Yeah, I was kind of pissed that the other paladins didn’t seem worried about Keith at all. He was going on these extremely dangerous missions to bolster efforts against the Empire, and their response was basically “stop messing around and come help us put on shows”. There was no “gosh, I hope Keith’s okay” or “I’m really worried about him putting himself in danger like this” or even “is it a good idea for an irreplaceable paladin of voltron to be in the line of fire unnecessarily?”

Because that was the whole argument for Keith sticking around, right? That he was the rightful paladin of the Black Lion and couldn’t be replaced? So why weren’t the others worried when he was putting his life on the line?

The best answers I can think of are:

a)  Keith kept them in the dark about how risky the missions were so they wouldn’t worry. Thus, they never understood that his life was on the line every time he went out there.

or

b)  They knew Keith was taking dangerous missions and were worried and just weren’t handling it well. They felt like he wasn’t taking the risk to his life seriously when, in fact, Keith was taking the risk seriously but had decided that the potential gains were more important.

But yeah. That rubbed me the wrong way, too.
