Well that trailer was a whole lot of nothing.

B-but… PRINCE LOTOR! PLEASE CLAP!

Pic related.

I'm desperately hoping that they don't pull any gender bullshit with Pidge, and instead just continue with her established characterization as a weird tomboy tech-savant. They've been pretty good about keeping the political shit minimal/absent from the actual show thus far, so I'm cautiously optimistic.

I hope the show actually gits gud also pidge and lance should fuck

Trailer didn't hype Lotor worth shit. Hell, it didn't hype ANYTHING worth shit. It's just bunch of random crap. I barely even registered the significance of "we can't form Voltron".

Seriously, whoever made this trailer should be fired. It's pathetic.

PIDGE IS A GRIL. Tumblr can say whatever they want, but her vagina is CANON.

Hopefully with the leak incident, they decide to not give the tumblr fanbase any sort of treat. So hopefully no gay ships or sudden trans agenda.

How does Netflix make money on voltron exactly though?
You binge it and then most I would assume go back to something else.
How is that profitable.

...

It's called character development, pleb.

I didn't know character development involved HEY GUYS, I'M A GIRL, LOOK AT ME.

Netflix makes money by luring subscriptions with content people like. I was tempted to say 'Good' content, but Netflix likes to carry shitty, popular stuff in addition to a few gems.
The reason that Voltron is still going is because it is popular, and therefore holding many subscriptions even if it isn't making direct money.

It means she's growing out of being a tomboy. I think.

No, it's Pidge opening up to her team. Up until that point, Pidge was distant and actively kept secrets from them (like about her family and her true identity). She was even going to leave at one point, but she realized that she was part of a larger scheme and accepted her role in team Voltron.

Does anyone on Holla Forums actually watch cartoons?

I pretty much only use netflix to rewatch Star Trek and Futurama. Arrested Development too, when I feel like marathoning it again.

I do and I hope for lanceXpidge

Having actually watched the cartoon, I'm pretty sure the context for that scene is "I'm going to be relying on these people for the foreseeable future; I probably ought to tell them who I am." I thought it was a pretty amusing scene, particularly once it becomes clear that Lance was the only person who hadn't already figured it out.


>Does anyone on Holla Forums actually watch cartoons?
There are times when I wonder about that.

...

Trap: draw a chick, say it's got a cock.
Pidge: draw a dude, say it's got a pussy.

Occasionally go, "Oh shit, remember how this is a chick?" and shoehorn in some stereotypical chick shit before forgetting all about it again.


Sure.
It a a moment of potential that was predictably wasted. "Haha Lance is narcissistic." What? That's it?

Is there any reason for the rest to have figured it out except because plot? What did they see Pidge do that no dude would/could possibly have done? I don't recall any foreshadowing of their realizations (though that doesn't mean there wasn't any).
But that would mean exploring gender issues instead of going for the anvillicious 'girls can do it too' message.
Weirdly despite all this I don't mind Pidge. Looks like my suspension of disbelief held up.

nah either shiro or keith are gonna end up with Galra or the Brown elf.

So Pidge is a reverse trap?

I'm hoping Lotor can save this show, season one was okay and the best thing about season two was the mall episode, this show needs a massive kickstart, because so far it is pretty okay.

And fuck the piece of shit that tried to blackmail the producers into making their fag couple canon.

It has clearly been established that Lance is a hound dog and there are jokes about him wanting to impress the princess. So I don't know where Tumblr gets the idea that he wants to fuck Keith.

So is haggar lotors mom? It would explain the hair

Shiro x coffin

They're a bunch of loons, you should know this already.

...

It's the classic case of "they hate each other so they must secretly love each other".

...

When did this happen? I don't remember Pidge doing any "stereotypical chick shit" after the it turned out she was a girl. She was treated and acted pretty much the same afterward.

It involved coming clean about a secret, so that she didn't feel like she was deceiving her team and could bond better with them. She wasn't doing it for attention or as some political call out, she had to do it at some point, and she no longer had an excuse to keep it a secret, she NEEDED to come clean then.

How can a joke aimed at children fly so far over your head? It wasn't about Lance being narcissistic, it was about Lance being dense ("Haha, everyone besides Lance figured it out"). It didn't have anything to do with "girls can do it too," the scene would have worked the same if Pidge was a nerdy girl who revealed she was just a boy in disguise aka a regular trap.

