Voltron Season 2 (Review)

Season 2 is a season that did better in terms of creating complexity for the characters. Allura’s whole arc with Keith had me on edge the whole time and I was mad at her even though I understood but I also just really wanted their friendship to work out. That hug! Omg, that hug! Season 2 was good for the hugs. Broganes and Kallura hugs all in one season. It is a better season than 1 just cause of that alone.

In a world where everyone is about Klance or Sheith, my little heart melted from the platonic and wonderful Broganes. The unconditional love and support between the brothers in their toughest moments – Shiro in the first episode and Keith finding out he was Galra and dealing with that. They truly were there in each other’s worst moments, which was beautiful.

Also, this season converted me to Kallura. They are not picture perfect but they help each other grow and omg I love that. Allura naturally has a lot of prejudice towards the Galra and Keith helps her not only question that but face her demons regarding this and open up, it was so cute! I loved it and did I mention the hug? I loved the hug they shared. Keith definitely starts to grow on me this season, its still not my favourite characterisation of him as he’s still a bit too hot-headed and rough around the edges, but he definitely grows on me more here.

Another character that became my favourite – started to in season 1 but more so in season 2 was the Black Lion. Yeah, she’s not a Paladin but I love the depth and complexity that was given to abuse. Her going back to Zarkon, allowing him to find them, wanting to go back to what was familiar is so true to abuse and I loved that. It was incredibly sad but also, so true! I’ve seen so many people leave relationships because they were toxic and come back to them. I’ve done the same with friendships and I feel Black’s pain. Even when we realise someone is toxic, its not as easy to leave them as one thinks. There are memories and attachments and it takes a lot of self-compassion and self-love. Something I am still learning and something Black had to learn too, with everyone’s help because she had the right friends or at least made them.

I loved the foreshadowing of her and Keith’s bond too. There were a lot of good individual episodes in this season and this season was definitely an improvement over season 1. I am not a big fan of monster of the week, episodic type of episodes but these ones I feel added to the show a lot so I can rewatch my favourites in this season at least. Like Pidge gaining new abilities as well as Hunk. Lance and Keith using Fire and Ice more often was nice to see especially in smaller moments like the cube reflecting Blue’s ice attack back on Lance and Keith/Red helping out.

The final battle with Zarkon was also intense. His obsession with Black was so typical of an abuser who doesn’t want to lose control and the end to that battle. Poor Shiro. Gave me chills to be honest because we don’t know whether Shiro is dead at this point or just missing. Very amazing end to the season.

Favourite characters this season is hard because they all had good moments but I suppose Keith and Allura stood out the most, their combined arc was amazing to me and it really increased my respect for Keith. He was so patient with Allura! It was awesome.
