Iâve seen some people posting about how season 4 just ignored all the development in season 3 and yada yada so I decided to make a post about my view on the most popular complaints.
âShiroâs headache and the whole it must be a clone theory was totally put aside because now he pilots Black again!â
Shiro going back to being the black paladin wasnât him just saying âwell letâs try this again just becauseâ and the black lion going âone time is not enough but TWO times hell yeah u my paladinâ
The team was in danger, Keith was away and was constantly showing signs that he would end up leaving the team. Another thing, Shiro had to convince Black to let him pilot it.
My point is: Black would not let the paladins fucking die if it could do something to save them. After letting Shiro (or clone Shiro) pilot it Keith decided he was going to leave and BUM thereâs no return now and Shiro (or clone Shiro) had to be the black paladin.
Besides, if the clone builds connections with the team and loves them as much real Shiro it will be 1000000 times more heartbreaking to show real Shiro coming back.
âLanceâs and Keithâs relationship development was completely thrown away!â
Those kids are at a war. Thatâs what theyâre doing in space, theyâre fighting a war. You guys really think Keith (the guys whoâs been fighting with all his strength the whole time, who has put his friends in danger just for the possibility of attacking Lotor, who trains more than anyone) is going to focus more on a crush we are not even sure he really has than on the fight against the Galra?
Voltron is not a show about two boys finding more about themselves and slowly falling in love with each other. Their relationship is a SUBPLOT, let the main plot run its course for Godâs sake.
âLanceâs character development was ignored and now heâs back to the way he was in season 1!!â
Lance didnât really open up for the team about his insecurities. He had one good talk with Keith, who left, and thatâs it. Lance may be self-centered but heâs not self-centered enough to put his problems above the war theyâre fighting. The whole thing about Lanceâs character is that he hides his insecurities behind a mask of confidence and jokes.
Moreover, being insecure doesnât mean being sad all the fucking time. He genuinely enjoyed being an actor and doing performances and flying around so let the boy be happy.
He never stopped being a flirt either.
âLotorâs generals would not turn on him like that!â
We donât know that. In fact, we know close to nothing about Lotorâs relationship with his generals.
As much as I love the idea of all the characters getting good development I know thatâs not really possible. The show is not about Lotor and his generals, is about team voltron.
Besides, we might get some more information in the future, just like how it was done with Zarkonâs backstory.
âKeith leaving the team ruined the dynamic season 3 built!â
Firstly, Keith never wanted to be the leader and after the talk he had with Lance it was obvious he would not claim Red back when Shiro came back. Secondly, the Blade kind of represents a family to him in a sense, theyâre a connection to his past. With Shiro being back and Red having a good pilot, Keith saw the possibility of helping team Voltron and the Blade at the same time. He took the opportunity.
In season 3, Keith wasnât the leader because he wanted to, he was the leader because he had to. Now he can do something he really wants to do instead of being stuck in a position he doesnât consider his own. Be happy for the guy.
âLotor has barely been introduced as a main antagonist and is already having a redemption arc!â
Lotorâs intentions were very different from Zarkonâs intentions. He wasnât after Voltron like crazy, trying to destroy the Lions or get them for himself. Lotor had a very specific plan and just used his position as the new leader of the Galra empire to to help him with it.
The talk he wants to have is not a âWow Iâm suddenly a good guyâ. Lotorâs is an enemy for the Galra now and if wants his plan to succeed he needs allies. My enemyâs enemy is my best friend. Team voltron kind of has a debt to Lotor now that he literally saved everyone so he has an advantage.
Lotor doesnât want to become a hero, he just wants his plan to work.
Thatâs it. Might do a part 2 later.
