#Macross Do You Remember Love?

[matt0044]

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.”

I just finished watching Macross: Do you remember love? And it was one of bestest experiences I've had and I just can't comprehend why. It wasn't a mechas movie with romance. It was a romance movie with space and sci-fi as settings and I have no idea why but it made me feel so good.

The idea of love being forgotten and then rediscovered and defended is such a sad and beautiful idea.

Also every character was beautiful, that's another thing that got me. I fell in love every 20 seconds.

You are one of my favourites here on tumblr in terms of AC content and since I've been playing AC2 and read the entirety of the Ratatouille AU, all I can imagine are the shenanigans going on with Desmond and Ezio and by extension, myself bc I was whistling the Benny Hill theme while I was trying to chase down Carlo Grimaldi just to assassinate him and the guards are after my ass like 😭😭😭 like Desmond is internally going 'why tf is this deity whistling the fucking Benny Hill theme???' And Ezio is wondering why Desmond is just '???' And he's trying to get some answers from Desmond LMFAO

The Ratatouille AU where the ancestors can hear Desmond with part 2 here while ‘playing’ and its more unhinged cousin, the Ratatouille AU where Desmond can hear us. 

Thank you! It always makes me happy reading that from you guys ^///^.

But this does beg the question… just how much can Desmond here from our side?

Like, can he hear the songs we play while we play? Can he hear any background noises that the controller or the mic picks up? (That would include podcasts and any videos playing. I would probably have to say sorry for making him listen to Master Chief and not seeing whatever the hell kind of drama was happening while we were doing sidequests XD)

This does mean one important thing though.

If it’s music that we keep singing, Desmond would sooner or later start singing it with us, especially if it’s a song that he knows.

And if Ezio keeps hearing it…

The one time that Ezio pretends to be a minstrel in Constantinople…

His song selection might become more… eclectic.

Some Macross screenshots because this movie's visuals are insane.

I don't know if I already posted this because tumblr's search function doesn't work.

Hikaru and Minmay get burgers at "Humburger PoPo" in Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? (1984)

There's also a banner ad for McDonald's briefly on screen at the start of the movie.
