What time is that

[@user-vh9ee5hl4m]

Jeremy:*opens mouth* Lauren:*tRiGgErEd*

[@datstick9402]

irrelevant Person 💀💀💀

[@notmaddieberg8909]

Lauren: BaCk tO tHe bAsEmEnT

[@unzack]

the people who don't hate on each other for liking a ship are queens bless y'all keep it positive

[@spirals5159]

Molly Arata multishipers for the win!

[@kennycorral1148]

normal discourse is something like heith against klance, two healthy ships and it's stupid to fight over them because they're both okay. ships like shaladin are age discourse over if it's okay for a father figure to date minors when the relationship will clearly have a power imbalance

[@theberrby6836]

Molly Arata Yay :3

[@matthias8122]

Molly Arata Let me tell you, once you pass 20 years old, if you're still going to "war" over fictional relationships, you need to get your shit together.

[@ClurBy938]

YESH!! Positivity y'all!!! ❤️💞❤️💞

[@coreyjames7047]

"Keith's arc" Keith: "mom?"

[@AkiraN19]

"Someone asked about color symbolism in this show." **A SUBTLE WAY TO ASK ABOUT LANCE'S BI FLAG COLOR SCHEME**

[@clmcoclmco2222]

The answer had nothing to do with a bi flag. She said she uses colors to set a mood. She said nothing about hinting at lance being bi ect...... Why don't you people just force the writers to say one way or the other instead of queerbaiting you with vague answers. I hate that crap. Just say Yes he is gay/bi or no he is not but we will have a bi side character. I mean what is so damn hard for these writers to say the sexual orientation of a character. How can you write a character if you are not commited to the basic foundation of what a character is. Male or Female, straight or gay/bi. You people who want it should DEMAND an answer so you aren't queerbaited.

[@seeh7775]

YES THANKS

[@isa-belva]

THEY PLAYED IT SMART GOOD JOB

[@hobabbi2887]

IKR BLESS THEM

[@vioviovioletprime2792]

Explain please?

[@christensummers9641]

Lauren ready to snipe Jeremy at a moments notice lol

[@emilycalderon6784]

“I would like to see where shiro goes” Me: “I would like to see where shiro went”

[@STARZ13_]

Is anybody else looking at Lauren every time Jeremy speaks?

[@fukshit4145]

Morgan Clark She’s getting ready to throw him in the basement.

[@katrina_SJD]

She made sure to speak before him about black paladin Lance as well

[@Egsibsy-cf9qp]

I love how Lauren is watching over their shoulders and is ready to interrupt them if they say too much

[@mossybandit]

"color symbolism" "whatever ship we're in" "im a little BI-ased" ITS HAP P E N I N G

[@yennxo]

spork OMG WHICH PART

[@anong8959]

FUCK I GOTTA GET MY DISAPOINTMENT SACK READY

[@bishop2600]

Cuban Sharpshooter™ they’re different parts. The biased part comes from Jeremy saying he’s biased on being the Paladin of the Black Lion. Colour symbolism was a question. And whatever ship they’re in was the design person saying “whatever ship we’re in sets the episodes’ mood” or something along those lines.

[@ramestice]

SCREEEEE

[@aidenkiii]

“I’m a little *BI-ased* for it” gUYS IT’S HAPPENING-

[@Leogclark]

you can see Lauren dying a little inside everytime Jeremy talks

[@jeschong1972]

When they get back she gonna throw him into the basement

[@agrace_276]

HE SAID LANCEY LANCE IM DED

[@HoneySyrups]

Me, before watching this video: idk maybe Keith in season 6. Character development, maybe? Possibly? Please... Me, after watching this video, now an intellectual: *Season 6 Keith.*

[@anonymousfellow8879]

S5 Spoiler: --------------Also...Shiro finally being free of Haggar’s mind control (which I swear they’ve been hinting at since the first season...and if that wasn’t enough, they’ve played around with the whole Mind Hacking idea in various ways since literally the first episode by introducing Alfor’s AI as a character...where as cloning? Not even once, despite mentions of torture and implant experimentation). I just hope that once he’s free he can still continue to fly Black, but...the dude’s basically past the need for a vacation long enough to last three lifetimes at this point. Oh, and #StillShiro , y’all (...I’ll make that counter-tag stick yet)

[@ClurBy938]

ami SAME THO

[@graveyardgeese2984]

S a m e

[@oneangryboi408]

"Might take several episodes to answer." Yeah, like 6.

