Robotech/Trivia

• Author Existence Failure: Carl Macek passed away from a heart attack on April 18th, 2010.
• Development Hell: Robotech is one of the longest film development projects even to be stuck in the 7th circle of development hell. Many screenwriters, directors, and leading actors have been rumored to be connected to the project—but no live action films have been released.

The main problem is the red tape, particularly copyright. Some fans of the three anime from which Robotech was stitched together object to the project on principle. Being a patchwork also causes problems with internal logic.

• Executive Meddling: The plot of the Robotech movie was once going to be vastly different, but had to be changed drastically once the creators of Macross realized this movie could somehow interfere with their profits from Do You Remember Love? Somehow.
  • The movie was pulled because it was successful with adults but not for the children demographic which Canon wanted.
• No Export for You: Harmony Gold's the reason why all Macross stuff aside from Macross Plus haven't been released in the US.
• The Wiki Rule: The Robotech Saga Wiki
