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

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.

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

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.

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