ptw30: fenfishtrap: One thing I’ve been pondering about VLD in particular is its use of a writing staff. This is the usual pattern in American dramas, after al. VLD is like any other American-written long series: gradually distinct writerly voices can be noted. Some episodes shine more in subtle ways bc the assigned writer is …
berrylord:Berry loves… Voltron! Berry loves… Anime mech suits!!! Berry loves… MOTHER FRICKING ALLURA!!!! 😍 @toasterdoodle22 Sure that one on the top isn’t ringing any bells for you? ://// There’s similar and then there’s that level of similarity.

The Blade of Marmora Did Not Deserve This
illstickuinawormhole: echodrops: I’m like unspeakably busy and don’t have time to really think or do anything outside of work, but by god, season 4 of Voltron is haunting my writing sensibilities so badly. Or rather, what I should say is the portrayal of the Blade of Marmora in season 4 is bugging the hell out …

uneballe-unmort: okay i also need to discuss Lotor’s scene with Zarkon because it was just so fucking weird and gave some interesting insights. Lotor puts on a whole act in front of Zarkon, one that is obviously cultivated and a normal part of their interactions. And the act itself is him being?? a hero-worshiping son …
