Was humanizing Clone Troopers a good idea?

Humanizing only a few of them like Alpha, the bad batch and a few other rare troopers was a good idea. Humanizing every single one of them and giving each of them a personality and nickname was a bad idea. If they needed humanized characters for TCW they should've just had them as regular recruits. The Clone Army only made up about 3 million elite soldiers within the Republic military. The rest of the military should've been regular non-clones, with TCW only having about 10 regular non-clones in the military if you don't count jedi, and the only prominent non-clones were the narrator and Tarkin (who only appeared once).

If I recall in the show individuality was promoted in the army since it provided better leadership. All the commanders became commanders becasue during Geonosis they showed promise in leadership positions

Yes, but the thing is every clone had individual traits and nicknames, even rookies still in training. Only ones that didn't have such traits were the underage clone cadets Boba infiltrated and clones stationed in medical facilities.

Personally I liked it, but to trade individualistic Mandalorians for individualistic clones isn't a trade I'd make

But where would they have come from? The Republic is said to have had no real military before the GAR, and no infrastructure to train them either. There were one or two other non-clone Admirals on TCW, but I think they're implied to have been either former members of the Judicial Corps (which to my understanding is space Interpol/space SWAT), or just members of the Coruscanti elite.

The problem is that the chip was a direct consequence of humanizing the Clones, without the characterization of so many of them it was still believable that the Clones could execute order 66 willingly. But once so many of them were portrayed as best buddies with the Jedi, it seemed disingenuous that they could commit Jedi-genocide so coldly without external influence. Also, the good guys willingly killing other good guys is too sad and dark for DisneyWars.
So nuWars scrambled to do make up something that would free the clones of any guilt.

The chip stuff was fucking stupid. I never questioned why the Clones would kill the Jedi, and we even see many of them reluctant to do so. They were told the Jedi were all killers who were trying to take over the government and kill its elected leader. They considered the Jedi the enemy from then on out. And the Jedi too are pretty damn quick to kill their "Best Buds" without a second thought. Even fucking Yoda happily decapitates a few of them and doesn't even express sorrow for them afterward. Clones and Jedi had no reason to get along when they both become enemies.

"taking any order without question, they are extremely obedient"
gee, it's like george put this line in for a reason. the chip was completely unnecessary since they were genetically engineered to be bootlickers. imagine you're in a war for a few years, only to find out your commanding officer is now a traitor to everything you stand for. would you really resist bringing them in?
on top of that, from the get-go the relationship between the jedi and clones was clearly more of a work relationship, it's not like anakin hung out with rex and had a few deathsticks while browsing for twi'leks on the holonet.

The entire concept of clone troopers and the prequel timeline is fucking stupid tbh. I'm pretty sure when Lucas wrote that line about the clone wars in the original movie he intended that to be some fucked up shit the empire did.

Go home Travis, you're drunk again. 3 million isn't enough to fight a war on a single planet: the US alone deployed over 10 million in WW2

That was used in the EU to explain the non-clone, non-jedi characters that were said to have fought for the Republic during the Clone Wars in the pre-TCW EU.
Most notable is The Living Force which had to retcon all the "republic military" involvement into "planetary security personnel" after Attack of the Clones came out. It made a better story in the end: A neighboring system with an oversized PSF using them to defacto occupy a neighboring system while the decadent Republic can't do anything about it is more interesting than a corrupt unit in the Republic military being dicks to the locals.

I didn't say the army consisted of 3 million. I'm just saying 3 million were elite clone soldiers and the billions/trillions of others were probably conscripted from the militaries of Republic-aligned planets. Besides, the whole 3 million thing was in the AotC novelization.

I think there's some confusion about what exactly is going on. There is a relatively new "boomer" mutation of the "brainlet" meme This is equally as cancerous as its ancestors, and both are cuckchan memes, so I can understand why that poster would think you're retarded. Perhaps you're not aware that the term is being used in an absolutely shit meme, or he isn't aware the term is older and not necessarily related to an absolutely shit meme.

Having Death Watch warriors being just copy and pastes of the same model rather than having custom-looking unique special snowflake mandalorians was a mistake.
Honestly I'd take Death Watchmen just having a few different colors and patterns to separate clans, anything other than literal copies.
