Voltron talkback #2. It has a reverse trap. It's also pretty good. Probably what ThunderCats 2011 should have been.
1. Pidge lewds when
2. How did you guys feel about the fight scenes?
I don't like the new Allura.
If there is some kind drawfag out there, it would fun to see a redraw some part of the bathing scene from Mulan with Pidge and the team.
>>83680618
>the fight scenes
Thank god the mooks are robots because those motheruckers are brutal.
>>83680618
>2. How did you guys feel about the fight scenes?
Not the absolute best of all time I've seen, but they seemed thought out and well choreographed for the most part, especially the ones on-ground.
Seeing the lions decimate the war ships in the last ep and ram them into each other was pretty cool.
>>83680696
>they showed the villains as sufficiently cruel in the Belmora arc
What, you mean "Dances With Wolves in Space II: Rock Magic Boogaloo"?
Weakest part of the entire goddamn show as far as I'm concerned.
>>83680753
>worst part of the show
Come on man. It was pretty good.
>>83680566
So Lance is going to have a threeway with them right?
>>83680777
>implying Lance doesn't end up fucking Keith
>>83680753
Respectfully disagree, Hunk got much-needed character development and the entire team went through some Voltron-related growing pains. Although not as strong as the corresponding episode, it was the arc's "Bitter Work" episodes. I felt like Cor became less "LOLWACKY" in these episodes as well, and it gave the series a mini-arc to complete.Hunk's gonna hit that Rockfu
>>83680618
I feel slightly ashamed that this is how we agree that a character is good. Only slightly because goddamn if Pidge isn't kawaii.
>>83680775
No, it wasn't.
>>83680753
I don't see the problem with it. It was pretty good.
>not available in your country's netflix
>no uploads anywhere
>>83680802
I liked Pidge as a character when he was a shit about leaving at first and learned that he had to stay. I hate when characters are perfect all the time. Being a qt girl is just a bonus.
>>83680777
I'm next to positive that it's gonna be Shiro tapping that brown space elf ass.
>>83680828
Only been barely a day or so anon, it'll happen.
>>83680828
Where doesn't it live?
I thought they had it in most places besides Japan.
>>83680618
pidge lewds when indeed
I'm feeling blue balled here.
So are you guys watching this an episode a day or something?
This is on Netflix right?
>>83680845
Probably. I'm partial to Shiro and Pidge myself, but the way these usually break down it's probably gonna be some form of
>Shiro and Allura because they're the leaders
>Maybe Keith and Allura cause he's Red and Shiro might die
>Pidge and Lance because "womanizer and other female character who he doesn't hit on all the time"
All the classics, essentially
>>83680566I honestly didn't mind ThunderCats 2011, but that aside
Got to watching the first episode and honestly didn't expect it to be so long. I like it but it felt EXTREMELY fast paced. Will probably watch the rest of the series or what's available on sunday or over the next week.
>>83680882
I really want Lance/Pidge to happen because I think it has a lot of comedic potential.
Just saw the first episode. I don't like the characters and that ruined a huge part of the show for me. For dedicating a large portion of their dialog to wacky comic relief, I did not laugh once at anything they ever did. Not even a generous smirk, and a lot can make me laugh. Does it get any better as I go along? Do the characters either get better or at least get more serious? I don't think I can stand another "I puked while flying" joke.
>>83680845
It was pretty hot how Allura was throwing him around when she in disguise.
>>83680894
Yeah, for some reason they do the first three episodes as one big episode but then just let all the multiparters be multiple episodes even though they also pick up immediately after the previous one ends.
>>83680882
As likely as that is, I feel like Pidge and Hunk is endgame.Personally Pidge+Shiro+Allura.
>>83680618
>2. How did you guys feel about the fight scenes?
I like em but so far it seems like the lions have been more useful than Voltron itself
>>83680917
Hunk's motion sickness seems to vanish after the 2nd episode or so, but I dunno if it's a good idea to sit through several hours of something you might not even like that much
So how exactly long is a tick?
>>83680930
They built the 3-episode rule into the show's format itself
>>83680939
I don't get carsick when Im the one driving and I get it bad.
>>83680917
IMO it gets better BUT the "whatcky comedic relief dialogue" never really goes away. If you just aren't feeling it than there's worse things.
>>83680917
Give the second episode a try, at the very least. A lot of the weaker comedy bits, the fart joke, the barfing, is completely dropped in exchange for much better character comedy in that episode.
Outside of that? The speech Shiro gives that makes them form Voltron the first time is pretty much the tone of the next 10 episodes. The comedy bits are very good, but the drama and more serious beats tend to be pretty close to my upper cheese limits. Shiro gets some increasingly more tense PTSD stuff as the show goes on, but overall it's still pretty much "power of bonds and friendship." I don't find that bad, but it is what it is.
