He did nothing wrong.
Robotech: The Movie begs to differ.

That ANN podcast he was on was a pretty good listen, it was interesting listening to him talk about how things were back in the 80's.

>in the 1980's, we could buy Japanese shows for a song, redub them badly with American cartoon voices for the lowest possible cost, then pretend that it was original.

He actually didn't even want to make it. He just wanted to make a direct translation of Megazone 23, but Harmony Gold wanted more Robotech while the fan craze was fresh and made him hatch it up with Southern Cross footage. Plus being desperate, HG partnered up with Cannon Films to distribute the thing, and lo and behold, those crazy dickheads took control of the project and made them change the ending and add more action sequences in to make it more 'flashy' and 'American' or else they wouldn't distribute it. Then, after a huge marketing disaster with being unable to classify what audience this hack-job was for, parents complained at the screening that it was too violent (they actually kept in quite a bit of Megazone's gritty action sequences) while other people really had no idea what the fuck it was they were looking at, and thus the whole thing was scrapped.
It was a clusterfuck he never wanted, hated being apart of, hated what came out of it, and wished that everyone would just forget it ever happened. Of course, nobody at Harmony Gold wouldn't take that lying down, so they put a poster of the movie at Macek's funeral anyway like some kind of sick ironic joke.
