What are you most excited to see in She-Ra<\/em> season five?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Image courtesy of Click Communications and DreamWorks.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nShe-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/strong><\/em> zeroes in on the rebellion\u2019s best friend squad and the Horde\u2019s evil trio in a second season that emphasizes relationship development and lays the foundation for foreboding future plot lines.\r\n\r\nSeason one of She-Ra<\/em> followed a young woman named Adora (Aimee Carrero), who left behind the diabolical Horde\u2014and her best friend, Catra (AJ Michalka)\u2014in order to protect Etheria as the mythical hero She-Ra. While struggling to understand her new powers, she becomes close friends with a teleporting princess named Glimmer (Karen Fukuhara) and an archer named Bow (Marcus Scribner).\r\n\r\nThe majority of season one focused on the trio\u2019s efforts to recruit other princesses, including Mermista (Vella Lovell), Perfuma (Genesis Rogriguez), and Frosta (Merit Leighton), for the rebellion, but we see much less of these heroines in season two. They appear in a few big battle sequences, but most of the episodes put a spotlight on Adora, Glimmer, and Bow and, on the opposing side, Catra, Scorpia (Lauren Ash), and Entrapta (Christine Woods). Luckily, all six of these characters bring different goals to the table and are extremely likeable\u2014even Entrapta, who I actually wasn\u2019t a fan of in season one.\r\n\r\nWe get to see the bonds between these characters deepen, and perhaps the most significant bond is the one between Scorpia and Catra. Scorpia wants nothing more than to impress Catra and be her best friend, but Catra is busy trying to prove her worth as a force captain. However, there are a couple of sweet moments where Catra softens toward Scorpia, so I\u2019m interested to see how their relationship will continue to develop in season three.\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ Catra, Entrapta and Scorpia. Image Courtesy of Click Communications and DreamWorks.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nSpeaking of Catra, her scene with Shadow Weaver (Lorraine Toussaint) in one of the later episodes is one of the most emotionally impactful parts of the season. I don\u2019t want to reveal too much, but it\u2019s simply heart-wrenching to see some of Catra\u2019s core fears and desires once she lets her walls down. Beyond that, the smugness, anger, and angst behind Catra\u2019s dialogue throughout the season makes for an even more complex, intriguing character and highlights the incredible skill of actress AJ Michalka.\r\n\r\nSeason two also develops the relationships between Glimmer and Frosta and between Adora and her horse, Swift Wind (Adam Ray). This was a welcome surprise since we didn\u2019t really get to know Frosta or Swift Wind in season one, but their interactions with Glimmer and Adora are pretty much isolated to just one episode. Also, while I enjoyed these new friendships, I wish season two featured more of Adora and Catra's friends-to-enemies dynamic.\r\n\r\nAgain, I don\u2019t want to reveal too much, but a lot of season two sets up future plot lines that relate to Shadow Weaver, Hordak (Keston John), and the First Ones. These plot lines will surely broaden the overall story and scope of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/em>, meaning our heroes\u2014and villains\u2014will face a whole new level of challenges in future episodes. Overall, season two is a heartfelt, humorous follow-up to season one, and I hope we'll see more interactions between Adora and Catra next season.\r\n

In the 13 new episodes, characters who have slowly grown into themselves are pushed to their very limits in both mind and body, and in some of the show\u2019s deepest and occasionally darkest moments yet, the stakes are raised to new heights and punches are not pulled.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Spoiler alert!<\/strong><\/p>\r\nTeam Voltron arguably grows closer than ever before this season, both as a team and in individual relationships. For instance, glimpses into Shiro and Keith\u2019s past in \u201cA Little Adventure\u201d leads to further unification between the two in present time and offers fans an explanation as to why they have a brotherly bond. The episode shows that when Keith was young, Shiro believed in him when no one else did and got him into the Galaxy Garrison. Amid the flashbacks, Keith begs Shiro to fight for control of the clone body that\u2019s rejecting his consciousness, leading to Shiro\u2019s return and a tender hug between the two. As Keith said, they have saved each other, and this is an idea that has been seen in previous seasons and was seen throughout the rest of season seven.\r\n\r\nKeith continues to show vulnerability in moments with his mother, especially when she leaves to revive the Blades of Marmora at the end of \u201cThe Ruins.\u201d Keith calls Krolia \u201cmom\u201d for the first time, and they say they love each other before sharing a hug. Keith may always be a bit closed off and reserved when it comes to his emotions, but his interactions with Shiro and Krolia this season have truly shown how far he\u2019s come in terms of opening his heart to others. Keith is easily of the most well-developed characters on the show, and his story has been masterfully told.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-50229\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screenrant.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"317\" \/> Image via Screenrant\/DreamWorks[\/caption]\r\n\r\nIn the second episode, titled \u201cThe Road Home,\u201d the team gets to be like a family in a very relatable, humorous way. There are numerous road trip antics: arguing over which animal companions should go in what lion, Coran driving everyone crazy by singing the Altean alphabet, and Romelle touching everything she can in Lance\u2019s Red Lion. This family dynamic is one that is developed and tested as the season goes on since the team is still adjusting a bit to Keith leading, Allura and Lance piloting new lions, and Shiro being back but on the sidelines. In fact, the paladins almost reach a serious near-breaking point in \u201cThe Journey Within,\u201d which may be the best episode of the season.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe Journey Within\u201d takes a dark dig into the team\u2019s core when they find themselves adrift in space far from their lions. With nothing to do but hold onto each other and wait, they battle loosing their minds. The circumstances take a noticeable toll on Keith, who lashes out and asks foundation-shaking questions about their friendships, such as who they are as a team and what even keeps them together. Such questions have not really surfaced in the show before, and it's jarring in a good way. The questions allow for a bit of soul searching and serve as an obstacle that the paladins clearly need to conquer in order to move forward.\r\n\r\nIn Keith's moments of anger and irrationality, Hunk proves to be the glue that holds the team together. Also, Hunk\u2019s vulnerabilities are made his strengths for a change, as he tells the team that they\u2019re just afraid and not used to that feeling whereas he is and understands what it\u2019s like. Later, when a space creature appears, it is Hunk saying he\u2019ll attack while the others get away that reminds the paladins they are team.\r\n\r\nHunk continues to shine in later episodes, which is a joy to see. Fans have long complained that the yellow paladin has been neglected and given the least character development. Upon the paladins\u2019 return to Earth in \u201cKnow Your Enemy,\u201d Lance and Pidge have beautiful family reunions, but Hunk learns his family has been taken captive. He grapples with feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, and he realizes that his long-held dream of coming home has been shattered. But with Keith\u2019s help, Hunk finally faces his fear and resolves to do whatever he can to help his family in a touching display of strength that fans have been waiting for.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-50188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Image via DreamWorks[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe season finale, titled \u201cLions\u2019 Pride Part 1\u201d and \u201cLions\u2019 Pride Part 2,\u201d was a nail-biting fight to save Earth from Sendak, his Galra soldiers, and an extremely powerful Galra robot. The animation in the fight between Voltron and the Galra robot is stunning, particularly when they fight hand-to-hand with double swords and when they take to the sky. After a massive struggle, the Galra robot is destroyed but set to self-destruct, meaning the paladins have to carry it out into space so the blast doesn\u2019t destroy half of Earth.\r\n\r\nAs they do so, Keith says that it\u2019s been an honor to fly with his team, and in that moment, fans know that the paladins recognize the cost of winning this fight. But when supposed death comes in a swathe of bright light, the defenders of the universe are not afraid. They stare straight ahead with determination and strength, the two things that always keep them going and that keep them alive after the explosion. It is this moment that shows why these characters are some of the best in animation right now and how much they\u2019ve grown as individuals and as a team. Every trial and test in previous seasons prepared them for this moment of potential sacrifice for the greater good, which is something they surely wouldn\u2019t have been as willing to do at the start of their journey.\r\n\r\nBefore the final episode fades to black, it\u2019s revealed that an Altean is the power source of the Galra robot, setting up a new, final mission for season eight. It will be interesting to see how the Altean storyline wraps up and what will be next for the paladins when all the battles are over. But until season eight comes, season seven is a beautiful and exhilarating installment in the Voltron series that can be enjoyed again and again and that proves the show only gets better each season.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">What did you think of season seven of\u00a0<em>Voltron: Legendary Defender<\/em>?<\/h1>","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'Voltron: Legendary Defender' doesn't pull punches in beautiful, exhilarating seventh season","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-voltron-legendary-defender-doesnt-pull-punches-in-beautiful-exhilarating-seventh-season","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-08-10 00:32:04","post_modified_gmt":"2018-08-10 07:32:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=50228","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":50178,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2018-08-08 14:46:46","post_date_gmt":"2018-08-08 21:46:46","post_content":"<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50183\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image005.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\">\r\n\r\nThough the paladins finally defeated Lotor in season six of the hit show <em><strong>Voltron: Legendary Defender<\/strong><\/em>, their fight is far from over as they take on a new challenge\u2014 returning to Earth.\r\n\r\nSeason seven of the DreamWorks series focuses on the heroes' journey home, which is a moment they've all been dreaming of. But when the power hungry Galra attack, Earth becomes something out of a nightmare.\r\n\r\nIn anticipation of the 13 new episodes, I spoke with executive producers Joaquim Dos Santos and Lauren Montgomery about fan favorite Shiro, newcomer Romelle, going back to the paladins' home planet, and much more.\r\n\r\n<em>This interview was edited for length and clarity. There are no spoilers for season seven, but events from season six are discussed.<\/em>\r\n<h5><b>In season six, we learned that the real Shiro\u2019s consciousness was living in the Black Lion after he died and that the Shiro with the team was a clone. How did you plan out that storyline, and did you worry when fans quickly started to guess that Shiro was a clone?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Joaquim Dos Santos:<\/strong> We weren\u2019t really worried. I will say that just from sort of a bigger perspective, there\u2019s so many ideas and story threads that people are speculating on that they kind of get some version of what\u2019s going to happen, regardless.\r\n\r\n<strong>Lauren Montgomery:<\/strong> Between everyone out there, if you were to take a little bit of this person\u2019s theory and a little bit of that person\u2019s theory, they know everything that\u2019s happening. [With clone Shiro,] it was something that ended up happening kind of as a saving effort when we originally were going to have Shiro exit the show and just have the rest of our paladins rise up to fill that space. But then we got word that Shiro was not going to be leaving the show, so we kind of had to [ask], \u2018Ok, what do we do now, how do we keep this guy in the show,\" but without just kicking everyone out of their lions. We put our little thinking caps on and came up with this story, [and] I think early on, it was always an idea that his consciousness was going to be in the Black Lion whether we brought him back as a clone or whether he was just kind of that force that helped Keith along.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We knew that was basically our saving throw\u2013 that we could keep Shiro there, that even if we wanted to wait four seasons and then after that bring him back, we could.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> We brought him back sooner. But to allow our team to continue to grow while still having Shiro around without him being the leader that allows them to not have to grow because he does everything for them, we make him this clone where he\u2019s a little erratic. In that way, most of our characters continue to have to fill in the gaps that are being left by this erratic clone.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><b>Staying on the topic of Shiro, he provides important representation for many fans. He\u2019s an amputee, he seems to have some PTSD, he\u2019s Asian, and it was recently revealed that he\u2019s gay. What was it like constructing his character, and why do you think it was important to give him the qualities you did rather than give them to another character?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> Well, he\u2019s older and he just has more life experience than the other characters. He\u2019s seen more, he\u2019s had interpersonal relationships that were established and ongoing before he ever linked up with our characters.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Some of it just came about because of the story. Like the amputee thing, him being in the Galra gladiator pits and fighting, it was just something that was part of that story and also a cool design element.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> [It\u2019s] superficial as heck, but that was honestly just me saying, \u201cCan we give him a robot arm?\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Sometimes that stuff just happens, but then you also have that wonderful side effect of him being a source of representation for people. I don\u2019t think we initially intended to just give him everything. I think it just kind of ended up working out that way, that these were all cool elements that really worked into his story best. Looking back on it, we certainly made him an amazing beacon of representation.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I think the cool thing is that if you look back and take into consideration everything he\u2019s gone through up to the point where we first meet him and see how strong he is, that makes him even stronger and even cooler.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50185\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image007.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5><b>It seems that Keith will fully assume the leadership role in season seven even though Shiro is back. Keith really struggled with being leader in previous seasons, and though he's grown a lot, does he still have any hesitations?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I don\u2019t think so. I think at this point, we\u2019re pretty safe in assuming that [in] the time he\u2019s spent with his mother, he\u2019s grown a lot. He\u2019s had the time to really accept who he is and what his place is in the world and in the universe, and he\u2019s come to terms with a lot of his demons.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> He\u2019s become a little more settled in himself now that he\u2019s kind of overcome a lot of those demons, and that allows him to trust in himself and in his own judgement. He no longer has that fear of trusting his own judgment and being that leader. He\u2019s had that time away with his mother to kind of learn to trust himself, and so he\u2019s able to kind of bring that to the team now.\r\n<h5><b>You mentioned the time Keith spent with his mother, and during that time he found a space wolf, who was kind of a breakout star in season six. What does that space wolf add to Keith\u2019s life?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> What Keith did with his mother over those two years was like catching up on an entirety of childhood, and he kind of went through that like, \u2018Now here\u2019s your dog. Feed it, wash it, walk it.\u2019 And so he learned that responsibility, being responsible for a life, and now that thing is loyal to him.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I think unconditional love from another creature is a big one, and I think no matter how far Keith has come, he\u2019s still sort of like this lone wolf character. So now he\u2019s got a companion in his cool lone wolf pup.\r\n<h5><b>Coming up in season seven, the paladins are headed back to Earth, where the Galra threat is looming. How did you go about bringing aliens and the consequences of their presence into the real world?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We sort of knew with the storyline that we always wanted to touch on [going back to Earth]. There\u2019s nothing more personal that bringing the fight back to our cast\u2019s home planet. In terms of getting them there, we wanted to make sure that we made it feel natural and like a natural progression of where the battle would go and why the Galra would think in the first place to even go there.\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50186\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image004.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"313\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5><b>Romelle made her debut in season six, and we\u2019ll see more of her in season seven. Did you always know that you wanted to bring Romelle into the show since she was in the original 1980s series? What will she bring to the team dynamic?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> There was always a hope that we could. The whole Alteans kind of still being alive [storyline] was something that came about later in the development of the series, so we weren\u2019t always sure if Romelle would be part of it, or if Romelle would be in the show but maybe not Altean.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We talked about her also at one point [being] in flashbacks for Allura or something like that. We wanted to work her in in some fashion.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> It wasn\u2019t always crystal clear how she would come in, and so when ultimately the story came about, it was perfect that she would be kind of the mouthpiece for it.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> She sort of replaced Hunk in the sense that Hunk is now kind of used to the crazy adventures, so she\u2019s now the beacon of like, \u201cWhat are we doing here, guys?\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> She\u2019s like what Hunk\u2019s start point was. She\u2019s kind of that whole voice of ridiculousness. She\u2019s fun. I\u2019ve always wanted more female characters that held more of that kind of comedic weight, so Romelle\u2019s a lot of fun to play with in that way.\r\n<h5><b>Staying on the topic of female characters, Lotor\u2019s generals have been fan favorites, and they switch sides a lot. Axca seems to be the most unpredictable, and there have been a few moments where she seems to have a connection with Keith. Specifically in season five, she saves him at the Kral Zera. What\u2019s their relationship all about?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> It\u2019s like a warrior\u2019s respect.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Yeah, it\u2019s like an honor sort of thing. Axca, when we met her, she was on this mission to gather scaultrite from the Weblum, and she was probably going to die in that Weblum\u2019s third stomach, trapped in her ship being digested. Keith saved her, knew she was Galra, but treated her with respect, and she appreciated that. She appreciated that this warrior saved her life regardless [of her Galra race] and treated her with respect the whole time. Even though she had to betray him at the end and take the scaultrite, I think she felt like that person has an honor that\u2019s worthy of saving, so any chance she has to not kill him herself or not let him die, she feels like that\u2019s a quality that needs to continue on in the world. I think that\u2019s a quality that she thought Lotor had and maybe only realized at the end that for Lotor, it was all talk, whereas for Keith, it was apparent through his actions that he really had that honor.\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5>There have been several lighthearted episodes in past seasons that fans have really loved, like \u201cSpace Mall,\u201d \u201cThe Voltron Show!\u201d and \u201cMonsters & Mana.\u201d We now know there will be a game show episode in season seven. How do you come up with the ideas for these fun episodes?<\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We just look to nostalgia that we have from our past or present, and we just say, \u201cHow can we work in a game show episode? How can we work in mermaids? How can we work in D&D?\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Some of it\u2019s really just kind of like, \u201cOh, wouldn\u2019t it be so awesome if we could do this?\u201d Because ultimately, when we\u2019re making the show, there\u2019s a lot of things that we need to do for the story, like Galra attack, Galra attack, and then lions form Voltron. But anytime we get a chance to do something as outrageous as going to a mall or going to a mermaid planet or going on a game show, we really appreciate [it] because we know they\u2019re going to be pretty few and far between. We take those chances when we can.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> They let you see the characters in another light, and I will say specifically for the D&D one, there was a lesson to be had there beyond just playing the game. It was genuinely a team building exercise. They\u2019re not just total throwaways. And then the mall episode, we juxtaposed that against probably one of the more serious storylines with Shiro bonding with the Black Lion.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><b>After season seven, there\u2019s just one more season of <em>Voltron<\/em>. What has this journey been like for you two, and can you give fans any hints as to what\u2019s coming?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> [There\u2019s] good stuff coming. We\u2019re really, really excited for it, and we think it culminates in a really, really meaningful and important way for us personally.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> I think for us, it\u2019s been about a four year long journey of just hard work. It\u2019s been hard. But ultimately we really cared about the show, we believed in the show, and we wanted to do right by it because we were really proud of the show we made and the crew that we were working on it with. So as difficult as it\u2019s been, I don\u2019t think we would really change a thing.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> It\u2019s sounds maybe a little hokey to say, but with that much time passing, you basically form relationships that\u2013 moving on you might not see each other everyday\u2013 but these are friendships and relationships that will last forever. So beyond the show itself, that\u2019s really meaningful.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>A big thank you to Joaquim and Lauren for taking the time to do this interview and to DreamWorks for organizing it.

Image courtesy of Click Communications and DreamWorks.[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<em><strong>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/strong><\/em> zeroes in on the rebellion\u2019s best friend squad and the Horde\u2019s evil trio in a second season that emphasizes relationship development and lays the foundation for foreboding future plot lines.\r\n\r\nSeason one of <em>She-Ra<\/em> followed a young woman named Adora (Aimee Carrero), who left behind the diabolical Horde\u2014and her best friend, Catra (AJ Michalka)\u2014in order to protect Etheria as the mythical hero She-Ra. While struggling to understand her new powers, she becomes close friends with a teleporting princess named Glimmer (Karen Fukuhara) and an archer named Bow (Marcus Scribner).\r\n\r\nThe majority of season one focused on the trio\u2019s efforts to recruit other princesses, including Mermista (Vella Lovell), Perfuma (Genesis Rogriguez), and Frosta (Merit Leighton), for the rebellion, but we see much less of these heroines in season two. They appear in a few big battle sequences, but most of the episodes put a spotlight on Adora, Glimmer, and Bow and, on the opposing side, Catra, Scorpia (Lauren Ash), and Entrapta (Christine Woods). Luckily, all six of these characters bring different goals to the table and are extremely likeable\u2014even Entrapta, who I actually wasn\u2019t a fan of in season one.\r\n\r\nWe get to see the bonds between these characters deepen, and perhaps the most significant bond is the one between Scorpia and Catra. Scorpia wants nothing more than to impress Catra and be her best friend, but Catra is busy trying to prove her worth as a force captain. However, there are a couple of sweet moments where Catra softens toward Scorpia, so I\u2019m interested to see how their relationship will continue to develop in season three.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-52063\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Catra_Entrapta_Scorpia.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Catra, Entrapta and Scorpia. Image Courtesy of Click Communications and DreamWorks.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nSpeaking of Catra, her scene with Shadow Weaver (Lorraine Toussaint) in one of the later episodes is one of the most emotionally impactful parts of the season. I don\u2019t want to reveal too much, but it\u2019s simply heart-wrenching to see some of Catra\u2019s core fears and desires once she lets her walls down. Beyond that, the smugness, anger, and angst behind Catra\u2019s dialogue throughout the season makes for an even more complex, intriguing character and highlights the incredible skill of actress AJ Michalka.\r\n\r\nSeason two also develops the relationships between Glimmer and Frosta and between Adora and her horse, Swift Wind (Adam Ray). This was a welcome surprise since we didn\u2019t really get to know Frosta or Swift Wind in season one, but their interactions with Glimmer and Adora are pretty much isolated to just one episode. Also, while I enjoyed these new friendships, I wish season two featured more of Adora and Catra's friends-to-enemies dynamic.\r\n\r\nAgain, I don\u2019t want to reveal too much, but a lot of season two sets up future plot lines that relate to Shadow Weaver, Hordak (Keston John), and the First Ones. These plot lines will surely broaden the overall story and scope of <em>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/em>, meaning our heroes\u2014and villains\u2014will face a whole new level of challenges in future episodes. Overall, season two is a heartfelt, humorous follow-up to season one, and I hope we'll see more interactions between Adora and Catra next season.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Season two of DreamWorks\u2019 <em>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/em> hits Netflix on Friday, April 26.<\/h1>\r\nEdited by: Kelly Conley","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'She-Ra and the Princesses of Power' Season 2","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-she-ra-and-the-princesses-of-power-season-2","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-05-10 20:01:37","post_modified_gmt":"2019-05-11 03:01:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=52059","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":50416,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2018-09-19 18:04:18","post_date_gmt":"2018-09-20 01:04:18","post_content":"<img class=\"wp-image-50423\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/dlss3ysrqnd6sjjmxaji.jpg\" alt=\"avatar-the-last-airbender\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Image via Kotaku[\/caption]\r\n\r\nAfter 100 years in an iceberg and 10 years away from television screens, avatar Aang is coming to Netflix in a live-action <strong><em>Avatar: The Last Airbender<\/em> <\/strong>series.\r\n\r\nThe Netflix Twitter account See What's Next\u00a0broke the news Tuesday and revealed concept art of Aang and his flying bison, Appa.

