#Voltron season 6

[disgruntled-screaming]

As my rewatch of Voltron season 6 comes to a close, here are my thoughts on it. Mind you, as I'm writing this, it is past midnight. I took my medication, and one of the pills I take makes me a bit sleepy. I wholeheartedly apologize for any repeated sentences, nonsensical phrases, poor spelling of certain words, and poor grammar.

Keith and Krolia's adventure to the area where the other Alteans are should have been at least two episodes - there are moments that should have been more fleshed out, but were unfortunately cut short by production, and possibly absences of Steven Yuen since he is a popular actor in both America and South Korea

Season 6 was ordered, it started production with a certain number of episodes, then one of the suits decided to cut down on the number of episodes - that explains the weird montages

Monsters and Mana, while the best episode of the season (and I stand by it) was definitely written as either a needed filler episode (which is fine) or a special episode to release between season 6 and season 7

Anything that I said about Lotor, in terms of how he ruined Allura's character, is wrong. Allura is just not a good character in this season. I can understand that she needs that connection to her people, and Lotor is able to help her. But I genuinely stand with Lance when comes to not trusting Lotor, since he could not shut the ever loving fuck up about their fathers being friends. My brother in Christ, Lotor, we fucking get it. Your dad and her dad rubbed elbows.

The kiss shared between Lotor and Allura still makes me gag. Nothing against the shippers of this specific ship. I just hate Lotor and how he manipulated Allura. I've been through my own kind of manipulation, so I can't seem to like the character as a person.

I am still right in the theory that Lance and Shiro's relationship was supposed to be important. As much as I adore the fight that Keith has with Kuron, and he tries to being Shiro back and Keith says "I love you", shocking the clone enough for Keith to get the final blow... Lance was given the shaft once again. I could try to work with this in my fix it fic, despite sacrificing my favorite moment in the finale. I'm still outlining my fic, and still on chapter 1, so only time will tell.

That Galra robot that was programmed to have fun was amazing and the scene of it being tied to a rocket getting shot into space as Amazing Grace played in the background is iconic and I wish people talked about it more. Because it was insanely funny and I loved it too much. Fly high, random robot. I will always love you.

Despite me bashing Lotor for all that he is, I will still say that he is a well written character that I would love to punch in the face. Unfortunately he is like 7ft tall, and I am the same height as Krillin from DBZ. So I'm either going to have to learn how to do a Shoryuken a la Street Fighter.

As much as I love the finale of Season 6, I genuinely have to say that Keith's inclusion after being away from Team Voltron just seems convenient.

The Black Lion is the most disloyal bitch I have ever seen. I love the Black Lion's design, as I should. I'm a basic Voltron: Legendary Defender fan. But the Black Lion instantly took Keith back after leaving the team to be with the Blade of Marmora. Also the Black Lion had no problem with Kuron after a certain point, which is stupid. How dare it not be a continuous struggle for Kuron to gain its trust. Then again, this is the same lion that was still loyal to Zarkon despite the fact that Zarkon was evil. Never understood why Zarkon's bond with the Black Lion was so strong when Shiro proved himself to be the better paladin, but that's none of my business at this time.

I personally felt like the Blade of Marmora overstayed their welcome after a certain point. This could just be a me problem, and I am wholeheartedly willing to be the only person on this hill.

Coran is consistently amazing.

I don't know when the writers started making Hunk more of a tech savy character (I genuinely have no idea), but it's quite eye opening when you notice the change in archetypes.

Matt is still an okay character to me. When he was revealed, a good chunk of the fanbase was madly in love with him, which I understand, but I just look at him and shrug.

Keith if he was included in the Monsters & Mana game in S6E3

[brundark100]

Voltron season 6 is genuinely one of the best seasons of television I’ve ever seen

I genuinely don’t know how they thought they could top that season

I can finally make polls!

Voltron Rewatch: Season 6 Summary & Reflection

Just finished season 6 of voltron (rewatch) and damn I honestly forgot how good that season was. I didn’t like the overall direction the storyline went in season 6, but the episodes individually were amazing. And episode 5 is just breathtaking, no doubt about it. I cried at the end of it. I also cried at the end of episode 7, when Lance started crying bc of Shiro.

I honestly think I had blocked out as much as possible from season 4 and beyond. I’m also glad I started rewatching bc I finally understand the whole thing with Shiro. I think I was so caught up in my fascination with the show and the characters the first time around, and binge watching when you don’t know what’s gonna happen obviously pushes things out so I didn’t fully retain everything and was basically watching the series on fangirl brain lol. But now, I know what happens, so I can look for details and things I may have missed.

Also, I can confidently say that I was and still am right about Lotor. It’s fuck Lotor gang for life. I never trusted that guy, not for a minute. I can appreciate his level of slay at certain times, but it cannot outshine his malevolence.

I can also confidently say that I’m forever grateful I found this show after it ended. As fun as the fandom probably was for the people who were normal about it, I am sooooo glad I don’t have to deal with the the crazy shipping discourse and drama. I don’t ship characters with each other unless it’s canon, and even still, I just kinda accept it for what it is, like I don’t fangirl over the romances between two characters. I don’t really read fanfics about character x character. I know that’s what most fanfic is, but as you can tell, I use fictional characters and stories to leave reality for a while and put myself into a place with adventure and fun.

