I happened to stumble across this show on YouTube. Not sure which episode it was. I just knew I was seeing robotic lions flying through the sky, and I was mesmerized. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen and I wanted to find more. Truth be told, I actually used to not like science fiction. I thought all of it was idiotic. I loved mysteries and thrillers, and still do. I didn't understand how anyone could get obsessed with fantasy. There's no way you could've told the 21-year-old version of myself that I would've discovered Voltron and enjoyed it, to the point of binge watching. Fast forward 10 years later, and this is hands down the coolest cartoon I've ever seen. Maybe it's because as I'm getting older, I'm starting to grow into myself more. And what's so nice about working from home, is not having to deal with people's judgmental attitudes. You have more autonomy, and more freedom to be your own individual. If people are talking about a show or movie they love, but you think it's cringe, you don't have to join in and tell them what you like to watch if you don't want to. You don't feel pressured to socialize like you do in a physical workplace. Your quality of life will really improve when you no longer have to put up with people either making you feel strange for liking something, or the confused look they give you because they've never heard of your favorite show or movie, especially if it was out before the 1990s. I never cared for girly-girl stuff, and I think spending an increased amount of time by myself has allowed me to pursue my interests, as well as discover new things.
An unfortunately short-lived series, and the product of American and Japanese collaboration, Voltron follows the heroic adventures of five pilots as they operate robotic lions, which, when constructed together, make Voltron, in a quest to defend a planet called Arus, and the galaxy as a whole from King Zarkon, who also appeared in two additional series: one produced by World Events Productions, and the other by both DreamWorks Animation Television ad WEP. The animation, dialogue, and action sequences are quite impressive to have been geared towards children. The characters do often find themselves in perilous situations, so some of the scenes are, well, you know, scary... Perhaps even on the level of being more appropriate for an adult audience. But I guess kids back in the 80s were much tougher than they are now. Don't know if that would bode over well with kids now. I personally find it nice to watch something that whisks me away to another universe. Today's programs almost always revolve around current events, and animated shows aren't exempt (the long-running PBS series Arthur even addressed the COVID-19 pandemic. I know they live like humans in the story, despite being animals, but they're cartoon characters, so it's not like they can get sick anyway). It's good for people to be aware of what's going on in the world, but entertainment should be escapist, particularly for kids. If your child isn't sensitive, and you're comfortable with them watching a small amount of violence, this is an awesome show. It's also enjoyable for adults. If you haven't already, please check this out - you will not be disappointed, trust me!