In the 13 new episodes, characters who have slowly grown into themselves are pushed to their very limits in both mind and body, and in some of the show\u2019s deepest and occasionally darkest moments yet, the stakes are raised to new heights and punches are not pulled.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Spoiler alert!<\/strong><\/p>\r\nTeam Voltron arguably grows closer than ever before this season, both as a team and in individual relationships. For instance, glimpses into Shiro and Keith\u2019s past in \u201cA Little Adventure\u201d leads to further unification between the two in present time and offers fans an explanation as to why they have a brotherly bond. The episode shows that when Keith was young, Shiro believed in him when no one else did and got him into the Galaxy Garrison. Amid the flashbacks, Keith begs Shiro to fight for control of the clone body that\u2019s rejecting his consciousness, leading to Shiro\u2019s return and a tender hug between the two. As Keith said, they have saved each other, and this is an idea that has been seen in previous seasons and was seen throughout the rest of season seven.\r\n\r\nKeith continues to show vulnerability in moments with his mother, especially when she leaves to revive the Blades of Marmora at the end of \u201cThe Ruins.\u201d Keith calls Krolia \u201cmom\u201d for the first time, and they say they love each other before sharing a hug. Keith may always be a bit closed off and reserved when it comes to his emotions, but his interactions with Shiro and Krolia this season have truly shown how far he\u2019s come in terms of opening his heart to others. Keith is easily of the most well-developed characters on the show, and his story has been masterfully told.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-50229\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screenrant.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"317\" \/> Image via Screenrant\/DreamWorks[\/caption]\r\n\r\nIn the second episode, titled \u201cThe Road Home,\u201d the team gets to be like a family in a very relatable, humorous way. There are numerous road trip antics: arguing over which animal companions should go in what lion, Coran driving everyone crazy by singing the Altean alphabet, and Romelle touching everything she can in Lance\u2019s Red Lion. This family dynamic is one that is developed and tested as the season goes on since the team is still adjusting a bit to Keith leading, Allura and Lance piloting new lions, and Shiro being back but on the sidelines. In fact, the paladins almost reach a serious near-breaking point in \u201cThe Journey Within,\u201d which may be the best episode of the season.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe Journey Within\u201d takes a dark dig into the team\u2019s core when they find themselves adrift in space far from their lions. With nothing to do but hold onto each other and wait, they battle loosing their minds. The circumstances take a noticeable toll on Keith, who lashes out and asks foundation-shaking questions about their friendships, such as who they are as a team and what even keeps them together. Such questions have not really surfaced in the show before, and it's jarring in a good way. The questions allow for a bit of soul searching and serve as an obstacle that the paladins clearly need to conquer in order to move forward.\r\n\r\nIn Keith's moments of anger and irrationality, Hunk proves to be the glue that holds the team together. Also, Hunk\u2019s vulnerabilities are made his strengths for a change, as he tells the team that they\u2019re just afraid and not used to that feeling whereas he is and understands what it\u2019s like. Later, when a space creature appears, it is Hunk saying he\u2019ll attack while the others get away that reminds the paladins they are team.\r\n\r\nHunk continues to shine in later episodes, which is a joy to see. Fans have long complained that the yellow paladin has been neglected and given the least character development. Upon the paladins\u2019 return to Earth in \u201cKnow Your Enemy,\u201d Lance and Pidge have beautiful family reunions, but Hunk learns his family has been taken captive. He grapples with feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, and he realizes that his long-held dream of coming home has been shattered. But with Keith\u2019s help, Hunk finally faces his fear and resolves to do whatever he can to help his family in a touching display of strength that fans have been waiting for.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-50188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Image via DreamWorks[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe season finale, titled \u201cLions\u2019 Pride Part 1\u201d and \u201cLions\u2019 Pride Part 2,\u201d was a nail-biting fight to save Earth from Sendak, his Galra soldiers, and an extremely powerful Galra robot. The animation in the fight between Voltron and the Galra robot is stunning, particularly when they fight hand-to-hand with double swords and when they take to the sky. After a massive struggle, the Galra robot is destroyed but set to self-destruct, meaning the paladins have to carry it out into space so the blast doesn\u2019t destroy half of Earth.\r\n\r\nAs they do so, Keith says that it\u2019s been an honor to fly with his team, and in that moment, fans know that the paladins recognize the cost of winning this fight. But when supposed death comes in a swathe of bright light, the defenders of the universe are not afraid. They stare straight ahead with determination and strength, the two things that always keep them going and that keep them alive after the explosion. It is this moment that shows why these characters are some of the best in animation right now and how much they\u2019ve grown as individuals and as a team. Every trial and test in previous seasons prepared them for this moment of potential sacrifice for the greater good, which is something they surely wouldn\u2019t have been as willing to do at the start of their journey.\r\n\r\nBefore the final episode fades to black, it\u2019s revealed that an Altean is the power source of the Galra robot, setting up a new, final mission for season eight. It will be interesting to see how the Altean storyline wraps up and what will be next for the paladins when all the battles are over. But until season eight comes, season seven is a beautiful and exhilarating installment in the Voltron series that can be enjoyed again and again and that proves the show only gets better each season.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">What did you think of season seven of\u00a0<em>Voltron: Legendary Defender<\/em>?<\/h1>","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'Voltron: Legendary Defender' doesn't pull punches in beautiful, exhilarating seventh season","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-voltron-legendary-defender-doesnt-pull-punches-in-beautiful-exhilarating-seventh-season","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-08-10 00:32:04","post_modified_gmt":"2018-08-10 07:32:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=50228","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":50178,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2018-08-08 14:46:46","post_date_gmt":"2018-08-08 21:46:46","post_content":"<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50183\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image005.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\">\r\n\r\nThough the paladins finally defeated Lotor in season six of the hit show <em><strong>Voltron: Legendary Defender<\/strong><\/em>, their fight is far from over as they take on a new challenge\u2014 returning to Earth.\r\n\r\nSeason seven of the DreamWorks series focuses on the heroes' journey home, which is a moment they've all been dreaming of. But when the power hungry Galra attack, Earth becomes something out of a nightmare.\r\n\r\nIn anticipation of the 13 new episodes, I spoke with executive producers Joaquim Dos Santos and Lauren Montgomery about fan favorite Shiro, newcomer Romelle, going back to the paladins' home planet, and much more.\r\n\r\n<em>This interview was edited for length and clarity. There are no spoilers for season seven, but events from season six are discussed.<\/em>\r\n<h5><b>In season six, we learned that the real Shiro\u2019s consciousness was living in the Black Lion after he died and that the Shiro with the team was a clone. How did you plan out that storyline, and did you worry when fans quickly started to guess that Shiro was a clone?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Joaquim Dos Santos:<\/strong> We weren\u2019t really worried. I will say that just from sort of a bigger perspective, there\u2019s so many ideas and story threads that people are speculating on that they kind of get some version of what\u2019s going to happen, regardless.\r\n\r\n<strong>Lauren Montgomery:<\/strong> Between everyone out there, if you were to take a little bit of this person\u2019s theory and a little bit of that person\u2019s theory, they know everything that\u2019s happening. [With clone Shiro,] it was something that ended up happening kind of as a saving effort when we originally were going to have Shiro exit the show and just have the rest of our paladins rise up to fill that space. But then we got word that Shiro was not going to be leaving the show, so we kind of had to [ask], \u2018Ok, what do we do now, how do we keep this guy in the show,\" but without just kicking everyone out of their lions. We put our little thinking caps on and came up with this story, [and] I think early on, it was always an idea that his consciousness was going to be in the Black Lion whether we brought him back as a clone or whether he was just kind of that force that helped Keith along.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We knew that was basically our saving throw\u2013 that we could keep Shiro there, that even if we wanted to wait four seasons and then after that bring him back, we could.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> We brought him back sooner. But to allow our team to continue to grow while still having Shiro around without him being the leader that allows them to not have to grow because he does everything for them, we make him this clone where he\u2019s a little erratic. In that way, most of our characters continue to have to fill in the gaps that are being left by this erratic clone.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><b>Staying on the topic of Shiro, he provides important representation for many fans. He\u2019s an amputee, he seems to have some PTSD, he\u2019s Asian, and it was recently revealed that he\u2019s gay. What was it like constructing his character, and why do you think it was important to give him the qualities you did rather than give them to another character?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> Well, he\u2019s older and he just has more life experience than the other characters. He\u2019s seen more, he\u2019s had interpersonal relationships that were established and ongoing before he ever linked up with our characters.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Some of it just came about because of the story. Like the amputee thing, him being in the Galra gladiator pits and fighting, it was just something that was part of that story and also a cool design element.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> [It\u2019s] superficial as heck, but that was honestly just me saying, \u201cCan we give him a robot arm?\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Sometimes that stuff just happens, but then you also have that wonderful side effect of him being a source of representation for people. I don\u2019t think we initially intended to just give him everything. I think it just kind of ended up working out that way, that these were all cool elements that really worked into his story best. Looking back on it, we certainly made him an amazing beacon of representation.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I think the cool thing is that if you look back and take into consideration everything he\u2019s gone through up to the point where we first meet him and see how strong he is, that makes him even stronger and even cooler.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50185\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image007.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5><b>It seems that Keith will fully assume the leadership role in season seven even though Shiro is back. Keith really struggled with being leader in previous seasons, and though he's grown a lot, does he still have any hesitations?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I don\u2019t think so. I think at this point, we\u2019re pretty safe in assuming that [in] the time he\u2019s spent with his mother, he\u2019s grown a lot. He\u2019s had the time to really accept who he is and what his place is in the world and in the universe, and he\u2019s come to terms with a lot of his demons.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> He\u2019s become a little more settled in himself now that he\u2019s kind of overcome a lot of those demons, and that allows him to trust in himself and in his own judgement. He no longer has that fear of trusting his own judgment and being that leader. He\u2019s had that time away with his mother to kind of learn to trust himself, and so he\u2019s able to kind of bring that to the team now.\r\n<h5><b>You mentioned the time Keith spent with his mother, and during that time he found a space wolf, who was kind of a breakout star in season six. What does that space wolf add to Keith\u2019s life?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> What Keith did with his mother over those two years was like catching up on an entirety of childhood, and he kind of went through that like, \u2018Now here\u2019s your dog. Feed it, wash it, walk it.\u2019 And so he learned that responsibility, being responsible for a life, and now that thing is loyal to him.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I think unconditional love from another creature is a big one, and I think no matter how far Keith has come, he\u2019s still sort of like this lone wolf character. So now he\u2019s got a companion in his cool lone wolf pup.\r\n<h5><b>Coming up in season seven, the paladins are headed back to Earth, where the Galra threat is looming. How did you go about bringing aliens and the consequences of their presence into the real world?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We sort of knew with the storyline that we always wanted to touch on [going back to Earth]. There\u2019s nothing more personal that bringing the fight back to our cast\u2019s home planet. In terms of getting them there, we wanted to make sure that we made it feel natural and like a natural progression of where the battle would go and why the Galra would think in the first place to even go there.\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50186\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image004.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"313\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5><b>Romelle made her debut in season six, and we\u2019ll see more of her in season seven. Did you always know that you wanted to bring Romelle into the show since she was in the original 1980s series? What will she bring to the team dynamic?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> There was always a hope that we could. The whole Alteans kind of still being alive [storyline] was something that came about later in the development of the series, so we weren\u2019t always sure if Romelle would be part of it, or if Romelle would be in the show but maybe not Altean.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We talked about her also at one point [being] in flashbacks for Allura or something like that. We wanted to work her in in some fashion.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> It wasn\u2019t always crystal clear how she would come in, and so when ultimately the story came about, it was perfect that she would be kind of the mouthpiece for it.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> She sort of replaced Hunk in the sense that Hunk is now kind of used to the crazy adventures, so she\u2019s now the beacon of like, \u201cWhat are we doing here, guys?\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> She\u2019s like what Hunk\u2019s start point was. She\u2019s kind of that whole voice of ridiculousness. She\u2019s fun. I\u2019ve always wanted more female characters that held more of that kind of comedic weight, so Romelle\u2019s a lot of fun to play with in that way.\r\n<h5><b>Staying on the topic of female characters, Lotor\u2019s generals have been fan favorites, and they switch sides a lot. Axca seems to be the most unpredictable, and there have been a few moments where she seems to have a connection with Keith. Specifically in season five, she saves him at the Kral Zera. What\u2019s their relationship all about?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> It\u2019s like a warrior\u2019s respect.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Yeah, it\u2019s like an honor sort of thing. Axca, when we met her, she was on this mission to gather scaultrite from the Weblum, and she was probably going to die in that Weblum\u2019s third stomach, trapped in her ship being digested. Keith saved her, knew she was Galra, but treated her with respect, and she appreciated that. She appreciated that this warrior saved her life regardless [of her Galra race] and treated her with respect the whole time. Even though she had to betray him at the end and take the scaultrite, I think she felt like that person has an honor that\u2019s worthy of saving, so any chance she has to not kill him herself or not let him die, she feels like that\u2019s a quality that needs to continue on in the world. I think that\u2019s a quality that she thought Lotor had and maybe only realized at the end that for Lotor, it was all talk, whereas for Keith, it was apparent through his actions that he really had that honor.\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5>There have been several lighthearted episodes in past seasons that fans have really loved, like \u201cSpace Mall,\u201d \u201cThe Voltron Show!\u201d and \u201cMonsters & Mana.\u201d We now know there will be a game show episode in season seven. How do you come up with the ideas for these fun episodes?<\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We just look to nostalgia that we have from our past or present, and we just say, \u201cHow can we work in a game show episode? How can we work in mermaids? How can we work in D&D?\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Some of it\u2019s really just kind of like, \u201cOh, wouldn\u2019t it be so awesome if we could do this?\u201d Because ultimately, when we\u2019re making the show, there\u2019s a lot of things that we need to do for the story, like Galra attack, Galra attack, and then lions form Voltron. But anytime we get a chance to do something as outrageous as going to a mall or going to a mermaid planet or going on a game show, we really appreciate [it] because we know they\u2019re going to be pretty few and far between. We take those chances when we can.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> They let you see the characters in another light, and I will say specifically for the D&D one, there was a lesson to be had there beyond just playing the game. It was genuinely a team building exercise. They\u2019re not just total throwaways. And then the mall episode, we juxtaposed that against probably one of the more serious storylines with Shiro bonding with the Black Lion.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><b>After season seven, there\u2019s just one more season of <em>Voltron<\/em>. What has this journey been like for you two, and can you give fans any hints as to what\u2019s coming?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> [There\u2019s] good stuff coming. We\u2019re really, really excited for it, and we think it culminates in a really, really meaningful and important way for us personally.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> I think for us, it\u2019s been about a four year long journey of just hard work. It\u2019s been hard. But ultimately we really cared about the show, we believed in the show, and we wanted to do right by it because we were really proud of the show we made and the crew that we were working on it with.

Image courtesy of Click Communications and DreamWorks.[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<em><strong>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/strong><\/em> zeroes in on the rebellion\u2019s best friend squad and the Horde\u2019s evil trio in a second season that emphasizes relationship development and lays the foundation for foreboding future plot lines.\r\n\r\nSeason one of <em>She-Ra<\/em> followed a young woman named Adora (Aimee Carrero), who left behind the diabolical Horde\u2014and her best friend, Catra (AJ Michalka)\u2014in order to protect Etheria as the mythical hero She-Ra. While struggling to understand her new powers, she becomes close friends with a teleporting princess named Glimmer (Karen Fukuhara) and an archer named Bow (Marcus Scribner).\r\n\r\nThe majority of season one focused on the trio\u2019s efforts to recruit other princesses, including Mermista (Vella Lovell), Perfuma (Genesis Rogriguez), and Frosta (Merit Leighton), for the rebellion, but we see much less of these heroines in season two. They appear in a few big battle sequences, but most of the episodes put a spotlight on Adora, Glimmer, and Bow and, on the opposing side, Catra, Scorpia (Lauren Ash), and Entrapta (Christine Woods). Luckily, all six of these characters bring different goals to the table and are extremely likeable\u2014even Entrapta, who I actually wasn\u2019t a fan of in season one.\r\n\r\nWe get to see the bonds between these characters deepen, and perhaps the most significant bond is the one between Scorpia and Catra. Scorpia wants nothing more than to impress Catra and be her best friend, but Catra is busy trying to prove her worth as a force captain. However, there are a couple of sweet moments where Catra softens toward Scorpia, so I\u2019m interested to see how their relationship will continue to develop in season three.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-52063\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Catra_Entrapta_Scorpia.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Catra, Entrapta and Scorpia. Image Courtesy of Click Communications and DreamWorks.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nSpeaking of Catra, her scene with Shadow Weaver (Lorraine Toussaint) in one of the later episodes is one of the most emotionally impactful parts of the season. I don\u2019t want to reveal too much, but it\u2019s simply heart-wrenching to see some of Catra\u2019s core fears and desires once she lets her walls down. Beyond that, the smugness, anger, and angst behind Catra\u2019s dialogue throughout the season makes for an even more complex, intriguing character and highlights the incredible skill of actress AJ Michalka.\r\n\r\nSeason two also develops the relationships between Glimmer and Frosta and between Adora and her horse, Swift Wind (Adam Ray). This was a welcome surprise since we didn\u2019t really get to know Frosta or Swift Wind in season one, but their interactions with Glimmer and Adora are pretty much isolated to just one episode. Also, while I enjoyed these new friendships, I wish season two featured more of Adora and Catra's friends-to-enemies dynamic.\r\n\r\nAgain, I don\u2019t want to reveal too much, but a lot of season two sets up future plot lines that relate to Shadow Weaver, Hordak (Keston John), and the First Ones. These plot lines will surely broaden the overall story and scope of <em>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/em>, meaning our heroes\u2014and villains\u2014will face a whole new level of challenges in future episodes. Overall, season two is a heartfelt, humorous follow-up to season one, and I hope we'll see more interactions between Adora and Catra next season.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Season two of DreamWorks\u2019 <em>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/em> hits Netflix on Friday, April 26.<\/h1>\r\nEdited by: Kelly Conley","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'She-Ra and the Princesses of Power' Season 2","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-she-ra-and-the-princesses-of-power-season-2","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-05-10 20:01:37","post_modified_gmt":"2019-05-11 03:01:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=52059","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":50416,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2018-09-19 18:04:18","post_date_gmt":"2018-09-20 01:04:18","post_content":"<img class=\"wp-image-50423\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/dlss3ysrqnd6sjjmxaji.jpg\" alt=\"avatar-the-last-airbender\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Image via Kotaku[\/caption]\r\n\r\nAfter 100 years in an iceberg and 10 years away from television screens, avatar Aang is coming to Netflix in a live-action <strong><em>Avatar: The Last Airbender<\/em> <\/strong>series.\r\n\r\nThe Netflix Twitter account See What's Next\u00a0broke the news Tuesday and revealed concept art of Aang and his flying bison, Appa.

In the 13 new episodes, characters who have slowly grown into themselves are pushed to their very limits in both mind and body, and in some of the show\u2019s deepest and occasionally darkest moments yet, the stakes are raised to new heights and punches are not pulled.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Spoiler alert!<\/strong><\/p>\r\nTeam Voltron arguably grows closer than ever before this season, both as a team and in individual relationships. For instance, glimpses into Shiro and Keith\u2019s past in \u201cA Little Adventure\u201d leads to further unification between the two in present time and offers fans an explanation as to why they have a brotherly bond. The episode shows that when Keith was young, Shiro believed in him when no one else did and got him into the Galaxy Garrison. Amid the flashbacks, Keith begs Shiro to fight for control of the clone body that\u2019s rejecting his consciousness, leading to Shiro\u2019s return and a tender hug between the two. As Keith said, they have saved each other, and this is an idea that has been seen in previous seasons and was seen throughout the rest of season seven.\r\n\r\nKeith continues to show vulnerability in moments with his mother, especially when she leaves to revive the Blades of Marmora at the end of \u201cThe Ruins.\u201d Keith calls Krolia \u201cmom\u201d for the first time, and they say they love each other before sharing a hug. Keith may always be a bit closed off and reserved when it comes to his emotions, but his interactions with Shiro and Krolia this season have truly shown how far he\u2019s come in terms of opening his heart to others. Keith is easily of the most well-developed characters on the show, and his story has been masterfully told.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-50229\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screenrant.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"317\" \/> Image via Screenrant\/DreamWorks[\/caption]\r\n\r\nIn the second episode, titled \u201cThe Road Home,\u201d the team gets to be like a family in a very relatable, humorous way. There are numerous road trip antics: arguing over which animal companions should go in what lion, Coran driving everyone crazy by singing the Altean alphabet, and Romelle touching everything she can in Lance\u2019s Red Lion. This family dynamic is one that is developed and tested as the season goes on since the team is still adjusting a bit to Keith leading, Allura and Lance piloting new lions, and Shiro being back but on the sidelines. In fact, the paladins almost reach a serious near-breaking point in \u201cThe Journey Within,\u201d which may be the best episode of the season.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe Journey Within\u201d takes a dark dig into the team\u2019s core when they find themselves adrift in space far from their lions. With nothing to do but hold onto each other and wait, they battle loosing their minds. The circumstances take a noticeable toll on Keith, who lashes out and asks foundation-shaking questions about their friendships, such as who they are as a team and what even keeps them together. Such questions have not really surfaced in the show before, and it's jarring in a good way. The questions allow for a bit of soul searching and serve as an obstacle that the paladins clearly need to conquer in order to move forward.\r\n\r\nIn Keith's moments of anger and irrationality, Hunk proves to be the glue that holds the team together. Also, Hunk\u2019s vulnerabilities are made his strengths for a change, as he tells the team that they\u2019re just afraid and not used to that feeling whereas he is and understands what it\u2019s like. Later, when a space creature appears, it is Hunk saying he\u2019ll attack while the others get away that reminds the paladins they are team.\r\n\r\nHunk continues to shine in later episodes, which is a joy to see. Fans have long complained that the yellow paladin has been neglected and given the least character development. Upon the paladins\u2019 return to Earth in \u201cKnow Your Enemy,\u201d Lance and Pidge have beautiful family reunions, but Hunk learns his family has been taken captive. He grapples with feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, and he realizes that his long-held dream of coming home has been shattered. But with Keith\u2019s help, Hunk finally faces his fear and resolves to do whatever he can to help his family in a touching display of strength that fans have been waiting for.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-50188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Image via DreamWorks[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe season finale, titled \u201cLions\u2019 Pride Part 1\u201d and \u201cLions\u2019 Pride Part 2,\u201d was a nail-biting fight to save Earth from Sendak, his Galra soldiers, and an extremely powerful Galra robot. The animation in the fight between Voltron and the Galra robot is stunning, particularly when they fight hand-to-hand with double swords and when they take to the sky. After a massive struggle, the Galra robot is destroyed but set to self-destruct, meaning the paladins have to carry it out into space so the blast doesn\u2019t destroy half of Earth.\r\n\r\nAs they do so, Keith says that it\u2019s been an honor to fly with his team, and in that moment, fans know that the paladins recognize the cost of winning this fight. But when supposed death comes in a swathe of bright light, the defenders of the universe are not afraid. They stare straight ahead with determination and strength, the two things that always keep them going and that keep them alive after the explosion. It is this moment that shows why these characters are some of the best in animation right now and how much they\u2019ve grown as individuals and as a team. Every trial and test in previous seasons prepared them for this moment of potential sacrifice for the greater good, which is something they surely wouldn\u2019t have been as willing to do at the start of their journey.\r\n\r\nBefore the final episode fades to black, it\u2019s revealed that an Altean is the power source of the Galra robot, setting up a new, final mission for season eight. It will be interesting to see how the Altean storyline wraps up and what will be next for the paladins when all the battles are over. But until season eight comes, season seven is a beautiful and exhilarating installment in the Voltron series that can be enjoyed again and again and that proves the show only gets better each season.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">What did you think of season seven of\u00a0<em>Voltron: Legendary Defender<\/em>?<\/h1>","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'Voltron: Legendary Defender' doesn't pull punches in beautiful, exhilarating seventh season","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-voltron-legendary-defender-doesnt-pull-punches-in-beautiful-exhilarating-seventh-season","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-08-10 00:32:04","post_modified_gmt":"2018-08-10 07:32:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=50228","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":50178,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2018-08-08 14:46:46","post_date_gmt":"2018-08-08 21:46:46","post_content":"<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50183\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image005.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\">\r\n\r\nThough the paladins finally defeated Lotor in season six of the hit show <em><strong>Voltron: Legendary Defender<\/strong><\/em>, their fight is far from over as they take on a new challenge\u2014 returning to Earth.\r\n\r\nSeason seven of the DreamWorks series focuses on the heroes' journey home, which is a moment they've all been dreaming of. But when the power hungry Galra attack, Earth becomes something out of a nightmare.\r\n\r\nIn anticipation of the 13 new episodes, I spoke with executive producers Joaquim Dos Santos and Lauren Montgomery about fan favorite Shiro, newcomer Romelle, going back to the paladins' home planet, and much more.\r\n\r\n<em>This interview was edited for length and clarity. There are no spoilers for season seven, but events from season six are discussed.<\/em>\r\n<h5><b>In season six, we learned that the real Shiro\u2019s consciousness was living in the Black Lion after he died and that the Shiro with the team was a clone. How did you plan out that storyline, and did you worry when fans quickly started to guess that Shiro was a clone?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Joaquim Dos Santos:<\/strong> We weren\u2019t really worried. I will say that just from sort of a bigger perspective, there\u2019s so many ideas and story threads that people are speculating on that they kind of get some version of what\u2019s going to happen, regardless.\r\n\r\n<strong>Lauren Montgomery:<\/strong> Between everyone out there, if you were to take a little bit of this person\u2019s theory and a little bit of that person\u2019s theory, they know everything that\u2019s happening. [With clone Shiro,] it was something that ended up happening kind of as a saving effort when we originally were going to have Shiro exit the show and just have the rest of our paladins rise up to fill that space. But then we got word that Shiro was not going to be leaving the show, so we kind of had to [ask], \u2018Ok, what do we do now, how do we keep this guy in the show,\" but without just kicking everyone out of their lions. We put our little thinking caps on and came up with this story, [and] I think early on, it was always an idea that his consciousness was going to be in the Black Lion whether we brought him back as a clone or whether he was just kind of that force that helped Keith along.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We knew that was basically our saving throw\u2013 that we could keep Shiro there, that even if we wanted to wait four seasons and then after that bring him back, we could.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> We brought him back sooner. But to allow our team to continue to grow while still having Shiro around without him being the leader that allows them to not have to grow because he does everything for them, we make him this clone where he\u2019s a little erratic. In that way, most of our characters continue to have to fill in the gaps that are being left by this erratic clone.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><b>Staying on the topic of Shiro, he provides important representation for many fans. He\u2019s an amputee, he seems to have some PTSD, he\u2019s Asian, and it was recently revealed that he\u2019s gay. What was it like constructing his character, and why do you think it was important to give him the qualities you did rather than give them to another character?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> Well, he\u2019s older and he just has more life experience than the other characters. He\u2019s seen more, he\u2019s had interpersonal relationships that were established and ongoing before he ever linked up with our characters.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Some of it just came about because of the story. Like the amputee thing, him being in the Galra gladiator pits and fighting, it was just something that was part of that story and also a cool design element.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> [It\u2019s] superficial as heck, but that was honestly just me saying, \u201cCan we give him a robot arm?\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Sometimes that stuff just happens, but then you also have that wonderful side effect of him being a source of representation for people. I don\u2019t think we initially intended to just give him everything. I think it just kind of ended up working out that way, that these were all cool elements that really worked into his story best. Looking back on it, we certainly made him an amazing beacon of representation.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I think the cool thing is that if you look back and take into consideration everything he\u2019s gone through up to the point where we first meet him and see how strong he is, that makes him even stronger and even cooler.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50185\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image007.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5><b>It seems that Keith will fully assume the leadership role in season seven even though Shiro is back. Keith really struggled with being leader in previous seasons, and though he's grown a lot, does he still have any hesitations?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I don\u2019t think so. I think at this point, we\u2019re pretty safe in assuming that [in] the time he\u2019s spent with his mother, he\u2019s grown a lot. He\u2019s had the time to really accept who he is and what his place is in the world and in the universe, and he\u2019s come to terms with a lot of his demons.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> He\u2019s become a little more settled in himself now that he\u2019s kind of overcome a lot of those demons, and that allows him to trust in himself and in his own judgement. He no longer has that fear of trusting his own judgment and being that leader. He\u2019s had that time away with his mother to kind of learn to trust himself, and so he\u2019s able to kind of bring that to the team now.\r\n<h5><b>You mentioned the time Keith spent with his mother, and during that time he found a space wolf, who was kind of a breakout star in season six. What does that space wolf add to Keith\u2019s life?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> What Keith did with his mother over those two years was like catching up on an entirety of childhood, and he kind of went through that like, \u2018Now here\u2019s your dog. Feed it, wash it, walk it.\u2019 And so he learned that responsibility, being responsible for a life, and now that thing is loyal to him.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I think unconditional love from another creature is a big one, and I think no matter how far Keith has come, he\u2019s still sort of like this lone wolf character. So now he\u2019s got a companion in his cool lone wolf pup.\r\n<h5><b>Coming up in season seven, the paladins are headed back to Earth, where the Galra threat is looming. How did you go about bringing aliens and the consequences of their presence into the real world?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We sort of knew with the storyline that we always wanted to touch on [going back to Earth]. There\u2019s nothing more personal that bringing the fight back to our cast\u2019s home planet. In terms of getting them there, we wanted to make sure that we made it feel natural and like a natural progression of where the battle would go and why the Galra would think in the first place to even go there.\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50186\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image004.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"313\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5><b>Romelle made her debut in season six, and we\u2019ll see more of her in season seven. Did you always know that you wanted to bring Romelle into the show since she was in the original 1980s series? What will she bring to the team dynamic?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> There was always a hope that we could. The whole Alteans kind of still being alive [storyline] was something that came about later in the development of the series, so we weren\u2019t always sure if Romelle would be part of it, or if Romelle would be in the show but maybe not Altean.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We talked about her also at one point [being] in flashbacks for Allura or something like that. We wanted to work her in in some fashion.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> It wasn\u2019t always crystal clear how she would come in, and so when ultimately the story came about, it was perfect that she would be kind of the mouthpiece for it.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> She sort of replaced Hunk in the sense that Hunk is now kind of used to the crazy adventures, so she\u2019s now the beacon of like, \u201cWhat are we doing here, guys?\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> She\u2019s like what Hunk\u2019s start point was. She\u2019s kind of that whole voice of ridiculousness. She\u2019s fun. I\u2019ve always wanted more female characters that held more of that kind of comedic weight, so Romelle\u2019s a lot of fun to play with in that way.\r\n<h5><b>Staying on the topic of female characters, Lotor\u2019s generals have been fan favorites, and they switch sides a lot. Axca seems to be the most unpredictable, and there have been a few moments where she seems to have a connection with Keith. Specifically in season five, she saves him at the Kral Zera. What\u2019s their relationship all about?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> It\u2019s like a warrior\u2019s respect.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Yeah, it\u2019s like an honor sort of thing. Axca, when we met her, she was on this mission to gather scaultrite from the Weblum, and she was probably going to die in that Weblum\u2019s third stomach, trapped in her ship being digested. Keith saved her, knew she was Galra, but treated her with respect, and she appreciated that. She appreciated that this warrior saved her life regardless [of her Galra race] and treated her with respect the whole time. Even though she had to betray him at the end and take the scaultrite, I think she felt like that person has an honor that\u2019s worthy of saving, so any chance she has to not kill him herself or not let him die, she feels like that\u2019s a quality that needs to continue on in the world. I think that\u2019s a quality that she thought Lotor had and maybe only realized at the end that for Lotor, it was all talk, whereas for Keith, it was apparent through his actions that he really had that honor.\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5>There have been several lighthearted episodes in past seasons that fans have really loved, like \u201cSpace Mall,\u201d \u201cThe Voltron Show!\u201d and \u201cMonsters & Mana.\u201d We now know there will be a game show episode in season seven. How do you come up with the ideas for these fun episodes?<\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We just look to nostalgia that we have from our past or present, and we just say, \u201cHow can we work in a game show episode? How can we work in mermaids? How can we work in D&D?\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Some of it\u2019s really just kind of like, \u201cOh, wouldn\u2019t it be so awesome if we could do this?\u201d Because ultimately, when we\u2019re making the show, there\u2019s a lot of things that we need to do for the story, like Galra attack, Galra attack, and then lions form Voltron. But anytime we get a chance to do something as outrageous as going to a mall or going to a mermaid planet or going on a game show, we really appreciate [it] because we know they\u2019re going to be pretty few and far between. We take those chances when we can.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> They let you see the characters in another light, and I will say specifically for the D&D one, there was a lesson to be had there beyond just playing the game. It was genuinely a team building exercise. They\u2019re not just total throwaways. And then the mall episode, we juxtaposed that against probably one of the more serious storylines with Shiro bonding with the Black Lion.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><b>After season seven, there\u2019s just one more season of <em>Voltron<\/em>. What has this journey been like for you two, and can you give fans any hints as to what\u2019s coming?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> [There\u2019s] good stuff coming. We\u2019re really, really excited for it, and we think it culminates in a really, really meaningful and important way for us personally.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> I think for us, it\u2019s been about a four year long journey of just hard work. It\u2019s been hard. But ultimately we really cared about the show, we believed in the show, and we wanted to do right by it because we were really proud of the show we made and the crew that we were working on it with. So as difficult as it\u2019s been, I don\u2019t think we would really change a thing.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> It\u2019s sounds maybe a little hokey to say, but with that much time passing, you basically form relationships that\u2013 moving on you might not see each other everyday\u2013 but these are friendships and relationships that will last forever. So beyond the show itself, that\u2019s really meaningful.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>A big thank you to Joaquim and Lauren for taking the time to do this interview and to DreamWorks for organizing it.

