I'm definitely interested.

@costume-n00b I hope more eighties stuff comes out in 2025. It will be like time traveling. A year of the eighties.

For some reason I never cared for Voltron at all when it came out. 

@durendal 

🤣

henry cavill 😍🤤

i'm looking forward to seeing this movie. 

i have a lot of nostalgia for voltron (although i didn't start watching it until some time in college, so it's a different kind of nostalgia.) 

i first got into voltron by watching dreamworks legendary defender series on netflix when i was a teenager and i was a huge fan. i also watched voltron force, the third dimension and those motion comics that aired on SyFy a few years ago. i've been itching for more voltron content. 😅

@adoralovely So I'm just randomly squeezing into this forum. I know nothing about Voltron. This post may or may not be semi-relevant in this forum, but I know another iconic anime robot that really needs a good live-action adaptation.

An android boy that him and his creator straight up pioneered manga and anime, yet you never see the literal Godfather of Manga's characters on any merch at any western anime conventions. I am really, extremely frustrated that Japan's equivalent of Walt Disney gets little to no respect in the west when his stories were clever, smart, memorable, in many ways REALLY ahead of their time in terms of themes and what they were a metaphor for. One of his other most iconic works is about a princess being forced to be raised and seen by the public as a boy prince and her struggles. This manga started in 1953.

That man's name: Osamu Tezuka

The character I am referring to: His name is in my username

The cha

Okay it's just NOW I'm finding out that Voltron is actually an American created franchise that sort of has the same situation as Transformers in terms of how the whole franchise came to be. Is it considered by literally everyone an anime? Despite this, my point about Tetsuwan Atomu still stands

@slycooperastroboy51 yes 😭 astro boy is woefully slept on.

i think there was a live-action tetsuwan atom tokusatsu show in japan in the 1950's. so, at least we have that....but yes, your point still stands, more astro boy is needed in the world. ✨

@adoralovely There's been a reboot series that has been in development hell for a decade. They did announce a Live-action movie in 2015-16 but it might as well be cancelled. I personally have a like-mediocre relationship with the 2009 film that's failure kinda killed both the franchise and an entire animation studio that could've been the next Pixar or Dreamworks when you look at IMAGI's unproduced films. Only other film they made was the '07 TMNT movie.

Really recommend the OG manga, the 80s anime (best adaptation out of the 3 anime), the '03 anime (bit of a different interpretation but still good) and Pluto, an anime on Netflix that's basically a really dark but amazing take on one of the manga's most beloved stories.

Also Metropolis (2001) Not Astro Boy but Tezuka. It is visually stunning.
