I agree with you about the game show. It had a lot of potential as an episode 😔 I hated how much bullying Lance got back then😭

sameee like i have so many thoughts about that ep because i really really really loved the concept

like it would be a cool mini break from constant action yk? a lil fun ep

it would also show that they're really a powerful team and show that by working together

but that all went to shit because they could not communicate

let's take the sections of the ep:

first it's keith's turn: they are all shit no one can really work together so they can figure out what he's drawing and we have lance guessing everything really really wrong

pictionary is a family game, lance comes from a huge family, he cannot be this bad at pictionary

then we got lance's turn which is basically the show being like haha look at him he's dumb. he was never dumb, he always had very good ideas and was always shown being a good strategist (see return to balmera for example)

not a single team voltron member stood up for him they all seemed to agree with bob

i understand this was their attempt at comedy but it was way too over the top and just simply irritating

then he is shown communicating with bii boh bii thing only coran can do and i know the fandom agreed that that showed that lance was smart but yk what the show was trying to do?

they were trying to do the whole oh haha lance is communicating with the silly alien and he is succeeding wow! plot twist! he's smart in dumb ways!

then he gets in the acid thing and pidge attempts to save him in mini golf, and purposely fails which for some reason has them win?

that was a really dumb move of their considering they're supposed to be the smart one. you don't do a risky move like that when attempting to save a teammate from what you believe is death.

and then final round. when we're supposed to see the 'development' of the ep where they go from not working well together to being a team right?

well there are issues with this tho because

a. we never saw actual development and them gradually becoming a better team, they just were a bad team who left their teammates to be bullyed and a second later they loved each other. obviously we did not buy that

b. they are in season 7. they were supposed to be a great team by now. the whole oooh they were a bad team but now they're cool does not work here because they were supposed to be a good team already. they had just gotten a new black paladin again and they were suddenly cool? and then they weren't for most of this episode? it just didn't work well

what should have happened is either have an episode like this in the begining, like season 2 if you're gonna do the they developed as a team during the game trope because then it's believable. if you really want it in season 7 then have them at least be somewhat a team because that? was terrible

#ask #kira tag🌺 #vld criticism #idk what to tag lmao #sorry i went off #also addition that i didnt know where to put: red and black paladin are supposed to have the strongest connection #and keith just said... that #i know we all have our theories about why #but like come on man #keith would not make a dumb decision like that when he knew their lives were at stake #they really should have had him say smth better rather than continuing the let's shit on lance thing #dem's rants #EDIT: addition. hunk and allura basically did nothing the entire ep whats up with that?
