Those Two Bad Guys is replaced by Bumbling Henchmen Duo with a slightly different definition, as per this thread.


* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Queequeg and Lafitte.

Added DiffLines:

* ClipShow: Two.
** "The Trial of Voltron": Amalgamous calls for the team to be disbanded once and for all, while Coran argues on their behalf. Both sides cite previous events, with the Alliance getting to vote on the outcome.
** "Biography: The Voltron Force": reporter Ueep Ueep sits down with Amalgamous for a new special to talk about each member of the team and their recent exploits. Meanwhile, Lotor intends to attack the station for not portraying him positively and for giving his enemies the spotlight.
--->'''Amalgamous''': [[LampshadeHanging Where on Earth did you get that footage?]]


Added DiffLines:

* ShipTease: It doesn't come up that often, but Keith and Allura. His greatest fear is having to watch her marry Lotor. She also finds the idea of their MirrorUniverse counterparts being an item interesting.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
None

Added DiffLines:

* GoodFeelsGood: Keith and Allura's MirrorUniverse counterparts aren't evil, but they focus on reckless fun rather than their responsibilities. When the chance to become heroic arises, they admit it's rather infectious.


Added DiffLines:

* MirrorUniverse: "Consider the Alternatives" takes the team and Lotor to one. Coran is pretty much like his mainstream counterpart, if unkempt from years on the run. Almost everything else is different: Keith is a fun-loving slacker who cares nothing about the rules, Lance is a cautious leader, Allura is a party girl and brazen flirt, Pidge is a clueless idiot, and Hunk is a genius. Meanwhile, Lotor is still a villain, but he's soft-spoken, passive, and controls both the Castle of Lions and Voltron. Haggar is also still a villain, but also attractive and loving.
-->'''Allura:''' ''[observing her counterpart]'' I think I'm gonna be sick.

None

Added DiffLines:

* DoesNotLikeMagic: Reflecting on the original war, Zarkon feels he lost because he relied too much on Haggar's magic instead of technology. [[spoiler:He cautions Lotor not to make the same mistake, much to Haggar's annoyance]].


Added DiffLines:

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: As obsessed as he is with her, Lotor does actually love Allura and prefers keeping her alive while killing the others. Lance exploits this in "Gladiators" to win the shooting range challenge; the targets are made to look like the Voltron Force, and he knows Lotor will hesitate to fire on the Allura one, which gives him the win.


Added DiffLines:

* VillainBall: The contest between Lance and Lotor in "Gladiators" was all a distraction for Zarkon to obtain a powerful resource in another dimension. However, his attempt to get it threatened to break the dimensional wall and endanger all existence. Lance was willing to leave with the others to stop him, but Lotor angrily wanted to keep fighting, despite the stakes. To add insult to injury, Lance was willing to forfeit outright, but Lotor kept attacking him rather than take the easy win, so Lance beat him soundly in self-defense.


Added DiffLines:

* WhyAreYouNotMySon: A running thread in later episodes is [[spoiler:Zarkon regarding the robot Igor as a more worthy son than Lotor. It enrages Lotor to no end, and he frequently lashes out against Igor.]]

None

Added DiffLines:

* LotusEaterMachine: In the WhatDoTheyFearEpisode, Haggar's spider monster webs up everyone but Hunk and infects them with nightmare venom, forcing them to experience their worst fears.


Added DiffLines:

* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: Hunk remarks that fear gives him bad vibes that keep him focused and alert.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler:Zarkon's entire coup falls apart because Queeque and Lafitte tried to sell Amalgamous for spare parts. The Voltron Force took advantage to get Amalgamous back, reprogram him, and rally the Alliance back to their side.]]


Added DiffLines:

* PrincessesPreferPink: Allura normally averts this (due to both LimitedWardrobe and to match Blue Lion), but a few episodes during the latter half of the run do show her in a pink dress when not on duty.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
None

Added DiffLines:

* ArbitrarySkepticism: The rest of the team doubt Allura was talking to the ghost of Queen Ariella, despite this series and the original making heavy use of magic and featuring the occasional appearance of Alfor's ghost.


