like it’s just lance being lance, plus these are just small comics for fun, you’re not gonna get some AMAZING character revelations or development here lmao it’s pretty clear the main goal is to be goofy and make kids laugh
plus i thought it was actually pretty sweet that he was able to discern that the dragon WAS the princess, it shows he’s very human at his core and willing to give anyone a chance and listen no matter how evil they seem (this was also seen in the episode where he befriends the yupper)
My favourite thing about the Voltron discourse? – It’s entirely made up.
Because when you think about it, every problem in the Voltron fandom was created by the fandom itself.
“Shiro is 25″
You got that from a video where 25 was said to be the “top range”, meaning Shiro isn’t older than that. He can still be anywhere from 19 to 25, but you keep insisting that your interpretation is the correct one while all others are wrong.
“The other paladins are 16″
Again, they were said to be in their late teens. If “teens” starts at 13 and ends at 20, 16 is the middle. “Late teens” would equal anything from 17 to 19, but again – you think everyone who interprets it differently than you does so to offend you personally.
“Allura was made a teen so Kallura could become canon”
Allura was never said to be an adult to begin with. Y’all just saw a dark-skinned girl act vaguely mature and decided that she must become the “mom character” and cater to everyone’s needs.
“Lotor is a rapist”
Sincline was a rapist. In the Japanese original. That no one of you bothered to watch anyways. Any excuse you come up with to hate a character that hasn’t made an appearance in the show yet is a direct product of your own imagination. Just like any other complaint you have about the show and its writers, really.
“Voltron is queerbaiting”
There’s no indications of romance in the actual show yet. The only queerbaiting nonsense comes from people that keep insisting their ship is canon – when it isn’t. LGBT+ representation is very possible, but other ships you’re constantly tearing down are LGBT+ as well. You don’t care about representation, you only care about whether your ship becomes canon or not.
Queerbaiting is an issue, but your favourite mlm/wlw pairing not being endgame is not “queerbaiting”. Stop misusing words like pedophilia, heteronormativity, homophobia, queerbaiting, gaslighting & abuse. You can dislike something without it having to be morally wrong.
Admit you don’t like the thing. Blacklist it. Move on. It’s as simple as that.
You’ll always find something to get mad over if you just look hard enough.
the crew loves the fan response, they love the fanart, and they’re hoping to see people cosplay! tim hedrick (head writer) said he’s “shocked at the volume of fanwork and all the enthusiasm”
one of the first main decisions was to make pidge a girl!
the reason why alfor isn’t around anymore (”was killed in cold blood”) is because he had all the answers the paladins could have needed so having him around would have made their job too easy. hedrick called alfor “corrupt”
there are apparently more secrets to be revealed about shiro’s arm/hand!
the crew knew that season 2 was happening so that’s why they ended s1 in a cliffhanger
we’ll get to see the diverse world in the background, of people continuing to live their life under galra rule, etc. they rly want to explore more of the galra empire since the paladins are separated.
“who would win in an ironchef cooking contest between coran and hunk?” “coran might have a chance with an altean audience, but hunk is the universe’s wide winner”
“why did you have to separate the paladins? 😦 “ “because if we hadn’t you wouldn’t get to have that warm feeling once they reunite!”
there was a question about the age of the paladins; Shiro is 25, Pidge is around 14 years old, and the other paladins are in their late teens
SPOILERS FOR SEASON 2 DO NOT READ PAST THIS IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW
