Recontextualizing the classic heroic image of X-Wings locking their s-foils into attack position into an "oh poo poo" moment was really cool.

I don’t like making X-Wing Pilots into cops though. I get it. It works within the context of the show. I just don’t like it.

The show made a big deal about how they have to travel sub-light otherwise the eggs will die. Any one lost came across like it'd be a huge blow to frog lady, and then baby yoda ends up just eating them. It'd be funny to me if frog lady deserved it, but she seems nice

Frog Lady took them out of their protective canister and went hot-tubbing in a cave full of spider eggs. Those tadpoles weren’t all surviving either way, just let Baby Yoda have his popplers.

It wouldn't really be dark humour if it was just bad things happening to people who deserved it. That's what black comedy is; taking a horrible situation and making it absurd enough to be funny. The fact that Baby Yoda ate a couple of her eggs, but still left her plenty to start a sizeable family is what separates it from being, yeah, genuinely tragic.

teagone posted:Never at the expense of someone seemingly innocent trying to protect her bloodline though. That's the bit that irks me. Baby Yoda has always consistently been anti-Frog. The first thing Baby Yoda eats is a grown frog. The show's mostly being unsubtle about Baby Yoda's poor moral upbringing and masking it with humour.

I laugh every time Brad Pitt dies in Burn After Reading. That poo poo's hilarious. I just didn't find Baby Yoda eating the eggs to even be morbidly funny. Failed execution for me I guess?

The show's mostly being unsubtle about Baby Yoda's poor moral upbringing and masking it with humour. I get that. I just feel like the circumstances presented didn't translate the dark humor well, and instead ended up shifting more towards legit disturbing for me. Baby Yoda inherently being anti-frog is the only reasonable explanation I will accept lmao. teagone fucked around with this message at 23:02 on Nov 6, 2020 |

If baby Yoda is analogous to The Lone Wolf’s ‘cub’ then that baby will only go on to do worse things.

Old EU but that was established in Rogue Squad when Horn is an ex-cop xwing pilot on Corellia. It makes a certain amount of sense. I think the razor crest was supposed to be an old police cruiser. Speaking of: BIG HEADLINE posted:I've a feeling Din's gonna end up with a new ship before this season's over. I just put together the lego razor crest with my son and there’s an escape pod on the top with a porthole so you can see the mini fog insides’s head. I guessed it’s a spoiler of sorts since they haven’t mentioned it at all on the show. I haven’t watched this episode yet tho.
