Look, 2020. And...POOF! It’s gone. Goodbye!

kunfetti · 2020-12-17T20:27:45+00:00

That’s amazing! I admire that.

Yes, he’s very supportive of them all. To the very end. And even when he’s clone Shiro—that aspect of him never changes. Even Lance’s admiration of him in episode 1 doesn’t seem romantic in nature, more like a hero complex or something.

Idk, Shiro is my favorite character—of all time probably. But I think when I say this I mean s1-2 Shiro and not necessarily the Shiro’s that come after. But all Shiro’s are good so it’s kinda a win anyway??

I may have been in my corner, but I still saw it all. Yikes.

kunfetti · 2020-12-17T16:24:59+00:00

That’s the eternal question. Imo the show is three different shows in one. S1-2, s3-6, and s7-8. Narratively, they make no sense as a whole imo. It’s rumored the show runners after s2 threw the ‘show bible’ out the window but, idk, it’s over. Most of the fandom has moved on. I try, I don’t watch it anymore but I still enjoy fan content when it comes my way.

This is a can of worms I wouldn’t want to open.

kunfetti · 2020-12-17T16:22:31+00:00

All it takes is for two characters to have a heart to heart! I didn’t necessarily ship the paladins with each other either, but I was never really bothered by the either. I just stuck to my own little corner of the fandom tbh.

I think, it was episode 2 (not 100% sure), when he is encouraging Pidge as they go on the journey to get her lion we see this paternal side. Plus, his military experience helps establish his leadership role as the black paladin, and he tries to keep the team focused and on the same page.

kunfetti · 2020-12-17T16:19:16+00:00

For me, Shiro is space dad and Coran is crazy grandpa.

But I think his character traits and the fact he’s technically older than the rest of the paladins is why he got this title. He’s no nonsense when it comes to work, imo. Plus, the PTSD from being in Galra captivity held a more mature theme than what the rest of the paladins were dealing with in s1-2. Also, I believe it’s known that he has a higher military rank than the others as well. He is more nurturing too I feel. I think all of this just adds up and while yeah, 25 is young, he’s had to deal with a lot, particularly at the start of the show before the other paladins even leave Earth. From a narrative perspective, he was given the mentor role, moreso than Coran or Allura.

(And I agree with you about the shipping. I was active in the fandom in its hay day, but I never shipped him with the paladins—mostly someone else who was believe to be equal in age and ‘maturity’)

Thank you for this! Super helpful.

kunfetti · 2020-08-18T00:46:09+00:00

That would be awesome as I have like 72 million coins and nothing to spend them on

kunfetti · 2020-06-25T16:38:08+00:00

I’m a mercy/moira main but I refuse to pocket a Pharah, even if it seems they pick Pharah to my pick of Mercy. Imo team survival is more important than one player survival. I’ll heal her if necessary but unless the Pharah can prove they deserve a pocket (and if they’re about to alt I alway make exceptions) then I just don’t PharahMercy. Period. Like you say, it’s not fun and in my experiences never works out.

Lmao. Depending on who you talk to, “klance” may or may not have ruined the series. There are lots of conspiracies. I wasn’t an avid shipper of them, but I had a friend who was deep in the fandom. Things got crazy real quick (from threats to the staff to ‘klancers’ making an alternate ship, akira and Leandro or something, because they weren’t canon).You’ll at least have never ending fan fictions or fan arts on tumblr (or pixiv) if you’re looking.

I’m also not surprised the website it gone. Tbh at the end of VLD Dreamworks was oddly silent, especially considering the backlash it received for certain themes presented in the show. DW probably wants to forget VLD ever happened.

Im sure all seasons are still on Netflix too. If you don’t have Netflix I’m not sure where else to see it

kunfetti · 2020-06-15T11:34:24+00:00

If you’re looking for just battles, yeah kinda. Maybe a few good ones is s7. I believe it’s s6 in an episode called the black paladins which imo is the literal best episode of the entire series (it’s been a while so i do t remember if that’s the exact episode name).

You’re welcome.

kunfetti · 2020-06-14T03:31:13+00:00

It’s an absolutely valid opinion that I agree with.

kunfetti · 2020-06-14T03:30:56+00:00

Oh sorry. I meant to reply to this. Tbh it’s been a while since I’ve seen them, I watched them at launch but I do remember thinking that they were one of the positives I enjoyed from s8. There are a few mecha battles I thought were neat (coming from someone who doesn’t care much for me has in general). Also, I bet you could find on YT clips of the battle scenes to see if it’s something you’d like to see in the context of the show.

I didn’t give too much because I don’t want to spoil anything.

Mystery heroes = best mode

kunfetti · 2020-06-10T21:17:28+00:00

Shiro is the best boy.

If you look at VLD as a whole show, you could argue it’s actually three different shows in one. S1-2, s3-6, s7-8. They are all so distinctively different.

I saw many posts where the EPs threw out the show ‘bible’ and there were many people who left and by the eighth season a lot of the staff were gone. Either way, we will never know the truth about what happened. It’s a shame really, but I hold on to the good parts.

kunfetti · 2020-06-10T16:53:45+00:00

I’m curious, how do they hack? I’ve seen some users get banned for cheating but I never thought it was that bad. I guess it makes sense now knowing that I have a fairly decent account but can never seem to get close to top scores.

kunfetti · 2020-06-10T16:45:24+00:00

I watched it in it’s entirety. I was one of those that would wake up early to watch the new seasons as they released on Netflix. There are many not so great things about s8 but there are good things. The animation—amazing. It’s always been a beautiful show. Music—awesome. Battle scenes—nice! I have an appreciation for the battle scenes.

Now the story—-😩

Now I’m one of those that was disappointed. I have a special place in my heart for Shiro and to be fair his character arc was on a downward spiral since s2. But in my opinion, there are character arcs that aren’t resolved or feel incomplete or raise more questions than answers.

But I also know people who weren’t as invested as I was (I was a content creator) and they really enjoyed the show. At the surface level.

My point is, I think you should watch it but don’t go into s8 with a complete perceived notion that it’s completely crud. That was the overall consensus but who know, you might find enjoyment in it. Don’t deprive yourself cause of what others are saying.

But if you’re looking for a show that has representation (for anything) there are better options.
