1st Border Red Devil Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) At least with a "Robotech 7", there'd be an original to fall back on. With Shadow Chronicles, there's nothing to make it better. Eh, I think if they went back and cel-shaded that godawful CGI in Shadow Chronicles it would at least improve so as to not look like drek. It would then just be piss-poor storytelling. Edited September 15, 2011 by 1st Border Red Devil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeyondTheGrave Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 IMO, Doug Bendo is Robotech's version of Bobby Knight because he really wants to pick a fight with just about anyone. So when he's at home reading this stuff and angered does he through chairs around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1st Border Red Devil Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Just got a sneak peak at the newest release of Prelude to the Shadow Chronicles. They're adding in Lron's son Dardo as the new Karbarran Ambassador... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're adding in Lron's son Dardo as the new Karbarran Ambassador... What I've always wondered is why they named the kitty cat planet Garuda, which is, in Hinduism, a bird with golden wings and flown by Vishnu. I know it's not important, but they could've been a little more creative than just picking up books, closing your eyes, opening a page, and randomly picking a name. Either that, or make them bird like people, and make a more direct correlation. Edited September 16, 2011 by Jasonc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) Why did they think mixing in gay D&D animal races into "robotech" was a good idea anyway?

Darkwater Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 My buddy and I were talking on the phone about stuff, nothing in particular, and that ad came into the topic. He told me that there was this long conspiracy that Macross purists put out the ad because they knew that Robotech fans would buy the DVDs, then look for that character, then we'd supposedly point the way to Frontier, and try to "convert" them. After a few minutes of laughing hard, I said, "I should write on MW that I made it, and let him go into a frenzy of conspiracies that a 'Macross Purist' supposedly put it up." After the idea came up, I posted it up that evening, and I didn't want to sound so serious about it, so I put that little tag at the end of the post. I thought he'd pick up on that, but I guess you can't underestimate stupidity. I'm listening to this right now - it's mind-blowing how far the conspiracies have gone in his head. When I heard the first podcast stating his conspiracy theory, I thought it was far-fetched even for him. But by fanning the flame like you did, it's like he's reached the tipping point of sanity. He honestly believes your backpeddling was out of fear of legal repercussions. Btw, it's a 45 minute podcast, and it took 33 minutes to get to the point. There's plenty of homoerotic references as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Focker Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I'm gonna take a moment to explain why the Sentinels Alien Races was such a stupid idea. My explanation goes beyond the stupid character designs. In Robotech it is suggested that the Robotech Masters ruled all. They have the Zentraedi warriors who destroyed all. They're arch enemies the Invid nearly destroys who use protoculture. We've seen what the Zentraedi have done to the Earth. Why did the Masters, Invid & Zentradi let all these losers live? I want a good reason besides so Robotech could eventually have a rip off United Federation of Planets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine that the concept of featuring several different alien races in The Sentinels was born out of the need to expand the existing toy line, unfortunately it was poorly conceived. While Macek did a decent job editing three anime series into Robotech, he's not a writer, which The Sentinels made abundantly clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the Masters do not name the Invid as their primary foes but instead group called The Disciples of Zor who are strong enough to open up another offensive against their Zentraedi warriors. The Invid, by comparison, are not even remotely on par. Besides, an empire full of destroyed planets is not really an empire. Still got to have food and other raw materials to shove into the all-consuming maw of a war machine. Need subservient races to do the lifting. At least the Praxians appear to be baseline humans, which the Masters say they respect all who share its form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is interesting...considering that I've run across Robotech fans who complain that the main reason they like Robotech more than Macross is because the "Supervision Army" reamins unseen and unknown...yet the "Disciples of Zor" are really the same thing, aren't they? An unseen, unknown enemy who's apparently totally badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all likelihood, I didn't forget it...not being a "Robotechnologist," I probably didn't know it in the first place. So go ahead...what is it? Where does Scientology fit into all of this? Oh, I'm sure the name L'ron has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with "L. Ron Hubbard." That said, being that one of my favorite authors is James Branch Cabell, I'm annoyed that that the not only used his name in The Sentinels, but also mispronounced it. As the man himself once rhymed, "Tell the rabble my name is Cabell." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Hubbard's science fiction) WILL INDEED pay if you show Scientology books in your amateur movie...so yeah...maybe Carl Macek and Matchbox had an extra source of revenue.
