#and I went “oh. Ive seen this character type before. This is the Lance voltron. This is the early-seasons sokka. I know how this goes.”

Man. I wanna talk abt Rise Leo again now

#I’m SORRY it’s not my fault I picked the one everyone gets really annoying about as my favorite #No bro I’m different bro I swear bro wait please- #It’s like. I got bait-and-switched SO HARD with Leo on my first watch #I went in essentially blind outside of like. Basic knowledge of what a teenage mutant ninja turtle IS from cultural osmosis #But I didn’t know these characters I had no expectations #So I watched Minotaur Maze & I see the cocky blue jokester character whos worse than the rest of the cast and has a hint(TM) of insecurity #and I went “oh. Ive seen this character type before. This is the Lance voltron. This is the early-seasons sokka. I know how this goes.” #And I’m sort of at the point in my life where I’m over that trope Yknow? It was cool when I was 15 and hated myself but now that’s old hat. #So I didn’t care for Leo that much #And then I get to Many Unhappy Returns and that whole perception gets FLIPPED ON ITS HEAD #I REALIZE IVE BEEN PLAYED #TRICKED #BAMBOOZLED #The confidence wasn’t a ruse at all! and that reframes so much from season one and so much going forward!!! #He’s a cocky magnificent bastard and would probably be a badass hero if he gave a shit but instead is only here to be silly with his fam #And that’s AWESOME #But anyway I feel like most people never had that bait and switch moment #They just moved forward with the belief that Leo’s is a bit of a loser and hates himself for it #And then fandom does what fandom do and hyperfocuses on that one trait to the point of mischaracterization #And I’m sitting here like “I love all the content for my blorbo but oh no a lot of it’s weird and off” #Rottmnt

Dissecting Voltron S8 Trailers

Guys! You all know I just had to!!!

I'm so hyped and I'm basically going to show what I noticed, hope happens / think might happen based on how voltron has been so far.

I hope I remember everything I noticed as I write because man. I'm so excited!!! I tried to fit as many photos as I could but it stopped me at 10 😒 lol

OKAY!

So Honerva/Haggar is back (obviously) and Oh boy! She seems to have been through hell and back and is just creating a hell of her own! Looks to me as if she is trying to harness as much quintessence as possible to power up her Mecha.

What's interesting to me though is the Altean Colony. Looks like she has them fooled to think that maybe Voltron is being controlled by paladins who are ready to destroy them maybe? I can't think of any other reason for the Alteans to attack Voltron.

On the left is the Altean they had extracted from the Mecha they defeated and she looks... Sad? Maybe trying to take in that they arent the bad guys or maybe that her colony is in danger.

On the right you can see the Altean Colony with the Mechas out in the open and what looks like Haggar... Being able to use a portal? That would explain how the paladins can't find them. They are maybe too far away.

Speaking of the Alteans! Oh look! Some snuck into Atlas and tried taking the Crystal only to get whiplashed by it! From the trailer it looked like their eyes started glowing. Maybe because of the power/intensity of the Crystal.

Anyways, to me it looked like they needed the power of the Crystal to get something. What exactly that is, I don't know but it looks like something that creates a portal... Maybe like a Teleduv? To the Astral Plane? Wouldn't that be something else!

I'm going to get back to that point but it looks like only Hunk, Allura, Pidge, and Lance go to thr Astral Plane to defeat whatever Mecha Monster went inside because it sure as heck looks different than Honerva in her Mecha!

And Pidge! My Green Gurl! She's going to Eye Glow with her Lion but what connection does that Galra looking thing have with her???? Ugh!

Another thing. This is the monster they look to be fighting in the Astral Plane. Pidge and Hunk look like their kicking its butt! But where is Lance!?.

Which brings me back to Keith not being in the Astral Plane. It looks like he's fighting her or distracting her as the others try and defeat the other monster. This leaves me very worried for Keith! How can. He handle Haggar alone unless Atlas is helping him but then Atlas wouldn't be there because they would have taken the Crystal!?.

WHO. IS. THIS!?.

Idk who this can be because it sure isn't Shiro. Maybe that Female Character the cast said would be very significant tk S8? But who!?. Axca maybe? Romelle? Crolia!?. Gosh...

Here is Pidge and Allura looking to be fighting something. Maybe they defeated that monster and are helping Keith now? What I'm wondering is, where is this? What does it do? And also.

WHERE THE F IS LANCE!?.

So from what we see with the Astral Plane and the teleduv looking thing, seems like a good amount of episodes will be just of all that!

I didn't have enough room for pictures but Lotor! I knew he wasn't dead! (but didn't we all? Lol) but.... Right behind Allura?...

Maybe it's just me being hopeful but it feels as though Lotor is doing a full turn and being a good guy. He always seemed to despise Haggar so maybe he's going to help the paladins to defeat her because to him, that is no longer his mother and although Honerva seems to still be in Haggar, she can never really be there anymore.

So maybe since Lotor was gone, Haggar became leader of the Alteans (or maybe she has been)..... Oh shoot! I just had a thought! What if Haggar told the Altean Colony that Voltron killed Lotor and that's where their resentment began because Lotor was like their Emporer.! I'm not sure but that seems more of what may have happened to me.

I'm not sure. There is so much to look into that it's almost too hard to explain. Like why would they make the Mechas then?

Do you guys think that if Haggar acquires enough quintessence then it would give her passage to the Astral Plane through that portal thing, that kinda looks like a Teleduv, giving her infitine power since the Astral Plane is like just quintessence itself???

Ugh I don't know and I want to know so bad!!!!!!

And last! But not least! This!

It shows the Paladins from when they first started till now.

Shiro from Black to White because he has Atlas now.

Keith from Red to Black.

Hunk Yellow as he is.

Lance from Blue to Red.

And Pidge stays Green, of course, but there is a green nebula after her with an image?

Alot havr dissected is to look like Pidge on the left and Lance on the right. My Plance heart wants this to be true considering the dynamic of their relationship.

The fact that Lance's Lion hasn't been seen in that single trailer makes me think he's in trouble. Maybe that scene where Allura and Pidge are maneuvering around some blasts is them on their way to save him and maybe, JUST MAYBE, it ends up being Pidge to go and save Lance because if you all saw that scene where therr were two of the paladins (One crouched and the other standing), many already seen that its clearly Pidge and Allura. Im thinking that maybe Pidge reveals to Allura there that she has feelings for Lance.

And maybe just as Pidge is trying to save him she has her eye glow and Lance gets his last.

Now. Im DEFINITELY not saying that Lance is a sitting duck in this because like ive pointed out before in another post, he's been mentioned twice that he's destined for greatness! So he has a BIG role in whatever is happening in S8 and that's why they didn't really show anything of him.

GoshDangIt!!!!!!

Im so excited you guys that I can't contain myself! I already made it clear to my husband that were going to binge watch while pigging out because man. I'm not going to be able to stop watching. Its also great that my 3 yr old loves it haha.

Let me know what you guys think!!! Sorry I couldn't add more images!!!!

Please don't hate me btw! These are just metad im thinking but I'm not saying IT WILL happen because ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN!!!

P. S. - Sorry if there are any typos. Hard to type good as fast as I could with two kids lol
