Why You Need To Watch The Final Season Of Voltron: Legendary Defender

Why You Need To Watch The Final Season Of Voltron: Legendary Defender

Dreamworks Animation

Well, seven seasons later and now we wait for the last few days until the end of Voltron: Legendary Defender in its entirety. After the Season 8 trailer dropped, ominously and gloriously, fans rallied from far and wide to mourn the loss of a great show... and to debate it.

Will Haggar transform back intoHonerva? Will Lotor return? Who was the mysterious Altean in the last episode of season 7? Will Keith and Lance get together? Lance and Allura, etc.? Where did all the Alteans that Lotor was hiding from Zarkon go? Are the MFE pilots the next Paladins of Voltron?

Voltron came onto my radar in 2017 after the second season was released on Netflix. To be honest, I found out about the show from Tumblr and was skeptical at first, but it's become one of my favorite animated TV shows.

The first reason I watched it was because Lauren Montgomery and Joaquim Dos Santos were named as showrunnersand are well known for their work on both Avatar: The Last Airbender and its sequel, The Legend of Korraas storyboard artist and producer. Second, I fell in love with the animation but, well, how could you not? And lastly, the characters. With a great team, great artists, and a great cast of characters (Like Jeremy Shada who also played Finn in Adventure Time, and Steven Yeun who plays Glenn in The Walking Dead) and an awesome plot.

Voltron follows the plot of the original show from the '80s by the same name. It follows a group of teens into space to defend the universe from alien tyranny by using a giant crime-fighting robot made of robot lions. I know, it's awesome. I'd heard of and seen a few episodes of the '80s version of Voltron and I can say that this reboot is one for the record books. A job well done. Well, it's been a good seven seasons, and now the last has come upon us.

I'm interested to see what other shenanigans the Paladins have in store for us in Season 8, especially since Allura's last line in the trailer states, "This is our only chance to save all of existence."

So, why should you watch the final season of Voltron: Legendary Defender? Guess you'll have to watch the first six seasons to find out?

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
