- The individual lions are absolutely badass;
- The lions are different sizes and have more pronounced personalities than in earlier shows;
- There are other superweapons apart from the Blazing Sword;
- Said Blazing Sword is used to end a fight exactly once, even though it's useful at other times;
- Pidge's character has a hell of a twist, and it's handled really well;
- Princess Allura is amazing;
- Zarkon's an awesome villain, and he's not an idiot; he sends one robeast to fight Voltron, and when that doesn't work he stops doing that (kinda);
- Haggar's scary as fuck;
- The mice are still there, but they have an actual purpose;
- The Castle of Lions is actually useful;
- None of the characters are dead weight.
It was a really fun show to watch, and it holds up on repeat viewings. All I want now is MORE!!!
