>inb4 it's Robotech it's gonna be shit
I don't know, I never watched a single episode of Robotech, but I watched all of SDF Macross and I'm at ep. 13 of MOSPEADA, and I enjoy both of them immensely. Since we're not gonna see any Macross material or even mechs due to the legal clusterfuck surrounding the legal rights, that means we're left with Southern Cross and MOSPEADA, and not a lot of people care about Southern Cross. So that means they're surely gonna get some MOSPEADA material on the big screen, and that's pretty fucking close to Macross, at least mech-wise.

I think so, otherwise they wouldn't be making low-quality bait threads. I've never seen a single Robotech episode but this strange mish-mash of 3 unrelated anime with its own side material always fascinated me. I'm actually watching Macross, Mospeada and Southern Cross before watching Robotech just to see if it's as shitty as /m/ says.

That's pretty bad but that doesn't warrant its reputation as one of the worst anime adaptation of all time.

Yep, from what I heard it was pretty much a straight SDF Macross dub with edited content (due to nudity, violence or alcohol), Global and the bridge crew dies and they started fucking shit up when they decided that Protoculture was an energy source. Then they tried to connect ot with SC and MOSPEADA and shit hits the fan.
>haven't watched the other parts in almost 30 years
Again, from what I've heard, Southern Cross was the most heavily changed of the 3 shows, but it wasn't very good to begin with, and MOSPEADA wasn't changed that much.

I agree, and it's disappointing that so many "fans" shit on Carl Macek. Macross would be unknown in the West without him.

>>14058900
>they started fucking shit up when they decided that Protoculture was an energy sourc
They only changed the meaning of that one word. All references to the Protoculture, the race that created the Zentradi, are still there in Robotech but they call the "The Masters" instead. It's just a name-swap, not a re-imagining. While the narrator *added* a bunch of fluff about the setting, everthing that was there in the form of on-screen events and character dialogue from SDFM is still there in Robotech except for the things that absolutely had to be censored because of the Bureau Of Standards And Practices (suicidal thoughts, hangovers, having to pee, etc...). Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.

And no, before anyone asks, I don't think the RT version is better than the original version. I think the differences are drastically exaggerated by people who didn't watch Robotech. I do like Southern Cross and MOSPEADA more than the actual Macross sequels but in both cases I prefer the original versions, I just don't hate the dub like most of /m/.

> it's disappointing that so many "fans" shit on Carl Macek
Well, it's kinda hard to see what was his fault and what wasn't in the sea of dicksucking articles and rage-fueled rants you can see about him on the internet, but I think he deserves some recognition for importing some anime when it wasn't extremely common, and airing it while was arguably darker and more mature that your average Saturday-morning cartoon in 1985. Also, the combination of 3 unrelated shows wasn't entirely his fault, due to SDF being 36 eps. long while you needed at leat 65 to be allowed to put it on air.
On the other hand, the legal troubles HG got involved in are unforgivable since it keeps everything not SDF Macross from being aired outside of Japan and a few countries, and they ran the franchise into the ground not even two years after Robotech ended. And they've been fucking with the fans ever since.

>Macross would be unknown in the West without him

You're wrong dude, but he helped popularizing Macross in the West . Everybody who has decent internet can download a fuckton of anime, even obscure ones, and Macross is a big franchise in Japan, so it was just a question of time before it became well-known in the West, but Robotech surely helped a lot.

Sorry for the lengthy rant.
>>
>>14058951

It'd be on the level of most anime at the worst. I'm in the West and didn't even know about Robotech or Macross till I was in my 20s, have never seen the Robotech series and don't care about Macek but still love Macross. He didn't do squat and I'm not required to eulogize him just because Macross is bigger than the average anime in the West (probably).

You're right, it would be known eventually, but a long time after it's release. A lot of fans my age were aware of anime in the early 90s because of robotech. The fandom would have been really different back then.

In USA maybe. By the early 90's Europe already had been extensivley expised to anime since the early 80s with stuff like Grendizer, Mazinger Z, Captain Harlock, Saint Seiya, the atrocious dubs of DB and Hokuto No Ken and more obcure stuff like Akurobanshi.

No he's not. A lot of the charm from these older shows comes from the nostalgia.

Macross wasn't exactly brilliant story telling itself either but people love it because they grew up with it.

Frankly put anyone who makes a big deal about the whole thing is just some stupid kid trying to sound hardcore on an image board.
>>
>>14059183

Not really. SDF is one of my favorite shows (definitely the high point of the franchise) and I didn't see it until a few years ago, well in to my 20s. I'm not claiming to be the average fan, but people can and do love it outside nostalgia.

