King shit

All right, we really gotta talk about Keith’s eyes. As many people have noticed (see @storiesbeyondthestars‘s post here and this tweet here, for example), there’s something strange going on with them in these S8 images:
In both shots, his eyes look dull and devoid of life:
While other characters’ eyes, at a similar distance, still have the usual shine:
So the lack of shine in Keith’s eyes–but no one else’s–isn’t an error or a case of the artists just not giving a fuck. His eyes are intentionally being drawn like that, and it probably means that he’s going to be “corrupted” somehow in S8.
This is really interesting to me because I think the show has been constantly focusing on Keith’s eyes since the very beginning. Besides his hair (thanks Lance lol), his eyes are the first physical feature of his that we’re introduced to:
And whenever Keith is experiencing strong emotions, they’re often the only thing we see. This happens multiple times throughout the series:
Keith’s eyes are not only reflective of his emotions, but also change depending on his physical and mental state as well:
I think the show focuses on Keith’s eyes so much because they want viewers to pay attention to them and notice how they change. It’s like they’re treating his eyes like “characters” that add their own layer to the story.
So with that in mind, I think the marketing team is intentionally showing some interesting things about Keith’s eyes in order to give us hints about S8:
As mentioned before, Keith’s eyes appearing dull and lifeless in the promo images at the top probably means he’s being controlled or corrupted in some way. This dovetails nicely with the prevailing theories that he’s going to be captured or used as a pawn by Honerva.
Keith’s eyes in this scene from the S8 trailer make him look, as @storiesbeyondthestars puts it, “cornered and desperate”:
Keith doesn’t have his armor on, and he appears to be in a battle with only his BoM sword at his disposal. This might mean that he can’t use his bayard or the Black Lion, which explains why he looks so frantic. He could also be looking “cornered” because he’s outnumbered and fighting solo against multiple people (possibly Zethrid and her crew, which @the-red-paladins points out here).
Either way, it looks like Keith is at a disadvantage and he knows it. If that’s the case, then it’s possible that he loses whatever battle this is, Honerva “corrupts” him after he’s defeated, and then sends him back to Team Voltron.
I’m curious to see if Keith is featured in any more promo material. If so, I’ll be watching him closely to figure out if his eyes give us any more hints.
