Voltron or She-Ra? What were they trying to accomplish? Did they succeed and who did it best?
She-Ra, not even a contest
Was that due to it's superior quality or did you have low expectations that it easily met and surpassed?
shera had the better story
voltron had the better character dynamic and over all design
Voltron was well liked by Zig Forums until ot turn out not as good as expected. She-Ra was hated by Zig Forums and turn out not as bad as expected.
Manage you expectations.
She-Ra is much better with its overall use of time. Most of VLD's episodes are instantly forgettable and clutter the story with bullshit. The series could have been trimmed by about 50%.
Also, She-Ra may not steamroll her competition, but you don't doubt she can take it to the bad guys. Voltron is a fucking pussy. For an action cartoon directed by a guy who did the fights on Justice League Unlimited, Voltron jobs so much in the latter seasons that you wonder if the joke D&D versions of the Paladins from "Monsters and Mana" would have more success against the villains than the fucking giant robot. It makes the show very dull when your heroes spend most of their time losing or relying on the villains' incompetence to eke out a "win."
I'd say that Voltron slowly declined in quality while every season of She-Ra built steadily on the last.
While I liked Voltron, those last two seasons were pretty damn disappointing. Especially the botched relationships and character development.
I still have no clue what they were trying to do with Axca and how the hell they could fumble Lance and Adora's relationship.
She-Ra had a proper build up with a slow season 1-2 and a big season 5. Voltron had a early Zarkon fight and story wise lost its footing afterwards.
You made a thing.
What's the female equivalent of virgin and chad?
The main thing with these shows is both only appealed at the end to gay shippers. The difference is one actually let its ship happen (which funny enough is abusive incest) while the other didn't
Voltron wins not because of any LGBT rep or lack of, but that they made a show that, when detaching from the fandom, wants to invite any older fan of older Voltron media to join in, while the creators of She-ra tried to burn bridges and actively hate and shit on the old series as part of its "marketing"
I feel like that wasn't so much of an issue. The heroes should only narrowly win. In a few of the fights they really use their heads and team-work to narrowly win and that's the best scenes in the entire show.
Adora and even Glimmer also had to be regularly gimped by the plot so they didn't just steamroll.
I liked both.
They have the same INT stat, that's for sure.
So you're saying Voltron wins not because of better writing in characters and story, but because it panders to a wider audience?
Becky and stacy
No, it's also better in writing of characters and story. Which is to say it isn't very good and any development stops halfway through when they had no idea what they are doing, but compared to a show who thinks a murderer can be redeemed in 2 episodes and then dating her essential sister she's tried to torture and kill for 4 seasons it makes Voltron look god-tier
Voltron wins in capitalism and marketing but She-Ra wins with better writing.
fair enough..
Haven't seen both of the shows, but I wanted to point out that I wouldn't judge a show by the popularity/audience it accrues over the actual content of it
Comparing ANYTHING to Voltron is low bar
>voltron had the better character dynamic
what?
Only like, three characters from Voltron actually mattered and were at all interesting, the rest were entirely redundant
Season 7 is about war. About the casualties that amass when a world is locked in anger. It’s not just a silly kids show about space cats. It’s so much deeper. So much darker. It’s raw and real regardless of its fantastical settings
So you watched clowntv and didn't actually watch the show
Yeah it wasn't worded that great, and to be fair right now the SR fans are being the annoying ones because it just ended, but Voltron's fandom was always way worse
Voltron was trying to be an action show. I never really got any other impression from it and to be honest it was acceptable at it. Not great but I was pretty invested in it when it aired - though I never bothered with the last season because of the reaction it got.
She-Ra is a little harder to pin down what they wanted. It's not much of an action show - what action it has is pretty weak. It's kind of more of a character drama since that's what it focuses on. It does it okay I guess.
It makes them hard to compare them since they seem like they have different goals though I'll be honest She-Ra was harder to sit through then Voltron.
>clowntv
Who is that?
Somebody say silly space cats?
She-Ra had strong seasons 3-5 (they are actually 3-4 but Netflix decided to split a season for some reason) and Votron had a good season 1 and then yikes
Nothing can top Voltron making an alien kiss you and turn you into an alien too which makes you become a wistful soft farm boy
>No one is fighting the real enemy
Only thing in Voltron I had a stake in.
Votron is action mecha heavily relying on visual. While taking itself way too seriously which made a lot of things fall flat.
She-Ra is character drama first and foremost, the plot revolves between the protagonist and the antagonist, it's also a comedy and the action comes after. But it never took itself too seriously, the characters are genre-savvy and know they're in a goofy 80's reboot cartoon, not a grimdark war epic.
show has its own merits even Zig Forums cant ignore.
