Perhaps he'd even use NordVPN so those blasted Zabi's couldn't track his IP address.

*The Gaw is on fire, everything is out of control, Garma desperately wrestles with the controls* *PING: A message has arrived on your phone!* "lol garma fuk u" *picture of a butt.* Garma frantically tries to send a return message informing Char of how much he sucks but dies before he can send because autocorrect kept screwing him.

How far could the Gundam Alex get in the gryps conflict? Seems more agile and faster than the mass production suits especially if you go about the mk.ii. route of stripping it of superfluous armor.

Well, the GM 2 was about on par with the baseline RX-78 (no magnetic coating) so the Alex would be capable of keeping up with the standard line suits. Give it to Amuro, and it's killing everything. Even Tomino couldn't kill him off with anything short of a meteor crashing into the Earth.

I imagine all the Alex really needs to keep up is maybe change the backpack to a more modern one with more powerful thrusters and maybe give it a more powerful beam rifle too The GP series suits are probably capable of keeping up with Zeta era suits with little to no changes though

Edit: That's also discounting the fact that a minimum of two out of the five Gundam pilots are not the original intended pilots.

Ramadu posted:why dont any of the pilots in gundam wing know the other space terrorists involved in OPERATION M In addition to the other reasons (namely Wing is insane), the Alliance and OZ were deliberately restricting communication and travel between the colonies. The pilots and scientists had no real way to collaborate. chiasaur11 posted:Because every Gundam scientist independently decided to betray the original plan for Operation Meteor, and they had no way to be sure that anyone else would be on their side. Best not to let anyone else know about your agent so they can still have the element of surprise. I think "Betray Dekim/Quinze" was in the cards from the getgo, but I can't substantiate this because I don't know if they actually had communication after developing the Tallgeese and splitting with Howard.

Given Wing's enduring popularity I think its crazy that we haven't seen OVAs/movies for Frozen Teardrop and/or an adjusted OVA/movie trilogy based on Glory of the Losers. It seems like that would be an instant $$$ hotbed for Sunrise and Bandai.

Probably starting with Seed. And then X.

It seems like that would be an instant $$$ hotbed for Sunrise and Bandai. It's only been since IBO that the US has even been a big secondary market again for Gunpla. Meanwhile, in Japan, it's much less popular than SEED or 00, let alone the UC. It's not unpopular, but it's not a guaranteed money maker. With the Wing Zero being the big MG this year and the expansion of P-Bandai, it seems the US audience is getting more attention, but OVAs are expensive, and it would mostly be reselling stuff that already would sell without an OVA. Also, Frozen Teardrop is just... something else. Bad else.

Gripweed posted:Maybe that's what the live action Gundam movie will be. I'm pretty sure they've confirmed in one of the press releases that it'll be based on 0079. Which isn't really a shock, since it has the most designs and fluff to market in various ways. That aside, someone mentioned the "More About the Universal Century" shorts in the last few days, and I went to watch it again because I barely recall it after seeing it a few years back on YouTube, but the opening cards gives them a subheading, like "Construction of the Colonies (The Beginning of the Universal Century)", which makes it sound like there could be more of these shorts. Are they included as extras on any of the home media or something? I vaguely recall hearing that set at least is on the 08th MS Team DVDs, but I don't know if it's in blurays (doesn't appear to be listed in the one page I checked for extras) and there could be more on other ones for all I know. tsob fucked around with this message at 23:10 on Jul 8, 2020 |

If you watched a 17 minute compilation, then that was all of it. Whoever uploaded it just cut the intros for the other parts.

It confirmed Heero x Relena I hear so it's not all bad. Also if they did make Frozen Teardrop into an OVA, I want the OG voices back for the dub and I don't see that happening. They don't use Ocean anymore for Gundam dubs, right? NikkolasKing fucked around with this message at 02:46 on Jul 9, 2020 |

For some reason, I dimly recall there being a lot of horror stories about how the creator/writer of Wing was a gigantic pain in the rear end to work with.

Who was... enthusiastic, to say the least. https://www.player.one/gundam-wing-otakon-writer-producer-panel-anime-119096 https://www.player.one/gundam-wing-otakon-writer-producer-panel-anime-119096 posted:While they managed to do it, Tomioka noted, “Part of the problem was that Director Ikeda was very enthusiastic. He kept writing more and more episodes. But because he kept taking so much time writing the script, I was like, ‘Wait! We have to go into production now! We don’t have any time left!’ So I had to put on my producer hat and switch him out with other directors.” Also, from that same panel: quote:Sumisawa’s fondest memory of production was screening episode 1 in front of the executives, sponsors and other bigwigs. At first, the Sunrise execs were not especially impressed since Sunrise is known for producing a lot of mecha anime so battle scenes were no big deal. gourdcaptain fucked around with this message at 06:50 on Jul 9, 2020 |
