so many people are saying that allura not wanting to leave lotor in the rift means that she still has feelings for him and still loves him. but don’t you think that’s more indicative of her unwillingness to end other people’s lives as opposed to her still crushing on the guy who finished off killing the rest of her people?
the fact that allura passed the trials of oriande and lotor didn’t meant that allura was worthy of being a “life giver” whereas lotor wasn’t, which makes sense considering that lotor was justifying genocide and allura saved both shiro and lance this season and was hesitant to let even the subject of her scorn perish by her hand.
like let’s give some credit to her character and to her accomplishments as an altean alchemist as opposed to saying she still has feelings for a power-hungry murderer.
Yeah actually people do get angry when someone they’re trying to control rejects their advances that’s not just when they have unreciprocated feelings for them but that’s a.. lukewarm at best take on Lotor’s opinion of Allura
Just accept Lotor is evil and move on
I guess I just didn’t like the feel of a redemption arc at all. It didn’t fit.
You guys realize Lotor’s betrayal was planned probably for most of his development right like have you read one damn interview? It was also obvious as shit like there’s no “poorly handled” that’s literally what his fucking character is there for like there can’t be a “handled badly” when there was probably at least an idea of this back when he was INTRODUCED.
The show is planned, at least vaguely, to completion, and has been for a while. They planned for that.
Also seriously you guys how did you not pick up on the fact he wasn’t genuine? Maybe it was just me but it really didn’t feel right and honestly you can hear the manipulation in his tone and he’s been a “I’ll take what I need to to get to my goal, even if it takes manipulation” type guy/villain from the beginning like none of this is truly surprising
And.. guys. He’s a well written villain. He’s one of the truly insidious villains. Honestly? A bit like Thanos. The goal is respectable enough, but the method is beyond questionable.
It’s just not surprising and honestly fits and works very well.
this one line says so much about keith’s beliefs and personal codex
this is the guy who was stranded in the wild for two years, who’s heard all sorts of horrifying stories about lotor’s past. two years he’s known the truth about lotor’s cruel plans, spent time with an altean whose family was taken away from her – and here, in the heat of battle, keith’s first instinct is to take lotor with them.
and allura?
she’s the one who was used by lotor to create sincline, the one who’s spent the most time with him out of all the paladins, only to ultimately find out that he’s been pursuing his own agenda all along. she has so many reasons to despise lotor’s guts, and yet here she is, concerned for his life.
these two are incredible.
this is not the face of someone who’s happy to witness their enemy’s downfall.
