So are we 100% sure at this point this guy is a clone and not the real Shiro, while the one in Season 1 and 2 is the real thing or at least a different individual from the one in Season 3?

http://www.denofgeek.com/us/tv/voltron/267024/voltron-why-did-shiro-return-so-quickly

Also after reading this article, does Shiro actually sell that much merch? From what I know of this show's production Season 3 was probably actually written about a year ago, back when Season 1 was just coming out, and AFAIK actual merch for this show didn't come out until a while later, especially Shiro figures.

Just how much control over this show do Montgomery and Dos Santos actually have? I thought one of the advantages of having this show on Netflix was that they had more freedom to do what they wanted with the story since it was less dependent on things like toy sales and immediate viewership numbers compared to network shows.
>>
>>94864330
Actually after rereading the article I guess it confirms whatever happened to Shiro at the end of Season 2 didn't kill him, at least not permanently, and that he was definitely going to come back to the team. So no astral plane shenanigans, and probably no clone subplots either. Shame because as far as Voltron plots go the possible clone stuff is definitely hooking me harder than a lot of the other stuff in the show.

>>
>>94864628
People were already speculating about clone subplots when season 1 came out so they could've always planned for it and just repurposed a preexisting idea for an earlier season. Only thing is how it throws off the rest of the team and led to a more slapdash reunion.

>Just how much control over this show do Montgomery and Dos Santos actually have?
They're playing in a sand box. Voltron is not a original show like Avatar or Korra. Yes Lauren and Santos write the story but in the end, DW has to approve of what's written in it. It probably played out like this
>Santos gives the executives the outline to how they'll handle the story
>The executives sees that Shiro won't return for a long time
>They tell Santos to bring Shiro back early
>Santos says OK but why?
>Explain that they'll have Voltron figures for the children and want the paladins to be present in the show
Voltron is not Lauren and Does Santos 'baby.' They just got selected to reboot it along with StudioMir.
>Also after reading this article, does Shiro actually sell that much merch?
We won't ever know, which lions kids buy is never posted. The older fandom prefer Lance so he's the popular one amongst our demographic.

When you say older who exactly do you mean? Because the older folks that grew up with Voltron don't all like Lance.

>The older fandom prefer Lance so he's the popular one amongst our demographic.
Really? I thought Sven was super popular. Neither Takashi or Ryou had a lot to do in Golion but he made enough of an impression on the original viewers that they gave him a whole bunch of original storylines in the third season even though he wasn't even a pilot anymore.
>>
>>94865001
Original viewers don't know about Ryou or Quiet, at least not in the way they knew Sven.
>>
>>94864330
So in light of them originally planning for Shiro to be gone for most of the series, but the suits wanting him to stick around, the clone plotline is the writers' idea of a workaround. Makes sense, it's not that they wanted but they get to eat their cake and have it too with Kuron.

When is Romelle going to show up? Did they say?

>>94864946
Teenagers, young adults, and adults. At cons there are a lot of Lance lovers and cosplayers, most interviewers let Lauren and Santos know that Lance is their favorite. Lance is Mitch Iverson, Tim Hendrick, Barlee, and Santos's favorite. Lance is the fandoms bicycle and his ships have the most notes/retweets out of any ship that doesn't involve him. Lance is everywhere on social media to the point where anons here even complain about it. I don't think I should mention how crazy the fandom got on his birthday.

Believe it or not anon, anyone who doesn't like Lance are the minority.
>>
>>94865172
I suppose I am that minority then. I still like DotU Lance better than VLD's.

More freedom ≠ absolute freedom. Just because they are able to push things a bit w/r/t the show's rating and explore themes that wouldn't necessarily fly on cable, doesn't mean they can do whatever the fuck with an IP they don't even own.
>>
>>94865172
A lot of those are teenage girls, and they don't really care about the merch, they just want to self-insert as him in fanfiction. Not the oldfags, who I don't know how they feel about the original pilots but while Lance was probably popular I don't think the execs would've considered him a deal maker.
>>94865215
Same, he's my fave of the original five. Sven is great but he's not in it nearly enough.
>>
>>94865121
I wonder how deep it impacts the plot, since it wasn't part of their original vision, but was also decided on relatively early in development. I hope it's not treated as a stopgap thing as it's one of the most interesting aspects of the plot so far.
>>
>>94865250
>I don't think the execs would've considered him a deal maker.
They'll just keep it into consideration when making merch. We're dollar signs to these people, while the children keep them afloat.

Aren't cartoon execs usually infamous for only focusing on young boys and ignoring the teenage female demographics because, whether it's a chicken or egg problem, they usually aren't the ones considered responsible for buying the toys or other merch these guys profit off of.
Unless there's a forward-thinking employee who decides to force Lauren to shoehorn a subplot where Lance is transformed into an Altean in the last season so they make millions of Tumblrbux off of selling cosplay kits for it.

There's some stuff from as far back as S1 that seems to gel with the clone theory, so it seems pretty well integrated. Joachim seemed pretty candid in that interview so I wonder what other things they really wanted but had to leave on the cutting room floor.

Plot stuff I couldn't even begin to speculate about, but I'd put a dollar on them asking to have more blatant homos and getting shut down
>>
>>94865677
Kek, the lion slippers was a guess. They said they were planning on making more women merch so expect Voltron women sized shirts, novels, necklaces, or towels. If we're lucky we'll get the slippers considering there's a Voltron snuggie in the store.

>It felt very strange and out of place for a show that had been so well paced up to that point.

Are there people out there that seriously think this? Also, from what I've seen, the reception for S3 has been largely positive (it was honestly the one to finally get me invested in this show when I was just a casual viewer before), yet this article makes it sound like it was the blunder of the century. And I'm not a batshit Shirofag or anything, but I found episode 5 in particular to be one of the most stunning episodes the show has had so far.

The pacing for episode 5 in isolation was fantastic, but it was an island in a sea of rushed pacing. The first three episodes pushed the lion switch too quickly, even though they tried their best to justify it, and the reunion also got glossed over given all the angst over Shiro being gone in the first episode.

Yeah the pacing is already probably the biggest issue I've had with the show since the beginning. Intro episode of season 1 was very rushed, Balmera episodes went on way too long. I don't remember that much about Season 2's pacing but the Balmera stuff dragged on too much for a reveal we already knew was going to happen.

All I know about this show comes from one of my friends who watched it and now spams nonstop gay porn on twitter.

Is my general understanding correct?
>>
>>94866131
Individual episode pacing of S2 wasn't too bad for the most part but in hindsight to the more tightly focused S3 a lot of it was unnecessary padding and plot couponing that could've been combined into a single episode. The Lance/Hunk mermaid episode should've been folded back into the first one, the Olkari one could've been joined with one of the other episodes like the weblum or giant waterbears, and all the teludav stuff could've been combined into one episode. While having episodes that focused on the paladins actually interacting with each other. Although I'm going to insist on leaving Space Mall alone because that had some good character moments.

