“We’ve luckily had a number of episodes for people to know these characters,” Montgomery tells Inverse after the release of Voltron Season 6 on Netflix. “Since we’re so familiar with these personalities, it’s fun to see how that translates to this imaginary world, but still see their personalities come through.” …
“Hunk, as a Paladin [of Voltron], he’s a tank, but you know he’s this gentle soul,” explains Montgomery. “In ‘Monsters & Mana,’ he’s a healer and a mage, and not a close-quarters fighter. It’s fun to play with that, to see what their true personalities manifest as in this other world.”
Shiro, meanwhile, is still Shiro, to the chagrin of his friends. … “It was us making a joke that Shiro was ‘Mr. Hero Guy,’” Montgomery says. “We had to bend over backwards to make him interesting by giving him his tortured past. He was probably the closest to your cookie-cutter hero, and we generally find that boring. So we were making a joke at Shiro’s expense that this is what he does and all he wants to do.”
