Flushed Away

Flushed Away is a potential movie directed by user Our Green Tornado, based on Voltron:Legendary Defender & Megamind, both made by Dreamworks Studios. It is a mashup of Operation Shendak and Who Framed Emperor Zarkon?, two brainmade movies by the director. Keith may be a reckless idiot, but he's no fool, so it's Zarkon who ends up being flushed away into the Megamind universe.

And given in common things, the film is inspired by the 2018 movie A Wrinkle In Time.

Starring

 * Emperor Zarkon (voiced by Neil Kaplan, Kevin Durand as a young adult in season 3 episode "The Legend Begins")-Zarkon is the Emperor of the ruthless Galra Empire, and lord and master of most of the known universe after spending the last ten thousand years conquering a vast majority of it. He desires the Lions of Voltron, not only because they represent the biggest threat to his campaign, but because he is later revealed to be the Black Paladin before Shiro, from a time when most of the Galra were allies of the Alteans, and still possessing the Black Paladin bayard. As such, he views the Lions as his own property rather than seeing himself as a former chosen one to pilot the Black Lion. He is able to use his bayard in far more advanced ways than the current Paladins, able to form a myriad of energy weapons with which he can easily go toe-to-toe directly with the Lions themselves. In the last episode of Season 2, Zarkon faces Voltron and the Paladins in an experimental mecha armor and is defeated but left in critical condition, requiring life-support. By the end of season 3, his history is fully revealed and Haggar successfully reawakens him and he starts a manhunt for Lotor. In season 5, Zarkon confronts his son Lotor, which ultimately results in his death.
 * Zarkon Whatsit, one of the many teenage protagonists named Zarkon created by the same director and a gifted young digger from the outside world, born in a dirty village in somewhere in USA. He loves playing "god" to fictional characters. His Voltron form has Altean eyes and a purple streak in his hair. According to the director, his character is only the beginning of a long line of Zarkons and Zarkonis.
 * Megamind, an extraterrestrial mastermind who turns from supervillain to superhero and befriends both Zarkon and Zarkon Whatsit. He is a spoof of Lex Luthor and Brainiac, while his "Space Dad" persona is a parody of Jor-El as played by Marlon Brando in the 1978 film Superman. The DVD commentary notes that his costume and showmanship are purposely evocative of Alice Cooper.
 * Roxanne "Roxie" Ritchi, a TV news reporter who becomes Megamind's love interest. She is a spoof of Lois Lane.
 * Takashi "Shiro" Shirogane(voiced by Josh Keaton)-The Black Paladin, pilot of the Black Lion and Guardian Spirit of Sky. Leader of the Defenders of the Universe, Shiro was captured by the Galra Empire a year before the start of the series during which he was given a weaponized prosthetic right arm. A natural, decisive leader, Shiro is calm and always in control. Shiro's bayard was lost with the original Black Paladin. The Black Lion forms the head and torso of Voltron. In the last episode of Season 2, Shiro reclaims his bayard from Zarkon and is able to use it to transform Voltron's sword into a "blazing sword" to defeat Zarkon, but after the battle, it is revealed that he has mysteriously vanished. But in season three, it is revealed he was teleported to a Galra ship, escaped, and was eventually found by the team. The Black Lion did not accept him as it's pilot afterwards but when Keith was absent during an intense battle, he manages to re-establish his bond with the Black Lion.  In the last episode of season five, it is ultimately revealed that he has become an unwilling mole of Haggar, who controls his eyes to keep an eye on Lotor. After Keith and Romelle revealed Lotor's true intentions, Haggar took full control over Shiro. Keith took after Shiro, which ultimately led to a fight that would involve Keith cutting off Shiro's cybernetic arm. After the fight, Keith discovered that Shiro's soul was trapped inside of the Black Lion as his physical body died when he went against Zarkon. The Shiro that was with the Paladins since then was a clone of him. After the Paladins defeat Lotor, Allura uses her powers to transfer Shiro's soul into the clone's body, fully restoring him to normal (though turning his hair completely white in the process). He shares a divine connection with Sendak. He had a fiancé back on earth, named Adam, who broke their engagement off when Shiro insisted on going on the Kerberos Mission and later, he is forced to choose between his boyfriend and his nemesis.