Image courtesy of Click Communications and DreamWorks.[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<em><strong>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/strong><\/em> zeroes in on the rebellion\u2019s best friend squad and the Horde\u2019s evil trio in a second season that emphasizes relationship development and lays the foundation for foreboding future plot lines.\r\n\r\nSeason one of <em>She-Ra<\/em> followed a young woman named Adora (Aimee Carrero), who left behind the diabolical Horde\u2014and her best friend, Catra (AJ Michalka)\u2014in order to protect Etheria as the mythical hero She-Ra. While struggling to understand her new powers, she becomes close friends with a teleporting princess named Glimmer (Karen Fukuhara) and an archer named Bow (Marcus Scribner).\r\n\r\nThe majority of season one focused on the trio\u2019s efforts to recruit other princesses, including Mermista (Vella Lovell), Perfuma (Genesis Rogriguez), and Frosta (Merit Leighton), for the rebellion, but we see much less of these heroines in season two. They appear in a few big battle sequences, but most of the episodes put a spotlight on Adora, Glimmer, and Bow and, on the opposing side, Catra, Scorpia (Lauren Ash), and Entrapta (Christine Woods). Luckily, all six of these characters bring different goals to the table and are extremely likeable\u2014even Entrapta, who I actually wasn\u2019t a fan of in season one.\r\n\r\nWe get to see the bonds between these characters deepen, and perhaps the most significant bond is the one between Scorpia and Catra. Scorpia wants nothing more than to impress Catra and be her best friend, but Catra is busy trying to prove her worth as a force captain. However, there are a couple of sweet moments where Catra softens toward Scorpia, so I\u2019m interested to see how their relationship will continue to develop in season three.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-52063\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Catra_Entrapta_Scorpia.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Catra, Entrapta and Scorpia. Image Courtesy of Click Communications and DreamWorks.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nSpeaking of Catra, her scene with Shadow Weaver (Lorraine Toussaint) in one of the later episodes is one of the most emotionally impactful parts of the season. I don\u2019t want to reveal too much, but it\u2019s simply heart-wrenching to see some of Catra\u2019s core fears and desires once she lets her walls down. Beyond that, the smugness, anger, and angst behind Catra\u2019s dialogue throughout the season makes for an even more complex, intriguing character and highlights the incredible skill of actress AJ Michalka.\r\n\r\nSeason two also develops the relationships between Glimmer and Frosta and between Adora and her horse, Swift Wind (Adam Ray). This was a welcome surprise since we didn\u2019t really get to know Frosta or Swift Wind in season one, but their interactions with Glimmer and Adora are pretty much isolated to just one episode. Also, while I enjoyed these new friendships, I wish season two featured more of Adora and Catra's friends-to-enemies dynamic.\r\n\r\nAgain, I don\u2019t want to reveal too much, but a lot of season two sets up future plot lines that relate to Shadow Weaver, Hordak (Keston John), and the First Ones. These plot lines will surely broaden the overall story and scope of <em>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/em>, meaning our heroes\u2014and villains\u2014will face a whole new level of challenges in future episodes. Overall, season two is a heartfelt, humorous follow-up to season one, and I hope we'll see more interactions between Adora and Catra next season.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Season two of DreamWorks\u2019 <em>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/em> hits Netflix on Friday, April 26.<\/h1>\r\nEdited by: Kelly Conley","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'She-Ra and the Princesses of Power' Season 2","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-she-ra-and-the-princesses-of-power-season-2","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-05-10 20:01:37","post_modified_gmt":"2019-05-11 03:01:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=52059","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":50416,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2018-09-19 18:04:18","post_date_gmt":"2018-09-20 01:04:18","post_content":"<img class=\"wp-image-50423\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/dlss3ysrqnd6sjjmxaji.jpg\" alt=\"avatar-the-last-airbender\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Image via Kotaku[\/caption]\r\n\r\nAfter 100 years in an iceberg and 10 years away from television screens, avatar Aang is coming to Netflix in a live-action <strong><em>Avatar: The Last Airbender<\/em> <\/strong>series.\r\n\r\nThe Netflix Twitter account See What's Next\u00a0broke the news Tuesday and revealed concept art of Aang and his flying bison, Appa.

In the 13 new episodes, characters who have slowly grown into themselves are pushed to their very limits in both mind and body, and in some of the show\u2019s deepest and occasionally darkest moments yet, the stakes are raised to new heights and punches are not pulled.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Spoiler alert!<\/strong><\/p>\r\nTeam Voltron arguably grows closer than ever before this season, both as a team and in individual relationships. For instance, glimpses into Shiro and Keith\u2019s past in \u201cA Little Adventure\u201d leads to further unification between the two in present time and offers fans an explanation as to why they have a brotherly bond. The episode shows that when Keith was young, Shiro believed in him when no one else did and got him into the Galaxy Garrison. Amid the flashbacks, Keith begs Shiro to fight for control of the clone body that\u2019s rejecting his consciousness, leading to Shiro\u2019s return and a tender hug between the two. As Keith said, they have saved each other, and this is an idea that has been seen in previous seasons and was seen throughout the rest of season seven.\r\n\r\nKeith continues to show vulnerability in moments with his mother, especially when she leaves to revive the Blades of Marmora at the end of \u201cThe Ruins.\u201d Keith calls Krolia \u201cmom\u201d for the first time, and they say they love each other before sharing a hug. Keith may always be a bit closed off and reserved when it comes to his emotions, but his interactions with Shiro and Krolia this season have truly shown how far he\u2019s come in terms of opening his heart to others. Keith is easily of the most well-developed characters on the show, and his story has been masterfully told.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-50229\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screenrant.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"317\" \/> Image via Screenrant\/DreamWorks[\/caption]\r\n\r\nIn the second episode, titled \u201cThe Road Home,\u201d the team gets to be like a family in a very relatable, humorous way. There are numerous road trip antics: arguing over which animal companions should go in what lion, Coran driving everyone crazy by singing the Altean alphabet, and Romelle touching everything she can in Lance\u2019s Red Lion. This family dynamic is one that is developed and tested as the season goes on since the team is still adjusting a bit to Keith leading, Allura and Lance piloting new lions, and Shiro being back but on the sidelines. In fact, the paladins almost reach a serious near-breaking point in \u201cThe Journey Within,\u201d which may be the best episode of the season.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe Journey Within\u201d takes a dark dig into the team\u2019s core when they find themselves adrift in space far from their lions. With nothing to do but hold onto each other and wait, they battle loosing their minds. The circumstances take a noticeable toll on Keith, who lashes out and asks foundation-shaking questions about their friendships, such as who they are as a team and what even keeps them together. Such questions have not really surfaced in the show before, and it's jarring in a good way. The questions allow for a bit of soul searching and serve as an obstacle that the paladins clearly need to conquer in order to move forward.\r\n\r\nIn Keith's moments of anger and irrationality, Hunk proves to be the glue that holds the team together. Also, Hunk\u2019s vulnerabilities are made his strengths for a change, as he tells the team that they\u2019re just afraid and not used to that feeling whereas he is and understands what it\u2019s like. Later, when a space creature appears, it is Hunk saying he\u2019ll attack while the others get away that reminds the paladins they are team.\r\n\r\nHunk continues to shine in later episodes, which is a joy to see. Fans have long complained that the yellow paladin has been neglected and given the least character development. Upon the paladins\u2019 return to Earth in \u201cKnow Your Enemy,\u201d Lance and Pidge have beautiful family reunions, but Hunk learns his family has been taken captive. He grapples with feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, and he realizes that his long-held dream of coming home has been shattered. But with Keith\u2019s help, Hunk finally faces his fear and resolves to do whatever he can to help his family in a touching display of strength that fans have been waiting for.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-50188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Image via DreamWorks[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe season finale, titled \u201cLions\u2019 Pride Part 1\u201d and \u201cLions\u2019 Pride Part 2,\u201d was a nail-biting fight to save Earth from Sendak, his Galra soldiers, and an extremely powerful Galra robot. The animation in the fight between Voltron and the Galra robot is stunning, particularly when they fight hand-to-hand with double swords and when they take to the sky. After a massive struggle, the Galra robot is destroyed but set to self-destruct, meaning the paladins have to carry it out into space so the blast doesn\u2019t destroy half of Earth.\r\n\r\nAs they do so, Keith says that it\u2019s been an honor to fly with his team, and in that moment, fans know that the paladins recognize the cost of winning this fight. But when supposed death comes in a swathe of bright light, the defenders of the universe are not afraid. They stare straight ahead with determination and strength, the two things that always keep them going and that keep them alive after the explosion. It is this moment that shows why these characters are some of the best in animation right now and how much they\u2019ve grown as individuals and as a team. Every trial and test in previous seasons prepared them for this moment of potential sacrifice for the greater good, which is something they surely wouldn\u2019t have been as willing to do at the start of their journey.\r\n\r\nBefore the final episode fades to black, it\u2019s revealed that an Altean is the power source of the Galra robot, setting up a new, final mission for season eight. It will be interesting to see how the Altean storyline wraps up and what will be next for the paladins when all the battles are over. But until season eight comes, season seven is a beautiful and exhilarating installment in the Voltron series that can be enjoyed again and again and that proves the show only gets better each season.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">What did you think of season seven of\u00a0<em>Voltron: Legendary Defender<\/em>?<\/h1>","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'Voltron: Legendary Defender' doesn't pull punches in beautiful, exhilarating seventh season","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-voltron-legendary-defender-doesnt-pull-punches-in-beautiful-exhilarating-seventh-season","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-08-10 00:32:04","post_modified_gmt":"2018-08-10 07:32:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=50228","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":50178,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2018-08-08 14:46:46","post_date_gmt":"2018-08-08 21:46:46","post_content":"<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50183\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image005.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\">\r\n\r\nThough the paladins finally defeated Lotor in season six of the hit show <em><strong>Voltron: Legendary Defender<\/strong><\/em>, their fight is far from over as they take on a new challenge\u2014 returning to Earth.\r\n\r\nSeason seven of the DreamWorks series focuses on the heroes' journey home, which is a moment they've all been dreaming of. But when the power hungry Galra attack, Earth becomes something out of a nightmare.\r\n\r\nIn anticipation of the 13 new episodes, I spoke with executive producers Joaquim Dos Santos and Lauren Montgomery about fan favorite Shiro, newcomer Romelle, going back to the paladins' home planet, and much more.\r\n\r\n<em>This interview was edited for length and clarity. There are no spoilers for season seven, but events from season six are discussed.<\/em>\r\n<h5><b>In season six, we learned that the real Shiro\u2019s consciousness was living in the Black Lion after he died and that the Shiro with the team was a clone. How did you plan out that storyline, and did you worry when fans quickly started to guess that Shiro was a clone?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Joaquim Dos Santos:<\/strong> We weren\u2019t really worried. I will say that just from sort of a bigger perspective, there\u2019s so many ideas and story threads that people are speculating on that they kind of get some version of what\u2019s going to happen, regardless.\r\n\r\n<strong>Lauren Montgomery:<\/strong> Between everyone out there, if you were to take a little bit of this person\u2019s theory and a little bit of that person\u2019s theory, they know everything that\u2019s happening. [With clone Shiro,] it was something that ended up happening kind of as a saving effort when we originally were going to have Shiro exit the show and just have the rest of our paladins rise up to fill that space. But then we got word that Shiro was not going to be leaving the show, so we kind of had to [ask], \u2018Ok, what do we do now, how do we keep this guy in the show,\" but without just kicking everyone out of their lions. We put our little thinking caps on and came up with this story, [and] I think early on, it was always an idea that his consciousness was going to be in the Black Lion whether we brought him back as a clone or whether he was just kind of that force that helped Keith along.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We knew that was basically our saving throw\u2013 that we could keep Shiro there, that even if we wanted to wait four seasons and then after that bring him back, we could.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> We brought him back sooner. But to allow our team to continue to grow while still having Shiro around without him being the leader that allows them to not have to grow because he does everything for them, we make him this clone where he\u2019s a little erratic. In that way, most of our characters continue to have to fill in the gaps that are being left by this erratic clone.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><b>Staying on the topic of Shiro, he provides important representation for many fans. He\u2019s an amputee, he seems to have some PTSD, he\u2019s Asian, and it was recently revealed that he\u2019s gay. What was it like constructing his character, and why do you think it was important to give him the qualities you did rather than give them to another character?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> Well, he\u2019s older and he just has more life experience than the other characters. He\u2019s seen more, he\u2019s had interpersonal relationships that were established and ongoing before he ever linked up with our characters.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Some of it just came about because of the story. Like the amputee thing, him being in the Galra gladiator pits and fighting, it was just something that was part of that story and also a cool design element.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> [It\u2019s] superficial as heck, but that was honestly just me saying, \u201cCan we give him a robot arm?\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Sometimes that stuff just happens, but then you also have that wonderful side effect of him being a source of representation for people. I don\u2019t think we initially intended to just give him everything. I think it just kind of ended up working out that way, that these were all cool elements that really worked into his story best. Looking back on it, we certainly made him an amazing beacon of representation.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I think the cool thing is that if you look back and take into consideration everything he\u2019s gone through up to the point where we first meet him and see how strong he is, that makes him even stronger and even cooler.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50185\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image007.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5><b>It seems that Keith will fully assume the leadership role in season seven even though Shiro is back. Keith really struggled with being leader in previous seasons, and though he's grown a lot, does he still have any hesitations?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I don\u2019t think so. I think at this point, we\u2019re pretty safe in assuming that [in] the time he\u2019s spent with his mother, he\u2019s grown a lot. He\u2019s had the time to really accept who he is and what his place is in the world and in the universe, and he\u2019s come to terms with a lot of his demons.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> He\u2019s become a little more settled in himself now that he\u2019s kind of overcome a lot of those demons, and that allows him to trust in himself and in his own judgement. He no longer has that fear of trusting his own judgment and being that leader. He\u2019s had that time away with his mother to kind of learn to trust himself, and so he\u2019s able to kind of bring that to the team now.\r\n<h5><b>You mentioned the time Keith spent with his mother, and during that time he found a space wolf, who was kind of a breakout star in season six. What does that space wolf add to Keith\u2019s life?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> What Keith did with his mother over those two years was like catching up on an entirety of childhood, and he kind of went through that like, \u2018Now here\u2019s your dog. Feed it, wash it, walk it.\u2019 And so he learned that responsibility, being responsible for a life, and now that thing is loyal to him.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I think unconditional love from another creature is a big one, and I think no matter how far Keith has come, he\u2019s still sort of like this lone wolf character. So now he\u2019s got a companion in his cool lone wolf pup.\r\n<h5><b>Coming up in season seven, the paladins are headed back to Earth, where the Galra threat is looming. How did you go about bringing aliens and the consequences of their presence into the real world?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We sort of knew with the storyline that we always wanted to touch on [going back to Earth]. There\u2019s nothing more personal that bringing the fight back to our cast\u2019s home planet. In terms of getting them there, we wanted to make sure that we made it feel natural and like a natural progression of where the battle would go and why the Galra would think in the first place to even go there.\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50186\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image004.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"313\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5><b>Romelle made her debut in season six, and we\u2019ll see more of her in season seven. Did you always know that you wanted to bring Romelle into the show since she was in the original 1980s series? What will she bring to the team dynamic?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> There was always a hope that we could. The whole Alteans kind of still being alive [storyline] was something that came about later in the development of the series, so we weren\u2019t always sure if Romelle would be part of it, or if Romelle would be in the show but maybe not Altean.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We talked about her also at one point [being] in flashbacks for Allura or something like that. We wanted to work her in in some fashion.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> It wasn\u2019t always crystal clear how she would come in, and so when ultimately the story came about, it was perfect that she would be kind of the mouthpiece for it.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> She sort of replaced Hunk in the sense that Hunk is now kind of used to the crazy adventures, so she\u2019s now the beacon of like, \u201cWhat are we doing here, guys?\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> She\u2019s like what Hunk\u2019s start point was. She\u2019s kind of that whole voice of ridiculousness. She\u2019s fun. I\u2019ve always wanted more female characters that held more of that kind of comedic weight, so Romelle\u2019s a lot of fun to play with in that way.\r\n<h5><b>Staying on the topic of female characters, Lotor\u2019s generals have been fan favorites, and they switch sides a lot. Axca seems to be the most unpredictable, and there have been a few moments where she seems to have a connection with Keith. Specifically in season five, she saves him at the Kral Zera. What\u2019s their relationship all about?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> It\u2019s like a warrior\u2019s respect.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Yeah, it\u2019s like an honor sort of thing. Axca, when we met her, she was on this mission to gather scaultrite from the Weblum, and she was probably going to die in that Weblum\u2019s third stomach, trapped in her ship being digested. Keith saved her, knew she was Galra, but treated her with respect, and she appreciated that. She appreciated that this warrior saved her life regardless [of her Galra race] and treated her with respect the whole time. Even though she had to betray him at the end and take the scaultrite, I think she felt like that person has an honor that\u2019s worthy of saving, so any chance she has to not kill him herself or not let him die, she feels like that\u2019s a quality that needs to continue on in the world. I think that\u2019s a quality that she thought Lotor had and maybe only realized at the end that for Lotor, it was all talk, whereas for Keith, it was apparent through his actions that he really had that honor.\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5>There have been several lighthearted episodes in past seasons that fans have really loved, like \u201cSpace Mall,\u201d \u201cThe Voltron Show!\u201d and \u201cMonsters & Mana.\u201d We now know there will be a game show episode in season seven. How do you come up with the ideas for these fun episodes?<\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We just look to nostalgia that we have from our past or present, and we just say, \u201cHow can we work in a game show episode? How can we work in mermaids? How can we work in D&D?\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Some of it\u2019s really just kind of like, \u201cOh, wouldn\u2019t it be so awesome if we could do this?\u201d Because ultimately, when we\u2019re making the show, there\u2019s a lot of things that we need to do for the story, like Galra attack, Galra attack, and then lions form Voltron. But anytime we get a chance to do something as outrageous as going to a mall or going to a mermaid planet or going on a game show, we really appreciate [it] because we know they\u2019re going to be pretty few and far between. We take those chances when we can.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> They let you see the characters in another light, and I will say specifically for the D&D one, there was a lesson to be had there beyond just playing the game. It was genuinely a team building exercise. They\u2019re not just total throwaways. And then the mall episode, we juxtaposed that against probably one of the more serious storylines with Shiro bonding with the Black Lion.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><b>After season seven, there\u2019s just one more season of <em>Voltron<\/em>. What has this journey been like for you two, and can you give fans any hints as to what\u2019s coming?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> [There\u2019s] good stuff coming. We\u2019re really, really excited for it, and we think it culminates in a really, really meaningful and important way for us personally.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> I think for us, it\u2019s been about a four year long journey of just hard work. It\u2019s been hard. But ultimately we really cared about the show, we believed in the show, and we wanted to do right by it because we were really proud of the show we made and the crew that we were working on it with. So as difficult as it\u2019s been, I don\u2019t think we would really change a thing.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> It\u2019s sounds maybe a little hokey to say, but with that much time passing, you basically form relationships that\u2013 moving on you might not see each other everyday\u2013 but these are friendships and relationships that will last forever. So beyond the show itself, that\u2019s really meaningful.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>A big thank you to Joaquim and Lauren for taking the time to do this interview and to DreamWorks for organizing it.

The whole season, in fact, focuses on various relationships: Catra and Glimmer, Catra and Adora, Glimmer and Bow, and Scorpia and Perfuma. These tight bonds are this season's greatest strength, as the moments between various duos bring tons of emotion as well as messages of friendship, forgiveness, strength, and sacrifice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of duos, Netossa and Spinnerella finally get their time to shine this season. After spending the past four seasons in the background, the couple prove themselves to be very powerful on the battlefield. Netossa, in particular, shows her capability for leadership, and she tries to guide her friends while still fighting for her personal goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not much can be said about Catra without spoilers, but she continues to be the best character in this show. Her growth this season is tremendous, but so are the obstacles in her path. She's incredibly complex as she fights to realize what she truly wants and comes to terms with what she's done in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With amazing characters, development, and action, <em>She-Ra<\/em> season five does not disappoint. It's a satisfying close to the series so many have come to love and cements the show in stellar television history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>What are you most excited to see in <em>She-Ra<\/em> season five?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Edited by: Kelly Conley<\/p>\n","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'She-Ra' Season 5 Packs a Powerful Punch","post_excerpt":"Another fantastic season that brings plenty of emotion and high stakes for Adora and friends.","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-she-ra-season-5-packs-a-powerful-punch","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-05-15 19:59:58","post_modified_gmt":"2020-05-16 02:59:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/?p=56600","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":52059,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2019-04-25 10:29:33","post_date_gmt":"2019-04-25 17:29:33","post_content":"<img class=\"wp-image-52062\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/She-Ra-Bow-Glimmer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Glimmer, Adora and Bow. Image courtesy of Click Communications and DreamWorks.[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<em><strong>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/strong><\/em> zeroes in on the rebellion\u2019s best friend squad and the Horde\u2019s evil trio in a second season that emphasizes relationship development and lays the foundation for foreboding future plot lines.\r\n\r\nSeason one of <em>She-Ra<\/em> followed a young woman named Adora (Aimee Carrero), who left behind the diabolical Horde\u2014and her best friend, Catra (AJ Michalka)\u2014in order to protect Etheria as the mythical hero She-Ra. While struggling to understand her new powers, she becomes close friends with a teleporting princess named Glimmer (Karen Fukuhara) and an archer named Bow (Marcus Scribner).\r\n\r\nThe majority of season one focused on the trio\u2019s efforts to recruit other princesses, including Mermista (Vella Lovell), Perfuma (Genesis Rogriguez), and Frosta (Merit Leighton), for the rebellion, but we see much less of these heroines in season two. They appear in a few big battle sequences, but most of the episodes put a spotlight on Adora, Glimmer, and Bow and, on the opposing side, Catra, Scorpia (Lauren Ash), and Entrapta (Christine Woods). Luckily, all six of these characters bring different goals to the table and are extremely likeable\u2014even Entrapta, who I actually wasn\u2019t a fan of in season one.\r\n\r\nWe get to see the bonds between these characters deepen, and perhaps the most significant bond is the one between Scorpia and Catra. Scorpia wants nothing more than to impress Catra and be her best friend, but Catra is busy trying to prove her worth as a force captain. However, there are a couple of sweet moments where Catra softens toward Scorpia, so I\u2019m interested to see how their relationship will continue to develop in season three.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-52063\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Catra_Entrapta_Scorpia.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Catra, Entrapta and Scorpia. Image Courtesy of Click Communications and DreamWorks.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nSpeaking of Catra, her scene with Shadow Weaver (Lorraine Toussaint) in one of the later episodes is one of the most emotionally impactful parts of the season. I don\u2019t want to reveal too much, but it\u2019s simply heart-wrenching to see some of Catra\u2019s core fears and desires once she lets her walls down. Beyond that, the smugness, anger, and angst behind Catra\u2019s dialogue throughout the season makes for an even more complex, intriguing character and highlights the incredible skill of actress AJ Michalka.\r\n\r\nSeason two also develops the relationships between Glimmer and Frosta and between Adora and her horse, Swift Wind (Adam Ray). This was a welcome surprise since we didn\u2019t really get to know Frosta or Swift Wind in season one, but their interactions with Glimmer and Adora are pretty much isolated to just one episode. Also, while I enjoyed these new friendships, I wish season two featured more of Adora and Catra's friends-to-enemies dynamic.\r\n\r\nAgain, I don\u2019t want to reveal too much, but a lot of season two sets up future plot lines that relate to Shadow Weaver, Hordak (Keston John), and the First Ones. These plot lines will surely broaden the overall story and scope of <em>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/em>, meaning our heroes\u2014and villains\u2014will face a whole new level of challenges in future episodes. Overall, season two is a heartfelt, humorous follow-up to season one, and I hope we'll see more interactions between Adora and Catra next season.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Season two of DreamWorks\u2019 <em>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/em> hits Netflix on Friday, April 26.<\/h1>\r\nEdited by: Kelly Conley","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'She-Ra and the Princesses of Power' Season 2","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-she-ra-and-the-princesses-of-power-season-2","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-05-10 20:01:37","post_modified_gmt":"2019-05-11 03:01:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=52059","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":50416,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2018-09-19 18:04:18","post_date_gmt":"2018-09-20 01:04:18","post_content":"<img class=\"wp-image-50423\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/dlss3ysrqnd6sjjmxaji.jpg\" alt=\"avatar-the-last-airbender\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Image via Kotaku[\/caption]\r\n\r\nAfter 100 years in an iceberg and 10 years away from television screens, avatar Aang is coming to Netflix in a live-action <strong><em>Avatar: The Last Airbender<\/em> <\/strong>series.\r\n\r\nThe Netflix Twitter account See What's Next\u00a0broke the news Tuesday and revealed concept art of Aang and his flying bison, Appa.

