Episode 49: Coran's Son Runs Amok

opening with a recp of last episode

so I guess green lion hasn't been ripped off of voltron? I hope that comes into play soon. Right now, everyone is essentially getting tased by the robeast as they try not to get shot by the pulsar canon

Keith once again with the good ideas, though I'm not sure how easy it'd be to convince people that you WERE blown to ash if the robeast is obviously being used as a shield this is lotor we're talking about though, so it's probably going to be a piece of cake

oh yeah super easy, lotor has no problem sacrificing his main super weapon if it means blowing up voltron

oh shit, the plan was smarter than I thought! I didn't realize they'd camouflage as debris from afar by disconnecting from voltron! Super good plan tf

lotor must feel so good about himself for "destroying" the giant robot and then cucking garrett right after by pretending he never agreed to allow clones to colonize arus under garretts supreme rule LMAOO

it's so weird seeing the team still as the limbs/body of voltron but not all connected together,,, they're straight up legos

but does coran HAVE to alert the garrison that voltron went down? like i know the boys are technically still their soldiers but ugh keep them bitches out of this

"hands up or ill stun you all!" just say they're gonna die for the love of god

HOW OUT OF THE LOOP IS NANNY?? SHE'S TALKING TO HIM AS IF THERE WASN'T CONFIRMATION FROM HIM DIRECTLY THAT HE WAS A CLONE FFS also she said "everyone has a father", how dated.

"they did it, they actually shot at me!" mf what did you THINK would happen?? that they'd sob just looking at you? Sometimes the strongest form of hate is the one you feel for the family that's wronged you, and your biggest mistake was being made to BE their family

Not lotor waiting for congrats from Zarkon only for him to call him an idiot for not seeing corans counter-attack with the small fleet arus has i will ALWAYS be on zarkons side when it comes to belittling lotor, he fucking deserves it

is it still a sneak attack if you know they're coming and because they set off the alarms?

"aim directly at their robot fighters!" i feel like they're just reminding viewers that just because they LOOK like people doesn't mean they ARE people, which is horseshit it'd be better if they acknowledged they were people cause their destruction is horrific

"What does [Lotor] have to think with? He's a numbskull!!" "Lotor will never learn, he's a born loser" GET HIS ASS ZARKON, IM YOURE NUMBER ONE FAN RIGHT NOW

why is haggar even on lotors side? zarkon was right about voltron not being done yet and lotor being a dumbass for believing it. guess he has two idiots by his side for company

omg what the hell is happening, new introduction on a old chief who uses the power of chi to influence the world when did we get spiritual instead of magical

Apparently coran's wife and kid were taken away into another dimension because of this guy calling on the people who lived there to rescue them and they're living happily there now oh this is a very wild way to pretend they didn't get murdered and their graves dug up to make clones of them

"thank goodness corans wife and son are safe in another dimension!" Said over the still of allura very obviously praying over the "fake" grave that's there for them

"Black lion, red lion, green lion, yellow lion! they all made it!" Obtuse, rubber goose, green moose, guava juice, Giant snake, birthday cake, large fries, chocolate shake!

HELLO?? Somebody glued on his eye incorrectly

Allura: then we've gotta stop them! Lance: All right, you heard the lady! YOUR HONOR,, THEM!! GET ME A MAN WHO'S SUPPORTIVE LIKE LANCE ALWAYS IS TO ALLURA NO MATTER WHAT

BIG BROTHER LANCE RETURNS, DEAR GOD I'VE MISSED HIM AND PIDGE'S RELATIONSHIP once again do NOT try to tell me this is romantic, pidge is no older than goddamn 12 here while lance is obviously in his early 20s at LEAST

LANCE LORE: he goes into how he used to life in mountain country and that his home was destroyed by zarkon, he wasn't a fighter and he lived in hut/tent type things where he'd count the stars to sleep GOD I KNOW THIS ALREADY BUT IT MAKES ME SO SAD ALL THE SAME, HE WAS SUCH A BABY AND WAS FORGED INTO A FIGHTER AGAINST HIS WILL SO NOW HE'S DOING SOMETHING WITH IT

Augh dear god im so glad lance and pidge had a little heart-to-heart even though it was just kind of filler conversation,,, pidge doesn't wanna fight and neither does lance,, such sweeties

sneak attack with the boys while allura waits for blue to get fixed, apparently the pulsar canon is solar-powered, this is great for the environment guys... not so great for the planet of arus though LOL

"I thought we got rid of them you incompetant half-wits!" lotor that was YOU who made that call

voltron time!! the canon survived normal lion attacks but it's not gonna go well with the blazing sword