 * Commander Sendak(voiced by Jake Eberle)-A ruthless and fearsome commander within the Galra Empire, Sendak was ordered to capture the Lions and destroy their Paladins, and almost succeeded had it not been for the efforts of Pidge. Sendak has a cybernetic prosthetic left shoulder and forearm connected by an energy binder that allows him to attack from a distance, using his arm like a flail or pull himself over great distances. He was captured by the Paladins and placed in suspended animation in an effort to glean his mind of information, only for Shiro to apparently dispose of him out of paranoia. It is later revealed in season five that Sendak survived and Haggar selects him as a possible contender for the throne following the death of Zarkon since she was ineligible as a contender due to her being an Altean. He becomes leader of the "Fire of Purification". He shares a divine connection with Shiro(and he almost died in the 22nd segment because of that).
 * Minion, a sapient talking fish who has been Megamind's sidekick and best friend since childhood. His costume is evocative of Ro-Man from Robot Monster.
 * Metro Man, Megamind's former nemesis. He is a spoof of Superman. The DVD commentary notes that his costume and showmanship are purposely evocative of Elvis Presley.
 * Hal Stewart/Titan, Roxanne Ritchi's hapless, dimwitted but nerdy cameraman who has unrequited feelings for her. His motivation throughout the film is to get her back to his apartment with him. He later becomes a villain named Titan(he misspells "Tighten"). The name Hal Stewart refers to Hal Jordan and John Stewart of the Green Lantern Corps.
 * Keith Kogane(voiced by Steven Yeun)-The Red Paladin, pilot of the Red Lion, overtaker pilot of the Black Lion, and Guardian Spirit of Fire. Formerly a cadet at the Galaxy Garrison before getting kicked out, Keith is an orphan and a lone wolf as a result. Keith engineered Shiro's escape when his pod crashed on Earth. Keith is sullen and temperamental in nature. Keith's bayard takes the form of a double edged sword, and it can create a large sword for Voltron to wield. With the bayards of the blue, green and yellow Lions, it can be made big enough to slice through giant warships. The Red Lion forms the right arm of Voltron. In Season 2, Keith discovers he has Galra blood, likely from his mother, from whom he was given a strange knife marking an affiliation with a secret rebel group of Galra called the Blade of Marmora. This revelation however put friction in Allura's trust in him for a while. During Shiro's absence, Keith takes over piloting the Black Lion in season 3 but at the start of season 4, Keith officially steps down as the leader of Voltron, handing the position back to Shiro so that he can continue to work with the Blade of Marmora. In season 5, Keith helps a fellow Blade named Krolia who is working undercover as a Galra Empire general and later revealed to be his mother. After Keith returned with Romelle, he went back to piloting the Black Lion.
 * Lance McClain(voiced by Jeremy Shada)-The Blue Paladin, pilot of the Blue Lion, overtaker pilot of the Red Lion and Guardian Spirit of Water. Lance was the fighter pilot of his team at Galaxy Garrison. Cocky and confident, Lance is the class clown of the paladins and likes to think of himself as a ladies man man. However, he can actually be quite sensitive, reflective, and distant at times when his teammates aren't around or when his guard is lowered. Lance maintained a rivalry with Keith. Lance is a natural sharpshooter and skilled marksman with his bayard taking the form of a rifle. The Blue Lion forms the right leg of Voltron. Lance is Cuban and grew up in or nearby Varadero. He deeply misses Earth and wants to complete the mission of destroying Zarkon so that he can return to his family which includes his mom, his brothers Marco and Luis, his sister Veronica, and his grandmother. Lance takes over piloting the Red Lion in the season 3 equivalent.
 * Katie "Pidge" Holt(voiced by Bex Taylor-Klaus)-The Green Paladin, pilot of the Green Lion and Guardian Spirit of Forest. Katie disguised herself as a boy named Pidge Gunderson to get into Galaxy Garrison to find out what happened to her father and brother who disappeared whilst on a mission which Shiro was also on. A technical genius, Pidge is the smartest member of the team able to create specialist modifications for the Green Lion such as a cloaking device (which only lasts thirty seconds) and she repurposed a Galran drone to work for her, naming it Rover (Rover sacrificed itself to protect Pidge). Pidge's bayard takes the form of a small, electrified blade which can function as a grappling hook. The Green Lion forms the left arm of Voltron.
