Voltron

>>14321179
That it doesn't end up complete shit like the trailers make it out to be and the team doesn't do another korra

>>14321183
I thought it looked fine in the trailers. Only watched this one tho. Do we know how many episodes it's going to have?

eeeeeeeeeh cautiously optimistic. If nothing else it can't be worse than the last 2 times they tried this

>>14321179
I dont know shit about Voltron but this looks cool.

I trust the Legend of Korra animators to make a good looking show and that trailer basically proves that.

How many episodes is it?

>>14321200
Netflix as been proving themselves with a lot of their shows, maybe Dreamworks won't fuck this up if they're breathing down their necks.

>>14321210
I remember watching it as a kid but don't remember shit about the plot, I just remember wanting the toys a lot. I checked and I think it's 12 or 13 episodes

>>14321210
>I trust the Legend of Korra animators to make a good looking show

Do you also trust a windowless van that says FREE CANDY?

>>14321179
A pity the mecha has to be CG, but that's the norm these days. I'll look forward to Studio Mir's 2D animation, it should be good.

>>14321179
I'm not expecting much because it's not like Voltron has ever been that great of a show, but it looks like it could pretty decent by western /m/ standards. Not particularly fond of Voltron's design though. Cautiously optimistic.

Kind of hoping they remember Vehicle Voltron exists long enough to give it a cameo or something.

>>14321242
At first the CG upset me but after re-watching this trailer a few times It's growing on me

>>14321221
Incidentally, that's pretty much how the staff remembers Voltron too. The way they're going at making this one is as the awesome show you'd think it was, not what it actually is.

In theory, anyway, so we'll see on Friday.

>>14321299
If it turns out that way it'll be awesome. Haven't had faith in western mecha since Pacific Rim

>>14321179
My hopes are very, very low. And I'll be honest the Avatar dialog does exactly fill me with confidence. On the bright side, if it turns out to be decent, I won't be let down.

>>14321299

my big worries is that it would be nothing more than people wanking off to their own nostalgia *cough Ninja turtles*

>>14321330
Seems to be what most people in the thread feel. The good thing with not hoping for much is that if it's good it'll feel great.

Worried because the writers seem only able to write "snark"

If the characters can't take a show seriously, how can I?

>>14321353

seriously fuck this Joss Whedon shit

snark has it's place but not every character has to be the one spouting it

>>14321241

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4LZCyUg6IU

I would.

>>14321365
Post modern writing has this need to be very aware of the inherently artificial nature of writing.

It's fake, it knows it's fake, so let's move past the fake and enjoy the adventure itself.

>>14321378

I hate how eye rollingly cynical everything has become. It's not enough to just be self aware you have to let the world know how self aware you are and do everything shy of looking straight at the camera

>>14321353
>>14321365
On their website they describe all their main character traits and only one is described as the snarky one. It's not very hard to write mecha stereotypes so I have hope.

>>14321353
The scene into preview where a rescue has interrupted by the guy snarking about how the other guy was rescuing wrong was really, really annoying. I hope they don't have many scenes like that. It would suck out the tension.

>>14321392

yeah and if you look up the avengers profiles Im sure only ONE of them will be listed as snarky and irreverent

>>14321405
Probably, still cautiously optimistic.

>>14321400

Kai didn't say Lance was rescuing Shiro wrong, just that Kai wasn't going to let Lance be the one to rescue Shiro - presumably because Kai wants to one up Lance and prove himself a better person by doing it instead, even if it means doing so in the most petty way possible. I also imagine there's going to be a good bit of that kind of thing from Kai throughout the season as he works his shit out, and the show as a whole really, so I suppose you should brace yourself.

>>14321389
Cynical isn't quite the right word.

But you're right, it does kinda reduce fiction to being one big joke, as if it's unworthy of being treated with respect. Everything is a trainwreck, the only way to salvage is to take the first step and admit you were shit to begin with.

I like to believe it's just the zeitgeist of our generation, though. Eventually it'll run its course and people will take stories seriously, without impulsively writing it off as garbage from the getgo, without the need for a wink and a nudge as some seal of approval for quality work.

>>14321179

This show better has a kick ass OP that's all Im saying. That is one of the biggest weaknesses in modern western shows, not even hyping before the e[isode

>>14321183

Totally agree. It's probably going to be a remix of the old theme. It would be nice if it had vocals

Still hoping Shiro bites it so Keith can take his rightful place.

>>14321521
Probably do that for a season finale.

>>14321493
hey man, the first two eps were great, how where we supposed to know they were going to throw out the competent writers and replace them with potatoes with delusions of grandeur?

>>14321559
That season went downhill so fast.