In the 13 new episodes, characters who have slowly grown into themselves are pushed to their very limits in both mind and body, and in some of the show\u2019s deepest and occasionally darkest moments yet, the stakes are raised to new heights and punches are not pulled.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Spoiler alert!<\/strong><\/p>\r\nTeam Voltron arguably grows closer than ever before this season, both as a team and in individual relationships. For instance, glimpses into Shiro and Keith\u2019s past in \u201cA Little Adventure\u201d leads to further unification between the two in present time and offers fans an explanation as to why they have a brotherly bond. The episode shows that when Keith was young, Shiro believed in him when no one else did and got him into the Galaxy Garrison. Amid the flashbacks, Keith begs Shiro to fight for control of the clone body that\u2019s rejecting his consciousness, leading to Shiro\u2019s return and a tender hug between the two. As Keith said, they have saved each other, and this is an idea that has been seen in previous seasons and was seen throughout the rest of season seven.\r\n\r\nKeith continues to show vulnerability in moments with his mother, especially when she leaves to revive the Blades of Marmora at the end of \u201cThe Ruins.\u201d Keith calls Krolia \u201cmom\u201d for the first time, and they say they love each other before sharing a hug. Keith may always be a bit closed off and reserved when it comes to his emotions, but his interactions with Shiro and Krolia this season have truly shown how far he\u2019s come in terms of opening his heart to others. Keith is easily of the most well-developed characters on the show, and his story has been masterfully told.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-50229\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screenrant.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"317\" \/> Image via Screenrant\/DreamWorks[\/caption]\r\n\r\nIn the second episode, titled \u201cThe Road Home,\u201d the team gets to be like a family in a very relatable, humorous way. There are numerous road trip antics: arguing over which animal companions should go in what lion, Coran driving everyone crazy by singing the Altean alphabet, and Romelle touching everything she can in Lance\u2019s Red Lion. This family dynamic is one that is developed and tested as the season goes on since the team is still adjusting a bit to Keith leading, Allura and Lance piloting new lions, and Shiro being back but on the sidelines. In fact, the paladins almost reach a serious near-breaking point in \u201cThe Journey Within,\u201d which may be the best episode of the season.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe Journey Within\u201d takes a dark dig into the team\u2019s core when they find themselves adrift in space far from their lions. With nothing to do but hold onto each other and wait, they battle loosing their minds. The circumstances take a noticeable toll on Keith, who lashes out and asks foundation-shaking questions about their friendships, such as who they are as a team and what even keeps them together. Such questions have not really surfaced in the show before, and it's jarring in a good way. The questions allow for a bit of soul searching and serve as an obstacle that the paladins clearly need to conquer in order to move forward.\r\n\r\nIn Keith's moments of anger and irrationality, Hunk proves to be the glue that holds the team together. Also, Hunk\u2019s vulnerabilities are made his strengths for a change, as he tells the team that they\u2019re just afraid and not used to that feeling whereas he is and understands what it\u2019s like. Later, when a space creature appears, it is Hunk saying he\u2019ll attack while the others get away that reminds the paladins they are team.\r\n\r\nHunk continues to shine in later episodes, which is a joy to see. Fans have long complained that the yellow paladin has been neglected and given the least character development. Upon the paladins\u2019 return to Earth in \u201cKnow Your Enemy,\u201d Lance and Pidge have beautiful family reunions, but Hunk learns his family has been taken captive. He grapples with feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, and he realizes that his long-held dream of coming home has been shattered. But with Keith\u2019s help, Hunk finally faces his fear and resolves to do whatever he can to help his family in a touching display of strength that fans have been waiting for.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-50188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Image via DreamWorks[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe season finale, titled \u201cLions\u2019 Pride Part 1\u201d and \u201cLions\u2019 Pride Part 2,\u201d was a nail-biting fight to save Earth from Sendak, his Galra soldiers, and an extremely powerful Galra robot. The animation in the fight between Voltron and the Galra robot is stunning, particularly when they fight hand-to-hand with double swords and when they take to the sky. After a massive struggle, the Galra robot is destroyed but set to self-destruct, meaning the paladins have to carry it out into space so the blast doesn\u2019t destroy half of Earth.\r\n\r\nAs they do so, Keith says that it\u2019s been an honor to fly with his team, and in that moment, fans know that the paladins recognize the cost of winning this fight. But when supposed death comes in a swathe of bright light, the defenders of the universe are not afraid. They stare straight ahead with determination and strength, the two things that always keep them going and that keep them alive after the explosion. It is this moment that shows why these characters are some of the best in animation right now and how much they\u2019ve grown as individuals and as a team. Every trial and test in previous seasons prepared them for this moment of potential sacrifice for the greater good, which is something they surely wouldn\u2019t have been as willing to do at the start of their journey.\r\n\r\nBefore the final episode fades to black, it\u2019s revealed that an Altean is the power source of the Galra robot, setting up a new, final mission for season eight. It will be interesting to see how the Altean storyline wraps up and what will be next for the paladins when all the battles are over. But until season eight comes, season seven is a beautiful and exhilarating installment in the Voltron series that can be enjoyed again and again and that proves the show only gets better each season.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">What did you think of season seven of\u00a0<em>Voltron: Legendary Defender<\/em>?<\/h1>","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'Voltron: Legendary Defender' doesn't pull punches in beautiful, exhilarating seventh season","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-voltron-legendary-defender-doesnt-pull-punches-in-beautiful-exhilarating-seventh-season","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-08-10 00:32:04","post_modified_gmt":"2018-08-10 07:32:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=50228","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":50178,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2018-08-08 14:46:46","post_date_gmt":"2018-08-08 21:46:46","post_content":"<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50183\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image005.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\">\r\n\r\nThough the paladins finally defeated Lotor in season six of the hit show <em><strong>Voltron: Legendary Defender<\/strong><\/em>, their fight is far from over as they take on a new challenge\u2014 returning to Earth.\r\n\r\nSeason seven of the DreamWorks series focuses on the heroes' journey home, which is a moment they've all been dreaming of. But when the power hungry Galra attack, Earth becomes something out of a nightmare.\r\n\r\nIn anticipation of the 13 new episodes, I spoke with executive producers Joaquim Dos Santos and Lauren Montgomery about fan favorite Shiro, newcomer Romelle, going back to the paladins' home planet, and much more.\r\n\r\n<em>This interview was edited for length and clarity. There are no spoilers for season seven, but events from season six are discussed.<\/em>\r\n<h5><b>In season six, we learned that the real Shiro\u2019s consciousness was living in the Black Lion after he died and that the Shiro with the team was a clone. How did you plan out that storyline, and did you worry when fans quickly started to guess that Shiro was a clone?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Joaquim Dos Santos:<\/strong> We weren\u2019t really worried. I will say that just from sort of a bigger perspective, there\u2019s so many ideas and story threads that people are speculating on that they kind of get some version of what\u2019s going to happen, regardless.\r\n\r\n<strong>Lauren Montgomery:<\/strong> Between everyone out there, if you were to take a little bit of this person\u2019s theory and a little bit of that person\u2019s theory, they know everything that\u2019s happening. [With clone Shiro,] it was something that ended up happening kind of as a saving effort when we originally were going to have Shiro exit the show and just have the rest of our paladins rise up to fill that space. But then we got word that Shiro was not going to be leaving the show, so we kind of had to [ask], \u2018Ok, what do we do now, how do we keep this guy in the show,\" but without just kicking everyone out of their lions. We put our little thinking caps on and came up with this story, [and] I think early on, it was always an idea that his consciousness was going to be in the Black Lion whether we brought him back as a clone or whether he was just kind of that force that helped Keith along.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We knew that was basically our saving throw\u2013 that we could keep Shiro there, that even if we wanted to wait four seasons and then after that bring him back, we could.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> We brought him back sooner. But to allow our team to continue to grow while still having Shiro around without him being the leader that allows them to not have to grow because he does everything for them, we make him this clone where he\u2019s a little erratic. In that way, most of our characters continue to have to fill in the gaps that are being left by this erratic clone.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><b>Staying on the topic of Shiro, he provides important representation for many fans. He\u2019s an amputee, he seems to have some PTSD, he\u2019s Asian, and it was recently revealed that he\u2019s gay. What was it like constructing his character, and why do you think it was important to give him the qualities you did rather than give them to another character?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> Well, he\u2019s older and he just has more life experience than the other characters. He\u2019s seen more, he\u2019s had interpersonal relationships that were established and ongoing before he ever linked up with our characters.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Some of it just came about because of the story. Like the amputee thing, him being in the Galra gladiator pits and fighting, it was just something that was part of that story and also a cool design element.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> [It\u2019s] superficial as heck, but that was honestly just me saying, \u201cCan we give him a robot arm?\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Sometimes that stuff just happens, but then you also have that wonderful side effect of him being a source of representation for people. I don\u2019t think we initially intended to just give him everything. I think it just kind of ended up working out that way, that these were all cool elements that really worked into his story best. Looking back on it, we certainly made him an amazing beacon of representation.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I think the cool thing is that if you look back and take into consideration everything he\u2019s gone through up to the point where we first meet him and see how strong he is, that makes him even stronger and even cooler.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50185\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image007.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5><b>It seems that Keith will fully assume the leadership role in season seven even though Shiro is back. Keith really struggled with being leader in previous seasons, and though he's grown a lot, does he still have any hesitations?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I don\u2019t think so. I think at this point, we\u2019re pretty safe in assuming that [in] the time he\u2019s spent with his mother, he\u2019s grown a lot. He\u2019s had the time to really accept who he is and what his place is in the world and in the universe, and he\u2019s come to terms with a lot of his demons.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> He\u2019s become a little more settled in himself now that he\u2019s kind of overcome a lot of those demons, and that allows him to trust in himself and in his own judgement. He no longer has that fear of trusting his own judgment and being that leader. He\u2019s had that time away with his mother to kind of learn to trust himself, and so he\u2019s able to kind of bring that to the team now.\r\n<h5><b>You mentioned the time Keith spent with his mother, and during that time he found a space wolf, who was kind of a breakout star in season six. What does that space wolf add to Keith\u2019s life?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> What Keith did with his mother over those two years was like catching up on an entirety of childhood, and he kind of went through that like, \u2018Now here\u2019s your dog. Feed it, wash it, walk it.\u2019 And so he learned that responsibility, being responsible for a life, and now that thing is loyal to him.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I think unconditional love from another creature is a big one, and I think no matter how far Keith has come, he\u2019s still sort of like this lone wolf character. So now he\u2019s got a companion in his cool lone wolf pup.\r\n<h5><b>Coming up in season seven, the paladins are headed back to Earth, where the Galra threat is looming. How did you go about bringing aliens and the consequences of their presence into the real world?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We sort of knew with the storyline that we always wanted to touch on [going back to Earth]. There\u2019s nothing more personal that bringing the fight back to our cast\u2019s home planet. In terms of getting them there, we wanted to make sure that we made it feel natural and like a natural progression of where the battle would go and why the Galra would think in the first place to even go there.\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50186\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image004.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"313\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5><b>Romelle made her debut in season six, and we\u2019ll see more of her in season seven. Did you always know that you wanted to bring Romelle into the show since she was in the original 1980s series? What will she bring to the team dynamic?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> There was always a hope that we could. The whole Alteans kind of still being alive [storyline] was something that came about later in the development of the series, so we weren\u2019t always sure if Romelle would be part of it, or if Romelle would be in the show but maybe not Altean.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We talked about her also at one point [being] in flashbacks for Allura or something like that. We wanted to work her in in some fashion.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> It wasn\u2019t always crystal clear how she would come in, and so when ultimately the story came about, it was perfect that she would be kind of the mouthpiece for it.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> She sort of replaced Hunk in the sense that Hunk is now kind of used to the crazy adventures, so she\u2019s now the beacon of like, \u201cWhat are we doing here, guys?\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> She\u2019s like what Hunk\u2019s start point was. She\u2019s kind of that whole voice of ridiculousness. She\u2019s fun. I\u2019ve always wanted more female characters that held more of that kind of comedic weight, so Romelle\u2019s a lot of fun to play with in that way.\r\n<h5><b>Staying on the topic of female characters, Lotor\u2019s generals have been fan favorites, and they switch sides a lot. Axca seems to be the most unpredictable, and there have been a few moments where she seems to have a connection with Keith. Specifically in season five, she saves him at the Kral Zera. What\u2019s their relationship all about?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> It\u2019s like a warrior\u2019s respect.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Yeah, it\u2019s like an honor sort of thing. Axca, when we met her, she was on this mission to gather scaultrite from the Weblum, and she was probably going to die in that Weblum\u2019s third stomach, trapped in her ship being digested. Keith saved her, knew she was Galra, but treated her with respect, and she appreciated that. She appreciated that this warrior saved her life regardless [of her Galra race] and treated her with respect the whole time. Even though she had to betray him at the end and take the scaultrite, I think she felt like that person has an honor that\u2019s worthy of saving, so any chance she has to not kill him herself or not let him die, she feels like that\u2019s a quality that needs to continue on in the world. I think that\u2019s a quality that she thought Lotor had and maybe only realized at the end that for Lotor, it was all talk, whereas for Keith, it was apparent through his actions that he really had that honor.\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5>There have been several lighthearted episodes in past seasons that fans have really loved, like \u201cSpace Mall,\u201d \u201cThe Voltron Show!\u201d and \u201cMonsters & Mana.\u201d We now know there will be a game show episode in season seven. How do you come up with the ideas for these fun episodes?<\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We just look to nostalgia that we have from our past or present, and we just say, \u201cHow can we work in a game show episode? How can we work in mermaids? How can we work in D&D?\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Some of it\u2019s really just kind of like, \u201cOh, wouldn\u2019t it be so awesome if we could do this?\u201d Because ultimately, when we\u2019re making the show, there\u2019s a lot of things that we need to do for the story, like Galra attack, Galra attack, and then lions form Voltron. But anytime we get a chance to do something as outrageous as going to a mall or going to a mermaid planet or going on a game show, we really appreciate [it] because we know they\u2019re going to be pretty few and far between. We take those chances when we can.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> They let you see the characters in another light, and I will say specifically for the D&D one, there was a lesson to be had there beyond just playing the game. It was genuinely a team building exercise. They\u2019re not just total throwaways. And then the mall episode, we juxtaposed that against probably one of the more serious storylines with Shiro bonding with the Black Lion.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><b>After season seven, there\u2019s just one more season of <em>Voltron<\/em>. What has this journey been like for you two, and can you give fans any hints as to what\u2019s coming?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> [There\u2019s] good stuff coming. We\u2019re really, really excited for it, and we think it culminates in a really, really meaningful and important way for us personally.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> I think for us, it\u2019s been about a four year long journey of just hard work. It\u2019s been hard. But ultimately we really cared about the show, we believed in the show, and we wanted to do right by it because we were really proud of the show we made and the crew that we were working on it with. So as difficult as it\u2019s been, I don\u2019t think we would really change a thing.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> It\u2019s sounds maybe a little hokey to say, but with that much time passing, you basically form relationships that\u2013 moving on you might not see each other everyday\u2013 but these are friendships and relationships that will last forever. So beyond the show itself, that\u2019s really meaningful.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>A big thank you to Joaquim and Lauren for taking the time to do this interview and to DreamWorks for organizing it.

The whole season, in fact, focuses on various relationships: Catra and Glimmer, Catra and Adora, Glimmer and Bow, and Scorpia and Perfuma. These tight bonds are this season's greatest strength, as the moments between various duos bring tons of emotion as well as messages of friendship, forgiveness, strength, and sacrifice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of duos, Netossa and Spinnerella finally get their time to shine this season. After spending the past four seasons in the background, the couple prove themselves to be very powerful on the battlefield. Netossa, in particular, shows her capability for leadership, and she tries to guide her friends while still fighting for her personal goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not much can be said about Catra without spoilers, but she continues to be the best character in this show. Her growth this season is tremendous, but so are the obstacles in her path. She's incredibly complex as she fights to realize what she truly wants and comes to terms with what she's done in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With amazing characters, development, and action, <em>She-Ra<\/em> season five does not disappoint. It's a satisfying close to the series so many have come to love and cements the show in stellar television history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>What are you most excited to see in <em>She-Ra<\/em> season five?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Edited by: Kelly Conley<\/p>\n","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'She-Ra' Season 5 Packs a Powerful Punch","post_excerpt":"Another fantastic season that brings plenty of emotion and high stakes for Adora and friends.","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-she-ra-season-5-packs-a-powerful-punch","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-05-15 19:59:58","post_modified_gmt":"2020-05-16 02:59:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/?p=56600","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":52059,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2019-04-25 10:29:33","post_date_gmt":"2019-04-25 17:29:33","post_content":"<img class=\"wp-image-52062\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/She-Ra-Bow-Glimmer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Glimmer, Adora and Bow. Image courtesy of Click Communications and DreamWorks.[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<em><strong>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/strong><\/em> zeroes in on the rebellion\u2019s best friend squad and the Horde\u2019s evil trio in a second season that emphasizes relationship development and lays the foundation for foreboding future plot lines.\r\n\r\nSeason one of <em>She-Ra<\/em> followed a young woman named Adora (Aimee Carrero), who left behind the diabolical Horde\u2014and her best friend, Catra (AJ Michalka)\u2014in order to protect Etheria as the mythical hero She-Ra. While struggling to understand her new powers, she becomes close friends with a teleporting princess named Glimmer (Karen Fukuhara) and an archer named Bow (Marcus Scribner).\r\n\r\nThe majority of season one focused on the trio\u2019s efforts to recruit other princesses, including Mermista (Vella Lovell), Perfuma (Genesis Rogriguez), and Frosta (Merit Leighton), for the rebellion, but we see much less of these heroines in season two. They appear in a few big battle sequences, but most of the episodes put a spotlight on Adora, Glimmer, and Bow and, on the opposing side, Catra, Scorpia (Lauren Ash), and Entrapta (Christine Woods). Luckily, all six of these characters bring different goals to the table and are extremely likeable\u2014even Entrapta, who I actually wasn\u2019t a fan of in season one.\r\n\r\nWe get to see the bonds between these characters deepen, and perhaps the most significant bond is the one between Scorpia and Catra. Scorpia wants nothing more than to impress Catra and be her best friend, but Catra is busy trying to prove her worth as a force captain. However, there are a couple of sweet moments where Catra softens toward Scorpia, so I\u2019m interested to see how their relationship will continue to develop in season three.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-52063\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Catra_Entrapta_Scorpia.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Catra, Entrapta and Scorpia. Image Courtesy of Click Communications and DreamWorks.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nSpeaking of Catra, her scene with Shadow Weaver (Lorraine Toussaint) in one of the later episodes is one of the most emotionally impactful parts of the season. I don\u2019t want to reveal too much, but it\u2019s simply heart-wrenching to see some of Catra\u2019s core fears and desires once she lets her walls down. Beyond that, the smugness, anger, and angst behind Catra\u2019s dialogue throughout the season makes for an even more complex, intriguing character and highlights the incredible skill of actress AJ Michalka.\r\n\r\nSeason two also develops the relationships between Glimmer and Frosta and between Adora and her horse, Swift Wind (Adam Ray). This was a welcome surprise since we didn\u2019t really get to know Frosta or Swift Wind in season one, but their interactions with Glimmer and Adora are pretty much isolated to just one episode. Also, while I enjoyed these new friendships, I wish season two featured more of Adora and Catra's friends-to-enemies dynamic.\r\n\r\nAgain, I don\u2019t want to reveal too much, but a lot of season two sets up future plot lines that relate to Shadow Weaver, Hordak (Keston John), and the First Ones. These plot lines will surely broaden the overall story and scope of <em>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/em>, meaning our heroes\u2014and villains\u2014will face a whole new level of challenges in future episodes. Overall, season two is a heartfelt, humorous follow-up to season one, and I hope we'll see more interactions between Adora and Catra next season.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Season two of DreamWorks\u2019 <em>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/em> hits Netflix on Friday, April 26.<\/h1>\r\nEdited by: Kelly Conley","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'She-Ra and the Princesses of Power' Season 2","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-she-ra-and-the-princesses-of-power-season-2","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-05-10 20:01:37","post_modified_gmt":"2019-05-11 03:01:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=52059","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":50416,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2018-09-19 18:04:18","post_date_gmt":"2018-09-20 01:04:18","post_content":"<img class=\"wp-image-50423\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/dlss3ysrqnd6sjjmxaji.jpg\" alt=\"avatar-the-last-airbender\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Image via Kotaku[\/caption]\r\n\r\nAfter 100 years in an iceberg and 10 years away from television screens, avatar Aang is coming to Netflix in a live-action <strong><em>Avatar: The Last Airbender<\/em> <\/strong>series.\r\n\r\nThe Netflix Twitter account See What's Next\u00a0broke the news Tuesday and revealed concept art of Aang and his flying bison, Appa.

In the 13 new episodes, characters who have slowly grown into themselves are pushed to their very limits in both mind and body, and in some of the show\u2019s deepest and occasionally darkest moments yet, the stakes are raised to new heights and punches are not pulled.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Spoiler alert!<\/strong><\/p>\r\nTeam Voltron arguably grows closer than ever before this season, both as a team and in individual relationships. For instance, glimpses into Shiro and Keith\u2019s past in \u201cA Little Adventure\u201d leads to further unification between the two in present time and offers fans an explanation as to why they have a brotherly bond. The episode shows that when Keith was young, Shiro believed in him when no one else did and got him into the Galaxy Garrison. Amid the flashbacks, Keith begs Shiro to fight for control of the clone body that\u2019s rejecting his consciousness, leading to Shiro\u2019s return and a tender hug between the two. As Keith said, they have saved each other, and this is an idea that has been seen in previous seasons and was seen throughout the rest of season seven.\r\n\r\nKeith continues to show vulnerability in moments with his mother, especially when she leaves to revive the Blades of Marmora at the end of \u201cThe Ruins.\u201d Keith calls Krolia \u201cmom\u201d for the first time, and they say they love each other before sharing a hug. Keith may always be a bit closed off and reserved when it comes to his emotions, but his interactions with Shiro and Krolia this season have truly shown how far he\u2019s come in terms of opening his heart to others. Keith is easily of the most well-developed characters on the show, and his story has been masterfully told.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-50229\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screenrant.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"317\" \/> Image via Screenrant\/DreamWorks[\/caption]\r\n\r\nIn the second episode, titled \u201cThe Road Home,\u201d the team gets to be like a family in a very relatable, humorous way. There are numerous road trip antics: arguing over which animal companions should go in what lion, Coran driving everyone crazy by singing the Altean alphabet, and Romelle touching everything she can in Lance\u2019s Red Lion. This family dynamic is one that is developed and tested as the season goes on since the team is still adjusting a bit to Keith leading, Allura and Lance piloting new lions, and Shiro being back but on the sidelines. In fact, the paladins almost reach a serious near-breaking point in \u201cThe Journey Within,\u201d which may be the best episode of the season.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe Journey Within\u201d takes a dark dig into the team\u2019s core when they find themselves adrift in space far from their lions. With nothing to do but hold onto each other and wait, they battle loosing their minds. The circumstances take a noticeable toll on Keith, who lashes out and asks foundation-shaking questions about their friendships, such as who they are as a team and what even keeps them together. Such questions have not really surfaced in the show before, and it's jarring in a good way. The questions allow for a bit of soul searching and serve as an obstacle that the paladins clearly need to conquer in order to move forward.\r\n\r\nIn Keith's moments of anger and irrationality, Hunk proves to be the glue that holds the team together. Also, Hunk\u2019s vulnerabilities are made his strengths for a change, as he tells the team that they\u2019re just afraid and not used to that feeling whereas he is and understands what it\u2019s like. Later, when a space creature appears, it is Hunk saying he\u2019ll attack while the others get away that reminds the paladins they are team.\r\n\r\nHunk continues to shine in later episodes, which is a joy to see. Fans have long complained that the yellow paladin has been neglected and given the least character development. Upon the paladins\u2019 return to Earth in \u201cKnow Your Enemy,\u201d Lance and Pidge have beautiful family reunions, but Hunk learns his family has been taken captive. He grapples with feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, and he realizes that his long-held dream of coming home has been shattered. But with Keith\u2019s help, Hunk finally faces his fear and resolves to do whatever he can to help his family in a touching display of strength that fans have been waiting for.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-50188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Image via DreamWorks[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe season finale, titled \u201cLions\u2019 Pride Part 1\u201d and \u201cLions\u2019 Pride Part 2,\u201d was a nail-biting fight to save Earth from Sendak, his Galra soldiers, and an extremely powerful Galra robot. The animation in the fight between Voltron and the Galra robot is stunning, particularly when they fight hand-to-hand with double swords and when they take to the sky. After a massive struggle, the Galra robot is destroyed but set to self-destruct, meaning the paladins have to carry it out into space so the blast doesn\u2019t destroy half of Earth.\r\n\r\nAs they do so, Keith says that it\u2019s been an honor to fly with his team, and in that moment, fans know that the paladins recognize the cost of winning this fight. But when supposed death comes in a swathe of bright light, the defenders of the universe are not afraid. They stare straight ahead with determination and strength, the two things that always keep them going and that keep them alive after the explosion. It is this moment that shows why these characters are some of the best in animation right now and how much they\u2019ve grown as individuals and as a team. Every trial and test in previous seasons prepared them for this moment of potential sacrifice for the greater good, which is something they surely wouldn\u2019t have been as willing to do at the start of their journey.\r\n\r\nBefore the final episode fades to black, it\u2019s revealed that an Altean is the power source of the Galra robot, setting up a new, final mission for season eight. It will be interesting to see how the Altean storyline wraps up and what will be next for the paladins when all the battles are over. But until season eight comes, season seven is a beautiful and exhilarating installment in the Voltron series that can be enjoyed again and again and that proves the show only gets better each season.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">What did you think of season seven of\u00a0<em>Voltron: Legendary Defender<\/em>?<\/h1>","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'Voltron: Legendary Defender' doesn't pull punches in beautiful, exhilarating seventh season","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-voltron-legendary-defender-doesnt-pull-punches-in-beautiful-exhilarating-seventh-season","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-08-10 00:32:04","post_modified_gmt":"2018-08-10 07:32:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=50228","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":50178,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2018-08-08 14:46:46","post_date_gmt":"2018-08-08 21:46:46","post_content":"<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50183\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image005.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\">\r\n\r\nThough the paladins finally defeated Lotor in season six of the hit show <em><strong>Voltron: Legendary Defender<\/strong><\/em>, their fight is far from over as they take on a new challenge\u2014 returning to Earth.\r\n\r\nSeason seven of the DreamWorks series focuses on the heroes' journey home, which is a moment they've all been dreaming of. But when the power hungry Galra attack, Earth becomes something out of a nightmare.\r\n\r\nIn anticipation of the 13 new episodes, I spoke with executive producers Joaquim Dos Santos and Lauren Montgomery about fan favorite Shiro, newcomer Romelle, going back to the paladins' home planet, and much more.\r\n\r\n<em>This interview was edited for length and clarity. There are no spoilers for season seven, but events from season six are discussed.<\/em>\r\n<h5><b>In season six, we learned that the real Shiro\u2019s consciousness was living in the Black Lion after he died and that the Shiro with the team was a clone. How did you plan out that storyline, and did you worry when fans quickly started to guess that Shiro was a clone?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Joaquim Dos Santos:<\/strong> We weren\u2019t really worried. I will say that just from sort of a bigger perspective, there\u2019s so many ideas and story threads that people are speculating on that they kind of get some version of what\u2019s going to happen, regardless.\r\n\r\n<strong>Lauren Montgomery:<\/strong> Between everyone out there, if you were to take a little bit of this person\u2019s theory and a little bit of that person\u2019s theory, they know everything that\u2019s happening. [With clone Shiro,] it was something that ended up happening kind of as a saving effort when we originally were going to have Shiro exit the show and just have the rest of our paladins rise up to fill that space. But then we got word that Shiro was not going to be leaving the show, so we kind of had to [ask], \u2018Ok, what do we do now, how do we keep this guy in the show,\" but without just kicking everyone out of their lions. We put our little thinking caps on and came up with this story, [and] I think early on, it was always an idea that his consciousness was going to be in the Black Lion whether we brought him back as a clone or whether he was just kind of that force that helped Keith along.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We knew that was basically our saving throw\u2013 that we could keep Shiro there, that even if we wanted to wait four seasons and then after that bring him back, we could.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> We brought him back sooner. But to allow our team to continue to grow while still having Shiro around without him being the leader that allows them to not have to grow because he does everything for them, we make him this clone where he\u2019s a little erratic. In that way, most of our characters continue to have to fill in the gaps that are being left by this erratic clone.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><b>Staying on the topic of Shiro, he provides important representation for many fans. He\u2019s an amputee, he seems to have some PTSD, he\u2019s Asian, and it was recently revealed that he\u2019s gay. What was it like constructing his character, and why do you think it was important to give him the qualities you did rather than give them to another character?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> Well, he\u2019s older and he just has more life experience than the other characters. He\u2019s seen more, he\u2019s had interpersonal relationships that were established and ongoing before he ever linked up with our characters.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Some of it just came about because of the story. Like the amputee thing, him being in the Galra gladiator pits and fighting, it was just something that was part of that story and also a cool design element.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> [It\u2019s] superficial as heck, but that was honestly just me saying, \u201cCan we give him a robot arm?\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Sometimes that stuff just happens, but then you also have that wonderful side effect of him being a source of representation for people. I don\u2019t think we initially intended to just give him everything. I think it just kind of ended up working out that way, that these were all cool elements that really worked into his story best. Looking back on it, we certainly made him an amazing beacon of representation.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I think the cool thing is that if you look back and take into consideration everything he\u2019s gone through up to the point where we first meet him and see how strong he is, that makes him even stronger and even cooler.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50185\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image007.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5><b>It seems that Keith will fully assume the leadership role in season seven even though Shiro is back. Keith really struggled with being leader in previous seasons, and though he's grown a lot, does he still have any hesitations?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I don\u2019t think so. I think at this point, we\u2019re pretty safe in assuming that [in] the time he\u2019s spent with his mother, he\u2019s grown a lot. He\u2019s had the time to really accept who he is and what his place is in the world and in the universe, and he\u2019s come to terms with a lot of his demons.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> He\u2019s become a little more settled in himself now that he\u2019s kind of overcome a lot of those demons, and that allows him to trust in himself and in his own judgement. He no longer has that fear of trusting his own judgment and being that leader. He\u2019s had that time away with his mother to kind of learn to trust himself, and so he\u2019s able to kind of bring that to the team now.\r\n<h5><b>You mentioned the time Keith spent with his mother, and during that time he found a space wolf, who was kind of a breakout star in season six. What does that space wolf add to Keith\u2019s life?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> What Keith did with his mother over those two years was like catching up on an entirety of childhood, and he kind of went through that like, \u2018Now here\u2019s your dog. Feed it, wash it, walk it.\u2019 And so he learned that responsibility, being responsible for a life, and now that thing is loyal to him.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I think unconditional love from another creature is a big one, and I think no matter how far Keith has come, he\u2019s still sort of like this lone wolf character. So now he\u2019s got a companion in his cool lone wolf pup.\r\n<h5><b>Coming up in season seven, the paladins are headed back to Earth, where the Galra threat is looming. How did you go about bringing aliens and the consequences of their presence into the real world?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We sort of knew with the storyline that we always wanted to touch on [going back to Earth]. There\u2019s nothing more personal that bringing the fight back to our cast\u2019s home planet. In terms of getting them there, we wanted to make sure that we made it feel natural and like a natural progression of where the battle would go and why the Galra would think in the first place to even go there.\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50186\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image004.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"313\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5><b>Romelle made her debut in season six, and we\u2019ll see more of her in season seven. Did you always know that you wanted to bring Romelle into the show since she was in the original 1980s series? What will she bring to the team dynamic?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> There was always a hope that we could. The whole Alteans kind of still being alive [storyline] was something that came about later in the development of the series, so we weren\u2019t always sure if Romelle would be part of it, or if Romelle would be in the show but maybe not Altean.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We talked about her also at one point [being] in flashbacks for Allura or something like that. We wanted to work her in in some fashion.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> It wasn\u2019t always crystal clear how she would come in, and so when ultimately the story came about, it was perfect that she would be kind of the mouthpiece for it.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> She sort of replaced Hunk in the sense that Hunk is now kind of used to the crazy adventures, so she\u2019s now the beacon of like, \u201cWhat are we doing here, guys?\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> She\u2019s like what Hunk\u2019s start point was. She\u2019s kind of that whole voice of ridiculousness. She\u2019s fun. I\u2019ve always wanted more female characters that held more of that kind of comedic weight, so Romelle\u2019s a lot of fun to play with in that way.\r\n<h5><b>Staying on the topic of female characters, Lotor\u2019s generals have been fan favorites, and they switch sides a lot. Axca seems to be the most unpredictable, and there have been a few moments where she seems to have a connection with Keith. Specifically in season five, she saves him at the Kral Zera. What\u2019s their relationship all about?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> It\u2019s like a warrior\u2019s respect.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Yeah, it\u2019s like an honor sort of thing. Axca, when we met her, she was on this mission to gather scaultrite from the Weblum, and she was probably going to die in that Weblum\u2019s third stomach, trapped in her ship being digested. Keith saved her, knew she was Galra, but treated her with respect, and she appreciated that. She appreciated that this warrior saved her life regardless [of her Galra race] and treated her with respect the whole time. Even though she had to betray him at the end and take the scaultrite, I think she felt like that person has an honor that\u2019s worthy of saving, so any chance she has to not kill him herself or not let him die, she feels like that\u2019s a quality that needs to continue on in the world. I think that\u2019s a quality that she thought Lotor had and maybe only realized at the end that for Lotor, it was all talk, whereas for Keith, it was apparent through his actions that he really had that honor.\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5>There have been several lighthearted episodes in past seasons that fans have really loved, like \u201cSpace Mall,\u201d \u201cThe Voltron Show!\u201d and \u201cMonsters & Mana.\u201d We now know there will be a game show episode in season seven. How do you come up with the ideas for these fun episodes?<\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We just look to nostalgia that we have from our past or present, and we just say, \u201cHow can we work in a game show episode? How can we work in mermaids? How can we work in D&D?\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Some of it\u2019s really just kind of like, \u201cOh, wouldn\u2019t it be so awesome if we could do this?\u201d Because ultimately, when we\u2019re making the show, there\u2019s a lot of things that we need to do for the story, like Galra attack, Galra attack, and then lions form Voltron. But anytime we get a chance to do something as outrageous as going to a mall or going to a mermaid planet or going on a game show, we really appreciate [it] because we know they\u2019re going to be pretty few and far between. We take those chances when we can.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> They let you see the characters in another light, and I will say specifically for the D&D one, there was a lesson to be had there beyond just playing the game. It was genuinely a team building exercise. They\u2019re not just total throwaways. And then the mall episode, we juxtaposed that against probably one of the more serious storylines with Shiro bonding with the Black Lion.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><b>After season seven, there\u2019s just one more season of <em>Voltron<\/em>. What has this journey been like for you two, and can you give fans any hints as to what\u2019s coming?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> [There\u2019s] good stuff coming. We\u2019re really, really excited for it, and we think it culminates in a really, really meaningful and important way for us personally.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> I think for us, it\u2019s been about a four year long journey of just hard work. It\u2019s been hard. But ultimately we really cared about the show, we believed in the show, and we wanted to do right by it because we were really proud of the show we made and the crew that we were working on it with. So as difficult as it\u2019s been, I don\u2019t think we would really change a thing.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> It\u2019s sounds maybe a little hokey to say, but with that much time passing, you basically form relationships that\u2013 moving on you might not see each other everyday\u2013 but these are friendships and relationships that will last forever. So beyond the show itself, that\u2019s really meaningful.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>A big thank you to Joaquim and Lauren for taking the time to do this interview and to DreamWorks for organizing it.

