You Can Have My Sword... and My SASS | UYNC S3 Ep 3

This week, CiCi is flying solo and circling back to one of the ensemble roles that deserves a little more respect: the lancer.What makes someone a good second voice in a group? Not the rival trying to take the leader’s spot, not the hater who just wants to be difficult, and not the chaotic teammate making everything worse for fun. A real lancer is trusted opposition: the person who can tell the leader they’re being stupid and still stand beside them when the fight starts.CiCi breaks down the trope through Marco from Animorphs, Hawkeye/Clint Barton from Marvel Comics and the MCU, and Sailor Mars/Rei Hino from Sailor Moon, and ultimately why sometimes the best teammate is the one willing to hurt your feelings for the sake of the mission.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
