After seeing the promos and commercials of Avengers Endgame movie, I became excited, anxious and frightened at the same time. And those damn spoilers before the movie comes out on April 26 are causing us to get paranoid and emotional in any sort of way and I don’t like it one bit. To those who wanna spoil the movie that caused us to get in our feelings, just don’t.
While not getting my hopes up on Romanogers being canon in the movie, I want Romanogers to be canon because of what happened on Thundercats 2011 and Voltron Legendary Defender because of what happened on that dreaded season 8. Lion-O didn’t end up with Cheetara and Keith and Princess Allura didn’t end up together when she died. So that’s two strikes for me. If Romanogers isn’t canon in the end of the movie, then it’s strike 3 for me. Which means that I’ll admit defeat as a Romanogers shipper. So see y’all when the movie comes out. Peace!
Ever since I watched the 7th season of Voltron Legendary Defender, I’ve been thinking about Kallura while hoping that they would develop and improve their relationship and hoping that Keith and Allura would kiss each other in the lips in the end despite the creators and writers pushing for Allurance but I need to be completely honest with you. The main reason why I wanted Kallura to be canon because of what happened with the Thundercats 2011.
On that show, I wanted Lion-O and Cheetara to be canon but instead the creators put her with Tygra in the end. That’s where the show went downhill and the characters suffered character assassinations after the other with Pumyra betraying Lion-O in the end which led to show’s fatal demise. After hearing about what the creators had in store for season 2, I didn’t like it one bit and it left a bad taste in my mouth. Which is why I’m planning to write a fanfic about my take on season 2.
After watching VLD, I was hoping that it would different as so far it lived up to my expectation until Keith left the team on season 4. I only watched seasons 4 and 5 once and never watched them again until Keith came back in season 6 as the Paladin of the Black Lion. I’ve watched season 7 and despite some of the Kallura moments, the creators pushed hard for Allurance and I’ve suffered for it because I desperately wanted Keith and Allura to be romantic and hopefully he’ll give her a wholehearted apology for all the mean things he said to her about Alfor and Lotor. While at the same time, I’ve maintained the fact that fighting and bullying people over ships can only make things worse, which is why I refuse to bash over ships while hoping and praying that Kallura will be canon like all the Voltron incarnations in the past, like it’s a tradition.
So I’ll tell you what. If Kallura is canon on VLD, I’ll be happy. If not, me and my fellow Kallura shippers will admit defeat and tell the world that we’ve done our best. That’s all I can say for now. And promise you that none of us fans will survive season 8.
