So how's this franchise doing?
I really hope Keith gets more development in s2. The fight with Zarkon hinted that he's still a low grade 'chosen one', but he's definitely not leader material. If Shiro turns heel it'd be interesting to see Keith have to step up and focus on the team instead of himself.

How would you rank this show among the Avatar seasons? Is it at least good as 1?
I have yet to see a review.
>>84031713
Better than Korra, not as unique as TLA. Much more character based than MOTW-based compared to the original series

Why is Sven a Japanese guy named "Shiro" now?

Why is Pidge a transgender now?

Because "diversity".
>>84031840
>Why is Sven a Japanese guy named "Shiro" now?
It's a different character
>Why is Allura black now?
Because she is an Alien, now. Don't youy know Niggers come from space?
>Why is Pidge a transgender now?
Pidge was always a girl. It was only revealed now.

>>84031922

>Dont follow the archetypes associated with shounen
ATLA was splicitaly made in mind to be a mix of Cowboy Bebop and Ghibili movies in style, rather than Shounen. Read the artbook.
>>84031840
>Why is Sven a Japanese guy named "Shiro" now?
This I could stand, because "Sven" wasn't even Swedish in Go-Lion and was named "Shirogane", so they're just restoring his original ethnicity.
>Why is Allura black now?
This I could deal with because she's just a brown space elf and needed to look vaguely "alien".
>Why is Pidge a transgender now?
This is them going full retard, though.
>>84031840
>Why is Pidge a transgender now?
Cross dresser.
Learn the lingo, anon. A transgender is someone who perceive the gender of their genital isn't the gender they perceive they are.
A crossdresser is someone who dress as the opposite sex yet it doesn't mean they have issue with their own body and can feel perfectly right with how they are. It's just a fashion either by choice or imposed by necessity.
>>84031938
>They will force political correctness down your gullet
Nobody force you to watch this show.
I know the idiom has lost any meaning, but it doesn't mean "the show has something that I don't like".
>>84031840
>Why is Sven a Japanese guy named "Shiro" now?
It's a different character, who cares.
>Why is Allura black now?
She's not, she's an alien and vaguely brown. Nowhere near black.
>Why is Pidge a transgender now?
She's not. She's just a girl who fronted being a boy kind of like Naoto in Persona 4. Use your buzzwords right.
>>84031840
>Why is Pidge a transgender now?

It had the same cast as the 80s show. Which was neat. If you liked those voices.
The CG was sub-Real Adventures of Jonny Quest tier shit and virtually unwatchable. Hope you like things exploding into tiny triangles, anon.

No.
Its because a lot of people took the bait and didnt noticed the HUGE amount of samefag on the thread.

Well I don't know what are the problem with us but "forced diversity" was a troll buzzword for a bit around here for Legendary Defender so it's kind of natural people would respond like this
>>84032380
>>Forced Diversity: The Animated Series
The whole of your post make no fucking sense, because
1. it fail to adress my point, i.e. there is no trans in this show
2.it's not forced diversity. Have you considered that it was simply what the creator wanted to do
3. It has zero to do with affirmative action at all.
stop acting like a retard SJW who sperge out when the cast is all white.
>>84032414
>>all characters hold their original ethnicity save for Allura because she's an alien now
Yes because a character named Sven who spoke with a thick Swedish accent was clearly an Asian guy.

I haven't watch the show. But is it true? Is Pidge really now "a boy trapped in a woman's body"?
Cuz I can see Allura is brown now and Sven has been replaced by a Japanese guy, so that much is inarguable.
But Pidge is now a girl that thinks she's a boy? For real? If so, they actually found a way to be worse than that Nickelodeon reboot from a couple years ago.
>>84032606
>>No one has boasted about how progressive it is
Comics Alliance wrote a whole article jacking off the new Voltron cartoon for how progressive it was to include minority and LGBTQbert characters.
They're celebrating "Pride Week" or something right now, I think.
So the new Voltron's already being celebrated for it's diverse recasting of the classic characters.
Pay attention class, this is bait 101
Shit bait
>>84032624
Good bait, enjoyable by all
>>84032500
>>84032500
You are projecting hard, there.
There was never intend to act progressive, but an intent to correct a blatant error.
>>84032439
I considered both the original JP ver and the US ver to be the "original canon" so to speak. The original Voltron is based on the Japanese show Beast King GoLion. So you could argue that Sven was actually Takashi Shirogane first.
>>84032624
>I haven't watch the show. But is it true? Is Pidge really now "a boy trapped in a woman's body"?

Who? Copy here what they wrotte.

