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.

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.

Voltron’s “Deal with the Devil” Isn’t with Lotor, It’s with Zarkon
The more I watch the season 5 trailer, the more convinced I am that the trailer is attempting to mislead us a bit and play it up like Team Voltron is going to have to make some horrific deal with the devil with Lotor. However, based on what I’m actually seeing in the trailer, I’m …

alteanshallura: a princess and her champion {a shallura meta} The Lady and Knight is a chivalric image that many of us probably know very well… The iconic portrayal is of the Lady as a beautiful, admirable woman with dignity and nobility and The Knight as a strong, brave man of virtue sworn to protect her. There …
That makes sense. It always confused me, because its also very common to pay lipservice to allura’s feelings by saying she had a right or was in the right or was logical to think all galra were evil and untrustworthy, but if they really thought it was similar to real life racism, why would they say that? thats the same logic used to mistreat japanese-americans in the 40s and middle easterners now. i assumed nobody would really want to justify that if they understood that would be the end result.
Yes, exactly. (As a whole, I’m not sure tumblr is a good place to find completely logical responses to issues of social justice and racism… People here have a tendency to fluctuate between pitchforks-and-torches mob mentality and “Wait, are you telling me that the things I’m saying are also racist? IMPOSSIBLE.”) But yeah, the logic …
Feel free to not answer if you don’t want to drag up this discussion again, but I was reading through your galra keith tag, and I have to say, I kind of thought most people had interpreted Keith finding out that he was part galra as analogous to finding out that he was part white, rather than nonwhite. Because there are a lot of things that have been said about keith and the galra that become REALLY racist if that’s not the case, and it stops being even slightly justifiable if it ever was. idgi.
Hi! This is a really interesting message so thanks for sending it to me. And… it may just be that I’m under-read in terms of other people’s analyses of the reveal, but I don’t feel like I personally ever saw anyone comparing Keith learning he was part Galra to someone learning they are part white …
littlecofiegirl: echodrops: uneballe-unmort: So I was listening to the new Let’s Voltron Podcast and AJ and Neil were the guests just. A Few Things: 1. “Is that a comet in your pocket or are you just happy to be here, Lotor?” is not something i expected to hear from zarkon’s VA 2. SOMEONE ASKED HOW …
one writer vs many
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 …
No, Keith is not a mary sue.
ptw30: fenfishtrap: He’s a lead protagonist stuck in an ensemble cast. Writing an ensemble cast is hard, and it’s a different creature than ‘hero and plucky sidekicks’. AtLA, LoK, BtVS, and HP are all HaPS-style stories: the hero’s core journey provides the throughline. Side-character developments are reflections of, and reflect back on, the core protagonist. Additionally, …
