Viktor Elliot pages wig sucked. Spoiler
Episode one of season three it was so obvious he was wearing a wig considering it was BLACK and plastic. He looks amazing after they get rid of the wig but oh lord its such a horrible wig š¤£ I loveee Viktor but.... why didn't they put effort into finding a decent wig? Anyone else annoyed by it or is it just me? š I'm only on episode 2 right after viktor came out so no spoilers please!

2019 to like 2023 was a really bad year for wigs on TV. For whatever reason a lot of shows thought they could get away with cheap wigs that unsurprisingly looked awful on camera

I didnāt even notice itās a wig - got wayyyy to confused and distracted because of the voice actor change in the German version. Itā¦ didnāt make any sense at all, since Elliotās voice was still the same lol

Why would they do that? š¤£š

Because Germanyās sometimes trying to be tolerant and everything but then they areā¦ well, a bit over the top (season 4 wouldāve made sense but in season threeā¦)

Yeah that's definitely a strange one, but st least they're inclusive..?

They thought it was the right thing to do so thereās nothing really bad in it - it was just a bit unnecessary and senseless at that point
But they didnāt mean any harm and there was none

At least they did it though, it's a very strange place to use it but at least they didn't ignore it.

Both Ben and Viktorās hair in the beginning of the season made me go āoh no!!!ā on impact, RIP.

That last scene before he got the haircut, I was LITERALLY standing up, screaming to my husband about how the wig wasn't on properly.
"It's not hard to put it on!! Why are they letting it look like that!!"
Excetra...

I genuinely have a conspiracy theory that they used a terrible wig to make people less angry that Viktor was transitioning. Like, my own father ho was watching the show gets stupid about those kinds of things, and his reaction was ultimately "At least I don't have to see the wig anymore."

Actually that is amazing and this is how I'm gonna think of it for the rest of my life.

The way I could tell it was a wig straight away as well, it was just terrible and the hairline was so off š

You could ask the same of most Disney performers at the parks. Disney has the money.

I never even noticed her was wearing one

He was definitely wearing a wig in the first episode and a half of season 3. It was a horrible wig at that. He looks better with the shorter hair.

It completely took me out of it. It was indicative of the quality of the season
