Keith Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Flipping through the channels this evening, I came across an episode of Mork & Mindy, which I haven't watched in countless years. So it surprised me when I saw this character: Exidor http://www.startrekitaliamagazine.it/Stand...one/exidor2.jpg Who bore a striking resemblance in both hair, slight facial features, and name to this character: Exedor http://www.rtucn.com/epic/people/jpg/exedore.jpg Coincidence?

LtStick Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 A very striking resemblance. Makes you wonder if that wasn't the basis of the character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoneWolf Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Good catch! The next time Mikimoto appears at a US convention someone should ask him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob joe mac Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 lol neat find reminds me of years back when people compared the heat miser from the old claymation Santa Claus movies with kakazaki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfx Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 But exedor now has been retconned to be green, have a bulbous head and tentacles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 But exedor now has been retconned to be green, have a bulbous head and tentacles. The redesign only applies to post SWI Exedor, the original still stands upwards of the mid 2010's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exsedol Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 There is no "Exedor" in Macross. It's Exsedol Formo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB0 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Not this again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exsedol Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Not this again. LoL Seriously though. Isn't this site about Macross? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 LoL Seriously though. Isn't this site about Macross? Exedor is a valid romanization no one here is talking about robotech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichterX Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Exedor is a valid romanization no one here is talking about robotech. It could be worse he could be wanting us to write things in katakana or hiragana or which ever it is used... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 OOh, somebody didn't get the memo. Millia has been updated to Miria and Exsedol Formo is now known as Exedor Folmo. Sorry. I SAY REGULT! NO, IT'S REGULD! Fun with languages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF5SS Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 The romanji for the katakan is RIGAADO. So it should really be Reguld. Regult is a mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exsedol Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 LoL it doesn't matter how the name SOUNDS. Spelling is spelling. And Exsedol isn't some japanese version of Exedore. His name is Exsedol. That's Zentran. I think to many people have been watching that Fan Subbed version of Macross 7 where they call them Exedore and Miria and thought those were the official subs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignacio Ocamica Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Exsedol is a zentran, zentraedi, zentradi or zjenthlauedy I'm being serious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumdumgai Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 As long as it's pretty close to how it sounds, whatever for me now. Now if you start calling Hikaru, Rick, and Misa, Lisa, and Kakizaki, Ben... Then you're likely to get poked by everyone. By the way doesn't DYRL Exedore remind you of the Talosians from Star Trek TOS episode "The Cage"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr March Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 There's so many egg heads in science fiction Exedol resembles any one of a hundred different creatures from the Grey Aliens of X-Files to "The Leader" from the Incredible Hulk.

JB0 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I propose a universal naming scheme. ブリタイ・クリダニク is henceforth to be referred to exclusively as "Chromedome" エã‚セドル・フォルモ shall be known exclusively as "Ol' Lumpy" ミリア・ファリーナ・ジーナス will be referred to as "Hot Mom" I feel this new naming scheme should remove any confusion, and make it quite clear that we're talking about the Macross characters as opposed to their Robotech counterparts, who are referred to under the new system as "Poopyhead," "Poopyhead," and "Hot Poopyhead.

Pat Payne Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 First -- to the "Exedore/Exsedol" fight -- "Lum" "Lamu" "Lam" "Ram" "Ramu" "Rum", all coming from "ラム•インベーダー", and all used at one point or another on official tchotchkies from Studio Pierrot. And while I'm not discounting the uncanny similarities between Robert Donner and Exedor Folmo, (and the names of the characters) I don't quite buy that the character "Exidor" influenced the character "Exedor." Original drawings of the character (from Perfect Memory) show him to be macrocephalic and bald, and those were done well after the Exidor character first was introduced on Mork and Mindy. It could be that Mikimoto was influenced by Donner's characterization and look, but it seems a stretch. But then again, stranger things have happened, and nothing's created in a vacuum, either Oh, and JBO, I'm whole-heartedly behind your naming convention. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 (edited) Really good thread. And I agree with the comment about the new exedor with tentacles looking like The Leader from the hulk. That's always what I'm reminded of when I see broccoli head. Maybe many thousands of years ago, Exedor was once a supervillain in a comic book until the PC captured him and made clones for themselves?

Exsedol Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 The big brain alien thing started in the 60's in comics and toys. Startrek carried the torch and then mork and mindy. Big brain aliens have been around for a long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taksraven Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I always knew that the Robotech novels were crap but when they tried to equate Exit Door with Exedore, I knew that they were really trying to fill up page space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