It's wrong tho. I finished watching it for the forst time a month ago and it was genuinely great.

Uh no. It would just be discovered later like every other fucking old anime that never got localized

I literally watched SDF 3 months ago and I liked it

I didn't really love it though (I did love DYRL, that was a masterpiece)

A show that isn't brilliant story telling but people love it because they grew up with it would be something like Dragon Ball or Saint Seiya

>You're right, it would be known eventually, but a long time after it's release.

I think you mean it would get an official release long after its debut (if the copyright situation didn't happen, of course). There were a lot of people who would hunt and fansub anime in the 80s and 90s, and although Robotech was big and loud for its time, it really didn't change a whole lot as far as the anime industry was concerned; After two years on the air, it was taken off, had its third wave toyline and TV sequel cancelled, and it disappeared in the late 80s and never showed its face again except for video cassette releases here and there like any other anime that was to be marketed in the US. No new TV standards were set to have more anime localized in the states, and everything went right back to Saturday Morning cartoons. Anime throughout the late 80s and early 90s continued to be a strictly indie market where people wouldn't know any releases were coming unless they actually looked for it. Hell, to HG's credit, they did try to bring the original shows on video cassette, but they pulled back and cancelled it after they weren't making enough sales on the initial releases, so everyone still had to hunt down the original shows themselves until they cracked a deal with ADV to get DVD releases out in the early 2000s.

Plus, even in the years where Robotech had momentum, there were even people working with Harmony Gold that were aware of anime even as Macross was (for the most part) being localized. One guy literally inserted Kamile and Char in a dining scene with the rogue Zentraedi and the bridge bunnies, and this was in a Comico comic way back in 1986 before Zeta, or Gundam for that matter, even made it stateside at all.

>Honestly surprised the movie is actually heading somewhere.

It really isn't, though. They're still beating around the bush with those 300 producrers and that one guy who wrote for that GI Joe movie to get a script off the ground. Meanwhile, Wan has already signed up for projects that have already been officially greenlit and in the process of production all the way up to 2018, especially with Aquaman and Mortal Kombat.

There's also the fact that there isn't a single available source, not even Sony's website, where Robotech is anywhere on the company's list of upcoming projects, not even on a TBA category. Same goes for Wan who, judging by this video, acts like he's been hired for a job interview and has been put on hold for the past half a year, not having a clue when/if he's going to be able to tackle the thing. It also sounds like he doesn't know jack shit about the legal situation with Robotech and Macross since he's calling the Macross Saga out as a 'must' to adapt into the movie project. If the shady production issues don't scare him off, not being able to incorporate Macross probably will.

It feels a bit weird to think that there are genuine Robotech fans out there. I mean, sure, like everyone else, I watched Robotech as a kid in the early 90s and loved it, but I thought it was an American cartoon and didn't even know Macross was a thing. I figured most people have either completely forgotten all about it since it's just another cartoon from their childhood, or dug around the internet a bit more, found out about Macross, watched it and started liking it more. It's hard to believe that there are actual Robotech fans out there in the current year who know about Macross and all that but still think Robotech is better.

HG can't make or release a Robotech/Macross film, they don't have the IP right to the characters or mecha.

Same with the movie DYRL. They only have merchandising rights for DYRL, not the IP or distribution rights.

They only have distribution and merchandising rights for the Robotech series.

The did, somehow, acquire the copyright to the name "Macross" but that still won't give them the right to make new films.

The only new anime they were able to make was based off the last Robotech series, The next Generation (Mospeada) but that didn't use any characters from the MacrosS Saga (which they can't use anyway).

So any Robotech movie made will not be able to use the names or deisigns of existing characters or mecha.

In the end, it will wind up being like the Transformers. It won't resemble anything from the series.
>>
>>14063024
They can't even adapt Mospeada material for the movie ?!
>>
>>14065310
>They can't even adapt Mospeada material for the movie ?!


