Very Clever Art

This is an expansion and continuation of many of the ideas expressed in my previous meta ‘Chasing the Ghosts of Season 8.’ You may wish to read that first if you haven’t already, though it is not necessary to understand this meta.

Herein is contained all the actual textual evidence  I’ve gathered of Voltron Legendary Defender, Season 8 having been edited post-production, as well as a handful of circumstantial conclusions I feel have strong enough textual evidence supporting them to stand up to scrutiny. This is as ship-neutral as I can make it, given a number of the most highly edited scenes are ones that in the edited version of s8 are played as distinctly romantic in nature.

I do think that the way things were headed - +Lotor was expected to come back because he had vital information about Quintessence, the colony, and alongside Allura they could rule respectively or together and heal the universe from the war. +There was more to Romelle’s character and others (many people fell flat this season) +In ships, via balancing personalities, #Lotura and #Plance would have both eventually played out (they did show #Allurance , I personally don’t think it would have lasted in-season) +We would have seen the benefits of very strong and deep filial love between Shiro/Keith, and Keith/Lance, and the completion of an arc for Lance, using said friendship. +It felt like the season should have ended on a TA-DA and was very much meant to be a triumphant, good over evil, life through sacrifice, joy out of suffering kind of show. It had all the signs of well rounded characters and a great story. There were things I liked and things I didn’t, but ultimately, it won my respect, I promoted the show to my friends and I was heartbroken when it nosedived at the last second. Some other posts on the “meddling” below. There is also a few people to look/follow on Twitter that help to follow the updates of confirmed information, #freevoltronseason8 is a good tag to search, as well as a change.org petition to release the original, unaltered season 8.
