Voltron: Legendary Defender (Netflix series from TLA & Korra directors and Studio Mir)

[details=Spoiler]Is it me, or are the Holts basically the Bat-Family of Voltron?

Legit choked up in ep 2

EP4: We Sentai now[/details]

So apparently, Shiroā€™s return in season 3 and the subsequentā€¦

ā€¦ rolling back of Keithā€™s character developmentā€¦

ā€¦was due to interference from Dreamworks.

That Pidge up had some Eva feels but man had me holding back some tears.

Voltron S5 Trailer.

Release Date: March 2

So just found out Shiro is gay. I mean seriously WTF? I dont have anything against gays in the sense I dont give a shit what people do in their personal livesā€¦

But Ive seen an increasing trend in shows where it feels to me like there HAS to be a token LGBT person in every goddamn show.

I was enjoying watching this show with my kids but thats gonna stop now. Why do we HAVE to have a gay character in a show? Are we trying to say that unless someone like that in a show it cant be as good? Maybe I am venting for no reasonā€¦ but it is really disappointing.

Yeah it came out of left field but it makes sense. Not in the slash shipping way some fans are bound to take it but the show thanks to Pidge has a bit of a LGBT fanbase, who see her as a champion. The show itself feels more like it wants to pair her with Hunk or not go in a easy route. Shiro really makes the most sense and due to his popularity it will hit home more to avoid tokenism charge due to him being such a central character.

As long as the characterā€™s personality doesnā€™t change it is fine, he is transitioning to support role with Keith taking the reigns like they tried in season 3 so we will see but I hope they are good at it.

So Season 7 is out and so far it is the best!!

Season 8 is DOPE!!
Minerva got a huuuuge buff!!

Season 8 was meh. Season 7 was the best. Season 8 was a bit boring and underwhelming. The only cool bit was when dragonzord finally combined with megazord.

Didnt appreciate the shitty ending eitherā€¦ but meh wellā€¦ its all over now, but yeah shame about the crap, anticlimactic ending after all these episodes

How is it already season 8? Didnā€™t it just come out like a year or two ago? I havenā€™t followed it because S1 didnā€™t manage to pull me in but it seems like a lot of content in such a short amount of time.

It came out in 2016ā€¦and yeah its crazy.

Thatā€™s a lot of content out in less than 2 years.
Like, Iā€™d have worries of quality with content coming out that fast

The thing is they kept up the quality, with S7 being the current standout.

UPDATE: HOLY SHITā€¦HONERVA DEFINITELY GOT BUFFED!!! :hushed:

Another Childhood reboot in the books. I enjoyed the ride and S8 was a stage transition with some power ups. Maybe they can tackle thunder-cats down the road like the 2013 series did. Either way might need to snag some of those Voltrons figs too.

Finally saw season 8. Iā€™d be lying if I didnā€™t say I wasnā€™t close to tears in the end.

Close to tears due to how crappy it was and the time investment you made into the show going up in flames? Yeah, I hear ya.

Same here. Can honestly say i had a tissue handy for the ending on how things finished off. I had fun with it and would say hey give it a watch when you have some time.

Netflix Voltron low-key was one the best western animated series for the mid-2010s.
