that last ask about Honerva actually got me wondering: what is your take on "losing" Haggar and having Honerva as a villain instead? I ask because Haggar, for me, was immensely fun as a wicked old badass witch, kinda crazy, unrepentantly evil, and yet sympathetic; Honevera's voice change and her plotline just never caught my interest. did those drastic changes serve VLD, in your opinion?
I’mgoing to be honest. I don’t know. (I say that a lot about VLD.)
I wasn’t happy when VLD decidedthat “Haggar” was bad and “Honerva” was good. It never really sat well with me . But I thought - okay, “Haggar” was brainwashed by the riftentities. Got it. I still don’t like it, but it makes sense.
…but then Season 5 rolled around, and that’s not really what happened either. Haggar/Honerva justkinda-sorta-maybe lost her memory when Zarkon didn’t? And she was always tooambitious…? Was that message? So girls shouldn’t be ambitious and get into STEM classes, and if you do, then you’ll eventually turn into an evil witch. Thanks, Voltron.
And then brain-addled Honerva took the name of the medic who came to check on herafter she was revived? That was…weird. I understood it, but that wasjust…anticlimactic, I guess. Or just…identify theft? The Galra Empire even has to worry about that!
It’s just another one of VLD’sstorytelling that didn’t really make sense to me. I feel like trying to makesense of any storylines after “Hole in the Sky” is just futile. Operation Kuronnever had any true resolution. Shiro’s past was never explored. Keith is justin Black. His mom promises never to leave him and then does. Lance somehow getsover being a second fiddle to Keith by…being a second fiddle to Keith. AndAllura dies with the aforementioned evil witch to save the universe in a story teamwork.
So Haggar’s story didn’t make sense, either. Voltron, not making sense since August 2017.
