Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross.

[cantsayidont]

October 1988. Comico adapted ROBOTECH into comics form on a one-episode-per-issue basis, but Episode 37, "Dana's Story," got lengthier treatment in this 42-page special. "Dana's Story" is the only "new" episode of the original ROBOTECH series; it's essentially a clip show, constructed by editing together footage from SUPER DIMENSION FORTRESS MACROSS and SUPER DIMENSION CAVALRY SOUTHERN CROSS to support the assertion that the blond heroine of SOUTHERN CROSS, Dana Sterling (called Jeanne Françaix in the original show), is the half-Zentraedi daughter of MACROSS costars Max and Miriya (called Komilia Maria in MACROSS). For the comics adaptation, Markalan Joplin also incorporates some elements from the Jack McKinney novels and the ROBOTECH graphic novel Comico had published two years earlier.

Making Dana the daughter of Max and Miriya created a stronger link between the two segments of the American series, and also became part of the chronological spine of the series: The present-day sequences of "Dana's Story" have Dana and her friend Bowie Grant graduating from the military academy on the 15th anniversary of Khyron's final assault on the SDF-1, making Dana 16 or 17 years old. Since ROBOTECH: THE MACROSS SAGA takes place over a somewhat longer period than the equivalent events in the Japanese MACROSS series, ending in early 2014, that means SOUTHERN CROSS begins in 2029. For a long time, this was about the only point about the chronology of the series that anyone agreed on, although the official timeline now says the ROBOTECH MASTERS period ends in mid-2030, not quite 18 months later.

I feel like a future Robotech movie would do well to show the last stand of the Southern Cross.

Maybe a "Bolivian Army Ending" where we see the 15th Sqaudron survivors band together to face the approaching Invid so soldier and civilians alike can hook up with the REF. Maybe with the old Arming Doublets and VT Sparta Hovertanks.

We know Dana and Louis survive but leave Angelo, Sean, Bowie and Marie's fate as ambigious.

I had a fucking fantastic time at this show!

Go to YouTube and watch Hanging with Dr Z. Link for Season 1 Episode 1 HERE 🦧✨❤️

Dr. Z is portrayed by the incredibly funny comedian and Planet of the Apes junkie @danagould and the guests were Mindy Sterling (Frau Farbissina from Austin Powers and Linda Schwartz in The Goldbergs), Janet Varney (SF Sketchfest co-creator & Sheriff Evie from "Stan Against Evil"), Dave Foley (Kids in the Hall member and UFO/UAP enthusiast that I spoke to 🤯), and a Puddles Pity Party surprise. Music by Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine... and Rusty Steele showed up too.

L.A. is a magical place.

Dana or Jeanne?!?

How I think Robotech should cap off?

Personally, the finale should be a sort of homage to Phantasm with the SDF-3 caught in a mind bending sort of black hole. It could be that the Protoculture left on the SDF-3 was affected by the cosmic event and put the crew into this dream state taking on a life of its own.

As shown with Dana, even the Flower of Life can induce a sort of hallucination.

In fact... I'd be more on brand with Robotech by adapting "SDF Macross: Do You Remember Love?" as the dream sequence for the Macross character , pissing off very protective Macross fans one last time.

Mind you, I'd have a proper release and dub for DYRL put out first.

Scott's group would try to help enter the dream world while the Haydonites are fended off, finding themselves on the SDF-1 they've heard stories about in original scenes interacting with Do You Remember Love? While the digital animation interacting with the old school cell animation would be jarring, this would add to the not-too-stable state of the dream and how the characters from Southern Cross as well as Mospeada aren’t really mean to be there.

The dream becomes destabilized when Roy dies, reminding Rick and others what really happened. Soon Ben dies, Max falls for Miriya and Lisa remembers her love for Rick. Additionally, certain voice actors who either died or retired are recasted (with some VAs from the ADV dub of Macross like Monica Rial playing Lisa Hayes).

Minmei would secretly be the stronger mind trying to give everybody what she thinks they want but what she really wants: an escape from reality. It would be an extension of her downer ending of a story arc from the Macross Saga. The Protoculture feeds off her desires for better days before the Zentraedi Holocaust or what she went through in “Prelude To The Shadow Chronicles.”

However, everyone finds each other and realizes the ruse. Dana and survivors of the Southern Cross were exposed to the Flower of Life’s spores, giving them some chance of navigating the dream space.

This leads to Minmei’s space concert where she rallies everyone against the dream's defenses, represented by the Zentraedi and the Meltaedi. The song? An English localization of “Do You Remember Love?” as a tribute to the original Macross.

Minmei, at the center of it all, has to learn to sing and let everybody trapped fight their way out. I'd be a good way of her truly moving forward after The Sentinals pilot showed that her feelings for Rick hadn't truly gone away.

Meta wise: it could be how the main storyline has been long overdue for some closure. Even one about nostalgia and how denying the here and now only feeds into higher powers who wish to oppress you.

It would end on the concert she performs in Macross Flashback 2012, this time with shots of surviving characters from each saga. Maybe have Bowie on piano with Lancer on base.

Right... feel free to tear me apart for suggesting such an affront to a classic Anime movie.

...

It’d be better than “Love, Live, Alive.”

the way teenage bounty hunters DESERVED a second season. like what a tightly written, quippy, funny little show with so much heart. there’s so much good going on in it but things I particularly love:

Twin themes!! There’s so much good foreshadowing surrounding the big reveal (iykyk) and there’s also so much DOUBLING. Double lives especially is a big theme. Like, Debbie hiding Dana; sterling and Blair hiding their bounty hunting; the (functional) froyo shop being bowser’s bounty hunting lair; Terrance the lone wolf bounty hunter and bowser with his little “teen white savior” teammates; Yolanda’s sister who is a perfect foil for her; miles hiding Blair from his family; sterling hiding april from Blair…and then april hiding sterling period.

And I guess the doubling is kind of showing like, here are all the possibilities and here’s what happens when we let love in and here’s what happens when we shut it out

so much good stuff about being from the American south. As someone who grew up in the south and who grew up visiting close family in Atlanta…it is cool as fuck the way the south is portrayed in all of its complexity. The show does not shy away from issues of race, religion, SES, etc SPECFICALLY in Atlanta and manages to do it in a way that doesn’t come across as heavy handed. This show could ONLY be set in the south—it would be a fundamentally different show in any other setting

Also, like I said with the doubling points above, this show is full of secrets and secret keeping!!! But yet a fundamental point of the show is that being silenced is one of the worst things that can happen to a human being. There’s a scene where Blair is telling sterling that her dad yelled at her and that the worst part of all is that he told her to Be Quiet! And like in some ways that scene highlights what a loving household Blair has grown up in that the one of the worst things her Dad has ever said to her is be quiet (not even shut up)…but it really made me be like wow being told to stop questioning and be quiet IS something terrible. It’s a denial and a violation of our right to use our voices

and like it’s not a coincidence that in the final ep Dana gags sterling. Because the way sterling is talking to her is powerful and you can tell it is making her hesitate and question her whole life

so yeah anyway watch teenage bounty hunters! Or if you haven’t in a while, it’s definitely worth a rewatch
