Quote:...Veteran producer Mark Gordon has teamed with music producer Pharrell Williams, World Events Prods. and producers Mark Costa and Ford Oelman to make a big-budget feature of the 1980s giant robot kids TV series and toy sensation. The World Events "Voltron" animated TV series debuted in 1984, about at the same time as Hasbro's Transformers toy line, igniting a morphing robot phenomenon. ...

If they did it right, I could dig that.

I ran into some old voltron cartoon tapes back in the day. One was a 30 minute episode, the other was a 90 minute episode. It took me a week to watch; it was so bad.

The plot of every episode: (done 3 times in the hour and a half episode)
-Bad guy comes in
-Voltroners jump in their robot cats to fight and eventually get their asses kicked
-Bad guy comes back
-Voltroners form up into their large robot and do some damage but eventually start getting their asses kicked again
-Bad guy won't go away
-Voltroners form their sword and split the bad guy with on fell swoop, thus ending the bad guy with a simple manuver that could have been done in the first 3 minutes of the episode
-The end

Well it's a tried and true method. If it ain't broke, don't fix it?

and thus came the mighty morphin power rangers

Voltron was way better than anything Power Rangers ever hoped to be.

Anyone watched the new Netflix iteration of Voltron?

I've gone through about 8 episodes of the new series and its not bad... some interesting changes/plot twists to it that I don't recall being done in the original cartoon but...

I've watched the first four episodes, and I've liked what I've seen. In talking to a friend, he said that they tried to please every Voltron fan and - in his mind - they succeeded. I find it difficult to disagree with his sentiment.

Well, I have enjoyed the fact that there isn't a new RoBeast every episode that Voltron has to fight lol.... I would say that I think they underused ______'s sorcoress aide though.

I don't think Net Flix has put their own shows out on physical media yet. I could be wrong though...

I think House of Cards got that treatments as well but I don't think Daredevil has...

Hallway through the new Voltron series and I really like it. More humor than I expected.

Halfway through here too. Interesting about the change in Pidge, want to see how that plays out.

My daughter (13 y.o.) thought that was true about Pidge all along, so we got a good laugh out of it.

I randomly remember as kids when we played with Voltron toys if we had a second girl in our group she always played with Pidge as a girl. Guess it was too obvious even back then.