 * Hunk Garrett(voiced by Tyler Labine)-The Yellow Paladin, pilot of the Yellow Lion and Guardian Spirit of Land. Hunk was the engineer of his team at Galaxy Garrison. A gentle giant with an equally large appetite, Hunk is the heart of the team, lifting them up and making peace between them. After witnessing first hand the devastation and misery that Zarkon's conquest of the universe has brought upon the people of various worlds, Hunk is determined to free those enslaved. Hunk's bayard takes the form of an energy cannon and it can arm Voltron with a large shoulder cannon that can shoot multiple targets. The Yellow Lion forms the left leg of Voltron.
 * Shay Garrett, Hunk's wife who is an alien from Balmera.
 * Princess Allura (voiced by Kimberly Brooks)-Crown Princess of Altea and the Pink Paladin, Allura is the last female Altean. Pilot and keeper of the Castle of Lions, a structure that is a castle and a spaceship, Allura was responsible for granting the Defenders their title and sending them on their mission to conquer Zarkon and liberate the universe. Gentle and a friend to all, Allura wishes more than anything to finish her father's work in stopping Zarkon. In season 3, she takes over piloting the Blue Lion. As an Altean, Allura's abilities include the chameleon-like ability to be able to blend in with a species (something that made her people incredible diplomats and explorers). She has a telepathic bond to some Altean mice that were in her cryo-pod with her. At the end of the Season 2 equivalent, Allura discovers she has magical abilities, though not much is known about them yet. Unlike her original counterpart, who was Caucasian and had blonde hair, she has brown skin and white hair. She is also the only character who speaks in a British accent.
 * Coran Hieronymus Wimbleton Smythe (voiced by Rhys Darby, Finn Darby (as a teen), Theo Darby (as a kid)) - The Royal advisor to Princess Allura and the last male Altean. Energetic and excitable, Coran serves Allura dutifully whilst being fiercely protective over her. He tends to ramble on and off about his past, particularly about his supposedly daring feats or past experiences. Despite his odd and quirky character, he is a reliable and steadfast ally to his princess and the Paladins.
 * Witch Haggar (voiced by Cree Summer and Lily Rabe as Honerva)-Formerly an Altean alchemist named Honerva, a mysterious and despicable witch, Haggar is Zarkon's wife, primary adviser, high priestess, and leader of the Druids, dark mystics who fanatically serve the Galra Empire. Haggar is both a dangerous sorceress and a mad scientist. She combines her unnatural magicks with abominable science to create powerful weapons to arm soldiers, terrible monsters (dubbed "Robeasts" in the second season) to fight Voltron, and leech entire planets (and other sources) of the mystical energy known as Quintessence. In battle, her magical abilities allow her to teleport, cast illusions, fog the mind with hallucinations, and use her hands to project energy blasts and shields. Haggar is revealed to be Altean in the second-season finale, and orders the remaining Galran commanders to summon their lord's son, Prince Lotor and is revealed to be Lotor's mother in season four as mentioned by Lotor when he refers her by her real name Honerva in addition to regaining memories of her being his mother in the season five equivalent. In the season six equivalent, Haggar finds and journeys to Oriande, a mystical realm, the birthplace of Altean alchemy. The trip restores her and she changes back to Honerva. She also reconciles with Zarkon Whatsit, whom she despised because of his name.