>>83680950
>that scene where they all get enthralled by Ticks vs Seconds
Kek
>>83680917
I had the exact problems as you, but they fade over the course of the show. The puke jokes are gone after the first 3 episodes and Hunk develops into a more serious and competent character when he gets his own arc halfway through. Lance doesn't really change, though.
>>83680950
1.35 seconds
>>83680982
It was pretty great
>You ruined it Lance, we were winning!
>Winning what?
>the galactic time keeping competition!
>>83680930
They probably do it to get a lot of introductions and basic plot out of the way, because I don't think people would have enjoyed like maybe 3 episodes for Voltron to actually appear. I wouldn't have minded it since it would have felt more normally paced and maybe good build up.
>>83680991
seconds rule ticks drool
>>83680986
Lance and Keith get "a bonding moment" which marks the beginnings of their bromance. It's one of the legit funny running gags in the show.
The intro is so disappointing
Just get Jam Project on that shit
>>83680917
I really had a problem with Hunk, Lance, and especially Coran being "LOL laugh at the idiot" characters of different stripes. I understand having one goofy character in a show with a larger cast, but three is WAY to much.
Also, Alura's accent is just pointless and does nothing to give her any kind of personality.
So far Shiro and Pidge are really the only characters with interesting motivations.
Keith is pretty much non-existent.
Its getting better, and I hope that the writing tightens up it goes.
>>83680939
I don't consider the time commitment too big. I've always got something running on the TV while I work on sewing. I even want to enjoy the show. It's just holy crap all their schticks have gotten stales super fast.
>>83680911
>everyone but lance knew pidge was a girl
>catches him completely off guard
I love it
What ships do you actually think will sail next season? Not what ships you enjoy but which ones you think will actually happen.
I think they'll make something happen with Allura and either Lance or Shiro.
Also I wonder if they'll try to get progressive points and make one of the mains gay. I'd doubt it if I didn't know it was the people who did Korra but now I'm wondering.
>>83680986
>Lance doesn't really change, though.
He at least rags on Keith less.
Thinking about it, Lance didn't get much on-ground action (unless I'm having a brain fart), even though all the others had their moments. Pidge especially had that long sequence where she had to use the castle itself to fend of the goons.
>>83681031
>a upper class British does nothing to give her any personality
Come one brah, the accent is what cements her as legit space royalty.
It's also pretty cute.
>>83681031
Keith is pretty much non-existent.
What is honestly the fucking point of Keith?
>>83681018
so far 9 episodes and not a single DUH DUH DUH DUUUH DUH DUH DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH
>>83680994
>shiro going from the background to the foreground trying to get a better look
10/10
>>83681031
>Allura's accent
Allura and Coran both have Englishy-accents, it's a shortcut to mark them as nobility and I slightly agree.
>>83681052
Burning a vigil for Everybody Loves Shiro. Also it's not Bryke writing, Dos Santos is the executive producer. Apart from the animation studio there really isn't that big of an overlap between the two shows.
>>83680634
I like her a lot.
>>83681064
To be Lance's rival.
>>83681031
Hunk grows out of being the fat stooge after awhile (Even Episode 2 kinda runs that a bit too much into the ground). His arc dominates the middle bit of the current episodes. He still does comedy stuff, but it's much more of "only guy weirded out by what's going on." Especially once they remember he's the mechanics guy.
Coran never really stops being a wacky alien, but he's never really incompetent except for one or two gags about his physical ability, I think.
Lance, as mentioned, doesn't change much but we get more of him. He and Keith get the short of end of the character stick, but Lance has moments of genuine thought and competence amidst his showboating boisterous nature. He's basically Sokka.
>>83681035
>while I work on sewingpls be straight and be my bf.
>>83681064
>What is honestly the fucking point of Keith?
Step up as leader after Shiro dies or does a heel turn after his turn at a character arc or something. There's still the other half of the season to go
>Be a Kiwi
>Rhys Darby as Coran
>Fucking accent
Why are our people allowed to speak on television
>IT CAN'T SHOOT US ALL AT ONCE
>lasers everywhere
>OKAY IT CAN DO THAT TOO
Mild kek
>>83681085
Bryke probably wouldn't have let Pidge acknowledge "Man-up" as an un-personal figure of speech
>>83681111
You should be thanking Rhys. Hes the only good thing your nation of goat fuckers ever produced.
