This time...CENSORSHIP!

For the final part of my Voltron DVD Review series, we take a lighthearted look at some examples of how the show was censored and watered down to make it suitable for kids in North America by looking at clips from one of the earlier episodes of the series.

Sorry, I slightly messed up the release date for Set 1 of GoLion - it's coming out May 27, 2008, not May 23 as stated in the video.

ALSO: be sure to check out World Events Production's YouTube page (they're the folks who brought us Voltron in the first place!) at:

http://www.youtube.com/user/WorldEvents

They have tons of cool Voltron related vids, as well as clips from other shows they've released over the years.

And of course, let's not forget the Official Voltron Website:

Enjoy!

P.S. Finally figured out how to do the mixed aspect ratios, while remaining true to each one. So I'm in widescreen, the clips are in fullscreen. Aren't I a clever boy? ;)

Luke Skywalker killed over a billion people who lived and worked on the DEATH STAR in A NEW HOPE! But I dont here you bitchin about that! Think about all of the staff that lived on the death star that had family's visiting, women and children! Luke killed them all in an instant! Yet hes suppose to be this goody to shoes hero? No! Even Yoda and Obi wan asked Luke to sacrifice Han solo and princess Leia for the good of the force! Come on! And whats the difference between poltergeist and the force?

@wiiagent I see someone's a Clerks fan.  ;)

[wiiagent]

@Zaranyzerak Yes actually! I'm a HUGE clerks fan!

[Zaranyzerak]

@wiiagent Hehehe...thought so! Your diatribe about the people being mercillesly killed on the Death Star reminded me of Randal's rant about all the innocent contract workers killed on the second Death Star when it was blown up during construction. :)

@wiiagent The death star is a MILITARY base, and the 60% of imperial soldiers are clones! Luke destroys the Death Star because is the operation base of the Imperium, don't forget that fact.

@EndOfLineReviews Because it's been covered to death by everyone and their dog already. I wanted to focus on a different example.

[EndOfLineReviews]

Is their any reason why you didn't cover one of the most important piece of censorship: Sven's Death

[pikabko1]
