Topic	Just started watching Season 3 of Voltron: Legendary Defender!
BowserCuffs 08/10/17 1:03:48 PM #8:	Jeff Zero posted... I tried watching the show when it first came out. Very pretty, but... I guess the tone just wasn't for me, sadly. I can't remember if I made it through the pilot. I didn't grow up with it (or kids shows in general) so I guess I'm always gonna have a harder time with these things. It can be frustrating. I'm glad you're enjoying it, though! I watched a bit of the original growing up but I don't have any strong memories of the original show, actually. I recently tried rewatching it between Season 1 and 2 and I got to the second episode and just quit. Between Pidge sounding like someone trying to sound like a Muppet, the fact that the show is obviously two shows piecemealed together, the "we can't have a flawed protagonist" approach with rewriting the origin story of the titular Voltron, and some of the other nonsense they did (like having Voltron known throughout the universe for his goodness, which is... forced) and I can't believe I ever liked this show as a kid. And to be honest, from what I've heard, the original show doesn't get enjoyable until Prince Lotor appears anyways - he's the one thing I remember most about the original show (mostly his line of "Angel's Food cake!? I wanted Devil's Food cake!" or whatever it was) Spoiler text The mashed together cartoon wrote it that Voltron was a champion of good and Haggar, disguised as a beautiful maiden, tricked and cursed Voltron. The original story is that Voltron was a bloodthirsty berserker and combat addict who challenged the fucking goddess to a fight and was punished by being separated into five lions. ...That being said, fans of the original Voltron will get a kick out of one of the episodes in Season 3. Let's just say there's a funny callback to one of the weirder things about that show. Which I'll put in the spoiler below. ~~It's Sven. Sven makes a reappearance, complete with strange accent.~~ --- Disagreeing with your criticism doesn't make me a fanboy; disagreeing with your praise doesn't make me a hater. Fighting over this is self-destructive. <cite>BowserCuffs posted [p:884528340] in Just start...
