Sooo what are your thoughts on voltron's finale?

Hooo boy. Thoughts about the finale. I have….many…some good, some bad. Be prepared cause uh this is going to be LONG.

To start I loved a couple episodes - the one Kinkade records on his camera and the carnival episode. Those were both great. The episode that dove into Honerva’s backstory was really good as well and baby Lotor made me tear up it was so sad.

Pidge and the whole Holt family was fucking amazing. The whole “grounded” scene with her and Colleen was wonderful I laughed so hard. Plus the carnival episode with them bargaining for tokens and a family photo, I loved that.

Hunk was so amazing. Not only am I so happy about his ending - spreading diplomacy through food is so him - but he really touched my heart when he connected with the Alteans by making them those cookies. It seems so trivial but when you think about it, that kind of thing makes sense and it’s such a wonderful piece of his character.

Allurance was cute, I’ve never really shipped it hardcore, but it was nice to see them get together. It did feel super rushed (”I love you” on the first date? Oh Lance, no). Plus the whole altean markings on Lance confused the fuck out of me.

The fight scenes were kinda cool, I guess. I’ve never really watched for the mecha, so they were just kinda there.

The end with Allura crushed me, and it pissed me off that Honerva was just like “Oh yeah y’all are right guess I better help this Princess - who I hate - restore of all reality!” Power of love and compassion? Though her meeting Zarkon and Lotor at the end was really sweet.

And uh, elephant in the room, with Shiro and Keith. I want to say I’m disappointed, not because it didn’t become canon - I honestly never thought it would be, so I wasn’t really surprised. But the way they handled their relationship, their canon friendship, really bothered me. Literally they only exchanged words to say military jargon and Shiro teased Keith at the carnival. Which, cool. Idk that just felt like a huge let down, especially in the wake of “The Black Paladins” and “A little adventure”.

And the whole credits thing. Keith being an ambassador and senior BoM member is fucking fantastic and I love him, but I don’t think I’ll ever be ok with the ending they gave Shiro. And NOT because I ship sheith (which, I do).

Shiro gave up his relationship with Adam, the love of his life to go to Kerberos. Shiro risked literal death from disease complications, to go to Kerberos. He singlehandedly turned the Atlas into a mecha and piloted it by himself on a regular basis. He’s an amazing diplomat and leader versed, in alien customs and traditions. And you’re going to look at all of that, and tell me that a year after the final battle, he’s just going to settle down with some rando (sorry Curtis? you’re cute I guess.) and throw away everything he’s worked for???? I think the fuck not.

It just felt very sloppy and slapstick to me to be completely honest. It’s like going to the movies expecting to see something that’s Brokeback Mountain level of emotional, and getting Fast and Furious instead (nothing against the fast and furious movies they’re…good i guess? idk i don’t really do action). It just didn’t fit with everything that’s already been presented to us in the canon.

I’m very disappointed with the way the show ended and I’ll be honest about that if anyone asks me. They could have done a lot better in regards to a lot of things.

It’s still a good show in spite of the finale, and I love the fandom and I’ll be here no matter what, I’m just going to live in fanfiction and fanart and meta for the rest of my days.
