stani_cv Review of Voltron: Legendary Defender

Voltron: Legendary Defender (2016–2018)

someone got lazy in the end

[4/10 · 25 January 2019]

My initial review got rejected. I don't know why. If it was some other show I probably wouldn't even care but I loved Voltron as a kid. I grew up watching the it daily . The new series was such a joyful surprise..and then there was season 8. This last chapter feels like it was forced and patched together with a bunch of random ideas. Throughout the whole season characters make the most illogical decisions just to drive the story somewhere. Everything starts well, but it quickly goes downhill from there. After some filler episode we get to the grand finale where despite the impossible odds the good guys win through...willpower. I don't know how else to describe it. Voltron is the most awesome force in the universe. That's what we are lead to believe, but I don't get that impression from watching season 8. To top it all there are a bunch of cliches thrown in and a weird ending. You won't really miss much if you skip that last part and save yourself several hours.
