What were the creators reason to kill Allura? (Legendary defender)
I just finished rewatching the show. The last time when I watched it I were 16 years old maybe? I am 21 now.
It was not as good as I remembered but I am still love this cartoon and I don't think season 7-8 are terrible. I loved a lot of about those seasons too. I think the change in the tone was good for the show.
Allura is my favourite character after Lance, I think she is good written and that is why I do not understand the reason of her death in the end. Allura went through the most 5h1t on that war and do not let her experience the peace what it came after is cruel.
I have read it by fans that Voltron should have been sacrificed and it is hard to not agree with that. No matter how much we might deny it, Voltron is a war machine and sacrificing it would have been not just logical but symbolic too. By combining with the Atlas spacecraft and even use Honerva's mech, I am certain they would have generated enough energy to save all universes. If the lions are leaving their paladins anyways than sacrificing them is the more reasonable choice.
And the other thing... I were rooting for Lance and Allura from the beginning to be a couple because I like their trope. I were glad when they finally became in season 8 and that is the main reason for me why is the ending hurts me so much. As far as I see the only reason the writers left this for the last season is because to make the ending more heartbreaking and they succeed with it 😡😭.