 * Prince Lotor (voiced by A. J. Locascio)-The Crown prince of the Galra Empire and son of Zarkon and Haggar. Unlike his father, he desires to inspire loyalty to the planets they conquer rather than fear to make the Galra Empire stronger. He is an expert combatant and cunning strategist. Like his generals, Lotor is not pure Galra, but is a hybrid, being half Galra and half Altean. After Zarkon awoke he dismissed Lotor from his duties and then declared open season on his life, after learning on what he was planning. With his generals turning against him and forced into a corner, Lotor assists the Voltron Coalition to win a harrowing battle at the last second, and offers a truce as he then becomes an ally to Team Voltron, despite reluctance at first. After killing Zarkon, Lotor became the new Emperor, despite the fact that he is only half-Galra and remains an ally to Team Voltron. t is later revealed that Lotor saved many Alteans from the destruction of their home world and deceived them so that he could harvest their quintessence, so that he could build a new Altean Empire. In the 24th segment, Voltron defeats him and despite Allura's offers to save him, he is left stranded in the rift.
 * The Avengers(mentioned)


 * Kolivan(voiced by Mark Rolston)-The leader of the Blade of Marmora, who is skeptical of trusting Voltron's Paladins and subjects Keith to a ritual of the Trials of Marmora after he refuses to give up a Galra knife he has possessed since childhood. When Keith succeeds in "awakening" the blade, he reveals that Keith has Galra blood. He later accompanies Keith and Shiro back to the Castle of Lions to meet with Allura, where he reveals that the Galra have learned of their existence, forcing them to step up their plans to take down Zarkon. This plan would involve shutting down Zarkon's command ship, enabling Allura to send it through a massive wormhole to a distant galaxy. During the battle between Voltron and Zarkon he joins Allura and Antok in battling Haggar and her Druids, and they succeed in defeating them though at the cost of Antok's life.
 * Thace(voiced by Mick Wingert)-A military officer of the Galra Empire, Thace betrays Zarkon by lowering a barrier to allow the Lions, their Paladins, and the Castle of Lions to escape. He is later revealed to be a member of the Blade of Marmora, a secret group of Galrans who are against Zarkon's rule. In the end, Thace sacrifices himself to ensure the success of the mission to defeat Zarkon, and dies with honor and satisfaction.
 * Ulaz(voiced by Arnold Vosloo)-A Galra Scientist, who Shiro remembers as the one who helped him escape the Galra Empire, and a member of the Blade of Marmora. He gives the Paladins coordinates to the Blade of Marmora's primary headquarters and sacrifices himself to save the Paladins.
 * Antok(voiced by Trevor Devall)-A member of the Blade of Marmora who serves as a brute warrior and who has a tail. After challenging Keith at the Blade of Marmora headquarters he joins Kolivan in boarding the Castle of Lions for the remainder of the second season. He, Kolivan, and Allura later board Zarkon's command ship in order to battle Haggar and her Druids, and Antok is killed as a result, his face having never been seen.
 * Slav(voiced by Iqbal Theba)-An eccentric genius who developed gravity-bending technology that could create a pocket of space-time capable of concealing an entire outpost from view or collapsing a Robeast from the inside. The Galra Empire was desperate to claim this technology, and imprisoned Slav in a highly fortified installation known as Beta Traz, where he was subjected to torture to extract his knowledge for use in creating genetic and technological enhancements for the Galra Empire. He was called upon to build another gravity generator to conceal an enormous Teludav, or wormhole generator, intended for use against Zarkon's command ship. His intelligence makes him aware of numerous alternate realities-so many in fact that he has difficulty distinguishing them from the one in which he currently resides.
 * Regris(voiced by Josh Keaton)-A member of the Blade of Marmora, who helps Keith and Kolivan during their mission before sacrificing himself in "Code of Honor". Like Antok, his face was never revealed.
