Deigo Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 I like Macross 7. Too bad the story never told us who wins Mylene in the end. I personally would want Mylene to pick Gamlin. However, she only 'shines the brightest when Basara is here'. No wonder Gamlin is jealous of Basara. Did the last episode of dynamite imply that Mylene had made up her mind and chosen Basara? Poor Gamlin, maybe that's why he was given a VF-22 to satisfy the rest of the fans out there. Quote
eight_car Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 I would like her to pick that chick in Mac7 Miss Dynamite! J/K Really would like her to pick Basara, Gamlin is a stick in the mud that should've stayed dead. Quote
SpacyAce2012 Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 I voted for Gamlin K. Reasons for my vote? 1- Gamlin is the closest thing to the "clean-cut hero" type seen in Macross. 2- Gamlin has actual feelings of love for Mylene Flare Jenius. At best, Basara Nekki sees her as a kid sister, kindred spirit, and/or an apprentice. At worst, a close friend and fellow musician. 3- Gamlin is stable and responsible. 4- Gamlin is loyal and has a great deal of courage. He is a down-to-earth kind of guy. Modest and honest to a fault. Honorable in the extreme. 5- Gamlin is willing to risk his own life to protect his friends,comrades, and (above all) the girl he loves. Gamlin matured as a character over the course of the series. His relationship with Mylene has also made him less of a "stuffed shirt". He loosens up a great deal by the end of the show. He also becomes more open minded,as well. His instincts as a leader and this new found open mindedness allows him to see the validity (and value) in what Basara was attempting to do. Also, Basara is searching for something. He's too much of a wanderer and free spirit to ever settle down. Mylene would be better off with someone who won't just pick up and wander off on a whim. I believed that Mylene loved Gamlin in M7. The problem was her teenage crush on Basara. Quote
Deigo Posted December 31, 2006 Author Posted December 31, 2006 (edited) SpacyAce2012, well said. I also like how Gamlin progressed in the series even though he's not the main character. Edited December 31, 2006 by Deigo Quote
jenius Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 I went with Gamlin. Let's face, Basara is clearly gay. Turn down Rex? Oh no, no straight man is capable. Quote
Keith Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Mylene was clearly going to end up with Gamlin. No woman but Sivil was ever able to move Basara. Quote
EXO Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Mylene was clearly going to end up with Gamlin. No woman but Sivil was ever able to move Basara. I'm pretty sure he was moved by Emilia. Quote
JB0 Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 I'm pretty sure he was moved by Emilia. Yeah, but there were some physical issues with that relationship. If you can use her bra as a bathtub, they're a bit too big. Quote
EXO Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Yeah, but there were some physical issues with that relationship. If you can use her bra as a bathtub, they're a bit too big. not for me!!! besides... micronization... Quote
F-ZeroOne Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Yeah, but there were some physical issues with that relationship. If you can use her bra as a bathtub, they're a bit too big. No. No, they're not. Quote
Sweet Zombie Jesus Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 not for me!!! besides... micronization... Or maybe, macronization... Louder voice, harder for people to not listen, I'm sure Basara'd be into that. Quote
Sumdumgai Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 I chose Basara because I like Gamlin, for a lot of the reasons SpaceyAce2012 brought up. I wouldn't want to wish Mylene on anyone nice. I actually dislike Mylene more than my occasional dislike for Basara. And Emilia... Awesomeness! Quote

