The quality has been more of a live-action standard
I have to take a bit of issue with this wording. Animation always seems to get looked down upon as an “inferior” medium, and although it’s totally fair for someone to prefer one over the other, neither animation or live action have any bearing on the quality of a story. They’re simply the vessel that brings that story to the audience.
A great example is how The Bad Batch, has been blowing The Mandalorian - a live action show - out of the water every week it’s been airing. Maybe The Mandalorian should start aspiring to be animation standard…
(I’m aware this is a very pedantic thing to point out but as a massive fan of animation I see this kind of treatment of it a lot)
It is simply praise for the show, in giving credit what Matt Michnovetz (writer & producer), Jennifer Corbett (lead writer) and Brad Rau (series director) and the whole team, for what have accomplished with the Bad Batch. I see a many comments on how much fans have enjoyed this show despite not being into animation series previously.
I think it’s poor praise, and prejudiced against animation as a medium, which sucks, as SW has had many high points in animation, like Bad Batch. Not to mention entire animated masterpieces like some Pixar stuff, a bajillion animes, western stuff like Last Airbender, etc.
