First A BIG THANK YOU for making the Robotech 25th Anniversary Character Clash Tournament a huge success in its first round. This is definitely going to be a truly memorable event. A WORLDWIDE CELEBRATION and anyone that wants to have fun is more than invited! You can get your last minute ROUND 1 votes in before June 25th 11:59 PM!
The "favorites"are making themselves known....but will it be a "CINDERELLA" that makes it to the final match........well that's for YOU to decide!
Also a few nuggets to talk about......
But on to the show.......lol!
Our subject for today is another one of those complex characters that Robotech gives us....and that is the melodious, beautiful but tortured LYNN MINMEI.
When it comes to the Expanded Universe............whoa.
Her journey in the Sentinels by all rights should kill her..... and I mean literally. But somehow she survives. It can be said....it was meant for her to make it through despite the bruised heart (and face). You see there's a reason to the madness she is submitted to on Tirol.
Without her.......you can't have Robotech.............that simple, simple as that.
Yes.....refer to End of the Circle....lol!
I actually find myself feeling sympathy for her. She is forced to grow up quickly but has to learn about life....and love THE HARD WAY.
Again and again and again.......
But remember, in End of the Circle.....ALL THINGS DO RESOLVE THEMSELVES......and even after 15 years of reading it again and again.....I'm still scratching my head when it comes to Minmei's ultimate role in the Robotech Universe.
Talk about the mother..........
Thank you Carl, Brian and James.......AWESOME JOB!
Love her or hate her.....Lynn Minmei does get you to react! That's the power of the Robotech characters!
In addition, as what's become a mainstay on the AnniversaryCasts...we go over the results of our last batch of poll questions and for the FIRST TIME, we have a tie on one of the questions.....the power of the votes, I LOVE IT!!
And we can't finish one batch without bringing to you a new group of poll questions to sink your teeth into!
And remember, thees polls are not scientific, they don't prove anything nor do they expound on any Robotech "gospel"......they're just polls....have fun with them!
This Saturday, we will have our first results show for Round 1 of the tournament along with the Round 2 matchups! You guys know my favorite is Roy Fokker......but I have my eye on *************** to possibly making all the way to the finals!
Who's your favorite?......Who will you get your friends to vote for?......
WHO WILL BE THE ONE?
In the end....the fans decide!
IT'S ANNIVERSARY TIME BABY!!!!!!!!!
REVIVE FOR 25....'CAUSE IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE!!!!
The party continues......
Seeya Saturday!
