How Voltron should’ve ended

Pardon the text post, but I needed to make a brain dump of everything that I wanted to see happen in VLD. May add or delete later, but without further ado, here is:

What I expected / wanted to happen in Voltron: Legendary Defender

• At least a season of Team Lotor hijinks (like Azula and Ozai’s Angels) before falling out
• Estranged generals join the Blade of Marmora
• …And finally have a heart wrenching reunion where they reconcile with Lotor *feels*
• Keith and Axca are siblings! Yay!
• * Evil Altean Empire returns! And they’re more scary than the Galra ever were because they have evil space magic and brainwashing! Yikes!
• Paladins meet their evil twins from another reality? Evil Voltron?
• Big Bad turns out to be the entities coming from the corrupted quintessence - and they’ve been using Hagar and Zarkon as puppets of evil, and only Voltron is the only thing that can stop them, which is why Zarkon is so intent on capturing Voltron from Season 1
• You know how the Galra War was big? Well that was fish sticks compared to the ACTUAL interdimensional war between one group of entities trying to stop the evil entities from gobbling up all the quintessence in every reality
• You know how Alfor felt like the comet ore was engineering itself? *George Tsoukalos hands* ✋ENTITIES
• * MFEs transformer/combine into robots and get a WHOLE FLEET of kickass fighter jets (seriously, this was such a missed opportunity smh)
• Also, after the showdown on Earth, everyone scrambles to build better defenses using a combination of Arusian, Earth, and Altean engineering
• Haggar/Honerva is now fully self-aware but chooses to join the evil entities because Evil is Fun
• Team Voltron meets and fights alongside original Paladins (which happened, but not in the Finale)
• Finale is a giant mecha teamup between Voltron, Team Lotor, Atlas, and MFEs against the Final Boss Evil Entities

For the Finale:

I truly detest “just a dream” endings, but LOVE bittersweet endings with heroic sacrifices. If done right, this is how the finale could’ve gone down:

• a bittersweet restart ending where Team Voltron has to alter the original reality so that 10,000 years of war never happened, but that means they never would have met and formed Voltron.
• Altea and Daibazaal would still exist, but idk if everyone would retain their memories of their past lives
• OR they could pull a Lost Light 25 - make a happy reality where that happens, but also keep their own reality, which they worked so hard to protect (I like this option the best - let’s go with that)

On a less dramatic note, I also wanted this to happen:

• Team Punk does it again. And again. And again. Nothing can stop these chaotic good nerds
• Adam doesn’t die
• Cannon Lotura
• And of course
• Cannon Klance

Darker options I thought they’d take for season 8:

• Lotor fuses with his sincline mecha, becoming an eldritch weapon like the ultimate monster Keith and Krolia released, but much more evil
• Using his powerful new form, he’s able to pierce realities and becomes a quintessence-havresting warlord even worse than Zarkon
• Eventually he teams up with the evil Altean Empire and Dragon Mecha Warlord LOTOR becomes the Final Boss
• Maybe Honerva finds him and is like, o shite guess I’ll join too
• Honestly at that point, the protagonists are screwed. Gonna need an interdimensional entity like Bob to lend a hand here
