Lestat Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 I was cruising through the trailers over on quicktime.com, when I loaded up this one: Stealth Trailer I found not only the 'stealth' fighters to look inspired by macross, but also the concept is a total rip of Macross Plus: New AI fighter is being tested to phase out pilots, something goes wrong, it gains sentience, and decides to wreak havoc... Sounds familliar right? The fighters also appear to have macross-style heatshields... Check it out. btw, not sure if this has already been posted. If not, my bad.
promethuem5 Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 Hahahahahahahaha..... psst.... use the Search function first.... there are already a bazillion Stealth topics....

It's worth noting that the Macross Plus planes are themselves inspired by real designs(and has paralleled real-world development in some respects, to the degree that Kawamori jokingly accused the developers of the Su-47 of ripping off the YF-19). And that the Pentagon IS trying to develop AI drones. Besides which, homicidal military robots are nothing new. Ever seen Terminator? Of course, when your next-gen fighter test with similar plane designs runs into your homicidal AI drone, it certainly does raise a few warning flags. While the odds are good Stealth is just an "Americanized Macross Plus"(I don't give Hollywood that much credit), there IS a possibility of parallel development, at least of some elements.
GreatMoose Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 Oh, for pete's sake. Is this the 23rd thread on this or what?
Anubis Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 At this point there should really be a pinned Stealth thread. This is getting pretty funny. I have no plans on seeing the movie in the theater either. I might rent it, but we'll see.
Duke Togo Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 Everyone who starts a Stealth thread should get some sort of insulting custom member title, so we all know how much of a moron they are.
Lynx7725 Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 Oh, for pete's sake. Is this the 23rd thread on this or what? 24th, I think.
kanedaestes Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 well even though this is the umpteenth thread i feel i may say something, i doubt that this has anything to do with macross plus, but u never know, hype williams took the scene from kite and used it for no doubt's exgirlfriend video, but at least he admitted to it.
mikeszekely Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 In before the lock! I think the movie would have been better off if the unmanned fighters would have been real-world fighters.

This particularly crappy looking movie--and it's not so subtle similarities to Mac Plus--has come up quite a few times; so much so in fact, it incurs the wrath and profanities of many a MW member...

THat's the problem with you MW-ers troll-hunters. Can't we all get along? PS: I'm not Mgrexx whatshisname in disguise. Really.
Fort Max Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 I saw the trailer and while it does look a lot like Macroos plus without robotsI was reminded more of Short Circuit by the plot. This left me thinking that it's nothing more the Johnny Five with wings, missiles and a serious distaste for life...
JKeats Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 How is Stealth a rip-off of M+? This is new to me.H Oh no you didn't!
mikeszekely Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 How is Stealth a rip-off of M+? This is new to me.H Human pilots argue against being replaced by AI fighters. AI turns on creators. Human pilots take down AI fighter. People "see the light" and opt for human-piloted fighters again. Something like that. There have been other comparisons, like how the AI's "eye" looks like Sharon Apple's, how the human fighters have similarities to the YF-19, etc.
EXO Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 What? There's a movie called Stealth that resembles Mac +??? Someone should start a thread? How come there's no thread... Hulloh!!! This is Macrossworld worthy news!!!
Opus Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 I think Mac+ is a ripoff of 2001: a Space Oddessey so stealth is a rip of a rip.

I thought you were being serious! Now next time, you'll be asking something you honestly don't know, and I'll be all like, "Ha ha! That Hurin! He's trying to get me again!"