Horde Prime is the greatest opponent Adora and the princesses have ever faced, and his menacing, calculating presence is what really raises the stakes this season. He's chillingly calm and fiercely believes in his cause, and even Catra is visibly afraid of him. He challenges everything our heroes stand for, making him a formidable opponent for the rebellion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Catra-AJ-Michalka-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56603\"\/><figcaption>Image via Netflix and DreamWorks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While stuck on Horde Prime's ship, Catra and Glimmer form a complicated relationship that is wonderful to behold. The whole season, in fact, focuses on various relationships: Catra and Glimmer, Catra and Adora, Glimmer and Bow, and Scorpia and Perfuma. These tight bonds are this season's greatest strength, as the moments between various duos bring tons of emotion as well as messages of friendship, forgiveness, strength, and sacrifice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of duos, Netossa and Spinnerella finally get their time to shine this season. After spending the past four seasons in the background, the couple prove themselves to be very powerful on the battlefield. Netossa, in particular, shows her capability for leadership, and she tries to guide her friends while still fighting for her personal goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not much can be said about Catra without spoilers, but she continues to be the best character in this show. Her growth this season is tremendous, but so are the obstacles in her path. She's incredibly complex as she fights to realize what she truly wants and comes to terms with what she's done in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With amazing characters, development, and action, <em>She-Ra<\/em> season five does not disappoint. It's a satisfying close to the series so many have come to love and cements the show in stellar television history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>What are you most excited to see in <em>She-Ra<\/em> season five?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Edited by: Kelly Conley<\/p>\n","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'She-Ra' Season 5 Packs a Powerful Punch","post_excerpt":"Another fantastic season that brings plenty of emotion and high stakes for Adora and friends.","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-she-ra-season-5-packs-a-powerful-punch","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-05-15 19:59:58","post_modified_gmt":"2020-05-16 02:59:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/?p=56600","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":52059,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2019-04-25 10:29:33","post_date_gmt":"2019-04-25 17:29:33","post_content":"<img class=\"wp-image-52062\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/She-Ra-Bow-Glimmer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Glimmer, Adora and Bow. Image courtesy of Click Communications and DreamWorks.[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<em><strong>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/strong><\/em> zeroes in on the rebellion\u2019s best friend squad and the Horde\u2019s evil trio in a second season that emphasizes relationship development and lays the foundation for foreboding future plot lines.\r\n\r\nSeason one of <em>She-Ra<\/em> followed a young woman named Adora (Aimee Carrero), who left behind the diabolical Horde\u2014and her best friend, Catra (AJ Michalka)\u2014in order to protect Etheria as the mythical hero She-Ra. While struggling to understand her new powers, she becomes close friends with a teleporting princess named Glimmer (Karen Fukuhara) and an archer named Bow (Marcus Scribner).\r\n\r\nThe majority of season one focused on the trio\u2019s efforts to recruit other princesses, including Mermista (Vella Lovell), Perfuma (Genesis Rogriguez), and Frosta (Merit Leighton), for the rebellion, but we see much less of these heroines in season two. They appear in a few big battle sequences, but most of the episodes put a spotlight on Adora, Glimmer, and Bow and, on the opposing side, Catra, Scorpia (Lauren Ash), and Entrapta (Christine Woods). Luckily, all six of these characters bring different goals to the table and are extremely likeable\u2014even Entrapta, who I actually wasn\u2019t a fan of in season one.\r\n\r\nWe get to see the bonds between these characters deepen, and perhaps the most significant bond is the one between Scorpia and Catra. Scorpia wants nothing more than to impress Catra and be her best friend, but Catra is busy trying to prove her worth as a force captain. However, there are a couple of sweet moments where Catra softens toward Scorpia, so I\u2019m interested to see how their relationship will continue to develop in season three.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-52063\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Catra_Entrapta_Scorpia.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Catra, Entrapta and Scorpia. Image Courtesy of Click Communications and DreamWorks.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nSpeaking of Catra, her scene with Shadow Weaver (Lorraine Toussaint) in one of the later episodes is one of the most emotionally impactful parts of the season. I don\u2019t want to reveal too much, but it\u2019s simply heart-wrenching to see some of Catra\u2019s core fears and desires once she lets her walls down. Beyond that, the smugness, anger, and angst behind Catra\u2019s dialogue throughout the season makes for an even more complex, intriguing character and highlights the incredible skill of actress AJ Michalka.\r\n\r\nSeason two also develops the relationships between Glimmer and Frosta and between Adora and her horse, Swift Wind (Adam Ray). This was a welcome surprise since we didn\u2019t really get to know Frosta or Swift Wind in season one, but their interactions with Glimmer and Adora are pretty much isolated to just one episode. Also, while I enjoyed these new friendships, I wish season two featured more of Adora and Catra's friends-to-enemies dynamic.\r\n\r\nAgain, I don\u2019t want to reveal too much, but a lot of season two sets up future plot lines that relate to Shadow Weaver, Hordak (Keston John), and the First Ones. These plot lines will surely broaden the overall story and scope of <em>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/em>, meaning our heroes\u2014and villains\u2014will face a whole new level of challenges in future episodes. Overall, season two is a heartfelt, humorous follow-up to season one, and I hope we'll see more interactions between Adora and Catra next season.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Season two of DreamWorks\u2019 <em>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/em> hits Netflix on Friday, April 26.<\/h1>\r\nEdited by: Kelly Conley","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'She-Ra and the Princesses of Power' Season 2","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-she-ra-and-the-princesses-of-power-season-2","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-05-10 20:01:37","post_modified_gmt":"2019-05-11 03:01:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=52059","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":50416,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2018-09-19 18:04:18","post_date_gmt":"2018-09-20 01:04:18","post_content":"<img class=\"wp-image-50423\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/dlss3ysrqnd6sjjmxaji.jpg\" alt=\"avatar-the-last-airbender\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Image via Kotaku[\/caption]\r\n\r\nAfter 100 years in an iceberg and 10 years away from television screens, avatar Aang is coming to Netflix in a live-action <strong><em>Avatar: The Last Airbender<\/em> <\/strong>series.\r\n\r\nThe Netflix Twitter account See What's Next\u00a0broke the news Tuesday and revealed concept art of Aang and his flying bison, Appa.

In the 13 new episodes, characters who have slowly grown into themselves are pushed to their very limits in both mind and body, and in some of the show\u2019s deepest and occasionally darkest moments yet, the stakes are raised to new heights and punches are not pulled.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Spoiler alert!<\/strong><\/p>\r\nTeam Voltron arguably grows closer than ever before this season, both as a team and in individual relationships. For instance, glimpses into Shiro and Keith\u2019s past in \u201cA Little Adventure\u201d leads to further unification between the two in present time and offers fans an explanation as to why they have a brotherly bond. The episode shows that when Keith was young, Shiro believed in him when no one else did and got him into the Galaxy Garrison. Amid the flashbacks, Keith begs Shiro to fight for control of the clone body that\u2019s rejecting his consciousness, leading to Shiro\u2019s return and a tender hug between the two. As Keith said, they have saved each other, and this is an idea that has been seen in previous seasons and was seen throughout the rest of season seven.\r\n\r\nKeith continues to show vulnerability in moments with his mother, especially when she leaves to revive the Blades of Marmora at the end of \u201cThe Ruins.\u201d Keith calls Krolia \u201cmom\u201d for the first time, and they say they love each other before sharing a hug. Keith may always be a bit closed off and reserved when it comes to his emotions, but his interactions with Shiro and Krolia this season have truly shown how far he\u2019s come in terms of opening his heart to others. Keith is easily of the most well-developed characters on the show, and his story has been masterfully told.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-50229\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screenrant.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"317\" \/> Image via Screenrant\/DreamWorks[\/caption]\r\n\r\nIn the second episode, titled \u201cThe Road Home,\u201d the team gets to be like a family in a very relatable, humorous way. There are numerous road trip antics: arguing over which animal companions should go in what lion, Coran driving everyone crazy by singing the Altean alphabet, and Romelle touching everything she can in Lance\u2019s Red Lion. This family dynamic is one that is developed and tested as the season goes on since the team is still adjusting a bit to Keith leading, Allura and Lance piloting new lions, and Shiro being back but on the sidelines. In fact, the paladins almost reach a serious near-breaking point in \u201cThe Journey Within,\u201d which may be the best episode of the season.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe Journey Within\u201d takes a dark dig into the team\u2019s core when they find themselves adrift in space far from their lions. With nothing to do but hold onto each other and wait, they battle loosing their minds. The circumstances take a noticeable toll on Keith, who lashes out and asks foundation-shaking questions about their friendships, such as who they are as a team and what even keeps them together. Such questions have not really surfaced in the show before, and it's jarring in a good way. The questions allow for a bit of soul searching and serve as an obstacle that the paladins clearly need to conquer in order to move forward.\r\n\r\nIn Keith's moments of anger and irrationality, Hunk proves to be the glue that holds the team together. Also, Hunk\u2019s vulnerabilities are made his strengths for a change, as he tells the team that they\u2019re just afraid and not used to that feeling whereas he is and understands what it\u2019s like. Later, when a space creature appears, it is Hunk saying he\u2019ll attack while the others get away that reminds the paladins they are team.\r\n\r\nHunk continues to shine in later episodes, which is a joy to see. Fans have long complained that the yellow paladin has been neglected and given the least character development. Upon the paladins\u2019 return to Earth in \u201cKnow Your Enemy,\u201d Lance and Pidge have beautiful family reunions, but Hunk learns his family has been taken captive. He grapples with feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, and he realizes that his long-held dream of coming home has been shattered. But with Keith\u2019s help, Hunk finally faces his fear and resolves to do whatever he can to help his family in a touching display of strength that fans have been waiting for.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-50188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Image via DreamWorks[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe season finale, titled \u201cLions\u2019 Pride Part 1\u201d and \u201cLions\u2019 Pride Part 2,\u201d was a nail-biting fight to save Earth from Sendak, his Galra soldiers, and an extremely powerful Galra robot. The animation in the fight between Voltron and the Galra robot is stunning, particularly when they fight hand-to-hand with double swords and when they take to the sky. After a massive struggle, the Galra robot is destroyed but set to self-destruct, meaning the paladins have to carry it out into space so the blast doesn\u2019t destroy half of Earth.\r\n\r\nAs they do so, Keith says that it\u2019s been an honor to fly with his team, and in that moment, fans know that the paladins recognize the cost of winning this fight. But when supposed death comes in a swathe of bright light, the defenders of the universe are not afraid. They stare straight ahead with determination and strength, the two things that always keep them going and that keep them alive after the explosion. It is this moment that shows why these characters are some of the best in animation right now and how much they\u2019ve grown as individuals and as a team. Every trial and test in previous seasons prepared them for this moment of potential sacrifice for the greater good, which is something they surely wouldn\u2019t have been as willing to do at the start of their journey.\r\n\r\nBefore the final episode fades to black, it\u2019s revealed that an Altean is the power source of the Galra robot, setting up a new, final mission for season eight. It will be interesting to see how the Altean storyline wraps up and what will be next for the paladins when all the battles are over. But until season eight comes, season seven is a beautiful and exhilarating installment in the Voltron series that can be enjoyed again and again and that proves the show only gets better each season.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">What did you think of season seven of\u00a0<em>Voltron: Legendary Defender<\/em>?<\/h1>","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'Voltron: Legendary Defender' doesn't pull punches in beautiful, exhilarating seventh season","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-voltron-legendary-defender-doesnt-pull-punches-in-beautiful-exhilarating-seventh-season","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-08-10 00:32:04","post_modified_gmt":"2018-08-10 07:32:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=50228","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":50178,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2018-08-08 14:46:46","post_date_gmt":"2018-08-08 21:46:46","post_content":"<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50183\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image005.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\">\r\n\r\nThough the paladins finally defeated Lotor in season six of the hit show <em><strong>Voltron: Legendary Defender<\/strong><\/em>, their fight is far from over as they take on a new challenge\u2014 returning to Earth.\r\n\r\nSeason seven of the DreamWorks series focuses on the heroes' journey home, which is a moment they've all been dreaming of. But when the power hungry Galra attack, Earth becomes something out of a nightmare.\r\n\r\nIn anticipation of the 13 new episodes, I spoke with executive producers Joaquim Dos Santos and Lauren Montgomery about fan favorite Shiro, newcomer Romelle, going back to the paladins' home planet, and much more.\r\n\r\n<em>This interview was edited for length and clarity. There are no spoilers for season seven, but events from season six are discussed.<\/em>\r\n<h5><b>In season six, we learned that the real Shiro\u2019s consciousness was living in the Black Lion after he died and that the Shiro with the team was a clone. How did you plan out that storyline, and did you worry when fans quickly started to guess that Shiro was a clone?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Joaquim Dos Santos:<\/strong> We weren\u2019t really worried. I will say that just from sort of a bigger perspective, there\u2019s so many ideas and story threads that people are speculating on that they kind of get some version of what\u2019s going to happen, regardless.\r\n\r\n<strong>Lauren Montgomery:<\/strong> Between everyone out there, if you were to take a little bit of this person\u2019s theory and a little bit of that person\u2019s theory, they know everything that\u2019s happening. [With clone Shiro,] it was something that ended up happening kind of as a saving effort when we originally were going to have Shiro exit the show and just have the rest of our paladins rise up to fill that space. But then we got word that Shiro was not going to be leaving the show, so we kind of had to [ask], \u2018Ok, what do we do now, how do we keep this guy in the show,\" but without just kicking everyone out of their lions. We put our little thinking caps on and came up with this story, [and] I think early on, it was always an idea that his consciousness was going to be in the Black Lion whether we brought him back as a clone or whether he was just kind of that force that helped Keith along.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We knew that was basically our saving throw\u2013 that we could keep Shiro there, that even if we wanted to wait four seasons and then after that bring him back, we could.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> We brought him back sooner. But to allow our team to continue to grow while still having Shiro around without him being the leader that allows them to not have to grow because he does everything for them, we make him this clone where he\u2019s a little erratic. In that way, most of our characters continue to have to fill in the gaps that are being left by this erratic clone.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><b>Staying on the topic of Shiro, he provides important representation for many fans. He\u2019s an amputee, he seems to have some PTSD, he\u2019s Asian, and it was recently revealed that he\u2019s gay. What was it like constructing his character, and why do you think it was important to give him the qualities you did rather than give them to another character?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> Well, he\u2019s older and he just has more life experience than the other characters. He\u2019s seen more, he\u2019s had interpersonal relationships that were established and ongoing before he ever linked up with our characters.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Some of it just came about because of the story. Like the amputee thing, him being in the Galra gladiator pits and fighting, it was just something that was part of that story and also a cool design element.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> [It\u2019s] superficial as heck, but that was honestly just me saying, \u201cCan we give him a robot arm?\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Sometimes that stuff just happens, but then you also have that wonderful side effect of him being a source of representation for people. I don\u2019t think we initially intended to just give him everything. I think it just kind of ended up working out that way, that these were all cool elements that really worked into his story best. Looking back on it, we certainly made him an amazing beacon of representation.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I think the cool thing is that if you look back and take into consideration everything he\u2019s gone through up to the point where we first meet him and see how strong he is, that makes him even stronger and even cooler.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50185\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image007.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5><b>It seems that Keith will fully assume the leadership role in season seven even though Shiro is back. Keith really struggled with being leader in previous seasons, and though he's grown a lot, does he still have any hesitations?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I don\u2019t think so. I think at this point, we\u2019re pretty safe in assuming that [in] the time he\u2019s spent with his mother, he\u2019s grown a lot. He\u2019s had the time to really accept who he is and what his place is in the world and in the universe, and he\u2019s come to terms with a lot of his demons.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> He\u2019s become a little more settled in himself now that he\u2019s kind of overcome a lot of those demons, and that allows him to trust in himself and in his own judgement. He no longer has that fear of trusting his own judgment and being that leader. He\u2019s had that time away with his mother to kind of learn to trust himself, and so he\u2019s able to kind of bring that to the team now.\r\n<h5><b>You mentioned the time Keith spent with his mother, and during that time he found a space wolf, who was kind of a breakout star in season six. What does that space wolf add to Keith\u2019s life?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> What Keith did with his mother over those two years was like catching up on an entirety of childhood, and he kind of went through that like, \u2018Now here\u2019s your dog. Feed it, wash it, walk it.\u2019 And so he learned that responsibility, being responsible for a life, and now that thing is loyal to him.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I think unconditional love from another creature is a big one, and I think no matter how far Keith has come, he\u2019s still sort of like this lone wolf character. So now he\u2019s got a companion in his cool lone wolf pup.\r\n<h5><b>Coming up in season seven, the paladins are headed back to Earth, where the Galra threat is looming. How did you go about bringing aliens and the consequences of their presence into the real world?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We sort of knew with the storyline that we always wanted to touch on [going back to Earth]. There\u2019s nothing more personal that bringing the fight back to our cast\u2019s home planet. In terms of getting them there, we wanted to make sure that we made it feel natural and like a natural progression of where the battle would go and why the Galra would think in the first place to even go there.\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50186\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image004.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"313\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5><b>Romelle made her debut in season six, and we\u2019ll see more of her in season seven. Did you always know that you wanted to bring Romelle into the show since she was in the original 1980s series? What will she bring to the team dynamic?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> There was always a hope that we could. The whole Alteans kind of still being alive [storyline] was something that came about later in the development of the series, so we weren\u2019t always sure if Romelle would be part of it, or if Romelle would be in the show but maybe not Altean.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We talked about her also at one point [being] in flashbacks for Allura or something like that. We wanted to work her in in some fashion.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> It wasn\u2019t always crystal clear how she would come in, and so when ultimately the story came about, it was perfect that she would be kind of the mouthpiece for it.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> She sort of replaced Hunk in the sense that Hunk is now kind of used to the crazy adventures, so she\u2019s now the beacon of like, \u201cWhat are we doing here, guys?\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> She\u2019s like what Hunk\u2019s start point was. She\u2019s kind of that whole voice of ridiculousness. She\u2019s fun. I\u2019ve always wanted more female characters that held more of that kind of comedic weight, so Romelle\u2019s a lot of fun to play with in that way.\r\n<h5><b>Staying on the topic of female characters, Lotor\u2019s generals have been fan favorites, and they switch sides a lot. Axca seems to be the most unpredictable, and there have been a few moments where she seems to have a connection with Keith. Specifically in season five, she saves him at the Kral Zera. What\u2019s their relationship all about?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> It\u2019s like a warrior\u2019s respect.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Yeah, it\u2019s like an honor sort of thing. Axca, when we met her, she was on this mission to gather scaultrite from the Weblum, and she was probably going to die in that Weblum\u2019s third stomach, trapped in her ship being digested. Keith saved her, knew she was Galra, but treated her with respect, and she appreciated that. She appreciated that this warrior saved her life regardless [of her Galra race] and treated her with respect the whole time. Even though she had to betray him at the end and take the scaultrite, I think she felt like that person has an honor that\u2019s worthy of saving, so any chance she has to not kill him herself or not let him die, she feels like that\u2019s a quality that needs to continue on in the world. I think that\u2019s a quality that she thought Lotor had and maybe only realized at the end that for Lotor, it was all talk, whereas for Keith, it was apparent through his actions that he really had that honor.\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5>There have been several lighthearted episodes in past seasons that fans have really loved, like \u201cSpace Mall,\u201d \u201cThe Voltron Show!\u201d and \u201cMonsters & Mana.\u201d We now know there will be a game show episode in season seven. How do you come up with the ideas for these fun episodes?<\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We just look to nostalgia that we have from our past or present, and we just say, \u201cHow can we work in a game show episode? How can we work in mermaids? How can we work in D&D?\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Some of it\u2019s really just kind of like, \u201cOh, wouldn\u2019t it be so awesome if we could do this?\u201d Because ultimately, when we\u2019re making the show, there\u2019s a lot of things that we need to do for the story, like Galra attack, Galra attack, and then lions form Voltron. But anytime we get a chance to do something as outrageous as going to a mall or going to a mermaid planet or going on a game show, we really appreciate [it] because we know they\u2019re going to be pretty few and far between. We take those chances when we can.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> They let you see the characters in another light, and I will say specifically for the D&D one, there was a lesson to be had there beyond just playing the game. It was genuinely a team building exercise. They\u2019re not just total throwaways. And then the mall episode, we juxtaposed that against probably one of the more serious storylines with Shiro bonding with the Black Lion.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><b>After season seven, there\u2019s just one more season of <em>Voltron<\/em>. What has this journey been like for you two, and can you give fans any hints as to what\u2019s coming?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> [There\u2019s] good stuff coming. We\u2019re really, really excited for it, and we think it culminates in a really, really meaningful and important way for us personally.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> I think for us, it\u2019s been about a four year long journey of just hard work. It\u2019s been hard. But ultimately we really cared about the show, we believed in the show, and we wanted to do right by it because we were really proud of the show we made and the crew that we were working on it with. So as difficult as it\u2019s been, I don\u2019t think we would really change a thing.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> It\u2019s sounds maybe a little hokey to say, but with that much time passing, you basically form relationships that\u2013 moving on you might not see each other everyday\u2013 but these are friendships and relationships that will last forever. So beyond the show itself, that\u2019s really meaningful.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>A big thank you to Joaquim and Lauren for taking the time to do this interview and to DreamWorks for organizing it.

