I know it's been said before but it's so strange that the B:tAS writers felt they had to make up a "real" name for Harley Quinn that sounded like Harley Quinn (the way Pamela Isley sounds a bit like Poison Ivy) but what they came up with sounds less like a real name than Harley Quinn.

like "Harleen Quinzel" sounds like a name Harley Quinn would make up as a cover, the joke being that it sounds silly and implausible because she's a ditz. Indeed, the first time I think it comes up, in "The Man Who Killed Batman," she's passing herself off as a lawyer - and also showing for the first time that she can act like an intellectual, composed professional, so her ditziness is at least partly a performance too - so it would be reasonable for the audience to think it's a name she made up for the occasion.

#b:tas #harley quinn #this episode is amazing by the way #harley plays 'amazing grace' on the kazoo at batman's mock funeral #it's very soulful #that lawyer scene? she makes a dick joke via latin with a completely straight face #which is presumably how it got past s&p #but yeah that name #feels like a completely unforced error #she's not a heritage character with established things they had to work with #they made her from scratch!

I have seen exactly 1 episode of Blue Eye Samurai and I am gobsmacked by how amazing it is. Mizu is already my everything. I am almost never so deeply invested so quickly in any media. I am obsessed. If the rest of the show is consistent in quality with the first episode then this show is Arcane level incredible, and I do not say that lightly.

#please DO NOT spoil me #i am trying to savour the season #and i am PICKY about my shows #i can critique tv all day and that episode just has me amazed and enraptured #the characters the animation the lighting the perspective the scale the action the emotional impact the everything there is so much to love #blue eye samurai #blue eyed samurai #this is the also when I make my romantic subplot oracle prediction that a triad is on the way (hopefully small scale and slowburn)#and as of now it really only works if this show is at least 2 seasons long— howEVER … mizu x taigen x akemi #mizu x taigen #mizu x akemi #taigen x akemi #mizu x taigen x akemi #i don’t really care about taigen x akemi but add mizu to the mix plus a zuko type arc for taigen and akemi as a lord/leader and oop it works #mizu/akemi #mizu/taigen #taigen/akemi #mizu/akemi/taigen #mizu blue eye samurai #look at me #one episode in and so confident about everything #sigh

It took 2 people to fully convince Crosshair to do a 180 on the Empire - but neither of those people were Bad Batch members.

They couldn't be. What would a squad of defective clones who had been disobeying orders since day 1 know about loyalty to an institution determined to establish order for the good of the galaxy? What would they know about finding purpose in being "good soldiers"?

Now, I DO think the seeds of Crosshair's eventual defection were planted by his brothers. Hunter pointing out that "Blind allegiance makes you a pawn" and then telling Crosshair "All you'll ever be to them is a number" are statements that are proven later to be true. But it takes Cody and Mayday to drive the lessons home.

Cody and Mayday share several characteristics that place them in unique positions to influence Crosshair:

Both are regs who accepted and befriended Crosshair - Cody says he specifically asked for Crosshair for the mission, and Mayday is upfront and friendly to Crosshair right from the start. (Contrast this to the other regs getting up to move tables when Crosshair sits to eat, or the other clone troopers who walk past Crosshair to get onto the shuttle without even sparing him a glance.)

Both are commanders. (I believe Crosshair ultimately respects authority for the most part: even when he was arguing with and challenging Hunter in "Aftermath," he still deferred to Hunter's orders until his inhibitor chip was intensified and he was then promoted to commander.)

Both are loyal soldiers who have served the Empire well - again, these regs are still commanders even under the new government. And we all know how important loyalty to the Empire is to Crosshair at this point.

Both save Crosshair's life during their missions.

In short, both are regs, but they are still soldiers Crosshair can quickly identify with and trust.

I think it's key that Crosshair encountered Cody before Mayday, though. And despite their similarities, both soldiers drive home different points.

