The Lens is a piece of protective gear used by many of the POV-Cameras and other Cameramen to protect their camera sensors from the hypnosis light emitted by the TVs. It first appeared in Episode 18, but saw no notable use until Episode 40, when the POV-Cameraman required lens in order to counter the blinding attacks from Large TV Man.
Appearance[]
The Lens is a circular/rectangular piece of glass surrounded by a black circular ring, most likely including a polarizing filter, or being a more powerful variation of one.
Lenses initially were metallic when they debuted in the series, but they began to consistently appear darker later in the series.
Uniquely, Titan Cameraman was seen to possess a special lens where it was cracked, and the top is bent to make a drooping circle in Episode 70.
Functionality[]
The main purpose of the Lens is to protect the Cameramen from Photon-Based Armaments, including TV Men beams and other flashbangs. It has been seen to stop all effects of these beams, allowing Cameramen to continue fighting even under the harshest light conditions. Overall, the Lens is a vital piece of Alliance armament, and The Alliance would not have made it this far if not for the Lens.
Trivia[]
- The Lens was the first protective gear that protected the vision of its users, and the second protective gear after the Headphones.
- If the Cameramen do not wear Lens, then they will indubitably be blinded as happened in Episode 61; however, they will not get effected from Normal TV Man, and do not need to wear the Lens in their presence.
- They are never seen being worn by any member of the Speakermen race.
- This has been confirmed to be because of their latent immunity in Episode 70 after the Dark Speakerman didn't get affected by the Claw Wheeler Skibidi Toilet's television attacks.
- Circular Lens was only used by Plungerwoman due to her losing it in Episode 77, but currently still in use by some Normal Cameramen who haven't gotten any upgrades, Titan Cameraman, and also the Large Cameraman. The Rectangular Lenses are currently only used by the Cameramen 2.0 and Cameraman 3.0.
- The Skibidi Toilets invented Sunglasses using the lens the Claw Wheeler Skibidi Toilet stole from the POV-Cameraman in Episode 42.
- This invention became obsolete after The Alliance kept destroying them, but it seems that they came back after Titan TV Man 2.0 came back.
