I can push the rest of this dumb show, that being said I've been enjoying it more as of some of the latest episodes I've watched, so I can't say I'm not enthused to see how this turns out. the last 10 eps of victory turn the crazy up to 11 and its a beautiful train wreck

I don't know how you people put up with some of the worse iterations of Gundam. I thought Zeta was bad enough that I had no desire to continue plumbing the depths, but in this thread its a fan favorite. That being said I really enjoyed the original series, 0080, 08th, both MS igloo's, thunderbolt, and Char's counter attack was ok.

MS igloo was really good. What do you not like about it... the Ps1 cutscene graphics (I find it campy and enjoyable)? Or just the sheer epicness of stuff like orbital dropping a ship into combat?

The terrible plot, awful visuals, paper-thin characters, goofy Hurrah Zeon stuff or the entire storyline of the second part. It's awful. Basically the only thing it has going for it are some cool MS designs.

I've seen this one before, and it kinda ignores how insanely corrupt the federation is and how they couldn't vote for stuff. I know people on the internet have giving origin poo poo for making the feddies look worse, but I think it adds to the story.

Also despite what I said the only shows I haven't enjoyed so far are like Stardust Memory, F-91, and Victory. I don't super care for 08th MS team either, but I enjoyed it for the most part.

The federation is lovely through maintaining crappy status quos and in general being solid and corrupt. Zeon is lovely through horrifying atrocities. The latter is obviously a lot worse and it kinda overshadows how lovely the former can be.

The sides had legitimate reasons, sure, but the majority of zeon's victims were spacenoids not earthborn. The ten billion deaths were primarily a result of the gas attacks on the colonies.

The Federation is absolutely garbage and none of that changes the fact that the Zabis are mass-murdering psychopathic tyrants.

Yeah, it's something I like in The Origin's flashback arcs. You can totally see how Zeon got started, and how they felt like they had legitimate grievances... Then they go steadily more batshit evil, and the manga is clearly not in their corner.

Zeon Apologism is basically the worst thing about UC Gundam, because it is wrong on pretty much every level that matters in terms of the narrative painted in the actual source material, and worse still bears a closer resemblance to a really bad thread on DnD. The "legitimate grievances" spacenoids had towards Earth are little better than the legitimate grievances the American Colonies had with the British Empire. They did exist, though, and were things worthy of rebelling against the government that held them down. However, a key difference between these things, besides one actually happening in reality and the other being little more than a Japanese Cartoon with questionable portrayals of human beings and politics in general, is that the American Colonies did not start the war by killing a third of it's fellow colonists before proceeding to kill half of the non-colonial population of the world in the space of a week just to protest a lack of political representation and unfair taxes on common goods, food, and drink. Zeon is basically the worst parts of the Japanese Empire and the Third Reich mashed together with the writers needing to have one side be the explicit bad guys. A lot of the bad things the Federation does leading up to the war are penned in after the fact in side materials or sequels, but even counting all that, even counting what they do in the aftermath of the OYW, they never approach the utter ruthlessness of Zeon in any way. The Titans basically crib their playbook from Zeon and come the closest by far, but never come close to being competent or powerful enough to achieve what Zeon did in the space of 24 hours. Monaghan posted:Yeah Zeon's a bunch of assholes don't get me wrong but that image seems to suggest that the side's didn't have a reason to be pissed off. It's less that they didn't have any reason to be pissed off, and more that Side 3, much like many nations in history driven to war on false pretenses, Side 3 became consumed with a mass-masturbatory fantasy that they were righteous and the people they were fighting barely rated the term 'people' to begin with, so gently caress those guys they deserve what they get. Complete with "If you aren't with us, you are against us": Not every Side wanted in on this whole "Lets genocide most of the human race because we're some sort of bizzare hybrid of the Green Party, the Stalin-Era Communist Party, and Nazi Germany without even the benefit of Hugo Boss", so the Zeon response was to make them dead and then fling their giant space coffins at Earth. The leap from "grievances" to "kill everyone now" is a pretty big problem with UC Gundam, and the side materials are a mixed bag at best when it comes to justifying Zeon in any way. And that's how it ought to stay, because it would take some legitimately skin-crawling poo poo on the part of the Federation to ultimately say "Yeah, Side 3 was only reacting to what was being done to it" and have it stick. Maybe if the entire Federation was being run by Urobutcher and Tomino and they recently passed their "ANYONE IN SPACE CAN DIE AT ANY TIME FOR ARBITRARY REASONS AND IN SUPER VIOLENT WAYS" legislation, that could be a start.

Well, 08th MS Team, War In a Pocket, and Stardust Memories all down! All good series, though the former two better than SM, mainly cause it had some characters that were really annoying. Onto Zeta~

Very pretty to look at, completely moronic ending that makes some rather bizarre leaps of logic.

Designed by Macross man Shoji Kawamori, so it has the aesthetic of the RX-78 with the smooth lines of a Valkyrie. It is a very pretty show without much substance. Kind of like Unicorn, but you're still a little ways off from that.
