>>91517811As that 26 episodes wind their way to a thrilling climax, Princess Fala, with the help of Golion, successfully deposes her planet's military dictatorship. But in the fight, her brother Raido, now one of Golion's pilots, is killed-- only to be replaced by the Galran Prince Sincline, who turns from honorable foe to crucial ally in the continuing struggle against the Galran Emperor. Peace eventually settles across the galaxy, and if the show does well enough, season 2 can be all about the combined forces of the Alterans, Terrans, and Galrans as they face off against the Vril-- the cold, ancient, and ruthless celestial engineers who created Golion in the first place! And when all seems lost, Imagawa will reveal the story's coolest surprise: turns out that desperate trip from Earth to Altera way back at the beginning of the show was done in cold sleep, without hyperspace technology, a sub-lightspeed trip that took about 1,600 years. As the Vril prepare to destroy their defiant creation and its pilots, Earth's fleet, long since recovered from the ancient nuclear cataclysm, jumps into Alteran space, along with their own robot dreadnaught-- Dairugger XV.
Only one question remains here-- how would you turn something like this into Voltron? The way I see it, just change the names, if that. No doubt that the new CG Voltron will involve some selling of toy robots to children, but it's just as much a nostalgia vehicle for the adults who grew up watching the original in the 80s and 90s, so making a sharper, smarter Voltron shouldn't be a problem. The only element that I'm not really taking into account here is the gang of mice that the princess hangs out with. But they'd be in the mix somewhere, I guess!