>The first three episodes pushed the lion switch too quickly,
it felt fine to me, I thought the lions forcing the switches to take place in the middle of a heated battle was a good choice narratively to speed things along. three episodes was half of our mini-season so I'm glad it didn't drag out more.
personally I think one of the biggest issues with the pacing is there's no real sense of how much time is passing between each episode. Josh Keaton mentioned that it could have been "months" between the ending of S2 and the start of S3, and having no indication of that and leaving it ambiguous just throws things off for me.
>>
>>94866188
Before I watched this show I was exposed to a lot fanon stuff so I thought Shiro and Keith were literal brothers, Allura was the mom who gave birth to everyone, Pidge was canonically trans or gay, and Lance was the protagonist.

This show's worst and most consistent issue is with pacing. It zooms through moments that could be poignant, moments of characters experiencing some emotional depth, while lingering too long on needless filler or making time for lame quips/juvenile humor. I'm not sure if they'll ever fix this or if it's been brought to Lauren/Joaquim's attention. Articles or reviews like >>94864330 that state the show has great pacing probably don't help.

My first exposure to Voltron was because this OPM artist I was following posted Shiro with the caption 'Space dad.' I saw Voltron again in /cm/ and asked the anons there if it was a good show and that I really liked the white haired characters design. They quickly told me his name was Shiro, but even then I was wary of Voltron because it was made by the Legend of Korra people and I just knew because of that it would've had a huge tumblr following. During those times I considered tumblr to be pure cancer, it still is.

>I disliked Lance for basically tumblr reasons(annoying loser who keeps going after girls who don't like him) and was honestly surprised to see all the love he got from that crowd anyway.

It's Drako in Leather Pants syndrome. Lance could turn evil, rape Pidge and Allura, turn to face the screen, tell the audience that a woman's proper place is in the kitchen, and his SJW fangirls would still defend him and say he's homosex for Keith because they think he's hawt.

Imagine if Lance looked like Hunk, how popular do you think he'd be?

>>94867241
I'd say batcat but I'm a little bit of a furfag so take my opinion with less than a grain of salt.
>>
>>94867206
It really is weird that Lance turned out to be their self insert out of any character. In a way I understand it but I'm also perplexed at the same time.

>>94867241
All Keiths are kings.

>>94867262

Clones can still grow hair.

>>94867321
I would've expected Pidge to be the self-insert for teenage girls on tumblr, but eh, at least she doesn't have to get ruined by that shit.
>>
>>94866088
Yeah, I think the last of a timeframe between episodes really hurts the show. The thing that stood out to me the most was how in one episode, lotor got the special meteor thing, and then it felt like two days later he'd made a ship out of it. just weird.
>>
>>94867361
Pidge is too smart for being the average tumblr fujos self-insert, Lance makes sense actually.

Clones can grow hair. If anything, the hair length is one of the things that hints towards it not being Shiro. No way was he gone long enough to justify that much hair.

It confuses me that everyone headcanons her as a male to female tranny. I thought they were going to shove the female to male tranny shit on her when the series first dropped.

>>94867361
I think she only really works for a subset of girls to relate to-- if nerdy androgyny isn't your style, you're probably not going to see yourself in her so much.
>>
>>94867449
I guess Relena bashing would become unacceptable.
>>
>>94867398
Not really, Lance STILL gets a lot of those kinds of shit. At this point it's all about the self-doubt and who's easiest to turn into Bella Swan because FFXV fandom has a massive problem with being 90% angsty/Sueish Prompto fic since the other characters are aristocrats and therefore hard to relate to despite having much more ficcable personalities.
>>
>>94867400
Yeah but not computer-genius level of smart. The average fujo's knowledge of computer extends to spergposting on the internet.

To be honest though, it seems like the self-insert is usually the character who is babied by everyone or the one who babies everyone.

Yeah, I'm glad we got it over with quickly 2bh. Now that the writing is improving, drawing it out a half dozen episodes at a time is much more palatable.

>>94867442

I don't personally really understand self insert-type behavior so I always forget that it's a thing. I just ship characters who I think are cute together. This explains a lot.

>>94867459
No, I've read the reasons why people liked Zutara(opposites attract, the development they've gotten), but I couldn't really relate to it at all because I never noticed any chemistry. Katara being a self-insert for them just makes more sense to me.

>>
>>94867520
FFXV fujos aren't all that much in the way of SJWs. They're pretty old-school and the occasional ship discourse is usually more about how shitty Noctis/Luna is (which isn't wrong, also Noctis/Lunafags can be pretty bitchy in their own right) or about Ardyn/Noctis being wrong and abusive when that's why half of its fans ship it in the first place.
Actually the old-schoolness is a big part of why Promptofaggotry is such a big problem, they're still stuck in the 2000s fandom mindset minus the overt misogyny and "Noctis is my kawaii bishie squee~" talk.
>>
>>94867534
And Aang is Bryke's self-insert. It all checks out in the end.

>>94867449
Duo was basically the Lance of the GW era. So much self-insertion and OOC bullshit, it was ridiculous.

Funnily enough, Duo was my favorite, yet I can't stand Lance.

Noctis is actually a really swell funny and chill guy and almost at Zidane's level. I'm surprised, I came in expecting to hate him but ended up really loving him to the point he's in my top three FF protags and getting really upset when he died.
And that's ignoring the part where he became Kuron-tier hot at the end.

>>94867514
I thought of the idea that Kuron might have been the real Shiro all along, having just finally broken out after a year of captivity, while the Shiro we encountered in the first two seasons was the clone, which would be a pretty neat twist, but the big wrench in this theory is the prison identification numbers and the timing of all the stuff about Operation Kuron.

Keith's worst boy status in the early seasons will serve to make his development look even better when he becomes best boy by the final episode. At least, that's what I'm hoping because I can't stand this guy.

>>94867700
There are some enjoyable aspects but it's very flawed. The obsessive fandom spawned out of shipping and not the show actually being a masterpiece.
>>
>>94867785
I think season 3 has been an improvement for Keith, but he's still my least favorite character. He's just not quite as far behind now as he was before. If they would actually give him interesting relationships with someone besides Shiro it'd go a long way, I think. Season 2 had me thinking they were going that way with him and Allura, but now I'm not so sure.

Same, but I still think he just feels like the forced shonen protagonist. Even Keith himself doesn't feel like a leader, he's supposed to have potential as one because that's what the typical talented delinquent MC have.

I hope Kuron does something interesting but he probably won't -- he'll just be a way to cash cow on Shiro.

