LOVED this series! Loved it! I spent my entire Saturday binging the shit out of this! Now I’m pissed that I didn’t pace myself because it’s only one goddamn season and it ended on a hell of a cliffhanger!!
Only complaint: Voltron seems pretty weak compared to his 80’s counterpart, no more one hit kill after the sword appears; but that’s okay, this is still a young team and they haven’t unlocked his full potential yet and I like seeing them unlock their lions’ special weapons.
Pidge? That glasses wearing kid? It’s a girl, right? I could tell the first time I saw the character in the first episode. I’m sure there’s an episode where she “comes out.”
This is some shit you respond with “oh, cool” and keep it moving, but I have a feeling it’s anything but that with SJW shitmongers.
I give it that it did do some pander a bit in the early season and for the finale,
(.…Though we all won out as far as Korrasami’s concerned!!; but it was tolerable compared epic action and story that was going on in the seasons. Amon, Book 3, Queen of the Hands aka Kuriva, and etc.
when Voltron first went on the air in the early 80s we kids all thought it was the shit.
Then i saw the mex dub while in Puerto Rico and heard the original japanese music + the violence and gore that the American dubbers edited out…and then i realized the unedited mex version was 1,000x better than the “safe for kids” American version.
Then i came back to the states and when Voltron came on tv…i realized it was shit.
i turned it off. Never watched Voltron again until fairly recently on Crunchyroll.
Mex dub still better cuz they improved the writing from the original jap script.
So i just started watching this show and, while it has some stuff i don’t like, it seems like a MUCH more worthwhile and respectable revival than the last two attempts. Props. Although it pissed me off the way they learned to form Voltron in the 2nd-3rd episode.
I was really hoping in the midst of their training that a robeast was going to show up for a surprise attack. With an epic fight ensuing and them getting their asses handed to them. Then at their worst point, they band together and unite.
Nope. How did they come together to finally form Voltron as a team? After a foodfight. A foodfight!!
