So I was just finishing up doing every line for Cut And Run and it made me realize something. Hunter told Tech about Omega staying with the Lawquane’s, but he did not decide to fill Wrecker in on this plan.
The reason we know this is Tech made five discs so one for Omega. So he obviously knew this was the plan.
However Wrecker asks right before they are about to leave “where’s Omega” meaning Hunter straight up left him in the dark on this plan but told Tech about it. We can assume he only told Tech, because he needed five disks for Omega. Otherwise he wouldn’t have told him either. As Crosshair says “bad play Hunter” bad play indeed. It’s Hunter hating hours today. (Not really) (I still love space dad, but this was a mistake)

Frustrated Mandalorian and TBB Thoughts
I was just reading this article
And as soon as I saw the title, I knew it was probably gonna annoy me (that, and I tend to find myself getting irked by CBR articles anyway, but that's a preference). But there are a couple of specific bits I want to touch on because... what???
(I've also bracketed screenshots with this • to help separate parts of the article with my own thoughts. And there are mild TBB S2 spoilers near the end.)
•••••
•••••
Because that's how it started off???
After Din decided not to give Grogu to the client, he was given the task of returning him to his own kind (I'll touch on this again in a minute). Looking after the kid was literally a job that he was given.
But that doesn't mean it stayed that way either. Din very much began to care about Grogu and began to see him as a son. It isn't just a job for him.
•••••
•••••
"Tries to palm him off on Luke Skywalker"
I... *sighs*
This implies that Din is just trying to offload the kid on whoever he can, which is not the case. Like I said, Din was given the job of returning Grogu to his own kind (aka, a Jedi like Luke) so of course he was trying to find someone else to take care of him.
But that also doesn't mean he wanted to let Grogu go. He grew to love him like a son and ultimately didn't want to say goodbye. "He doesn't want to go with you" was Din's last hope that maybe they wouldn't have to part.
The implication from this sentence that Din was just trying to offload the kid irritates me because he only ever did it because that's what he believed was best for the kid. He was only ever trying to do right by Grogu.
Him letting Grogu go with Luke is a testament to how good of a dad Din is. He was just doing what he believed was best for his son.
(Also, Luke came to Grogu after hearing his call through the force. He didn't just take him because Din kept pestering him).
•••••
•••••
"Had Din really been a loving, caring and sacrificing dad"
... I'm about to throw hands in a second.
•••••
•••••
Of course he doesn't understand the requirements of being a dad! The show is literally about him learning how to be a dad!
Also, we had an entire episode of TBB (Cut and Run) where Cut Lawquane had to explain to Hunter what was going to be involved in looking after a child because Hunter didn't know.
Neither Din nor Hunter really know how to be a dad because they've never had to look after a kid before.
•••••
•••••
Are we suggesting that Din doesn't???
Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot that Din was an uncaring, emotionless plank. My bad.
•••••
•••••
Din has a sense of protection. DIN HAS A SENSE OF PROTECTION. WHY ARE WE USING THIS AS AN ARGUMENT TO SAY WHY HUNTER IS BETTER?
Din has literally shown compassion, empathy and protection to not just Grogu but also other people.
•••••
•••••
... did we watch the same two episodes?
At what point does Echo change his mind after the raid on Dooku's Palace? Okay, he went to make sure that Omega was okay after she overheard his conversation with Hunter, but at no point is there any suggestions that he's decided that Hunter is right and that they should go into hiding. Echo is still very pro-Rebellion and wants to actively fight against the Empire while helping people.
Also, using Echo changing his mind (which he didn't) to explain why Hunter is the better dad suggests that Echo was a bad parental figure for also, hold on, let me check my notes here... wanting to protect Omega.
Echo has always been willing to protect Omega, he just wants to do more to help other people and fight the Empire at the same time.
While Hunter's views are valid, that does not mean that he's automatically a better parent than a) the rest of the Batch and b) Din Djarin, who are more willing to actively fight against Emperial forces.
Both Din and Hunter are good dads and they both have a lot to learn. Neither of them are perfect, but I do think that a lot of the arguments in this article are flawed, and show a lack of understanding of what happens in both TBB and The Mandalorian.
This is no hate towards to author by the way. I'm not gonna demand that they get their journalist title stripped. I just don't think this is the best article and it feels inherently biased towards Hunter. As if they came up with the title and then just scrounged up any argument they could as to why Din is a bad dad.
You can have your own opinion on who you think is a better father figure, but that does not automatically make one bad and one good.
This level of comparison between characters is not always necessary and can result in a lot of inaccurate representations of certain characters.

Hi! Sorry about that. An adult FC can work just fine in their 20s. Apologizes, I should have clarified: Parents FC are Charlie Hunnam and Elizabeth Olsen, and sister Elle Fanning. 20s FC for son/brother is more than okay. Thank you.
𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙤 𝙯𝙚𝙥. 𝙞 '𝙙 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙮 𝙖 𝙜𝙖𝙢𝙚. nothing to apologize for, petal, but thank you for the thought! ♡ this is definitely using some hollywood aging standards here, but i think if we stretch, we can get that age range to 18-24. thank you SO much for your patience, this one was a little tricky for me and i certainly hope this is helpful!!

So I was rewatching decommissioned and Wrecker has his whole Order 66 almost triggering moment.
He’s trying to fight it hard, but you know what really pumps him out of it? Omega asking for his help.he loves that kid like his own flesh and blood and he has known her for like 2 weeks. Wrecker is such a slept on character. And while I would have liked to see more of him I do think the writers did a very good job with what we got.

Top Ten Ways to Guarantee your shounen series is going to be sexist no matter what - CBR
Try to subvert gender stereotypes and shounen tropes - It doesn't matter! If you do this and you make a point of it, it will never go well! It doesn't matter if your MHA or KNY, you'll just make all your other misogyny look so much worse while making another case of it.
Being a raging misogynist - This might be weird, but, the guys who wrote Death Note being vehement misogynists may have contributed to Misa Amane being like that. You may never guess it, but this will also doom your series!

Baby 24-year-old me on my first full-size bike, a CBR500R, the day I brought it home.
I miss roadbiking hugely rn. We live on a trunk road through a stunning part of Wales and there's an endless stream of cool sports bikes zipping past my window in the summer heat. It's impossible not to look back on that little Honda and want something like that again. One of these would be a good replacement:
I think about this often.
And then I have to think about blowing all my savings on the mortgage when it renews in November this year.
Houses are not worth it.my
