re: https://www.tumblr.com/nocandnc/691355663975301120/except?source=share Almost six years alter, and I will still always agree with you about VLD, Noc. *Raises a toast*

(Oh, and uh, thanks for the fanfic illustration you did for me all those years ago)

Cheers dchan87!! I've been getting some new traffic on my Kallura art lately (why on earth??) so I figured I'd better get to answering this!

It really warms my heart to know you and others still think about VLD in some capacity after all this time, even if it's just to complain ^^;; Kallura was the reason I joined Tumblr after all (for better or worse lol) so I can safely say I wouldn't be the same person without it.

Thank you for writing the wonderful fic I had the pleasure of illustrating, and thanks to all the wonderful fandom mutuals I've met before and since then! Many have moved on since then, but I still remember our times together fondly.

Relief.

What are your thoughts on the live action Voltron movie? Personally, I'm not super excited for it for a bunch of reasons. Not even my love for Henry Cavill will get me to change my mind.

Great question!

I gotta say, I had zero interest until Henry Cavill was announced. I still can’t really see it actually getting made though.

If it actually gets made, I expect that I won’t be the target audience. While I enjoy the DotU story, I’m much more into Vehicle Voltron. Lion Voltron relies upon some tropes that were fine for the times, but that I think are too played out by now. If it were a tv series, then the story would have time to breathe and to develop characters, so the tropes would be less annoying to me (again I won’t be target audience, maybe other people would enjoy it just fine). Not gonna get that kinda development for a large cast in a film. It’s not like they have the luxury of the MCU.

So I expect the film to be focused on Keith and will probably aim for nostalgia and try to be edgy for any older audience. The story would be simplified to make it work in a film. Probably gonna feel hollow. In a series, you have time to develop more than one character. The story might well be decent, but it won’t have the depth (such as it was) of the series. It’s totally gonna be the Keith show.

I don’t expect them to try for a younger (child/yourh) audience, because no producer is going to front the money for that. The IP is too old for today’s child/youth audience in the US. They could go youth if they went for a Power Rangers vibe (which would be easy to do because Voltron is cut from the sentai cloth). I doubt that will happen.

Maybe they can do “action dude assembles a heist team” kinda vibe. They need to make sure that the CG doesn’t suck, because if it does then that will sink any future hopes for the IP.

Anyway, I hope to be surprised, but I can think of only a few directors who could do something worthwhile and interesting with the IP, and they are all very busy being awesome and in demand. Thus, my expectations are low.

Amazon MGM Voltron has Henry Cavill!

$5 says he's playing Commander Hawkins.

In my feelings again today. RIP.

I love the idea of Allura wielding her father’s sword even though I know her Paladin weapon is the chain whip (which is pretty badass anyway).

The first time I met up with a friend that we’ve known each other for six years was in SG, and this was a gift from her. Just suddenly felt like time had really gone by too fast…🌸💖✨

[sword--wings]

I don’t like this actually

[sword--wings]

We have an actor for Amazon MGM’s Voltron!

He is described as a newcomer, and interestingly, Tom Holland’s understudy. The 21 year old Daniel Quinn-Toye playing the lead, who will NOT be named Keith according to VoltCon 2023.

alt versions bc im feeling silly

Why did blowing up the Castle in the rift cause Voltron (outside the rift) to lose three years... why emphasize three years of a time gap and then use Bob in the Feud to teleport the paladins across space to skip the expected 1 year journey to get to earth.....