Added DiffLines:

* BittersweetEnding: "The Voltron Force Strikes Back" resolves the cliffhanger's most immediate problems, as Lotor is driven off, Voltron is back in action, and the team is safe on Arus. However, [[spoiler:Zarkon is firmly in control of the Alliance and has declared the team as wanted fugitives to be hunted wherever they go]].


Added DiffLines:

* CoDragons: Queeque and Lafitte are this to Lotor and Haggar[[spoiler:,who in turn are this to Zarkon]].


Added DiffLines:

* HeroWithBadPublicity: In Season 2, the Voltron Force gets demonized as outlaws that attacked Galaxy Garrison.
* IdiotBall: Amalgamous is a highly sophisticated robot that often reaches downright ridiculous conclusions and tries multiple times to disband the Voltron Force. [[spoiler:Justified because Zarkon altered his programming.]]

None

Added DiffLines:

* {{Cliffhanger}}: Season 1 ends with [[spoiler:Zarkon achieving his takeover of the Galactic Alliance, the Lions still destroyed, Arus under threat from Lotor, and the rest of the Voltron Force on the run]].


Added DiffLines:

* PreviouslyOn: "Queen Ariella" recaps "The Troika Moons" by having a TV reporter narrate the clips.


Added DiffLines:

* SadisticChoice: Lotor threatens to use his fleet to annihilate the Troika Moons (some of the most heavily and densely populated areas in the galaxy); he says he will spare the moons and surrender, but only if the Alliance destroys the Lions. Coran notes Lotor picked the perfect spot for this, saying Voltron would barely be able to save one moon and leave two others open to attack while doing so. Since the Lions belong to Arus, it's up to Allura to decide. [[spoiler:She opts to sacrifice the Lions to save civilians. The the rest of the team support her, except for Lance, who gets arrested trying to save Red Lion.]]

None

Added DiffLines:

* EnemyMine: Stopping Dracotron the first time around requires the Voltron Force and Lotor to work together. Haggar sees it as a pragmatic necessity, but Lotor can't stand having to do this. Allura is also a bit disappointed it's a one-time deal instead of a chance for change.


Added DiffLines:

* SaveTheVillain: With Dracotron on the rampage and after him and Haggar, Lotor calls Allura for help. Lance is willing to leave them to get pounded into paste, but he knows the others won't agree.


Added DiffLines:

* WomanScorned: Alfor rejected Haggar, which turned her to evil. She manages to capture his spirit in "Dark Heart" and transform him into a new Robeast.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
None

Added DiffLines:

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Lotor thought he could get Allura to marry him if he simply looked like his old self. He is floored when she still refuses; she says it's on what on the inside that counts and that that (not his cyborg face) is what's so twisted about him.


Added DiffLines:

* ProperlyParanoid: None of the team particularly like the reformed Zarkon, but Lance repeatedly questions his allegiance. [[spoiler:He's right]].
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: In contrast to Amalgamous, Zarkon is endlessly reasonable and polite about everything. [[spoiler:It's all an act to further his agenda, though Lotor admits he played the part surprisingly well]].
* ReassignedToAntarctica: In one episode, the team gets tricked into fighting Lotor's forces at a mining facility and cause a good bit of collateral damage. Amalgamous demotes them to mining detail to clean up the mess they made. It's all a scheme to leave them trapped on a planet with mutated bugs and the Castle of Lions unprotected.


Added DiffLines:

* SympathyForTheDevil: Allura loathes Lotor for the things he's done and his attempts to force her to marry him, but she admits at the end of "Bride Of The Monster" that she pities him for being such a twisted, unhappy person.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Lotor and Haggar routinely insult each other, regardless of the situation. [[spoiler:Father and son don't get along any better]].
