Isn't this just a copy of Voltron?

[Die Hard]

I'm sorry. But isn't Power Rangers just a copy of Voltron?

[PRangerX]

Actually, this is an extremely done to death question in this fandom. Power Rangers gets its action footage from Super Sentai in Japan. Which predates Voltron, whose source material is a Japanese material called Golion. Golion was actualy made by Toei. Which is the same production company that does Super Sentai. So its not a copy. Really, the whome idea of a team of five heros and/or mecha is common in Japanese anime or live action toku.

Plus its not like the Voltron characters could morph. They had their own mecha.

[Massive Ego]

Copy Voltron? They copy Super Sentai. Both have big robots, thats where the similarities end.

[Captain Codfish]

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of us fans who were older got into PR because of Voltron. Not that it is a copy by any close margin.

[KimandTommy]

I never saw Voltron. But Power Rangers is diffinitly original.

[Superstatler]

Power Rangers definitely didn't copy Voltron.

[Usagi Reborn]

Voltron was actually a lot darker than Power Rangers was early on.

[Outer Sailor]

Not as dark as Golion.

[Sentai Envy]

80s Kids weren't ready for Golion.

[KimandTommy]

I'm glad I didn't watch Voltron is it was dark. Golion sounds like it must have been horrible.

[Ninja Kat]

Voltron was presented in a way to be suitable to its audience. It was a fun show most of the time. The villains were just very dark.
