We'll se what happens. Somehow Shiro will disappear so that Keith can become leader and Allura can pilot a lion, that's pretty much a given considering the source material they're very open about paying homage to. I think he'll be out of the core team for good. How that happens will become clear as we get more seasons.

da

They're also very open about the fact that they're not sticking super close to the source material, and made sure to tell the viewers that just because something happens in the original, that doesn't mean you can be sure it will happen in VLD. They want to keep the audience on their toes, and that S2 trailer felt like a massive red herring to me. As you said, they're paying homage to the source material rather than just making the same show but with updated animation and designs.

They've also said that they're making the Voltron they remember, not the Voltron that actually was. And one of them said in an interview that he remembered Sven as being the leader before was "sent to the hospital planet". And now Shiro is the leader. Hmmm...

I don't know, anon. They've put too much weight in interviews on Shiro seeing leadership qualities in Keith, and so many people want Allura to get a lion that I don't think they'll want to disappoint their audience. It would make more sense to me if Allura got the black lion, though, with her being a strong and compassionate leader and everything and Keith not knowing How To People.

The way I see it, Shiro will be be "sent to the hospital planet" too, it just won't be permanent. Allura piloting a lion can't be a constant thing anyway because she has to be the one piloting the castle as the only living member of the Altean royal family - unless they somehow find another survivor who could take her place. And I don't really understand why people would rather see Allura demoted from the de facto leader to piloting one of the lions, especially since she wouldn't even get to be the head.

[(Anonymous)]

Correction: Coran can pilot the castle, Allura just has to charge it up with her energy so they can create worm holes. See the last episode of S1 for that, when they had just enough left to create one more worm hole.

But I agree with you, Allura is plenty awesome in the position she's in now. If she was in a lion, she wouldn't be able to do cool things like saving the Balmera. Because seriously, her part in that episode was much cooler than the Paladins going "Form Voltron!" "Split up!" Form Voltron again!"

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, that's what I meant when I said Allura has to be the one piloting the castle - obviously Coran can pilot it too, we've seen him do it, but without the ability to create wormholes they're at a major disadvantage, so they need Allura there (unless she just keeps hopping between her lion and the castle but that probably wouldn't work very well).

[(Anonymous)]

I imagine she'd still spend time at the castle bridge. The Paladins spend their down time in the castle, after all.

[(Anonymous)]

Sure, but we don't know how long whatever remains of her essence would last - they only had enough of it to make one jump without her in episode 11, and it's not like she can just hop back inside the castle to "recharge" it or to create the wormhole herself while in the middle of a mission inside Voltron. My point is that they wouldn't have made such a big deal of needing Allura in the castle because of her ability to create wormholes if they planned to permanently make her a pilot of one of the lions.

[(Anonymous)]

Hmm... maybe. It just makes me wonder what they'll do about forming Voltron when Shiro is gone. Which I'm convinced he will be, for a while at least. Voltron won't be Voltron if an entire season goes by without him making an appearance.

[(Anonymous)]

It's not just Shiro being gone, we know the paladins are separated at the beginning of S2 and discover some new worlds/planets, and I doubt they're going to reunite right away, so I wouldn't be surprised if it takes several episodes for them to form Voltron again. And I'm not completely dismissing the idea of Allura piloting one of the lions - I could definitely see her doing it while Shiro is gone and they need to form Voltron - I just don't think it will be a permanent fixture based on what they established her character to be in VLD.

[(Anonymous)]

I shudder to think what the fandom reaction would be if Shiro came back and reclaimed his spot as a Paladin. "Racist!" "Misogynist!" "Everything that matters is white coded cock as always!" etc. etc.

[(Anonymous)]

"White coded cock"?? Shiro is Japanese, not white.

[(Anonymous)]

White coded, not actually white.
