We bet you didn’t know this innovative Netflix series is a sequel to a fan-favorite 1980s cult classic! Here’s what we know about it!
I mean, I’m all for Love, Death & Robots, but this clickbait bullshit is shameful — the series is incredible, and deserves better. 🖕🏽
What garbage.
Love death + robots is not at all similar or related to Heavy Metal.
And the movie already had a sequel, it was called Heavy Metal 2000.
Eh, I’ve never actually sat and watched love, death and robots. But my understanding of it is it’s a non serialized episodic program often revolving around a different sci-fi or fantasy storyline from episode to episode. Spiritually it’s very in line with metal hurlant, or heavy metal in the US. But yeah unless there’s heavy involvement from either of those magazines or anyone significant from the other productions. Calling it any sort of prequel or sequel is wildly disingenuous for sure.
Short films. That’s all it is. By different people with different stories all sort of loosely themed on sci-fi and a dash of other stuff.
I mean, I love it, it’s delightfully random, but it isn’t cohesive enough to be a sequel to anything.
To be fair, that’s basically what the original heavy metal film was. Though it did have the lochnar as a thin linking device between each of the separate stories. But yes, it’s definitely deceptive advertising on their part for sure.
Came here to say exactly that - this article is bullshit. I love LD&R, but aside from it being animated there’s no similarity with HM. Some of the episodes are wildly different in theme, feel, and style. I don’t see how anyone can call it a “spiritual successor” in good faith. Hell, as a diverse collection of stories and styles, it’s hard to relate it to any one movie or show at all.
There’s also South Park S12E03 which is a spoof of Heavy Metal
