>>3176974>God forbid we explore other important characters in this universe.Well that's an issue considering, for all the attention the Paladins get, most of them are still somehow lacking in personality and purpose. The show can't even explore its own main characters properly. The writing is so bad that there was more character exploration for Keith in a single side vlog than in the actual fucking show. The phenomenon around Lance is the biggest example of this, in that he's such an irrelevant, poorly developed comic relief character that the fandom needs to shoehorn any and all angsty/woobie headcanons onto him as possible to give him depth and get offended when they're reminded that, no, he's not important, he's just there for comic relief. Though I've heard he's apparently going to have the longest character arc, I can't imagine they'll implement it in a way that doesn't feel forced.
I feel like the episode where Pidge discovers Shiro attacked Matt while in prison exemplifies how bad this show is at writing relationships or character interaction. They spend all of 3 minutes on Shiro and Pidge, they barely even bother to indicate that Pidge is mad at Shiro, the rest of the episode is 10 minutes of robot fighting, and ends with Pidge sulking, Shiro going "oh don't worry Pidge, I just remembered I did it to save him" and they hug, the end. It's just so fucking rushed.
>>3176978The Journey was great,almost felt like it didn't belong in this show because it actually took the time to have some quiet introspection for once.
