I finally got to it now and I hated it so much. I'm hurt.
Many, many hugs.
I feel your pain. :(
I’ve always said from the start, from when Lotor joined the Paladins in S5, that he would end up betraying them. I’ve always used the phrase: “Lotor does for Lotor.” So I’m not hurt that he didn’t stay with our heroes. I expected as much, since he’s still a villain. (Although I did hope he’d redeem himself after his betrayal. Even more so because his feelings for Allura are true. But not in a “I’m the ever good guy/big hero now”, because he’s still Lotor, if that makes sense? And even if he didn’t redeem himself after all, I would have been fine with it as well.)
But I’m hurt with the way they went about it.
(Which is a whole rant that I don’t want to get into right now because I’m too tired; I might write a whole post about it later.)
I still loved that Hunk got his well-deserved spotlight again (without food jokes!), I still loved to see more of Hunk and Pidge’s friendship (team Punk did it again), I still loved seeing the bond between Lance and Allura developing further (now he’s finally realised what he feels for her is more than just a crush, that boy is in love), I still loved seeing Coran getting more screentime again (he went all John McClane in the finale), and I especially still loved all that Sheith (“I love you.” “The Red Paladin’s connection to you runs deeper than the others” “I love you.” “Keith’s told me all about you.” “I love you.” “You found me.” “I love you.”; it’s clear I loved all the Sheith, always have, always will.)
But I’m so very bitter with the way they handled Lotor’s arc. He, as a character, with all his potential and all his build-up, deserved more than this rushed, all over the place mess it was just to become a Zarkon 2.0 after all.
