Undermine purple torch
The second of the queens, the most inconspicuous one, became Melenor. The Olkari had a significant influence on the plot, and Queen Mother Ryner helped Pidge to accept herself as the Green Paladin and said one of the main phrases of the series: We’re all made up of the same cosmic dust. The first of the queens who clearly demonstrated her royal and maternal power was the leader of Olkarion. This is an empowered woman who directs all her influence to protect her children: both people whose lives depend on her decisions, and her ideas, laws and orders that she promotes. And these are not just abstract female rulers, I’ll call them the general term – the Queen Mother. There were few female rulers in the series, but for the most part they had a significant influence on the plot and life of the main characters. We’ve got not only the Lion Goddess, the plot began to revolve around female power. In VLD, everything has taken on an even wider scope. Meanwhile in VLD, Dayak hit Lance for trying to undermine Lotor’s authority Unfortunately, this story arc wasn’t developed properly in DOTU, and Allura’s happy ending was reduced to the fact that she didn’t have a marriage of convenience, but ended being together with a brilliant Keith. This trend was set by GoLion and DOTU, where the Space Goddess was considered the main deity, and poor Allura had to constantly quarrel with her nanny, who believed that the princess should stay at home, get married and then give birth to children, and even closed Allura in her room when the enemy attacked the castle.

Why am I telling you this? Because the whole universe in the Voltron series was somehow under female authority, where great men became a bargaining chip or prize in the hands of their women. Sir Gawain himself, having married an ugly old woman, finds a beautiful wife, but only after he allows her to decide her own destiny. In this legend, King Arthur, in order to save his life, must find the answer to the question: what do women desire for? And Lady Ragnell, in exchange for marriage with Sir Gawain, tells Arthur the correct answer: women desire for power over men, even the greatest of them.
More precisely, from the legend of Sir Gawain and Lady Ragnell. This symbolism in one form or another is repeated in most fairy tales, where a young girl is the main character, and if different peoples agree on the same stories, then the message of these stories deserves attention.Īnd I’ll start from the old legend of King Arthur. Moreover, I’d like to discuss the storyline of Allura, because it was she who collected all the paths of the classic female protagonist.
But in this meta I’d like to talk not about what a good parent should be, but about the symbolism that these relations endow in our favorite show. In children’s series, this is generally a favorite topic. The question of the relationship of children and parents in the Voltron series was raised and discussed more than once.
