Netflix's Lost In Space Reboot Looks A Little Like Mass Effect
People who make science-fiction television shows for a living may have played a little Mass Effect in their day. Imagine that! The new trailer for Netflix's Lost in Space appears to draw inspiration from BioWare's Mass Effect games, most notably in the design of Will Robinson's Robot, which looks a lot like Legion, Commander Shepard's geth teammate. You can see the similarities between Legion and Robot below:
Mass Effect fans will also be reminded of the Nomad, and may even think the Robinson space suits look somewhat familiar. BioWare's artists knocked it out of the part with Mass Effect, and it really shouldn't be that shocking to see it be used as inspiration for movies and television shows. If anything, it makes me want to watch the show more. You can see the entire Lost in Space trailer below:
