He'sa piece of poo poo. Check out the Worst Wing.

Hodgepodge posted:It's rather pathetic that the studio would go that far to remove the trans aspect of a suppporting character who is trans in a fashion which is abstracted somewhat through the film's central metaphor. But not surprising that the end result facilitated a safer, more generic misreading of the film. The original website listed a bunch of inspirations, including Mage: the Ascension.

The rlm videos are pretty good at explaining why people don't like the prequels. They're pretty bad at actually analyzing them. Just accept you don't like the prequels becaus ethey didn't live up to the hype and/or give you what you wanted and move on with your life. When someone says they like the prequels or that they'r enot that bad? Just shrug, don't go acusing them of loving gaslighting, what the gently caress is wrong with you?

The Star Wars sequel needed a giant fleet of motorcycle battleships. They already stole the Beam Rotors from Victory Gundam, mgiht as well steal more.

Pulcinella posted:Well that and it tries to say war is bad but giant war machines are incredibly cool. The newtype bullshit sucks but it does get undermined pretty regularly. Newtype magic has saved the day a few times from straight up destruction, but literally has never stopped wars. The dumb kids never realize that “if only we could all communicate and understand each others feelings there would be no war” doesn’t work if the people in power don’t care about any of that. So the only Gundam series you saw outside of IBO was Unicorn?

I just find it annoying how people keep going into CineD to meltdown about whatever movie opinion they have, and then go to other forums to say actually it was the opposite. Like with Zack Snyder movies. Apparently the fact that people like his movies is enough to give people aneurysm or something. I don't like his movies much, but I don't give a poo poo that people like them.