>>14321545
The death of Shiro, Allura becoming his replacement and Sadak dying and replaced by Lotor will probably be the first season (since the original golion anime did pretty much cover that much in 13 or so eps)

>Shiro gets injured
>transferred to a hospital planet
>Commander Shiro's shuttle Craft was attacked by Lothor's forces.
>It when down.
>There where no survivors

>>14321570
Shiro probably gets lost, I'm guessing?

>>14321793

Well, considering they're using a bit of the Japanese version's terms and names this time around, what are the odds that Earth gets nuked?

>>14321830
They are only using the terminology though imo. The rest of the concepts is more from the American versions. For example the Android troops are directly a retcon from the Americanized version as the lack of any non-blue Galra including Haggar/Honerva who has also been changed to blue now.

>>14321419
By Kai you mean Lance and by Lance you mean Keith?
Get their names straight, anon.

>>14321353
Did you miss the part of the 80s and 90s where every character in most Western animation was spouting RADICAL snark instead? The only thing that's changed is the number of times "dude" gets used.

>>14321912
If it wasn't radical, it was a bunch of puns instead (see the old Mega Man cartoon).

>>14328503
They are just not the showrunners this time.

>>14329510

There's one Korra writer involved in the writing, and he's not even the main writer. The main writers/creators of Korra, and the ones responsible for pretty much all the worst decisions on the show, like constantly pandering to fans, pushing the love triangle and so on are not involved at all.

>The main writers/creators of Korra, and the ones responsible for pretty much all the worst decisions on the show, like constantly pandering to fans, pushing the love triangle and so on are not involved at all.

I think you underestimate how much Joaquim Dos Santos (the director of Voltron) was in the creative process of Legend of Korra. From what Michale and Bryan have revealed bts many of the dumber ideas such as pro-bending were all influences from him.

>>14329990

Quite possibly. I know nothing of him, nor have I looked in to Korra's bts drama. What I do know is that the two Avatar creators are big fans of love drama, love playing to and messing with fans and wanted to make many things in both Avatar and Korra worse, like originally wanting to make both Azula and Toph male. They were also the ones pushing for the shortened season order in Korra and for self contained seasons with no over arching plot by all accounts. Dos Santos may have made some bad decisions there too, but they certainly made many of the worst ones from what I can tell. I guess time will tell with Voltron though.

>>14329510

well shit. SPACE GAYS?

>>14330057
Pidge is actually a girl.

Pidge/Allura will be endgame material.

>>14330057

Again, that was purely down to Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko from what I can tell, and neither is involved in this show on any level.

>>14335156
Pretty sure he was. At least in the US version. Though I also remember Pidge being sweet on her too. Honestly, I felt like there was a lot of fawning over old school Allura in general, although not always in a romantic sense. Keith seemed fairly platonic, IMO but he was the bishiest so of course more people paired him with Allura.

>>14334909
The new one doesn't look like her at all.

>>14321179
I'd rather rewatch Zentrix.

>>14336370

It doesn't, because the old one doesn't fit with the new aesthetic and is fairly boring and generic. The new one might be cliché too, but not nearly as much for the Western market.

>>14321179

Some of the animation reminds me of Getter Robo Armageddon and GaoGaiGar.

>>14336380
The old one would fit the aesthetic. They made everyone except her clearly recognizable and match their classic design. The old is also better designed than this bland new design.

>>14336422

If you say so. Personally I think she's too obviously a princess as a design, and the new one de-emphasizes her royalty by making the crown simpler and less prominent and doing away with the choker altogether, while making her a little exotic (white hair) looking since she's at least from an alien culture, which to me feels appropriate. And also less generic or boring.

>>14336370
Which seems to be the point. I doubt Allura's portrayal in the past would hold up to modern day scrutiny so the writers probably figured they'd deviate from the original design to further emphasize the changes they made to her character.

Then again it might just be an attempt to make her more genuinely alien than 'simple human living on another planet far far away'. I'm hoping there's more to her alien nature than looking like an elf though.

>>14336460
The new one is actually more generic and boring.

>>14321179

It probably would. She was always the most proactive member of the original.

>>14336463
>I'm hoping there's more to her alien nature than looking like an elf though.
I doubt it.

I'm not saying that any of the 2 design is superior. But the new princes did get my attention when scrolling the page.

I guess she stands out the most while the rest is new but made to look more or less the same.

Even the bot is more sleek and rounded since they don't have to make toys of it now.

>>14336491
>Even the bot is more sleek and rounded since they don't have to make toys of it now.
Actually the proportions are now more toy accurate to the original toy than the original animation model.