The type of pilot destined for the red lion? It's emphasized in season one that it's more wild and harder to control(obviously meant to be similar to Keith), and prefers a pilot who acts more on instinct.

>He gets shit on by everyone

See, I can't help but think the writers share the same "muh Langst" kink that his cancerous fandom has.
>>
>>94868124
Yep, and Lance tended to be a bit redblooded and bad tempered in the first season too though it tapered off as the series went on. It feels like they wrote it with the Season 3 traits in mind but tacked on those personality aspects in the first season as a misdirect. But really I think the big problem here is that Season 2 could've been used to bridge that disconnect if they didn't waste it on so much monster-of-the-week crap.
>>
>>94868137
Yeah it's probably going to happen, I just don't see Lance being favored in the show so far. They even have other characters pointing out that he doesn't do anything.

I don't mind what they're doing to him so far though, Lance being less trash is not a bad thing.
>>
>>94868124
I disagree. Keith never did anything 'right hand' to Shiro besides saving him from Zarkon. Keith was quiet and kept to himself, even towards Shiro.

>It's emphasized in season one that it's more wild and harder to control

Am I the only one who never got the "he's a hotblooded hothead" description he's constantly labelled with? He comes across as bland and basic, if anything. It always seemed like a case of "tell, don't show" in an attempt to make him seem like he has personality.
>>
>>94868204
Lance will get flanderized by writers again while Keith gets the development he needs
>>
>>94867986
True, it's more that Keith's MUH SHIROing wavers the line between annoying and sweet in a twisted kind of way and if they pushed it hard enough it'd actually become pretty entertaining.
>>
>>94868218
Pidge describing him as EMO was more on point.
>>
>>94868204
Allurance bro don't end up like lotllura anon, you're too good for that.
>>
>>94868218
Wholeheartedly agree, this was my main complaint about him in season 1, though ironically after the fact in 3 is probably the one where he showcases that trait of blindly rushing into things the hardest.
>>
>>
>>94868218
I think it's that when he decides on something, he goes all stubborn

Worse, he goes full edgelord and does something monumentally stupid but still sticks with it
>>
>>94868218
Yeah, with you on this. I forget which season it was, but there's a scene where Lance says something like "no don't pick Keith for this, he's a hothead!" after Keith basically never acting like a hothead at any point. The dude's mostly just been written as stubborn.
>>
>>94868259
If anything, the new interview makes it sound more and more like Kuron isa clone after all so they can appease the execs while still maintaining their original plans for Shiro after all.

He was pretty hotheaded for trying to challenge Zarkon 1v1 in the season one finale.
>>
>>94868284
Yeah, I really don't get how people are interpreting it to mean the clone theory has been proven false. Even if he's not a literal clone, that bit with Shiro's "weird headache" is pretty concrete evidence that there's something(probably sinister) going on with him. Ya don't just write in a line like that for no reason.
>>
>>94868278
I can see a point if they talk about him acting on instinct or not thinking his actions through before doing them, which is kind of what they seemed to be moving towards in season 2, but that's not the same as hotheaded, which they kept trying to hammer in the first season. He had his rash side, but in more of a cold-blooded, callous kind of way than what we typically associate with hotbloodedness which tends to be more about boisterousness like Lance has.
>>
>>94868000
How do you feel about harem outfits and implied Zeith, anon.
>>
>>94868327
I think the bigger potential issue is that he's a disposable afterthought and they employed him as a stopgap so they can wrench out some drama before killing him off to make room for the real Shiro's return. Rather than his plotline having being essential to the main plot and "real" Shiro's characterization.
However since people were speculating about clones since season 1 it's possible they always planned for something like this even if not in this fashion, and thus working in Shiro's premature "return" was less painful than it could've been.

If Lance is Joaquim's favorite character then who the hell is Lauren's? Pidge? Shiro? Coran? Or maybe she doesn't have a favorite?
>>
>>94868540
In a more interesting show, they'd reveal the real Shiro was kerberos Shiro, who has only just been freed by Matt from being used as an experiment by the Galrans. He'd meet the other Paladins and have no fucking clue who any of them besides Keith and Pidge are and would rather not get involved in this Voltron bullshit, preferring to stay with Matt and Romelle. After all the initial mindbreak from the Paladins realizing "their" Shiro has been fake all along, they accept Kuron and keep him as support in their group.

But since this is VLD, Kuron will most likely just die and have the real Shiro show up immediately after.

Kinda, but looking through my album of screencaps they're only there some of the time, whereas Kuron's also tend to be deeper, longer, and often appear in multiples, as well as more consistently present, which could be due to him having fewer scenes but otherwise makes me think it's an intentional choice.

It could be either a director's call which is probably the case for shots with Punished Kuron, or part of the style of the individual animator responsible for scenes with JUST Kuron, but since it's extending to multiple scenes across different episodes including Season 4, it could either mean the same animator is working on all those scenes or it's indeed a directing decision.

Anyone else notice how fucking uptight they are when it comes to clips of Voltron on youtube? You can't find anything but the ones Netflix uploaded in June last year, and they're all so short and are of the most boring scenes that they barely even count. Seems like a terrible way to promote a show if you can't even find any clips to give you an idea on what it's like.

How do the Keithfags feel about this?
>>
>>94871791
Bit of a hysterical reaction there anon, getting your original plans stepped all over and having to compromise is 90% of all professional creative work.
>>
>>94871791
I'm fine. I'm sure they'll do more later.
>>
>>94871931
I don't think it's hysterical to observe that Keith's development, especially in regards to his role as a leader, will be compromised by the presence of the previous and much more competent leader. Hyperbolic phrasing maybe, but that's pretty standard for posting and the point still stands, doesn't it? I'm sure they'll focus instead on the conflict of having two leaders clashing but if it's not what the writers wanted to begin with and still wish they could have gone with their original idea then doesn't that mean it's not the ideal direction they wanted his character to go in? It's also a shame because I think Shiro and Keith's characters would improve tremendously if they were separated, Keith because Shiro's presence undermines him finding his way in his new role, which was supposed to be thrust on him due to circumstance, and Shiro because he's largely been treated as a satellite character for Keith so far and could have had a great solo character arc not involving the team.

Despite all this and being pretty disappointed we missed out on the new team getting to grow into their own, I still think S3 has been the strongest so far, I just worry how much this missed opportunity is going to weaken the narrative in the future since the characters are already so underdeveloped.
>>
>>94872317
The post was made in response to an article where the writers talk about their original ideas getting shot down and having to re-work them, nothing about that implies the arc had to be deliberately downgraded, just changed.
You're trying to compare a thing that didn't happen, to something that hasn't happened yet. It's useless.
>>

>but if it's not what the writers wanted to begin with and still wish they could have gone with their original idea then doesn't that mean it's not the ideal direction they wanted his character to go in?
what does this even matter, unless you somehow think a writers' first idea for something is somehow inherently the best, in which case kek. the opposite is often true, as revision forces you to think harder about what's really important to get through to the audience and how you're going to do that in a different way
>>
>>94872317
>Shiro being a satelite character for Keith
>Implying it hasn't been the other way around so far.

I'm not a Keithfag so I don't really care. Regardless of how they develop it the method they forced Keith to become the leader is a real tell instead of show, since it's literally because the Black Lion said so. At that point Allura was keeping it together much better and actually trying to be a leader, saying Keith is supposed to be the natural one wasn't very convincing.
>>
>>94872416
It sounds like a downgrade to me since they basically said "we don't have a choice but to work with what we're given", not "we came up with something even better". That doesn't mean their current ideas aren't good, just that it's plan B and I definitely feel like the new team had very little time to establish themselves and grow before Shiro came back which would have benefited everyone imo. What's the point of trying to shut down discussion on this anyway?
>>94872501
Usually I would agree, but in this case it wasn't the writers scrapping an idea because they thought of something better, it was the higher ups axing their plans and forcing them to work within a more narrow frame.
>>
>>94872623
>What's the point of trying to shut down discussion on this anyway?
Because it's not that serious.
>>
>>94872623
There's not much to base discussion on. Their initial idea might have changed, but we don't any details of what exactly was supposed to happen, nor do we know what's going to happen in the following episodes. There's nothing to compare.
>>
>>94872606
>At that point Allura was keeping it together much better and actually trying to be a leader
Wasn't Allura also basically raised to be a leader too, since she's a princess and all? Unless Keith also turns out to be Sincline
>>
>>94872781
Yeah, it'd be natural for her to be the leader since that's basically what she already is. I know they by tradition has to develop Keith into the leader of Voltron but it felt really shoehorned. Shiro and Black Lion outright picking Keith as the next leader without backing up that claim is bullshit.

Like I said in the previous post, people are comparing an idea that never became reality to something that hasn't even played out in the show yet. No one can stop anyone from talking about hypotheticals but right now it's literally a bunch of fucking nothing.
>>
>>94872606
I think this is an unfortunate byproduct of switching up Keith's character from his DotU counterpart. In DotU he was a natural leader and his role made sense, but because Shiro was going to start out as the leader in VLD, they transferred most of that to him and tried to make Keith more distinct and less leader-like since his character base had been stripped away for someone else. It's too bad they didn't set up his leadership arc better because when Shiro told him he wanted him to lead Voltron it really felt like whatever potential he was talking about wasn't properly shown in the narrative and that it must have been something he saw in their relationship before the show started which isn't great writing.
>>
>>94872623
>but in this case it wasn't the writers scrapping an idea because they thought of something better, it was the higher ups axing their plans and forcing them to work within a more narrow frame.
but this is literally what I'm talking about anon, constraints are challenging, and often complete creative freedom leads to creators disappearing up their own asses. "oh I just thought of something better!!" doesn't often result in the type of editing and paring down that writers need to sharpen their shit up.

>>94872781
This actually works against her. Voltron's entire gimmick is teamwork, Allura has a commanding aura because she's royalty and used to being followed because of her authority, but that's a completely different type of leadership. You could make the argument that she could be cultivated into the "right" type of leader, but if you're going to do that there's no excuse to not just cultivate Keith instead since the entire show has been leading up to it instead.
>>
>>94873103
While I do think some creatives benefit from working under reasonable limitations, I don't think the restriction of blocking off some ideas because it might get in the way of toy sales is going to result in a better story. It's the difference between an editor reigning in bad ideas while giving helpful criticism, and executive meddling which is widely regarded as a negative thing and for good reason.
>>
>>94873196
Yeah, not saying she is a great leader, but she actually shown leadership abilities. Keith is probably going to become a good leader because development dictates that he is, but at the point when Shiro and the Black Lion picks him as the next leader pilot he has shown jack shit of that potential. If Keith can be a good leader, show us before he's already gotten the position.
>>
>>94873256
Not that guy, and while I agree with you it means nothing for this situation since we don't know how good the initial idea was anyway. Not gonna judge the potential could-been with the upcoming is-happening until the arc actually plays out.
>>
>>94873256
yeah I'm speaking more in general terms but I can feel that distinction, however in this case if it is what resulted in the clone plot then I'd say they made the right choice, because it was one of the more exciting developments of S3.
Keith is the mainish protagonist and if they can't bang out a coherent arc for him in 78 episodes then their original plan wasn't going to be enough to save the character either way.
>>
>>94873257
This is what they mean on Voltron being an 'ensemble' show. For some reason they didn't want to focus on Keith at all in S1. I will say that Lance stole his thunder and tricked people watching into thinking he was the main character of the show
>The first paladin showed after Shiro
>He woke up the blue lion
>Caught the princess
>Overall a fun character
Then S2 happened and we're hit with Keith being pushed into being the black paladin because Shiro said so, followed by S3 where he's finally the main character. There was definitely wonky writing in the beginning. Keith got overshadowed by Lance, Shiro, and Allura.
>>
>>94873448

Probably a lot, it's literally impossible for them to write "seasonal focus" on things like people seem to expect because like you said, the number of episodes they're calling a season is completely fucking arbitrary and subject to change on the whim of the suits. Wasn't it rumored that originally S1 and S2 were going to be released as one? People are just going to keep getting frustrated if they don't get over this type of thinking.
>>
>>94873335
>however in this case if it is what resulted in the clone plot then I'd say they made the right choice, because it was one of the more exciting developments of S3
I guess that's why we disagree then because I'm dreading the clone plot and the fact that they're hinting so heavily towards it is part of what's already making me wary of whatever they've come up with in place of what they originally wanted. If it turns out great, then I'll happily eat crow but it feels like it will either turn into an existential crisis character arc, which is done to death in clone stories, or it will be used as a cheap shock twist that the audience already figured out beforehand. I do not have enough faith in the writers yet to pull this off satisfyingly, maybe they can change my mind with the upcoming Pidge and Hunk development. I think the best outcome for me would be that Kuron is not a clone but he's also not the original Shiro or anything we've predicted so far and they're intentionally playing with our expectations while knowing we would think he's a clone.
>>
>>94873631
Keith got the looks.
>>
>>94872821
If they were without Shiro all this time, it makes sense that Black Lion is currently "settling" and viewing Keith as the next best thing or honoring Shiro's wishes in the meantime until he gets back.
Now that Shiro IS back, it throws a wrench in things /unless/ he turns out to be a clone and not the real thing and the Black Lion is still allowing Keith to pilot because it's "settling". Which could still be the case since it found Kuron when he was most like Shiro, indicating it views Shiro as its most important person, but after getting an up-close read of him still rejects him.
>>
>>94873674
Normally I'd at least be excited at least to see how the other characters react to the reveal, but knowing this show it'll probably happen offscreen.

the big knock against this idea is that the target audience has absolutely no idea he's a clone, it might even be their first time experiencing this type of plot in media. adults and other entertainment junkies being able to spot it from a mile away doesn't indicate much

Keith got some moments, like being the first to unlock his bayard power and getting the cool scratchy line animation that they've been using for big climaxes, and getting to show off his incredible piloting skills in episode 6, and a lot of butting heads with Lance but overall that season was kindest to Pidge, Hunk, and Shiro.
>>
>>94873686
Shiro did as well anon, except the problem with this was while Shiro did look good his character was often portrayed well in fanworks and he wasn't stuck with a whole lot of tumblr self inserts. Keith on the other hand, his character was so flat and empty that he became a self insert of the worst kind.

