What was the Point of the SDF-2?
I haven't watched this show in many years, but have just gotten through the Macross Saga thanks to Netflix. I understand that they changed some of the story elements from the original Macross show, but some things towards the end make no sense at all.
Lisa is given her own ship, the SDF-2 in the last episode. She is then shown in the room on the SDF-1 that was the control room for the Defense Forces, the SDF-1 is shown being attacked and then they run to the old bridge to launch it. This is clearly what happens, this is what happened in the original Macross. Yet for some reason Robotech has the dialogue say they are on the Bridge of the SDF-2, the SDF-2 is attacked and destroyed (even though it's clearly the SDF-1 attacked and not destroyed) and they are running to a different ship. Am I missing something?
Why say the SDF-2 was destroyed? So they can be on the SDF-3? It makes no sense. I had to find the final episode of Macross dubbed to see what happened in that episode that was changed over. Is there anything else that made no sense on Robotech but does make sense in Macross?