>>14329586

Not a chance in hell. The image you posted is very politically incorrect.

>>14336475
Being proactive is nice. Not so much if you end up needing to be rescued or are just plain ineffective. She's one of the earliest examples of the fake action chick.

Honestly they'd probably just update her by ditching the pink dress and styling her as a more modern blonde.

But I have to agree that, unless they like turn her into Samus, she'd feel pretty throwback amongst all the other things they're doing. Not the least because most every cartoon these days has some token tan/brown character in the main cast to make it feel more diverse.

She wasn't much better when she was IN a lion. Almost every sortie she makes she ends up spiraling out of control or crashing and she needs others to pick up her slack. She was such a screw up that just about anybody who came along was offered her piloting slot.

>>14339679
Probably. One of the reviewers said we'd see a familiar face.

Hah. I knew there'd be fart jokes.

So, I grew up watching the english dub, fucking loved it, but I was like 6 at the time.

20 years later, I buy a few dvd's, and wow, the dub did not age gracefully. I'm sure if I found episodes of Golion, I may appreciate more, but goddamn that english VO.

I saw the previous reboot, which tried to act as some pseudo-continuation of the english dub. The whole production seemed like it was tripping all over itself, trying to hook kids (especially with those hard light weapons) and fans of the old show. It failed in both regards. The design for Voltron himself was "meh" at best, it looked like Derrick J. Wyatt designed it.

Now I look at this trailer and this design. And I have to be honest, it looks really legit. Voltron's design reminds of Super Robo designs from the 90's, which fascinates me personally, so I welcome it with both arms. Animation looks great, definite improvement.

All in all, I can't wait to see this.

FFFUUUUUU!

It can't be watched on Netflix Global, only on Netflix US... Now I have to wait the whole day for torrents/streams....

- Plot is relatively close to the original GoLion Anime and not the Voltron cartoon

- The look and feel of the show is The Legend of Korra + Giant Robots and mixed with sausage fest

- Lance is DEFINITELY Sokka

- Pidge looks, acts, and talks too girly for a boy he'd be mistaken for a trap and guys onto him wouldn't mind, seriously!

- Plenty of anime and other cartoon cameos if you can spot them

- Sucks it has no theme song and soundtrack could be better (the only flaw I can see so far)

- Some dialogue could use some work

I'd give it an 8/10 for the pilot. Watching the rest now.

I thought the humor was pretty ON POINT for the most part.

>"I say pop through a worm hole and live to fight another day."
>"I second that. Yes. We tried to find all the lions, right? We gave it the old college try. Couldn't do it. We only have three. We can't form Voltron... I mean, I guess we could form a snake. OR A WORM! To go through that hole, Lance, that you were talking about!"

I was dying.

There was an interesting point in that vein, in that Star Trek movie retrospective series Entertainment Weekly is doing.

> “We’re both extremists,” says Kirk. “Reality is probably somewhere in between us.” Imagine that: Here at the end, Kirk and Spock seem to finally understand what they have always symbolized. “Everybody’s human,” says Kirk. “I find that remark insulting,” zings Spock. In another movie, in the hands of a lesser filmmaker, with two lesser actors, this might all feel too cute, too self-aware. But history permeates this conversation, and sadness, and hard-won truth.

> (Compare this to, say, Civil War, when Iron Man says he used to be Captain America’s friend, and Captain America does everything for his friend Bucky, and you find yourself struggling to remember any time these characters have just been friends, onscreen, humans who seem to know each other, not chess pieces getting pushed around a three-dimensional board.)

About as good as Legend of Korra. So pretty stellar more often than not.

>>14339769
>Pidge looks, acts, and talks too girly for a boy he'd be mistaken for a trap
Sorta reminds me of Maskman's Igam in that vein, but obviously more feminine.

Pidge is a Gendo.

Any references to Vehicle Voltron?

My biggest gripe so far is how much time sometimes passes between transitions. Like they're fighting Sendak and end up trapping him behind a force field. And then it transitions to some time later, taking place in the same room, and that force field is now gone... yet they don't tell us how or where they moved Sendak. Like, I know I'll find out next episode, but it was just sort of jarring when one second he's there, and then less than a minute later he's gone without explanation.

>>14340044
>Miwa is so hated that he actually got a more humiliating fate in SRW

In MX he turns up during the MP Eva fight / Rahxephon finale in a Gilgazamune, it's weird as fuck

I think he spawned next to Zeorymer when I played that mission.

Aaaand finished. Fucking cliffhangers. But at least Shiro lives.

>>14339819
More like a Lion Centipede.

