Macross Frontier Series Vs Movies

So i just finished rewatching the TV series and watched the 2 movies for the 1st time. I was wondering what are ppl's opinions of the 2, which did you like better? In the series i felt it left things unanswered and some things were too convenient. Example would be how ranka just magically cures sheryl. I thought as the series progressed rankas character just got worse and worse. By the end i was completely annoyed and hated her. Hell i constantly list her as one of the worst female characters. I also didnt like how they left altos feelings pretty ambiguous. Backround info of the characters were pretty scarce as well. However, i think thats where the movies shine. I felt ranka was a much more enjoyable character, backstories were explained much better, and most importantly they actually resolved the love triangle. I liked that they kept micheal alive with klan. I think they killed off the right characters this time. Also liked that there wasnt anything magically convenient like the Virus cure. The only negatives i really have are sheryl being in on the galaxy plan, and at the end where you finally get that closure just to be trolled with alto going mia and sheryl being in a coma. With that said i have more positives and enjoyable experience with the movies. So i would say the movies are better than the tv series.
