season 7, when he was that silly man who fucked droids around the place, took no shit, and loved his brothers. I like the Hunter who, not putting this nicely, had a personality.
This is not a dig on him as a character, it's a dig on how he was handled, writing wise
Listen, I totally get that the "rugged-man-adopts-a-star-child" trope is popular, and I do LOVE that trope, really I do- I just don't really think it was done that well here? It's bothered me since s1 of the Bad Batch, and I don't think it's going to get any better this season....
My only real problem with the writing inconsistency of Hunter being an older brother of three to "Omega this, Omega that" and while I agree childcare is SUPER difficult at the best of times, Hunter had four brothers who were equally capable of taking care of Omega, too. It just never sat right with me that taking care of her became his ENTIRE personality
Hes a soldier, who despite being completely out of his element, had a routine he strictly followed for the whole war. Yet he seemed to completely forget about that ?? Stressed or not stressed, that worn in routines and LIFELONG LESSONS should not have left his head as quickly as they seemed to.
The most obvious and frustrating example of the oversimplification of Hunter's character is with Crosshair. I cannot even BEGIN to describe my anger when it comes to Hunter and Crosshair. It mainly stems from the way he just FORGETS his brother is with the Empire. Conveniently never bringing it up unless someone else did it first.
As the oldest sibling and squad leader, I personally think Hunter should have been the one to bring him up. It should not have had to be specifically mentioned by another character for Hunter to discuss it. He loves his brothers, he loved Crosshair, broody or not, he should have brought it up AT LEAST once, imo.
We also see this complete disregard for Crosshair AGAIN in s3, now that we have seen Hunter looking for Omega and not ONCE mentioning Crosshair. Has he forgotten that they were originally going to find Crosshair??? That they never actually FOUND their brother ??????? Annoyed me so much, tbh.
What else annoyed me was the singular language he used during the whole episode. "She's part of our squad." "Hemlock took SOMEONE from us." He's completely and utterly disregarding the OTHER TWO SIBLINGS that the Empire took away from him !!!!! It genuinely frustrates me so much.
I know I'm DEFINITELY nit-picking here, but even when Hunter looked to Tech's goggles, it was in a "He should've been here to do this." Way, not a "He should be here." Way. That's his brother, who died looking for another that Hunter has forgotten.
Hunter's tunnel vision is probably one my least favourite things about the Bad Batch, if I dare even MENTION that- and I love this show. It means so much to me, but I just can't handle this particular part of it...
I have so SO much anger directed towards the treatment of Hunter by the writers. I want the Hunter who was devoted to his WHOLE family, who fought for ALL of them, who would have NEVER allowed Crosshair to leave in the first place. Give me that Hunter back.
(Saying this- I do not mind Hunter and Omega's father/daughter and brother/sister relationship !!! I do really enjoy it- in small amounts. The fact that Hunter became nearly an extention of Omega really just- threw me off his whole character, really)
I specifically pick to ignore this when I'm making anything. Hunter has been a sergeant of three idiots(named endearingly) for the entirety of the war. One child who wanders around should not have taken up 100% of Hunter's attention, ESPECIALLY when he was surrounded and supported. It just bothers me, idk
Anyway, thats my rant !!! Back to some positives soon, promise !! I just had to get this off my chest, it's been BOTHERING me.
