For Voltron, it's probably because they'd need the individual Lions which would have been great in the movie as there were five in the main group, but they'd also have to bring up why they were never mentioned or shown before that point. They didn't have that problem with one of the late additions having a trump card because of being a late addition. As for Mazinger versus Gundam that's matter of recognizably to the western audience really. Licensing may have also played a role too since Gundam is probably easier to license than other mechs from that time period. The book actually has a few more mechs than the movie, but honestly you may dislike that sequence in the book more. Not gonna spoil why though. --- "Why bother with statistics when reality has already given you its answer." - Purple Heart ... Copied to Clipboard! |