Keith Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 Never happen. Kawamori isn't happy unless something major is vague at the end of each series. Quote
Deigo Posted January 1, 2007 Author Posted January 1, 2007 IMO, it's vague and it's something major. did mylene and gamlin follow basara at the end? Quote
SpacyAce2012 Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 IMO, it's vague and it's something major. did mylene and gamlin follow basara at the end? Yes. At the end of M7 Dynamite. Quote
Mechafan Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 The choice is Gamlin for me. I liked him much better for her. Quote
myk Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 No. No, they're not. Ahh...Can you imagine swimming in pure joy... Quote
Keith Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 (edited) Everytime these discussions about Emilia come up, I can't help but thnk of that one scene from Village of the Giants, with the guy hanging off of the giant blonde's tits as she's dancing. Edited January 2, 2007 by Keith Quote
Deigo Posted January 3, 2007 Author Posted January 3, 2007 Yes. At the end of M7 Dynamite. How long can they follow Basara though? Doesn't Gamlin have to go back to the diamond force? Quote
SpacyAce2012 Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) How long can they follow Basara though? Doesn't Gamlin have to go back to the diamond force? That I couldn't tell you. Kawamori left it unresolved. It's almost like watching a cliff-hanger, only to find out that the next part won't ever be shown. Will the villian triump? How will the hero get out of his predicament and save the girl? No one will ever know. I equate the M7 love triangle with an unresolved cliff-hanger. And in either case, it annoys me not to know the answer. You would think that Gamlin would have to report back in sooner or later. Plus, Mylene has gigs to perform. And it looks as though they'll be chasing that numb-nut brooding rebel across the cosmos. Edited January 3, 2007 by SpacyAce2012 Quote
Keith Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 Gamlin could easily have been re-assigned to escorting Mylene. It's made pretty clear that "Firebomber" as a group has played its last concert (so no, Mylene has no more engagements to perform), and Basara is probably headed off to the same place Sara & Shin are. You just wait, the mythical Macross finale will have Basara pilotting the AFOS! Quote

Could you look at my avatar and tell me what you see. Is it still Silvie Geena in the flightsuit, or Max and Millia's VF-22s? Edited January 3, 2007 by SpacyAce2012 Quote
jigahus Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 To me I'm gonna use the Encore OVA series to wrap up Mylene's choice. Gamlin gets Miho (which is way better than Mylene). And then Mylene chases after Basara while he goes off on his hippy space cruise (puke). Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 I hope that if there's a new Macross series/OVA/whatever... it's not about macross 7 with that numbnuts Basara having Mylene chasing his ass all over the universe and Gamblin just taggin along to finally resolve the love triangle why can't they bring back megaroad 01 from the middle of the galaxy and have Basara loose transmision and get lost forever over there...

Lightning Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 the great HFH has said many times that he's not gonna do the Megaroad-01 again....he said "they disappeared in the middle of the galaxy, end of story" Quote

kung flu Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Mylene is still a child, and should still be at school instead of thinking of engagements and singing Quote
RDClip Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Mylene is still a child, and should still be at school instead of thinking of engagements and singing Well, her mom was 15 and her dad was 16 when they got married. So i guess in the Macross version of the future it isn't that weird. But, back to the main topic. I chose Gamlin. I do like him much more as a character than Basara, but I do think he would be better for (and to) Mylene. Mylene had all her sweet moments with Gamlin, I can't really remember any moment in the series where i saw any mutual feelings between Basara and Mylene. And lets face it the only good points of Mylene Basara brings out is her talent in singing and music. After Gamlin knew everything, Mylene seemed comfortable with him and she could confide in him. And the big point is that, of the two guys, Gamlin was the only one who had romantic feelings for her. Quote
Final Vegeta Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 According to what I have read about seduction (Mystery, DeAngelo and others), Mylene will choose Basara. Obviously Gamlin is a better logical choice, but that's not how it works. You just wait, the mythical Macross finale will have Basara pilotting the AFOS! "Now listen to my song, you kadun!". FV Quote

Well she is a child age 14 i think and basara and gamilin are fully grown men. if thats not weird what is? And her parents were of a similar age, though its still weird Edited January 17, 2007 by kung flu Quote
bigkid24 Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 I think the triangle should remain unresolved. If she ended up with either of them the relationship would be dysfunctional. She should just find someone else. Quote
RDClip Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Well she is a child age 14 i think and basara and gamilin are fully grown men. if thats not weird what is? And her parents were of a similar age, though its still weird She does turn 15 near the end of the series... And Gamiln and Basara's ages have never actually been said, but i've read that they are probably 18 or 19.(depending on your definition of grown men they are or aren't) But the one very obvious thing about Macross is it's youth worship (well anime in general). They tend to have teenaged characters doing things that normally only adults do (because it isn't legal for them or they aren't mature enough). Really, should 16 year old Ichijo Hikaru be piloting a walking/flying weapon loaded up the whamzoo with explosives and powered by a nuclear reactor? Quote