I don't dislike Keith, but I don't like him either. His following development and Galra background and given leadership hasn't endeared him to me either, they feel somewhat forced. His best moments are when he's being socially awkward due to the isolated loner gig, because it's that part makes sense.
>>
>>94873729
I'm not going to get upset if he turns out to be a clone, since that's what I'm expecting but it's hard to get excited about it, so I'm keeping my expectations low, and if the writers manage to pull themselves together on executing one of the most inadvisable tropes in fiction then it will be a very pleasant surprise.
>>
>>94873841
i think my biggest problem with the character is that a lot of his arc so far focuses on his solo issues, when he's most good (to me) when he's interacting with the rest of the team. that's why S3 was a big step up since he slowly became more integrated into the whole team rather than just muh Shiroing.
I do get the feeling that he'll pull away again before his big "real" leader acceptance moment, but if it involves the clone plotline it could be interesting
>>
>>94873771
>being the first to unlock his bayard power
His lion is the sword of Voltron, of course he would be the first to unlock it considering that sword is essential to Voltron
>show off his incredible piloting skills in episode 6
Jumping to rock and rock, incredible.
> butting heads with Lance
That's part of Lance's banter. Lance bounces off of every character well since he's fun. Not a lot of good Keith moments in S1. In S2 he had moments, while they negated the other characters since they had their moments in S1. I expect S5 to definitely sideline certain paladins cause these people do not know how to write an ensemble cast.
>>
>>94873993
Yeah, this. Him being pushed into the leader role, while poorly justified, at least forces him to have more of the interpersonal moments that make him more interesting.

I agree. His good moments are when he interacts with the others, either awkwardly or trying to be a better team player. Hell, even the moments where he spergs out with Lance are pretty fun because they're petty little shits, like the game of chicken in the second episode. His solo development sidelines most of the social interactions.

I'm mostly neutral on him too, I think he's in a bit of an unfortunate position because being in the "main" role means he gets more focus but it's also resulting in them pulling his character in a lot of directions rather than putting all their focus into one strong through line. In the meantime, other characters get neglected while it feels his character still hasn't progressed much even with that extra screentime (at least until S3), so he winds up bearing the brunt of resentment from people who find the other characters more interesting. I get where they're coming from but I don't think he would get nearly this much criticism if he was one of the less prominent characters or if the show was better at doing the ensemble thing.
>>94873993
This is a good point, I wonder if that's why I enjoyed him a lot more in S3 as well.
>>
>>94873771
Thing is the way he was written made that scratchy style feel really unearned and incoherent with his characterization up to that point, so it just stood out as awkward. Like they wanted to convey him being a certain way but he ended up being the opposite.

Contrast the Getter Robo effect they had at the end when Shiro unlocked the Black Bayard. That plot development had proper buildup so it felt earned and had genuine hype behind it.

I don't know with these writers, I think they would have dropped a bigger hint that he was unsatisfied when he left since they're usually not that subtle. People said he paused outside the door and I went back to look but it was nothing noticeable. I know his arc continues since it's supposedly the longest but I'm not sure whether they meant for that scene to postpone his issues until later so they could focus on other things or if it's genuinely playing into his insecurities and the writers are willing to be more subtle than I give them credit for. It wouldn't surprise me if they dropped something like a hot potato to pick it back up in a later season since that's what they did/are doing with Pidge.

Yep, right now they're beginning to respect each other since shit got real. They'll still pick on each other and troll but right now they're wondering where they stand on the team, or Keith is since 'Shiro' is back and he just can't see himself measuring up to him.

Lance is better thanks to their convo since he doesn't have to worry about being removed from the team, but Keith? Nope.

I kind of wonder if we'll even get more monster of the week episodes where the team gets to bounce off each other or if we're full plot now. I'll miss them if they're gone.
>>
>>94875056
I kinda hope not because I feel like they didn't really use the opportunities to flesh out the interpersonal relationships like they could have, whereas the episodes that did those best actually tended to be the more plot-important ones, aside from Space Mall.
>>
>>94874957
I remember shitposting a million years ago about Sam become a full-on empire loving galraboo, but what if Lotor really did reach out to him in an attempt to understand more about the paladins? Even if it was purely for mindgames, Pidge's dad thinking the galra have some good ideas would get half the team shook.
>>
>>94874929
Lance's arc is feeling useless on the team, right? In S5 or S6 how do you think they'll resolve it? He'll save the team by sniping an enemy which will make everyone congratulate him? I'm curious on how his arc will end since it ties with him feeling like he's the weakest link on the team.
>>
>>94875117
>muh interpersonal
Stop. They said in an interview they're not focusing on that much since they don't want to bore the kids watching Voltron. Or make them feel weird because the characters are being all emotional and crying.
>>
>>94875136
Lance's problem isn't really about other people acknowledging him, but how he feels about himself. Dude seeks outside validation because he has no genuine confidence, but getting it still doesn't do anything for him.

Purely gay ass speculation on my part but I think it's going to be resolved with him being separated from the team somehow and having to face those issues on his own without any outside forces to prop him up, basically the opposite of Keith who is having to learn to open up and rely on others more rather than trying to shoulder everything himself.
>>
>>94875200
They don't need to be emotional or cry, but they need to feel like a proper team instead of people who just kinda work together under the same banner, which the writers even said they've been trying to focus on with Shiro's absence.

So, i've been watching this. I never bothered to read about it beforehand, did see a few /co/ threads posted but never entered them.

