I can't believe I'm about to say this but...

I don't like the way the crew of Shera and the Princesses of Power behaves in public. I don't like the way they shit-talk their peers making related series, like VLD. I don't like the way several of them court antishippers.

But I do think it is awfully interesting that at approximately the same time we know the edits were being made to Voltron season 8, that's when the SPOP crew started really talking shit about Voltron.

It's awfully interesting that this crew, working under the same studio and therefore subjected to less stringent NDA restrictions, just so happened to complain about the exact things that we now know were being fucked by the S8 edits.

It's almost as if the SPOP crew had heard about the shitshow going on next door at VLD and, knowing that their own property (another toy-driven 80s media re-vamp with strong influences from anime and ATLA, and a large capital-F Fandom following) might be next on the block for that kind of meddling, tried to speak out.

Badly, mind you. Unacceptably, in my opinion.

And yet, it's awfully fucking interesting.

Well, Ezor's scenes ARE well animated. She doesn't seem to be added later. She moves. Every obviously edited scene has a character stand still and have little to no shading, but Ezor is detailed in at least one of her appearances. I honestly think she was to appear later, after Zethrid thinks she was dead, but in a context that would have made no sense with major storyline scrapped alongside her lines. Or it is just me being hopeful. Perhaps whoever animated her just focused on her specifically and half assed all the other characters.
