One Paladin Too Many: Will Lance Stay on Earth?

In recent interviews, it’s been brought up that there is an uncertainty about who’s going to go where in the following seasons. LM and JDS implied that this was something they would inevitably have to address.

And like, yeah, because Shiro’s back now, and while he needs rest and a new prosthetic, once he’s better, where will the team go from there?

I’ve actually been thinking about this since season 6 dropped, but the more I consider it, the more likely I think it is that Lance will be the one to step down. That he’ll stay on Earth. Or at least attempt to.

Why?

Well, for one, Lance is at his lowest low.

He not only feels isolated from the team, but blames himself for it. In his mind, if he had something to offer, maybe Allura would’ve liked him back. Maybe Pidge and Hunk wouldn’t exclude him. Maybe he would’ve been close enough to Shiro so that they could’ve made contact in the astral plane. This all has to lead somewhere. Something has to give. JDS said that Lance was pigeonholed as the goof-ball early on, but that there are so many more layers to him, and I think thats a big part of the conflict in his arc. How Lance is Vs. How people perceive him. His friends - mostly Hunk and Pidge of late- don’t take his feelings seriously. People don’t take Lance in general seriously, not always. Not like they should. Lance staying behind would be a breaking point in a lot of ways.

Secondly, he’s tired to leave before.

In season three, thinking he was the weakest link, Lance talked to Keith about stepping back from the team. Only instead, it was keith who stepped back. There was no real conclusion to this. If anything, Lance’s self worth has only gotten worse. I can definitely see him trying to take a step back again if he feels as if it’s what’s best for the team.

Finally, Lance’s homesickness has always been a point of emphasis. Lance desperately misses his family, something that’s been obvious since season one and has carried through up until last season. Those feelings have probably been exacerbated by his isolation. Home, Earth, it’s always been clear that it’ll play an important part in Lance’s arc. And we know we’re heading back to earth where we’ll be getting Lance’s backstory.

I know it might seem weird to have Lance stay behind on earth this last in the series, but there is still 27 episodes left, and if he does stay, just like Keith did, I’m sure he’ll come back. Maybe we’ll even get a Bedroom Scene parallel where Keith tells Lance he understands why he has to go - because he went through the same thing. Or maybe he’ll tell Lance why he shouldn’t go - also because he’s been through the same thing. Maybe this will parallel Keith leaving by allowing the team to gain clarity on what Lance actually means to them and by helping Lance validate who he really is.

This is all speculation, of course. So I’d love to hear what who guys think.

Oh but Imagine Where this could Go!! Picture this:

For Some Reason, Danny is in Gotham (Maybe his Parents Dragged him and Jazz to a Ghost/Tech Convention, Maybe Jazz Started Attending Gotham Uni/Working at Arkham, Maybe he’s there to Help the Spirit of Gotham Regain some Energy, Maybe he’s there to Fix/Get Rid of the Lazarus Pit Beneath Gotham (that’s a thing right?), Maybe he’s just on Vacation, whatever) and he Runs into Jason.

They do the Spiderman Pointing meme cause “Hey you’re Dead!” And for Jason the Pit has Calmed down to the point of almost being Gone and it’s the Best he’s felt in Years while for Danny it’s like hearing a Baby Crying cause Jason’s Core is So Young/Unfinished/Deformed/Corrupted.

So they go to one of Jason’s Safehouses, and Danny opens a Portal and Calls on one of his New Kryptonian Guards, let’s call him Qyv-Ral (pulled from this Generator), and Asks him to Escort Jason to Frostbite in the Far Frozen for Healing. He Also Tells him that he can Contact Danny to come back here and Open the Portal for their Return once Jason is Healed (how exactly is Writers Choice idk atm). Danny would have Gone With them but he has Something to do in Gotham. All Parties agree, the Portal is Opened, Jason and Qyv-Ral Go Through, Danny Closes the Portal, and the Goes about his Day. Bonus Points for if they Never Refer to Danny by Any Name, except for the Very End where Qyv-Ral says something along the lines of “Farewell my King”. Bonus Bonus Points for Danny sounding very Menacing out of context.

Meanwhile Superman, who has been Listening in since he heard the name of the Kryptonian Guard, is Very Stressed because Who is Letting The Worst of the Worst Kryptonian Criminals Loose on Earth? He Immediately Calls Batman because this is Happening in Gotham of all places and The Bat is Immediately on Red Alert. He contacts All the Birds. Cue Panic when Red Hood Doesn’t Respond, no matter who calls (he usually at least responds to Babs or Dick Sometimes). The Bats come to The Only Possibel Conclusion: Jason has been Kidnapped by this new “King” of the Criminal Kryptonians (they are Wrong. In his Excitement to be Rid of the Pit Madness once and For All, Jason just didn’t think to Tell Anyone what was going on, adding to the Belief that he’s been Kidnapped by a Rouge Kryptonian haha oops)

That’s all I’ve got. I could see this being Either Anger Management (Jazz/Jason) Or Reddead (Danny/Jason) depending on how it gets written out if someone chooses to do so. Speaking of Which, Feel Free to Continue this!!! Just Tag me when you do cause I wanna see how this goes!! Especially if you take it to AO3!

Right, let's see... So, King Danny gets some housing complaints, some ghosts really are just spamming claims over non-ghost beings bothering them near their homes. So as the peacemaker he is, Danny simply goes there, a weird region of the Ghost zone really, they even named it differently because it wasn't green (among other odd quirks). He did find fun in the irony of it being called the "Phantom Zone". Anywho, the non-ghost beings there are obviously all the dangers the Justice League just doesn't deal with and dumps in that dimension. Staying in the Phantom zone for long enough (I'd say maybe a week) is sufficient enough for these beings to be considered "Infinite Realms" subjects despite not being dead. Like immigration or whatever. Dany, empathic enough due to the whole "stand out" and "odd ones out" mentality, takes all of them under his wing and in short adds them to his royal guard or other similar posts regarding their strengths.

So in short, you could say Danny was wrapped and gifted a bunch of Kryptonian soldiers for his already overpowered army.

May I add that the mentally deteriorating effects of the Phantom Region (as I'm calling it now) would probably affect the Kryptonians enough to view Danny as a divine savior after he pulled them out of madness and gave them purpose again? So they're probably very intense about their new positions and don't want to disappoint their king and grace in the slightest.

Episode Title + Collector Theory

Okay so we all remember The Episode Title Name Thing for S2, which was Previously (Before 2B’s Release) theorized to be

“Seek the Key Fear the Door”

is Actually

“Seek the Key Fear the Lock”

Could the Lock in question be the Collector’s Mirror? The Collector was Locked away in the Shadow Realm for a Reason (Probably cause he’s so OP) but like yeah. It just occurred to me because this is the only thing I’ve thought about for the past 2 days.
