Like Avatar, because it's so fun in most parts, when that show turned dark those moments really seemed a lot darker. JDS: And I think Voltron kind of fits between Avatar and Korra, in terms of its tone. That was something we were keeping in mind when we were starting the show up, to have these characters that have those fun comic moments but also really go to the darker areas if we needed to. We wanted to be able to go in dark territory where we needed to but we definitely wanted to have a light-hearted tone to it and a lot of fun.
people who worked on Avatar and Korra, who really enjoyed longer, structured stories, it was great working with Netfllix who allowed us to do that."Īs far as Voltron is concerned, we definitely knew, going into it, that we didn't want to make it quite as mature as Korra. The first is that working for Netflix, the feeling is much more an embrace, whereas having a network showrunner is usually kind of a no-no – they want something episodic that you can watch no matter where you are in the series.
It really helped that transition on a new show. We didn't have to worry about it because those relationships were already in place. JDS: It really helps, especially when you're starting a new show or starting with new people, to have that adjustment period. It was really lucky for us because we were able to jump from one show to the next – some people got a nice little break after the crazy-intense job that Korra was, but we definitely knew the team we wanted and we went for them. LM: It was definitely intentional we chose the people that we had that relationship with but it was also very fortunate, timing-wise, that Korra just happened to be coming to an end at the same time Dreamworks was looking for a team to make this Voltron show.
We did what we could to try to recreate that situation again. There was really no need to change the formula too much. JDS: Extremely deliberate! We loved all the people that we worked with and had such a good work relationship with on Korra. WIRED: Creatively, you seemed to 'get the band back together' from Korra and Avatar.

And some of the fan art we were blown away by, like how professional it looked. Joaquim Dos Santos: As we started seeing fan art come in and all the different countries it was coming from that was really cool to see. It's also more diverse, abandoning the all-male team of the '80s show, while honouring its Japanese roots by revamping Sven – the pilot of the Black Lion – as Shiro, the name of his counterpart in GoLion. Legendary Defender skews slightly older, with more complex storylines than the monster-of-the-week formula of old, while building long-form arcs that stretch across seasons. Unlike the original, the remake is an entirely western-led production, developed by Dreamworks and boasting a creative team packed with animation luminaries from Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. In times of great need, the five lions can combine to form Voltron, Defender of the Universe – the only force powerful enough to defeat the Galran Emperor Zarkon's fearsome Robeasts.
2016 VOLTRON DEFENDER OF THE UNIVERSE FORM SERIES
A modern reimagining of a 1980s cartoon (which itself was an edited and dubbed version of the Japanese series Beast King GoLion), it follows five Paladins who pilot giant, semi-sentient robot lions to battle the evil Galra Empire. Voltron: Legendary Defender was a surprise hit when it landed on Netflix last year. The rebooted Voltron is more focused on the human characters, making it a major event when the giant robot shows up Netflix / Dreamworks
