The protagonists onThe Bad Batchare hardly characters who could be considered heroes.
They really only do decent things when theyre forced to.
Its not goodwill, its because they (sometimes) listen to Omega.
Throughout both seasons of the show, Hunter and the others have been driven mostly by pure survival instinct.
At first, they had to escape from the Empire and do whatever it took to not be captured.
And, yes, they did the occasional favor for Captain Rex.
The Batch only helps when its convenient, but they are mostly just content with looking the other way.
All he gets is poor defective Gonky as a reward.
According to Benni, Mokko took over the mine from the Techno Union after the war.
As for the prize all his child-laborers are working toward?
Just one bowl of soup.
you might almost picture Mokko saying Bah!
under his breath offscreen.
Despite or perhaps because of Mokkos deception Benni predictably betrays Omega the second he can.
This is his home and hell fight to make it better.
Before they leave, though, Tech realizes Omega is still rather down.
But, is it?
The Batch didnt reallydomuch in this episode.
It was Omega and Omega alone who tried to convince Benni to leave the mine.
She was the one to give them the information that led to the revolt.
The Batch would have simply left on their ship and turned the other way.
How much longer can they go on looking the other way?
Echo already had enough and left, who is next?
Omega is really turning into the MVP this season.
