even after all these years, it's still really funny that nether gundam is the one that got mass-produced.

gms won the 1 year war, but no one finds that exciting so in-universe and out it is quietly ignored.

zeon just plain never had the resources or manpower to conquer earth. but if they had stayed in space then eventually the federation's unchecked war production would have overwhelmed them anyway. i guess they could have started doing orbital bombardments (with objects smaller than colonies) on launch sites to keep the flow of troops into space in check, but that would be a whole other arms race the feds still might win. zeon never seemed terribly interested in suppression or containment, though. making 50 different mobile suits/armors exclusively for fighting on earth was vastly preferable to ever questioning if they should be fighting on earth at all. so obviously, the only route to zeon victory was mass producing the zakrello.

zeon had a bunch of huge advantages they pissed away on boondoggles and amuro. their initial success was due to a combination of invalidating all the good federation weapons technology with minovsky particles and then introducing mobile suits which were perfectly suited for this new environment. zeon might have been able to raze all federation forces from the earth, but instead they tried to conquer and occupy territory. that's something their tech advantage would never be able to accomplish.

aside from char, i don't think zeon ever really figured out that the gundam was just a mobile suit. amuro was the real weapon. for all the bullshit newtypes can do in a mobile weapon, they aren't particularly impressive outside of one. but regardless of how practical it might be, assassinating the living war god while he is just a surly, horny teenager isn't very interesting. sweet-rear end robot fights are way better.

i always really liked how all that was set off by fa repeatedly shouting his name in a public place, despite knowing perfectly well how sensitive he was about his name. she was either completely oblivious or loving with him, but the latter is funnier so let's go with that.

kamille chose a poor time to punch jerid in the face, but that doesn't mean punching jerid in the face is ever a bad idea.

maybe some of those endless, pointless kamille vs. titans fights would have been interesting if he had fought sinister neo-guntanks.

Gripweed posted:A new video produced under the theme of "BEYOND", the concept of the 40th anniversary of Gundam. Banagher, the protagonist of Mobile Suit Gundam UC, travels across the world beyond the boundaries of his work. An original story that conveys the appeal of Gundam to a wide range of people across borders and generations. if it is meant to convey the appeal of gundam, why is banagher there?

there were a lot of reasons for this, but amuro spent so much time alone in the cockpit, with no backup. or worse, guntank backup.

char was a dick, but not so much that he'd simply forget kamille existed once he was out of sight. he certainly would have found out what happened to kamille, whether by newtype flashes or otherwise. if nothing else, he certainly would have sought out info on all the known powerful newtypes while planning the events of cca. the dude had a very healthy respect for the absolute bullshit newtype kids can pull.

i'm not sure if kamille served as any of char's post-zeta motivations, but that's very different from char caring so little that he never bothered to find out what happened to kamille. however, he had enough going on at the time that he might have only looked into it after kamille's recovery and permanent retirement. kamille had a reasonably happy ending, but he never became the newtype messiah char hoped for and that's likely where char's interest ended.

Nessus posted:Didn't minovsky particles also gently caress up EM communication in various forms? Or was that just if you deliberately goosed your reactor to do it? I was never sure if that was a retcon or if it was in there from the beginning, but it does a fair bit to let the UC still work as science marches on, even if as a retro-future: "you can't have ubiquitious mobile wireless networking or whatever because it's incompatible with the dirt-cheap totally clean energy." that was part of the rationale for mobile suits. radar doesn't work, so guided missiles don't work.

stealth bits are gone because it is all newtypes, all the time now. they aren't stealthy when used against other newtypes.

even the treads make sense, as there's no way for it to fire such enormous cannons and stay on two feet. they are artillery, not beam guns. it only gets silly and pointless in space.

turrets on base ships aren't generally allowed to achieve anything in gundam. that would take away the focus from robot fights.

the federation only had one amuro, but zeon had like 50 chars and that number only goes up with each new oyw story.

my favorite thing about 0083 is how people somehow watch it and then think it serves as a demonstration of zeon nobility. it's also kind of funny how awful nina is, but that can't carry a show.

the format of crossbone being multiple short manga means that there are a shitload of main unit upgrades. it's hard to keep track of them all.