 * Krolia(voiced by Ana Gasteyer)-A spy for the Blade of Marmora, and Keith's mother. After Sendak found the Red Lion, the Galra engineered a way to detect the Lion's signals at close range and Zarkon sent thousands of scouts out to search. The Blade embedded many agents into these scouting parties in an effort prevent them from finding anymore Lions. When Krolia's scouting party discovered the Blue Lion on Earth, she gunned down her fellow scouts to keep its location secret, but was shot down herself. She was rescued and nursed back to health by Keith's father and eventually fell in love with him. Over time, she considered being stranded on Earth a blessing and dedicated herself to protecting the Blue Lion, with help from Keith's father. Shortly after, Keith was born. She wanted to name him Yorak, but his father suggested Keith instead. One night, another scouting group arrived and Krolia and Keith's father set out to stop them. Though successful, her lover was injured in the fight. Realizing that the Galra could find the Blue Lion again, Krolia resolved to return to the Blades and continue fighting against the Galra from the inside. She kissed her infant son goodbye and left her luxite knife with her lover before departing. Some time later, she was stationed at Warlord Ranveig's base and assumed control of it following his presumed death at the Kral Zera. Keith was sent in to rescue her, not knowing she was his mother. Commander Trugg captured Keith, but Krolia was able to bargain their release in exchange for Ranveig's super weapon which, unbeknownst to all but Krolia, was in fact a deadly monster. She revealed herself as Keith's mother, but insisted they focus on their next mission: finding the source of the concentrated quintessence. Their search took them to a quantum abyss, where time and space are distorted and allows them to glimpse the past and future. During this, Krolia learns of the death of Keith's father through a vision. Riding on the back of a space creature, Krolia, Keith and a Cosmic Wolf they adopt finally arrive on the other side of the quantum abyss, though it takes them two years to do so due to the distortion of time and space. When they discover Lotor's secret colony of Alteans, they meet Romelle, who explains what happened to her brother Bandor after he escaped the supposed second colony. Reasoning the colony to be nearby on the planet's moon, they sneak in and discover thousands of Alteans being harvested for quintessence. They return to the Castle of Lions with this information and apprehend Lotor. When the Castle is shut down due to a virus planted by the mind-controlled Shiro, Krolia assists Coran with the repairs and later loads an unconscious Shiro into the Black Lion when the Castle is abandoned.


 * Romelle(voiced by Mimi Davila, Lacey Chabert in the 24th segment)-Romelle is an Altean descended from Alteans who were off planet during Altea's destruction by Zarkon. When they received word of their home planet's destruction, many went into hiding using their shapeshifting to blend in with other races. Using his knowledge of Altean culture, Lotor found many of these survivors and brought them to a hidden colony he built so they could hide. The colony and its descendants eventually came to worship Lotor as their savoir, but Romelle had many questions, in particular about a second colony Lotor had started. Only viable candidates could make the journey and contact was strictly forbidden. Having already lost her parents to this colony, Romelle pleaded with her younger brother, Bandor, not to go. Bandor, faithful to Lotor, assured her that she could join them some day and gave his sister a secret communicator. One night, Bandor contacted her and Romelle discovered him dying in a crashed pod. Bandor revealed the second colony was a lie, but Romelle knew she could not prove it to the others. By chance, she was discovered by Keith and Krolia, who had come to investigate the colony and they shared what information they knew. To Romelle's horror, they discovered that the Alteans taken to the second colony were in fact being harvested for their quintessence. Keith brought Romelle back to the Castle to testify this information to the Paladins in order to reveal Lotor's deceit and treachery.
 * Rolo(voiced by Norman Reedus)-A cheating alien bounty hunter who joins the Voltron Coalition with his partner Nyma and their cyber-unit Beezer.
 * Nyma McClain(voiced by Lacey Chabert)-An alien bounty hunter and partner of Rolo. She becomes Lance's girlfriend after Zarkon Whatsit threatens to drill a big hole in her head if she doesn't do so, and in the end, Nyma and Lance get married.
 * Beezer-A robot belonging to Rolo and Nyma.
 * Matt Holt(voiced by Blake Anderson)-Pidge's older brother. Much like his parents and sister, he is highly intelligent, and was accepted to the Galaxy Garrison after finishing high school. Along with his father and Shiro, he was a member of the Kerberos mission and was one of the three declared dead, prompting Pidge to infiltrate the Garrison in order to find him and her father. Immediately after the incident on Kerberos, he was abducted by the Galra, who sent his father to a labor camp and Matt and Shiro to fight in the gladiatorial ring. In an effort to save a terrified Matt from certain death, Shiro staged aggression towards Matt for being the one to fight first and injured him so that he would be exempt from fighting the gladiator. Some time after this, he was rescued from a Galra prison by a group of rebel fighters and worked alongside them until Pidge finally locates and reunites with him in the Season 4 equivalent, prompting him to join the Voltron Coalition. Matt is a young man, likely in his late teens or very early twenties, with light brown hair and features greatly resembling his sister. Prior to the Kerberos mission, he wore glasses, but gave them to Pidge when his vision was corrected in preparation for the mission and he no longer had a use for them. He has a scar that runs diagonally under his left eye, which he seems to have acquired in or after Galra imprisonment.