Is it natural for me to be more interested in the Galra Empire and be rooting for Lotor to be victorious?
Also, Allura and all the times the name Voltron comes up in the first episode really was grating to me.
>>
>>94875669
But Keith and Lance relationship is abusive.
>>
>>94875669
I like his Keith-Allura relationship but the Keith-Lance scenes are a fucking slog to get through, despite the advances they had in season 3 it's probably the interactions I look forward to the least. His scenes with Hunk are a mix of excellent and wasted potential though. However I really want to see him interact with Pidge and Coran, especially since I think he has some common ground to find with Pidge and Coran's wacky personality would be good to bounce off of.
>>
>>94875710
Season 1 Galra were pretty cool, especially Sendak. Season 2 they were terrible filler villains for the most part and even Zarkon seemed to take a nosedive. Season 3 they finally made them interesting as a faction again, but at the same time the Galra of the Week syndrome was probably at its worst.
I have no real opinion of Lotor because he's fucking boring so far, maybe they'll flesh him out in Season 4 so he has a reason to exist beyond "muhahaha I'm better than everyone else".

Since it's supposed to be the longest, I don't think it will be resolved until towards the end, although it might evolve into something else along the way. But it's really going to depend on how the story progresses and what changes happen in the process, probably. We still don't know where the parallel with Keith being half Galra and Lotor + his generals being half Galra is going, people have speculated that it will mean Lotor recruits Keith which should have a huge impact on the team and probably affect their arcs to some extent, at least Lance, Allura, and Shiro's. Without knowing where the story is going, the most predictable guess I can make is that he'll prove himself and save everyone by doing something useful in a climactic moment. At the risk of sounding like one of *those* Lancefags, I do think there's a slim possibility he has a one-time stint in the Black Lion near the end, similar to Keith using it to save Shiro in S2E1, to prove he's grown into someone worthy of being a leader but it's not exactly the direction I want his character to go in so I hope it doesn't happen. Personally, I would really like it if the show explored the notion that you don't have to be the best or the strongest or the leader to be valuable and to teach him that there's just as much value in supporting others from afar as there is getting shit done yourself. But I won't hold my breath for a moment like that, as others have said, it's not really a show about emotional gratification.
>>94875241
I'd probably be okay with this too, I just would like them to address the root of his issues which are that he's a normal guy who wants to be extraordinary and special but that's not who he is or who he needs to be. I can't think of how they'd make that fit into a kid's action show though so whatever, I just hope whatever they wind up doing is entertaining.

>>94875845
First season the way he acted around Keith made me genuinely hate Lance, more than Keith who was irritatingly bland but mostly inoffensive. Season 2 mostly salvaged Lance because they thankfully kept him as fucking far away from Keith for the most part although he did still have a bunch of seasons of acting like a huge twat. I'm so glad he got a lot nicer towards Keith in season 3, but it currently feels unearned, and he still hasn't apologized for the really shitty way he's acted towards Keith in the last two seasons.
Note I don't even like Keith and he's too boring for me to get truly invested in. I just think Lance was acting way out of line in taking out his personal issues on some random guy who wasn't even really doing him any wrong. In the comics Keith is genuinely acting like an asshole to Lance back though, very much like Wufei, but I don't know how canon those are.

My worry is that she'll be this show's Pumyra. Probably in charge of the rebels who rescued Matt and an extremist like how the original Polluxians were dicks allied to the Galra. But maybe Shiro will teach her to be less of an edgy cunt and that's how they fall in love.

Outside the cancerous gayshit fanbase, I think it's it's pretty fun. It's the closest Keith ever acts like an actual teenage boy, going from being retarded frat boys graduating to proper bros. I don't mind Keith's relationship with Shiro, but it's just really weird since we know nothing about them pre-Voltron except that they're apparently close.
>>
>>94875937
Lance is clearly being a jealous asshole towards Keith. Part of his development is him getting over it in S3.
>>
>>94872317
>and Shiro because he's largely been treated as a satellite character for Keith so far and could have had a great solo character arc not involving the team.

...have you actually watched this show?
>>
>>94876260
True but it would be better if he acknowledged how his self-confidence issues were having a tangible negative effect on the people around him.
I'm glad that he's been a lot nicer towards Allura for example, but it would feel even better if he showed some tangible recognition towards how he kind of acted like a creep around her, even if he doesn't have to apologize outright. So far in season 3 he's still girl crazy which is fine as long as he's not constantly hitting on them when they clearly aren't interested. But that's another area where I'd like him to show some visible growth in beyond just stopping doing that.

>>94876423
I genuinely don't understand this opinion, are you b8ing?
>>
>>94876423
Impossible for anyone in the main cast to be more boring than Keith really. Honestly I find the whole "kidnapped and tortured by the enemy and implanted with bizarre technology that could turn you against the team at any moment, we don't know what the fuck actually happened" storyline, while not necessarily the most original thing ever to be a lot more interesting than Keith's painfully archetypical subplot of "boy finds out he's the heir to a secret destiny and must learn to become a leader to his men". Luke Skywalker pulled that off way better thirty years ago.

>>94876512
I mean, technically he might be a different character but still he contextualizes Shiro in a more interesting way than a lot of the rest of the cast who are pretty ordinary teens at the end of the day.
>>
>>94876555
>Impossible for anyone in the main cast to be more boring than Keith really.

Even ignoring him, you've got Hunk, who is useless, and Lance, who's entire arc is about "much self esteem" and serving as a cheerleader, an archetype that has been done to death in far more interesting ways. Just look at Theon Greyjoy in the GOT book, that is a "muh crippling self esteem" character done right.
>>
>>94876286
Shiro has played the role of the love interest the hero constantly saves, complete with the part where the love interest dies/disappears/gets kidnapped to spur the hero's development. He's been there to support Keith and be his motivation but he has yet to do much growing himself, the best he has is the Mall episode and fighting Zarkon. His relationship with Pidge or anyone not-Keith has been pretty much dropped. For a character that gets a lot of screentime, he sure feels like he's treated more like a plot device than a person. If I were a Shirofag, I would hope he got better treatment in the story because what he has so far is not very satisfying.
>>
> "Shiro is most boring character"
Keithfags, Lancefags and Pidgefags everytime.
>>
>>94876423
That's why he needs his own arc, to make him a better and more fleshed out character.
>>
>Romelle de-confirmed
>Category 3 hurricane coming for Texas
Just fuck my shit up senpai.
>>
>>94876648
That's more a side effect of season 2 dropping the ball with almost everyone's plotline aside from Keith's. Season 1 had some emphasis on his PTSD and how he's actually a lot less mentally stable than he initially seems despite being held up as the responsible one. It's a character arc even if it's not directly moving the main "defeat Zarkon" plot forward. And even with Season 2's problems Shiro did get some solid screentime during his scenes bonding with the Black Lion and proving he's a better man than Zarkon because he believes in the value of trust and bonds over brute strength. As for season 3, well, it may not even be him, and the season cut off just as he got back, but whatever they have in store for him clearly isn't the end and the possibility of clones isn't going to do much for his already tenuous mental health.
>>
>>94876648
>Shiro has played the role of the love interest the hero constantly saves

This would be true if we never got an insight into what has been happening to him, if we never saw anything from his point of view, of his character/personality wasn't effected by this ordeal, if he was just genuinely treated like a satellite love interest, and if there weren't greater implications/scope behind what is exactly being done to him. Also, he has a heavy connection towards the main villains of the show that has absolutely nothing to do with the Paladins and the mystery of what's happening to him has been ongoing since the pilot. You're trying way too hard to be reductive here.

