i love Star Wars animation cus roughly half of it is Dee Bradley Baker in a recording booth talking to himself and everything else is James Arnold Taylor trying to disguise his buttery smooth dulcet tones
Someone give Dee Bradley Baker an Emmy already. This man deserves every award a voice actor can win and then some.
Rewatching Confined and the growl in his voice when Crosshair says “I’m NOT THEM” and to then immediately turn that around to this deep, emotionally resonant breaking point of him saying “Omega” for the first time, desperate to get her attention and have her hear him. It’s phenomenal.
His commander. The only person he fully trusts at the moment. He shows his transparent self for the first time.
Not only to her, but to us, the people watching the show.
Clones are bred with a sole purpose, told they are expendable, and if they die fighting, most wouldn't care.
They are human, but they aren't treated as such.
Hidden beneath their masks there's people. That's what we see when she removes his helmet. She's telling him its okay to feel how he is doing at the moment.
And this is the breaking point for many. Rex is hurting, he's mourning, His brothers, the other soldiers, even himself have been used for all this time. Manipulated into fighting a war that was lost from the start.
All the deaths, all the used soldiers, brainwashed... It hurts him as it hurts everyone else. Even more as they are his family.
"I used to believe that being a good soldier meant doing everything they told you. But we're not droids. We're not programmed. You have to learn to make your own decisions."
Met one of the greatest inspirations for my work today: Dee Bradley Baker himself!!
Was able to take a selfie with him, get his autographs, get a photo op, give him some of my prints as a gift, and best of all, got to chat a bit! He really is such a kind person, and he really made my entire year!
My girlfriend is the absolute love of my life and I am REELING right now. She met Dee Bradley Baker today and got him to sign a picture of Dogma she drew for me and I'm going to fucking CRY y'all look at this shit.
"Dogma deserves forgiveness!" BRO I AM CLUTCHING MY CHEST AND WAILING RIGHT NOW.
Gonna have to start a GoFundMe to pay Dee Bradley Baker, IN CHARACTER, to read and respond to thirst posts about Tech (but also Hunter, Echo, Crosshair, and Wrecker as treats).
