Sigh…
Look, don’t get me wrong at all, I am so excited for actual LGBT representation in Voltron and I’m so glad that they chose a beloved character like Shiro to be that representation–I am absolutely not ungrateful and you will never catch me whining that it wasn’t any of the other characters such as Lance. …

If you don’t mind me asking, what do you find so bad? I mean, I can see rushed and incomplete plots plus plot holes with my novice eyes, but what do the eyes of a master see? And on the flip, what good do you see? I’m curious because it seems to me that you are a meticulous, scrupulous type and I find it an experience to try and see something from someone else’s pov, especially when said person has more skill or knowledge than me. I’m not saying they’re always right though. Just, different.
seasonsandcenturies: echodrops: Agreed–I definitely don’t want to go around suggesting that my way of viewing things is somehow better or more right than anyone else’s; everyone sees things differently, and obviously the Voltron writers have a very specific vision in mind for their own story.