They can, but won't. Because the few Robotech fans that exist to this day love one and one thing only : the Macross Saga part of Robotech. Literally the only part Harmony Gold cannot adapt to the silver screen. Karma is a bitch.
Almost all Robotech fans don't give a shit about Mospeada or Southern Cross/Masters/Sentinels. They want Rick Hunter and Lisa Hayse. I.e. Macross.
>>
>>14063024
>The next Generation (Mospeada) but that didn't use any characters from the MacrosS Saga (which they can't use anyway).
They can use characters from Macross Saga, they just can't look anything like themselves. Rick Hunter was in Shadow Chronicles even if his role was minor.
>>
At least Robotech novels were pretty decent.
>>
>>14065340
>>14065373
So how can we fix it ? Here's my idea:
>Include the Legioss in the movie, it's basically a Valkyrie with more missiles and call it a Veritech Fighter, add Mospeadas to sell more toys
>Call the hero Rick Hunter, but make him look like Ray
>Replace Stikk Bernard by Roy Focker
>Pretend the Invid war machines are an evolution of the Zentraedi Regults
>Make Yellow Belmont fill Minmay's role and make him a real girl
>Don't include Kaifun. At all.
>Earth attacked by Zentraedis
>First half of the movie is on Earth, where they find the SDF-1 (don't mention it's the Macross)
>Make it look like a mix between the original Macross and a Star Destroyer
>Blow shit up with MOSPEADAs
>Humans go to space to escape the Invid/Zentraedis/whatever the fuck I came up with
>Giger-esque designs for their spaceships
>Fucking awesome space battle with Legiosses
>I don't fucking know about the end of the movie
I know sounds like a kid making stories with his action figures and it probably sucks but that's the only things I can think of without butchering the license too much. Too much being the keyword.

The old 1980s eraly 1990s Robotech novels were decent. The new ones basically retconned a bunch of shit and have become as stupid as all the things Yune has done in the last decade.

I saw one that was an adaptation of the show, and they actually drew the SDF2 with the SDF1 so it made any goddamn sense compared to the show.

There was a black and white one where Roy gets a bunch of stupid questions like "What's the difference between a Veritech and a Valkyrie?" and "Could a Veritech beat Grendizer?"
>>
>>14066348
I wasn't trying to polish a turd anon, I just trying to write a half-decent plot for a Macross adaptation disguised in Mospeada adaptation so Sony doesn't get fucked over legal clusterfucks and then slap the Robotech name to get the nostalgiafags' money. This way, we have the closest thing we could (in the West) have to a Macross adaptation and new Mospeada material.

>Make Yellow Belmont fill Minmay's role and make him a "real girl" until proven otherwise later on.

Fixed. To hell with all these cutesy female song idols. The new frontier begins here!

And most of what you said isn't bad. I do disagree on the notion of "butchering of the license" since what's left of it is really all Southern Cross/Mospeada anyway, and if the already beyond-retarded fanbase can't cope with that its their problem, and also HG's for not telling the truth early on. Macross needs to be cut out of the equation, period. No way around it. As of right now, Robotech is everything BUT Macross.

That said, there doesn't need to be any references to Zentraedi at all, not even in spirit. Ultimate antagonists need to be Invid, Masters, or Haydonites (or even those weird-ass asteroid dwelling mist creatures that came and went in the Sentinels comics). There definitely needs to be an enormous one-of-a-kind alien battle-cruiser like the SDF-1: Don't make it transform at all, though. Make it resemble the Sentinels version of SDF-2 (since HG can actually use that) with humanistic shit added to it later: A unique mold of human and alien technology that is biorganic with self-healing hull, almost-sentient experimental AI computer (hello future Janice), and intense weapons of mass-destruction (particularly the super-cannon on the bow).

There are some pretty limitless possibilities on how they can meld this and everything else that is bonafide Robotech material, if HG is willing to try without weaseling Macross in out of desperation. Likely whatever they come up with will be a huge mess since they're running around like a decapitated chicken about what this whole thing is going to look and feel like.

>>14067722
Now that I think back on it, they really aren't the ones writing the script anyway. They're pretty much consultants on what's allowed and what isn't. Though, considering the Yune brothers love to get into people's business on anything Robotech (Tommy especially loves to cockblock people and steal their ideas), I'm sure they'll leave their own personal stain of illogical chunk of stupid on the story.

>>14067743
Harmony Gold's marketing manager, Kevin Mckeever, revealed at a convention that Sony has the right to release the film worldwide except in Japan. Even they know to stay as far away from Macross as possible. Though, like Warner Bros, I'm pretty sure they're having second thoughts about working on this project now. For something they're calling their "marvel universe" movie series, they don't seem to give two fucks about it as there isn't any type of release date or any mention that its on their work schedule. Even Wan doesn't know anything about when he'll be able to work on it, and interesting enough, Sony has completely gone dark, and the only word we get from them is HG's say-so.
>>
>>14068034
That's probably because like others have pointed out, Robotech is popular because of the Macross saga. Sony probably agreed to make the movies under the belief that HG actually had the rights to the Macross franchise. It probably came as a surprise to them to find out that they cannot use the only profitable and well known part of the franchise, so they're shying away from the deal.

