Crosshair’s Emotional Payoff in Bad Batch #starwars

#disney #disneystarwars #davefiloni #lucasfilm #starwarsexplained
The series finale of the bad batch had a terrific climax with a satisfying emotional payoff.

When hunter and crosshair are stopping Hemlock from trying to escape with Omega, we get exactly what we expect and exactly what we deserve.

Omega obviously trusts crosshair to make the shot. Crosshair still doubt himself as he has all season.

Hunter supports crosshair, which wasnt always the case with these two, but they've come a long way, especially hunter when it comes to accepting crosshair.

Crosshair just lost his hand, and has even more reason to worry. Yet He still has the full support of hunter,

even if he feels like he hasnt earned that trust again.

But crosshair finally breaks through his mental barrier and lands his shot.

It should come as no surprise that after, Omega hugs crosshair first.

Hunter and omega started out as the heart of the series
and it ended with crosshair and omega as the heart.

the batch's love for each other is that of a family.
Sometimes 1 family member needs you more than the other,
and Crosshair was that member this season.

Omegas relentless support through thick and thin brought crosshair back from losing himself to being the hero in the end.

I honestly love the fact that tech didn't return. It made his sacrifice that much more impactful.

I dont know why but Omega hugging Crosshair first made me tear up a bit 😢

[CardboardSliver]

Crosshair even closing his eyes and leaning into it. He finally let go and accepted he's loved.

[Omega_Gwen]

I love the fact that you spelled their names the way Omega pronounces them. 😂

Omega's *HUNTAH* is line Draco's *POTTAH*

Some other theorists analyzed that Crosshair in this scene no longer has his shaky hands because the clone assassin cut that hand off, so that actually helped him here

[ALEX-jfhm]

That payoff sounds like my kind of Saturday night

Bad Batch and Andor best shows we got so fukn far

[doriannp]

Omega hugs Crosshair first because it is the first time she realizes he has lost his hand. As caring and empathetic as Omega is she was heartbroken for him and hugged him first. She then pulls Hunter in and all three of them share a hug. They all trust and love each other in the end. Omega helped heal Crosshair's mind and heart. Hunter and Omega still have the closest father-daughter relationship.

I have heard some people saying bad batch is a boeing series but in my opinion its by far one of the best series offering more than most of the life action series can with the emotion and animation etc

[puppetshack]

Yes yes yes yes yes great breakdown! Loved the family aspect and overcoming their internal issues

[Gamerafighter]

Crosshair really does love his family.

[TheMimiSard]

"Huntah". But yeah, Omega wants to build bonds with all her brothers. She built them with the others before, so when she had access to Cross, she worked to build it with him too, because she has never considered him as anything less than a member of the 'Batch who just went a bit astray. Really, this show has a strong "Prodigal Son" vibe, but in this case it was the Prodigal Brother being drawn to come home again, by the open and forgiving arms of his little Big Sister.

[Lutra]

I love crosshair, he is an actual hero

[adamek]

Also remember that usually omega hugs hunter first from all of them (hes like father to her).

[daftpunk]

It’s sucks that this finale was so dark that it was impossible to see anything

[leannamation]

Bro Crosshair made that shot by resting his blaster on Hunter's shoulder like he would do a bunch back in the clone wars 😭❤

Fun fact: that was actually a technique used by German snipers in WW2 to have better aim

[madelinegarber]

Hell yeah!!!! This is 1, 000% accurate. Hunter’s and Omega’s support of Crosshair made all the difference in this scene. And Omega was the catalyst for his journsy this season and his biggest cheerleader. This scene went exactly how I wanted it to. Omega and Crosshair became probably my favorite duo in the show and I’d been wanting tong them to hug all season. So seeing it finally happen was so gratifying. I knew she’d go to Crosshair first. I loved his arc. I’m a sucker for a good redemption.

The fact is that omega grounded the bad batch...she learned from them and they learned from her...😊😊

That was Rip Van Winkle, John Marston and Jim Milton’s evil third brother. He is a menace the likes of which not even Micah and Dutch combined could dare to match. Not since the days of the One-Shit Kid has there been a man so despicable
