Ohio republicans trying to hold an election they hoped would go unnoticed in order to deny Ohioans simple majority rule (changing it from 50% to 60% majority), only for it to be one of the highest voter turnouts for an August election ever in the state AND the votes against them being 60%+ anyway? Lol. Lmao even.

WEP keeping the plot to Voltron’s live action movie under wraps seems to lend credence to the idea that it will not be a 1:1 adaptation of the original anime, even if the goal, as per Bob Koplar during previous VoltCon panels, was to capture the spirit of the original series (one of many jabs towards Dreamworks’s attempts at making a live action film and Voltron Legendary Defender).

It’s definitely not going to be an adaptation of VLD either even if Bob ignored his own distaste for the series for the simple reason that all of the materials made for the original show (rather than adapted from the 1984 show) are Dreamworks copyright and can’t be used by AmazonMGM without consent.

Of course that begs the question of what the movie’s plot will be. I’m presuming distinctly unlike the failed 2007 script, the film won’t be two hours of finding the lions with a 10 minute Voltron fight at the end (since that script was panned by just about everyone who read it). My guess is that it’s going to be a more conventional Earth invasion movie, although given the idea of a stealth sequel, it might be revealed that the Voltron Force had adventures on Arus, but vanished.

My guess? In the not too distant future, Earth is invaded by the Drule, and the Galaxy Garrison, Earth’s defense, is scrambling for a weapon to defend the Earth against superior alien technology. Their head scientist, Professor Nanbara, finds the five mechanical lions on a distant planet called Arus and returns them to Earth, however, he only had one pilot ready who was the head of the mission to get the lions from Arus; his granddaughter Chizuru. Hence, with the authority granted from the UN, he called forth three teenagers and one pre-teen boy with different backgrounds; street racer Hyouma Aoi, Olympic marksman Juzo Naniwa, judoka Daisaku Ishikawa and boy genius Kosuke Kita. Together with Chizuru, the team must learn to combine their mind and strength to effectively pilot Voltron and defend Earth.

Yes, that’s the plot of Combattler V. But it honestly seems like a much more Hollywood friendly movie than an adaptation of either the original Voltron (where all the action takes place on a distant planet) or Legendary Defender (which was during numerous seasons, completely directionless). I imagine studio bigwigs at MGM want the movie to take place on Earth to save money on sets and the like, not to mention thinking it’s easier for the audience to relate.

Of course this could be wrong, but I still have a part of me looking forward to this, if only because everyone involved has said the right things about the previous attempts falling flat on their faces. Not to mention the new scenario not having the classic Voltron pilots means I, nor the rest of the world, have to hear about Klance or why Allura is white when the main characters aren’t called Keith, Lance, or Allura.

"It is too easy to dismiss [Leonor of Navarre] as an overambitious schemer who would do anything to obtain a crown, shedding the blood of her own siblings and her subjects in order to attain the throne. However, a deeper investigation of her long lieutenancy and ephemeral reign shows a woman who fought tenaciously to preserve her place but also worked tirelessly to administer a realm which was crippled by internal conflict and the center of the political schemes of France, Aragon, and Castile. She tried to broker peace, fight off those who opposed her, repair the wounds caused by conflict, protect the sovereignty of the realm, and keep the wheels of governance turning. Leonor was not always successful in achieving all of these aims but given the background of conflict and the lack of cooperation she received from all of her family members, bar her loyal husband, it is a huge achievement that she survived to wear the crown at all. Many writers have argued that Leonor deserved the troubled lieutenancy, personal tragedies, an ephemeral reign, and a blackened reputation, basing their assumption that she committed a crime that cannot be [conclusively] proven. However, a more fitting description of her would be that of a resolute ruler who successfully overcame a multitude of challenges in order to survive in a difficult political landscape and gain a hard-fought throne.”