>>14340079

Yes, the show is pretty fast paced. Things happen near constantly, and there's little down time. As soon as the first three pilots are introduced, things start exploding. Not too long after Keith and Shirow are introduced, a lion is found and they leave Earth. The show went from 0 to 100 in a few minutes.

Also: "This hand of mine glows with and AWESOME power! It's burning grip tells me to defend the universe!"

Why do they keep calling them lions when they have no manes? Wouldn't they be closer to tigers? Or are they female lions considering they have no manes and hunt in packs?

I realise it's adapted from Golion, it just appears to be weird to call them lions when, presuming they're supposed to he male considering the audience and pilots, they have no mane, which is synonymous with a male lion and perhaps the single biggest defining part of one.

So... no Lotor so far?

>>14340210
Most likely saving it for S2 whenever that comes out

It's not avalible outside US? I have to wait for rips?

>>14340206
Not all male lions have manes. That black lion should definitely have one though.

>>14340255
Germany here just watched the first episode.

>>14340255
For what it's worth I'm watching it on the UK Netflix. Doesn't have the FIEGS audio options most Netflix Originals have though so who knows.

>>14340255
Depends. Can't watch it from Russia, but other Europe seems has no any problems.

>>14340277
>>14340278
>>14340283
Thanks, guys. Unfortunately, I live in Russia, so I have no legal ways to watch it, I guess. It's a pain to be an anime fan in Russia.

Based on his first five minutes I am either going to love space butler or hate his very existence.

>>14340261

Only Tsavo lions don't have them though isn't it? They'd be in a minority at the very least. I think I'm just gonna end up thinking of them as female at this point.

I actually like the soundtrack when it does it's whole 80s synthwave thing.

Do Keith and Lance have shirtless scenes?

You know that Photo of Paige and "his Girlfriend" is an obvious tell but it's going to blow some kids mind come the pay off.

>>14339663
The show runners have said that was the intent.

>>14339955
Blame Dreamworks, they don't allow Netflix to show any of their shows.

Which is weird because all of their older movies and specials are viewable internationally.

>>14335143
Picked the fuck up

>>14339960
Wait, it just hit me. Are you asking who Norman Reedus is? If so he's mainly known for The Walking Dead character Daryl Dixon. If you ask anyone who watches the show they either love or hate him (partly due to his fandom).

>>14340377

How To Train Your Dragon tv show is there though, so they allow at least some since that's a Dreamworks property.

>>14340386
Yeah that's what I said, the older shows and movies they allow everywhere, but the actual made for Netflix exclusives aren't.

>>14340386
Maybe it's the licence stuff. God knows what bullshit contract Toei wrote up regarding Golion.

If it's anything like their UK Sailor Moon and Digimon contracts...

>>14340353
I want to know if Lance has chocolate nipples.

Finished watching it in English and it was great. Probably do a re-watch in Finnish to check the dub quality.

>>14339727
Where are you exactly? Shows up just fine in Finland and the list of dubs in the end credits suggests it's out pretty much everywhere except Japan.

I'm on ep.5

- Alura's "I know your secret" look from the past episode was great.
- Those ships Hunk and Moustache-man fly in REALLY look like R-Fighters. I guess it's the canopy....
- "What does the sky look like?" My heart....
- Pidge being a girl was barely a secret. Pidge was way, WAY too feminine in all ways up to this point.

>>14341069
Is there any shirtless Keith? Or Lance?

>>14341087

Team Volion is too busy being raided for such shenanigans. Also Lance is unconscious until the next episode.

I somehow have this image of this being in SRW already. Or, in a more convoluted way, LD Voltron being a Golion upgrade. That'd be fun.

Don't acknowledge him, this guy ruined a whole /srwg/ thread with this shit.

Pidge's secret is barely a secret in the otherwise solid Finnish dub. The voice could go either way, but if it weren't for the teasing about "his" girlfriend, I think most kids would just assume she's a girl. Since Finnish language lacks gendered personal pronouns, there are almost no references to Pidge being a guy in the pilot. There are quite a few places where they could have easily had somebody call him "jäbä" or "hemmo" or some other equivalent of dude if they wanted to mask her gender better, but I guess they didn't think about it at all.

>>14340793

I'm still calling it, Shiro is a mole for Zarkon without being aware of it, sent to find Voltron then bring it to him when the time comes. Notice how his arm started acting up when the guards approached and he suddenly began punching the shit out of them while having no idea how he did it.

Then there's also the "I can't remember anything that happened during past year" element. Memories removed so that he doesn't remember the fact he is being sent back as a mole.

>>14341616
Golion could work in English too: Goliath and lion.

>>14341648
WTF is a bayard?

>>14341660
