Is it greedy to want both?

[lothcat-lothcat-lothwolf-run]

I wast the tech/CX-2 thing so bad. So bad. They could even kill him off again, I just want to see my baby boy again :(((. It would be heartbreaking and tragic and so painful for both the audience and the batch themselves but I need it. It’s the best option possible, aside from a spin-off

✨ As it turns out, you are not Tech ✨ None of you are Tech. And we were just delulu. And this was very tricky to me bec I did this before the episode airs and I can't find any information as to who directed this, so I just made CX-2 hug the slate to cover that Director part.

This was the first time I finished a draw series and I'm very happy. I am definitely gonna miss this though.

The series is now complete. Thank you for your appreciation. I will try to yassify another villain someday.

It's not so much that I needed Tech to be alive.

I wanted Tech to live, but I grieved his character when he died.

Then the hints started coming. The narrative focus shifted to this mysterious new character and signaled that he was important somehow. The theories started spreading. Week after week the 'camera' lingered on long, slow shots of a helmet that wouldn't come off.

So yeah, I stopped grieving. The longer it went on the more convinced I became that this must be Tech, because clearly it was someone important. Otherwise it would just be poor writing. This show isn't written poorly.

Case-in-point, what a beautiful finale. My heart was in my throat the entire time. I cried. I loved it. Taken on its own, I'd go so far as to say it was perfect.

Except for the fact that the CX plotline came to nothing. Seriously. We've followed it all season, and it came to nothing? I'm not even clear on what happened. There were more of them. They were kind of an anti-Bad-Batch? Except not really? There was a big one that pulled Wrecker's signature move. There was one with knives. They were regs? I think? One lost its helmet in a background shot so I guess we can conclude they were all regs. With different builds. And different accents. I suppose it doesn't matter, since they all died after a few minutes of screentime having meant nothing to the protagonists. They were a boss fight. The plot marches on.

-

It's entirely possible I got too caught up in the speculation. Maybe when I look back on all the posts I wrote and liked and reblogged it will be obvious that we were reaching. But right now from here in the thick of it, I swear there's so much to see! Do you mean to tell me they really didn't notice it in the writers room? That it was all a complete coincidence?

Would it have been better if someone on the creative team had just come out and confirmed that Tech wasn't coming back? I don't know. I don't think they were obligated to. But when a good 50% of the discourse about your show ending is speculation on this particular CX character, and the answer isn't even a different plot twist, but that the character means nothing at all...well, you can see how the team could have avoided some disappointment.

Maybe this is a bad take. I don't know how I feel. I wish I could have enjoyed the finale without having to grieve again for a character we'd already lost.

For now I'll end by saying that I loved this show and I can't wait to rewatch it someday on its own merit, without the spectre of 'is-it-could-it-be-no-please-let-it-be' clouding my judgement.

Guess they really did kill off Tech then.

Or Hunter killed him without knowing.

I don't know which one's worse.

[toadslug]

The NERVE to just walk off and disappear???? After I obsessively theorize about you???? You BETTER come back tomorrow sir.

[teadrawstuff]

YES. I am on the bandwagon that Tech is CX-2

[gorlicberd]

behind the mask

[alligatorpie1945]

Manifesting.

I just want a happy ending, PLEASE.

(Also Echo isnt here because he and Rex are just off screen happy that one more clone could be saved)

(Also Also, I just couldn't see him willingly hug anyone, besides Omega. I dont really see Hunter and Cross doing that either, but Tech was their Batchmate, so I'd imagine they would make an exception.)

[nobody-expects-the-inquisitorius]

DOMICILE?? INTERESTING CHOICE OF WORDS THERE MAN WHO IS DEFINITELY NOT TECH

[lilacjunimo]

I was holding my breath this whole time I am so serious
