little_firestarYep. I used to watch Voltron back in the 80s. Nope- I wasn't a girly girl, no feminine anime for me- because, frankly, why watch orphans girls being mistreated in asylums and grandfathers' places and the homes of their aunts? Life's never been a bed of roses, I knew that the world wasn't perfect, so why go there even when I was trying to "relax" in front of the tv? There's a reason it's called quality tiem, after all...
So, yes- as I was rebelling against the image that the 80s gave of girls when it came to anime, and as the daughter of a tomboy who've been rised as a tomboy herslef... sci-fi all the way for me. (that's probably why, the first time I read about DOCTOR WHO years later, I chuckled and said: "I wish I could get my hands on this show. This is the kind of thing I would roll with!"
And... I loved Voltron. I really, really did. So, when Netflix, which is, like guarantee that things will work out all right, announced that it was going to reboot the show with Dreamworks at the drawings, well... I was all "Yay!".
Big day's tomorrow. A first epsiode of an hour and then other ten of half an hour....Wonna celebrate?I know I do- with some pictures. From Lance McCain, because Lance, back when I was five, was my prototype of the "bad boy"- basically, he is the reason I like the men I do, both fictionals and reals...
First series; despite being the pilot of the red Lion, Lance's prominent color is blue.
Image comics- Voltron: Defender of the Universe, vol. 1 and 2 (2003-4); civil clotehs more modern.
Voltron Force, Second cartoon series (2011): for the first time, the (former) pilot of the red lion dresses mostly in red.
Voltron: the end ( 2011 short fan-film), played by professional actor Timothy OmundsenJudging Amy, Deadwood, Psych, Galavalant); just like in the cartoon,
Lance's uniform is filled with red accents.
Voltron and Voltron: year One, by Dynamyte (2012-14): Lance is the one in the middle, dressed in red;
a return to the origins for the Voltron/robotech AU five part mini by Dynamyte (2015)
And the 2016 third cartoon series by Netflix/Dreamworks- not a follow up like the 2011 Voltron Force, but a reboot.
