The fusion sequence was nonsensical, and the plot barely made any sense. The story keeps jumping around visually and it's hard to get any grasp on where the characters are, overall it just felt really disjointed and disappointing after such a great buildup since season 1 :/

I don't get it

A zenith of a story should be its ultimate build up and its ultimate show of amazing.
This is anything but. It makes no sense and ends on such a disappointing and sour note that all of the super Altatrons will never make it better.
(and that scene wasn't even that great.)

Confusing clunky mashup

Warning: Spoilers
Only good thing in this episode is the fusion between the Atlas and Voltron as we get to see Shiro being a paladin again and all of them working together once again. Visually impressive, but that is it. The lack of sense behind the fusion is ok, it is a kids show happening in magical space lore. But what does not make sense is a lot of what is happening around them. Everything seems to come out of a need to show every characters we ever saw through the series to give some sort of last goodbyes and also to be able to sell toys from the franchize. But after a season like this where so much efforts seemed to have been put to destroyed what have been beautifully built through 6-7 seasons, I would doubt anyone will do. This was clunky and visually even didn't make sense most of the time.
Also as mentioned in last episode review: A confusing pursuit that makes no sense happens while everyone jumps between realities. Although it was explained before that other realities do exists and also that sincline has the power to jump between them maybe, this ends up being a lot of running, hiding, running, hiding, running again and that never ends. The goal of Honerva might be clear here, but this was poorly done and completly confusing. In the end, she finds a reality that goes downhill right away and serves only to show he obsession and a try to make us have pity on her after all she did to all those people. We get to see also the Atlas has absolutely no security whatsoever because for the second time, the prisoners break out and reach the bridge and this time we get to see Shiro use a gun to defend himself (what the hell is that logic ?) and get kicked out in an easy move and not get up after a long while. It seems like they forgot when they wrote this all the developpement they gave him as the champion, then the black paladin and how strong they have shown him to be. There were so much efforts this season to show us how weak and umimportant they wanted him to be. The graphics might have looked great here, but this feels like nothing but a very badly written fanfiction here.