I watched PR back in the 00's during grade school and thought it was fun, but even I wondered why I was watching an American rendition of a Japanese concept.

Wait...why DOES only one of them have hands?

That's precisely where I was getting at. Like with Warner Bros., you don't just suddenly come out to the media with large plans of making this your star attraction of franchises and start throwing around big names, only to suddenly fall completely silent, everyone who was being contacted for the movie vanishes with writers quitting left and right, and all that's left is HG and crew struggling to convince everyone that this is still very much happening.

Harmony Gold spent all those conventions stroking their dicks to Macross while trying to spread awareness about the film, and wow what a surprise, loads of their fans still believe they're going to see valkyries, giant aliens, and spot-on representations Hikaru and Misa, along with movie companies unwittingly wandering into a mine-field of legal clusterfuck.

>Nobody should believe anything that fat turd says.

True, the guy is one of the worst of shifty-eyed PR shills, but even though he likes to hide behind tons of exaggerations and half-truths, there has to be some grain of truth into the stuff he says. He knows full well that he can't just go around spewing lies left and right, especially since he's having to talk about Sony (they can sue the shit out of him for that).

On the few occasions that he does lie, he's always quick to swap a previous statement he made at one panel session with something else at another. Case in point, when the Macross blu-rays were making noise all over Ebay and Amazon, some Robotech fans began questioning him and Harmony Gold about possible HD remastering of the entire Robotech series. When first asked this, he made this really bizarre statement that the copies they have of Robotech are in 16mm film and that remastering it could only "theoretically" be done and HG is just waiting for the technology to improve....Then stated later that it CAN be done, just that it was too much money. You can tell Frank Argama chews his ass for that shit.

Not really Sony's fault though, since many people don't know that HG actually don't own the rights to Macross especially since HG likes to act as though they do. All did was Sony back out of a skeevy deal, which worse case scenario would have resulted in them getting sued, because if the movie became profitable the companies owning the rights would have a reason to sue Sony and they'd win because HG never hear the rights to Macross to begin with nor do they have any basis for it.

That's more HG's fault, since they're the ones approaching these movie companies with a pitch for an idea that they already know that they don't own the rights to.

They're also the ones who also go around lying to the fans about the state of affairs rather than and getting their hopes up. And Robotechfags are stupid enough to believe them.

Are nerds still pissed about an all female Ghostbuster team?

>>14071799

No idea, not a Ghostbuster's fan. The international trailer looks decent though. I don't like that they're apparently just ignoring the existence of the first film and in some way's redoing it, but I'll probably check it out.

I don't see what so wrong. That way they aren't "ruin" anything if its non-canon to the previous films.
>>
>>14071814

I don't care if it does, I'm just annoyed that it's not building it's story and cast's motives on those of the past. I like legacy stories.

I liked Robotech's Southern Cross arc. And Robotech as a whole, when watched in a few marathon sessions, makes sense and is pretty good considering the time period. I mean, Mospaeda was no masterpiece.

I thought they were pissed because Haig is a shit awful hack.
Have you even watched the trailer?

None of the chemistry the first GB team had, extremely stereotypical writing (sassy fat black lady who literally does some southern baptist PRAISEEEE JEEBUS shit, don't even mention the "Its a cadillac!" line), dated references (is this an Usher concert?"), awful electronic remix of the Ghostbuster theme and finally forcing Bill Murray to appear in the movie with threats of legal action. There's more, but I don't want to watch that shit again

>>14072190
I know this is a Robotech thread and all but it's easy to tell that you have horrible trash taste just by having asked that so please get a trip so i can filter you'

How about instead you grow up and stop being a little bitch because someone might like things you don't like.

The humor looks like Scary Movie 6. There's none of the dry wit that basically defines Ghostbusters, instead there's a scene where the black lady literally does the "the power of Christ compels you!" shtick while slapping someone. It's the sort of movie where you know they're going to have a scene where they're suiting up for the first time and the fat one has trouble with the zipper because dohoho she's fat.

The visuals are there, but the comedy looks like it's out of an early-2000s Owen Wilson comedy, not Ghostbusters.

For some reason, this thread still looks like the April Fools format for me.

Is he actually in the movie? Cause all that says is that they were considering it if he wouldn't agree. Which is scummy, but not indicting of actual legal action against him on it's own.

Christ it feels like I've been reading news on the live action Akira's production being thrown around multiple people over ten years now.