[@dorianpavus9030]

Does that mean Hunk will get a ton of love ??

[@saintb-rnard]

not only hunk but also reAL SHIRO1?!??/111!??//

[@pinkred22]

I REALLY HOPE SO

[@HoneySyrups]

All I want for Season 6 is Hunk getting the love and care he deserves.

[@cheesecakeknight5862]

And let's hope Coran too. There's a huge story for him that we don't know about. That poster of King Alfor has a story behind Coran, but we don't know it.

[@ramestice]

FINALLY, THE CINNAMON ROLL SHALL GET THE LOVE HE DESERVES

[@rshinsii]

We’re at 44 episodes and Voltron stops at 78. WE GOOD.

[@loganforrest345]

Cosmoetic __. Yeah, we are good

[@nightfall598]

Cosmoetic __. I was about to measure how many episodes but I’m afraid. 😂

[@iskierkacest]

I saw the patric picture and somehow had to read 'WE GOOD' in his voice😅😅i havent even watched spongebog as a kid

[@isa-belva]

I laugh everytime Lauren seems to swoop in immediately with an answer to a spoiler-y question before Jeremy can say anything. She's so ready.

[@thefandomfish3071]

I WANT HUNK TO HAVE, LIKE, LITERALLY ANY DEVELOPMENT AT ALL, LIKE I’M DESPERATE AT THIS POINT, LIKE, DOES HE EVEN HAVE PARENTS,,,

[@daalimbe]

TheFandomFish HE MENTIONED A MOM!! FIVE SEASONS FOR A MOM!! TEN MORE BEFORE WE FIND OUT ANYTHING ELSE!!! ENOUGH DEVELOPMENT!!

[@octotanimation]

Thankyou!! It seems like he's just a side character at this point like I'm so glad Lance got some development this season but now it's so clear hunk hasn't had any!

[@HamiltonIsLife]

I’m offended by the lack of cheering

[@islagrace9179]

Same

[@_kdawg_]

Whatever *SHIP* we’re in

[@lostonvenus5393]

lol that's what I was thinking

[@rowanwatts3936]

wait you know what jeremy was saying about if a character isn't getting screen time and development? does this mean at the end we'll yet A QUIZNAC LOAD OF HUNK?!!!

[@coffeebreak5367]

Rowan Watts Yes

[@lunecakes]

Jeremy Shada, the Captain of This Ship

[@isa-belva]

"Towering above us all." OH-HOHO YEAH, JEREMY, YOU BETTER WATCH OUT

[@matthias8122]

"He is a big part of our show"... and his actor never comes to panels, lol.

[@heatherkahn7060]

Meghan His actor is working on quite a few things so he has very little time for stuff like this.

[@eilidhjohnson5694]

My favourite thing about watching these interviews is that you can understand why fans have asked certain questions for example the colour symbolism one was probably referencing the bi flag background Lance thing 😂

[@atticcouch]

*talking bout a musical episode” iT waS JUsT fOr fUN

[@nayantarasen857]

OKAY SO LIKE HUNK WILL GET HIS OWN ARC?

