The Phantom Menace is NOT that bad.

Highlander II may be the worst movie ever made, period.

It didn't do well enough to warrent a big budget animated film.

I really don't think we need some direct-to-video quality Macross movie made. You know it would never been more than that. It would be the kind of thing shown on USA or Sci-Fi at 2 in the morning next to movies like Cyborg.

That would be a HORRID idea. I don't think Kawamori will be revisiting Macross 7 any time soon.

Completely ruined the value of that book.

Sorry, I was away for a week and a half.

So my point still stands, then.

Capture method? I just right clicked and chose "Save as Quicktime Movie".

Couldn't the other staff members been influenced by Macross II in their development of 7? Kawamori didn't do the whole show all by himself.

They are when you throw in the fact that Macross II music is used in 7. I guess Kawamori had never heard that either, right? He just stumbled across the music and decided to use it, not knowing where it came from. Riiight.

Yup, still in denial.

I don't see how anyone could say Tatsunoko owns rights to the entire Macross franchise, when its quite obvious that Big West is continuing to pump out Macross products uncontested. I mean, HELLO, Macross Zero...

This thread is all over the place... is Keith still denying the fact that Macross 7 was heavily influenced by Macross II?

This movie is going to suck badly.

You are trying to apply current official cannon to old non-cannon. It doesn't quite work.

Greedo shoots first.

Exploring space is better than lost in space. We would not be having this discussion. Kawamori should have left the 2012 ending alone as it was.

You said it yourself that AFOS might be some sort of defensive mechanism. My point was there might be more to the whole "leave the miclones alone" now. The continuity keeps changing, who is to say? And you are assuming that Protoculture = miclones, which I don't think it does anymore. "Leave the miclones alone" may now mean more than just that the Prorotculture didn't want them to interfere. It might mean that the miclones were thought to be well defended and/or dangerous. Creatures like the AFOS could be the reason behind that.

Evil prototype... Remember, leave the miclones alone. Could be a good reason, perhaps the miclones were thougth to be left well defended by Protoculture weapons.

Why not just leave is as 2012 had, say they are out exploring the galaxy. He didn't need to have them disapear. We wouldn't be sitting here talking about any of this if he just had left the 2012 ending as it was.

Temple of Doom is a FABULOUS movie. I have found amongst many Indy fans it tends to be their favorite. No time for love, Dr Jones!

Pat and Uxi, you aren't getting what I am saying. I have no problem with him ending their story. I am saying he went about it the wrong way, which is why its still debated today.

Most of you know I buy into the whole "story has been told, leave it be" argument, but I got to thinking recently... would Kawamori have been better off saying they settled somewhere distant in the galaxy, and that is that? By saying they disappeared, he is stirring up some controversy. People will debate it and continue to discuss it because he left them with an ending that is a mystery. Fans want to solve mysteries, its in their nature! Hell, he probably should have just left Flashback 2012 as the ending, and not said anything else. They flew off to explore the universe, THE END. Not like he can follow up now anyways, with Hikaru's voice actor being dead.

Seem to be the two episodes I can never find. Can anyone help?
