The End Is the Beginning

This episode, much like the season, was lousy. I don't quite understand why the writers felt that this was the best way to end the series, but it pulled a Harry Potter epilogue

But it's definitely Voltron's weakest so far and I'm very not fond of season 4. Throughout the entirety of season 8 it felt like I was watching a different show and the finale further cements this.

There was simply nothing redeeming about this season, but in particular about this episode.

Its pacing was off, it was rushed, holes were never filled in, the characters were barely friends, and the staff and cast has already said that this season was edited. Anyone who has eyeballs can see that this season was edited, but you can especially see it in the poor animation quality in this episode. The fact that they forgot to name the random husband, instead having the audio description call him "Adam" Shiro's dead ex-boyfriend is... telling.

Voltron didn't care about their ending so neither do I.

Thank you, World Events and DreamWorks, for destroying a great story.

I cried like never before. This is so sad ending in one way, and very fulfilling in other way. Animation in this episode was God tier. Whole ending is on point, just not what fandom wanted and expected. Ratings of the whole season is not objective, because most of fans gave 1 stars just because of ending. This was a great show and for now best cartoon I ever watched, with ATLA!
