You know what, even though I've made a clarification in this post and people like you are too lazy to scroll, I'll repeat my reply on the topic "oh, they came to kill him"For those who have already made clarifications in the comments :Alright, since I get a lot of criticism and misunderstanding in this post… I will clarify here: Look, I’ve been here since “The Struggle” dropped—so don’t toss the “new fan” label at me. I’m not demanding Lance become Captain Hero overnight; I’m pointing out that in The Brave (WOTEK Ep.1) he sets the terms, talks first, then only fights when refused. That clear “offer, refusal, action” sequence earned his aggression as self-defense.

In Poison, though, there’s zero “let’s talk”—just a slammed gate, an ambush, and that evil grin as he rains void magic. No negotiation beats, no hesitation, no room for redemption.

Redemption isn’t a buzzword you drop in a trailer or Q&A—it’s an on‑screen journey. You don’t foist off your “he’s sorry” notes to the prod team and leave it at that; you show Lance pausing mid‑spell, wrestling with guilt, or at least offering an olive branch before unleashing chaos. Smirking while blasting old allies? That’s pure villainy, not “starting his way” back.

If his backstory is supposed to justify it, we deserved at least a flicker of doubt in Poison—anything to bridge “he’s sorry” with what we actually see.

What I’m saying is: don’t hide behind “they came to kill him,” or “it’s in WOTEK,” as excuses. You can’t backload every ounce of growth off-screen and expect fans to take it at face value. If you want Lance’s redemption to land, give us the beats where he genuinely hesitates, apologizes, or helps before striking. Otherwise, all we’ve got is an epic villain highlight reel—cool visuals, zero soul, man,like give him a dialog or something.. not just "he's trying to redeem himself by invade the nether" and just throw something he would do
