Voltron's thoughts on a live action movie
 

They may not transform, but Golion is still technically Toku, just in anime form. Thus, I am posting this here. Enjoy. :)

Dr Kain, that's cool you feel so strongly about Voltron, but what's wrong with a franchise being popular? I mean, your mileage on the Transformers films may vary, but regardless, they've lead the way for that franchise to grow both in terms of fan base & product.

Just think about the possibilities for the Voltron franchise to go with all the added popularity & cultural relevance.

So even if this hypothetical Voltron film didn't suit your expectations, wouldn't it be worth it?

Meh. I found the Voltron series to be boring and the toys lame.
They can do whatever they want, but meh.

Because we don't need the names tarnished with crap. They already have Voltron Force, which is bad enough.

There are only four filmmakers that could do a Voltron movie right, Tarantino, Nolan, Wheedon, or Scott. I would not trust anyone else.

This coming from the guy with a My Little Pony avatar.

I'd watch Joss Whedon's Voltron :lol
My problem with the toys was, coming from PR (I was a 90's kid), 5 of the same animal combining was kinda boring to me, and I didn't religiously watch the series like some of my older friends, sorry.

Oh god. The inner child in me would probably kick my ass if he found out I picked My Little Pony over Voltron :lol

(Also, none of the images you linked to work for me)

I got given the first lion tin volume of the original Voltron as a freebie at an all-night anime screening I went to a few years back. While I really liked the design of the robot, the show itself was painful to watch. But I chalked it down to it being just a bit dated and was interested in giving the next volume a try, but the DVDs must have bombed over here because only the first volume was ever released and even that was given away free or for under £5 most places.

I'd still like to check it out, but I think I'll probably just try GoLion if I can ever find it subbed. As for a live-action movie, whatever happens it couldn't be much worse than Voltron Force.

With the popularity of Transformers, and being their mostly all Vehicles, why wouldn't Vehicle Voltron get a look for a movie? And that brings another point I wanted to make. But I'll save that for another thread.

I think an LA Voltron would work. I mean, they could be Earth Explorers or something. Don't be such a downer, that's my job. :lol

The set is out of print, as Media Blasters lost the license to Golion and Dairugger. In fact, Dairugger volume 3 was only available for 3 weeks before it was discontinued, so if you happen to find the collection on sale anywhere, DO NOT HESITATE!!!

Sorry, but unless there is a live action GoLion/Voltron show/film (not just TBD).. this is still just considered an anime. Dropping it off in the General Discussion.

maybe kids of oringial voltron pilots drive voltron

I don't hate the idea of a live adaptation for Voltron but a Miike Takashi directed & produced Combattler V would work complete with Animetal & Mizuki Ichiro rendition of the opening OR Getter Robo directed & produced by Miike complete with Animetal & Sasaki Isao rendition of the opening
