Season 4 only been out four hours and y’all already sleeping on how well Keith slipped into that goddamn leadership role in Ep 6. He realized something fishy was going on and he rallied the troops like a pro.
Our boy did good!
I’m so proud of how far he’s come!
Also please tell me I’m not the only one who is sort of thinking that the Keith and Lotor parallels may be foreshadowing. Last season they had a few similarities but this season really amped it up.
Their positions of power were taken away; Keith willingly, Lotor I guess semi-willingly.
They both separated from the team they led/were a part of. However, Keith gets a more cheerful goodbye than Lotor did…
And just,,, because Keitor owns my ass,,, I wanna say that when Lotor shot the shield down, saving Keith in the process, I was crying at least one (1) tear.
me before watching season 4: wow i can’t wait to see how much character development is gonna happen now that keith’s piloting black and the team dynamics totally changed! everyone’s gonna be working together and improving together and there’s no one person in charge ‘cause they’re all kids trying to do their best as a team! exciting stuff!
ok but also–that’s two seasons now Keith was prepared to take up a suicide mission and nearly died in an explosion. I really do not like where that’s going
I mean, I’m not saying they’re implying they’d ever kill off Keith that way, but it’s not a pattern that makes me particularly comfortable. He’s someone who would throw away his life if it meant saving the people he cared about or contributed to a cause. He’s someone committed to his duty first and never shows concern over his own self-preservation. Knowledge or death, right?
Also, Keith was shown setting off explosives in his very first scene. I’d be really fucking heartbroken if they had him “go out with a bang” too, but like–I’m really nervous. Self-sacrifice seems to be a trait many galra carry, and it really hurts to see how Keith feels the same even when he looks absolutely terrified and squeezes his eyes shut before the crash so he doesn’t have to watch. He looks so young and vulnerable and I really hope he knows how much his life matters.
