taksraven Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) Hope you enjoy this little tribute I have put together of the Cannon Fodder of Macross. This is Part Two. I will put together Part One when I have enough footage, enjoy.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNSozc4DsqA Taksraven Edited March 23, 2008 by taksraven Quote
Gubaba Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 FOUR STARS!!! (Would've been five, but Gilliam getting crushed really should have been in there...saving it for Volume Three, maybe...?) Quote
taksraven Posted March 13, 2008 Author Posted March 13, 2008 Was Gilliam really cannon fodder though? Thats the main reason why he was left out but he can be included in Volume 3. Taksraven Quote
Mr March Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Part Two before Part One...how avante garde Not a bad little video. The Franz Ferdinand track "Take me Out" was quite appropriate given the subject matter Quote
eugimon Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 heh, great fun, and I gotta agree, GREAT song choice! Quote
Gubaba Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Was Gilliam really cannon fodder though? Thats the main reason why he was left out but he can be included in Volume 3. Taksraven In my opinion, yes. But I even think Kakizaki was cannon fodder, and he survived for a not-inconsiderable amount of time. Granted, the guy who gets the contents of his contents of his skull spattered all over the canopy of his VF-0 is way more connon fodder-y than either Kakizaki or Gilliam, but I think the two of them still qualify.

jenius Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 I dunno, I thought the moment you got named you were no longer a CF... 'cause you could be referred to by name. If you have a distinct valk that's even less CF. Quote
Gubaba Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 What can I say? I have extreme views of what constintutes Cannon Fodder. At least Macross is more lenient than, say, Ideon. Every form of life in the universe was cannon fodder in THAT series... Quote
polidread Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 fun stuff! the explosions were even in time with some of the drum beats XD Quote
s001 Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Was Gilliam really cannon fodder though? Thats the main reason why he was left out but he can be included in Volume 3. Taksraven Man your avatar is creepy. Pretty cool but scary. Quote
Gubaba Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Man your avatar is creepy. Pretty cool but scary. Doctor Who ALWAYS scared the wits out of me when I was a kid...real "hide behind the sofa and peek out every now and then" time... Quote
Morpheus Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 The cannon fodders deserve this tribute and some respect. The only reason why the ace pilot/main character survives most battle is because the cannon fodders took most of the damage. Roy got killed because there was not enough cannon fodders at that time. Look at Basara, he is invincible with all those VF-11 sacrifice. Quote
jenius Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 This was really good stuff. The only thing I might change would be to have it not extend to a moment of Macross F at the end and just end with the ending glory of Zero. Still awesome as it is. Quote
taksraven Posted April 7, 2008 Author Posted April 7, 2008 I could not resist the Cannon Fodder moments in Macross frontier, they were too brutal!! Taksraven Quote
VFTF1 Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 Technically, the world is fodder for my cannon! No - wait...that sounds wrong... What I meant was that all in all, everybody is cannon fodder when they die - I mean - even Roy Fokker - cannon fodder. VFTF1 Quote
SpacyAce2012 Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Good stuff, OP. Two thumbs up. The cannon fodders' recognition for their glorious sacrifices is long overdue. Quote
