Voltron was adapted from Golion, one of the most extremest and darkest anime in the 80's, I have ever seen. It was nowhere near for minors. They had to make extented changes in order to make it compatible for the younger audience and yet, still a few scenes managed to slip like the scene where Lotor takes Romelle from her cell into his private chamber. She later returned to her cell visibly... frustrated, stunned, suggesting heavily that Lotor raped her (in the japanese version it was much clearer that Lotor raped her).
I was surprised and concerned that they let that scene survive into Voltron.
As for this Superman cartoon, I also do not expect to go dark (especially not at Golion level) but I do hope to see some mature themes into the mix.
Best case scenario? I expect to be close to Sunbow Transformers/ G.I.JOE pre their indivisual movies.

Well, depends on what kind of love triangle we're talking about here. Are we expecting the Clark/Lois/Superman triangle in some form? Will it just be Clark pursuing Lois while she only sees Superman as a story? Will we throw Lex into the ring?
I think modern romcoms still have love triangles or love rivals so I wouldn't rule it out. That they're even emphasizing the romance is a bit out of the norm for a Superhero cartoon.
If Clark worships Lois like a goddess, kisses the ground she walks on, while she's interested in anyone but Clark, I won't see her. I hate Injustice, but if you look at the Superman shows and movies, the idea that Clark becomes a psychopath if Lois dies is pretty spot on.
I think the only circumstance in which I'd like to see Lois x Luthor is if Luthor pursued her just to annoy Superman.
Lois x Luthor seemed to be popular in 90s in other media, but I'd rather it stayed away.

At least Smallville Lex had the decency to lust after Lana .
When I think of Byrne and screwy triangles, the one that always came to mind for me was Perry White and Lex Luthor both competing for Alice's attention.
It's almost like, "What else can we do to make Luthor more dastardly? Let's make him like the unlikable 'other man'!"
I guess that's a little better than just making him a stand-in for Trump/GWB/any sitting president the writer doesn't like. Then again, maybe not.
They've advertised it as a romcom but I think the Superhero stakes will be serious enough, although it's hard to tell without any footage or interviews.

Good news for MAWS!The company is all-in on a streaming first strategy, but family programming hasn’t had a huge presence in the two-plus years of HBO Max’s existence. WBD will continue with development of animated projects aimed at younger viewers via its Cartoon Network and Warner Bros. Animation arms.
