Baby Yoda Canceled Amid Accusations of Genocide [S2 Spoilers]
- Thread starter Lifejumper
- Start date
- Spoiler
This is Star Wars. You should know by now that this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Well it's canonical name is The Child. When people say Baby Yoda all I think it's it's not Yoda and technically it's not even a baby. It's closer to a toddler. It's name in the show and in the script etc for now is it's The Child, so call it The Child or if you wanna be specific The Child from The Mandalorian. It's not that hard. "Baby Yoda" drives me nuts, haha, because it makes absolutely zero sense. Again; this might be because I'm autistic and I'm very punctual about stuff like this, so sorry if this seems dumb.
You wouldn't like it if I would call your newborn kid Baby Mark because all newborn kids look the same, would you?
They put out bait and the Hutt that put the bait there got eaten instead.
He's clearly not aware. What I found more appalling was Pedro not caring very much if the eggs survived after the Yoda threat crystallized before him. He's being negligent and lackadaisical with a couple's only chance at fertility.
If anybody needs cancelling, it's the mandalorian. I always knew they were hiding ugliness behind those masks!
Should have ended the episode with a note saying no actual alien frog embryos were harmed in the filming of this episode.
It was a running gag that overstayed it's welcome for a lot of people. Didn't bother me too much, though I can see how a character you like eating children would be off putting. It's just tv though so 🤷♂️.

I don't really think that was played for "laughs" so much as it was just meant to establish that the dragon was more dangerous and unpredictable than they had planned. I think it's a fair criticism that the tuskens have been nameless canon fodder throughout all of star wars, but i dunno if i agree that this specific shot was a joke so much as an escalation of stakes. it's classic monster movie stuff.
I hope the Star Wars fandom..or at least anyone actually offended by this harmless and hilarious egg gag gets cancelled.
Eh the whole episode is very cheesy so I definitely think it was played for laughs.
i'm definitely not saying it wasn't cheesy lol. the whole show is cheesy
And Baby Yoda is not the name of said character. So why call it that? Why call it that after a year of knowing it's not the name of that character?
I'm not gonna call Miles Morales Peter Parker in the new Spider-Man game because they're both Spider-Men.
That's pretty different "The Child"/"Youngling"/"Baby Yoda" doesn't have a name while Miles Morales does. Calling The Child; Baby Yoda is the same as they are both names used as a placeholder.
Baby Yoda/The Child is a stupid character anyway. There, I said it.
Sure, it's cute and all, but the fact that now canonically Yoda's species is still a baby at 50 is a dumb thing. What made Yoda cool is that with 900 years old he has this aura of being this ancient who had seen more than anyone else in the universe. Now we know that for at least 50 of those 900 years the dude was probably barely able to walk upright.
So I guess he just basically was a 50-year old in Yoda species years. Thanks Hidalgo.

Pablo has gotten abuse all this years from the worst people in the fandom and now they are trying to cancel him for the most stupid shit
I mean, the difference is pretty obvious, right? The live frog wasn't a sentient being specifically mentioned as to be the last in its line.
I wonder if people understand that these are eggs as in ovum, not eggs as in chicken. They're taking them to be inseminated. It's basically eating genetic material, not living things. It's as if people made a big deal of eating... that white sticky liquid that humans make ;)
It's a nickname, not his literal name. He's a baby that looks like Yoda, so...
sapient*? frogs are sentient, and capable of suffering unlike unfertilized eggs. That thing was alive and died a slow and painful death.
I genuinely thought "well he's doing this to store some eggs and during the episode the frog lady is going to fail that task to bring the eggs (through the dangers of the snow planet) to that specific planet losing all hope till The Child comes up and somehow deliver the stored eggs hatched to her". Like he even did that "i'm sensing The Force on this thing" motion earlier on the episode.
But no, it was just for the gags...wtf...
I felt really uncomfortable with this episode it was just stupid.

and how a child that in human age is about 2 should know the difference exactly? If anything it should be more grossed out about eating living things (who is actually sentient instead of a fertilized egg).
Do you have the same problem with people swallowing semen after a BJ? Because that's the same kind of genetic material (and then would become a consent problem and not a cannibalistic problem which seems to be how people are making it out to be)
Baby Yoda eating the eggs was hilarious AND hit at an undeniable, important truth: toddlers are great, cute and all the rest of it but they are amoral bastards.
When my niece was a baby she would have done exactly this. This is children. They do not give a single shit.

Frog lady is just ensuring her family line continues, not the species as a whole. Anyways, this was my exact theory when it seemed like he was communing with the eggs (even though they are unfertilized). I feel like the writers were subverting our expectations. I was like "he's keeping the eggs warm in his belly! That's gotta be it!".
But as the episode went on, I thought about stomach acids. The final scene with him eating another egg then brought me crashing to reality! XD
My wife and I were losing it every time the kiddo went for the eggs. I don't think enough people have spent a significant enough time around small children. They put *everything* in their mouth and try to eat it. My kids have tried to eat dog shit. It's what they do.
While I think the case brought up by the subject of the thread is silly, these comparisons aren't quite valid. It seems to be me that it'd be more like if you had frozen your sperm earlier, with a plan to use it very soon and then have a vasectomy. But then suddenly something gets to where your sperm is and eats it. Now you can't have children despite your plans.
There's a certain dark humor to be found in that certainly, and I don't mind the episode.
A friend of mine is convinced he was actually eating them as since he's Baby Yoda he detects the rest will not survive. And hell either "lay," or more like poop or throw up, the ones he did eat totally preserved this actually saving the day when it appeared he was being a sick. He posted it the day the show aired and has been now linking to other people saying the same shit
Didn't they say that they're her last eggs and she can't make more?
People getting so upset over these eggs that they literally want a baby to be killed. How is this happening ahaha
I missed this, who is saying they want (a "literal" 50 year-old) Baby Yoda to die?