>>83681064
He's probably being set up to have some plot stuff in the future. Remember, he was feeling the mystical Lion juju before anyone else, enough to know when Shiro and the aliens would be arriving. It wasn't even his Lion. He also got a significant scene with the Quintessence (though it may just be to highlight that macguffin's properties than anything with him). He also got to go 1 vs 1 the final boss and though he got his ass handed to him by a guy on foot with a sword and gun, he unlocked some shonen power and the final boss complimented him.
Given the entire cast got split up in the cliff hanger, we'll probably see more individual development for everyone next batch. They could've really done more with him in the first 11 episodes, though. So far it's a lot of set up and only some follow through.
I've only watched the first three episodes but I'm impressed with the production values. They obviously aren't as lavish as Legend of Korra but the animation is pretty damn good and the soundtrack is phenomenal.
>>83680618
>2. How did you guys feel about the fight scenes?
Minor nitpick, I would've liked more full on Kaiju monsters. Then again, we only saw, what, two proper giant fights? Everything else was vs ships.
It's probably because of the CG, though. It fits pretty well, all things considered, but it probably works better with giant robots and cyborgs than Godzillas.
So Zarkon was a paladin right?
WHERE'S THE PORN
>>83681175
Yep. He's even got Black's melee weapon
>>83681175Yeah. The fact that he might not be the original Zarkon and is actually an Altaen with a changed appearance is something I actually didn't think would happen
>>83681171
yeah I gotta be honest. I love what they're doing with the heroes but the robeast have been lame. So far all we got was fatty mc derp pall and Laputa's retard cousin
>>83681211
????
Is this some joke I'm not getting?
>>83681199
>come in to this thread
>see this
>spoiler tags what are those lol
FUCK
Why am I in these threads?
When will I fucking learn that I can't look at threads for Netflix shows until I binge watch the whole fucking thing?
>>83681236
hey you know netflix likes to drop all the episodes at once. It's your own damn fault for entering a discussion thread.
>>83681227No, pay more attention the last episodes.
>>83681236
A major tweest about a character was spoiled months in advance in these threads. It's Voltron, spoilers are near unnecessary as the plot beats are somewhat predictable.
>>83680911

>>83681031
>So far Shiro and Pidge are really the only characters with interesting motivations.
Found the retard
Best episode?
5 had active villains, cute girl backstory, smart fight choreography focusing on brains over brawn, comic relief's development out of comic relief and even character death (albeit baddies and robos)
>>83681291
>cute girl
Pidge is the manliest, how dare you.
>>83681291
Also set up my personal favorite, episode 9. Downtime episodes are great, and this one managed to work in some character development for best boy.
Opinions on Zarkon? I liked him, but admittedly I think of him as "new" Zarkon as opposed to his own character. He looks like a super-powered Garrus in red armor.
>>83681258
Okay, right I get what you're getting at now.I had actually just figured they had non-Altaen pilots as well. Afterall, they have all human pilots this time. And Allura mentions the Galra used to be at peace with them enough for her to travel through their transit systems. I suppose it could be a shape shifted Altaen too, though Allura didn't show as much in her chameleon skills. He does openly say the Black Lion used to be his, though I guess there was no time for anyone to bring it up. Allura says the Black Paladin was "lost," so they may not know either. Sounds like the shit you'd bring up. "Our enemy used to be our best soldier" and what not.I'm more interested in the Galra who lowered the shields so they could escape.
>>83681291
>waifufags
>>83681327
Him going toe to toe with a giant robot lion on foot and utterly schooling it does wonder for villain cred.
>no torrents for europoors
When do we get more of her?
>>83681381
I'm glad they didn't skimp out on one shot background characters. I mean, they kind of did, a lot of episodes are just the main cast in their ships and robots in space fighting generic robots and ships. But I was half worried the Balmera arc would end with that one family being the only Balmerans we meet on the entire planet-animal-thing. Glad that didn't turn out to be true.
>>83681227Allura's father 10,000 years ago sent all the lions away instead of forming VoltronThe Black Paladin and his weapon supposedly were lost before that specific moment, but not for a long enough period of time that Altea could make a new Black Paladin weaponZarkon was a thing before Altea possessed Voltron (I think?)Zarkon when he faces off Keith is obviously using the Black Paladin's weapon, it wasn't lost, he simply kept it with him, and states the Black Lion will finally return to its true Paladin
I was surprised the first episode was pretty decent but then the second really slipped into dull mediocrity
Kinda just feels like every action kids show ever
>>83681412The black lion wasn't sent away, since it stayed in the castle, locked up until the other four reunited. It probably wasn't sent away because they had no Paladin for it anymore, either with them thinking the Altaen pilot for it had been KIA somewhere or it just being Zarkon before the war.
