So, what are your thoughts with the growing trend of "modernized" reboots?

There's nothing wrong with innovating and modernizing a previous franchise, as long as it doesn't forget or ignore its roots.

Dunno why they're so against having a white dude in the main roster of pilots

>>84408152
real talk, original Voltron was a hackjob anime and of exceedingly low quality. The anime itself was only barely better by virtue of being a monster of the week show and at least had some clever writing.

which got stripped out to make the american version.

several clumsy reboots later we have a surprisingly decent take on the show. My only complaint being that the sword doesn't look as cool as the original.

anyways on a more general front I don't mind modern reboots if they take the Voltron approach; I.E. understanding the source material, using what works, discarding what doesn't.

would like to see more Beast Wars style takes on properties tho
>>
>>84408152
It's good when it respects the source material and doesn't try to make it what it isn't, i.e Power Rangers.

The American Voltron is a series of original episodes produced, there is no Japanese version.

Season 1 of Voltron is the one that uses the Japanese GoLion footage.

Season 2 is a good anime and you never watched it.

sounds like someone never watched any Voltron.

The only thing wrong with Third Dimension was the horrible CGI.

Legendary Defender is just more of the same shit the sequel reboots did, which is just going off of what the American episodes of Voltron did. Legendary Defender even outright copied multiple plotlines from the American Voltron episodes.

I just... Don't understand why people care so much about this.

How important is it to you that there's a white guy in the roster? Are you really so insecure that you can only emotionally connect with characters that are the same race as you, even if they're bland as shit?

Like for fuck's sake most of the world, hell there's a good bit of America where shit happens, and white people don't really play a large role in things. You can have a story without an obligatory toke white dude.

Are we really at the point where not needing every show to have a token white dude is considered being a SJW?
>>
>>84408364
There's nothing really social justice-y about the new character designs.
Different skin tones help tell the characters apart in a group, which is why I do it for my own art.

You know that Voltron was an anime and they are actually Japanese characters right?

>>84409846
Not the fact there are no white guys but the fact that the show is going full KILL WHITEY mode

The creators even voiced how much they hated the original Allura was a straight white women that was in love with Keith
>>
>>84409876
Allura is white

Most of Voltron is not from an anime. Infact Season 3 of Voltron was all original produced episodes, which is what most of Netflix Voltron takes after.

This show is based on Voltron not GoLion
Thats what they're calling him Keith not Akira

The fact they they made her a brown elf when the other elves aren't brown is kind of a sign they meant they hated she was white too. They don't want her piloting a Lion either.

So either two things

1. Some "no white people allowed" levels of butthurt
2. Brown elf fetish is rampant in the character designer department

Leaning towards 2 seeing as how Korra had the same shit practically

Because a white guy watching the show who is uncomfortable with the lack of white guys can go look for another show on Netflix and easily find plenty of shows and movies starring white guys.

More people are whining about how little the show resembles Voltron and Keith not being the MC and how ship fags think Shiro wont die.

Rarely ever see people seriously whining about no white people. There is a somewhat adamant lack of white people in the show but I went in expecting this from the people that made Korra.

At least they didn't make everyone Japanese cause we would not hear the end of it from weebs.

3rd Dimension is hardly the only voltron reboot, and while it's writing and voice acting are decent the fact remains that it's an animated show with absolutely hideous CGI.

I grew up with beastwars so I can overlook it there but I never caught 3rd Dimension in broadcast and I can't overlook how an animated show, you know a visual medium, looks like ass.

honestly the new one surprised me, maybe I'm just used to it at this point but I always hated mech shows where the characters are 2D but the mechs are 3D.

Most of them probably died out 10,000 years ago when Coran and Allura went into stasis. We might see some more of them in flashbacks. Also, since they're apparently shapeshifters, if there are survivors, maybe they're hiding their appearance to avoid detection.
>>
>>84410631
Keith and Shiro were always asian

Sven was swedish in the original though which actually factually have way less representation than mexicans and asians in mainstream media.

anytime you see a swedish dude he's comic relief with a thick accent. Woulda been cool to see a swedish lead for once that doesn't sound like a joke
>>
Random thought but...

Is it possible we're SO FAR INTO THE FUTURE at this point that the subject of "race" is completely pointless in setting and as such arguing it is equally pointless?

Like, for all we know Lance could actually be half Native American half Tongan ancestrally but that won't show because it's the ambiguous earth harmony future.

Premise is extremely different outside of the basic
>5 youths form Voltron to fight evil empire.

The main villain is different, the character origins are different, the cast is partially different, and the themes are 100% different.

You can do a reboot without changing so much of the source material. Why go for the second rate Mass Effect look when they could have stuck with the Medieval space robot stuff? Which Voltron hasn't done since the 80s might I add.

aside from Shiro being the character the showrunners went with and Sven getting lost in the adaptation? Nothing.

The themes are exactly the same. Good vs. Evil, Altruism vs. Greed.

They repeatedly hammer in the difference between the Galra and the Alteans is that the Galra only take, causing death with their greed.

The Cast is different, mostly the same but still different you moron.

Legendary Defender has Katie, Shiro, and Sendak
Voltron had Pidge, Sven, and most importantly Lotor who was the main villain. You can't say the cast is 100% the same when the main villain is absent.

>The themes are exactly the same. Good vs. Evil, Altruism vs. Greed.
>Altruism vs. Greed

Stop twisting words to fit whatever you want. The Greed is referring to Lotor's Power lust which is what lead to the fall of Galra

That literally does not exist at all in Legendary Defender

Where the fuck are Sven and Lotor?

No Shiro and Sven are incredibly different characters

They don't have the same name
They don't look alike
They have entirely different personalities and back stories

They only share the fact that they both wear the black suit.

They are no more the same character than Zack and Adam were in Power Rangers

See this is the bullshit I don't get you two faced fucks like to boast about Diversity and shit on anyone wanting want people in the show and say the cast needs to be diverse.

But low and behold someone wants a black lead character the same people go and shit on them and treat them like jokes. You don't even take us seriously and act like we're joking when we want a black lead but you'll get the pitchforks when someone wants a white lead

Fuck you guys. You're just as bad as the people that want the show to be 100% white. You are the same people.

see the joke here is I'm not one of the people calling for the show to be diverse. Or asking for white characters.

I don't fucking care about diversity or representation. I want good media. Good media generally requires the show runners to tell people asking for DIVERSITY or REPRESENTATION to fuck off.

yeah that includes asking for white people since that's asking for white representation.

I treat you like a joke because you ARE joke. You want your show with a black male lead go make it. Age of independent publishing, if you're so thirst for a black lead in a scifi production make it.

Otherwise fuck off. I'm here for beefcake and giant robots. Not whining from minorities with an unearned sense of entitlement or their opposite numbers with a similar problem.

They all abandoned their families.

Which is kind of weird. It's nice that they addressed it, but it's also weird that they never warped over to Earth for a quick goodbye. They just immediately accepted that they're gonna spend the rest of their lives in space, fighting aliens they've never met (except for Shiro) to save other aliens they've never met.
>>
>>84411988
Sven and Shiro had different personalities in Voltron vs GoLion even

Sven came back later on, Shiro did not.

The fact that he has no family or background is suspicious.

That he (and only he) could sense the Blue Lion for no given reason reason definitely says there's something big going on that hasn't been revealed yet.

But most importantly, he activated the Galra hand interface, after Pidge very clearly stated that only Galra tech like Shiro's hand could use it.
