Someone sent me this and I think a few here might have fun with it!
I haven't seen it at the time I posted it. |

Voltron wins because he's a super robot.

And the Megazord is a real somehow?
It's more like, the Megazord is limited by being a live-action suit, meaning there are limits to what it can do on-screen, while Voltron is an anime and is thus only limited by what the artists can draw. |

I'm just saying that Voltron is your standard super robot. Super sonic flight, super strength, magic projectiles that come out of nowhere, some seemingly random abilities and all that jazz. It's everything Gurren Lagann mocked (Except not literally because GoLion wasn't that big in Japan) The Megazord is really limited, but it's also rather underpowered, even when taking into account what the costume can do. Super strength, the lightning crest attack, the Mammoth Shield's energy beams and frost attack, and the God Horn sword. (Yeah, it has the cannons on it's back, but I don't think they were ever used, and it's not really designed to fire them at anything other than targets directly above it) Like, even when taking the live action limitations into account, the Megazord doesn't have all that much going for it. In comparison to an actual super robot, it does feel a little like a real robot

Gurren Lagann mocked Super Robot tropes? ...Were we watching the same show, because last I checked it whole-heartedly embraced them and took them to '11 in just about every way imaginable. |

If their mediums were reversed, most definitely. I don't think we've had very many mecha that fly on a regular basis until Galaxy Mega.
But I'm just saying that they could've ramped up the firepower on Daizyujin if they wanted, but outside of the Tanker mode, he's kind of a basic brawler. Like, Jet Icarus literally pulled weapons out of nowhere just to beef up it's arsenal, for example. And mocked was the wrong choice of words. "Jokingly referenced" is a better way to put it.

Eh... I'll give you that.
Although, again, "jokingly?" I'm... trying to understand what you think the show is, because it's CLEARLY very different than my understanding. Like, these are just straight references, the only joke I see is the kind of irreverent style of the show itself... I mean, the only joke I can think of involved in a reference is the first time they combine. Everything else, like the Inazuma Kick or Chou Ginga doing the Gunbuster pose, which is already a reference to Getter Robo G... I really shouldn't take this down this track of insane mecha fan rambling. Like, I'm seriously crazy about this shit and still have crazy moments whenever I discover a series I didn't know about before. Speaking of which, I'm off to read up on Brain Powered and Layzner. |