"i'm gonna stand my ground! he wouldn't dare assault me!" lotor who's your dealer i need a good recommendation since you're obviously as high as a kite right now

not voltron beating up the canon with his fists to really destroy it 😭

oh yeah garrett is still here

its so sad to see coran jumped in front of allura before she got "stunned" by garrett and him having to shoot who he thought was his son, only one of them is his child and not even being the clone of his flesh and blood can replace allura as his surrogate daughter

horrifying, garrett legitimately regrets being a horrible person, but he's literally programmed to cause problems so even he get "imprisoned" unfulfilled and begging to actually be loved by them

so sweet, coran was going to resign because of his guilt but allura reminded him that he was a person and reasonably believed he still had a family, nobody else would've questioned it either I WILL be using this for future lore ideas hehehe, ive got an oc in mind that would be perfect to use this for

/episode end

Episode 50: Zarkon Becomes A Robeast

Recap of last episode seems like, didn't realize these last ones would be connected

"why would he have ME arrested? What have I done to be treated like a criminal" failed every single time the man gave you a task apparently

"[The Drule] do not tolerate failure!!" the biggest fucking lie i've heard in my life

Yknow this is probably why vld made haggar into Lotor's mother, she's always protecting him and lessening his punishments when she can Like instead of him being thrown in jail to rot, Haggar convinced Zarkon to publicly humiliate him instead and said he would gain the favor of the planets that "favor" lotor after he conqured them

zarkon is back to leading some fighters against voltron, i did kind of miss that now that it's almost the end of season 1 lol

MORE VEHICLE VOLTRON CLIPS, I SEE YOU DRULE EMPIRE COUNCIL AND GOD BLESS THEY'RE THINKING OF JUST BOOTING LOTOR AND HIS ENTIRE FAMILY OUT OF THE EMPIRE more lore for me to use and abuse, zarkon's kingdom really is the weakest link isn't it

arus time! god i hate the clapping SFX SDVION, it's one thing when the princess finished speaking but all keith said after was "voltron backs this plan!" like sir fucking of course you do it's arus's giant robot

did i just see planet doom from afar?? i can't even understand what they showed

i'm glad we get to see a solid sounding plan come from these guys, like i still think it's weird that shooting a giant laser from the last episode at doom will take down it's global defenses (which is literally just a sheet of electricity) but that's the in for them to actually get boots down onto doom and stop the drules

CASTLE SHIP CASTLE SHIP FINALLYYY

how big is the castle?? im sorry pidge what the fuck do you mean you can take the entire population of arus into the castle ship in case of the drules attacking while voltron is gone, HOW MANY ARUSIANS ARE DEAD

"where did they set up our laser canon" you mean the canon that your son installed ONTO THE FUCKING SURFACE OF ARUS THAT VOLTRON SUPPOSEDLY DESTROYED?? which btw just how easy was that thing to fix because voltron pummled it and i think sliced the actual cannon part off

"I'm gonna try firing it at them before they can destroy it!" actually the best plan anyone on the team has come up with and im so glad that it came from lance

Lance is hurt and keith immediately runs into danger OUT OF HIS LION to get to him, BITCH STAY IN THE FUCKING SHIP PLEASE THIS IS NO TIME

one: where's the rest of the fucking team two: FINALLY THE CASTLE IS DOING AN ASSIST EVEN WHEN THEY'RE NOT IN SHIP MODE

ope spoke to soon now they ARE doing ship stuff

as much as i bitch about coran, do NOT yell at him while he's thinking about activating the final fail-safe in the castle bandor it's not your goddamn planet

THE BLOCKY OUTSIDE OF THE CASTLE WAS JUST A SHELL THIS WHOLE TIME??

"isn't that a beauty" keith is a spaceship guy i see lol

stun em with your looks then stun em with your weapons

"im afraid i bring you very bad news from doom" "ugh when do we ever hear good news from that planet" GOTTEM

oh?? the drule empire support lotor instead of supporting zarkon? that's very interesting, apparently they think all the failures that lotor has are actually zarkons since he put his son on the jobs he himself picked out

"too many time's ive listen to [haggar's] false words! I say the galaxy alliance will never attack us!" the stupidest choice ive seen this entire watch through

PUNISHMENT TIME, ZARKON IS ABOUT TO BE A ROBEAST RAAA

god these forward facing shots of the team as they run to voltron are so so weird to me

mousetron returns!!

lotor is still saying voltron isn't going to arus, which i do realize he has to truth to his words, they've never attacked anything doom related iirc so them going straight to doom for the first offense is CRAZY

i love you cheesy pep talk keith, way to drum up moral before sending your team to (certain) doom

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT WAS THE ENTIRE EPISODE