As a Shirofag I do really like the tough stoic masculine hero being the Princess Peach and always being captured/put in vulnerable situations, but I really want some focus on Shiro's trauma and past. He doesn't seem like he has much of a place outside of Voltron and Keithfagging, never ever mentions any family he does or doesn't have on Earth etc and I want him to integrate into the team properly rather than try to keep them all at arms' length.

I think co-leadership or just being Keith's "right hand advice man", or even end up as the castle pilot will be a good role.

>>94876527
He's been dysfunctional with everyone else up until S3. He can be mature and nice, but it's pretty much only with Shiro. On his own he takes rash and reckless decisions, and he's much more callous than the rest of the teenagers, suggesting they don't go into obvious traps and ditch Allura, has no qualms taking hostages etc.
>>
>>94876756
Underwhelmingness of Season 2 in general, also season 3 understandably threw the team for a loop. I don't think it's anything wrong with their handling of Shiro specifically.
>>
>>94876795
No one is actually saying this.

Just admit you're b8ing.

>>94876810
I think with Allura it's a sign of his character development, how he was originally ruthless enough to ditch her (although he was following her requests in the end) to being the one to comfort her during her emotional crises in season 2. For my issues with season 2 dropping the ball on developing the characters I think the Keith and Allura scenes were some of the strongest moments and it really did help improve my opinion of Keith.
>>
>>94876810
To be honest, so long as Lance isn't there, Keith is really mature and pretty polite and rational.
He really encouraged Hunk in the Belly of the Weblum, he's always nice to Pidge, he's respectful and good to Allura and waifus Shiro a bit.

Then Lance picks on him and he seems like he's really resisting the urge to sneak into his room at night and cut out his liver.
>>
>>94876648
...you realize his story isn't even over, right? The fact that he even has this much plot relevance is more than can be said for Lance and Hunk, and soon to be Pidge once the Matt plot gets resolved next season.

If you find him boring that's fine, we had another thread where people who didn't like Shiro explained why with reasons that made perfect sense even if I don't necessarily agree. But the ones being given here don't or sound like they're deliberately ignoring parts of the show to justify themselves. Like whether you actually enjoy it or not they clearly have a lot of future material for Shiro in mind. Being a disposable satellite character is the last thing I'd call Shiro.

Whether or not you enjoy the path they're taking with Shiro (I personally do, but I can see why some people find it trite and overdone) it's absolutely more substantial than Space Dad, which is largely a mask he's wearing to give off the impression of stability he doesn't really have. And when he's willing to just be himself in front of Keith it's as an equal and not a Space Dad.
If you actually believe he really is an unironic Space Dad and that's all there really is to him, well, sorry but that's just incorrect.
>>
>>94876752
The problem is that thus far, the moments where he's a prop for Keith outweigh the moments where he gets to be his own character. Ideally, it would be the reverse. And getting fridged for Keith's development really highlights that.
>>94876761
Yeah, I'm not trying to shit on Shiro or anything, but I think the writers are letting his potential slip through their fingers and doing him a bit of a disservice much like Hunk. I'm surprised Shirofags are happy with it when it feels like the writers are valuing plot significance and screentime over development which is the shallowest way to involve a character without properly fleshing them out.
>>94876892
The conversation is in regards to the story so far, we don't know enough about what character growth if any they have planned for Shiro until they reveal more. Even the clone stuff could be different from what people think or it might be a general intrigue plot that doesn't explore Shiro's character very well at all.

>>
>>94877245
Well the way I see it that's actually kind of the point of his arc. He's too self-sacrificial and more concerned about his team and the greater good that he's willing to put his own physical and mental health at risk in the process. And it's up to Keith, who does care about him a lot (not talking about Sheith shipping, I mean in general) to get him to realize his own wellbeing matters, going by their conversations in S2E1 and S3E6.

I wonder how he and Keith met. It's really weird how close they are what with Keith going all YOU ARE LIKE A BROTHER TO ME considering his personality.

>>
>>94877359
Lauren did say that the flashback to Keith's dad in S2 wasn't supposed to be literal, and Kuron's memories of Keith only going back to the show's first episode could be a side effect of him only having memories up to the point Shiro was captured by the Galra, so they have some plot excuses, but it's something I hope they cover sooner than later. It doesn't have to be much, a lot of it can be inferred (Shiro takes pity on the troubled kid and is the first form of guidance he's had since his dad died) but some proper context would be nice.

Honestly, I think having him in a coma that mirrors Zarkon's would have worked much better, and allowed for some weird Shiro mindscape/astral plane shit, keeping him in the show to please the showrunners but forcing everybody to have to get on without him for the time being.

Keith cums on his tits every morning

>>94877359
Saving for some later exposition maybe? There's a leaked image of Shiro minus more arm and what looks like Garrison tech. I figured they might have been in the same foster home or something.

Because they're obviously planning to reveal it down the line due to how significant it is. You don't just put forth a mystery and then blow your load one episode later, you gotta have a hook.

But it's barely a hook, I could barely remember that they never touched upon how they know each other because their current relationship is the focus. Yeah sure they probably are going to reveal it later as something important, I'm just saying the buildup isn't really there.

I'd hate to think what you consider "on topic" conversation.
>>
>>94877420
True but the way this show defers its plotlines leaves a lot to be desired since it comes in bursts, rather than them leaving trickles until the actual plot events happen.
For example a little more buildup, some hints dropped about Alfor having hotblooded traits here and there, not having focused as much on the bonds the pilots already had with their initial lions so hard, little things like that over the course of season 2 would've probably made the lion switch feel more organic.

Shiro and Keith having a few mentions to previous times they spent together before the events of Voltron, Keith having some idle comments about things his dad did in his childhood, those would flesh out the relationships without necessarily spoiling anything while still giving a lot of fodder for speculation. It was said Keith was an orphan but we knew literally zero of his family life until that episode of the BoM, even though the fact that he even had a father as a child is not something worthy of being a huge reveal. Likewise we know he and Shiro usd to hang out at some point, even a little throwaway line to the time Shiro bought him a soda after a football game would be nice character dialogue without blowing their load.

We had an amazing thread a while ago that discussed differing opinions on Shiro. I can see now that it was rather nice because instigating fuckos like you weren't there to ruin it.

It could be said that this is a problem the show has in generally every aspect.