I’m just glad I found the fandom at a time that allowed me to write my fics without having a bunch of toxic people in the comments being like “Actually Keith is gay bc I said so, stop erasing his sexuality”. I have no problem with people who ship characters, I thoroughly enjoy Klance fanart, edits, and the VERY occasional fic on AO3. I just know I would’ve been harrassed and maybe even doxxed if it was 2017 and I made a Keith x Fem!Reader fic lmao. People should really try to remember that what you think about characters and who you ship them with doesn’t make it so. It’s all fictional, and people can do and feel whatever they want.

Lance is definitely the character I feel most connected with, but I think Keith is my favorite in terms of just like, a character if that makes sense. Like Lance is my cute, “Oh my god, protect him at all costs, I want him to get everything he wants, I think he’s beautiful and he’s the loml, but I relate to him even though I’m nothing like him” character (lowkey ironic when you consider Langst makes up half of seasons 6-8), and Keith is my “Oh my god, he’s gorgeous, I would do anything for him, idk if I want to be him or be with him, but he’s so badass and cool he would probably hate me if he was real, but I love him” character.

I know I basically just said the same thing in different ways, but I think my peers understand. It’s like the difference between a blorbo and the other word for a character that I’m currently forgetting.

ANYWAY, I’m waiting until tomorrow to start season 7 bc I’m emotionally spent after that. I knew what was going to happen, but it’s still intense. If I remember correctly, season 7 was very upsetting for me. Obviously I know most of the fandom hates pretty much anything past season 4, and I agree the show kinda goes downhill after that. But I think season 7 was more difficult to get through than season 8, (bc at that point I just wanted to finish the series after being emotionally destroyed) but I might be remembering wrong. I guess I’ll find out.

Also, is it just me, or does watching a show like Voltron make you want to be a space superhero? I get a similar feeling when watching Spider-Man, like I want to be able to join that world and be someone who helps people and gets to experience cool things. It’s lame, I know, but I’ll take the desperation to join a fictional world because I’m using fandoms and media as a form of escapism over the dread of existing solely as myself in the real world. Like if I need to read a couple of x reader fics in order to keep my head on straight, I’ll take it.

just found out my man Shiro was dead for 4 whole seasons

[lokimilf]

I FIGURED OUT LOTORS ORIGINAL PLOT

okay so this is just a theory, but i was thinking about it, and i have a feeling that i am somewhat correct.

this is the what lotor was actually doing at the colony:

yes, he technically “killed” those alteans. i think that they were in a type of death like stasis and that’s why bandor thought he was killing them. BUT. i have a theory that they weren’t supposed to stay dead.

i think lotor took their quintessence because he didn’t have a way into the quintessence field yet. he needed it right away and fast to keep the empire going. BUT. i don’t think he intended to just straight up leave them dead in a pod.

it was proven in season 6 that quintessence can bring someone back from the brink of death, example allura healing lance after pretty much dying from an electric shock.

i think lotors plan was to use the alteans temporarily, and then once he got access to his unlimited quintessence, restore them. they were never supposed to stay dead/on the brink of death.

lotor also states “we’re a few lives lost in the process? yes.” and we clearly see HUNDREDS of alteans still in the tubes. i have a feeling he’s referring to people who Actually died from this experiment and not the people in the tubes he was going to restore.

i’m typing this fast so hopefully it makes sense, but if this was not lotors original plan, i don’t know what was. just straight up killing his race for a dumb reason is out of character. this makes more sense to me, especially since his whole mission was preserving life.

you are so lucky to not have watched s4-8

people always ask me 'katie why did you only watch half of voltron??' and i'm just like guys i thought we all agreed that voltron was not a very good show 💀

Somehow got better. Finishing up Season 6.

Lotor shouldn't know anything about Honerva drawing her last breath because he was born after Honerva turned into Haggar. That was literally shown in earlier seasons. Unless we as the audience are to believe that there was still a little bit of Honerva left when she was pregnant with Lotor, which doesn't make sense given the actual flashbacks we were shown in the seasons prior.

I could be wrong on this, but please forgive me. I am doing too much for a stupid fix it fic. But it's my stupid fix it fic.

Also the virus coming from Shiro's arm is a nice touch. Literally forgot about that little plot point and mistakenly blamed Lotor for it, thinking that he was playing 4D chess once again.

[mauvemischief]

the Broganes will never not fuck me up to literally the highest degree

[rulesofdisorder]

thinking about voltron in the year 2023 i know i know BUT i can’t stop thinking about how the creators caught on to the fact that we caught on to the klance queerbaiting so they had the masterclass idea to introduce NEW queerbaiting with shiro and adam and we fell for it AGAIN despite ALL OF THE SIGNS

i still can’t believe it. they announced that shiro was gay and had a fiancé at a con, made the only scene between the two of them a breakup scene, and THEN they had adam die offscreen and just played a flashback of it right before shiro got back to earth. insanity. i’ve thought about this every day for weeks.

My fav thing about the Voltron lion is that it's supposed to be the most powerful weapon in the universe, but Shiro will be like, "Form Voltron!" and then Voltron starts getting it's ass kicked six ways to Sunday, so all the paladins have to disengage and fight separately.

[bleh1bleh2]

I was thinking about voltron so much today that during class I took more notes about voltron than actual notes </3
