Talk:Negadon: The Monster from Mars

Covering Planzet

Watched Planzet using the Dailymotion upload that Zillaman98 found. There are quite a few Negadon references:

• Negadon is the enemy in an electronic game the main character is seen playing before the aliens invade.
• As in Negadon, there's a military character named Seiji Yoshizawa; they even look the same, age aside.
• The retro space station from Negadon is shown destroyed.
• Here's the most eyebrow-raising one: A worn poster for Negadon appears on the side of a shuttered movie theater.
• Humanity's Mt. Fuji-sized mecha superweapon (Kyros?) is a dead ringer for Negadon.

There's also a Martian colony (construction of which began in 2030, five years after Negadon takes place), and F-104 Starfighters are still being flown in 2047, among other retro touches. Yet despite all this, I can find no official confirmation that it's a sequel to Negadon; it's just billed as being made by the same people. This is the case in both English and Japanese publicity materials. Next step is getting the Blu-ray, as it includes an audio commentary by the director. But if he doesn't call it a sequel there, I'm afraid it's going to be a "no" on a Planzet page from me. It would merit a lengthy trivia entry though.--Astounding Beyond Belief (talk) 15:56, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Wasn't the events of Negadon alluded too in Yūra Yoshizawa's speech though?, i heard name's wasn't used but if you saw Negadon you would know what she was talking about, but im going off of the Omniviewer video i saw, as for no official confirmation of it being a sequel anywhere, maybe it was meant to be a suprise and that the viewer was supposed to draw the connection. https://youtu.be/fGcOtSoAdh4?si=rRKkrJRD01P90CG7 ---Zillaman98 (talk)
