Does anyone know when the next season is supposed to air? It seems like the show is picking up traction in the webosphere
>>84276997
Rumor has it that it might be as soon as December.
Gonna post the comic preview here, it generated a decent amount of discussion last thread.
>"From days of long ago, from uncharted regions of the universe comes VOLTRON: LEGENDARY DEFENDER! When Team Voltron takes on a dangerous training mission in deep space, Coran, Princess Allura’s majordomo, is captured by an ancient enemy. It will take teamwork, smarts, and, of course, Voltron, to save their friend’s life. This galaxy spanning adventure is a never before seen chapter of the epic animated series reboot by show writers Tim Hedrick (Avatar: The Last Airbender) and Mitch Iverson."
Part 1 is due out July 13th.

Why can't they work faster?
We give those asians good quality rice and they take this long to animate?
>>84277051
This and the next page are one of the better references I've seen for the visual differences between the lions. I never really could tell what variations blue, red, and green had other than color before.
>>84277064
The Muldoks are fucking huge; nearly as big as the green lion. Also the name "muldok" just screams "generic alien race" to me
>>84277064
They each have different mouths and fangs. For example Yellow's underbite, while Blue is the most "conventional".
>>84277082
Is Pidge making a bad pun here? Also what the heck is a gravity halo.
>>84277082
Interesting that despite being the Knight of Sky, Shiro's shown in the OP and this comic as flying his lion through space tunnels and the vacuum of space, rather than places with low gravity, high wind conditions, or gas giants. In Japanese philosophy they make a distinction between sky as in space and sky as in wind, and it seems like Shiro is being treated as the space form. Which is also the fifth element aka quintessence in Greek philosophy.
>>84277100
I find it implausible that any place of business still exists, in any form, after 10,000 years. For reference, 10,000 years ago, humans were just developing agriculture for the first time.

More importantly who the hell survived long enough to remember Coran from ten thousand years ago?
>>84277195
Megas was such a great show
>>84277128
I want to know the Black Lion's special attack abilities. Red can shoot fire, Blue shoots ice, we don't know Green but for now it can turn invisible, Yellow doesn't seem to have any but they do point out its insanely high DEF stats in place of that. But Black Lion just has the standard beams and mouth blade that all the lions seem to have, and a pair of wings it doesn't really use.
>>84277245
You could argue that Yellow's ability to bodily smash into stuff to great effect is its special attack. That kinda feels "earth-ey" to me.
I'm really curious if Green is gonna get a special ability on its own. I'd love it even if they just mentioned "oh, Green is the most suited to modifications.
I agree, though. Black Lion is so visually different from the others, it's weird that that isn't reflected in its abilities.
Delete this thread! There hasn't been a new episode in nearly a month. You can have your Voltron threads back when the new season comes out.
>>84277471
Conversely, the show's been out for less than a month, and there's a comic coming out in a week.
>>84277245
>wings it doesn't really use
I just kind of assumed they were massive boosters a la Tallgeese that simply haven't been highlighted yet.
I'm assuming we won't see Black's special function until its Bayard is used.
>>84277635
>I'm assuming we won't see Black's special function until its Bayard is used.
Speaking of, I know some people have noticed that the Black Bayard is used in the intro sequence, but I've not seen anyone note that we don't actually see the Paladin's face. It might not be Shiro.
When will we see the bitch?
>>84277766
Could be a flashback of Zarkon or someone else. I don't think that's Shiro.
>>84277766
People have, it could be Shiro or Zarkon, or it could be Allura or Keith. I think they're keeping it vague on purpose.
>>84276997
I haven't seen this show yet. I was interested because I liked LoK and I was excited to hear Studio MiR and Dreamworks were working with Netflix when that news came out a while ago. Is it something I would like if I enjoyed LoK but was never really into the old Voltron?
>>84277991
Personally I like it better than LoK(I've also never seen old Voltron). The setting is obviously very different, but I think the things you probably like from the LoK writing are intact here, if not better.
The characters who've been given decent screentime are pretty likeable, the ones who we haven't seen as much of have potential. No one is super shoehorned into an archetype, they all have their own personal quirks.
The action is really nice when they're on foot, though I don't really think the mech fights are anything to write home about.
I'd say the worldbuilding is a bit less coherent than AtLA/LoK, since handwaving things in a sci-fi-ish setting is more noticeable, but it hasn't bothered me *too* much.
>>84277991
Maybe? The writing is more like the original Avatar than Korra, also you don't need to know that much about the original Voltron to enjoy it though it helps if you do because of all the namedrops and throwbacks.
>>84278078
I wish the Lions got battle damaged, I think it'd add a lot to the mech fights. As-is they just sort of sometimes stop working for no visible reason when they get hit a lot. The stakes feel very nebulous, since as far as we can tell they're completely indestructible.
>>84278078
>The setting is obviously very different, but I think the things you probably like from the LoK writing are intact here, if not better.
I can believe that since I was disappointed in the writing of LoK even though I enjoyed so many of its elements and ideas
>The action is really nice when they're on foot, though I don't really think the mech fights are anything to write home about.
I was never a fan of mech fights to begin with but if the series has action outside of that then I'm good.
>>84278106
>Maybe? The writing is more like the original Avatar than Korra
Oh, even better
>also you don't need to know that much about the original Voltron to enjoy it though it helps if you do because of all the namedrops and throwbacks.
Awesome. Now that I think about it I think I did watch a little Voltron as a kid and I remember having at least one big toy from the series. I'm going to check this out.
>>84278130
Well we can see the lions with some scuffed paint on some of the closeups though it's not much.
>>84278179
The mech action in this show is way better than Korra's. None of those schlocky Sato Big Daddies or Kuvira's retarded Tetsujin-28.
>>84278222
True, it's definitely better than the Korra mechs (which always felt super out of place to me anyway), though I still don't like it as, say, old Zoids or something(which I think is comparable cause robot kitties)
>>84277195
this is fucking terrifying, did he really just fucking crushed those guys inside their mech?
jesus fucking christ.
>>84278222
I wasn't even thinking of the mechs from LoK, they were complete ass.
I meant more generally, I was never a huge fan of mechs with a couple of exceptions like Big O, G Gundam, and Zoids.
>>84278261
>>84278384
The CG mechs in this show are surprisingly well-integrated with the 2D animated stuff.
>>84278528
True, I think they *look* good (well, voltron's design has always looked kinda dumb but whatever), but I'm just not impressed by the action scenes they've been in so far.
I think another factor(in addition to lack of real battle damage) might be the effortless flight they have, even in gravity. They have no sense of weight for the most part, and big stompy mechs are my JAM
>>84278585
>They have no sense of weight for the most part, and big stompy mechs are my JAM
I think I get you. I really like Big O and its mechs and fights because they feel like they have the weight you would expect a machine of that size to have. Its like watching construction vehicles fighting which is awesome.
I just want more of these two interacting, like I could see them playing video games together or something. Probably with Hunk too. I feel like they'd have good banter.
>at work

