Even kids who will like the Voltron show won't be into it THAT MUCH.

They seriously need to stop exaggerating this crap.

I've been watching this commercial for a while, cause they always seem to play it when DBZ Kai is on, and thats just an extra helping of piss me off. But yeah, I dont have high hopes for this (not that I have high hopes for anything on Nicktoons thats "original"). Really if Avatar wasnt on that channel (and invader Zim) I would have no real reason to watch it.
does nicktoons still play invader zim. OOOH good memories of that show :D
shame i dont have sky anymore :(
On the weekends at least. I know they do Sundays (I think).

Wow, way to completely miss the point.

It's not even the issue of rap, if done right you can pull it off (see: Gurren Lagann, even if the actual rapping is kinda hilarious, it fit) it's just... what does that have to do with Voltron?

I'm guessing they're just ignoring that CG Voltron show they had XD

A Nickelodeon reproduction of something that used to be good but now looks like crap... now there's a first.

*cough*Power Rangers Samurai*cough*

Never actually watched the original, but giant transforming mechs have always had place near and dear to me.

Well, that was painful. I was never into Voltron when I was younger and this did not leave a good impression.

As someone who knows nothing of Voltron, I have no clue what it involves (beyond some big robot) and I have even less inclination to check it out now.

There's only one thing I can think of after seeing that commercial:

"Voltron! REPRESENT!"

Goddamn, I thought they learned their lesson during the late 80's and early 90's. I bet the execs behind it still throw around phrases like "urban audience" and "NUD". Not everything has to be turned into a rap song to appeal to "kids these days"!

Now, if they used Check Yo Self by Ice Cube on the other hand...

DRAGON. FUCKING. BALL. FUCKING. Z. FUCKING. KAI. FUCK!!!

If NickToons didn't play Zim and a few other choice shows I miss from my kiddy days, I would gladly lead a violent mob to their doorstep.

Voltron suffers way too much from the nostalgia syndrome, just because you liked it when you were 10 years old, doesn't mean that you would like it now. Christ, I watched a DVD of He-Man: Masters of the Universe and the original Transformers series last year, it was the biggest pile of crap I ever saw. The animations are poor and re-used, the story makes no sense whatsoever and basically repeats itself every episode.

Guess what? All you original series Voltron lovers will not enjoy the new series, because it is marketed at kids of this day, not a 35 year old with pink nostalgia glasses on. They do not owe you anything, in any way, to make this series a carbon copy of the old one (I am not even sure if that would work).