CODY

Cody is one of the few regs we know Crosshair already respected - and still respects, given that Crosshair almost smiles when he recognizes him.

(Some proof in case it isn't apparent: Crosshair goes from frowny face...

...to relaxed almost-happy-if-you-squint-just-right face)

Anyway, while Cody does drop some hints early on that he has doubts about the Empire, he is willing to carry out the mission to rescue "Governor" Grotton, showing he will follow orders to a certain extent. However, he shows more restraint than Crosshair might have: he doesn't attack the civilians despite their obvious mistrust of the soldiers, he comes to an understanding with Tawni Ames, he's NOT willing to follow an order to execute her, and he is clearly dismayed and disappointed by her death.

And so, at the end of a "successful" mission, Cody more plainly reveals the depth of his dissatisfaction with following orders against one's own moral scruples:

Hunter had said "Blind allegiance makes you a pawn." And Cody, unwilling to blindly and unquestioningly be a pawn - or act like a battle droid - any longer, goes AWOL.

But that lesson alone isn't enough to make Crosshair turn on the Empire. Instead, he needs Mayday to give him the final push.

MAYDAY

First, Mayday indicates how appalled he is by the idea of anyone leaving their own behind - which we know is a sore spot for Crosshair. But most importantly, Mayday has demonstrated since he was first introduced that he strongly believes in soldiers being loyal to and looking out for each other (which is far different than just being loyal to the Empire).

Second, Mayday unknowingly challenges Crosshair's belief that serving the Empire provides meaningful purpose. (Remember that one of Crosshair's main arguments to his brothers about joining the Empire was so they could "find purpose again.")

Then, he unwittingly goes for the jugular and rips apart the motto Crosshair had adopted.

And then, in case Crosshair has any lingering doubts about the answer to Mayday's rhetorical question, Nolan decidedly answers the question for him.

Hunter had said "All you'll ever be to them is a number," and he is proven right in the most heartbreaking way.

Crosshair had accused his brothers of not being loyal to him; unfortunately, now he sees what true disloyalty looks like. And for Crosshair - severe and unyielding - realizing that he has misplaced his loyalty by giving it to an entity that mocks him and casts him AND those he cares about aside for doing so... this is the final straw.

Thankfully, Crosshair has now rediscovered the people who are worthy of his loyalty.

#the bad batch #tbb #clone force 99 #star wars #star wars the bad batch #tbb crosshair #commander mayday #tbb mayday #commander cody #tbb cody #lessons learned the hard way #tbb analysis #and now i'm crying #shouldn't have rewatched these episodes #but they are SOOO GOOD #save crosshair #amazing character development in only two episodes #this is longer than i intended it to be - again #but this is what happens when i have to wait four more days for the finale

After sitting and digesting the new Amazing Digital Circus episode, I've come to the conclusion that I really appreciate Jax for the simple fact that he's the first character in a popular series I can recall in a long while who's just an absolute, unabashed asshole.

It feels like in today's media and storytelling no one wants to make their characters too mean or too unlikable. They're afraid to alienate the audience: The absolutely abysmal sanding down and softening up of The Grinch in the Illumination adaptation back in 2018 specifically comes to mind; their flagship franchise is about villains but they can't make the Grinch, the mean one, MEAN.

If a character is in the 'asshole'-archetype, they always fall into the "Stands off to the side and spouts one-liners and pretends to not care but absolutely has a soft side for this one thing/person" type of character.

Jax is mean, he physically pushes people over and out of the way, he insults everyone around him and bullies Gangle, and his only source of joy is seeing people miserable and suffering; even if they're just NPCs. He's not the type of mean where it's fun to watch what he does, like you would a charismatic villain, he's uncomfortably awful.

He's not the Tumblr Sexyman, watered down and digestible-type of asshole, he's genuinely an awful fucking person and it's honestly refreshing to see a character with some bite to them, and the creator not being afraid to make a polarizing character on purpose.

