Process for Picking the Dudes Who Would Fly the Voltron Lions

 

Okay, this is an extremely complicated process.  For some reason, instead of a giant robot with one pilot like we’d asked for, we have five separate lion-shaped ships that come together to form one giant robot. 

I know, I know.  It seems far more complicated than it has to be for no fucking reason.  But this is where we stand, so let’s make the best of it.

First off, we need a real leader type.  An alpha. You know, that really cool, awesome guy from high school who clearly knew he was the best guy?  And you really wanted someone to take him down a peg, but to be honest he really WAS the best guy, so who was going to stop him?

Let’s start with that guy.

Okay, then we need a guy who is just like that guy except a little darker.  Same guy, but long hair, eyepatch.  Maybe a face scar.  Pouty, too.  Nice and pouty.

Next, we need a nerdy guy.  Real nerd, guy who really has a hard time working in a team because he feels very physically inadequate, yet the team DESPERATELY needs him time after time for his brain.  We should probably get a guy who’s, I don’t know, ten.

Okay, hot chick.  We have all these pink outfits, so that would be helpful.  Maybe a princess, a literal princess would be the best pilot of a highly technical military weapon.  Make sure that her eyelashes are absolutely outstanding.

Next, a fatty.  A gruff one.  Imagine the Thing from the Fantastic Four, but with no powers and chunky.

That should just about do it.  I don’t see any potential issues with this group. What a team we’ve created here.  The galaxy is safe once again.
