SY-Y watches Voltron (in 2019): Misc. Lance Commentary

Context: I’m watching with @ficus-fig (who as seen about half of the show); I have not seen the show at all (beyond what I have seen now I mean) but know a lot of spoilers and general stuff. 

Ep 1: Wow Lance sure shows a lot of potential. He doesn’t seem anything like how others have described him to me.

(Later) in Ep 1: Okay I’m confused. I vaguely know stuff that happens later so how does a show start off with SO MUCH SET UP in a character they supposedly throw under the bus later?

Throughout Ep 1: Why is Keith such a fucking douche to Lance? He insulted Lance literally over NOTHING a total of 3 times and Lance just took it. I don’t even care that Lance snapped by the 4th insult, I would’ve cracked by insult #2 so idk how Lance lasted until Insult #4. 

^Somewhere in the middle of the season: Wait a minute. Keith’s terrible at social interactions on all levels and seems to run on impulse. So...Keith is either a liar or this is a huge plothole but there is no way Keith forgot Lance in Ep 1 with how ready he was to insult Lance - as if he thought of these things before and jumped at the chance to finally say them. Keith has shown no ability to be able to be so specific and quick (in his words) over anything or anyone else (snappy, yes, but that’s it). In fact, he is consistently shown to be impulsive and just BAD when it comes to communicating in general. So HOW was he so ready to shove a knife into Lance and twist it after claiming to ‘not remember’ Lance? 

^^All the episodes: Okay, almost all the problems/plotholes regarding Keith seems to go away when you apply him being gay for Lance as canon. 

Ep 9: Okay maybe I’m wrong and Keith can be good/fast with words-WAIT A MINUTE! HIS INSULT TO LANCE WAS MEMORY-BASED! HE WAS REFERRING TO THE FORGOTTEN BONDING MOMENT! HOLY SHIT KEITH TOTALLY WAS THINKING UP THIS INSULT FOR LIKE 4 EPISODES! yeah, he totally remembers Lance...

Ep 10: So when does Lance start flirting with Allura (consistently)? Does he really do it a lot or was that an exaggeration from the fandom? He only flirted with her I think literally two times so far. I counted. 

After Ep 10: Okay...was Lance originally the main character in the concept and they just forgot to remove all the set ups and parallels-to-Shiro that was sprinkled in throughout the entire season? Cuz from what I know of what happens later on it really doesn’t feel like they will follow through with setting up Shiro to be Lance’s mentor and help Lance hone his already-established skillsets. If this is true, I feel so bad for the people that saw this too and didn’t see the disappointment coming......though I’m now pre-disappointed knowing this so idk which is worse...

Me right now: Okay I just found out the season only has 11 episodes so I’m apparently right before the season finale and idk what to expect...Lance better be awesome in it though...

Idek when this happened: Okay so I love Lance. There is no Lance-hatin’ under my roof. I will die for him. I will give him the world. I don’t know how this happened in one season so I’m also going ‘WTF” to myself. I’m not supposed to get attached when I didn’t even FINISH the season yet. Oh god. I’m already feeling pre-disappointment but and I’ve decided I’ll definitely take pre-disappointment over disappointment knowing vaguely what happens later. 

[EDIT: we are now past this point]

Me watching Voltron Ep 4 & 5 for the first time:

My friend ( @ficus-fig ) and I experiencing a very early Shance moment as I watch Voltron for the first time (my friend has already seen all this but i haven't).

Me: SHANCE! SHANCE! SHANCE!

Friend: omg there it is!

-----------------------------------------

Me: HE VOLUNTEERED TO STAY! Which is nice for Shance but I question why you’re not sending out your most skilled fighter in either of the other two situations...?

-----------------------------------------

Friend: Look at how gently he lays him down

Me: the detail of how carefully he holds his head and puts him down man...<3

-----------------------------------------

Friend: That scene almost looked like Shiro was straddling Lance

-----------------------------------------

Me: I want a fanfic of Shiro’s inner monologue during the whole time he was with an unconscious Lance

Would you rather be flirted with by someone who sounds like Professor Layton, Marlowe Gardiner-Helsin, Johnny Yong Bosch, or Robbie Daymond?

Send me “Would you Rathers”

I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU DIDN’T SAY GLEN COCO INSTEAD! 

I love my boy, Takao, but voice-wise, it’s not Rei and Kai. 

Man, Layton has the British edge but I don’t think that’s enough!

I’ve listened to Robbie Daymond as a protagonist for my…whatever double-digit (at least) number on a game so I’ve spent a good while with this higher voice. And then again as a secondary main protagonist. Then I’ve heard his more ‘normal’ voice so I probably heard the whole spectrum. It’s fine? It’s recognizable but not quite like….Gideon Emery (but i guess that would make this too easy cuz i would just say his name hands down)

The closes answer is probably Mr. Bosch then. While totally underutilized, Bosch has a pretty great range (I don’t think people believe me when I say this) and he can pull off sounding really charismatic and flirty and make it sound oh so nice. (obviously it doesn’t work with every part of his voice range but you know what I mean).