Zarkon actually just being Zarkon who was once a Galra Paladin until he decided he'd rather fuck shit up as an Emperor still fits with what we know history-wise: Zarkon could've gone rogue but couldn't take Voltron with him, but could take his alien-name-I-can't-recall-weapon. Without him, Voltron can't be formed unless a new pilot is found and Allura's father decides to just scatter them rather than try. This all happens quick enough to not be able to form a a new weapon thingie. We also know Allura spent time in Galra space before the war, though I guess we don't know Altaen life cycles. They seem to be rather long, as Coran saw the 600 year old castle built as a kid. This could mean they were close enough or part of some Galactic community that had a variety of aliens able to become Paladins. They don't particularly seem askance that aliens are piloting Voltron when they wake up, only at their inexperience.
I still admit it doesn't really fit with the way Allura and Coran act. You'd expect a bit different kind of anger if they knew it was the old Black Paladin. I just find it a more interesting idea that they had different Alien Paladins and Galra used to be one of them until they went to war. Rather than him secretly being an Altaen.
>>83681412I'm thinking that dude's par of the liberation movement.
>>83681522
Altea IS Galran

>>83681926
But I want Shiro/Pidge to happen because I'M shipping trash!
>>83681097I would but I think talking like this outside of /soc/ automatically makes me a faggot.
>>83681943
Pidge and Lance with Shiro as an older brother figure would be funnier.
>>83681943
Well it seems like we're at an impasse then anon...
>>83682041
They told me this would happen, and fool that I am I didn't believe them.
>>83682069
They told me the same thing. Only difference was that I did believe but I did it anyways.
Does that make me a bigger fool?

You monster.
I NEED Pidge/KatieX Shiro to happen, it's a match made in heaven! One of them loves machines, the other one has a robot arm.
Plus, they always go as a duo on teams and Shiro as the team leader specifically chooses to be at her side; their destinies are tied together as he knew her brother and father better than anyone and the moment where they hugged after she found out he saved her brother's life made me tear up like a little baby. They easily have the closest bond in the entire show.
Also I have a thing for hamster/banana relationships ;/
>>83682558
AndShiro is the only one Pidge feels comfortable hugging.
I know this is shipping bullshit, but I want it to happen.
>>83681493
Hey, at least it's turning out better than the last two Voltron shows. Voltron Force was pretty bad, and The Third Dimension doesn't hold up so well.
>>83682539
Of course. It would be cute for an episode, especially if Pidge wasn't really into it and Allura was.
>>83682558
I need Lance to hit on Pidge because of keks.

I haven't cared about shipping from middle school, and I just graduated... now the feels I had then are all flooding back.
Imagine Pidge and Shiro ending up meeting each other after everybody gets stranded, Shiro gets hurt protecting her and since they can't use the healing pods she has to nurse him to health in a cave or somewhere secluded.

>In the dressing room, Allura is doing her makeup and is in her typical elegant royal dress. Pidge is seated nearby her in front of a giant mirror, dressed in casual clothing. The mice are watching with interest. Pidge is holding up a green dress, determining if it will fit on her.
>"Why do I have to get all dressed up and fancy? The guys are just in their regular clothing," Pidge asked in an annoyed tone.
>Allura laughed and replied. "Come now, this is a big party, a proper lady like you should look her best for such an occasion."
>"I'm not really a proper lady, if you haven't guessed," Pidge snapped back.
>"Aww, that's too bad then," Allura responded teasingly, "I'm sure the boys would love to see you dressed all lady-like for once. I'm can already think of a few spectators who would, isn't that right?"
>The mouse squeak in response.
>Beginning to blush a bit, Pidge beings having thoughts about Shiro seeing her in the suit. It sounds embarrassing, and she feels butterflies in her stomach.
>"Besides, it would mean a lot to me if you wore it. My father gave me that dress when I was a teenager," Allura told her as she walked up behind her, fully prepared to go out and make the speech.
>Pidge only blushed more at this statement.
>"And you're letting me wear it? Thanks Allura, that means a lot to me too," she said, turning to face her and smiling.
Cont.
I doubt Shiro will die and he will stay on as a pilot. Probably also why they made Pidge a girl, to have their girl pilot since Allura probably won't pilot or if she does it will be a one off time.
>>83681350
Episode 01 is up on nyaa, I hope the others will be upped soon
>>83682977
People were wrong about Shiro dying, but now it feels like he's set to betray the crew
>>83682981
So it IS anime then?
>>83683022
No, it just looks like one
>A tall silhouette with pointy ears emerges from behind Coran. Walking into the light, it's revealed to be Allura. Everybody turns to face the princess and applaudes.
