Well, I did say it's been a few years.
but if there is one thing I remember... Minmei was a complete b*tch towards Rick.
She almost deserved Lynn, almost... I'm glad she wound up all alone. Served her right.
Lisa could have been better as well, but she was more "stable" than Minmei, well...
Lisa started out stable, Minmei not really, they kind flipped towards the end.
Minmei, once she dropped Lynn became stable. Once Lisa went to Mars? was it, is when she started to become a wreck!


In fact, I'm going to start my robotech up...
Now... ProtoCulture collection or Complete collection?

Ben was always wicked annoying. Boo that guy.

Are you kidding me? Ben was the best part about the Macross Saga. He's also the sexiest male character in the entire RT universe. Oh man that hair! And that laugh omg he should've been crowned Mr. Macross. I'm upset we didn't get to see him in the swimsuit competition.

In defense of Minmei she was young and at an age where she didn't know what she wanted. And sadly Rick was so stuck on their time alone together that he kind of brought this obsession with her all on himself. I don't think she was leading him on, I think he thinks he was being lead on because he wanted to be more than friends with her.

But in the end when Minmei was rejected by Rick she accepted it and didn't throw fit. Whereas I don't think Lisa would've handled it the same tbh. But IMO Minmei was always more stable than Lisa.

Minmei teased his ass so much.
She stripped for him
She showered in front of him
She wanted to marry him
She spurned him as soon as they got rescued

I know what you're getting at here, but like I said she was young and naive at the time. She thought they were going to be stranded like that forever. And when they were rescued she treated him that way because she didn't feel the same. I don't even think she honestly knew how he felt either because he wouldn't even tell her.
Poor communication on both ends IMO

Rick tried to tell her, on more than one occasion.
I'm sure she knew how he felt. The way she's said certain things...

She should've just told him the truth then, that she didn't know what she wanted and that she needed time to figure it out.
Rick didn't have to wait for her he made that decision until he started seeing Lisa as another opportunity. Sometimes I even think he used Lisa as a distraction to try and take his mind off Minmei but ended up falling for her instead.

We also have to remember the fact of age here.

Minmei was ~15-16 during this time, and so it does explain her immature behavior and her not knowing what she wants.

I loved that there was character depth with Lisa. She's a strong woman but she's not perfect and cant help but have feelings and want to act on those and so at times it does create some issues. But that's real life.

I always preferred Lisa to Minmei, but we have to remember we're comparing a 15 year old girl to a 24 year old woman who's seen the real world (is already of an adult age and has military experience under her belt at the start of the series). It's apples and oranges.

Rick should have just gotten them both in bed at the same time!

With Ben too or at least Ben's ghost. He can watch can't he?