I don't know about Keith, but Hunk read though Pidge's diary, the mice told Allura about it, even in Reverse Trap mode Pidge looks pretty androgenous so Coran (and some viewers) thought she was a girl at first sight anyways, and Shiro recognized her since he was a family friend and had probably already seen her in person anyways.)

Yes.

They're yaoi fangirls who learned to use SJW language to give their ships a semblance of real word importance. Lance and Keith fucking isn't hawt yaoiz for them to shlick to, it's an important REPRESENTIATION for interracial and LGBBQTs!

The funny thing is that they have to do mental gymnastics to slam other ships that "compete" with theirs. So now Keith X Allura is "hetronormative" which is apparently bad even though it's also interracial (heck, it's interspecies since Keith is a mix of human and ayy lmao and Allura is a different kind of ayy lmao) or Keith and Shiro is "abusive" because Shiro is too old for Keith (even though we don't know their actual ages) so it's a pedophilia relationship to them.

I'd say most SJWs are just shippers with a thesaurus.

I miss the days when people just admitted they were into yaoi and yuri without trying to make it into some sort of retarded political statement.

Also Keith and Allura makes much more sense since well, Allura is a massive fucking racist who needed to learn that not all Galra are bad.

But we can't have a man and a woman get together! That is blasphemy!

I hope this season gives more background on zarkon and why he went full chimpout, genociding the alteans and killing his fellow paladins. Also it would be cool to see more benign/non-evil galra, that aren't affiliated with the rebels(like the mall cop) I just find it hard to believe that literally all galra live in the spaceships and spend all day doing military shit.

There are also Voltron toys that apparently sell well (I have no idea if this is true or not, as I'm not /toy/ and don't know how to actually check this.)

So basically civilian Galra? I wouldn't be surprised if one of the seasons was like season 3 of Avatar, and takes place deep in Galra territory.


I doubt it. The writers and everyone who has worked on the show has been saying that Pidge is a girl from season 1. Anything to the contrary is just the delusions of a tumlbrina.

What is about this show that attracts the creepiest Tumblr parasites? Is it the Avatar style?

The cute boys being together as a team. Because they can't understand friendship or brotherhood.

I'm not saying Shiro is dead. I'm saying he needs to die. Capitalize on the death flags, pay homage to Go-Lion, get the proper balance going on. Spitting in the face the the shippers would be a nice bonus.

All these people who tie themselves in knots making arguments why Shiro should live make the greatest argument why he needs to be written off.

Saying such things hurts the legitimacy of your ship. The entire goal of shippers is dominate and destroy rival ships, so saying you want it just cus it rubs your harbl doesn't help your cause.

However, saying it's "gay representation" allows you to shame other ships as being "homophobic".

Where did shiro touch you user?

Exactly. I want to see regular boring galra people doing stuff. Ordinary worker galra just trying to live his life. Maybe some edgy galra teens that think voltron is cool because fuck you dad.

Is the one with brown hair Pidge?


Makes sense. Reminds me of when they tried to pull that shit with shipping Captain America and Winter Soldier in the Civil War movie.

That's her brother.

Or you know, I just want him to fill his character archetype.

Oh yeah hold on, let me just quickly re-watch three seasons to find approximately four incidents.

I recall one shoehorned in earlier as well, which could have been the trigger for realizing he's a she. Instead, see below… And that's kind of my point. It happens, but so rarely you forget all about it.


That's the same thing. He's dense because he's self-absorbed.

So, not their own powers of perception. It's not even that Lance is narcissistic, it's that he doesn't have the advantage of spying/prior knowledge. "Haha, Lance got dicked over by the writers!" Funny, but not the way it's intended. Apparently 'aimed at children' means 'nobody notice that we didn't actually tell the joke we think we told'.

Delusion and with no proof to back up claims. Jesus Christ.

Episode 2, approximately 3:25.
"But I want…"
If you're a dude, nobody gives a shit what you want. Nobody bats an eye at a girl saying this though.
A dude has to phrase this as, "I think we should talk to the prisoners." Gender stereotypes are so deeply ingrained that nobody even notices they just made a chick do chick things unless
Normally the animators would have scrubbed it for making a girl look selfish, if they'd noticed.

Approximately 15:10
"I don't want everyone running around in my head."
Yeah the dudes don't want it either, but nobody gives a shit what dudes want. They just have to suck it up.
"I'm just tired."
Imagine Shiro saying this instead. "Okay team, I'm tired. Let's all take a break." You'd think he's selfish. Typically it is selfish.

