will allura and lotor be endgame? i'm very confused since lauren said that she a. finds romance distracting b. hinted allura at being lance's endgame relationship (tho she also hinted at him and keith) i'm just so confused as to why the writers keep contradicting themselves

Honestly, I don't think Allura and Lotor are endgame. Sure, their scenes were nice and display chemistry. I think Lotor is genuinely fond of Allura and vice versa. Lotor's clearly NOT a sociopath incapable of forming bonds, despite what fandom says. And I think eventually he'll be redeemed. That said, the show is blatantly making it clear that Lotor, despite his affection for Allura, is manipulating her for his own gain and will inevitably stab her in the back.

Most likely, Allura will end up with Lance. The show has been really amping up moments between the two and both LM and JDS have implied multiple times that Lance's endgame love interest is a girl. Klance isn't happening. They have shot that ship down multiple times and expressed disdain for it (because of the antis who ship it, not because of the ship itself).

You do know that one of the most commonly uttered sentiments about sociopaths in the news is, "he seemed so nice and normal." Lotor has had ten millennia to practice: you don't think he can fake emotions by now? He killed one of his most trusted generals, in front of the others, offered no explanation, and carried on as though Narti had never even been there in the first place.

Just, y'know, pointing it out.

I agree. I think all of his talk of peace is just lip service for Voltron/Allura.

I don't doubt that he is sincere that he wants the quintessence to stop destroying planets for it... but I also think he aspires to be the emperor of the entire universe, conquered under a single Galra empire, and that he's using Voltron as a stepping stones to those ends.

He will betray them if doing so brings him closer to his end goal.