>>84278976
I just find it hard to believe they'd have kids training for ship crew. Everybody in their class looks at least 16.
Then again, Pidge could be smart beyond her years and lied about her age to get in.
>>84279367
Yeah, the most compelling argument to me for why Pidge might be young is that, well, she entered the Garrison under a false identity, so none of its requirements are really relevant.
>The different skin tones were added so the characters wouldn't all be white this time around
... But none of the characters were white in the first place.

Are-- are you the same person from a few threads back? You posted the same thing with the same image. Do you just want to start fights over the mice. I can't blame you.
I get wanting to have the show's namesake mecha present from the get-go and all, but I wish the writers had had more faith in the show and let it take most of the first season to get all the Lions together and assemble Voltron.
It'd have so much more impact if it was something they spent a long time working towards, and they could devote a whole episode to each Pilot finding their Lion, what their bond with their Lion is like, and generally digging into their character.
Then when they finally formed Voltron it could be this really huge, cool, badass moment. I dunno, I agree with the complaints that the first couple episodes feel really rushed, and I wish they'd gone about it differently.
>>84277160
Ahaha, Coran took them to a dive bar. I want them all to get drunk and have Shenanigans.
>>84277212
good point
>>84280228
I do not. They're fucktarded.
They do give excuses for Allura to be adorable though.
Pidge frequently getting so wrapped up in work that she forgets to eat, sleep, or shower might be sort of a headcanon, but it is my favorite one.

Years of not liking futa but having other /d/ fetishes is serving me well in this regard. Why is there so much homolust in the Voltron fandom though? Not sure what made it crystallize so hard in this show.I wish we had more Amazon Allura stuff
>>84281672
It's animesque and has a main cast that's 5 and a half men out of seven. Do the math.
>>84281765
I don't go to /a/ ever. I assumed it'd be more moeshit and waifuism. Is fujoshit the third pillar here? Which is fine I guess. Not like /co/ isn't ultra gay for Dick either.
>>84277991
I've never seen LoK, but I can say that this show is considerably better written and animated than old Voltron which really suffered from formulaic MotW structure. Pretty good action and visual design.
>>84280947
I just that realized Pidge's little bot is Illuminati.

