Mission Complete.

Referring to this I suppose

Like yeah, we’ve seen Haggar shape shift before, and it seemed like a set up for something, I mean they showed us she can do that because it will probably play a role in the future.

And like, they kinda hurt her son, maybe even killed him, what if she just wants revenge?

But yeah, saving Lotor I think would be her top priority. 

His scene with Shiro is too negative and too short for the viewer to care about him, it's hard to recognize it is he who dies since he's got a helmet on and it's probably hard to remember what he looked like...

We only recognized him and got attached to him cuz we had a MONTH to discuss that one scene haha, but your regular viewer would be like "oh it was that.. guy, oh well *shrug*" so that goes for showing how harsh and sad the reality of war is.. by killing someone no one would really care about?

So ye.. their explanation for Adam’s death doesn't makes sense. If you want ppl to care and hurt about a death, you gotta first make em get attached to that character in some way, (in show, not like telling ppl they were gonna get married at panels haha) which they didn't do. 

Meaning Adam's death probably played a different role. It was there for Shiro's character growth to make him realize things about relationships. About how sometimes it can be too late, and about appreciating ppl who want to protect you and allowing them to do so.

This also connects for me to the talk Shiro has with Keith in the desert. 

I feel like "successfully jumping off the cliff" is kinda a metaphor for a good relationship.. 

Like look

“It’s all about timing, you pull up to soon and you won’t have the momentum in it to create lift" 

Adam and Shiro's relationship didn't work because they jumped into it before Shiro was ready for that kind of commitment.

"too late, and there won’t be enough lift to avoid the crash"

Adam's death was Shiro's "too late", kinda like sometimes if you wait too long you might miss your chance at it.

AND THEN we have Keith asking 

"You think I’m ready to try that?" 

and Shiro asks him "what do you think?" 

and Keith replies 

“That I should be patient and keep focusing on the basics first” 

‘basics’ being friendship and building a strong solid bond before jumping into romance.

And like it all fits so well in the end when you think about it like that.

Not to mention Keith literally has to cross a cliff to get to Shiro in the episode that talk was originally was supposed to be in.

Black/Red - Griffin 

Yellow - Leifsdottir 

Green - Rizavi 

Blue - Kinkade 

Red (???) Veronica? 

It's hard to say if Griffin get's Red or Black because Veronica is kinda part of Atlas team.. Also her shot is different.

Shiro was either abandoned by his parents because of his disease, or he’s one of the failed project kuron clones that somehow ended up on earth, cuz we know nothing of his family and cuz Shiro has this thing that he needs to be needed and he doesn't want to be useless. 

Because of his disease he kinda wanted to prove everyone he’s worth something and that he’s strong and can achieve things everyone probably told him he can never do.

And that is also why he could understand Keith back then when he met him, because he knew that Keith was pushing ppl away by doin all those bad things because he was afraid of rejection, so he pushed ppl away before they had a chance to reject him.

Shiro was doing things out of the same reason, not wanting to ever feel abandoned. But he was not doing that by making trouble like Keith but was always trying to be as needed as he can be. You know this strong leader that takes care of everyone and stuff. He kinda pushes Adam away because he felt like he was being abandoned there too in a way probably. 

So both of Keith and Shiro’s biggest fear was abandonment.

So looking back you really see how Keith and Shiro saved eachother and how much their support of eachother and the ‘I will never give up on you’ meant to both of them. 

First of all:

Romance not gonna happen, for the only reason that this show has done nothing but break molds and do things we haven't already seen 10000 times in other shows.

There’s no way in hell that a talented writing team like theirs is gonna go the cliche way of “boy and girl look at eachother 3 times and fall in love”, no way.

This kind of plot is a disservice to both Acxa and Keith’s characters.

What I think is gonna happen is that Acxa has been following Keith for the same reason she’s been following Lotor, because she is looking for a good leader to lead the Galra. 

But what Acxa needs to realize is that maybe she doesn’t need to follow someone who is a good leader, but to actually have faith in herself and become a good leader herself. 

So I guess Acxa will be the new Galra empress, and that would be super cool.

This show has had nothing but complex powerful women, and Acxa is not gonna be any different.

Keith is gonna stay with Shiro and his new team of paladins when the others retire, because he has just gotten into the leadership role, he didn’t struggle so much to get to that place just to go do something else now, I think.
