#if they wanted him to take over the black lion he shouldve never left 😭 and yet

its honestly so ridiculous to me how they spent copious amounts of time establishing shiro’s strong connection to the black lion and how he had to fight for it and keith’s connection to the red lion and her protectiveness over him and they like. jettison all of that post-s2 😭. IT SUCKS ASS. why would you spend so much time developing this if youre gonna chuck it away??? its mindboggling. the lion switch messed up sm bc i really couldnt believe any of the swapped paladins had as strong a connection to their new lions than their old ones. terrible clone arc, shouldve left keith and lance in red and blue, allura should’ve been black paladin not only because shes shown time and time again to be a resilient leader for the alliance and has acted in tandem with shiro but as a narrative arc its really compelling to have allura be in the same lion that zarkon had…what is the black lion’s allegiance if it still felt something for zarkon in s1? do the lions have moral codes? or are they ride-or-dies for their paladins irrespective of their actions? how would allura feel having the same lion as shiro (someone she respects) and zarkon (someone she loathes)? LIKE COME ON!

i get the reference they wanted to make to dotu, but the issue lies in that these characters are built for very different intentions in the reboot, so trying to force them into their previous molds doesn’t cut it BECAUSE IT WASN’T REALLY CONSIDERED HOW YOU GET FROM A TO B. and it just sabotages everything

#.txt #vld #keith in prev iterations has always stuck with his team and supports them #whereas keith in vld peaces out??? and u want me to believe hes a leader in s6 #how the hell did he earn it 😭 in other iterations its clear he has the pilots’ respect BECAUSE he doesn’t back down #i keep going back to keith bc i find his arc to be the most disjointed and one of the more poorly written ones #if they wanted him to take over the black lion he shouldve never left 😭 and yet
