Hey! Nice Revision!
Agreed. Very nicely done.
Ranma-the-Trainer works better than Ranma-the-Pilot. Also, if we are seeing
more from his point of view, you won't need to re-write everything that
happened in the Robotech series verbatum. Veritech battles are cool
visually, but can get dull in reading. :) Definitely looking forward to
more dialog and interpersonal stuff.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree somewhat here. Ranma starting
out as a trainer is definitely a good idea, but I don't believe that it's
in his
character or honor to remain out of the battles forever. IMHO, he would
be lead by his honor to take the path of the warrior as the way to help the
most people the most effectively. I can see strong scenes of angst filled
soul-searching as he slowly comes to that decision, but I believe that this
decision is inevitable. Especially as he sees his new found friends not
coming back, or being killed when shots make their way past the SDF-1's
defenses.
Also, previous foreshadowings in the story intimate that Ranma is filled
with protoculture powers due to eating several complete plants of the
flower of life. This would tend to force him into the forefront of the
events as they unfold as everyone knows that the flowers tend to mess
with a person's destiny in order to get whatever it is they want.
The whole bathroom scene was classic! Poor Rick, he's never gonna know what
hit him! I can definitely see one big mess though, between Kyle, Minmei,
Rick, Ranma, and Lisa. They are all interconnected in some way. Ranma
fighting Kyle is definitely one-sided, but Ranma training Rick to beat Kyle?
THAT would be fun! :)
I HOWLED when I read that scene! :) Give us more! I also agree that
Ranma training Rick would be fun :)
Later,
Anand
