>hat’s right, connect your dyna-therms and activate your interlocks because we’ve got a brand new red-hot Voltron exclusive for you. Today, we can reveal that the showrunners will be Lauren Montgomery and Joaquim Dos Santos. If you don’t know their names, then you definitely know their work: Montgomery was a producer on Legend of Korra, a storyboard artist on Avatar: The Last Airbender, as well as a director for DC Animated movies, like Green Lantern: First Flight. Likewise, Dos Santos served as an executive producer on Legend of Korra, as well as a director for Avatar: The Last Airbender, and various DC animated projects, such as Justice League: Unlimited.
>Tim Hendrick will also be a writer
Will this show avoid the pitfalls Legend of Korra had since Bryke isn't involved?
Please for the love of god tell me it's not going to be aired on nickelodeon
>>80628258
It's a Netflix show senpai
>>80628258
It's Netflix.
I think this also might be the show Studio MIR is working on with Dreamworks.
At least the fight scenes and animation might be good.
>>80628330
>>80628372
why does everything have to be netflix these days
>>80629135
Because cable networks a shit.
>>80628086
>mecha
I wouldn't expect that to be hand-drawn for sure. The younger generation of animators just don't do mechanical animation anymore.
>>80628086
>muh voltron
Fuck off. Can't we get a new American mecha show?
>>80628086
Just so long as Lotor is as smooth as he was in the original, I'll be ok with it.
>>80629245
We did it got cancelled
>>80629245
We were supposed to get a Pacific Rim animated series, but we haven't heard about that since.
>>80629289
Are you referring to >>80629355
?
Fuck, that would've been sweet.
>>80629355
I think Greg Weisman was supposed to work on that. He hinted last year he was at work on a show based on a beloved property that was cancelled pre-production, around the same time we got the news that Pacific Rim 2 wasn't going to happen. Then it did, but they won't bother with the show, I guess.
>>80629135
More freedom to do what you want

>>80629241
CGI for mecha is fine actually.

>Greg Weisman
Damn, didn't even get off the ground this time. Feel bad for Weisman.
>>80629736
I always have this fear that one day Netflix is going to get too big for its britches and it's going to do the same bullshit networks do.
The day's not yet, but one day.
ONE
>>80629585
Nope. Prodigal.
>>80629884
>>80629849
>Kanan will end this month
>Starbrand and Nightmask sold like shit and will be cancelled
>no one cares about Rain of the Ghosts despite having a successful Kickstarter that actually delivered exactly what it promised
>stuck working on a Nick Jr. show
He's hoping Netflix picks up YJ.
>>80629899
>>80629912
>>80629935
And that's all I have for it. It got changed to be live action and still got cancelled. Titmouse can't catch a break.
>>80629769
We'll have to jump hoops through a badly-made love triangle first.
>>80629884
>>80629899
>>80629912
>>80629935
>>80629979
I vaguely remember this.
>>80628258
ONE, TWO
THREE FOUR
>>80629260
feminazi wont have that
>>80629736
No S&P get a lot further with plots and ideas and can serialize shows without pressure to make one offs.
Also Pidge looks like they'll be a girl in this one. And Money on Princess Allura taking design notes from Asami's design.
Curious to see how the toy will turn out. I always wanted a Voltron figure but all of them are expensive as hell
>>80629585

>>80631425
That's assuming there will even be a toyline.
Are there any Netflix original shows with toylines?
>>80631468
SBT was the shit man.
I'm still upset that it got cancelled and that it's probably never, ever coming back. It was just a good cartoon period, let alone probably the best Western mecha cartoon ever.
I guess we can never have good things.
>>80631331
Alllura will have a Girlfriend. Brash Stubborn and Thick Witted she be.
>>80631546
Dinotrux and Project MC2 off the top.
>>80631425
>implying
>>80631425
Did Mattel ever roll out that entire Voltron Club thing. Or just Give up on their shitty Not Kickstarter plans
>>80631616
>>80631671
Make it stop
>>80631546
Hasbro's doing Netflix shows as well. They're doing Stretch Armstrong.
I'm cautiously optimistic about this, at least it's being created out of whole cloth instead of being cobbled together from two unrelated animes.
>>80632211
And Hasbro is giving them healthy budgets and using Japanese Finishing Studios.
New golden age of action animation without networks. This could be great.
Also Stretch Armstrong will it least have one Rubber Teen/Preteen gal
>>80632388
Meaning Hasbro is going along with Netflix Budgets and the Japanese Studios. Though they aren't budget shy themselves.
