I was into the comics - but I've only seen the first dozen or so episodes of the show. I got the DVDs from the library and got bored with it quick. Still loved the comics, though. My favorite was the Malcontent Uprising.

Hollywood will find a way to fuck it up, as usual. THey did it with GI Joe and I swear I will never forgive them for it.

I will still see it. Robotech was my favorite cartoon series. I can't not see it. Yeah, and I loved GIJoe comics as a kid and we all saw what horrible things they did with that. Two of my very favorite things from childhood were Wolverine and GI Joe. Both were raped mercilessly in front of me on the big screen in the same year. They were raped worse than Star Wars and Indiana Jones were. Yes, I said it. So having been nostalgia-raped by all of those things, I have been inoculated. There is no way this can suck harder than Midichlorians, Jar Jar Binks, Deadpool, or the GI Joe movie did. Great, now I'm depressed.

The damn thing wasn't even Sci-Fi original movie quality. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0198123/ All I can say is: HOW did they screw that up? Gundam as a franchise has brought in an estimated $5 billion as of 2009 IIRC. Billion. That's with minimal penetration of the US market. Gundam should be a huge live action franchise just like Transformers is! I have a sporadic collection of Hobby Japan magazines going back to the 80s. It's awesome seeing the evolution of the Gundam armor. It's constantly being updated and always fresh and interesting. |

If and when they make a RT movie, I hope they cast it properly. I hope Toby Maguier is not shown on screen even thou his little production company has a small stake in the RT name now.
I would just have for them to make a movie and just Fuck it all up to Hell and back. Now to go play with my MPC and old school mecha and VT and Zent pods. I'm doing to do mock battles with my kids. Thou my favorites to play with are the Invid and Cyclones. Thou the Alphas and Beta's rock too. My daughter says I have too many SDF1 toys. What can I say, she's wrong. For all those wanting to know, the newest Video in the Robotech Saga is coming out in a week and a half. LLA with Shadow Chronicles. You can pre order on Amazon |

... Actually, I don't really mind the character, I just never gave that time period much thought. I'd rather see the Malcontent Uprisings or Shadow Rising.

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Easy, you start with the one year war, and I mean the very beginning (not in the last few months like the original 79' version does). Leave out all of the newtype and angsty teen crap and have it just be soliders. 8th MS team would be a good example of taking ordinary soldiers on just one front. MS IGLOO actually did this showing the initial invasion of earth and how the feddies get absolutely curb stomped by the zeon forces at the beginning. The US just does not have a giant robot fad like Japan has/did. Gundam is actually a pretty solid franchise in terms of the storyline, it just gets muddled by all teen drama and anti-war rants that are deep routed in the series. After the 12th series it is like....ok we got it already...war sucks....you got a nuke dropped on you japan...suck it up. |

His wiki suggests that they are hoping the movie will launch a whole series of movies, so if they don't fuck it up, we might get to see a movie for each saga. Macross, Masters, New Generation, Sentinals (never seen this series personnally. Don't think it aired.) |

Sentinels was supposed to be a series but got axed after only a couple of episodes were made.
Macek re-edited those episodes into a single 90min movie. Depending on the dvd set you have, it might be in there as part of the bonus features. eta: looks like it's on YouTube in parts. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Pacific Rim is a rip off of Big O, which is a rip off of some earlier cartoon I'm sure

The more I think about it, the more I hope a live action movie never green lights.
If anything I'd rather have an AMC or even HBO live action series. A movie would be so brutalized to get the epic story in one 1.5/2 hour stretch of time. A series done right would be successful and really, they wouldn't have to get too many writers involved if they followed the original series and added Sentinels - plus (where writers come into play in force). That is at least 6 seasons, if they break each original saga into two seasons.... |

Crossover? Why?!
Honestly. Maybe more youth adored Voltron than ROBOTECH, but you don't see Voltron forums, etc... or maybe there are, I wouldn't know. It would seem that Voltron fans would accept and be drawn to a deeper story of ROBOTECH if it was presented. |
