You guys remember Voltron?

Yeah that was when Toonami was actually good. I'm a grown man and I still crack out my Media Blasters DVDs. When I was a kid that was my favorite show along with Spider-Man (Fox Kids) and Swat Kats. The Netflix Voltron? I've seen clips of it on YouTube, but it's too try hard. The original was better even. though it was meant for little kids and the new one is more mature, but yeah I think they made Keith, Lance, Princess Allura, etc sound too Gen Z and beta in Legendary Defender (that's it right?)

I used to watch it on Cartoon Express on USA every morning. That and the Smurfs were what got my sorry ass out of bed.

Oh I read about how it used to be on USA, but I know Voltron and The Smurfs from Cartoon Network, but yeah Voltron hasn't aged well to me, but it's still better than than newer iterations. As a kid, I always thought there'd be somr closure the main plot and that they'd kill Zarkon at the end of the series, but that didn't happen, and that's pretty sad because even though it's a children's cartoon, you still need closure, kida aren't idiots, but I don't know it's from the 80s so maybe the original ending was too morbid for TV audiences.

The show on Netflix has caused alot of people to go nuts online

These Gen Z fools are getting out of hand. Legendary Defender is some trite wannabe. It reminds me of when I'd go on AOL when the He-Man remake was premiering on Cartoon Network and I never even saw the original He-Man, but people who were fans of it used to comment on the Hughes forums and all that about how trash the new one was, so I share their sentiments about Legendary Defender because it's the same deal

Yeah Toonami was so much better in those days. I remeber when they played the Thuhderc a ts, Robotech, Voltron, and "The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest" Damn and that was crazy good honestly remember how Johbny and the red hair bitch would go into "Questworld" all the time? That was Cartoon Network trying to forcefeed us Johnny Quest back then 🐷
