In light of recent adaptations, is there any reason to expect the Gundam movie to not be steaming dogshit?

Hudson Collins
Ryan Nelson
/m/echanic here. No, it's going to be trash. Don't watch it.
Zachary Myers
They're making a Gundam movie? Live-action?
Samuel Turner
It's in pre-production. There's still a chance it'll fall through and they'll blame it on covid and wash their hands of it.
I would enjoy a G-Saviour 2.
Thomas Torres
Who's making it? Don't tell me Netflix.
Zachary Morales
you always knew it would be like this, user
Josiah Jones
Netflix and Legendary.
Connor Howard
>Legendary
At least these people seem to enjoy the properties they work with. I haven't liked the last couple godzilla movies but they do have soul.
Chase Roberts
Netflix with the Kong Skull Island director.
Isaiah Diaz
It might be a decent 7/10 action flick then, best case scenario.
Nolan Wood
Jonathan Bennett
Yeah, I'll agree with you there. Their stuff is a hit or a miss, but I can't think of a Legendary movie I saw and thought 'wow that was just COMPLETE dogshit"
Andrew Ward
They’ll most likely pull some white supremacist/“Trump’s America” shit with the Zeon. Completely fucking up the nuance depiction of conflicting ideologies within Gundam, watering it down to “one side is righteous freedom fighters, the other is evil Nazis”
Also this is your director btw.
Josiah Cox
No Gundam Wing. No watch.
Christian Evans
They'll just make them literal nazi's
Owen Walker
It will be shit. In the best case scenario, it will be redundant and copy-pasting everything from the 0079 Gundam.
Jace Evans
It's a bit too easy when Zeon Don Dumbass compares his son to Hitler already
Bentley Thomas
The manga is...not good. It looks like dogshit and it's some fanfiction-level spin-off that never got animated for a reason. BTW, in the words of Gundam producers: whatever is animated, is official.
Mason Wilson
>there are STILL spics who prefer the worst Gundam
Brandon Watson
At least the guy likes Gundam.
Kayden Gomez
>jew bluecheck
>appreciates best girl
Gundam has never been about black and white good/evil, so it's appropriate that he's an annoying faggot with several good ideas.
Evan Martinez
The original was also terrible so probably not.
Mason Morgan
It's the funniest Gundam with Heero's bullshit and the "I'll kill you" scene in particular
Elijah Price
G and ZZ are funnier, Wing was just the easiest to sell to Toonami audiences because it's an AC series that doesn't require any prior understanding of the series.
Caleb Hernandez
>terrible
Just because it was a TV show with limited production values, doesn't mean it's terrible. The story was actually quite novel at the time and no wonder it's been exported worldwide.
Sebastian Ward
Wu Fei is also extremely based and hates women
Elijah Carter
Say something nice about my husbando, /m/.
Aaron Lee
the main antagonist gives a place in the sun speech followed by him raising his fist in the air and shouting "sieg!". he later compares himself to hitler favorably. the show is made to sell toys to children it's really not(nor intended to be) that complicated.
Aaron Cook
If they're smart they'll split it into 3 parts. There's no way you condense the entirety of 0079 into a single movie and still have it be coherent.
Ryan Watson
>the show is made to sell toys to children
And then they make something like Thunderbolt where everyone's mentally fucked, crippled and/or miserable
Lucas Rodriguez
The show was changed to sell toys to children and it really was intended to be that complicated
Gavin Diaz
Tomino was always part of the Japanese environmentalist mindset, so I assume it's going to have the usual Gaia mindset that the franchise likes. It probably won't have mandatory space migrations though.
Parker Williams
Uh oh.
Anthony Harris
>Also this is your director btw.
That was way less terrible than what I had been expecting. He's actually a fan!
Adam Lewis
I'll take a waifufag over a lot of other options
Ayden Hill
Have you bothered watching that show since you were 8? It's complete garbage.
Brayden Peterson
Gundam never shied away from showing atrocities and the fucked-up state of humanity. Remember that Zeta visit to the gassed colony with disintegrating corpses lying around?