>"Greetings," Allura begins her speech, "We are all very touched by your help back on the Balmera. Zarkon has ruled the universe for over 10,000 years, and because of this he may seem unstoppable."
>The crowd becomes more tense and serious, except for Lance who can only stare and daydream about the princess.
>"However, it is because of the Galra's alleged invincibility that every little bit counts. Everybody can be a hero, no matter how little they or their contributions may seem, they mean just as much as the contributions made by our brave paladins."
>The crowd's expressions turn to smiles.
>"We've had people betray us in the past, but you lot are some of the most loyal we've ever met. If the universe is full of noble people like you, then it will be no time at all until we have completely broken Zarkon's rule over the universe! Long live Voltron!"
>The entire crowd cheers and begins chanting "Long live Voltron!"
>"Wow, she really can talk, can't she Lance?" Keith asks, turning to his co-pilot. "Uh, Lance?"
>Only drool is coming out.
>Suddenly, another silhouette begins to emerge from behind Allura. This person is walking slower, perhaps nervously, and is much shorter in stature.

This jostled my jiminies more than anything else so far. Having Coran replace Fat Coooking Bitch as the castle comic relief just because Team Korra wanted another Varrick...
just fucking argghh
I am glad they ditched the fat mammy character since she was a miserable killjoy, but I still would have prefered Coran be the Castle Alfred he's meant to be instead of the clown he is in this series. But being the serious one is Allura's schtik now...
Is the one with glasses a chick?
>>83683081
>But being the serious one is Allura's schtik now...
Well since she isn't going to pilot a lion she needs something else.

Back
>The silhouette turns out to be none other than Pidge, dressed in Allura's bright elegant green evening dress from her childhood. It's a perfect fit.
>The rock men are back to dancing, Pidge slips by mostly unnoticed by them, which somewhat eases her nerves.
>"Princess, that speech was fantastic, I couldn't help but shed a tear. Your father would be proud!" he touts.
>"Why thank you Coran," Allura replies with glee.
>Coran begins to sip his punch before catching Pidge walking down the stairs from the quarter of his eye, comically spitting it out.
>"Princess, it's like looking at your spitting image from when you were a teenager!"
>Allura began to giggle. "Well, I did give Pidge my old dress after all. Not like it will fit me any more.
>"That's Pidge!?"

I love it. I have become total shipping trash for them now. I even drew some crap art of Pidge flashing Shiro to fuck with him.Then Shiro tries to fight the urge to hit it harder than the fist of an angry god because honor or something

>>83683323
Since it's looking like Shiro will live and she has more of a mentor role now I don't see her becoming a pilot.
>>83683352
>She won't be a lion pilot.
not this season, perhaps...
>>83683323
They already have a girl pilot so she isn't necessary.
>>83683166
>"Uh guys, are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Keith asked, noticing Pidge slip past Allura and Coran down the stairs in her dress, surprised to see his tomboyish co-pilot in such feminine clothing.
>"Oh I'm seeing it alright, she's so pretty," Lance remarked, his eyes solely focused on the princess, not realizing Keith was referring to his co-pilot.
>Shiro stared speechlessly for a moment, his mouth somewhat agape, before turning his head awkwardly. "See what?"
>Walking around the walls to avoid the large crowd of rock people (and Hunk) dancing, Pidge made her way to the back for a drink and party food.
>"I don't see the guys anywhere in the crowd except Hunk," Pidge thought aloud as she walked forward with her head down, "I guess they won't see me in this dr-"
>In mid-sentence, she bumped her head on a tall man and fell back on her bottom.
>"Hey, watch where you're go-" Pidge said before looking up and realizing who she bumped into "ing..."
>"I-I'm sorry," Shiro responded, instinctively offering his hand for her to get up, which Pidge stared at for a second before grabbing.
>"N-No, it's my fault, don't worry about it," Pidge replied, "Thanks."
>Lance, no longer in a trance-like state, looked over to his side and saw Shiro helping a lady in a green dress up.
>"Hey Shiro, who's the cuti-" Lance asked before stopping in mid-sentence and noticing the glasses, "PIDGE!?"
>"Yeah, what of it!?" Pidge snapped back.
>Lance looked down and back up, checking her out. This was his first time seeing Pidge in women's clothing, he was shocked to say the least.
>"Hey, Pidge would never dress like this! How do we know you aren't a Galra clone?" Lance accused her.
>"That's enough Lance," Keith told him, laughing a bit beforehand, "Let's blow this joint and go spar in our lions or something, I'm not exactly one for parties like this."
