But what about Ezekiel?

Spare me a moment. The library has changed and benefited all the librarians in some way. Setting aside the fact they have all gained a family:

Flynn has a purpose, a use for all of his studies and he’s become a teacher and role model.

Eve has learnt how to manage all these geniuses and has faith in her role as protector.

Jake now publishes under his own name and he’s now a badass kung fu fighter.

Cassandra no longer suffers or is dying from her brain grape and she’s starting to understand/use magic.

Sooo.... what about Ezekiel? Cause he hasn’t hugely changed from when he originally walked in to the libary. Not skill wise or made any huge emotional/mental/physical developments.

Dont get me wrong he’s awesome! He’s the best theif in the world, he’s Ezekiel Jones.

But I wonder if that’s why we all want him to have some sort of godly parentage cause maybe that’ll give him a new skill or edge.

Thoughts?

Its was fine. Could have been better

Okay I binged watched Voltron season 8 the day it came out and I came away enjoying it. But it was one of those highs that made you delirious to the fact… it wasn't great.

I did enjoy it, I respect the creators behind it and honestly I think this fandom put far too much pressure on the Voltron creators with all these shipping wars.However, here are some changes I would have made.

1) LANCE, ATLANTEAN, WHY?

Out off all the fanfic AUs to choose from… why this one? Huh? It leaves more questions then it ever answers. Is he actually Atlantean? Can he shape shift like other Atlanteans? Or does he just have markings? I’m so confused and honestly this was one of the top five moments I was like… WHAT? What an unnecessary thing to do. It added nothing to the story and just left us all wondering what it meant.

2) ALLURANCE, WAS IT WORTH IT?

Okay, cool they committed to a ship. Lance becoming Atlantean was only worth while in the regard that when Allura left to save the universe it meant they had a more ‘meaningful’ goodbye.  

But like… it added nothing. Sorry Allurance fans but was that the relationship you wanted? Their first date, alright that was cute. Can’t deny that. But wow, what a rushed romantic relationship. It was ignored pretty much for seven seasons and then suddenly its front and centre in the last season? It was way too intense and didn't get me invested so when Allura ‘died’ I didn't care about their goodbye, cause there was no tension or build up before hand.

Don’t get me wrong I actually like them as a couple. They contrast each other nicely. Allura actually makes Lance think about others, makes him think deeply about the world and I definitely think Lance became a better leader because of her. Lance makes Allura relax and have fun, live in the moment and makes her smile. I like the idea of their relationship, I think it had potential, I thought their was some cute moments between them. Their relationship banter would have been great.

Does this justify giving us an over rushed relationship when you didn't feel anything at their goodbye? No. It would have been better to do no ships at all and left with ‘what if’. Leave the last conversation between Lance and Allura be her saying: ‘Lance, I quite like your ears now, but maybe its just you’. At least that would have some circularity with their relationship and mirrored their first convo.

3) UMMMM…. MORE PALADIN BONDING MOMENTS PLEASE

I just felt like there was a lack of paladin moments. There was no further growth between them. I think the main problem that caused this was that this season was serialised instead of episodic. What I mean by this was that there were not any stand alone episodes that just focused on a side quest or mission, like when Hunk and Keith when to the space Weblum; When Shiro and Pidge found the green lion; When all the team got stuck in the game show reality.

Shiro and Keith who are apparently brothers and mean a lot to each other and had good exploration of their past relationship last season but then had like 4 seconds of alone time. Why not introduce Shiro’s parents to Keith’s parents? Also more of Hunk’s family please! He was so worried about them last season and we got like… no pay off.

Instead, this whole season just focused on the lead up to the final battle, so this season was not character driven but plot driven and I think thats the main sin of this season, IT WASN’T CHARACTER DRIVEN.

4) HUMANS ARE OKAY WITH ALIENS?

Come on, humans can’t stand other humans but there is peace between aliens and humans? Don't buy it. Also the human race just got destroyed by aliens. So show these conflicts. Show that tension. Show the human race trying to get back on its feet.

Maybe merge Acxa's storyline with this prejudice. Have her say she’s used to it, get attacked and abused cause of her half breed status. Then have her attacked by some humans cause she's the only obviously Alien. But then have the other’s, like Griffin and Keith, protect her. Have a whole speech about unity and that at this moment all they have and can rely on is each other. That would have had a powerful message. Also it would have shown Acxa she is not alone. And it’s not cause she’s found a race of people that are similar to her and therefore except her, its cause people care about her and want to treat her as a friend and family.  

5) KEITH

Short and simple. In Keith’s fight with Shiro’s clone he got pointy teeth and yellow eyes. PLEASE EXPAND! I thought we were gonna get it again when Zethrid was fighting Keith. Maybe have the features permanent this time. But no…

It would have been cool a nod to Keith half breed status. If he learned to control his Galra features so he could use them in a fight. Also I love the idea of Keith being able to see better in the dark and utilising that skill to sneak into the kitchen at night.

6) HUNK SHOULD BE AN AMBASSADOR

Hunk finishes as a chief. Okay. Fine. Not great. You know what this season did show. He is great at building bridges between opposing people. He wants peace and has a pretty unbiased opinion as long as it all ends happy for everyone. Pidge says in the game show episode he’s the only to bring people together, lets show that outside of his kitchen skills.

So take his character development further! Have him be an Ambassador of Earth! and King of Peace Treaties! Shiro, Keith, Allura are all leaders in war. Hunk is a leader needed in peace.

7) SHIRO AND THE ALTAS

Okay, they should have taken an episode to explain why on earth Shiro was able to control and transform the Atlas. They said no one could pilot it but Shiro could. So take the time to explain why?

And there’s a pretty obvious answer. It’s cause he spent so much time in the Black Lion’s void. But what are the consequence of this? Can he interact with quintessence more? Can he manipulate it? Does he have a bond with the Atlas like he did with the Black Lion? (In my heart of hearts I wish there was a White Lion like there was theorised) Is he an alchemist like Allura?

Come on, Shiro understanding his new powers and maybe being the first ever human Alchemist/Druid is a cool story line.

Also, while he’s freaking out over this. why not introduce his future husband ! The guy who becomes his rock. His stability. The one that just sees Shiro as Shiro, who doesn’t have any past perceptions of him. Instead of idealising Shiro as their childhood hero, like the rest of the paladins did, let this new guy just like Shiro for himself. Then progress the relationship.

This would have made the last scene more meaningful rather then just throwing a meaningless LGBTQ moment to ‘appease the fans’. Its more offending when they do throw aways like that then actually taking the time to explore and build a relationship.

…I have other points but I’m gonna do that in a second post cause honestly its gonna be a long one. So stay tuned of my therapeutic rant of Voltron Season 8. It was fine but it could have been great!