[@ramestice]

YES THAT'L BE GREAT

[@jinh3976]

I SWEAR I TOUGHT HE ASKED ABOUT LANCE BI COLOR KILL ME

[@mollymarshmallow3072]

Shahed Kurdi Same 😭

[@loganforrest345]

Exactly😭

[@beanbinary]

I'm just going to say that I think the creators are doing a very good job in developing this show- especially given all of the restrictions they face. They have to balance plot development, character development, drama/action/comedy levels, and so much more in a twenty minute time frame per episode- and a 2 to 2 1/2 minute frame per season. They also have to be able to connect with a variety of audiences, from adults and fans of the original to small kids. AND to put the cherry on top, they have been extremely inclusive of ethnic and gender difference, (not to mention there appears to be a lot of subtle commentary on racism infused in the show) which is extraordinary. With all that they've been able to accomplish so far (not to mention the gorgeous animation, visuals, and voice acting), I'd say the show is really doing a fantastic job. Truly, I'm very impressed. Go team Voltron! (Even further, I have to say that the rate at which they are releasing content is pretty wise on their part. It's frustrating to fans, but I can understand their methodology- I think).

[@droppkick1538]

BeanBinary Don't forget the lowkey out of the closet things. Like "Do all Galra know each other?" "Galra Keith is way funnier than regular Keith." ect.

[@beanbinary]

Dropp Kick Oh yeah of course

[@Kkeire7]

But, WHAT ABOUT AN *ACTUAL* MUSICAL EPISODE? PLEEEAAAASSSEEEE!

[@Kkeire7]

Like, maybe *after Keith is back* they do some kind of concert thing for the coalition, please, please, please, please, plleeeeaaassseee

[@kitkat70453]

Bruh id yell

[@Kkeire7]

CatFarts32 XD

[@aidenkiii]

yES I NEED

[@cheesecakeknight5862]

If they don't do a musical episode then they should at least make ova's. Like a musical ova, Hunk being an amazing chef ova, and an ova of the paladins turning into babies except Shiro and Shiro has to take care of them as if they're his own children.

[@atticcouch]

When they say face Zarkon but after the season came out and now I’m just dead laughing

[@navygirl0012]

I love how Josh Keaton immediatly responded when the guy said "Space Dad"

[@destra8225]

Lauren watching Jeremy like a hawk omg 😂 better choose your words wisely!

[@trxppymoon9098]

S P A C E D A D S H I R O

[@moonziez]

kEITH WILL GET AN ARC

[@ayanavilmenay1800]

moonzi im quacking

[@droppkick1538]

Keith's arc was kinda season 2, and is still lowkey going on. His arc is finding answers about where he came from, and as of right now has it.

[@ayanavilmenay1800]

Dropp Kick im really excited to see how he is going to develop with his mom and how he is going to get reintegrated in team voltron. I swear they better have keith be in s6.

[@aidenkiii]

*wHEEZE*

[@abonilashkar5026]

moonzi I'm so excited!!!

[@babyrage5678]

no matter what you ship continue to ship it don't let anyone tell you differently! :) -have a nice day

[@allmightyweeb7876]

thats so nice of you ;)

[@katiegarofalo4168]

More Hunk time please...

[@ramestice]

After watching Season 5 unfold, I can see how Lance has matured a lot. I'm so proud of my son ;w;

[@kaganerui7281]

I want more klance

[@snow__________695]

[@zocha9003]

kagane rui yeah

[@seeh7775]

[@The1andonlysharpshooter]

WHAT a mood

[@mashiro814]

kagane rui YEAH

[@rubentencate4588]

"Keith cosplay over there, yessss yesssss" Jeremy is so excited to see someone play Keith!! Klance is happening!!!!!

[@bishop2600]

Emily Chatham for real

[@rubentencate4588]

Emily Chatham well since Jeremy Shada plays Lance and he loves Keith cosplay, there has to be some sort of connection, right? Not that it's a solid theory, but it seems like a hint for me XD

[@fukshit4145]

Emily Chatham Can I get a source ?

[@emmablue9039]

Emily Chatham we need a source so we know your not making it up

[@kensho101]

I have proof I think I’ll send you a link for season 6 panels

[@xxwillowdrawsxx1996]

This was posted on my birthday why didn't i find this sooner!?

