Added DiffLines:

* HeartwarmingInHindsight: Scott Bernard losing his fiance Marlene Rush and finding love again with the Invid Princess Ariel, which concludes in ''Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles'' becomes more poignant knowing Scott's voice actor Greg Snegoff lost his first wife Lisa Michelson to a tragic car accident (see above) but eventually found love again and married his current wife Fiorella Capuano.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: ''WesternAnimation/RobotechTheShadowChronicles'' comes in for a special dose of fan hatred due to the changes it made to its retelling of the original segments of the TV series with which it overlapped. Most notably, several major characters present in the TV series version were cut from the movie's reenactment of an important scene so as not to confuse new viewers with these other characters they didn't know and wouldn't have the chance to meet in the rest of the movie. Harmony Gold representatives somewhat disingenuously claimed those other characters were still there, just outside of camera view. As if that makes the scene any more coherent. A number of other problems with ''Shadow Chronicles'' were caused by the producers not wanting to confuse a new audience who had not seen the original series. No mention is made of the Zentraedi or Robotech Masters (even the half-Zentraedi character is referred to as "half-alien") or a number of other elements that are important to the backstory but don't play any role in the current movie. The result is that dialogue often seems stilted and omissions make little sense.
