With the new Netflix original series from DreamWorks, Voltron: Legendary Defender, set to premiere on June 10th on the streaming site, we’ve got a ton of new images to go along with some awesome clips of this reboot of an 80’s classic. If you’re like me you may have been a bit hesitant to get excited about this new series, but I now think we need not worry. The cast and crew behind the show are fantastic but these new clips are what really have me counting down the days until I can binge watch all 13 episodes. Granted these are only two clips, but they seem to have nailed the feel and vibe of the original show. At the very least it looks like Legendary Defender is going to be jam packed with action. Don’t let me tell you though, judge for yourself.
Also I should point out that I understand a trailer and a few other clips for this show have been out for a while but I hadn’t gotten around to watching them yet. I have now, but the two newer clips below were the first I had seen.
Looks pretty good right? I think it does at least, particularly the animation which looks wonderful. Along with these new clips, DreamWorks and Netflix have also released some new still images and some pretty cool character cards for the series. Be sure to check those out in the gallery below!
