Arcsquad12 posted:The Laplace program was meant to be a tour of all the atrocities committed in the universal century. Torrington was built around the ruins of Sydney as a training facility for Mobile suit pilots, hence why it was chosen for the coordinates. Oh I remember the purpose of why they went to Torrington; I'd just completely blanked on it being related to the colony drop. Looking through episode 10 now quickly on Youtube I don't even see a wide shot of the Australian landmass to show what the colony did or it's remains. Was there just none included? That seems like a missed opportunity. I also watched the scene of all the Zeon remnants getting the coded message and I'm just wondering why all these remnants who've been living in hiding for years are all still wearing their Zeon uniforms on what is supposed to be a regular day until they get that message. And all the uniforms appear to be in great condition despite how long it's been since the war. That's some loving dedication. And stupidity, since surely any passing civilian not affiliated would see them and go "Hmm...this might be worth saying something to someone about". I suppose since they all seem to know about the attack at Dakar they might have figured something was going to happen and started kitting out in preparation, but it just seems kind of silly that they weren't just wearing casual clothes and shown digging out some old uniforms or something. PS1 Hagrid posted:Michael Cera as Amuro This one kind of mystifies me, at least nowadays. I can understand why it'd have been the joke suggestion a decade ago since he was just old enough to be no longer suitable but still looked a bit like Amuro and was popular in Hollywood. He hasn't been relevant in nearly a decade at this point though so I can't understand why people keep using him. There's surely people reading it on some forums or platforms it's posted around to that don't even know who he is. tsob fucked around with this message at 23:20 on Aug 2, 2018 |

Brian Blessed as Degwin. Not kidding either. I know Blessed is most famous for his boisterous roles, but I really want to see him given one big quieter and more nuanced role; a role where he gets to emote with some degree of subtly and come across as human instead of a giant ham all the time. He has the charisma to steal the scene when put in there even when he's more sober and give off the pain and regret Degwin is left with following Garma's death.

Tom Holland for Amuro. He's got range and is seemingly a solid actor. Plus he's got that sorta unimposing physique that I've always taken younger amuro to have. The Rock for Dozle. He'd be entertaining hamming it up. Daniel Craig CG'd back to a 20 year old for Char. The Notorious ZSB fucked around with this message at 00:59 on Aug 3, 2018 |

Does Win Moresaki speak English? He deserves a better movie than RPO, and he looks youngish enough to still play Amuro by Hollywood rules. (Toby Maguire was 27 in Spider-Man, ya know.) Also one or both of Dylan and Cole Sprouse for Kai.

I sorta don't expect a UC adaptation and more a Cosmic Era-esque really similar continuity. Almost the same amount of time will have passed between Seed and this movie as did 0079 and Seed anyway.

I'd like to know more about how Julietta and Gaelio are doing and the challenges they face in the new status quo, and I feel that works given where the Tekkedan survivors are and the fact the S1/2 protagonists are gone. Although that does look like a possible Barbatos update, don't know who would take ownership of the wreckage there. Jules? With the implied existence of 60+ more Gundam frames and the MAs they can certainly create a new threat or faction that can challenge the establishment.

I don't think IBO really needs a continuation, though the setting seems rich enough that you could fit a lot of stories that aren't direct sequels into it.

JBP posted:Presumably related to why there are mobile armours buried around the place waiting to spring out and attack people. The gundams in IBO are pretty spooky. They don't seem particularly spooky to me. The mobile armors? Sure; they're AI driven machines with no active controller beyond themselves, no apparent goal beyond the extermination of humans, capable of infinitely reproducing smaller spawn and could be hidden anywhere. That poo poo's spooky. I don't know why you'd consider the Gundams spooky though. I'm not sure I'd consider any mobile suits spooky. The Devil Gundam I suppose, but (a) that's kind of a mobile armor as much as a suit and really capable of shifting form as it likes as well as (b) sharing many of the same traits as the mobile armors from IBO in the first place. The Turn-X is kind of spooky I guess given it's ability to separate in to 9 parts (10, if you count the backpack) and vague history as a mobile suit made outside the solar system for unknown reasons by an unknown group (we know who it probably was, but not definitely) as well as it's ability to poo poo out a cloud that could destroy all civilization if the pilot is in a bad mood. It's age and the fact it was hidden for so long and could stay in storage indefinitely helps too. Plus, it just looks a bit alien. Most others, like the Psyco Gundams are just kind of sinister looking rather than actually spooky.

Last time this came up someone suggested the idea of a prequel set during the Calamity War and following Agnika and the other orphans, and that's the best thing they could possibly do to make "more IBO."

That is the loadout Julietta used during her final battle with Mika, so it’s not totally implausible that she’s flying the Barbatos out of respect. That horn on the forehead is reminiscent of the Kimaris, too.

There are a number of mobile suits that use Alaya-Vijnana connectors, like the Man Rodi. The Gundams are the only ones with the MA-killing overdrive, though. Grim thought - what if Julietta is piloting the Barbatos, but it has an Alaya-Vijnana Type-E system built around what's left of Mika? That would certainly fit with the way the new design visually references the Unicorn.

I don't really peg Julia as being willing to use something like the Type-E system. It's kind of a horrible abomination of a system that basically hijacks the final remains of a dead person to use them for combat and Gaelio using Ein was already pretty dark. A huge part of Julia's character arc was considering and then rejecting the idea of becoming a monster in order to better fight monsters. (Spoiled in case people are still watching IBO)

Hey, nobody ever said she’d be happy about piloting it, and that creepy engineer from Season 2 is still in play. I can see it getting installed in the Barbatos, her being given the Barbatos, and her refusing to use it until extreme circumstances like, say, some idiot automating a Dainsleif battalion.

McGillis never went all-out with the Bael Gundam, he just used the normal A-V link. What fried Mikazuki's brain was using the "kill the Mobile Armors" mode. What actually made McGillis' version special was that it could be grafted to an adult subject, when A-V surgery normally required a juvenile so the interface could grow into their developing spine. If it didn't leave them horribly crippled, at least.