Episode 3 approximately 22:25
*Tears*
*Emotionally* "I'm so sorry I doubted you, thank you so much." *Hugs.*
And you don't remember Pidge doing stereotypical chick shit. Jesus Christ. Pidge doesn't even know Shiro's on to her until immediately after.

...

Oh I see, you don't know how gender stereotypes work. Are you literally autistic? You didn't notice any because you're actually incapable of noticing them.
I'ma unilaterally declare victory.

That said if you want to have the debate about emotions in men I think it would be more productive, and I'm game, but it has nothing to do with Voltron.

Explain. I never watched much original voltron, what do mean is archetype?

Killed early on but eventually replaced with an identical twin brother.
Or if you're a localization that is into censoring death; badly injured and then eventually gets better.

Me too. Why does every good cartoon have to become a political statement for tumblr?


Source?


Found the gist of it. Jesus fucking Christ. People are fucking insane. It's just a cartoon. Not worth any of this drama.


I probably the only person who like this pairing. And since I am not a fucking lunatic that spams/harasses the show's employees, it's probably not going to happen. Feels bad. They are going to give in. I know it. They are going to cater to lunatics.

Fuck it. I hope there is no final pairings. If they just delivery some great animation and story, I'll be happy.

And that's just the jist of it, you haven't seen the stuff these kind of people. They've thrown almost everyone under a bus.

If anything, I think the people who work on the show are starting to get frustrated with the lunatics.

Translation: These tumblr crazies need to fuck off already, they're ruining everything for everyone.

I highly doubt Klance will be canon, the Voltron staff probably hate their those underage SJW fujos who ship that shit now.


Nah, other people like it, there are a lot of great artists and fans, but they're all buried underneath the rabid fanatics.

It's funny, in a way. Back when Avatar was airing, all the fujos were crazy for Zutara. Now Voltron is out, and is basically giving them Zutara in Space, but now they hate it.

I'm pretty sure it'll be canon too, I think they hooked up in the old series too.

It's funny you bring up Avatar. Lauren Montgomery and Joaquim Dos Santos are basically copying classic Avatar's formula with Voltron. You have a diverse, well-written cast with strong female characters that doesn't shy away from real danger, character imperfections, or exploring deeper issues (like Allura's racism).

If this came out in 2005, people would be praising it's risk taking, but that's just not good enough for "current year" audiences.

I feel Korra has poisoned everything.

Those people have the patience of saints. I wouldn't be able to handle any of this bullshit. Thanks user.:')

Especially, for the pics. It's hard to find cute fan art of Allura and Keith. You got wade through a whole lot of shit.

KEK!

That sounds really fucking stupid tho why do you like that?

It's not necessarily the replaced by their brother part. It's more the inconvenient death that the rest of the cast needs to adapt to, sort of like Obi wan Kenobi or whenever a Transformers cartoon kills Optimus (and takes it back because the replacement is shit).

Keith being half galra is the most austistic edgey horseshit I've ever watched, I don't care if it's in the original, it's terrible.

But his mom was the galra
That makes it hot

Oh don't remind me I hated those Zutara cunts so much. They acted like they spoke for the entire fandom.

I hope there will be a Klancer Hall of Anal Devastation when/if Keith hooks up with Allura and if Lance hooks up with someone on the show.

I don't even watch Naruto or Bleach, and the HoADs for them were pretty funny.

I think it will grow on more people in future seasons if/when Keith and Allura grow closer. Personally the ship I like is Lance and Pidge, but I'm not getting my hopes up on it happening.

Also, it's a shame that the fanbase is mostly fujos because I think the punk girl alien is really underrate and doesn't get nearly as much fanart as she should.

I forgot the "Shallura" (Shiro X Allura) HoAD.

imgur.com/a/wB9ki

To be fair she's a very one of background character. But she is pretty cute.


As cute as they'd look together, I can't in my right mind support a gay ship. Or any ship for that matter. I'm here for aliens, space battles, and brotherly bonding to defeat an unstoppable force. Not this gay shit.

I can still enjoy the fanart, I know it ain't gonna happen in the show. I hope they at least have an episode where they make a sisterly bond since the current team is such a sausagefest.

My nigger

Fair. I would like to see them bond together a little too but I doubt we'd get Katara and Toph levels of nice bonding. Or that it wouldn't just result in a new influx of lesbian shipping art.