>>94877469
Yeah I can agree with you about that, I think it's an issue with the show's writing in general though that's one of the more prominent examples due to how important it is to framing two of the most plot important characters. It's definitely not the only instance of it though, the show has a big issue with not building things up properly as part of its general pacing problems.

I was part of the conversation. The shirofags in this thread are much more reactionary in that one, and then you have this guy >>94877347 that always comes into the thread to stir shit up. You're kidding yourself if you think this was anywhere near as civil.

What other episodes did Steve Ahn direct? I wonder if maybe he's just really good at doing this kind of thing and him quitting meant the show lost one of its strongest staff, or if the screenwriting for that episode was just particularly well done. If it's true that this Shiro is a clone, I think episode 6 while a little less interesting also did a decent job of buildup towards the idea that something is wrong with this Shiro without overdoing the tell don't show problem of the first two seasons. So there might be some improvement there.

Speaking of Matt and pacing, they've given decent buildup to maintain Pidge's search for him, so decent job there. But we haven't really gotten much in the way of characterization for him aside from that he's perceived as somewhat weak based on Shiro's flashback. But I guess that works in being enough to make his new transformation into total badass seem significant.
>>
>>94877647
>Remember guys, do not respond to angry anon and his smug anime girls

Can you disprove his point though? For such supposedly boring characters, it sure is easy to have frequent heated debates about Keith and Shiro with multiple interpretations from all sides.
>>
>>94877850
>they've given decent buildup to maintain Pidge's search for him, so decent job there

Not really, Pidge has felt nonexistent since season 2 and after this next season, she's going to fall right off the map.
>>
>>94877890
I mean in the sense that they haven't completely ignored it for a season only to come back like Hunk's character growth or science geekery, or Allura's shapeshifting powers. Even if Pidge's own characterization took a backseat, at least they've been willing to remind the audience from time to time that it's a thing going on with her and the character.

That's not what I meant with my post but okay. I'm well aware there are reasonable and civil Shirofags, I feel bad they have to get lumped in with the assholes and will always bear the S1 stigma, but that's a pretty irrelevant sentiment to include and misses the point I was trying to make.

Whether or not they deliver remains to be seen, but his buildup has been done right. He's been seen or mentioned regularly since the first episode, not shown in detail but enough to let the viewers know that he's supposedly a meek, gentle nerd. Enough to throw people off the loop when he seems to have gone full alpha.
>>
>>94877930
>Allura's shapeshifting powers

>>94877943
I guess probably the only thing that's off about him now is that he looks pretty different from his appearance as a prisoner or in the news flashback which painted him as a childish looking guy, who suddenly seemed to have gone through a second puberty in the span of one year. We'd probably have to get a closer look at him before I can make a call on that though.

Might not have been, but I was technically one of the more "reactionary Shirofags" ITT according to you. Except I'm not even a Shirofag. Yet you're basically lumping me into being one because you're buying into the othering that frequently plague these threads.
>>
>>94877866
They are the most popular boys in the thread, therefore they will be discussed the most, therefore people will get tired of discussing them and want to bring balance to the discussion with either criticism or just straight up shitting on them. We also touched on Keith earlier in the thread and came to the conclusion that because he takes up such a prominent role, the people who find him boring will resent him more than if he was boring but not as prominent, because he wastes his opportunities to be better. You can probably apply that to any character with lots of screentime.

Probably not, she's Lauren's favorite after all.

You know nothing, Jon Snow. He's by far the most popular boy here.

Sorry, you're right that I shouldn't lump everyone into a characterfag though I'm incredulous that a lot of the people flipping out at critique of Shiro's writing didn't have him as a favorite, but if you can't hold a civil conversation then I really don't think you have any room to complain about being treated unfairly.

I don't disagree, it's a hard habit to kick though when the threads do it so often that you stop noticing it. There's also pressure to gain leverage in an argument and using meta is the easy way out.

The problem is that it wasn't going enough. It hanged in a background irrelevantly. She never had to struggle over it.

>though I'm incredulous that a lot of the people flipping out at critique of Shiro's writing didn't have him as a favorite

I'm not an Allurafag, but I'd be just as incredulous if someone stated she has no plot relevance and is boring as well. Purely from a sensible POV, stating Keith/Allura/Shiro are the most boring in a show that contains Hunk or Lance is just absurd to me.
>>
>>94878246
Even then, Keith and Shiro are still far more popular as cumdump fantasies here than Lance.
>>
>>94878248
As the "smart" character and the token youngest member they'll probably also give her some stuff about growing up or she'll be one of the main avenues through which the plot moves forward since she's in the best position to understand Quintessence the best out of anyone aside from Allura or Keith.

Anon isn't saying that, they're saying it's unfair to just assume anyone arguing in favour of a character is automatically a characterfag and therefore used as representation against them. You need to stop doing this, this paranoia is one of the worst things about these threads and only leads to more shit flinging.

Nah Coran's the regular exposition dump on space lore. I hope becomes better utilized soon, I like him. It's not even that he should get an episode or become important or whatever, he just feels so detached from the Altean stuff compared to Allura. I don't remember if he's even spoken to AI Alfor, but he never interacted with the parallel universe Alteans or had any presence in the flashback he was narrating.
>>
>>94878331
The people saying he's just a satellite love interest seem to be purposely reducing his character and missing a lot of comprehension.
>>
>>94878281
That makes sense since Shiro gets a lot of gay male fans and Keith is a shipping nexus.
>>
>>94878343
>but he never interacted with the parallel universe Alteans or had any presence in the flashback he was narrating.
He's shown a couple times but obviously wasn't really involved since he's the help
>>
>>94878358
Also, saying he doesn't have an arc, when he clearly does. It just makes me wonder if anons turn their brain off whenever Shiro is on screen. It's no different than saying Pidge or Keith have no arc, if someone claimed something like that, my mind would boggle.
>>
>>94878262
If characters exist solely to move plot forward they might not be very interesting themselves. Not saying that's necessarily the case here, but neither Shiro/Allura/Keith are my favorites even if they're the driving force behind the plot.

Maybe my original post came across as more of a blanket statement than I intended, in which case I apologize. There were several reasonable exchanges in between the more reactionary ones which I didn't feel the need to mention because I thought they were apparent to people who read the debate. But the snappy ones stand out a lot more and are what I was referring to, especially since we'd had a similar debate before without them.

Not him, but he's a good bro and likable when they don't reduce his character to food and fart jokes and I like his interactions with the other characters. I don't get why being involved in the plot affects how much you like a character at all, if a character whose only lines were ever "yes" or "no" was heavily involved in the plot would that make them interesting or likable? You need characterization more than you need relevance.

I try to curtail posting about my favorite when I can because anytime a character gets posted too much it turns into a bunch of meta about how xfags are obnoxious or getting uppity or tumblr is invading, and eats up the thread along with any interesting discussion that was going on.
