omg I had no idea that dreamworks bought voltron from bobby at WEP . Apparently theyre also developing a live action film? Sorting out casting and stuff. Looks like its probs a few years away though. Really sad that Bobby is co-producing tho :( I hope the trademark transfer to dreamworks didnt give him a hole into it to fuck it all up.

A film would pull in more older fans as well.. itd be more likely to be targeting older audiences as well, like the transformers films are different to the animated series I imagine.

I wonder if theyd keep or advance the representation there was in VLD. Because there was so much backlash about later seasons and WEP seemed to not understand what the demographics of the fans actually was. Bobby thought it was all young boys and their dads watching it, but it turned out to be teenage girls.. I wonder if theyd make a transformers-type live action but targeting that girl/gay demographic that latched onto VLD? There'd be a niche for it. People would go insane over it

Kinda doubt it tho. There would also be a lot of backlash from older fans of the original series if paladins were lgbt+, which is probably what the vocal fans would be screaming for. Its probably already a big ask for boomer fans if allura is black or brown and not looking aryan. Imagine how hard theyd shit themselves if keith was gay in canon

#vld #voltron #voltron legendary defender #the truth is that keith is gay so its gonna be pretty awkward either way tbh. someones gonna have to cope and seethe #ig if you pander to the younger demographics then you get more free advertising on social media from the effects of fandom #and fandom keeps hype alive which makes it easier to make sequels and things in franchises. Plus a lot of VLD fans were searching for #merch. it just wasnt action figures. they made do with fandmade zines and stuff instead #wonder how theyd adapt it. Could be a really cool voltron rennaisance in a few years :) hopefully they take their time writing& producing #and that it comes out a polished happy film rather than whatever kind of crack sched vld was with all those last minute edits
