https://en.gundam.info/about-gundam/series-pages/builddivers/gbwc/0-a.html Turns out Build Divers has sidestories on GundamInfo and these are possibly the wildest things I have ever read: quote:“He destroyed us with one shot… He’s as strong as the devil…”

This decentralised solar system concept is why I wish Dust had a translation. Sengoku Jidai UC Gundam is honestly such a wild thing to see play out. Also there are Neo Titans and I'm always down for Hasegawa's out-there poo poo.

Yeah, the original Crossbone is a pretty straightforward schlocky action story. Kid teams up with a team of noble pirate types to bring down an evil empire. Solid enough interactions, fun action, not amazing, but serviceable enough.

Onmi posted:The Albion, Sans Synapse, Keith and Kou is folded into the Titans following Stardust, presumably as part of the effort to cover up 0083. Synapse is Court Martialed and executed. Keith is relegated to some backwater base and Kou is the same after his imprisonment Being relegated to a backwater base seems to be how the Titans deal with troublemakers. The same happens to Ford and Agar after they disobey orders and run off to stop Zeon Remnants from blowing up the Republic with nuclear bombs. Also gotta say, the Gundam Legacy manga definitely conveyed some "bonds between men" energy between those two ex-Gundam pilots.

I've met people who legitimately think the Titans were right. Their thought processes are along the lines of "it makes sense that the Feddies would need a force to take out those uppity Spacenoids so we NEVER AGAIN have the OYW". Also they really love the Woundwort.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted: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. But it's not. You have the original Crossbone, which is a straightforward schlocky action thing that follows a simple linear thread of pirates fight bad guys to save the Earth. Kincade starts in the X1 and sticks with it the whole time, while Tobia starts off in a Pez Batalla and later pilots the X3 until it's destroyed. They had the Pez in VTX, though it was an enemy unit only. They adapted the original Crossbone pretty well in Alpha 2, hit all the main plot bits and did all the upgrades, so it's not something they couldn't have fit in. Skull Heart is a collection of stories that all have Tobia in the X1 Skull Heart, so they could pick and choose from it easily. That's what they did with the Amakusa chapter. Steel Seven is once again pretty linear, and the main upgrade is just the X1 Skull Heart being refitted into the Full Cloth. There's not too much complexity there either.

The Sword Skygrasper in OMNI vs ZAFT is possibly one of the greatest things to play in a Gundam Vs. game, matched only by stuff like Hildolfr's spin tactics. You essentially do two things: ram things with a sword and shoot with the Vulcans. The story stages where you fight ships are incredible because you're some rear end in a top hat in a Skygrasper dragging a sword across the Dominion like you're keying Azrael's car or something.

The most likeliest thing they'll do in a funky SRW crossover plot is probably like the fifth or fourth coolest thing you can think of for the funky crossover plot. It'll be cool and fun but probably not the coolest. So Setsuna will probably uh, tell Mika that he is Gundam and then Tekkadan can start a ongoing permanent contract with Celestial Being to bring about world peace via armed intervention.

chiasaur11 posted:It's also funny how SEED is a UC redo that adds in a Japan analogue just so Japan isn't the villains any more... and the villain factions are more popular. M1 Astrays and the uh, Murasames, are not particularly exciting grunt suits. Especially when you compare them to ZAFT's myriad funky machines.

Humanity going into space isn't all good either, because there's going to be conflict when you move an entire labourer class up there to build the stuff while the decision-makers who benefit the most are all cushy back on Earth. The same unjust systems are reproduced in space, and eventually something's going to give.

The Notorious ZSB posted:Victory is bonkers but lets stop trying to act like it's "good". It has a very sloppy plot structure, is exceedingly wasteful and mean to the characters, and frankly doesn't have a cohesive theme outside of Jack from LOST's ethos of WE HAVE TO GO BACK (to kasarelia) When I watched Victory it seemed as if it was going for something about the exploitation of women at times but the Tomino got in the way.

So far from what buddies have told me and what gameplay and stuff I've seen of it, Code Fairy's got a fascinatingly bizarre tone. Gameplay that's really good at nailing the energy of "Zeon ace on the frontlines dealing with the Feds rapidly getting better tech and overwhelming you", story that seems very at odds with itself like having vengeful Federation rival stuff juxtaposed against Halloween parties, stuff like that. It seems pretty fun, with perfect lines like "The Battle of Loum, a desperate battle for independence".

Warmachine posted:Did Blex's proposal actually have wide enough support to be theoretically possible to pass, or at least not seem like some fringe ideology? What did the actual politics of 'let's move the capital into space' look like? http://www.ultimatemark.com/gundam/archive/zetagundamnovels.html The Zeta novels expand on the AEUG's thing more. quote:Afterwards, the people living in space, or Spacenoids, had continued pushing for the conservation of the one and only Earth. But the Earth Federation government embarked on a frenzy of reconstruction in a bid to restore the planet. quote:The faction of people living on Earth, the ones called Earthmen, were investing huge sums in rebuilding old cities in the name of reconstructing the Earth. This merely meant that humanity was laying the groundwork to pollute Earth's surface all over again. quote:During the nearly four years that followed, the anti-Earth Federation government faction within the Earth Federation Space Force began taking concrete action. This action was carried out by an anti-Earth Federation government organization known from its initials as the AEUG. The colonies of Side 1 and Side 2 became AEUG strongholds, its influence spread among the Spacenoids, and it was also gaining more sympathizers among the soldiers of the Earth Federation Forces.

tsob posted:Interesting that the Titans were formed to fight the AEUG specifically, while AEUG formed in response to general Federation aggression and authoritarianism; including at 30 Bunch. The impression I had always gotten was that the Titans formed first, that AEUG formed in response to the Titans specifically and that the Titans were the ones who gassed 30 Bunch. I guess it might be because Bask was the one who helmed the gassing of 30 Bunch according to the show, so it implies it was the Titans; rather than that he was made part of the Titans once they were created. Yeah these novels are concurrent with the show and I assume the show works off the Titans being newer (which lines up with a lot of Zeta focusing on the Titans being kinda a newer group setting itself up), but obviously media since then has gone with the Titans showing up first (and solidified in 0083).

chiasaur11 posted:big text Methodology and taste in Gundam aside, I think the biggest thing -- which is also "yeah, there's probably a Gundam for everyone" -- is that even respective Gundam shows are lands of contrast, with ups and downs in quality. Like I think there's a good middle stretch of Zeta that's kinda boring, ZZ's Dublin Arc is some peak Gundam, and I think everything in Destiny up to around Break the World is actually pretty good. And even some of the bad Gundams have a lot of good points or fun casts or great sequences (everybody loves the Freedom reappearing over Orb in SEED, iconic moment). I also do respect what Victory was trying to say even if Tomino kneecapped himself in the process. Just gotta approach Gundam with a clear mind and see what vibes and what doesn't vibe with you. Whether it's good or not doesn't really matter and at the end of the day you just gotta enjoy the stuff you wanna enjoy, drop the stuff you don't like, et cetera et cetera. Big franchise with uneven batting average, after all.