 * Commander Samuel Holt(voiced by Nolan North)-Matt and Pidge's father, who went missing after being taken prisoner of the Galra Empire during the Galaxy Garrison's expedition to Kerberos. Pidge has been searching for him and her brother Matt ever since. After being captured, he was separated from his two crew and sent to a work camp with prisoners deemed too weak to fight. He is ultimately discovered by his two children in season five, as they then reunite. After Zarkon's death and Lotor's ascension as the new emperor, he returns back to Earth.


 * Colleen Holt-Sam's wife and Matt and Pidge's mother who befriends both Zarkon and Zarkon Whatsit.

Trivia

 * The "Jammy Dodger", a weapon used by Zarkon Whatsit, is meant to be a reference to a machine of the same name from an 2006 movie, also entitled "Flushed Away". It is a drill-staff made from a piece of vibranium, a Solvernia reference and also a gift from Ultron after Zarkon Whatsit tells him that he's cool and the only object used to remember the AI after he sacrifices himself to save the world he so desperately wanted to destroy(reference to the director's other brainmade movie, The Avengers:Rage Of Ultron)
 * Zarkon Whatsit gives Zarkon heroic lessons in an education center that looks like the top floor of a 99-storey skyscraper, in courtesy of Megamind.
 * Hal Stewart falls in love with Haggar and later he is seen having sex with her, but the screen only shows a surprised Zarkon Whatsit and him telling Zarkon that "Hal and Haggar totally messed up".
 * Zarkon Whatsit's character is based on Simon from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
 * In the 11th segment, Zarkon Whatsit accidentally walks into the women's restroom in da space mall and gets trapped, and the next day, he is cornered by Galra soldiers but they congratulate him rather than tease him. Zarkon Whatsit finds out that the story had got mixed and realizes that when Zarkon called his minions and told them Zarkon Whatsit's secret, and when they told their fellow Galra about what happened, the details got totally mixed up:so the story went from Zarkon Whatsit accidentally walking into the women's bathroom at the space mall to him infiltrating the girls' locker room at Crossland High School. Zarkon Whatsit didn't want to set anyone straight, and becomes very popular within the Galra Empire, and everybody starts calling him the "Stealthinator"—someone even made him a "Stealthinator" headband.
 * At the 20th segment, when the whole event from the original show occurs, instead of Lotor lighting he Kral Zera and is crowned as the new Emperor of the Galra Empire, Zarkon Whatsit destroys the Kral Zera with a gigantic drill which he created with his Spiral Power and, after a short conversation, he tells Sendak that he is unfit to become emperor, stating that "Zarkon was my closest friend, and you're not the one who killed him. Thus, you're not the one I should be after.".
 * After Haggar turns back into Honerva, she asks Zarkon Whatsit if he can bring back her husband with the Spiral Power but Zarkon Whatsit tells her no, saying that "he is not God". Then Sendak yells at him, saying "How, in any way, would a filthy child like you replace my Emperor?!?!?!" Zarkon Whatsit tells him(and everybody) "No, I will never! Zarkon is dead! He's gone! But he's right there on my back, and here in my heart, he lives on as a part of me! If you're gonna dig, dig to the heavens. No matter what's in my way I won't stop! Once I've dug through, it means that I've WON! Just who the hell do you think I am?!?!?! I'm Zarkon. I'm not the legendary Emperor Zarkon. I'm ME! Zarkon The Digger!" This is, the only lines so far Zarkon Whatsit has quoted from the character he's based on. Subsequently, Sendak quickly kneels before Zarkon Whatsit, calling him "Sacred One".
 * In the 17th segment, Zarkon Whatsit sings Scarlett Johansson's Set It All Free, shouting out to the universe that Emperor Zarkon no longer needs his beloved wife.
