i feel like such a fool for being a clone fan like. if i cared this much about the jedi in the show i would not be this starved for content and yet here i am. i think the true crime of tcw is how much potential the clones have for depth. theres just… so much under the surface that we get hints to that is SO CLOSE to being fucking amazing and then the writers just. refuse to actually write it.
First up in my Bad Batch pinup series: Tech! Come get yall juice
Yes Tech has a receding hairline but I can and will continue to draw him with an undercut and no one can stop me
Who should I do next?
Bonus:
Question for everyone…
Why is Tech British? As an English person, it’s really jarring compared to the rest of the Batch. Omega isn’t as jarring as Tech is
Brit’s sound smart when they talk?
Only smart people uses the king’s English??
It sounds more articulate and intelligent???
Honestly I don’t know why either… I’m not even British (still European tho) and I find it super odd
Colonial propaganda.
I’m not an expert but even within the British isles, accents have been used to reinforce class association, with the RP accent (see ‘British’ accent) being artificially developed in private education institutions to give the upper and ruling classes a distinct sound. Everything then published (articulation and speech aids, early radio and television broadcasts) reinforced this accent as being the ‘correct’, 'intelligent’ and 'authoritative’ voice of Britain, with other regional accents being essentially 'taught out’.
This was also applied to occupied colonial territories, with the added undertones of white and British supremacy mixed in. Given that we never address the problems our colonial past created, we still perpetuate this idea in a lot of our media and all the shitty racist elements that come with it.
So yeah, RP accent not good.
@laz-laz-ace-pilot makes a good point.
It’s so weird as someone who is british, because everyone is an absolute moron. Another issue is that we have so many accents. Go 10 miles anywhere, different accent.
I’m close to london and people don’t sound like Tech. Tech speaks like some royal pillock who’s never had to wipe his own arse.
Speaking as a Brit whose native Northern accent sounds nothing like Tech does, I reckon he’d sound so much better if he had a Birmingham accent.
Because then you’d get something like this:
Omega: What was the war like, Tech
Tech: It worra proimory mission objectif comproised o battles on various fronts, Bab. Woi ya wanna nooooo?
And it’d be amazing!