If they wanted to be accurate to the source material then Allura would be the only girl on the team whatsoever.

I wonder how zarkon convinced haggar to betray her entire people and join him

I don't give a shit about any other ship. I just want my Hunk/Shay ship dammit

I wonder why Zarkon looked exactly the same in his flashback. I would've figured past Zarkon would look less like a big menacing purple lizard alien and more knightly.


Logically this is the only really realistic ship to ever come true.

...

Plz no bully

Yeah did the show ever explain how zarkon lives so long?

Yeah it's something about absorbing a planet's energy through magic rituals giving him prolonged life.

So presumably haggar aging is slowed using the same process

Somewhat yes. She and her witches/warlocks are definitely alive thanks to some form of dark magic at least.

I wonder if lotor is also thousands of years old

I'm kinda glad they didn't show anything. They showed too much in the season two trailer.

I pray for this.

Thank you once more for the cute pics.How could I not ship it after mall episode? Best episode of the season.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD IT WAS TO REFIND MY SMUG PICS OF PIDGE!

When the first season came out. There was nothing but good art. Now it nothing but waves and waves of shit. Why is there so much mermaid porn?! And no it's not of the cute mermaids girls from season two.
It so painful to wade through…..

It's weird that Zarkon is thousands of years old, and has only had ONE kid.

Part of the reason is even though the show itself doesn't really have any SJW stuff, it attracts a lot of teenage white girls (because of the hawt boiz) who tend to be SJWs.

The bad thing about this is they try to chase off artists and writers who make content they deem inappropriate. So any ship with Shiro and the other Paladins are bad because she's too old, any ship with Pidge and the other characters is bad because it's too young, and that's just for ships involving age, they can invent any reason for why something may be racist, homophobic, whatever, and if you get put on their shitlist they're just keep sending hate to the artist until they get frustrated and leave. As a result, good content by non-insane artists who have managed to not let the fanbase's ire get to them is a rarity, and we're left with a bunch of politically correct hacks.

But like you said, you can find a lot of good stuff anyways if you dig deep. What I find is a good thing to do is to go to the Pidge_Gunderson tag and simply block anybody who says or draws Pidge as transexual, non-binary or any other tumblr gender. It makes searching in other Voltron tags easier.

I think Zarkon only saw it fit to have one child with one lucky woman because he doesn't want to share his power over the universe perhaps. Perhaps Lotor is just a precaution should Zarkon ever fall or be put out of commission. We'll find out soon enough.

Maybe Zarkon saw how Lotor turned out and said "Nope, not doing that anymore" and chose to be immortal instead.

That would actually be hilarious

I have fucking 600 gigs of comics purely to back up any fucking thing I say. If I say that in the first eleven Batman stories, Batman fired his gun four times and never at a person (unless you count vampires and monster-men people), I have enough comics to fucking prove it.

On Holla Forums, if someone calls your shit out and you can't fucking be bothered to rewatch three season of cartoons to substantiate it, then you can fuck right off to whatever shit-hole board you came from BECAUSE WE TALK ABOUT COMICS AND CARTOONS HERE MOTHERFUCKER.

Maybe, I mean maybe it's just me, but maybe Zarkon in this continuity fucked Haggar the Witch when she was just a young virile up and coming nerdy Altean that had maybe an interest in forbidden intergalatic mystic arts. Zarkon, being the Black Paladin with the most god damn swagger and game at the time swept her off her feet. And then somewhere around the point that Haggar decided to fuck her own damn entire species over, she had a bun in oven before she went sterile with mystic immortality. I mean if Lothor is going to be obviously half Altean, I would not be surprised that if it's revealed that Haggar is Lothor's Mom. She's kinda the most obvious party for being loyal and hanging around Zarkon for so damn long.

Of course that might also explain their relationship, first they're husband and wife and then after 1000's of years they sorta turn plantonic over time, because maybe your sex junk don't work so well over the centuries.

Sex junk broke from magic or both becoming cold conniving monsters that would wipe out a planet without a second thought. Either, I'm sure.

wew I love you jimmyposter

Is there any good haggar/zarkon porn?

Hello, tumblr.

I BULLY YOU!

Scroll down. Also, take your meds.

Its funny the preview reminds me more of an adult swim promo than something you'd find on Netflix.

Some posts got deleted from this thread what the fuck

I think you're imagining things.

They did.


Then they reappeared again.

I also find I often can't page through /a/, it gets stuck and I have to use the catalogue.