>"Heh, I'll race you to the nearest planet, and this time I'll win!" Lance quipped.
>"You're on!"
>That left Pidge and Shiro alone.

She isn't going to pilot a lion.
>>83683365
The rest of it is kind of meh, except for all the rappers getting their asses destroyed, but that opening with Zarkon is one of the greatest things I've ever seen.
>>83683376
She's the ship pilot now. Deal with it.
>>83683335
Can I please see your art? :)
>>83683389
>She isn't going to pilot a lion.
>this season...
>>83683408
She won't at all.
>>83683408
Keep being delusional.
>>83683421
not for a while, at least.
>>83683434
She won't at all.
>>83683434
Considering Shiro is more than likely going to live now and remain on as a lion pilot, it's pretty much given that she won't pilot a lion.
>>83683446
Well, not at first, and not all the time...
>>83683477
No she won't. Especially if it goes against the story they're telling. This show needs to stand on its own and not be a slave to the original.
>>83683458
Agreed. I think she fits the Doggie Kruger role of Mentor who occasionally enters the battle better. The show shouldn't be doing stuff because the old series did it. That's what killed Voltron Force.
>>83683388
>"So, uh..." Pidge began, practically mumbling, "Enjoying the party?"
>"Yeah, liking it more now that you're here... Katie," he replied, smiling to her.
>That was the second time he called her by her real name, causing her to blush extremely hard and look down, turning a bit to her left.
>"T-Thanks," she replied, visibly blushing and not wanting Shiro to see.
>Shiro couldn't help but stare at her. He was perplexed by his hoydenish partner's sheer beauty, which the dress highlighted. The dress brought out her slim arms and exposed a bit of her cleavage. She was even wearing high heels. After what seemed like an eternity of staring but was in reality only a few ticks, Shiro spoke up.
>"Hey uh, I whipped up some cookies for the party, want to give them a try?"
>Immediately, Pidge turned to Shiro and nodded her head, she loved cookies more than life itseslf.
>"Of course, I'd love to!" she replied, she really meant it.
>Shiro smiled and looked at the plate. There were still a couple left, and he didn't really want any more. He handed her them.
>"Thanks Shiro!" she responded and proceeded to bite into one of them.
>Immediately she recognized the taste.

>>83683403
yeH, sure man.
>>83683565
>"Peanut butter..." Pidge whispered, too quietly for Shiro to hear.
>"I'm sorry, I didn't-"
>"Peanut butter!" Pidge exclaimed.
>Pidge proceeded to consume the delicious peanut butter cookies in a matter of a few bites. Shiro relaxed a bit and savoured her expression, he had made the cookies for her in the first place and was happy that she liked them.
>"Shiro, those were the best cookies I've had since my brother's," she praised, "Where did you learn to cook so good?"
>"Well, I might've had a bit of help from a certain somebody," Shiro replied, looking over to Hunk who was attempting to do the chicken dance to impress Shay, keyword being attempting.
>"Well, I'm impressed," she replied, deciding she should make a move of her own, "So uh, do you wanna... you know?"
>"Dance?" Shiro asked, blushing a bit himself.
>Pidge blushed profusely, but responded by nodding her head and offering her hand out. He had offered his hand to her earlier, time for her to do the same, and he took it.
>Just then, waltz music began to play, it was time for a slow dance.
>Slipping into the crowd this time, Shiro and Pidge began to do the waltz, performing gliding motions in tandem with the rock monsters who knew the dance far better than they did.
>Although their dance skills were rather lackluster, the two couldn't help but smile as they looked each other in the eye as they held hands and danced together. They were happy.
>"So Shiro, where'd you hear that I like peanut butter cookies?" she asked randomly.
>"The person who told me knows who she is," Shiro responded, amused.
>"She huh? Well, tell Allura- I mean her, that I thanked her," Pidge jokingly replied.
>"You got it," Shiro said, laughing a bit with Pidge.
>As the music began to fade out, Shiro pulled her closer to him in an embrace and whispered into her ear.
>Cont.
>>83683756
Thanks! I like your art, do you have a DA or anything? I might publish my fanfic there though I'm using FF.net first.
>>83683766
>"I love you, Katie."
>The music faded out completely, and the girl who had always been so strong began to cry, expressing her fragility. Her entire body felt like it was heating up, her butterflies were fluttering more than ever before. She could barely muster out her next sentence.
>"Shiro, close your eyes," she mumbled out, thankfully loud enough for him to hear, and he complied.
>Taking a deep breath, she wrapped her arms around the back of his neck and pulled him down, leaning up herself and meeting his lips with her own. He could feel the wetness coming from her eyes, her tears. She could feel him kissing back, and opened her mouth to let his tongue meet with her own. For several moments they shared in a passionate embrace and an even more passionate kiss, before finally parting lips to breathe.
