Tbb Scorch - Tumblr Posts
No bc wtf was the point. Just leave him alone in Legends. We made peace with what game devs had said would've been the plot of a second game post Imperial Commando & it was a good one: Sev joins the Rebellion, Delta squad go get him eventually & they all desert, THE END.
But noooo they had to drag him into a show he had nothing to do with, make him a straw villain and kill him! For fucking what? Like WHY??!!! Nobody wanted that. People who didn't play RepComm or read the books didn't know or care who he was and RepComm fans didn't get why tf his personality was completely different from that of the games & books. And don't give me that "it was the chip" osik bc no it fucking wasn't.
Cody and Wolffe were also Imperial officers, and they didn’t get completely mind wiped. Even Crosshair just became more severe, his core principles didn't change. But Scorch is somehow ok playing prison guard at a facility where they torture and experiment on troopers?!! No. Hell fucking no. He would never. The one time Scorch loses it in the books is when their barracks get attacked & he wants to get revenge *for his brothers*. Everything Delta & Omega do is out of loyalty for their vode. And sure Delta squad do some questionable things when ordered to (eg. robbing banks & killing Jedi). But aiding the clone torture program? No. They wouldn't. They hate Kaminoans for that, they wouldnt stay with the Empire if they knew that's how they treat clones. Especially if they suspect Skirata and the Nulls are running a happy colony of deserters in Mandalore. It just, it makes no sense, and it goes against everything the character was.
And then... on top of that.... they just waste him at the end of the show! They gave zero explanation for the change, he serves very little purpose (all he does is scare children & deliver bad news to Hemlock) and that could've been any Imperial Commando. Like literally anyone, Hilo or a no-name commando. It wouldn't have mattered. Why on earth would they bring him into canon for that?? WHYYYYYY
Like I love the Bad Batch but I hate what the writers did to Scorch. At least Tech had a good run in the show before they messed it up (and yes they did Tech dirty too) but Scorch was just character assassination all the way through... poor vod'ika. New canon can shove it.
A meme many of us can agree upon.