However, protecting Etheria is a lot harder to do now that She-Ra is gone, as Adora destroyed the mythical hero's sword in season four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The loss of She-Ra couldn't have come at a worse time. Horde Prime is the greatest opponent Adora and the princesses have ever faced, and his menacing, calculating presence is what really raises the stakes this season. He's chillingly calm and fiercely believes in his cause, and even Catra is visibly afraid of him. He challenges everything our heroes stand for, making him a formidable opponent for the rebellion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Catra-AJ-Michalka-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56603\"\/><figcaption>Image via Netflix and DreamWorks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While stuck on Horde Prime's ship, Catra and Glimmer form a complicated relationship that is wonderful to behold. The whole season, in fact, focuses on various relationships: Catra and Glimmer, Catra and Adora, Glimmer and Bow, and Scorpia and Perfuma. These tight bonds are this season's greatest strength, as the moments between various duos bring tons of emotion as well as messages of friendship, forgiveness, strength, and sacrifice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of duos, Netossa and Spinnerella finally get their time to shine this season. After spending the past four seasons in the background, the couple prove themselves to be very powerful on the battlefield. Netossa, in particular, shows her capability for leadership, and she tries to guide her friends while still fighting for her personal goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not much can be said about Catra without spoilers, but she continues to be the best character in this show. Her growth this season is tremendous, but so are the obstacles in her path. She's incredibly complex as she fights to realize what she truly wants and comes to terms with what she's done in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With amazing characters, development, and action, <em>She-Ra<\/em> season five does not disappoint. It's a satisfying close to the series so many have come to love and cements the show in stellar television history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>What are you most excited to see in <em>She-Ra<\/em> season five?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Edited by: Kelly Conley<\/p>\n","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'She-Ra' Season 5 Packs a Powerful Punch","post_excerpt":"Another fantastic season that brings plenty of emotion and high stakes for Adora and friends.","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-she-ra-season-5-packs-a-powerful-punch","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-05-15 19:59:58","post_modified_gmt":"2020-05-16 02:59:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/?p=56600","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":52059,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2019-04-25 10:29:33","post_date_gmt":"2019-04-25 17:29:33","post_content":"<img class=\"wp-image-52062\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/She-Ra-Bow-Glimmer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Glimmer, Adora and Bow. Image courtesy of Click Communications and DreamWorks.[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<em><strong>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/strong><\/em> zeroes in on the rebellion\u2019s best friend squad and the Horde\u2019s evil trio in a second season that emphasizes relationship development and lays the foundation for foreboding future plot lines.\r\n\r\nSeason one of <em>She-Ra<\/em> followed a young woman named Adora (Aimee Carrero), who left behind the diabolical Horde\u2014and her best friend, Catra (AJ Michalka)\u2014in order to protect Etheria as the mythical hero She-Ra. While struggling to understand her new powers, she becomes close friends with a teleporting princess named Glimmer (Karen Fukuhara) and an archer named Bow (Marcus Scribner).\r\n\r\nThe majority of season one focused on the trio\u2019s efforts to recruit other princesses, including Mermista (Vella Lovell), Perfuma (Genesis Rogriguez), and Frosta (Merit Leighton), for the rebellion, but we see much less of these heroines in season two. They appear in a few big battle sequences, but most of the episodes put a spotlight on Adora, Glimmer, and Bow and, on the opposing side, Catra, Scorpia (Lauren Ash), and Entrapta (Christine Woods). Luckily, all six of these characters bring different goals to the table and are extremely likeable\u2014even Entrapta, who I actually wasn\u2019t a fan of in season one.\r\n\r\nWe get to see the bonds between these characters deepen, and perhaps the most significant bond is the one between Scorpia and Catra. Scorpia wants nothing more than to impress Catra and be her best friend, but Catra is busy trying to prove her worth as a force captain. However, there are a couple of sweet moments where Catra softens toward Scorpia, so I\u2019m interested to see how their relationship will continue to develop in season three.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-52063\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Catra_Entrapta_Scorpia.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Catra, Entrapta and Scorpia. Image Courtesy of Click Communications and DreamWorks.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nSpeaking of Catra, her scene with Shadow Weaver (Lorraine Toussaint) in one of the later episodes is one of the most emotionally impactful parts of the season. I don\u2019t want to reveal too much, but it\u2019s simply heart-wrenching to see some of Catra\u2019s core fears and desires once she lets her walls down. Beyond that, the smugness, anger, and angst behind Catra\u2019s dialogue throughout the season makes for an even more complex, intriguing character and highlights the incredible skill of actress AJ Michalka.\r\n\r\nSeason two also develops the relationships between Glimmer and Frosta and between Adora and her horse, Swift Wind (Adam Ray). This was a welcome surprise since we didn\u2019t really get to know Frosta or Swift Wind in season one, but their interactions with Glimmer and Adora are pretty much isolated to just one episode. Also, while I enjoyed these new friendships, I wish season two featured more of Adora and Catra's friends-to-enemies dynamic.\r\n\r\nAgain, I don\u2019t want to reveal too much, but a lot of season two sets up future plot lines that relate to Shadow Weaver, Hordak (Keston John), and the First Ones. These plot lines will surely broaden the overall story and scope of <em>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/em>, meaning our heroes\u2014and villains\u2014will face a whole new level of challenges in future episodes. Overall, season two is a heartfelt, humorous follow-up to season one, and I hope we'll see more interactions between Adora and Catra next season.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Season two of DreamWorks\u2019 <em>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/em> hits Netflix on Friday, April 26.<\/h1>\r\nEdited by: Kelly Conley","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'She-Ra and the Princesses of Power' Season 2","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-she-ra-and-the-princesses-of-power-season-2","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-05-10 20:01:37","post_modified_gmt":"2019-05-11 03:01:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=52059","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":50416,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2018-09-19 18:04:18","post_date_gmt":"2018-09-20 01:04:18","post_content":"<img class=\"wp-image-50423\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/dlss3ysrqnd6sjjmxaji.jpg\" alt=\"avatar-the-last-airbender\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Image via Kotaku[\/caption]\r\n\r\nAfter 100 years in an iceberg and 10 years away from television screens, avatar Aang is coming to Netflix in a live-action <strong><em>Avatar: The Last Airbender<\/em> <\/strong>series.\r\n\r\nThe Netflix Twitter account See What's Next\u00a0broke the news Tuesday and revealed concept art of Aang and his flying bison, Appa.

In the 13 new episodes, characters who have slowly grown into themselves are pushed to their very limits in both mind and body, and in some of the show\u2019s deepest and occasionally darkest moments yet, the stakes are raised to new heights and punches are not pulled.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Spoiler alert!<\/strong><\/p>\r\nTeam Voltron arguably grows closer than ever before this season, both as a team and in individual relationships. For instance, glimpses into Shiro and Keith\u2019s past in \u201cA Little Adventure\u201d leads to further unification between the two in present time and offers fans an explanation as to why they have a brotherly bond. The episode shows that when Keith was young, Shiro believed in him when no one else did and got him into the Galaxy Garrison. Amid the flashbacks, Keith begs Shiro to fight for control of the clone body that\u2019s rejecting his consciousness, leading to Shiro\u2019s return and a tender hug between the two. As Keith said, they have saved each other, and this is an idea that has been seen in previous seasons and was seen throughout the rest of season seven.\r\n\r\nKeith continues to show vulnerability in moments with his mother, especially when she leaves to revive the Blades of Marmora at the end of \u201cThe Ruins.\u201d Keith calls Krolia \u201cmom\u201d for the first time, and they say they love each other before sharing a hug. Keith may always be a bit closed off and reserved when it comes to his emotions, but his interactions with Shiro and Krolia this season have truly shown how far he\u2019s come in terms of opening his heart to others. Keith is easily of the most well-developed characters on the show, and his story has been masterfully told.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-50229\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screenrant.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"317\" \/> Image via Screenrant\/DreamWorks[\/caption]\r\n\r\nIn the second episode, titled \u201cThe Road Home,\u201d the team gets to be like a family in a very relatable, humorous way. There are numerous road trip antics: arguing over which animal companions should go in what lion, Coran driving everyone crazy by singing the Altean alphabet, and Romelle touching everything she can in Lance\u2019s Red Lion. This family dynamic is one that is developed and tested as the season goes on since the team is still adjusting a bit to Keith leading, Allura and Lance piloting new lions, and Shiro being back but on the sidelines. In fact, the paladins almost reach a serious near-breaking point in \u201cThe Journey Within,\u201d which may be the best episode of the season.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe Journey Within\u201d takes a dark dig into the team\u2019s core when they find themselves adrift in space far from their lions. With nothing to do but hold onto each other and wait, they battle loosing their minds. The circumstances take a noticeable toll on Keith, who lashes out and asks foundation-shaking questions about their friendships, such as who they are as a team and what even keeps them together. Such questions have not really surfaced in the show before, and it's jarring in a good way. The questions allow for a bit of soul searching and serve as an obstacle that the paladins clearly need to conquer in order to move forward.\r\n\r\nIn Keith's moments of anger and irrationality, Hunk proves to be the glue that holds the team together. Also, Hunk\u2019s vulnerabilities are made his strengths for a change, as he tells the team that they\u2019re just afraid and not used to that feeling whereas he is and understands what it\u2019s like. Later, when a space creature appears, it is Hunk saying he\u2019ll attack while the others get away that reminds the paladins they are team.\r\n\r\nHunk continues to shine in later episodes, which is a joy to see. Fans have long complained that the yellow paladin has been neglected and given the least character development. Upon the paladins\u2019 return to Earth in \u201cKnow Your Enemy,\u201d Lance and Pidge have beautiful family reunions, but Hunk learns his family has been taken captive. He grapples with feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, and he realizes that his long-held dream of coming home has been shattered. But with Keith\u2019s help, Hunk finally faces his fear and resolves to do whatever he can to help his family in a touching display of strength that fans have been waiting for.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-50188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Image via DreamWorks[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe season finale, titled \u201cLions\u2019 Pride Part 1\u201d and \u201cLions\u2019 Pride Part 2,\u201d was a nail-biting fight to save Earth from Sendak, his Galra soldiers, and an extremely powerful Galra robot. The animation in the fight between Voltron and the Galra robot is stunning, particularly when they fight hand-to-hand with double swords and when they take to the sky. After a massive struggle, the Galra robot is destroyed but set to self-destruct, meaning the paladins have to carry it out into space so the blast doesn\u2019t destroy half of Earth.\r\n\r\nAs they do so, Keith says that it\u2019s been an honor to fly with his team, and in that moment, fans know that the paladins recognize the cost of winning this fight. But when supposed death comes in a swathe of bright light, the defenders of the universe are not afraid. They stare straight ahead with determination and strength, the two things that always keep them going and that keep them alive after the explosion. It is this moment that shows why these characters are some of the best in animation right now and how much they\u2019ve grown as individuals and as a team. Every trial and test in previous seasons prepared them for this moment of potential sacrifice for the greater good, which is something they surely wouldn\u2019t have been as willing to do at the start of their journey.\r\n\r\nBefore the final episode fades to black, it\u2019s revealed that an Altean is the power source of the Galra robot, setting up a new, final mission for season eight. It will be interesting to see how the Altean storyline wraps up and what will be next for the paladins when all the battles are over. But until season eight comes, season seven is a beautiful and exhilarating installment in the Voltron series that can be enjoyed again and again and that proves the show only gets better each season.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">What did you think of season seven of\u00a0<em>Voltron: Legendary Defender<\/em>?<\/h1>","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'Voltron: Legendary Defender' doesn't pull punches in beautiful, exhilarating seventh season","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-voltron-legendary-defender-doesnt-pull-punches-in-beautiful-exhilarating-seventh-season","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-08-10 00:32:04","post_modified_gmt":"2018-08-10 07:32:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=50228","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":50178,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2018-08-08 14:46:46","post_date_gmt":"2018-08-08 21:46:46","post_content":"<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50183\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image005.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\">\r\n\r\nThough the paladins finally defeated Lotor in season six of the hit show <em><strong>Voltron: Legendary Defender<\/strong><\/em>, their fight is far from over as they take on a new challenge\u2014 returning to Earth.\r\n\r\nSeason seven of the DreamWorks series focuses on the heroes' journey home, which is a moment they've all been dreaming of. But when the power hungry Galra attack, Earth becomes something out of a nightmare.\r\n\r\nIn anticipation of the 13 new episodes, I spoke with executive producers Joaquim Dos Santos and Lauren Montgomery about fan favorite Shiro, newcomer Romelle, going back to the paladins' home planet, and much more.\r\n\r\n<em>This interview was edited for length and clarity. There are no spoilers for season seven, but events from season six are discussed.<\/em>\r\n<h5><b>In season six, we learned that the real Shiro\u2019s consciousness was living in the Black Lion after he died and that the Shiro with the team was a clone. How did you plan out that storyline, and did you worry when fans quickly started to guess that Shiro was a clone?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Joaquim Dos Santos:<\/strong> We weren\u2019t really worried. I will say that just from sort of a bigger perspective, there\u2019s so many ideas and story threads that people are speculating on that they kind of get some version of what\u2019s going to happen, regardless.\r\n\r\n<strong>Lauren Montgomery:<\/strong> Between everyone out there, if you were to take a little bit of this person\u2019s theory and a little bit of that person\u2019s theory, they know everything that\u2019s happening. [With clone Shiro,] it was something that ended up happening kind of as a saving effort when we originally were going to have Shiro exit the show and just have the rest of our paladins rise up to fill that space. But then we got word that Shiro was not going to be leaving the show, so we kind of had to [ask], \u2018Ok, what do we do now, how do we keep this guy in the show,\" but without just kicking everyone out of their lions. We put our little thinking caps on and came up with this story, [and] I think early on, it was always an idea that his consciousness was going to be in the Black Lion whether we brought him back as a clone or whether he was just kind of that force that helped Keith along.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We knew that was basically our saving throw\u2013 that we could keep Shiro there, that even if we wanted to wait four seasons and then after that bring him back, we could.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> We brought him back sooner. But to allow our team to continue to grow while still having Shiro around without him being the leader that allows them to not have to grow because he does everything for them, we make him this clone where he\u2019s a little erratic. In that way, most of our characters continue to have to fill in the gaps that are being left by this erratic clone.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><b>Staying on the topic of Shiro, he provides important representation for many fans. He\u2019s an amputee, he seems to have some PTSD, he\u2019s Asian, and it was recently revealed that he\u2019s gay. What was it like constructing his character, and why do you think it was important to give him the qualities you did rather than give them to another character?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> Well, he\u2019s older and he just has more life experience than the other characters. He\u2019s seen more, he\u2019s had interpersonal relationships that were established and ongoing before he ever linked up with our characters.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Some of it just came about because of the story. Like the amputee thing, him being in the Galra gladiator pits and fighting, it was just something that was part of that story and also a cool design element.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> [It\u2019s] superficial as heck, but that was honestly just me saying, \u201cCan we give him a robot arm?\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Sometimes that stuff just happens, but then you also have that wonderful side effect of him being a source of representation for people. I don\u2019t think we initially intended to just give him everything. I think it just kind of ended up working out that way, that these were all cool elements that really worked into his story best. Looking back on it, we certainly made him an amazing beacon of representation.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I think the cool thing is that if you look back and take into consideration everything he\u2019s gone through up to the point where we first meet him and see how strong he is, that makes him even stronger and even cooler.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50185\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image007.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5><b>It seems that Keith will fully assume the leadership role in season seven even though Shiro is back. Keith really struggled with being leader in previous seasons, and though he's grown a lot, does he still have any hesitations?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I don\u2019t think so. I think at this point, we\u2019re pretty safe in assuming that [in] the time he\u2019s spent with his mother, he\u2019s grown a lot. He\u2019s had the time to really accept who he is and what his place is in the world and in the universe, and he\u2019s come to terms with a lot of his demons.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> He\u2019s become a little more settled in himself now that he\u2019s kind of overcome a lot of those demons, and that allows him to trust in himself and in his own judgement. He no longer has that fear of trusting his own judgment and being that leader. He\u2019s had that time away with his mother to kind of learn to trust himself, and so he\u2019s able to kind of bring that to the team now.\r\n<h5><b>You mentioned the time Keith spent with his mother, and during that time he found a space wolf, who was kind of a breakout star in season six. What does that space wolf add to Keith\u2019s life?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> What Keith did with his mother over those two years was like catching up on an entirety of childhood, and he kind of went through that like, \u2018Now here\u2019s your dog. Feed it, wash it, walk it.\u2019 And so he learned that responsibility, being responsible for a life, and now that thing is loyal to him.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I think unconditional love from another creature is a big one, and I think no matter how far Keith has come, he\u2019s still sort of like this lone wolf character. So now he\u2019s got a companion in his cool lone wolf pup.\r\n<h5><b>Coming up in season seven, the paladins are headed back to Earth, where the Galra threat is looming. How did you go about bringing aliens and the consequences of their presence into the real world?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We sort of knew with the storyline that we always wanted to touch on [going back to Earth]. There\u2019s nothing more personal that bringing the fight back to our cast\u2019s home planet. In terms of getting them there, we wanted to make sure that we made it feel natural and like a natural progression of where the battle would go and why the Galra would think in the first place to even go there.\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50186\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image004.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"313\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5><b>Romelle made her debut in season six, and we\u2019ll see more of her in season seven. Did you always know that you wanted to bring Romelle into the show since she was in the original 1980s series? What will she bring to the team dynamic?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> There was always a hope that we could. The whole Alteans kind of still being alive [storyline] was something that came about later in the development of the series, so we weren\u2019t always sure if Romelle would be part of it, or if Romelle would be in the show but maybe not Altean.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We talked about her also at one point [being] in flashbacks for Allura or something like that. We wanted to work her in in some fashion.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> It wasn\u2019t always crystal clear how she would come in, and so when ultimately the story came about, it was perfect that she would be kind of the mouthpiece for it.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> She sort of replaced Hunk in the sense that Hunk is now kind of used to the crazy adventures, so she\u2019s now the beacon of like, \u201cWhat are we doing here, guys?\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> She\u2019s like what Hunk\u2019s start point was. She\u2019s kind of that whole voice of ridiculousness. She\u2019s fun. I\u2019ve always wanted more female characters that held more of that kind of comedic weight, so Romelle\u2019s a lot of fun to play with in that way.\r\n<h5><b>Staying on the topic of female characters, Lotor\u2019s generals have been fan favorites, and they switch sides a lot. Axca seems to be the most unpredictable, and there have been a few moments where she seems to have a connection with Keith. Specifically in season five, she saves him at the Kral Zera. What\u2019s their relationship all about?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> It\u2019s like a warrior\u2019s respect.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Yeah, it\u2019s like an honor sort of thing. Axca, when we met her, she was on this mission to gather scaultrite from the Weblum, and she was probably going to die in that Weblum\u2019s third stomach, trapped in her ship being digested. Keith saved her, knew she was Galra, but treated her with respect, and she appreciated that. She appreciated that this warrior saved her life regardless [of her Galra race] and treated her with respect the whole time. Even though she had to betray him at the end and take the scaultrite, I think she felt like that person has an honor that\u2019s worthy of saving, so any chance she has to not kill him herself or not let him die, she feels like that\u2019s a quality that needs to continue on in the world. I think that\u2019s a quality that she thought Lotor had and maybe only realized at the end that for Lotor, it was all talk, whereas for Keith, it was apparent through his actions that he really had that honor.\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5>There have been several lighthearted episodes in past seasons that fans have really loved, like \u201cSpace Mall,\u201d \u201cThe Voltron Show!\u201d and \u201cMonsters & Mana.\u201d We now know there will be a game show episode in season seven. How do you come up with the ideas for these fun episodes?<\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We just look to nostalgia that we have from our past or present, and we just say, \u201cHow can we work in a game show episode? How can we work in mermaids? How can we work in D&D?\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Some of it\u2019s really just kind of like, \u201cOh, wouldn\u2019t it be so awesome if we could do this?\u201d Because ultimately, when we\u2019re making the show, there\u2019s a lot of things that we need to do for the story, like Galra attack, Galra attack, and then lions form Voltron. But anytime we get a chance to do something as outrageous as going to a mall or going to a mermaid planet or going on a game show, we really appreciate [it] because we know they\u2019re going to be pretty few and far between. We take those chances when we can.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> They let you see the characters in another light, and I will say specifically for the D&D one, there was a lesson to be had there beyond just playing the game. It was genuinely a team building exercise. They\u2019re not just total throwaways. And then the mall episode, we juxtaposed that against probably one of the more serious storylines with Shiro bonding with the Black Lion.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><b>After season seven, there\u2019s just one more season of <em>Voltron<\/em>. What has this journey been like for you two, and can you give fans any hints as to what\u2019s coming?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> [There\u2019s] good stuff coming. We\u2019re really, really excited for it, and we think it culminates in a really, really meaningful and important way for us personally.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> I think for us, it\u2019s been about a four year long journey of just hard work. It\u2019s been hard. But ultimately we really cared about the show, we believed in the show, and we wanted to do right by it because we were really proud of the show we made and the crew that we were working on it with. So as difficult as it\u2019s been, I don\u2019t think we would really change a thing.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> It\u2019s sounds maybe a little hokey to say, but with that much time passing, you basically form relationships that\u2013 moving on you might not see each other everyday\u2013 but these are friendships and relationships that will last forever. So beyond the show itself, that\u2019s really meaningful.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>A big thank you to Joaquim and Lauren for taking the time to do this interview and to DreamWorks for organizing it.

However, protecting Etheria is a lot harder to do now that She-Ra is gone, as Adora destroyed the mythical hero's sword in season four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The loss of She-Ra couldn't have come at a worse time. Horde Prime is the greatest opponent Adora and the princesses have ever faced, and his menacing, calculating presence is what really raises the stakes this season. He's chillingly calm and fiercely believes in his cause, and even Catra is visibly afraid of him. He challenges everything our heroes stand for, making him a formidable opponent for the rebellion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Catra-AJ-Michalka-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56603\"\/><figcaption>Image via Netflix and DreamWorks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While stuck on Horde Prime's ship, Catra and Glimmer form a complicated relationship that is wonderful to behold. The whole season, in fact, focuses on various relationships: Catra and Glimmer, Catra and Adora, Glimmer and Bow, and Scorpia and Perfuma. These tight bonds are this season's greatest strength, as the moments between various duos bring tons of emotion as well as messages of friendship, forgiveness, strength, and sacrifice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of duos, Netossa and Spinnerella finally get their time to shine this season. After spending the past four seasons in the background, the couple prove themselves to be very powerful on the battlefield. Netossa, in particular, shows her capability for leadership, and she tries to guide her friends while still fighting for her personal goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not much can be said about Catra without spoilers, but she continues to be the best character in this show. Her growth this season is tremendous, but so are the obstacles in her path. She's incredibly complex as she fights to realize what she truly wants and comes to terms with what she's done in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With amazing characters, development, and action, <em>She-Ra<\/em> season five does not disappoint. It's a satisfying close to the series so many have come to love and cements the show in stellar television history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>What are you most excited to see in <em>She-Ra<\/em> season five?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Edited by: Kelly Conley<\/p>\n","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'She-Ra' Season 5 Packs a Powerful Punch","post_excerpt":"Another fantastic season that brings plenty of emotion and high stakes for Adora and friends.","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-she-ra-season-5-packs-a-powerful-punch","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-05-15 19:59:58","post_modified_gmt":"2020-05-16 02:59:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/?p=56600","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":52059,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2019-04-25 10:29:33","post_date_gmt":"2019-04-25 17:29:33","post_content":"<img class=\"wp-image-52062\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/She-Ra-Bow-Glimmer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Glimmer, Adora and Bow. Image courtesy of Click Communications and DreamWorks.[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<em><strong>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/strong><\/em> zeroes in on the rebellion\u2019s best friend squad and the Horde\u2019s evil trio in a second season that emphasizes relationship development and lays the foundation for foreboding future plot lines.\r\n\r\nSeason one of <em>She-Ra<\/em> followed a young woman named Adora (Aimee Carrero), who left behind the diabolical Horde\u2014and her best friend, Catra (AJ Michalka)\u2014in order to protect Etheria as the mythical hero She-Ra. While struggling to understand her new powers, she becomes close friends with a teleporting princess named Glimmer (Karen Fukuhara) and an archer named Bow (Marcus Scribner).\r\n\r\nThe majority of season one focused on the trio\u2019s efforts to recruit other princesses, including Mermista (Vella Lovell), Perfuma (Genesis Rogriguez), and Frosta (Merit Leighton), for the rebellion, but we see much less of these heroines in season two. They appear in a few big battle sequences, but most of the episodes put a spotlight on Adora, Glimmer, and Bow and, on the opposing side, Catra, Scorpia (Lauren Ash), and Entrapta (Christine Woods). Luckily, all six of these characters bring different goals to the table and are extremely likeable\u2014even Entrapta, who I actually wasn\u2019t a fan of in season one.\r\n\r\nWe get to see the bonds between these characters deepen, and perhaps the most significant bond is the one between Scorpia and Catra. Scorpia wants nothing more than to impress Catra and be her best friend, but Catra is busy trying to prove her worth as a force captain. However, there are a couple of sweet moments where Catra softens toward Scorpia, so I\u2019m interested to see how their relationship will continue to develop in season three.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-52063\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Catra_Entrapta_Scorpia.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Catra, Entrapta and Scorpia. Image Courtesy of Click Communications and DreamWorks.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nSpeaking of Catra, her scene with Shadow Weaver (Lorraine Toussaint) in one of the later episodes is one of the most emotionally impactful parts of the season. I don\u2019t want to reveal too much, but it\u2019s simply heart-wrenching to see some of Catra\u2019s core fears and desires once she lets her walls down. Beyond that, the smugness, anger, and angst behind Catra\u2019s dialogue throughout the season makes for an even more complex, intriguing character and highlights the incredible skill of actress AJ Michalka.\r\n\r\nSeason two also develops the relationships between Glimmer and Frosta and between Adora and her horse, Swift Wind (Adam Ray). This was a welcome surprise since we didn\u2019t really get to know Frosta or Swift Wind in season one, but their interactions with Glimmer and Adora are pretty much isolated to just one episode. Also, while I enjoyed these new friendships, I wish season two featured more of Adora and Catra's friends-to-enemies dynamic.\r\n\r\nAgain, I don\u2019t want to reveal too much, but a lot of season two sets up future plot lines that relate to Shadow Weaver, Hordak (Keston John), and the First Ones. These plot lines will surely broaden the overall story and scope of <em>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/em>, meaning our heroes\u2014and villains\u2014will face a whole new level of challenges in future episodes. Overall, season two is a heartfelt, humorous follow-up to season one, and I hope we'll see more interactions between Adora and Catra next season.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Season two of DreamWorks\u2019 <em>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/em> hits Netflix on Friday, April 26.<\/h1>\r\nEdited by: Kelly Conley","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'She-Ra and the Princesses of Power' Season 2","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-she-ra-and-the-princesses-of-power-season-2","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-05-10 20:01:37","post_modified_gmt":"2019-05-11 03:01:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=52059","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":50416,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2018-09-19 18:04:18","post_date_gmt":"2018-09-20 01:04:18","post_content":"<img class=\"wp-image-50423\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/dlss3ysrqnd6sjjmxaji.jpg\" alt=\"avatar-the-last-airbender\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Image via Kotaku[\/caption]\r\n\r\nAfter 100 years in an iceberg and 10 years away from television screens, avatar Aang is coming to Netflix in a live-action <strong><em>Avatar: The Last Airbender<\/em> <\/strong>series.\r\n\r\nThe Netflix Twitter account See What's Next\u00a0broke the news Tuesday and revealed concept art of Aang and his flying bison, Appa.