Its the same shit bait. Just retards spouting something and if someone replies, "H-HAHA, YOU FELL FOR LE BAIT xD I WAS ONLY PRETENDING TO BE RETARDED."
>>84032624
Let's just pretend you're not baiting.
Pidge is just disguising herself as a boy to be in the school and not raise any suspicion, she makes it pretty clear she's a girl halfway through when she reveals the secret.
I know being on this board has skewed your sensibilities but there is such a thing as reverse traps in this world
>>84032710
Okay now you went from posting bait to going full retard
>>84032650
>for how progressive it was to include minority and LGBTQbert characters.
But it didn't.
As far as we know, Voltron, has no Lesbian, no male gay, no Bisexuals, no Transgender and no Queer.
Incendentally, are you actually getting buthurt that a third party review site praize a cartoon for diversity?
The show is good, why would you care what people you don't care about would say about it?

Yeah and that CA article was fuckin shit. It's probably where this whole "Pidge is a Tranny" meme has originated from.
Fuck Comics Alliance and fuck any of you who take their clickbait articles seriously.
OP here, I think you people need to watch the show assuming this isn't bait.

>>84032803
Its just a fucking callback to GoLion.

All these characters were Japanese before the localization. Its like how Robotech handled Macross. That's it.
>>84031840
Isnt he Shiro in Japan? But they changed it for America?
>>84032803
Maybe it's a hint that they're going to kill him for real, like Shirogane, instead of just "send him to a hospital" like Sven
>>84032814
It would be bad if this was like Voltron Force and meant to be the same characters but this is a reboot as in completely different universe and everything

You don't understand the liberal mindset, anon.
Having more than 1 cisgendered heterosexual white male is PROBLEMATIC. So they took measures to include as many minorities as possible.

Women can't be cross dressers because there is no male-only clothing, unless she wants to start wearing a 15th century codpiece.

>>84033203
>and other gender-bending.
Several anons in this thread seem to be perfectly ok with Pidge being trans and don't have a problem with it.
It's just a small subsection of shitposters who are going all REEEEEEEEE at the mere mention of transgenders.
>>84033236
Because I don't think you know the difference between trans and traps or you do and are just baiting like everyone else
>>84033269

The difference is that trans is a real thing and traps are just something 4chan made up for the keks or whatever.

>>84032398
I watched some of Golion, but Youtube only allowed the first 10 episodes of to be readily available. The rest are set to "private".
I've been having a bitch of a time trying to find live torrents as an alternative.
>>84033613
Actually the character who was racebent into being Asian was originally Asian and racebent into white. But I guess that was okay with you.
>>84031840
You do realize Shiro was always Japanese right?
>b-but mah nostalgic dub
>>84033661
Then they shoulda called the show Golion.
If they're gonna call it Voltron then they gotta go with the Voltron canon. Can't have it both ways.
>>84033695
GoLion is still owned by Media Blasters while Voltron is constantly getting tossed around and for now its with Netflix. Its why they always have to redesign the mech.
Quit sperging over a name change, its a reference to its source material and nothing more.

Pidge is still an LGBTQ insert.

That is literally not what that means
>>84033009
So tell me, what's it like being a spineless faggot who can't think for himself?
>>84033836
Cross dressing actually has nothing to do with LGBTQ, in fact most cross dressers are cis straight men, contrary to what the media will tell you.
>>84033790
But I'm not. And she isn't. She's a girl pretending to be a boy and now she's just a tomboyish girl.
Quit. Sperging.
>>84033836
That'sNotHowAnyOfThisWorks.webm
>>84033009
So you did not even bother watching the show then? Because they make it very clear she is not trans
If you guys want some good mecha shows, just watch GaiGaoGar, Getter Robo, Mazinger Z or Ideon.
>>84033864
>Cross dressing actually has nothing to do with LGBTQ, in fact most cross dressers are cis straight men, contrary to what the media will tell you.
Okay, if you cross dress you aren't cisgendered. That flies in the face of the very definition of cisgendered.
The Q in LGBTQ means Queer, as in someone who doesn't conform to cisgendered norms but isn't otherwise a homosexual or transsexual or bisexual.
A girl pretending to be a boy and crossdressing as one is straight up Queer.
So yeas, trans or no trans, Pidge is still a forced in LGBTQ representative character.
>>84033924
I also hear that new Voltron looks good

The point is that Katie was trying to pass for male because she was under suspicion under the Garrison's security for trying to break into classified information as herself. So she disguised herself as a boy and enrolled to be a pilot so that she could get closer to the information to find out the truth about the mission that her dad and brother disappeared on.
This is NOT about gender or sexual identity confusion.