>"Shiro, I love you too," she confessed to him.
>"Katie..." he began, "Your tongue tastes like peanut butter," he responded teasingly.
>She immediately looked down again. "Shiro, you're such a big dummy."
>This moment was lost to the crowd, but not to Keith and Pidge, who were secretly looking down at them from higher up, their excuse for leaving was a mere ruse.
>"Guess I won the bet," Keith boasted.
>"Yeah yeah," Lance responded, "fine you win this time. I'm still serious about the race though."
FIN
>>83683756
It begins.
How long before Lotor shows up?
>>83684112
He showed up in the finale
>>83683756
>Shiro
ew ew ew no.
Lance/Pidge is OTP
>>83684324
elaborate
>>83684324
Lance only likes Allura. Hell, Lance X Keith has more material and I don't even get what these people complaining about a gay cast of characters is going on about. The only thing "backing" it is that Lance was surprised that Pidge was a girl, which just goes to show how he doesn't know her well at all since everybody else figured it out.
>>83684390
>>83684347
I personally like the idea of Lance/Pidge mainly for shit and giggles, imagine Lance the failed casanova who hits on every good looking girl develop feelings for his tomboy co-pilot.
It would make for good comedy if handled well.
>>83683302
> Pink Ranger with no Black Ranger
Shiro is going to die ain't he?
>>83684528
No, that's for the old series and this show is for seven year olds.
>>83684528
Nah, the original black lion pilot quit due to trauma from the first battle..
This series is quite superior to that last reboot with that abysmal cliffhanger of the young black lion pilot going evil.
>Prince Lowtor when?
>>83684753
Lotor was in the season finale to free the lions
>>83684441
As anime as this Voltron show is, I've seen this played out so many times in anime it's kind of lost whatever allure it had to me. I prefer my romance conflicts less dumb hothead induced nowadays.
That said, I could without ANY shipping nonsense in Voltron beyond Lance hitting on girls and getting shot down all the time. (Except that one episode where she doesn't and she's actually into him and it's not a trap at all and he actually legitimately falls for her two but it turns out she's a robot sleeper agent and blows up or is a ghost or has to stay behind or something.) But since that's not likely to happen, I just hope whatever DOES happen is not too inane.
>>83684528
No, green is the female ranger now so black could live and pink stays on the ship.
>>83684753
>young black lion pilot going evil
He's not gonna be evil.
>>83684815
>I've seen this played out so many times in anime it's kind of lost whatever allure it had to me
i never seen this happen, i guess i should watch more anime.
animes where the failed casanova ends up hitting on his tomboy friend who he thought was a guy?
no seriously tell me some, i need this trope in my life.
>>83684815
>That said, I could without ANY shipping nonsense in Voltron beyond Lance hitting on girls and getting shot down all the time.
I really want this. Too many shows get dragged down with inane will they won't they relationship garbage that doesn't get resolved until the last episode.
>>83684850
That was how Voltron Force ended
>>83684883
And Voltron Force sucked.
>>83684850
Oh, what about Hagar's speech about being broken then remade? What of his arm? His missing memories?
He's a sleeper agent or will get brainwashed, for a time and Allura will have to step up as Pink Pilot until he can be saved.
And she will be hot
Thus speaks Nostrodumus
>mfw i basically fucked myself over for liking Lance/Pidge
is not gonna happen, its not gonna be a popular ship, goddammit i fucked up, why did nobody stop me.
>>83681522
>Without him, Voltron can't be formed unless a new pilot is found and Allura's father decides to just scatter them rather than try.
Holy shit this makes sense at first I thought the king didn't want to use voltron in the final fight pretty much equated to "BECAUSE PLOT"
But Voltron's head being the chief antagonist gone rogue and thus they'd risk the black lion (which has a mind of it's own) turning on them
>>83684952
He will break through it and remain on as the black ranger. She won't become a lion pilot.
>>83684952
>until he can be saved.
He'll probably be saved by the end of the episode they activate him.
>>83682203
Pidge and Shiro is the patricians ship.
>>83684852
yo seriously, hit me up with this.
>>83684852
Eh, I suppose I misspoke. I was more thinking about it's parent strain, the "hopeless hot head who get into angry arguments with the tomboy then they end up together" thing. Sorry for getting your hopes up.
But even then, you have Ouran High for specifically crossdressing. Tamaki is a bit too sucessful to be similar to Lance, but given what we've seen how how Pidge likes to act, Haruhi and Pidge are cut from the same bird feathers. Full Metal Panic and Inuyasha have their tomboys in the relationships a bit too old and with too big an inheritance of land to fit the same aesthetic as Pidge, but the idea is the same.