Not sure how new you are to action cartoons since the early 2010's, but it's specifically designed to attract the fujoshit and tumblr audience.
>4 of the 5 paladins are guys.
>they fit various fetishes - Hunk and Shiro are bara, Lance and Keith are twink/anime pretty boy.
>first episodes is clear to determine what'll be the most prominent homo ships - Shiro and Keith through touching and past relationship, Lance and Keith through obvious rivalry.
>meanwhile Pidge isn't a guy but her whole boy coverup thing is huge bait for tumblr and it's SJW deal with trannies.
>show resembles anime with its art style.
It's a good show, but it's definitely tumblr bait because that's where the money is now - Netflix shows especially.
It wouldn't even surprise me at all if this was an experiment to see what they could get out of the newfound tumblr audience, which is primarily comprised of older viewers like teens and college kids, rather than actual kids (which is still what most of the outdated networks and the cable channels are still specifically aiming for.) It's the reason why Steven Universe is a success.
Kind of like how Samurai Jack is getting an M-rated reboot for adult swim - because children today don't give a fuck for action shows on network or cable TV. Hence going for the nostalgia bait move, "growing it up" with its original target audience, and maybe getting some modern teens or older children interested because they want to watch mature cartoons for mature viewers such as themselves. You know, that kind of deal.
And if we aren't getting a canon gay relationship in this show, then I sure as hell am expecting a shit-ton of gay baiting to make up for it.

>typical opposites with a rivalry-turned-friends shit

>>84283173
Oh, don't worry, that wasn't exactly what I meant. I knew that it would get some shipping traction when I saw the episodes the first time, but I didn't expect the ship to pretty much overshadow everything else by a wide margin.
>>84283256
I kind of did.
Shiro embodies a specific taste, he's very bara-like in his appearance.
Where as Lance and Keith are pretty boys, which is safer and more common in fujoshit crap overall.
>>84280228
I saw a theory from tumblr that the mice's designs reflected some of the the OG Voltron crew (Keith/Lance, Pidge, Hunk, Allura) excluding Sven
Then theorized they are connected to this universe's OG Paladins now that Zarkon was revealed as the Black Paladin

>Lance and Keith are pretty boys
Lance is considered a pretty boy? Keith definitely is, with those big eyes and feminine profile, but Lance has that "gag character" look that makes him completely unappealing to me.
>>84283528
>MUH WEBSITE WARS
Grow the fuck up. Christ.
>>84283635
Lance is so heavily used for gags that he's almost always drawn in exaggerations, but when he's drawn straight he has that kind of "boy next door" appeal.
I wouldn't call him pretty, but rather intentionally above average good-looking, and a bit more rough-hewn next to Keith. That makes him the closest thing to "the other pretty boy" available.
>>84283635
He's a nice shade and has decent hair, an expressive and angular face and a good voice actor. If this were live action he'd be the scorching nerd everyone pretends is totally unappealing because they wear frumpy clothes or something.
>>84283922
Yeah, Jeremy Shada's voice endears Lance to me more than the character probably deserves but whaddyagunnado.

I agree, go on
what did the Galrans do to Shiro while he was in captivity?
>>84285729
Gave him hearty meals and access to the gym daily so he could get gainz
Occasionally gave him cookies on cheat days
Tightened up his fade
Threw him into a gladiatorial pit to fight for his life
Gossiped to him onboard the ship while they were on duty and bored
Let a crazy gaunt witch do experiments on him and give him a robot arm
One month in and how many fetishes have been covered already? I'm impressed.

Hunk. But he floats, so it's fine.
>>84288908
Pidge. Or maybe Keith for the gap moe.
>>84288880
At least Klance has that "we had a bonding moment" scene in its favor, which makes it a million times more plausible than 99% of rival ships where the two characters give no indication whatsoever they even care about each other. Though I still prefer Sheith because the two actually are shown being nice to each other, not that I'm crazy about either and would rather the show be completely free of Paladin romance.
>>84288908
If the Galaxy Garrison is anything like a proper military academy, none of them. So maybe Pidge.

