It isn't homophobic to say PayJay was ass in the movie
They did not have an arc. They mentioned a conflict, died, and the moment they revive they're best friends again and now they're dating standing season one NPC style happy as can be looking at nothing during the reprise. They just wanted to put in fanservice, which is at least an understandable motivation compared to whatever the hell Spoiled Lemon was doing. I genuinely think the love for 18 comes from the fanservice. "But Box was alive all along!" "But 4S is back!" "But the S1 debuters are back!" "But Cobs is dead!" "But PayJayyyyy! Don't you love PayJay???? If u don't love PayJay you big homophobe GRRRR!" I wanted them to get together as much as the next guy but make it it's own short or something instead of shoving it into this already packed movie.