#I dunno maybe it's just because I'm still mad they rewrote Lusamine into a misunderstood anti-hero #Or what happened to The Grinch #It's just kind of nice to see a character be awful and STAY that way without shoehorning in a redeemable trait #The Amazing Digital Circus #Jax #TADC Jax #candy carrier chaos #TADC #Gooseworx #tadc episode 2 #the grinch #mean characters

Sunita’s descriptors of Leo and Donnie when she meets them in their granny getup is so funny because Donnie’s the one who pushes the grandma disguise and yet-

Sunita, seeing Granny!Leo: Aw, what a cute old lady

Sunita, seeing Granny!Donnie: A flying turtle in an old purple dress

If I was Donnie I’d be so offended by that, Hortense deserves better 😔

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt sunita #rottmnt donnie #rottmnt leo #it’s the eye makeup it was too good #and Donnie needed his old fashioned binoculars to complete his look this was never a fair comparison 😔#the fact sunita goes out of her way to call the dress OLD too lmao #granted it was likely the shock of a flying turtle but given sunita is a yokai I somehow doubt it jdjdjd #side note but Leo’s eye makeup in that episode really was amazing #got that 2000s/2010s cartoon popular girl look down pat

This is insane to me: https://t.co/WslCOnBtJU

They didn’t even call him. How the hell is he supposed to be explained out of the show? Jonathan’s best friend, who drove the gang all the way to Indiana? He’s just…gone? Not even being killed off - just not invited back. What!?

#stranger things #stranger things 5 spoilers #stranger things spoilers #stranger things 5 #argyle stranger things #I am going to be so for real fuck this show #this feels racist in some way tbh #and you KNOW it’s so they can more easily put Jonathan and Steve together #and I like stonathan scenes I do #but what the fuck? I loved Argyle so much #he was so good #and he brought amazing energy #and for them to treat Eduardo this way is messed up #how the hell is this even going to work like #Jonathan offhandedly will mention Argyle drove back to Cali to be safe? he can’t even be on the show for an episode?#boooooo

its an episode about the many ways morty fears rick.

its about being afraid of rick and being afraid of his sadness and his callousness and his power. its about morty knowing the power rick has over him and being afraid of that. and knowing that ricks decisions are fickle and often Bad and that morty is going to be beholden to them. when rick jumps morty is forced to follow after and pay the same price for no crime. and the fear that for his loyalty and obedience there is no reward . Morty Is Afraid Of Being A Dog.

if rick is in a simulation where hes given everything he wants and hes too selfish and cowardly to leave when it threatens his life, morty will have to die with him.

if rick is in a simulation where he has the option of pretending nothing is wrong and everything is fine and hes too selfish and cowardly to admit its a lie even when it threatens his life, morty will have to die with him.

if rick is forced to admit he cares for morty or die he would die before saying it. and morty knows it. and Im Going Crazy

#myposts #liberated from dms bc im going crazyyyy bitch!!!! what!!!!!!!#i had to stop wathcing rick and morty bc the abuse narrative made me too insane #they were like freaky music playing over rick explictly saying he cares about morty and i was like screams #sorry theres somethijg so fuckingh. So. about morty fearing that rick wouldnt jump in the hole with him #and rick in fact not jumping into the hole with him.#like the whole. episode hinges on morty feeling thats hes actually beholden to RICKS fears and ricks decisions and ricks power over him #such that the reveal that its all been his own fears--OF RICK--is. ooooooughghgh its amazing #genuinely. i think one of the best episodes of the whole show #something so. ominous. about rick at the end mimicking morty from the beginning #like hes about to go on his own--as we watched morty play out the fear he would be too weak to leave--#only to show this proof he cares deeply for morty. only to realize that is in fact just as scary.#like double subversion--hes not doing the obvious scary thing but the thing he does instead is just. scary in a different way #rick and morty #fear no mort