In the 13 new episodes, characters who have slowly grown into themselves are pushed to their very limits in both mind and body, and in some of the show\u2019s deepest and occasionally darkest moments yet, the stakes are raised to new heights and punches are not pulled.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Spoiler alert!<\/strong><\/p>\r\nTeam Voltron arguably grows closer than ever before this season, both as a team and in individual relationships. For instance, glimpses into Shiro and Keith\u2019s past in \u201cA Little Adventure\u201d leads to further unification between the two in present time and offers fans an explanation as to why they have a brotherly bond. The episode shows that when Keith was young, Shiro believed in him when no one else did and got him into the Galaxy Garrison. Amid the flashbacks, Keith begs Shiro to fight for control of the clone body that\u2019s rejecting his consciousness, leading to Shiro\u2019s return and a tender hug between the two. As Keith said, they have saved each other, and this is an idea that has been seen in previous seasons and was seen throughout the rest of season seven.\r\n\r\nKeith continues to show vulnerability in moments with his mother, especially when she leaves to revive the Blades of Marmora at the end of \u201cThe Ruins.\u201d Keith calls Krolia \u201cmom\u201d for the first time, and they say they love each other before sharing a hug. Keith may always be a bit closed off and reserved when it comes to his emotions, but his interactions with Shiro and Krolia this season have truly shown how far he\u2019s come in terms of opening his heart to others. Keith is easily of the most well-developed characters on the show, and his story has been masterfully told.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-50229\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screenrant.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"317\" \/> Image via Screenrant\/DreamWorks[\/caption]\r\n\r\nIn the second episode, titled \u201cThe Road Home,\u201d the team gets to be like a family in a very relatable, humorous way. There are numerous road trip antics: arguing over which animal companions should go in what lion, Coran driving everyone crazy by singing the Altean alphabet, and Romelle touching everything she can in Lance\u2019s Red Lion. This family dynamic is one that is developed and tested as the season goes on since the team is still adjusting a bit to Keith leading, Allura and Lance piloting new lions, and Shiro being back but on the sidelines. In fact, the paladins almost reach a serious near-breaking point in \u201cThe Journey Within,\u201d which may be the best episode of the season.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe Journey Within\u201d takes a dark dig into the team\u2019s core when they find themselves adrift in space far from their lions. With nothing to do but hold onto each other and wait, they battle loosing their minds. The circumstances take a noticeable toll on Keith, who lashes out and asks foundation-shaking questions about their friendships, such as who they are as a team and what even keeps them together. Such questions have not really surfaced in the show before, and it's jarring in a good way. The questions allow for a bit of soul searching and serve as an obstacle that the paladins clearly need to conquer in order to move forward.\r\n\r\nIn Keith's moments of anger and irrationality, Hunk proves to be the glue that holds the team together. Also, Hunk\u2019s vulnerabilities are made his strengths for a change, as he tells the team that they\u2019re just afraid and not used to that feeling whereas he is and understands what it\u2019s like. Later, when a space creature appears, it is Hunk saying he\u2019ll attack while the others get away that reminds the paladins they are team.\r\n\r\nHunk continues to shine in later episodes, which is a joy to see. Fans have long complained that the yellow paladin has been neglected and given the least character development. Upon the paladins\u2019 return to Earth in \u201cKnow Your Enemy,\u201d Lance and Pidge have beautiful family reunions, but Hunk learns his family has been taken captive. He grapples with feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, and he realizes that his long-held dream of coming home has been shattered. But with Keith\u2019s help, Hunk finally faces his fear and resolves to do whatever he can to help his family in a touching display of strength that fans have been waiting for.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-50188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Image via DreamWorks[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe season finale, titled \u201cLions\u2019 Pride Part 1\u201d and \u201cLions\u2019 Pride Part 2,\u201d was a nail-biting fight to save Earth from Sendak, his Galra soldiers, and an extremely powerful Galra robot. The animation in the fight between Voltron and the Galra robot is stunning, particularly when they fight hand-to-hand with double swords and when they take to the sky. After a massive struggle, the Galra robot is destroyed but set to self-destruct, meaning the paladins have to carry it out into space so the blast doesn\u2019t destroy half of Earth.\r\n\r\nAs they do so, Keith says that it\u2019s been an honor to fly with his team, and in that moment, fans know that the paladins recognize the cost of winning this fight. But when supposed death comes in a swathe of bright light, the defenders of the universe are not afraid. They stare straight ahead with determination and strength, the two things that always keep them going and that keep them alive after the explosion. It is this moment that shows why these characters are some of the best in animation right now and how much they\u2019ve grown as individuals and as a team. Every trial and test in previous seasons prepared them for this moment of potential sacrifice for the greater good, which is something they surely wouldn\u2019t have been as willing to do at the start of their journey.\r\n\r\nBefore the final episode fades to black, it\u2019s revealed that an Altean is the power source of the Galra robot, setting up a new, final mission for season eight. It will be interesting to see how the Altean storyline wraps up and what will be next for the paladins when all the battles are over. But until season eight comes, season seven is a beautiful and exhilarating installment in the Voltron series that can be enjoyed again and again and that proves the show only gets better each season.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">What did you think of season seven of\u00a0<em>Voltron: Legendary Defender<\/em>?<\/h1>","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'Voltron: Legendary Defender' doesn't pull punches in beautiful, exhilarating seventh season","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-voltron-legendary-defender-doesnt-pull-punches-in-beautiful-exhilarating-seventh-season","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-08-10 00:32:04","post_modified_gmt":"2018-08-10 07:32:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=50228","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":50178,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2018-08-08 14:46:46","post_date_gmt":"2018-08-08 21:46:46","post_content":"<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50183\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image005.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\">\r\n\r\nThough the paladins finally defeated Lotor in season six of the hit show <em><strong>Voltron: Legendary Defender<\/strong><\/em>, their fight is far from over as they take on a new challenge\u2014 returning to Earth.\r\n\r\nSeason seven of the DreamWorks series focuses on the heroes' journey home, which is a moment they've all been dreaming of. But when the power hungry Galra attack, Earth becomes something out of a nightmare.\r\n\r\nIn anticipation of the 13 new episodes, I spoke with executive producers Joaquim Dos Santos and Lauren Montgomery about fan favorite Shiro, newcomer Romelle, going back to the paladins' home planet, and much more.\r\n\r\n<em>This interview was edited for length and clarity. There are no spoilers for season seven, but events from season six are discussed.<\/em>\r\n<h5><b>In season six, we learned that the real Shiro\u2019s consciousness was living in the Black Lion after he died and that the Shiro with the team was a clone. How did you plan out that storyline, and did you worry when fans quickly started to guess that Shiro was a clone?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Joaquim Dos Santos:<\/strong> We weren\u2019t really worried. I will say that just from sort of a bigger perspective, there\u2019s so many ideas and story threads that people are speculating on that they kind of get some version of what\u2019s going to happen, regardless.\r\n\r\n<strong>Lauren Montgomery:<\/strong> Between everyone out there, if you were to take a little bit of this person\u2019s theory and a little bit of that person\u2019s theory, they know everything that\u2019s happening. [With clone Shiro,] it was something that ended up happening kind of as a saving effort when we originally were going to have Shiro exit the show and just have the rest of our paladins rise up to fill that space. But then we got word that Shiro was not going to be leaving the show, so we kind of had to [ask], \u2018Ok, what do we do now, how do we keep this guy in the show,\" but without just kicking everyone out of their lions. We put our little thinking caps on and came up with this story, [and] I think early on, it was always an idea that his consciousness was going to be in the Black Lion whether we brought him back as a clone or whether he was just kind of that force that helped Keith along.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We knew that was basically our saving throw\u2013 that we could keep Shiro there, that even if we wanted to wait four seasons and then after that bring him back, we could.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> We brought him back sooner. But to allow our team to continue to grow while still having Shiro around without him being the leader that allows them to not have to grow because he does everything for them, we make him this clone where he\u2019s a little erratic. In that way, most of our characters continue to have to fill in the gaps that are being left by this erratic clone.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><b>Staying on the topic of Shiro, he provides important representation for many fans. He\u2019s an amputee, he seems to have some PTSD, he\u2019s Asian, and it was recently revealed that he\u2019s gay. What was it like constructing his character, and why do you think it was important to give him the qualities you did rather than give them to another character?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> Well, he\u2019s older and he just has more life experience than the other characters. He\u2019s seen more, he\u2019s had interpersonal relationships that were established and ongoing before he ever linked up with our characters.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Some of it just came about because of the story. Like the amputee thing, him being in the Galra gladiator pits and fighting, it was just something that was part of that story and also a cool design element.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> [It\u2019s] superficial as heck, but that was honestly just me saying, \u201cCan we give him a robot arm?\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Sometimes that stuff just happens, but then you also have that wonderful side effect of him being a source of representation for people. I don\u2019t think we initially intended to just give him everything. I think it just kind of ended up working out that way, that these were all cool elements that really worked into his story best. Looking back on it, we certainly made him an amazing beacon of representation.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I think the cool thing is that if you look back and take into consideration everything he\u2019s gone through up to the point where we first meet him and see how strong he is, that makes him even stronger and even cooler.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50185\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image007.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5><b>It seems that Keith will fully assume the leadership role in season seven even though Shiro is back. Keith really struggled with being leader in previous seasons, and though he's grown a lot, does he still have any hesitations?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I don\u2019t think so. I think at this point, we\u2019re pretty safe in assuming that [in] the time he\u2019s spent with his mother, he\u2019s grown a lot. He\u2019s had the time to really accept who he is and what his place is in the world and in the universe, and he\u2019s come to terms with a lot of his demons.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> He\u2019s become a little more settled in himself now that he\u2019s kind of overcome a lot of those demons, and that allows him to trust in himself and in his own judgement. He no longer has that fear of trusting his own judgment and being that leader. He\u2019s had that time away with his mother to kind of learn to trust himself, and so he\u2019s able to kind of bring that to the team now.\r\n<h5><b>You mentioned the time Keith spent with his mother, and during that time he found a space wolf, who was kind of a breakout star in season six. What does that space wolf add to Keith\u2019s life?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> What Keith did with his mother over those two years was like catching up on an entirety of childhood, and he kind of went through that like, \u2018Now here\u2019s your dog. Feed it, wash it, walk it.\u2019 And so he learned that responsibility, being responsible for a life, and now that thing is loyal to him.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I think unconditional love from another creature is a big one, and I think no matter how far Keith has come, he\u2019s still sort of like this lone wolf character. So now he\u2019s got a companion in his cool lone wolf pup.\r\n<h5><b>Coming up in season seven, the paladins are headed back to Earth, where the Galra threat is looming. How did you go about bringing aliens and the consequences of their presence into the real world?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We sort of knew with the storyline that we always wanted to touch on [going back to Earth]. There\u2019s nothing more personal that bringing the fight back to our cast\u2019s home planet. In terms of getting them there, we wanted to make sure that we made it feel natural and like a natural progression of where the battle would go and why the Galra would think in the first place to even go there.\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50186\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image004.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"313\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5><b>Romelle made her debut in season six, and we\u2019ll see more of her in season seven. Did you always know that you wanted to bring Romelle into the show since she was in the original 1980s series? What will she bring to the team dynamic?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> There was always a hope that we could. The whole Alteans kind of still being alive [storyline] was something that came about later in the development of the series, so we weren\u2019t always sure if Romelle would be part of it, or if Romelle would be in the show but maybe not Altean.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We talked about her also at one point [being] in flashbacks for Allura or something like that. We wanted to work her in in some fashion.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> It wasn\u2019t always crystal clear how she would come in, and so when ultimately the story came about, it was perfect that she would be kind of the mouthpiece for it.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> She sort of replaced Hunk in the sense that Hunk is now kind of used to the crazy adventures, so she\u2019s now the beacon of like, \u201cWhat are we doing here, guys?\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> She\u2019s like what Hunk\u2019s start point was. She\u2019s kind of that whole voice of ridiculousness. She\u2019s fun. I\u2019ve always wanted more female characters that held more of that kind of comedic weight, so Romelle\u2019s a lot of fun to play with in that way.\r\n<h5><b>Staying on the topic of female characters, Lotor\u2019s generals have been fan favorites, and they switch sides a lot. Axca seems to be the most unpredictable, and there have been a few moments where she seems to have a connection with Keith. Specifically in season five, she saves him at the Kral Zera. What\u2019s their relationship all about?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> It\u2019s like a warrior\u2019s respect.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Yeah, it\u2019s like an honor sort of thing. Axca, when we met her, she was on this mission to gather scaultrite from the Weblum, and she was probably going to die in that Weblum\u2019s third stomach, trapped in her ship being digested. Keith saved her, knew she was Galra, but treated her with respect, and she appreciated that. She appreciated that this warrior saved her life regardless [of her Galra race] and treated her with respect the whole time. Even though she had to betray him at the end and take the scaultrite, I think she felt like that person has an honor that\u2019s worthy of saving, so any chance she has to not kill him herself or not let him die, she feels like that\u2019s a quality that needs to continue on in the world. I think that\u2019s a quality that she thought Lotor had and maybe only realized at the end that for Lotor, it was all talk, whereas for Keith, it was apparent through his actions that he really had that honor.\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5>There have been several lighthearted episodes in past seasons that fans have really loved, like \u201cSpace Mall,\u201d \u201cThe Voltron Show!\u201d and \u201cMonsters & Mana.\u201d We now know there will be a game show episode in season seven. How do you come up with the ideas for these fun episodes?<\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We just look to nostalgia that we have from our past or present, and we just say, \u201cHow can we work in a game show episode? How can we work in mermaids? How can we work in D&D?\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Some of it\u2019s really just kind of like, \u201cOh, wouldn\u2019t it be so awesome if we could do this?\u201d Because ultimately, when we\u2019re making the show, there\u2019s a lot of things that we need to do for the story, like Galra attack, Galra attack, and then lions form Voltron. But anytime we get a chance to do something as outrageous as going to a mall or going to a mermaid planet or going on a game show, we really appreciate [it] because we know they\u2019re going to be pretty few and far between. We take those chances when we can.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> They let you see the characters in another light, and I will say specifically for the D&D one, there was a lesson to be had there beyond just playing the game. It was genuinely a team building exercise. They\u2019re not just total throwaways. And then the mall episode, we juxtaposed that against probably one of the more serious storylines with Shiro bonding with the Black Lion.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><b>After season seven, there\u2019s just one more season of <em>Voltron<\/em>. What has this journey been like for you two, and can you give fans any hints as to what\u2019s coming?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> [There\u2019s] good stuff coming. We\u2019re really, really excited for it, and we think it culminates in a really, really meaningful and important way for us personally.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> I think for us, it\u2019s been about a four year long journey of just hard work. It\u2019s been hard. But ultimately we really cared about the show, we believed in the show, and we wanted to do right by it because we were really proud of the show we made and the crew that we were working on it with. So as difficult as it\u2019s been, I don\u2019t think we would really change a thing.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> It\u2019s sounds maybe a little hokey to say, but with that much time passing, you basically form relationships that\u2013 moving on you might not see each other everyday\u2013 but these are friendships and relationships that will last forever. So beyond the show itself, that\u2019s really meaningful.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>A big thank you to Joaquim and Lauren for taking the time to do this interview and to DreamWorks for organizing it.

The fifth and final season, out this Friday on Netflix, is another fantastic addition to the series that brings plenty of emotion and high stakes for Adora and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>This is a spoiler-free review of the first 10 episodes of <em>She-Ra<\/em> season five.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Season five begins with Catra and Glimmer still trapped on Horde Prime's ship while Adora, Bow, and the princesses continue to lead the rebellion and get people to safety. However, protecting Etheria is a lot harder to do now that She-Ra is gone, as Adora destroyed the mythical hero's sword in season four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The loss of She-Ra couldn't have come at a worse time. Horde Prime is the greatest opponent Adora and the princesses have ever faced, and his menacing, calculating presence is what really raises the stakes this season. He's chillingly calm and fiercely believes in his cause, and even Catra is visibly afraid of him. He challenges everything our heroes stand for, making him a formidable opponent for the rebellion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Catra-AJ-Michalka-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56603\"\/><figcaption>Image via Netflix and DreamWorks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While stuck on Horde Prime's ship, Catra and Glimmer form a complicated relationship that is wonderful to behold. The whole season, in fact, focuses on various relationships: Catra and Glimmer, Catra and Adora, Glimmer and Bow, and Scorpia and Perfuma. These tight bonds are this season's greatest strength, as the moments between various duos bring tons of emotion as well as messages of friendship, forgiveness, strength, and sacrifice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of duos, Netossa and Spinnerella finally get their time to shine this season. After spending the past four seasons in the background, the couple prove themselves to be very powerful on the battlefield. Netossa, in particular, shows her capability for leadership, and she tries to guide her friends while still fighting for her personal goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not much can be said about Catra without spoilers, but she continues to be the best character in this show. Her growth this season is tremendous, but so are the obstacles in her path. She's incredibly complex as she fights to realize what she truly wants and comes to terms with what she's done in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With amazing characters, development, and action, <em>She-Ra<\/em> season five does not disappoint. It's a satisfying close to the series so many have come to love and cements the show in stellar television history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>What are you most excited to see in <em>She-Ra<\/em> season five?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Edited by: Kelly Conley<\/p>\n","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'She-Ra' Season 5 Packs a Powerful Punch","post_excerpt":"Another fantastic season that brings plenty of emotion and high stakes for Adora and friends.","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-she-ra-season-5-packs-a-powerful-punch","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-05-15 19:59:58","post_modified_gmt":"2020-05-16 02:59:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/?p=56600","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":52059,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2019-04-25 10:29:33","post_date_gmt":"2019-04-25 17:29:33","post_content":"<img class=\"wp-image-52062\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/She-Ra-Bow-Glimmer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Glimmer, Adora and Bow. Image courtesy of Click Communications and DreamWorks.[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<em><strong>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/strong><\/em> zeroes in on the rebellion\u2019s best friend squad and the Horde\u2019s evil trio in a second season that emphasizes relationship development and lays the foundation for foreboding future plot lines.\r\n\r\nSeason one of <em>She-Ra<\/em> followed a young woman named Adora (Aimee Carrero), who left behind the diabolical Horde\u2014and her best friend, Catra (AJ Michalka)\u2014in order to protect Etheria as the mythical hero She-Ra. While struggling to understand her new powers, she becomes close friends with a teleporting princess named Glimmer (Karen Fukuhara) and an archer named Bow (Marcus Scribner).\r\n\r\nThe majority of season one focused on the trio\u2019s efforts to recruit other princesses, including Mermista (Vella Lovell), Perfuma (Genesis Rogriguez), and Frosta (Merit Leighton), for the rebellion, but we see much less of these heroines in season two. They appear in a few big battle sequences, but most of the episodes put a spotlight on Adora, Glimmer, and Bow and, on the opposing side, Catra, Scorpia (Lauren Ash), and Entrapta (Christine Woods). Luckily, all six of these characters bring different goals to the table and are extremely likeable\u2014even Entrapta, who I actually wasn\u2019t a fan of in season one.\r\n\r\nWe get to see the bonds between these characters deepen, and perhaps the most significant bond is the one between Scorpia and Catra. Scorpia wants nothing more than to impress Catra and be her best friend, but Catra is busy trying to prove her worth as a force captain. However, there are a couple of sweet moments where Catra softens toward Scorpia, so I\u2019m interested to see how their relationship will continue to develop in season three.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-52063\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Catra_Entrapta_Scorpia.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Catra, Entrapta and Scorpia. Image Courtesy of Click Communications and DreamWorks.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nSpeaking of Catra, her scene with Shadow Weaver (Lorraine Toussaint) in one of the later episodes is one of the most emotionally impactful parts of the season. I don\u2019t want to reveal too much, but it\u2019s simply heart-wrenching to see some of Catra\u2019s core fears and desires once she lets her walls down. Beyond that, the smugness, anger, and angst behind Catra\u2019s dialogue throughout the season makes for an even more complex, intriguing character and highlights the incredible skill of actress AJ Michalka.\r\n\r\nSeason two also develops the relationships between Glimmer and Frosta and between Adora and her horse, Swift Wind (Adam Ray). This was a welcome surprise since we didn\u2019t really get to know Frosta or Swift Wind in season one, but their interactions with Glimmer and Adora are pretty much isolated to just one episode. Also, while I enjoyed these new friendships, I wish season two featured more of Adora and Catra's friends-to-enemies dynamic.\r\n\r\nAgain, I don\u2019t want to reveal too much, but a lot of season two sets up future plot lines that relate to Shadow Weaver, Hordak (Keston John), and the First Ones. These plot lines will surely broaden the overall story and scope of <em>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/em>, meaning our heroes\u2014and villains\u2014will face a whole new level of challenges in future episodes. Overall, season two is a heartfelt, humorous follow-up to season one, and I hope we'll see more interactions between Adora and Catra next season.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Season two of DreamWorks\u2019 <em>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/em> hits Netflix on Friday, April 26.<\/h1>\r\nEdited by: Kelly Conley","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'She-Ra and the Princesses of Power' Season 2","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-she-ra-and-the-princesses-of-power-season-2","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-05-10 20:01:37","post_modified_gmt":"2019-05-11 03:01:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=52059","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":50416,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2018-09-19 18:04:18","post_date_gmt":"2018-09-20 01:04:18","post_content":"<img class=\"wp-image-50423\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/dlss3ysrqnd6sjjmxaji.jpg\" alt=\"avatar-the-last-airbender\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Image via Kotaku[\/caption]\r\n\r\nAfter 100 years in an iceberg and 10 years away from television screens, avatar Aang is coming to Netflix in a live-action <strong><em>Avatar: The Last Airbender<\/em> <\/strong>series.\r\n\r\nThe Netflix Twitter account See What's Next\u00a0broke the news Tuesday and revealed concept art of Aang and his flying bison, Appa.

In the 13 new episodes, characters who have slowly grown into themselves are pushed to their very limits in both mind and body, and in some of the show\u2019s deepest and occasionally darkest moments yet, the stakes are raised to new heights and punches are not pulled.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Spoiler alert!<\/strong><\/p>\r\nTeam Voltron arguably grows closer than ever before this season, both as a team and in individual relationships. For instance, glimpses into Shiro and Keith\u2019s past in \u201cA Little Adventure\u201d leads to further unification between the two in present time and offers fans an explanation as to why they have a brotherly bond. The episode shows that when Keith was young, Shiro believed in him when no one else did and got him into the Galaxy Garrison. Amid the flashbacks, Keith begs Shiro to fight for control of the clone body that\u2019s rejecting his consciousness, leading to Shiro\u2019s return and a tender hug between the two. As Keith said, they have saved each other, and this is an idea that has been seen in previous seasons and was seen throughout the rest of season seven.\r\n\r\nKeith continues to show vulnerability in moments with his mother, especially when she leaves to revive the Blades of Marmora at the end of \u201cThe Ruins.\u201d Keith calls Krolia \u201cmom\u201d for the first time, and they say they love each other before sharing a hug. Keith may always be a bit closed off and reserved when it comes to his emotions, but his interactions with Shiro and Krolia this season have truly shown how far he\u2019s come in terms of opening his heart to others. Keith is easily of the most well-developed characters on the show, and his story has been masterfully told.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-50229\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screenrant.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"317\" \/> Image via Screenrant\/DreamWorks[\/caption]\r\n\r\nIn the second episode, titled \u201cThe Road Home,\u201d the team gets to be like a family in a very relatable, humorous way. There are numerous road trip antics: arguing over which animal companions should go in what lion, Coran driving everyone crazy by singing the Altean alphabet, and Romelle touching everything she can in Lance\u2019s Red Lion. This family dynamic is one that is developed and tested as the season goes on since the team is still adjusting a bit to Keith leading, Allura and Lance piloting new lions, and Shiro being back but on the sidelines. In fact, the paladins almost reach a serious near-breaking point in \u201cThe Journey Within,\u201d which may be the best episode of the season.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe Journey Within\u201d takes a dark dig into the team\u2019s core when they find themselves adrift in space far from their lions. With nothing to do but hold onto each other and wait, they battle loosing their minds. The circumstances take a noticeable toll on Keith, who lashes out and asks foundation-shaking questions about their friendships, such as who they are as a team and what even keeps them together. Such questions have not really surfaced in the show before, and it's jarring in a good way. The questions allow for a bit of soul searching and serve as an obstacle that the paladins clearly need to conquer in order to move forward.\r\n\r\nIn Keith's moments of anger and irrationality, Hunk proves to be the glue that holds the team together. Also, Hunk\u2019s vulnerabilities are made his strengths for a change, as he tells the team that they\u2019re just afraid and not used to that feeling whereas he is and understands what it\u2019s like. Later, when a space creature appears, it is Hunk saying he\u2019ll attack while the others get away that reminds the paladins they are team.\r\n\r\nHunk continues to shine in later episodes, which is a joy to see. Fans have long complained that the yellow paladin has been neglected and given the least character development. Upon the paladins\u2019 return to Earth in \u201cKnow Your Enemy,\u201d Lance and Pidge have beautiful family reunions, but Hunk learns his family has been taken captive. He grapples with feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, and he realizes that his long-held dream of coming home has been shattered. But with Keith\u2019s help, Hunk finally faces his fear and resolves to do whatever he can to help his family in a touching display of strength that fans have been waiting for.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-50188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Image via DreamWorks[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe season finale, titled \u201cLions\u2019 Pride Part 1\u201d and \u201cLions\u2019 Pride Part 2,\u201d was a nail-biting fight to save Earth from Sendak, his Galra soldiers, and an extremely powerful Galra robot. The animation in the fight between Voltron and the Galra robot is stunning, particularly when they fight hand-to-hand with double swords and when they take to the sky. After a massive struggle, the Galra robot is destroyed but set to self-destruct, meaning the paladins have to carry it out into space so the blast doesn\u2019t destroy half of Earth.\r\n\r\nAs they do so, Keith says that it\u2019s been an honor to fly with his team, and in that moment, fans know that the paladins recognize the cost of winning this fight. But when supposed death comes in a swathe of bright light, the defenders of the universe are not afraid. They stare straight ahead with determination and strength, the two things that always keep them going and that keep them alive after the explosion. It is this moment that shows why these characters are some of the best in animation right now and how much they\u2019ve grown as individuals and as a team. Every trial and test in previous seasons prepared them for this moment of potential sacrifice for the greater good, which is something they surely wouldn\u2019t have been as willing to do at the start of their journey.\r\n\r\nBefore the final episode fades to black, it\u2019s revealed that an Altean is the power source of the Galra robot, setting up a new, final mission for season eight. It will be interesting to see how the Altean storyline wraps up and what will be next for the paladins when all the battles are over. But until season eight comes, season seven is a beautiful and exhilarating installment in the Voltron series that can be enjoyed again and again and that proves the show only gets better each season.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">What did you think of season seven of\u00a0<em>Voltron: Legendary Defender<\/em>?<\/h1>","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'Voltron: Legendary Defender' doesn't pull punches in beautiful, exhilarating seventh season","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-voltron-legendary-defender-doesnt-pull-punches-in-beautiful-exhilarating-seventh-season","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-08-10 00:32:04","post_modified_gmt":"2018-08-10 07:32:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=50228","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":50178,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2018-08-08 14:46:46","post_date_gmt":"2018-08-08 21:46:46","post_content":"<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50183\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image005.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\">\r\n\r\nThough the paladins finally defeated Lotor in season six of the hit show <em><strong>Voltron: Legendary Defender<\/strong><\/em>, their fight is far from over as they take on a new challenge\u2014 returning to Earth.\r\n\r\nSeason seven of the DreamWorks series focuses on the heroes' journey home, which is a moment they've all been dreaming of. But when the power hungry Galra attack, Earth becomes something out of a nightmare.\r\n\r\nIn anticipation of the 13 new episodes, I spoke with executive producers Joaquim Dos Santos and Lauren Montgomery about fan favorite Shiro, newcomer Romelle, going back to the paladins' home planet, and much more.\r\n\r\n<em>This interview was edited for length and clarity. There are no spoilers for season seven, but events from season six are discussed.<\/em>\r\n<h5><b>In season six, we learned that the real Shiro\u2019s consciousness was living in the Black Lion after he died and that the Shiro with the team was a clone. How did you plan out that storyline, and did you worry when fans quickly started to guess that Shiro was a clone?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Joaquim Dos Santos:<\/strong> We weren\u2019t really worried. I will say that just from sort of a bigger perspective, there\u2019s so many ideas and story threads that people are speculating on that they kind of get some version of what\u2019s going to happen, regardless.\r\n\r\n<strong>Lauren Montgomery:<\/strong> Between everyone out there, if you were to take a little bit of this person\u2019s theory and a little bit of that person\u2019s theory, they know everything that\u2019s happening. [With clone Shiro,] it was something that ended up happening kind of as a saving effort when we originally were going to have Shiro exit the show and just have the rest of our paladins rise up to fill that space. But then we got word that Shiro was not going to be leaving the show, so we kind of had to [ask], \u2018Ok, what do we do now, how do we keep this guy in the show,\" but without just kicking everyone out of their lions. We put our little thinking caps on and came up with this story, [and] I think early on, it was always an idea that his consciousness was going to be in the Black Lion whether we brought him back as a clone or whether he was just kind of that force that helped Keith along.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We knew that was basically our saving throw\u2013 that we could keep Shiro there, that even if we wanted to wait four seasons and then after that bring him back, we could.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> We brought him back sooner. But to allow our team to continue to grow while still having Shiro around without him being the leader that allows them to not have to grow because he does everything for them, we make him this clone where he\u2019s a little erratic. In that way, most of our characters continue to have to fill in the gaps that are being left by this erratic clone.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><b>Staying on the topic of Shiro, he provides important representation for many fans. He\u2019s an amputee, he seems to have some PTSD, he\u2019s Asian, and it was recently revealed that he\u2019s gay. What was it like constructing his character, and why do you think it was important to give him the qualities you did rather than give them to another character?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> Well, he\u2019s older and he just has more life experience than the other characters. He\u2019s seen more, he\u2019s had interpersonal relationships that were established and ongoing before he ever linked up with our characters.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Some of it just came about because of the story. Like the amputee thing, him being in the Galra gladiator pits and fighting, it was just something that was part of that story and also a cool design element.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> [It\u2019s] superficial as heck, but that was honestly just me saying, \u201cCan we give him a robot arm?\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Sometimes that stuff just happens, but then you also have that wonderful side effect of him being a source of representation for people. I don\u2019t think we initially intended to just give him everything. I think it just kind of ended up working out that way, that these were all cool elements that really worked into his story best. Looking back on it, we certainly made him an amazing beacon of representation.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I think the cool thing is that if you look back and take into consideration everything he\u2019s gone through up to the point where we first meet him and see how strong he is, that makes him even stronger and even cooler.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50185\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image007.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5><b>It seems that Keith will fully assume the leadership role in season seven even though Shiro is back. Keith really struggled with being leader in previous seasons, and though he's grown a lot, does he still have any hesitations?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I don\u2019t think so. I think at this point, we\u2019re pretty safe in assuming that [in] the time he\u2019s spent with his mother, he\u2019s grown a lot. He\u2019s had the time to really accept who he is and what his place is in the world and in the universe, and he\u2019s come to terms with a lot of his demons.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> He\u2019s become a little more settled in himself now that he\u2019s kind of overcome a lot of those demons, and that allows him to trust in himself and in his own judgement. He no longer has that fear of trusting his own judgment and being that leader. He\u2019s had that time away with his mother to kind of learn to trust himself, and so he\u2019s able to kind of bring that to the team now.\r\n<h5><b>You mentioned the time Keith spent with his mother, and during that time he found a space wolf, who was kind of a breakout star in season six. What does that space wolf add to Keith\u2019s life?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> What Keith did with his mother over those two years was like catching up on an entirety of childhood, and he kind of went through that like, \u2018Now here\u2019s your dog. Feed it, wash it, walk it.\u2019 And so he learned that responsibility, being responsible for a life, and now that thing is loyal to him.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I think unconditional love from another creature is a big one, and I think no matter how far Keith has come, he\u2019s still sort of like this lone wolf character. So now he\u2019s got a companion in his cool lone wolf pup.\r\n<h5><b>Coming up in season seven, the paladins are headed back to Earth, where the Galra threat is looming. How did you go about bringing aliens and the consequences of their presence into the real world?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We sort of knew with the storyline that we always wanted to touch on [going back to Earth]. There\u2019s nothing more personal that bringing the fight back to our cast\u2019s home planet. In terms of getting them there, we wanted to make sure that we made it feel natural and like a natural progression of where the battle would go and why the Galra would think in the first place to even go there.\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50186\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image004.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"313\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5><b>Romelle made her debut in season six, and we\u2019ll see more of her in season seven. Did you always know that you wanted to bring Romelle into the show since she was in the original 1980s series? What will she bring to the team dynamic?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> There was always a hope that we could. The whole Alteans kind of still being alive [storyline] was something that came about later in the development of the series, so we weren\u2019t always sure if Romelle would be part of it, or if Romelle would be in the show but maybe not Altean.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We talked about her also at one point [being] in flashbacks for Allura or something like that. We wanted to work her in in some fashion.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> It wasn\u2019t always crystal clear how she would come in, and so when ultimately the story came about, it was perfect that she would be kind of the mouthpiece for it.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> She sort of replaced Hunk in the sense that Hunk is now kind of used to the crazy adventures, so she\u2019s now the beacon of like, \u201cWhat are we doing here, guys?\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> She\u2019s like what Hunk\u2019s start point was. She\u2019s kind of that whole voice of ridiculousness. She\u2019s fun. I\u2019ve always wanted more female characters that held more of that kind of comedic weight, so Romelle\u2019s a lot of fun to play with in that way.\r\n<h5><b>Staying on the topic of female characters, Lotor\u2019s generals have been fan favorites, and they switch sides a lot. Axca seems to be the most unpredictable, and there have been a few moments where she seems to have a connection with Keith. Specifically in season five, she saves him at the Kral Zera. What\u2019s their relationship all about?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> It\u2019s like a warrior\u2019s respect.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Yeah, it\u2019s like an honor sort of thing. Axca, when we met her, she was on this mission to gather scaultrite from the Weblum, and she was probably going to die in that Weblum\u2019s third stomach, trapped in her ship being digested. Keith saved her, knew she was Galra, but treated her with respect, and she appreciated that. She appreciated that this warrior saved her life regardless [of her Galra race] and treated her with respect the whole time. Even though she had to betray him at the end and take the scaultrite, I think she felt like that person has an honor that\u2019s worthy of saving, so any chance she has to not kill him herself or not let him die, she feels like that\u2019s a quality that needs to continue on in the world. I think that\u2019s a quality that she thought Lotor had and maybe only realized at the end that for Lotor, it was all talk, whereas for Keith, it was apparent through his actions that he really had that honor.\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5>There have been several lighthearted episodes in past seasons that fans have really loved, like \u201cSpace Mall,\u201d \u201cThe Voltron Show!\u201d and \u201cMonsters & Mana.\u201d We now know there will be a game show episode in season seven. How do you come up with the ideas for these fun episodes?<\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We just look to nostalgia that we have from our past or present, and we just say, \u201cHow can we work in a game show episode? How can we work in mermaids? How can we work in D&D?\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Some of it\u2019s really just kind of like, \u201cOh, wouldn\u2019t it be so awesome if we could do this?\u201d Because ultimately, when we\u2019re making the show, there\u2019s a lot of things that we need to do for the story, like Galra attack, Galra attack, and then lions form Voltron. But anytime we get a chance to do something as outrageous as going to a mall or going to a mermaid planet or going on a game show, we really appreciate [it] because we know they\u2019re going to be pretty few and far between. We take those chances when we can.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> They let you see the characters in another light, and I will say specifically for the D&D one, there was a lesson to be had there beyond just playing the game. It was genuinely a team building exercise. They\u2019re not just total throwaways. And then the mall episode, we juxtaposed that against probably one of the more serious storylines with Shiro bonding with the Black Lion.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><b>After season seven, there\u2019s just one more season of <em>Voltron<\/em>. What has this journey been like for you two, and can you give fans any hints as to what\u2019s coming?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> [There\u2019s] good stuff coming. We\u2019re really, really excited for it, and we think it culminates in a really, really meaningful and important way for us personally.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> I think for us, it\u2019s been about a four year long journey of just hard work. It\u2019s been hard. But ultimately we really cared about the show, we believed in the show, and we wanted to do right by it because we were really proud of the show we made and the crew that we were working on it with. So as difficult as it\u2019s been, I don\u2019t think we would really change a thing.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> It\u2019s sounds maybe a little hokey to say, but with that much time passing, you basically form relationships that\u2013 moving on you might not see each other everyday\u2013 but these are friendships and relationships that will last forever.

