I feel like my whole childhood has been a lie now.

Yes, that's why he lost his ability to control itself. It goes to show, if your a sentient robot dick then your gonna become a dildo er something like that.

I see the main difference between Voltron and Golion here is priorities. Voltron was a controlled robot used as a defensive weapon only,not an attacking mechanism. Golion on the other hand seems to be a sentient robot with a streak of arrogance. And the story of the queen of the universe separating Golion into different parts was part of the storyline altered in Voltron where Haggar disguised herself and cursed Voltron.

@raith0818 Think of it like this, Voltron was out fighting just for the sake of fighting. The monsters that you saw him destroy were probably minding their own business before they were attacked by Voltron. Voltron started believing his own hype and thought he was badass. He made the mistake of challenging someone out of his league.

Next thing you're gonna tell me is that the Bible is based on Astrology.

@LionVoltron1984 true that.

@raith0818

If you're a bloodthirsty monster that only targets monsters, you're still a bloodthirsty monster.

@HatakeWolf I wont pretend I know the Japanese story, but if Voltron was always evil, seems he would be out conquering peaceful worlds instead battling ugly monsters. The goddess asks why he doesn't use his power for "peace" not "good". If peace = good and battle = evil, that's not a very good argument she is using. Like saying pretty = good and ugly = evil. Not quite true.

If Voltron was evil, that's a cool story, but i'd like to know what evil he did. Did he destroy an innocent planet?

[HatakeWolf]

@raith0818 No! the way the Japanese version explains it as if Golion was always evil that the only thing that he sought were battles to prove his powers. The Goddess of the universe herself asks him why doesn't he use his powers for good instead of attacking monsters that he came across.

What I hated about this part of Voltron wasn't the origin, but the fact that the young explorers needed this backstory explained to them later by Allura's guardian later on, even though Keith seemed to know the whole story at this point (first ep, I believe).

@DAOW17 Search Golion Episode 52. I think it's Burn Galra Castle or something like that. It's just the original ending and doesn't have the Voltron ending. Sincline/Lotor falls to his death but the Voltron (Edited) version says that he survived the fall.
