The biggest problem I had with Bad Batch was the fact that the soldiers were so cliched.
Filoni's other animated show, Resistance, is just flat-out unwatchable for me.
I got about 8 episodes in and said to myself "Why am I even watching this awful show?".
Filoni created Resistance, and got it off the ground, but as far as I know he was not all that heavily involved with it. I believe it was produced by other folks, with him essentially working as an advisor.
I never watched a second of it. That whole Resistance/First Order conflict Abrams set up in The Force Awakens didn't work for me at all. [Reply]

We did a second run through, which ended last week and I watched Infinity War again last night and plan to watch Endgame again tonight.
What Kevin Feige has accomplished is unparalled in the history of cinema because he produced 23 completely coherent films, which is a mindblowing stat in and of itself. We've seen so many other attempts to create a coherent and entertaining trilogies such as the Star Wars prequels and sequels, The Matrix and so many more that utterly fail after the first film, so I cannot wait to see all of the new Marvel TV series.
I watched the Bad Batch episodes but I never once said to myself "Wow, I wish I could see 20 more episodes of this in a series!". If anything, I was counting down the minutes for it to end.
FYI, I heard last night that Hayden Christensen will be a cast member for the new Obi Wan series. I wasn't able to confirm if it was in flashbacks or him dressed as Darth Vader or both but I'm excited to see what Deborah Chow does with this series because her episodes of the Mandalorian were fantastic.
Agree about Feige. Amazing job to pull all of that off. The only MCU movie I didn’t like much was Captain Marvel. I thought it was very meh. And while Brie Larson is a good actress, she seems wrong for the role. [Reply]
