LANCE'S ERASURE FROM SEASON 7

I've made a few observations while I wrote Voltron Is a Love Story and Keith's Soft Spot that made me go hmm... Lance is weirdly absent from this scene and/or switched position with another character...

For example, the first thing I found was this scene in Season 7, Episode 1: A Little Adventure where Lance straight up just disappears from the scene despite being in the lineup of cadets in the previous shot:

[Season 7, Episode 1: A Little Adventure, 10:10] 

ummmm where the hell is Lance??? Where are the last two cadets in the lineup ???? Where did he go… Lance is just straight up erased from this scene, which makes me think he was supposed to have a bigger role in the conflict between James and Keith. Otherwise, why was he erased if he was just meant to react like Hunk does??

And then I found THIS inconsistency, that places Lance on the Garrison side of the table rather than the Voltron side, that I also posted a while ago on tumblr:

[Season 7, Episode 10: Heart of the Lion, 03:13 ; 03:35]

Here we see the Garrison Officers all on one side with the MFEs behind them, and on the other side we have Team Voltron, just like the last time they had a meeting. But what I find strange is that... Lance is sitting on the side of the Garrison and Veronica is sitting on the side of Team Voltron... I found this very odd, because wouldn't it make more sense to have Lance and Veronica switch places?? Why is Lance sitting next to Sam on the Garrison side instead of on the Team Voltron side??

I started growing very suspicious, because, given what I found of edits in Knights of Light that frequently placed Lance away from Keith, this felt very much like they put him on the Garrison side to avoid placing him next to Keith... usually Voltron is very purposeful with the placement of characters. Why would they go so far to avoid placing Lance next to Keith?? unless it had a deeper meaning ???

And it's even more suspicious, because the next time they're in a meeting in the same episode, Lance is on Team Voltron's side as usual, but this time he's placed next to Allura...

[Season 7, Episode 10: Heart of the Lion, 10:57]

Actually... several characters look like they're downright copy pasted from the first frame... such as the MFE's and Romelle and Iverson and General Sanda and Hunk.... So their positions around the table are pretty much set, are meant to be consistent to the point that the animators can just copy paste the characters every time they have a meeting, so it's even more strange that Lance would deviate from this in the previous scene. That the animators would go through that extra effort to draw him sitting somewhere else.

and look where Veronica is sitting:

[Season 7, Episode 10: Heart of the Lion, 11:28]

Right next to Sam, where Lance sat in the last meeting scene.

We know that Season 7 was edited, because of this podcast, where the showrunners JDS and LM talk about having to amend a few things to Shiro and Adam's story to create plausible deniability. They had to change their apartment to the Garrison's common lounge as well as some of their dialogue to be more general and platonic. But we still see remnants of the original scene, for example here:

[Season 7, Episode 1: A Little Adventure, 16:52]

When Shiro enters the common lounge area, the camera zooms in on all of his trophies and medals, as well as a picture of him and Adam, all because it relates to his and Adam's dialogue. But why would Shiro's personal belongings, such as his achievements and personal pictures, be in the common lounge of his workplace, instead of his private home?? if it was his office, I'd understand (even though Shiro's rank isn't high enough to constitute having his own office)... but a common area?? Well, because this common area was originally supposed to be the kitchen of his and Adam's shared apartment, just as JDS and LM said in the podcast. This is also why we don't see any other characters around the "common area" during their conversation, because it was supposed to be in the privacy of their own home.

This example is an instance where the original story kinda seeps through the attempts at covering it up, due to orders from "higher up", and it tells us that there may be more attempts throughout the season. Well, as I said, I already found two instances, the ones above with Lance. These are two instances now that Lance is removed from Keith's proximity in season 7 alone, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. So, I started wondering if there were other instances of this, other inconsistencies that either remove Lance from the scene or place him away from Keith.

Well...

I hope Eddie Kingston and Keith Lee are doing well.

I hope Luchasaurus is able to have a smooth recovery.

I hope Adam Cole is doing okay, too (that bastard).

I hope Big E's neck keeps healing up.

I hope everyone else out with injury or illness is able to make as full a recovery as they can.

@sockdooe, I apologize in advance if you're as clueless as I am, but I genuinely want to know.

What is the L/K "queerbait" I keep seeing people complain about? Did something major happen between Lance and Keith in seasons Five and Six-- like, they leaned in toward each other as if they were going to kiss only for it to be a gag/fake out?

I watched five seasons of this cartoon and saw absolutely no hint of anything baity with those characters.

Though I do see the validity in claims that fans were baited by Adam's significance in the show being hyped up

only for his actual role to not amount to much more than another means of hurting Shiro, this, in my opinion, is the closest the show got to genuinely baiting its audience:

There's no reason to animate Keith moving in for a hug this way, other than to give the impression that he was about to kiss Shiro like he's the fairytale prince to Shiro's Sleeping Beauty.

Continuing to interpret two teenaged boys butting heads and competing with each other as "sexual tension", even after, from what I read, the voice actor for one of those boys confirmed that his character is exclusively attracted to women, does not count as legitimate queerbaiting.
