I want a J Quest film just to sit in a theater and hear the theme at the beginning of the film and have a major Hollywood composer build and entire score off it.

It's next level perfect for an adventure film.

Dinoriders. Hire the people that made the last 2 Godzilla movies. Just make it a 90 minute schlock-fest, unapologetically camp. Good guys vs bad guys, riding dinosaurs that are tricked out with missile launchers, rail guns, and laser cannons.

This +1000, and with Henry Cavill on board.

Henry Cavill's 'Voltron' Is Coming — Here's Everything We Know About the Live-Action Reboot

My all time favorite animated series (80s) as a kid. I have the Voltron Lego set, and still have my original Japanese Y&K die cast toy… missing some pieces but have all the lions.

For this I hope they are more true to the original GoLion series that Voltron was based on. There were things taken out of it to make it kid-friendly for the U.S., for example,

They cut GoLion down significantly for the US but that didn’t matter, because as kids, lions and robots.

While the source material was darker (see embedded video above - I’ve never seen a complete dubbed/subbed version), everything I’ve read indicates it’s far superior, even though each episode can tend to stand alone. There are some multi episode plots.

I’m hoping that Cavill is as big of a fan of the original source material as he is on his other projects, such that’s the reason he is on board for this. Would be nice to have something different.

Here’s the difference in origin of Voltron:

You pasted the one from the 90s?

Pale imitation of the OG 1964 series perfection, both the series AND the theme song:
