This may be greater than that trailer for The Avengers

Okay, no it isn't, but it DOES star Lassie from Psych, which makes it pretty damned awesome:

There's a discussion with the director about why he made it here. It reminds me a little of that rather gritty Mortal Kombat mini-movie that has actually been optioned to turn into a full-fledged series. And if you can make a gritty reboot of Mortal Kombat into a show, surely we can give this heart-breakingly awesome treatment of Voltron a shot, right? RIGHT?

CAN'T STOP THE GEEKERY

Red outfit, Black Lion (blah blah do ANY of the colors match blah blah).

Otherwise, pretty awesome. I'd watch a series with this as the cold open, followed by a time-skip and a desperate search by the last remnants of the Galactic Alliance for the now surely self-repaired and self-rebased in appropriate biomes Lions.

You may need to adjust your monitor, the lion is definitely red, just scorched. The uniform color is wrong, though.

YAY YOU LIKE IT AS MUCH AS I DO! I have this inordinate love of Voltron because it was something my siblings loved and got all nostalgic about when it was playing in reruns when I was a kid. I love my siblings, so it was fun to share something they loved with them.

And I would totally watch this series you propose. In all seriousness, I actually totally get what the director says in the interview about making it into a more realistic show, a la BSG. I want it!