have created five seasons of inspiring heroes and girl-powered action. The fifth and final season, out this Friday on Netflix, is another fantastic addition to the series that brings plenty of emotion and high stakes for Adora and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>This is a spoiler-free review of the first 10 episodes of <em>She-Ra<\/em> season five.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Season five begins with Catra and Glimmer still trapped on Horde Prime's ship while Adora, Bow, and the princesses continue to lead the rebellion and get people to safety. However, protecting Etheria is a lot harder to do now that She-Ra is gone, as Adora destroyed the mythical hero's sword in season four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The loss of She-Ra couldn't have come at a worse time. Horde Prime is the greatest opponent Adora and the princesses have ever faced, and his menacing, calculating presence is what really raises the stakes this season. He's chillingly calm and fiercely believes in his cause, and even Catra is visibly afraid of him. He challenges everything our heroes stand for, making him a formidable opponent for the rebellion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Catra-AJ-Michalka-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56603\"\/><figcaption>Image via Netflix and DreamWorks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While stuck on Horde Prime's ship, Catra and Glimmer form a complicated relationship that is wonderful to behold. The whole season, in fact, focuses on various relationships: Catra and Glimmer, Catra and Adora, Glimmer and Bow, and Scorpia and Perfuma. These tight bonds are this season's greatest strength, as the moments between various duos bring tons of emotion as well as messages of friendship, forgiveness, strength, and sacrifice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of duos, Netossa and Spinnerella finally get their time to shine this season. After spending the past four seasons in the background, the couple prove themselves to be very powerful on the battlefield. Netossa, in particular, shows her capability for leadership, and she tries to guide her friends while still fighting for her personal goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not much can be said about Catra without spoilers, but she continues to be the best character in this show. Her growth this season is tremendous, but so are the obstacles in her path. She's incredibly complex as she fights to realize what she truly wants and comes to terms with what she's done in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With amazing characters, development, and action, <em>She-Ra<\/em> season five does not disappoint. It's a satisfying close to the series so many have come to love and cements the show in stellar television history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>What are you most excited to see in <em>She-Ra<\/em> season five?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Edited by: Kelly Conley<\/p>\n","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'She-Ra' Season 5 Packs a Powerful Punch","post_excerpt":"Another fantastic season that brings plenty of emotion and high stakes for Adora and friends.","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-she-ra-season-5-packs-a-powerful-punch","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-05-15 19:59:58","post_modified_gmt":"2020-05-16 02:59:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/?p=56600","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":52059,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2019-04-25 10:29:33","post_date_gmt":"2019-04-25 17:29:33","post_content":"<img class=\"wp-image-52062\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/She-Ra-Bow-Glimmer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Glimmer, Adora and Bow. Image courtesy of Click Communications and DreamWorks.[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<em><strong>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/strong><\/em> zeroes in on the rebellion\u2019s best friend squad and the Horde\u2019s evil trio in a second season that emphasizes relationship development and lays the foundation for foreboding future plot lines.\r\n\r\nSeason one of <em>She-Ra<\/em> followed a young woman named Adora (Aimee Carrero), who left behind the diabolical Horde\u2014and her best friend, Catra (AJ Michalka)\u2014in order to protect Etheria as the mythical hero She-Ra. While struggling to understand her new powers, she becomes close friends with a teleporting princess named Glimmer (Karen Fukuhara) and an archer named Bow (Marcus Scribner).\r\n\r\nThe majority of season one focused on the trio\u2019s efforts to recruit other princesses, including Mermista (Vella Lovell), Perfuma (Genesis Rogriguez), and Frosta (Merit Leighton), for the rebellion, but we see much less of these heroines in season two. They appear in a few big battle sequences, but most of the episodes put a spotlight on Adora, Glimmer, and Bow and, on the opposing side, Catra, Scorpia (Lauren Ash), and Entrapta (Christine Woods). Luckily, all six of these characters bring different goals to the table and are extremely likeable\u2014even Entrapta, who I actually wasn\u2019t a fan of in season one.\r\n\r\nWe get to see the bonds between these characters deepen, and perhaps the most significant bond is the one between Scorpia and Catra. Scorpia wants nothing more than to impress Catra and be her best friend, but Catra is busy trying to prove her worth as a force captain. However, there are a couple of sweet moments where Catra softens toward Scorpia, so I\u2019m interested to see how their relationship will continue to develop in season three.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-52063\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Catra_Entrapta_Scorpia.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Catra, Entrapta and Scorpia. Image Courtesy of Click Communications and DreamWorks.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nSpeaking of Catra, her scene with Shadow Weaver (Lorraine Toussaint) in one of the later episodes is one of the most emotionally impactful parts of the season. I don\u2019t want to reveal too much, but it\u2019s simply heart-wrenching to see some of Catra\u2019s core fears and desires once she lets her walls down. Beyond that, the smugness, anger, and angst behind Catra\u2019s dialogue throughout the season makes for an even more complex, intriguing character and highlights the incredible skill of actress AJ Michalka.\r\n\r\nSeason two also develops the relationships between Glimmer and Frosta and between Adora and her horse, Swift Wind (Adam Ray). This was a welcome surprise since we didn\u2019t really get to know Frosta or Swift Wind in season one, but their interactions with Glimmer and Adora are pretty much isolated to just one episode. Also, while I enjoyed these new friendships, I wish season two featured more of Adora and Catra's friends-to-enemies dynamic.\r\n\r\nAgain, I don\u2019t want to reveal too much, but a lot of season two sets up future plot lines that relate to Shadow Weaver, Hordak (Keston John), and the First Ones. These plot lines will surely broaden the overall story and scope of <em>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/em>, meaning our heroes\u2014and villains\u2014will face a whole new level of challenges in future episodes. Overall, season two is a heartfelt, humorous follow-up to season one, and I hope we'll see more interactions between Adora and Catra next season.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Season two of DreamWorks\u2019 <em>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/em> hits Netflix on Friday, April 26.<\/h1>\r\nEdited by: Kelly Conley","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'She-Ra and the Princesses of Power' Season 2","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-she-ra-and-the-princesses-of-power-season-2","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-05-10 20:01:37","post_modified_gmt":"2019-05-11 03:01:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=52059","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":50416,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2018-09-19 18:04:18","post_date_gmt":"2018-09-20 01:04:18","post_content":"<img class=\"wp-image-50423\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/dlss3ysrqnd6sjjmxaji.jpg\" alt=\"avatar-the-last-airbender\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Image via Kotaku[\/caption]\r\n\r\nAfter 100 years in an iceberg and 10 years away from television screens, avatar Aang is coming to Netflix in a live-action <strong><em>Avatar: The Last Airbender<\/em> <\/strong>series.\r\n\r\nThe Netflix Twitter account See What's Next\u00a0broke the news Tuesday and revealed concept art of Aang and his flying bison, Appa.

In the 13 new episodes, characters who have slowly grown into themselves are pushed to their very limits in both mind and body, and in some of the show\u2019s deepest and occasionally darkest moments yet, the stakes are raised to new heights and punches are not pulled.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Spoiler alert!<\/strong><\/p>\r\nTeam Voltron arguably grows closer than ever before this season, both as a team and in individual relationships. For instance, glimpses into Shiro and Keith\u2019s past in \u201cA Little Adventure\u201d leads to further unification between the two in present time and offers fans an explanation as to why they have a brotherly bond. The episode shows that when Keith was young, Shiro believed in him when no one else did and got him into the Galaxy Garrison. Amid the flashbacks, Keith begs Shiro to fight for control of the clone body that\u2019s rejecting his consciousness, leading to Shiro\u2019s return and a tender hug between the two. As Keith said, they have saved each other, and this is an idea that has been seen in previous seasons and was seen throughout the rest of season seven.\r\n\r\nKeith continues to show vulnerability in moments with his mother, especially when she leaves to revive the Blades of Marmora at the end of \u201cThe Ruins.\u201d Keith calls Krolia \u201cmom\u201d for the first time, and they say they love each other before sharing a hug. Keith may always be a bit closed off and reserved when it comes to his emotions, but his interactions with Shiro and Krolia this season have truly shown how far he\u2019s come in terms of opening his heart to others. Keith is easily of the most well-developed characters on the show, and his story has been masterfully told.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-50229\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Screenrant.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"317\" \/> Image via Screenrant\/DreamWorks[\/caption]\r\n\r\nIn the second episode, titled \u201cThe Road Home,\u201d the team gets to be like a family in a very relatable, humorous way. There are numerous road trip antics: arguing over which animal companions should go in what lion, Coran driving everyone crazy by singing the Altean alphabet, and Romelle touching everything she can in Lance\u2019s Red Lion. This family dynamic is one that is developed and tested as the season goes on since the team is still adjusting a bit to Keith leading, Allura and Lance piloting new lions, and Shiro being back but on the sidelines. In fact, the paladins almost reach a serious near-breaking point in \u201cThe Journey Within,\u201d which may be the best episode of the season.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe Journey Within\u201d takes a dark dig into the team\u2019s core when they find themselves adrift in space far from their lions. With nothing to do but hold onto each other and wait, they battle loosing their minds. The circumstances take a noticeable toll on Keith, who lashes out and asks foundation-shaking questions about their friendships, such as who they are as a team and what even keeps them together. Such questions have not really surfaced in the show before, and it's jarring in a good way. The questions allow for a bit of soul searching and serve as an obstacle that the paladins clearly need to conquer in order to move forward.\r\n\r\nIn Keith's moments of anger and irrationality, Hunk proves to be the glue that holds the team together. Also, Hunk\u2019s vulnerabilities are made his strengths for a change, as he tells the team that they\u2019re just afraid and not used to that feeling whereas he is and understands what it\u2019s like. Later, when a space creature appears, it is Hunk saying he\u2019ll attack while the others get away that reminds the paladins they are team.\r\n\r\nHunk continues to shine in later episodes, which is a joy to see. Fans have long complained that the yellow paladin has been neglected and given the least character development. Upon the paladins\u2019 return to Earth in \u201cKnow Your Enemy,\u201d Lance and Pidge have beautiful family reunions, but Hunk learns his family has been taken captive. He grapples with feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, and he realizes that his long-held dream of coming home has been shattered. But with Keith\u2019s help, Hunk finally faces his fear and resolves to do whatever he can to help his family in a touching display of strength that fans have been waiting for.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-50188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\" \/> Image via DreamWorks[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe season finale, titled \u201cLions\u2019 Pride Part 1\u201d and \u201cLions\u2019 Pride Part 2,\u201d was a nail-biting fight to save Earth from Sendak, his Galra soldiers, and an extremely powerful Galra robot. The animation in the fight between Voltron and the Galra robot is stunning, particularly when they fight hand-to-hand with double swords and when they take to the sky. After a massive struggle, the Galra robot is destroyed but set to self-destruct, meaning the paladins have to carry it out into space so the blast doesn\u2019t destroy half of Earth.\r\n\r\nAs they do so, Keith says that it\u2019s been an honor to fly with his team, and in that moment, fans know that the paladins recognize the cost of winning this fight. But when supposed death comes in a swathe of bright light, the defenders of the universe are not afraid. They stare straight ahead with determination and strength, the two things that always keep them going and that keep them alive after the explosion. It is this moment that shows why these characters are some of the best in animation right now and how much they\u2019ve grown as individuals and as a team. Every trial and test in previous seasons prepared them for this moment of potential sacrifice for the greater good, which is something they surely wouldn\u2019t have been as willing to do at the start of their journey.\r\n\r\nBefore the final episode fades to black, it\u2019s revealed that an Altean is the power source of the Galra robot, setting up a new, final mission for season eight. It will be interesting to see how the Altean storyline wraps up and what will be next for the paladins when all the battles are over. But until season eight comes, season seven is a beautiful and exhilarating installment in the Voltron series that can be enjoyed again and again and that proves the show only gets better each season.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">What did you think of season seven of\u00a0<em>Voltron: Legendary Defender<\/em>?<\/h1>","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'Voltron: Legendary Defender' doesn't pull punches in beautiful, exhilarating seventh season","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-voltron-legendary-defender-doesnt-pull-punches-in-beautiful-exhilarating-seventh-season","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-08-10 00:32:04","post_modified_gmt":"2018-08-10 07:32:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=50228","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":50178,"post_author":"46","post_date":"2018-08-08 14:46:46","post_date_gmt":"2018-08-08 21:46:46","post_content":"<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50183\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image005.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\">\r\n\r\nThough the paladins finally defeated Lotor in season six of the hit show <em><strong>Voltron: Legendary Defender<\/strong><\/em>, their fight is far from over as they take on a new challenge\u2014 returning to Earth.\r\n\r\nSeason seven of the DreamWorks series focuses on the heroes' journey home, which is a moment they've all been dreaming of. But when the power hungry Galra attack, Earth becomes something out of a nightmare.\r\n\r\nIn anticipation of the 13 new episodes, I spoke with executive producers Joaquim Dos Santos and Lauren Montgomery about fan favorite Shiro, newcomer Romelle, going back to the paladins' home planet, and much more.\r\n\r\n<em>This interview was edited for length and clarity. There are no spoilers for season seven, but events from season six are discussed.<\/em>\r\n<h5><b>In season six, we learned that the real Shiro\u2019s consciousness was living in the Black Lion after he died and that the Shiro with the team was a clone. How did you plan out that storyline, and did you worry when fans quickly started to guess that Shiro was a clone?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Joaquim Dos Santos:<\/strong> We weren\u2019t really worried. I will say that just from sort of a bigger perspective, there\u2019s so many ideas and story threads that people are speculating on that they kind of get some version of what\u2019s going to happen, regardless.\r\n\r\n<strong>Lauren Montgomery:<\/strong> Between everyone out there, if you were to take a little bit of this person\u2019s theory and a little bit of that person\u2019s theory, they know everything that\u2019s happening. [With clone Shiro,] it was something that ended up happening kind of as a saving effort when we originally were going to have Shiro exit the show and just have the rest of our paladins rise up to fill that space. But then we got word that Shiro was not going to be leaving the show, so we kind of had to [ask], \u2018Ok, what do we do now, how do we keep this guy in the show,\" but without just kicking everyone out of their lions. We put our little thinking caps on and came up with this story, [and] I think early on, it was always an idea that his consciousness was going to be in the Black Lion whether we brought him back as a clone or whether he was just kind of that force that helped Keith along.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We knew that was basically our saving throw\u2013 that we could keep Shiro there, that even if we wanted to wait four seasons and then after that bring him back, we could.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> We brought him back sooner. But to allow our team to continue to grow while still having Shiro around without him being the leader that allows them to not have to grow because he does everything for them, we make him this clone where he\u2019s a little erratic. In that way, most of our characters continue to have to fill in the gaps that are being left by this erratic clone.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><b>Staying on the topic of Shiro, he provides important representation for many fans. He\u2019s an amputee, he seems to have some PTSD, he\u2019s Asian, and it was recently revealed that he\u2019s gay. What was it like constructing his character, and why do you think it was important to give him the qualities you did rather than give them to another character?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> Well, he\u2019s older and he just has more life experience than the other characters. He\u2019s seen more, he\u2019s had interpersonal relationships that were established and ongoing before he ever linked up with our characters.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Some of it just came about because of the story. Like the amputee thing, him being in the Galra gladiator pits and fighting, it was just something that was part of that story and also a cool design element.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> [It\u2019s] superficial as heck, but that was honestly just me saying, \u201cCan we give him a robot arm?\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Sometimes that stuff just happens, but then you also have that wonderful side effect of him being a source of representation for people. I don\u2019t think we initially intended to just give him everything. I think it just kind of ended up working out that way, that these were all cool elements that really worked into his story best. Looking back on it, we certainly made him an amazing beacon of representation.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I think the cool thing is that if you look back and take into consideration everything he\u2019s gone through up to the point where we first meet him and see how strong he is, that makes him even stronger and even cooler.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50185\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image007.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5><b>It seems that Keith will fully assume the leadership role in season seven even though Shiro is back. Keith really struggled with being leader in previous seasons, and though he's grown a lot, does he still have any hesitations?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I don\u2019t think so. I think at this point, we\u2019re pretty safe in assuming that [in] the time he\u2019s spent with his mother, he\u2019s grown a lot. He\u2019s had the time to really accept who he is and what his place is in the world and in the universe, and he\u2019s come to terms with a lot of his demons.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> He\u2019s become a little more settled in himself now that he\u2019s kind of overcome a lot of those demons, and that allows him to trust in himself and in his own judgement. He no longer has that fear of trusting his own judgment and being that leader. He\u2019s had that time away with his mother to kind of learn to trust himself, and so he\u2019s able to kind of bring that to the team now.\r\n<h5><b>You mentioned the time Keith spent with his mother, and during that time he found a space wolf, who was kind of a breakout star in season six. What does that space wolf add to Keith\u2019s life?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> What Keith did with his mother over those two years was like catching up on an entirety of childhood, and he kind of went through that like, \u2018Now here\u2019s your dog. Feed it, wash it, walk it.\u2019 And so he learned that responsibility, being responsible for a life, and now that thing is loyal to him.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> I think unconditional love from another creature is a big one, and I think no matter how far Keith has come, he\u2019s still sort of like this lone wolf character. So now he\u2019s got a companion in his cool lone wolf pup.\r\n<h5><b>Coming up in season seven, the paladins are headed back to Earth, where the Galra threat is looming. How did you go about bringing aliens and the consequences of their presence into the real world?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We sort of knew with the storyline that we always wanted to touch on [going back to Earth]. There\u2019s nothing more personal that bringing the fight back to our cast\u2019s home planet. In terms of getting them there, we wanted to make sure that we made it feel natural and like a natural progression of where the battle would go and why the Galra would think in the first place to even go there.\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50186\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image004.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"313\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5><b>Romelle made her debut in season six, and we\u2019ll see more of her in season seven. Did you always know that you wanted to bring Romelle into the show since she was in the original 1980s series? What will she bring to the team dynamic?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> There was always a hope that we could. The whole Alteans kind of still being alive [storyline] was something that came about later in the development of the series, so we weren\u2019t always sure if Romelle would be part of it, or if Romelle would be in the show but maybe not Altean.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We talked about her also at one point [being] in flashbacks for Allura or something like that. We wanted to work her in in some fashion.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> It wasn\u2019t always crystal clear how she would come in, and so when ultimately the story came about, it was perfect that she would be kind of the mouthpiece for it.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> She sort of replaced Hunk in the sense that Hunk is now kind of used to the crazy adventures, so she\u2019s now the beacon of like, \u201cWhat are we doing here, guys?\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> She\u2019s like what Hunk\u2019s start point was. She\u2019s kind of that whole voice of ridiculousness. She\u2019s fun. I\u2019ve always wanted more female characters that held more of that kind of comedic weight, so Romelle\u2019s a lot of fun to play with in that way.\r\n<h5><b>Staying on the topic of female characters, Lotor\u2019s generals have been fan favorites, and they switch sides a lot. Axca seems to be the most unpredictable, and there have been a few moments where she seems to have a connection with Keith. Specifically in season five, she saves him at the Kral Zera. What\u2019s their relationship all about?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> It\u2019s like a warrior\u2019s respect.\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Yeah, it\u2019s like an honor sort of thing. Axca, when we met her, she was on this mission to gather scaultrite from the Weblum, and she was probably going to die in that Weblum\u2019s third stomach, trapped in her ship being digested. Keith saved her, knew she was Galra, but treated her with respect, and she appreciated that. She appreciated that this warrior saved her life regardless [of her Galra race] and treated her with respect the whole time. Even though she had to betray him at the end and take the scaultrite, I think she felt like that person has an honor that\u2019s worthy of saving, so any chance she has to not kill him herself or not let him die, she feels like that\u2019s a quality that needs to continue on in the world. I think that\u2019s a quality that she thought Lotor had and maybe only realized at the end that for Lotor, it was all talk, whereas for Keith, it was apparent through his actions that he really had that honor.\r\n<h5><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50188\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"357\"><\/h5>\r\n<h5>There have been several lighthearted episodes in past seasons that fans have really loved, like \u201cSpace Mall,\u201d \u201cThe Voltron Show!\u201d and \u201cMonsters & Mana.\u201d We now know there will be a game show episode in season seven. How do you come up with the ideas for these fun episodes?<\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> We just look to nostalgia that we have from our past or present, and we just say, \u201cHow can we work in a game show episode? How can we work in mermaids? How can we work in D&D?\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> Some of it\u2019s really just kind of like, \u201cOh, wouldn\u2019t it be so awesome if we could do this?\u201d Because ultimately, when we\u2019re making the show, there\u2019s a lot of things that we need to do for the story, like Galra attack, Galra attack, and then lions form Voltron. But anytime we get a chance to do something as outrageous as going to a mall or going to a mermaid planet or going on a game show, we really appreciate [it] because we know they\u2019re going to be pretty few and far between. We take those chances when we can.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> They let you see the characters in another light, and I will say specifically for the D&D one, there was a lesson to be had there beyond just playing the game. It was genuinely a team building exercise. They\u2019re not just total throwaways. And then the mall episode, we juxtaposed that against probably one of the more serious storylines with Shiro bonding with the Black Lion.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n<h5><b>After season seven, there\u2019s just one more season of <em>Voltron<\/em>. What has this journey been like for you two, and can you give fans any hints as to what\u2019s coming?<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> [There\u2019s] good stuff coming. We\u2019re really, really excited for it, and we think it culminates in a really, really meaningful and important way for us personally.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Montgomery:<\/strong> I think for us, it\u2019s been about a four year long journey of just hard work. It\u2019s been hard. But ultimately we really cared about the show, we believed in the show, and we wanted to do right by it because we were really proud of the show we made and the crew that we were working on it with. So as difficult as it\u2019s been, I don\u2019t think we would really change a thing.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dos Santos:<\/strong> It\u2019s sounds maybe a little hokey to say, but with that much time passing, you basically form relationships that\u2013 moving on you might not see each other everyday\u2013 but these are friendships and relationships that will last forever. So beyond the show itself, that\u2019s really meaningful.\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>A big thank you to Joaquim and Lauren for taking the time to do this interview and to DreamWorks for organizing it.
