![]() Just a brief apocalypse and maybe some celebratory drinks after. The Haydonites and the Robotech Masters both canonically rolled up with a fleet, turned the Invid's planet into a parking lot, and left without facing much (if any) opposition.īasically, like episode 27 of Macross/the Macross Saga, but without the Grand Cannon or counterattacking fleet. Zentradi storyline were never to be revisited. That, combined with some lingering copyright issues due to serial infringement by 90's licensees, are why ideas from old comics like an Invid v. the New Generation and Masters Saga) and the stuff that can't be used (e.g. Prelude and Shadow Chronicles were a kick in the arse intended to get the franchise moving again and make a clean break with the stuff that doesn't sell (e.g. your fanbase are fractious arseholes who'll complain endlessly about it anyway for failing to live up to their rose-tinted or completely false memories from their youth. what the vocal minority in your fanbase wants isn't marketable, even to the rest of the fanbase. what your fanbase wants isn't marketable outside your fanbase, meaning it has zero chance of growing your brand. you'd get sued into oblivion for infringement of copyright. your franchise is a long-dead industry joke that wouldn't have been able to afford it at any point in its history, never mind now. No, it's what you do when you know exactly what your fans want but can't give it to them because. What you describe sounds like what you do when you either have no inkling of WHY your fans are fans in the first place, or you just don't give a damn (see wokeism). ![]() I'd say it's cursed, but there are cursed properties that don't have it that hard. Oh, that's just Tuesday to the Robotech fandom. which would've been the rule for the entire franchise had the "movie" not bombed. They did everything they could to ensure there would be no reminiscing about previous sagas from that point forward. So they removed all the non- MOSPEADA human mecha, banned using the Sentinels knockoff Macross designs, killed off all the remaining Zentradi in the setting, killed off the Invid Regent's forces so the Invid would be gone from the universe too at the start of the Shadow Chronicles proper, chucked the last couple Bioroids on the Zentradi's funeral pyre, put the remaining Macross Saga cast on a bus except for Admiral Plot Critical, and gave one last hurrah to the Sentinels original characters before dumping them for suspiciously similar replacements. Prelude was Harmony Gold's effort to clean house and gently usher everyone and everything that was either too expensive, legally problematic, or just wildly unpopular out of the franchise for good so they could focus on their MOSPEADA-based ripoff of the Battlestar Galactica reboot. ![]() ![]() The closest bioroids fighting invids are the Robotech: Prelude to the Shadow Chronicles comics. Swell guys, as it turned out, shame they fell afoul of Harmony Gold's attempts to create a fan film section on the old site with the same draconian submission guidelines as the fan art and fan fiction sections.ĭarn I didn't know it was such a mess and conflict in this. when the fan film group behind the project reached out to me to let me know what that particular crazy person had been saying and assure me they didn't believe a word of it. Ironically, I only learned about the project because of that. He tried to convince them I'd forged the legal papers they received demanding a halt to the project, and when they didn't buy that, that I'd somehow influenced Harmony Gold to kill the project because I'm just such an evil guy, y'know? He even tried to persuade them to file a lawsuit against me. I ended up with a front row seat to that one because one very stupid Robotech fan tried to shift the blame for the cease-and-desist to me personally. (Oddly, they even went after non- Robotech fan works on those DeviantArt pages. but the fan group working on it only got as far as producing one very basic teaser trailer to promote their project before Harmony Gold slapped them with a cease-and-desist order and then filed DMCA notices against all of the group's DeviantArt pages.