Evan Cox
The production values aren’t why MSG and the rest of Tomino’s series suck, they suck because they’re poorly written and have bad aesthetics.
Zachary Lopez
Yeah, but it wasn't the entire focus of the series like it is with Thunderbolt
Nolan Roberts
Best Gundam.
Xavier Morales
I do wonder when Sunrise is going to approve a full remake of 0079. At this point the foundation of the franchise is inaccessible to zoomers. They've been dancing around it with the Origin thing and the upcoming Doan's Island movie, but I wonder if there's the will for it.
Aiden Ramirez
The entire focus of Thunderbolt are not atrocities either.
Lucas Parker
I wouldn't want that. They should just do more prequel and spin-off stuff. I can't imagine having the entire voice cast replaced.
Evan Fisher
It's about the absolute state of being a Zeon cripple soldier with a PTSD gf and a Chad making fun of your disability
Dylan Martin
based zeta enjoyer
a remake would almost certainly be worse so hopefully never
Adrian Davis
Season 1 of Gundam Wing is really good.
Sebastian Lopez
It'll be terrible and those who defend it and say they are my frens but are not but are the midwits of mediocrity.
Samuel Harris
>netflix gundam
Nicholas Perez
No. It’s the only good one.
Michael Powell
Will /ourguy/ Andrew WK get a cameo?
Sebastian Lewis
It's only one of the subplots. Maybe you've been projecting yourself onto him too hard.
Blake Morgan
Who’s doing it?
Gavin Jones
I get your (low-quality) joke.
Justin Garcia
>Turn A
>0080
>0083
>CCA
>G
>00
I liked a lot of ZZ too, it just takes too long to get going. Unicorn isn't as shit as /m/ says.
John Bailey
i'll watch it if he's in it
Robert Watson
It's shit story-wise, but pretty, with good music, cool robots and competent voice acting.
Anyway, I'd rather rewatch SEED than Unicorn.
Christian Bennett
It's the most important subplot going on though, Daryl becoming less and less human because he keeps losing his limbs until he's basically a fucking freak is the biggest part of his story
Jonathan Wright
I've still never watched SEED, the designs weird me out.
I think the biggest missed opportunity was F91, it completely falls apart in the last act just like 0083.
I also forget what people say about 08th MS Team, I thought it was a lot of fun.
Ian Hughes
>I also forget what people say about 08th MS Team, I thought it was a lot of fun.
I was disappointed with it. It couldn't decide what it wanted to be and the Romeo and Juliet plot was retarded. I lost my patience with that show a lot when watching. The MC was a boring self-insert (the type you see a lot these days in isekai LN adaptations) as well.
Kayden Brown
Brayden James
Caleb Walker
Carter Thomas
Unicorn wasn’t as bad as people make it out to be, and watching it as it was coming out was a great experience. The final episode was incredible on first watch. Honestly /m/ constantly bitching about everything soured the taste, but it’s still a fun watch, with good animation.
Christian Diaz
Kevin Sullivan
The only UC entry I had a hard time with was Victory Gundam. I could find enjoyment from every other entry. The problem with Gundam is the fans have 40 years of autism and lore to argue about, and they’re miserable people. I’ve been watching Gundam for 25+ and just learned to enjoy the ride. Also, Seed is legitimately bad. I’ve never finished it.
Kevin Bailey
Only fujoshis and 90s teenagers love that show.
Christian Cruz
more like older zooms and younger yooms that caught it on toonami back in the day
everyone knows 0079, 0080, and Turn A are the best followed by X, G, and Z.
Landon Scott
>they suck because they’re poorly written and have bad aesthetics.
maybe Zeta and ZZ but both MSG and CCA have great writing and aesthetics
>inb4 quess
she's an accurately written teenage girl
Jackson Cooper
By far the best one.
Chase Williams
Retarded. G Gundam tier.
Adam Sanders
bros what the fuck is the name of that track that plays when Amuro escapes A Boa Qu and rejoins the fleet at the end of Encounters? Not the credits song/Meguriai, I've been going fucking crazy trying to find it for literally decades.
