Season 4 by Mischief Maker 11/12/2017, 9:29am PST
Frustrating! I thought in Season 3 the show was finally hitting its stride. Allura stopped being an impossibly perfect mary sue pulling brand new superpowers out of her ass every other scene, and started showing character flaws and depth. Boring Shiro was replaced as leader by Keith, the only Voltron pilot who shows any initiative. Lance was still a comic relief waste of space but at least he stopped being a liability to the team. Lotor was a really interesting new adversary following his own hidden plans to build an evil Voltron of his own, complete with a motley crew of half-galra pilots to join him. Things were really looking up...

...then season 4 happened. Is there some sort of backstabbing rivalry going on among that show's writing staff? Season 4 seemed devoted to nothing but nullifying season 3. Allura's back to saving the day with mary sue deus ex machina. Keith straight up abandons the team and boring Shiro is back as leader. Zarkon's back in command like nothing happened. And Lotor's mysterious plan we've been building up to all season 3? It fucking goes fizzle, then he murders/is betrayed by his own team, and it all ends on a deeply unsatisfying note. At least they kept Lance's mouth shut most of the season.

Is it too much to ask that you actually fire all the Chekhov's guns your story sets up? That's one thing Stranger Things season 2 got right.
