Adam: *Is hyped to hell and back and then killed off in one episode*

The Entire Voltron Fandom: _Adam_

How to write a good show:
WRITE IT BEFORE THE SHOW STARTS DONT TOSS IT OUT RIGHT AFTER SEASON 2

HOLD ON A MINUTE!
>8 Seasons
>2 year run
I am beginning to see where the problems began to manifest.

[tabithaalphess]

As a former Voltron fan who NEVER ONCE paid attention to the show's marketing outside of release dates for the next season, I was deeply confused by the level of hate it received. Like, the last seasons weren't good, but what could have offended people so much? And then I saw the marketing. I don't think they thought it through

[KittyKatKandi]

voltron writers: the lions have this really intense specific emotional bond with their paladins and the lions have waited for hundreds for these specific people to come along and will only open up to their chosen individual!!! And they spend all this time bonding with their paladins to the point that some of them start to basically act on their own to save their paladins!!
Also the voltron writers: oh yah they can just switch like nbd lmao bond what bond

“Coran has never dipped in quality”

So true

[ryanklatt]

It hurts to see perfectly good animation, voice acting, and intellectual property go to waste.

[zsan]

The worst part for me was the whole lion switcheroo thing. They had established that they all have a special bond with there lion, and they emphasize how especially strong Shiro’s bond is to the black lion, with him fighting Zarkon for control. Then in the blink of an eye they just erase all that, and the worst part is they don’t even change suits.

I'm still mad that all Hunk was really good for was "Fat Joke Character"

[SavannahBurris]

I never did understand why the show redeemed Lotor... and then immediately dumped him in the garbage.

[Khyon]

Who the hell thought it would be cool to make Lance a Farmer

[mara]

I was left genuinely and extremely confused but the whole "wait shiro's gone, wait shiro's back, wait shiro's a clone, wait he's not a clone, wait he's a side character" To this day I am still confused about shiro's character arc or whatever that was

[Moonstar]

*Audience: sees Shiro's S7 hair*
*Audience:* Oh, it turned white from the stress of being a paladin after such a traumatic experience and he stepped down to a role healthier for him and also Keith?
*Screenwriters:* Nah, all the color was drained when he un-died.

[Moonstar]

Was no one else annoyed that they suddenly started using these alien terms for hours, minutes, and years but never translated for the audience and just expected us to know how long a decisuskribnak is

[savannahpfierman]

*The fact that they didn’t change colors when they changed lions made me FURIOUSSS*

[ampersandcastle]

Also they never brought up the fact that Lance LITERALLY DIED. ONE OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS DIED and they just completely ignore that?? Lance and Keith could’ve had another bonding moment talking about their near-death experiences. Honestly, every fix-it fic I’ve ever read has been better than the actual show. Lance my boy you deserved better (as did everyone else as well)

[bhume]

Romelle is the most wasted opportunity of a character. Every time she was there I was like "oooh, is this the Romelle episode?" and then she'd just kinda be there while everyone had a show going on...

[zaksharaz]

They should've taken time and not rushed the whole tv show in 2 years time

[luciacampillo]

Pidge was kinda underrated. She cross-dressed to save her family, named herself after pigeons, learn how to decrypt and HACK an alien language, was like 12 or smth, and had cool, original weapons.
and yeah im biased, she was my favorite character

[Dooodle]

Yeah, I didn’t see the tweets about Adam, so when it was revealed he died, I was like, “oh so Shiro is sad one of his friends died.” I thought he was literally just a friend!
