:: Last couple of weeks, I’ve been updated you on the #FreeVLDS8 media campaign
:: Understandably, there are misunderstandings, misinformation, myths and rumors going around about what the #FREEVLDS8 movement or petition is about. I’ll clear that up as best I can. I will answer…
- This is about shipping/you’re mad your ship isn’t canon.
- You’re doing this for a secret ending that does not exist.
- You’re just upset you didn’t get the ending you wanted.
- This is what the Writers/Showrunners always wanted
- There was no editing to the season.
- What if the original story was actually worse than what we received?
Edit: I’m taking calls since DreamWorks Animation Studios has shut out many people’s complaints about Season 8. Feel free to call our number and I’ll respond and play your thoughts on a podcast so your voice will be heard. Feel free to email me as well and when you call or email, leave your name and where you’re from! If you’d like an interview, leave your number and/or an email and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

How the End of ‘Voltron Legendary Defender’ Exemplifies the Quarantining of Queerness in Animation by Sean Z | GeekDad

Sean Z on listening to Queer Voices:
I recently heard a group of straight media critics discuss queer representation. They did not invite a queer guest on to their program, nor did they attempt to engage queer critics who had spoken on the same topic.

Taekwonsonen, animator at Studio Mir:
볼트론 엔딩까지보고 순수하게 잘만들었고 너무 좋다고 이야기하는 팬과 이야기를 해보니 진짜 그렇게 욕을 먹을만한 이야기였는지, 엔딩이였는지. 다시 냉정하게 생각해보게 됐다.

Aria’s thoughts on Voltron’s writings, which was the most well rounded Season in their opinion and experience as an intern at DreamWorks Animation:
Barlee: They did what they could to patch it up
That's the thing, ultimately the story is incomplete and I don't know what the final result is. I'm not allowed to talk about much, but all I can say is, much like the rest of the story, they didnt get to do everything the way they planned. They did what they could to patch it up
