The last two seasons are a disappointment. Voltron's biggest weakness is that the plot drives the characters and not the other way around, which sadly makes for a rather sterile watch at times. This is further exacerbated by the last two seasons (I assume due to the writers and directors changeup). It felt meaningless to watch near the end because the main characters felt like a 13 year old's 'fanfiction' caricatures of what they have been established as in previous seasons. Voltron peaked in season 6 which highlighted its strength in characters like Keith, Shiro, Allura and Lotor, and unfortunately the final season did a disservice to all four of them.
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.
Avatar is still, until today, the best cartoon I've ever seen. Stunning animation, amazing soundtrack -- who here loves Agni Kai?! -- and great character arcs. Everyone in the main cast got enough time in the spotlight to shine but not too much to overshadow the main plot and focus of the story being Aang's fight to save the world from another Fire Nation destruction. I'm in love with the characters, the world building and the overall 'soul' this series has.