[@nkfanning]

It's weird seeing them irl with the characters voices?!!

[@r3n608]

When they said color symbolism at first I flipped because over been doing ALOT of research on that

[@madi9279]

SEASON SIX BETTER HAVE MORE KEITH

[@abonilashkar5026]

piercexthexparx x agreed

[@cypheraddict4361]

YOU GOT WHAT U WANTED

[@abonilashkar5026]

[@cypheraddict4361]

piercexthexparx x DUDE I CRIED SO MUCH IVE NEVER CRIED THAT HARD IN MY LIFE WOOOOW

[@charlottewellman3090]

The three that disliked are Haggar, pre-mortem zarkon and Kuro.

[@danilesedano4016]

Lancy Lance I love you!! Thanks for playing Lance boy! Your doing it good

[@loganforrest345]

I hope they have KLANCE become canon. Also more character development, and stuff. It'll be pretty cool to add this in season 6 or 7 hopefully

[@ClurBy938]

logan forrest I'd love if Klance became cannon!!! But if it's not end game I'm gonna continue watching the show regardless cuz I love it so much! ❤️

[@loganforrest345]

_Chat Noir_ same here😄

[@elliotross3217]

[@maria-fg2rs]

[@pastelcandies2569]

Lance stans are going to replenish their skin, be healthy for months, never

[@719hannah]

The amount of ppl talking about klance is too much , pls, talk about something else the show isn't about klance (I mean in the comments mostly)

[@justb0red206]

bunny Thank you 👏

[@emmablue9039]

I barely see any Klance comments

[@kensho101]

I barely see klance comments

[@jackiemanikasa3601]

It shouldn't bother you. People like to share their opinion and there shouldn't be a restriction to it. If you don't like them, don't read them 😊

[@clmcoclmco2222]

oh what a joke -take characters and grow them. Keith hasn't been in 2 seasons for the most part.

[@user-sl4ju4hg8y]

like they said: there are a lot of characters and the focus moves among them.

[@keyboardcockatoo4567]

In all fairness, Keith was very much involved in the 3 seasons prior. I do agree that there should of have been more Keith in the last two seasons, but the parts we did get were really great (his mom!)! I do think if they make the right choice. Giving more character development to Lotor, Lance, Allura, Pidge (Sort of Matt..), Haggar, and anyone else I am missing was totally worth it. Anyway, he should have a much more active role in the next season!

[@clmcoclmco2222]

I am not saying we have to SEE his character. But if Lance, Pidge, Hunk, Allura are his friends don't you think just a mention of him would pull the character into the story without him being there. Instead he is totally ignored and when we finally get him on screen the majority of the episode is the mall comedy sketch rehatched. with Keith discovering his mom is thrown in as a side idea. Yet we have loud mouth Lance -who I am quickly getting sick of getting a lot of air time so to speak being stupid. While Hunk is nowhere important. And don't get me started on the waste of storytime for Pidge and her family. 3 loooooonnnnggg episode focus.

[@clmcoclmco2222]

Maybe they ought to have stayed with the core 7 and grow them BEFORE they introduced us to the other side characters, Matt for instance and his father.

[@keyboardcockatoo4567]

clmco clmco I totally get what you’re saying, but personally I just thought it was nice to see Lotor, Lance, Allura, and even Haggar get some development. I know you don’t, but I like Lance.. I’m glad they gave him some more character. Yes, Keith should have been mentioned a lot more throughout the season, but we’ve got a lot of great Keith moments and it was nice to see SOME of the other characters get their time to shine. Sorry if my first response came off rude. I didn’t intend for it to be that way.

[@lemonwater.netttt]

Can an arc in season 6 pass the giant arc of his emo hair?

[@Fan_de_Droners]

I ship kallura

[@sassytailsasha9203]

Get out

[@leoneabbachio6052]

How to spell klance D-e-a-d
