Macross Frontier/WMG

The movies have the same relationship to Macross Frontier that 'Do You Remember Love' has to the original Macross
Specifically not only is it an alternate continuity its a pair of movies that were made in the TV series timeline at some point after the series ended. The painting of the Galaxy fleet as more ambiguous in their motives (it comes across more that Frontier and Galaxy fleets are rivals vying to be the first to gain control of the Vajra as a source of fold quartz) is due to shifting political climate.
 * somewhat jossed by Word of God apparently even the original SDF Macross was a in universe retelling, just as the 'Do You Remember Love' was. The Frontier movies share the same relationship with the tv series in that both the movies and tv series are in fact in universe retellings.

The events in The Wings Of Goodbye parallel the events of the I Carly episode iOMG onward.
Alto chose Sheryl on the movie. Freddie got kissed by Sam. Both Ranka and Carly ended up losing their respective male leads. Both Ranka and Carly stayed strong (the latter ends up having her best friends being shipped by her).
 * Now that the latter's arc ended with them breaking up, this is considered over.

After The Wings Of Goodbye ended, Alto ends up in the Megaroad-01.
In the movie, Alto folded with the "Vajra Frontier" and gets lost in space too forever. as he was drifting in space unconscious, Hikaru Ichijo found him and treated him back to life. There, he meets Lynn Minmay and became friends. (The reason why they still look the same is because they aged slowly due to being lost in space.) How Alto got back to the Vajra planet though is when Alto helped the Ichijo's get them back on track going there, although the people on Earth still didn't receive the message that they were ok after that.

== The Omniscient Council of Vagueness that tried to take over in Vajra in The Wings of Goodbye are   == At one point of the movie, there was a close up of the who was in the big pod. This picture wasn't lying after all...
 * This actually makes sense that they are revenging against them or the humans, probably that the memories of the 1st Space War made them do that towards Vajra or Humans or both. It might also be the Implants that made them do this.