It was Shiro's VA, not the creators. Not that I'm opposed to Sheith happening, I would actually be pretty happy with that, but let's not make it a bigger deal than it actually is.
>>84289041
>Wait, is not knowing how to swim more the norm than not?
> which of them can't swim?
> none of them can't swim, i.e all of them know how to swim
At least in the military of my country, knowing how to swim and being a fairly strong swimmer was a basic entry requirement for applying for most positions and a required part of the physical entrance exam.
>>84289145
check out the generals here. The creators are trolls
>>84289165
I think it says a lot about the potential of this happening that /co/ seems happy about it as opposed to when Korra did it
>>84289180
I don't feel like it,
>>84289203
Helps that the show hasn't put us through love triangle bullshit out the door to sour us on it. Plus both characters are way more interesting in 13 episodes than Asami was in 48.
>>84289242
>I don't feel like it, someone summarize it for me.
Don't know why it hate the second half of my post.
>>84289203
Depends on how much the creators are willing to pander to the audience and if they do, which part of the fanbase will it be, considering tumblr/twitter fujos largely prefer Klance.
>prioritize xenos over humans
These people are a disgrace

I'm from the states and cannot get how someone can not know how to swim unless they're from such a shitty urban ghetto there isn't even a YMCA around. Even in the middle of the goddamned desert or the great plains there's rivers, public pools, and so on in relative abundance.
>>84289266
Creators should never pander. They should have a creative vision and execute it, fanbase be damned.
>>84289257
>>84289242
I don't know anything about Zootopia shipping either but you literally just have to google something like "nick judy ship" and the articles pop up.
>>84289266
When is it a pander and when is it having gay people exist?
>>84289331
I agree. I'm not sure I've ever seen a case of pandering done well. Maybe in some of the more self-aware Xena episodes that make references to the fandom, but that's it.
>>84289343
I'm mostly getting shipping fanart, didn't need anyone to tell me that, but what do the creators have to do with it?
>>84289331
I agree but we know what happened with Korra. Not that I mind Korrasami, anything is better than the shitfest that was Makorra, but it definitely felt tacked on at the end for the sake of appealing to the fanbase. If they actually developed it from the start it could have been really good.
>>84289331
Well, Zarkon's va already stomped Klance in favor of Sheith whenever it was brought to him.
>>84289331
I think Shiro and Keith is part of the vision. If you wanted to have two dudes fall in love in a kids cartoon, Netflix would be where to do it. Shiro's hatred for Galra and love for Keith who is Galra is interesting. I think its part of their vision
>>84289299
I know a lot of people who can't swim. I get the impression that if someone's parents don't go out of their way to teach their kid to swim, the kid will probably not learn to swim. It's not a very important skill in a lot of places, generally less useful than riding a bike, for instance.
I saw that one of the storyboard artists has been reblogging Klance stuff. Maybe the creators/artists have their personal ships, but that won't affect the direction of the show?
>>84289375
When it doesn't make sense. My problem with ships becoming real is that the five are supposed to soldiers and fraternization is seriously detrimental and inappropriate.
>>84289331
The thing about them making Sheith canon is the first season was made in advance. Whatever seeds are there were made too early in advance for it to truly be pandering.
>>84289501
Almost certainly the case. That's how it is with fujo staffers in Japan.
>>84289501
This is what I'm hoping for. Allowing those sort of outside influences infect a shows narrative is the worst.
>>84289538
Yes in real life. However, this is a TV show. Stargate would have been a lot less fun without the sexual tension between Carter and O'Neil
>>84289501
Links to them? It'd be great if we had a comprehensive list of the staffers.
>>84289450
Zarkon's VA has no power over the storyline. It does make me think Shiro/Keith must get some good stuff in later episodes though for him to be openly advocating it like that. Shiro's VA wasn't surprised at discovering the shipping either and immediately proposed a ship name.
>>84289538
Well, they were cadets at the garrison, but it's not like they're highly trained veterans. Plus, ain't no rules against fraternization in spaaaaace
>>84289538
That's true, but they're also generally trapped in a psychic castle with no other humans and have switched from military to unusually aggressive diplomatic corps. And when is there ever a military show without fraternization?
>>84289617
https://twitter.com/barleedraws/likes
>>84289633
yea, they're students in space military high school
>>84289619
Yeah. The fact that multiple of them are enthusiastic for it is funny, but they don't have any control over the story anymore than the crazy Korrasami fags were convinced Janet Varney had any power to help make it canon.
More likely they're either fucking around as they like to do in general, or they're playing along because they're privy on something we don't know and are teasing the audiences.
