Something that has been mentioned in the show but never really seen per-se is the subject of space pirates. We know they exist, cause in s2ep9 Varkon is immediately suspicious of the paladins’ unusually outfits and accuses them as such and Pidge and Coran discussed them a bit in s3ep1 that he was one back in his day. However, despite being mentioned a bit on the show, we never actually see em.
But then s7 trailers came up, and we get these interesting shots of the generals, where they are dressed up in new clothing and have gone through some radical physical changes.
My gut instinct was to think that the generals became rulers in their own right considering Zethrid’s comments in s5ep6, but after discussing it with @superheroladies some more I came to the realization what if instead of being rulers, the generals became the pirates that have been so carefully foreshadowed?
Looking at the back it seems like there are lots and lots of Druids surrounding the blade. But what are they, and where could they have came from since Haggar only had a limited amount. Well, there is the possibility that when Alteans were hunted down pre-colony days they were given to Haggar to create Druids.
We know Haggar is a necromancer, so taking dead bodies and converting them into her Druids might be on the right track. Don’t forget, those are thousands so she has an army now.
Bruh legit what is it that caused Zethrid her left eye, Ezor her left leg, and Acxa her left arm I am still shook about that. But it’s cute that they match on where their new disabilities are.
The Generals are back and cooler than ever. They wear new outfits with new colors, a combination we’ve never seen before, and I have some ideas:
1) they found another boss so they changed their old (but fine as hell) Sincline outfits. The new leader can be someone confident and powerful enough to trust them into a tie again, and maybe it’s someone who will do a favour to them eventually, like bringing back Narti. If that’s the case, I hope the new boss is Merla, that from precedent voltron versions is always a very powerful and clever leader and among the few people who can stop Lotor, so the girls working for someone even stronger and without issues and manias is a great step forward
2) the Generals aren’t working for nobody, they are now starting a new empire, maybe with the territories already ruled by Lotor (we know of their existence through Throk’s words in the arena in s3e1). I think this is also the most likely to happen since Zethrid already stated in s5e6 that they could fight for having a “nice, little territory on their own”. Of course, they won’t ally with Sendak and/or Haggar anymore and they could replace Lotor’s old place as Voltron’s allies, but they could also keep staying on their own side.
Whatever Haggar is up to it’s getting more chilling. If the theory that Druids are dead Alteans is true, then she might have gotten thousands now thanks to the colony. I suspect Alteans are now with the coalition due to the new prosthetics of the generals and overall design.
Zethrid’s scarf reminds me of what rebels of her other half wear as well.
Haggar might be popping out Druids in a rapid speed because look at the bandages on their arms. This is what Druid arms look like
So she might be sending them instantly now with no time to adjust
it’s interesting to note a couple of things starting with their different designs, and boy have they change.
Ezor: taller overall. older and developed looking over all. Her left leg is now a prosthetic.
Zethrid: Lost an eye (her left one) and her ears are more messier.
Acxa: doesn’t seem that much different except that her hair grew out to shoulder length it seems and she’s got a prosthetic arm. (hah knew that black hair was just that – black hair)
It’s to note that they all got new outfits which carry a different color scheme from the team sincline outfits
it includes white, magenta and gold in it and looks rather noble – makes sense if the girls actually did conquer territory like they planned too. And they went through hell for it judging by the very obvious battle scars they have now.
this of course, suggests a major timeskip, which was already implied by the original trailer as is
Real adulthood is stealing a 6 y/o’s toy, making him film you, then threatening to run him over with it.
