Alright.

Both are long-haired pretty boys who act as high-ranking members of a villainous empire dedicated to conquering the universe, and have special connections to said empire's ruler, Ren being Supreme Leader Snoke's apprentice and Lotor being the son of Emperor Zarkon. Both are supremely skilled swordsmen and possess special abilities that most people don't because of their heritage, with Ren being Force sensitive due to being Anakin Skywalker's grandson, and Lotor inheriting the Altean ability to manipulate Quintessence from his mother Honerva. Though they started out as antagonists working under the main villains, they both ended up betraying their rulers, killing them, and taking over their positions, while forming a strong connection with a female protagonist with the same abilities as them in the process, Rey and Allura respectively. However, while Ren still ended up being a villain in the end due to his own goals, Lotor became an ally to the Paladins of Voltron. They also have rather opposite personalities, with Ren hiding his fierce temper and anger issues under a stoic front, while Lotor incredibly cool-headed and hard to read at all times. Ren also possesses a tendency to go berserk on and off the battlefield, especially when things don't go his way, but Lotor has a graceful and fluid combat style, and knows to retreat when things go bad.
