Why do the Earths in DC and Marvel not have a bunch of space colonies despite having all the tech for it?
Daniel Thompson
I wish there were more mecha comics.
Because status quo. There's this delusional attitude that superhero settings have to be as close the the real world as possible, because reasons.
Jeremiah Myers
The really high tech is never released to the public.
David Watson
Utterly irrelevant in a world to super powered demi gods.
Logan Murphy
It would get to do one ineffective attack and then it would be effortlessly destroyed.. Mechs aren't allowed to be good in superhero comics
Jonathan Green
cosmic rays?
even full-on unicorn wank (some people on /m/ claim it's the peak technological achievement of the franchise) still pales in comparison to the average super.
Parker Taylor
As a massive Gundam fan I have to say only G Gundam's cast could really be relevant, sadly for how advance it is in universe aside from something like the Minovsky particle the RX-78 has nothing on par with Marvel's super science
Hudson Powell
>bruce wayne could've been punting skyscrapers if he was trained by master asia.
Alexander Adams
Imagine Cassandra Cain raised alongside Domon by Master Asia or Luke Cage and Iron Fist training to master the Seki-ha Tenkyoken, A entire comic run about the Shuffle Alliance
Jaxon Davis
In Marvel, Zeon would exterminate the filthy muties.
In DC, they're a fucking joke.
Brandon Campbell
>Zeon
not Blue Cosmos?
Tyler Torres
Ironically the Undefeated School of the West could dominate the martial scene (imagine Lady Shiva or Vandal Savage watching a man rip through a building with a scarf) but fall short of the JL, the textbook big fish in a small pond. The other thing I could see competing are those liquid metal lifeforms, but those are probably a one shot for the League. Unless the things actually decide to join the League, I guess.
Camden Morales
In Marvel, it'd probably be Japan's response to the Sentinel program, piloted mecha made as a security measure used to get superior or equal ground against superpowered individuals. The RX-78 series being a part of the first batch, with the crazier designs from UC, and the less batshit ones from the non-UC Gundam settings, being the more advanced models.
Henry Wilson
>Japan starts Gundam program in response to Kong Kenan and his chnk league
>it still falls short because last I checked Kong is the fucking embodiment of yin and yang
That’s actually kind of sad. And Sonny Sumo probably fucked off forever after Final Crisis, not that anyone could blame him.
John Ortiz
Drop a colony on Genosha.
Alexander Barnes
Carol alone could solo Zeon's entire space fleet, Minovsky bullshit or not.
Easton Robinson
Come now, we all know Carol would either join Zeon or spearhead her own equally extremist anti-Zeon faction
Brandon Thomas
My nephew is convinced that Gundam is a character from Transformers and I will never correct him on that.
Liam Walker
Giant robots exist to get cut up by Wolverine so he can actually use his claws.
Logan Adams
Well there's always the Titans. Until they got space lasered.
Andrew Diaz
>those liquid metal lifeforms
You mean DG cells? The nanites that form the Dark/Devil gundam, the machine with the ability to reself repair, self evolve, and self replicate?
At the end of the series it showed The Dark Gundam was running at a very limited capacity and needed a female pilot, then it assimilated a whole space colony and started to attack the planet.
Christian Mitchell
Powerlevel wankery is a terrible, terrible thing.
Joseph Smith
Carol's made a lot of dumbass decisions, but she's never an outright villain, just doing what she feels is right without going 100% retard like Zeon or any other Gundam antagonist faction are want to do.
She'd be with them initially because they were basically SHIELD for a while until they went full fucking retard with the colony killing and whatnot.
Charles Cooper
Nothing wrong with gassing spacenoids.
Jaxon Myers
he means the ELS from gundam 00.

Liam Jenkins
It's an absolute killjoy
Jose Parker
That seems too clean and detailed to be from the original 0079. I'm assuming it's an animated cutscene from a PS2 era game?
Carson Allen
Yep
Isaiah Davis
Muties are the strongest. Too many reality warpers.
Kayden Baker
Would never exist because the one week war alone would make the heroes go full avenging justice lords that it wouldn't be developed.
Liam Mitchell
Gihren's Ambition.
Aaron Perez
I feel the Shuffle alliance would make some pretty fun mid-tier heroes for fun small team shenanigans and world trotting
Benjamin Harris
Peak technological achievement would probably the awful 00 movie or Turn A. In the 00 movie they literally discover some hokey quantum teleportation bullshit and the Turn A was armed with a weapon that destroyed practically all technology in the solar system and reverted Earth back to a state similar to the late 19th to early 20th century.
Andrew Evans
Nope, peak tech is Build Fighters in which a children’s toy robot game is suddenly made real by magic quantum particles
She’s 100% behind Marvel’s US military, and after what they did to Hulk/how they recruited the Maker to handle Venom, I consider them outright supervillains
Joseph Foster
>mutants as Newtypes
>understanding, space trippin', the ghosts of dead mutants do whatever the fuck the plot wants, etc.
Shit Magneto already followed the Char arc of villain turned hero turned disillusioned villain who wanted to just fucking end humanity.
Jordan Richardson
Then it becomes a different type of story.
Zachary Davis
High-end Supes (Kal-El, Kara, J'onn, Captain Marvel, Hulk, Magneto, ) would trash any number of Gundams.
Logan King
Noah Lee
Much as I wish mechs were more common in the west, I understand why they aren't. Audiences seem to prefer that actual characters be the ones to engage in the action, ultimately, even the most super of super robots are mere tools. While good piloting requires skill, it's not as obvious and visceral as a character actually performing the relevant actions with their own body.
Colton White
Mechs work when it's in it's own setting. It rarely works when you got supers flying about. Even kid Goku can trash battlemechs in it's own universe.
Cooper Davis
Oh boy, it's another "How would Yea Forums thing fare in Yea Forums thing" aka. Yea Forums's laziest method of posting their off topic shit in Yea Forums!
Ayden Taylor
So just make superpowered mechs that can fight such things, dumbass.
Brayden Adams
Hey, remember during how on Namek, Bulma brought her own mech that she used to fight a giant crab? That was neat. And never came up again. I can just imagine an alternate universe where Bulma built herself a series of increasingly more powerful mechs to keep up with saiyan hax.
You'd think, but fiction as a whole, not just capes, has this annoying tendency to portray robots as being physically frail in relation to fleshies. This of course makes approximately zero sense given that robots are made of METAL, but one assumes it's stems from broadcasting standards crap.
It's not cool to show human or other organics bleeding or dying, but it's considered perfectly okay to show a robot getting fucked up in absolutely horrible ways. Even if said robot is clearly a person and can feel pain.
Jayden Price
I mean, Dr Gero made a bunch of cyborgs and entirely artificial androids that were all way stronger than the so-called strongest tyrant in the universe, on Earth, in a literal cave.
Levi Gonzalez
Exactly. Ki energy is really just particles that just about anyone could theoretically harness. No doubt whatsoever that Bulma could build herself a super mech or even her own set of androids.
However, the reason she doesn't do that despite being one of the few Z Fighters who isn't an idiot, is because there's no point. Only Goku is allowed to accomplish anything in this series.