>>84289501
Most likely not, it's like that one animator on Code Geass who shipped Lelouch with Rolo, or the one who drews lewds of the Haikyuu guys and got fired. Their preference doesn't affect the show. Same with VAs obviously, which is why people shouldn't get too excited over some of them expressing support for a ship. At most we can take it to mean that the ship in question is going to get some pandering, hence the VAs having their preference.
>>84276997
so will Matt Hold end up with the Paladins at some point and annoy everyone. He looks exactly like Pidge.
>>84289761
>the one who drews lewds of the Haikyuu guys and got fired
Do tell
>>84276997
is Lotor going to be Season 2's Azulla? I think the next episodes are still season 1 so we might have to wait. The show would be god tier if they hired Grey Delisle to be the voice of Princess Lotor
>>84289761
It's more that she was fired for publicly complaining about what she was working on. Companies avoid cracking down on fujo antics because infuriating your customers is a really bad idea.
>>84289847
According to someone who works on the other Dreamworks shows they're grouped into season batches of 26 episodes each and aired as half-seasons.
>>84289619
I'm a sheithfag, but Shiro's VA was also a VA for transformers, green lantern and spiderman cartoons, so he's more than aware of how action cartoon fandoms work.
Transformers pushed so hard for a gay pair in TFP that they made it canon in the comics later.
>>84289806
I'm too lazy to explain, just read this:
http://www.otakuusamagazine.com/LatestNews/News1/Haikyuu-Animator-Fired-for-Tweeting-Erotic-Art-6069.aspx
>>84289950
I'm sure he's happy as long as Shiro stays a fan favorite. More likely to keep him in the show that way.
>>84289950
>tfw he voiced Spider-Memes on his own
>tfw people were warning him about reading Shiro's lines in a Norwegian accent
What kinds of shit will we come back with?
>>84289695
She sure makes her preference pretty obvious. There is even some lewd in there.
>>84290145
I hope Shiro doesn't die for his sake. He's a cool VA. Also he's Revolver fucking Ocelot and that's awesome.
>>84290246
>tfw people were warning him about reading Shiro's lines in a Norwegian accent
I want this.
>>84290486
And Spider-Man. Josh Keaton is the shiznit.
>>84290500
I rewatched clips of the old Voltron since I forgot what he sounded like and good god.
>>84289950
>Transformers pushed so hard for a gay pair in TFP that they made it canon in the comics later.
Which one was that? Not the one by the Teen Titans guys was it?
>>84276997
>>84288880
Where does thealien Keiththing come from?
Is it from the original series?
>>84291656
Suspicious lack of one of the most important characters from the original series plus multiple instances of foreshadowing that Keith is not what he seems.
>>84288832
>>84288895
Keith was talking about Coran folks. Let's not make everything about shipping.
>>84291724
>Suspicious lack of one of the most important characters
Who did not show up immediately in the original series either.
Why do I love the Arusians so much? Normally I hate wacky tribal creature type characters, but these guys are just too cute, and they managed to make their wacky customs not be too annoying.
>>84287044
Goddamn anime side-mouth strikes again.
>>84291724
Did you people seriously not see him the final episode of the season? He turned the barrier off and let the paladins escape.
>>84291823
That wasn't Lotor, that was Prorok's subordinate Thace.
>>84291823
Character is officially referred to as Thace in episode 6 or so. It's possible he's Lotor in disguise but Lotor is supposed to be an effeminate looking pretty boy, and Keith fits the bill the most out of anyone in the show.
>>84291823
That wasn't fucking Lotor. That was Thace.
>>84291823
That's not him. It's one of the subordinates of the general that hates Hagar. He's sabotaging the barrier to make her look bad.
>>84291846
>>84291858
So you think Lotor is more likely to be Keith, who has never once in any previous series been Lotor in disguise, than an actual fucking member of his species with white markings in the hue as Lotor's actual hair who turned traitor on his commanding officer in the exact same way as Lotor?
Jesus christ.
>>84291868
Thace is Keith's dad
>>84291892
Why would Lotor be a commander's subordinate?
>>84291899
Zarkon is Keith's dad. Keith's real name is Sincline and has a twin brother named Lotor.
>>84291924
>>84291899
>>84291882
>>84291868
>>84291858
>>84291846
You people are fucking idiots. I can't wait for it to be proven Keith isn't Lotor just so you faggots will shut up and fuck off.
>>84291774
I liked them too. I expected them to be annoying but they were actually pretty funny. Wouldn't mind seeing them again.
>>84291957
I personally can't wait for Keith to cuck Lotor again.
>>84291924
ehh, I want Lotor to be Zarkon's son whil Keith is the son of the descendant of a Paladin so both are half Galra and have some rivalry. Lotor now has a different "human" design like Keith.
>>84292002
Keith is Zuko and Lotor is Azula. But without that dumb Ursa bullshit.
>>84292022
>But without that dumb Ursa bullshit.
don't remind me of the comics
>>84292022
But I want Keith to be the one Zarkon loves most.
>people think that Shiro will live
Dude doesn't even have a Castle Mouse
