So everybody hated it ? :(


That's sad. It was good. Any news on season 2 ?

I liked it.

I'm watching the show now, on Netflix and so far, I am enjoying it.

I appreciate the nod to a show that I enjoyed as a child. I wasn't a huge, die hard, fan of the original as it first aired when I was very young. That may be why whatever inconstancies that exist between this version and the original do not bother me.

Having gone back and watched many of the same shows I enjoyed as a child during the mid to late 80's, this show does lack one element that was found throughout that era. I don't feel as though this reboot was a vehicle created *just* to sell toys as opposed to other shows such as Transformers G1, G.I. Joe, Thundercats, and He-Man, etc.

Of course this show is marketed at children. I'd argue that's the case for the majority of animation. Don't let that stop you from enjoying it.

Overall I really like the new show. The cadets are useful. There are nods to the original show and go Lion. The theme sucks but they have some of the original music.Voice actors are good. Like the new lion designs. Character design and animation are weak but the stories (except zombie ninja scientist episode) carries the show well. I hope they get a second season.

I also hope the robeast voltron returns at some point.

You said virtually everything I think about the show.

I gave it a shot because of course I enjoyed the old show and maybe romanticized a little how awesome it was. But this new show answered one of my burning questions when I was a kid. And it was funny that a cadet said what I had been thinking the whole time.

How the heck could they form Voltron and not get the crap kicked out of them while forming? I loved that episode when the speed robeast kept smashing into them when they tried to form Voltron which made the cadet say he's surprised that's never happened before (since it took so long to form Voltron).

My six year old enjoyed it and I enjoyed watching it with him. If mattel ever releases a toy from this show my son will be one of the first playing with it.
I hope a season 2 is in the works.

I hate it. Cheap low quality production compared to the original ,watered down fights ,no Allura wearing her pink gown , stupid kids trying to replace the original pilots ,voltron doesn't look anything like Beast King Golion anymore. Way too many changes. WEP is treating voltron like a cash caw and alieanating the hard core fans like me with this ripoff.
