Well... if nothing else, you have to applaud Titan's efforts to make the covers awful enough to be a representative sample of the contents. They're working hard to ensure that you CAN judge a book by its cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time someone called me a "Macross purist" and meant it as an insult was barely two months ago. It was always most popular among the Robotech fans who thought the Masters Saga was actually watchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were two great versions of this already. Zoidberg doing the dance of peace and kinda sorta related this video of a crab with a knife.

Besides, the reality where trivial stuff like that mattered is now somewhere out there in the newly created Robotech multiverse, never to be heard from again. At least, that’s my take away from the ending of the first series of this venture. It’s just a Macross parody now.

jeniusornome Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Heh. If you want to think about it “in continuity” with Macross... if DYRL is an in-universe hit docudrama about space war 1... and Macross II is a direct-to-video sequel that everyone kind of laughs about but loved all the music... then Robotech is like one of those B movie knockoffs designed to capitalize on popularity of a film by confusing people.

Because while all of that sounds noble, it's also a luxury this franchise hasn't had over the past 35 years. The run before Titan Comics came in was the Voltron crossover. Just felt like pointing that out again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before that, it was the limited run reboot comics that were basically bad Macross fanfics. And before THAT it was a series of steaming turds that sold so poorly Harmony Gold mercy-killed the license and now refuses to acknowledge them because of all the copyright infringement. Robotech is a veritable smorgasbord of sh*t. You can cherrypick if you like, but the difference is between stool samples... not turds and chocolate bonbons.

JB0 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 As I recall, it was usually more along the lines of "lying Macross purist". In that we were fabricating tales of what Macross was doing and how bad Robotech, internationally renowned epic saga, was performing. I mean, the Robotechies were claiming the creators of Macross preferred the RT take on things and were steering their own franchise in that direction("ripping off Robotech"), and somehow WE were the liars.