I dunno, I think my problem is more the classic Ranma "angry guy and angry tom girl rom com." Which I suppose Lance/Pidge doesn't have to be.
Still going with "no shipping" for my wish, though.
Don't see what anyone would have against Allura.
She's an elf that's also delicious brown.
It's fantastic.
>>83683365
nigga what the fuck. Legit what.
>>83685127
Original is better.
>>83685059
oh... i'm disappointed and actually sad.
thanks anyways.
>>83680566
I haven't seen it, does Sven still have an atrocious swedish accent, does Pidge still speak like a gremlin?
>>83681522>it doesn't really fit with the way Allura and Coran act. You'd expect a bit different kind of anger if they knew it was the old Black Paladin.
Perhaps only the King knew the truth? Some sort of evil magic corruption/transformation dealy?
>>83685238
Sven is now Shiro. He's voiced by the Spectacular Spider-Man and Cartoon Hal Jordan. Pidge speaks like a young boy voiced by a woman.
>>83684981
>Holy shit this makes sense at first I thought the king didn't want to use voltron in the final fight pretty much equated to "BECAUSE PLOT"
To be fair, he basically says that at one point. That it would've been better to use Voltron than hide it, which implies they could've if they tried, which means they'd have needed a Black Paladin.Hah hah, man that was some Pottery on the 11th episode title (or I guess 13th? Netflix has it as 11).
>>83685249
Maybe. There's not much to go on, right now.I'm more wondering if anyone heard him ranting about the Black Lion returning to its rightful owner. And, you know, having the Black Paladin's weapon thingy. It did look all evil and spikey, though.Interestingly, we know Shiro should get it, or another one for himself, at some point, considering he uses it in the Opening.
>>83685303
Lame, I like that Pidge is finally normal, but I liked Sven a lot even with his bad accent.
>>83685379
We have Coran to fulfill the silly accents quota now.
I should go watch the original show, just for comparisons sake.
The animation feels familiar.
Did Korra's studio do the animation?
>>83685400
It's pretty crazy though it's no killing rule gave the Voltron some better arcs over Go-Lion. In Go-Lion Sven dies in episode two and his twin brother shows up later, in Voltron Sven is poisoned and gets shipped off to a hospital planet, on the way his ship is intercepted and he's kidnapped and taken to a slave planet. From there he slowly recovers in the mines and then forms a revolution, and frees all the slaves and returns home.

For what it's worth, given how this shit usually shakes down:
>Allura/Shiro or Allura/Keith
>or Allura/Shiro, Shiro is written off, then Allura/Keith
>Lance/Pidge
>Hunk/Rock Waifu
>Caron alone
are pretty much the safe bets when it comes to playing the cliches to the hilt. If any romance actually happens, which it probably well. To my disgust.
Someone tell me if Allura sees right through Pidge.
>>83685916The Mice tell her in episode 5(?), but she doesn't figure it out on her own.
>>83685916
No, not without aid.
>>83685839
>Shiro staring slack jawed as Allura just busts down a metal door and tosses people around.
Ship bait is strong, man.
>>83685916
Space mice have to tell her. We then get a brief scene of Pidge acting gross in public making Allura doubt them.
Is it as Gurren Lagann as the trailers suggested ?
While I do love TTGL , TTGL=/=voltron
What is with the avalanche of constant shitposting in these threads?
Mods need to start getting fuckin' mean, cause this site has gotten nigh unusable.
>>83686010
Not really. Sure, there's a lot of "magic science combining robots powered by the pilots bonds and so on." But it's not even remotely as crazy. The tone isn't really similar, either.
>>83686010
Keith brings the spiral energy from time to time but it doesn't amount to much.
>>83681943
Well i want shiro/Keith to happen cause im edgy
>>83686056
Oh yeah, I forgot about that bizarre sequence where he's drawn like Kittan understanding spiral power. What a fucking weird segment that was.
>>83682689
Yes this kind of quality is what I want to see on 4chan. Not the figgits
>>83686085
Wait, I forgot. Did Shiro recognize Keith when he showed up to bust Shiro out? I feel like he did, and then that was literally never followed up on. I beginning to realize just how little of anything about Keith we got.
>>83686010
There's one shot I'm pretty sure is a reference to TTGL, but I'm not particularly /a/utistic, so it might have been a reference to something else. and I just thought of TTGL.
And TTGL was basically a giant love letter to mecha, so it's reasonable that a mecha series would bear at least a slight resemblance to it.
