lance: alright keith. this is our moment of truth. this is what we’ve been training for. this is our everest. this is our destiny. and we will not fail. are. you. ready?
keith: (nods determinedly)
lance: hunk, are you prepared to serve as our witness?
Okay so, I’ve read tons of posts and to be honest? I wouldn’t be all that surprised if Black Paladin Lance is end game. It makes total sense from a character arc development standpoint and I feel like it’s been hinted at from the very beginning. I mean, hello? Lance is literally the one who brought the team together. It doesn’t…get more obvious than that.
And trust me, I’m super happy for Lance. In fact, if/when it happens, you probably won’t ever get me to shut up about it. But I just kinda wanted to focus on a detail that occurred to me after the train of thought that Black Paladin Lance:
If Lance becomes the Black Paladin, who’s going to be piloting Red probably? Keith. So what does that mean?
Now Keith is gonna be Lance’s right hand man
Now, hear me out, I don’t mean this in a Klance way (of course it can totally mean that if you want to go nuts) but in what this means for Keith’s character. And yes, I hear you, let’s not make this “all about Keith”. That’s not what I’m intending from this post, trust me, if Voltron wanted to make everything about Lance from now on you definitely wouldn’t be hearing me complain (lol)
It’s just. Can you imagine what this development means for Keith’s resolution to his character arc and growth?
Stick with me here, because I’m going to do some deep character analysis on why I think this is the perfect end to Keith’s arc and that, if this really does play out like how I think it will, I couldn’t be happier with the writers/creators.
Hc that Lance went with his sister to her aerial silks classes and loved how pretty the different forms and movements were so he joined the classes with her and that’s how he spent time bonding with his sister.
