I voted blue, but this one really breaks my heart![]()
There is a serious moral deficiency in anyone who has no problem taking a creature's life in order to fill their own stomach.
It doesn't really break my heart, it was a... figure of speech.

Is that a Thundercat presiding in the picture? That feline is so badass his shit covers itself up.
Voltron stank to high heaven, Robby. Any kiddie cartoons that stress useful group dynamics like teamwork and cooperation ought to be summarily canceled and their creators sterilized with rusty forks. I much preferred The Transformers-- the Manichean battle of good and evil gave my life purpose during those grim Cold War years in a way that the goody-goody Voltron never could. The good guys were cars; the power of the individual was given a satisfyingly American touch-- I am my car, my car is me-- rendering the battle against the Communist collective all the more vivid and exciting. Plus, you have to admit, the assembled Voltron wasn't intimidating at all. He/they/it looked like a carnival clown, and how badass is a robot whose name is reminiscent of volt, calling to mind Duracell-powered toasters? Whereas the Transformers, even the good ones, looked like eager and well-equipped sadists.
dude(Worm) you got issues
but i'm not gonna debate voltron or transformers
when both are mere gateways to greatest cartoon of all time

Well, damn, Robby, Robotech is a different animal. I mean, talking Transformers versus Voltron, and then talking Robotech, is like debating Family Circus versus Peanuts and then talkin' about Picasso.
Any self-respecting young man obviously liked Lisa Hayes. Minmay was a twee-voiced little tramp. She was a showbiz type, damaged goods. Numberless cases of childhood molestation by her sleazy uncle/"manager" were only preparing her for a run at being a 'serious actress', which would quickly lead to a fall into a grim life as a debauched porn actress moaning on the screens of Macross's spankhouses. She was a strong candidate for drug overdose or suicide before the age of twenty-five.
Lisa, on the other hand, was smarter and more capable, the model of the New Woman who could be equal and even superior to men. Moreover she knew how to give Rick orders, and I think all of us secretly liked to feature her sassy bob-haired authority in our fantasies. Minmay offered the fleet moral support. Whatever. Screw that. Lisa had the magisterial presence to send hundreds of young men to die in the feverish ecstasy of space combat, the tenderness to bring Rick tea and biscuits in a bid for hot make-up sex, and the godlike inner strength to order the mass-nuking of a race of aliens. Absolutely d-r-e-a-m-y.
