>>94147818Oh, by set up I meant the stuff they built up in the previous seasons, especially s2. The lion bonding being important to be a good pilot, Allura discovering her powers, Red being protective of Keith and not just accepting any pilot, Black's deal with Zarkon that Shiro solved in that badass fight... I can keep going, but I think you get my point.
The narration was going a different direction. I know the show must adapt the old canon but that doesn't mean they don't need to be consistent with what they're already presented, otherwise is just lazy writing.
Like I said though I'm giving them the benefit of the doubts, since Shiro is coming back, this may be a test drive. I won't mind Blue!Allura and Red!Lance as long as they acknowledge and develop what they already wrote.
If Lance just jumps easily into Red and they form Voltron just like that though... that will just be dumb.
