The vibe I took away from The Origin movies was not "wow Char's so cool" it's "wow Char is a total sociopath" I don't see how you watch those and not get that impression. Also the fact that some of his vendetta against the Zabis is fueled by his crazy teacher indoctrinating him when there's a non zero chance his dad just, like, had a heart attack.

The Origin (ova) definitely thinks Char was born evil, but also it thinks he's the coolest person to ever live. I think that's the biggest divergence from "mainline uc canon" where neither of those things are true.

The Origin Char wasn't born evil he just has massive mommy issues that he wont resolve until the moment before his death

I've never seen or read Origin but I heard it turned Garma into an rear end in a top hat. That's pretty different from the original.

Garma develops from a rich kid bully to a relatively cool guy after he's humbled and then befriended by Char.

The Origin saw the episode where Garma died and the bit where Char watches the funeral and says "It was because he was a spoiled brat" and just decided that was all it needed to know about the characters. So now Garma is very firmly a spoiled brat and Char can't stop killing people by tricking them into getting into vehicles that are going to explode

It's a shame Amuro had to go beyond the time and he couldn't come back to tell everyone about Char's mommy issues so they could all laugh at the Red Crybaby.

The ghosts of Amuro, Char, and Lalah do come back to dunk on Full Frontal's corpse at the end of Unicorn which was really funny.

SnakesRevenge posted:The what, now? Hayato and Kai tell Amuro in the third part that pilots in past wars would ask their lovers for a locket of pubic hair as a good luck charm and encourage Amuro to ask Sayla for one, but he never does so far as I remember and when Amuro is killed Kai in the immediate blames it on Amuro not having gotten one. Kanos posted:The Guncannon still makes some sense in the OYW, since one of the main limitations of One Year War technology is that beam guns are gigantic power hogs that are hard to miniaturize to the point where the Gundam's beam rifle is basically a bolt from the blue wunderwaffen, so having big solid shot cannons still makes sense. Beam rifles don't really become standard for a good while even after the One Year War though, and they're pretty rare by the start of the Gryps Conflict. They become more common by the later half of the war, but even then there's still a good few units that don't field them and it's only really in ZZ that they become standard fare. A few decades later the advent of miniaturized suits with thinner armor where speed and beam shielding were more important than actual armor meant that physical weapons were more effective than they had been for a while too. chrome line posted:The Origin saw the episode where Garma died and the bit where Char watches the funeral and says "It was because he was a spoiled brat" and just decided that was all it needed to know about the characters. So now Garma is very firmly a spoiled brat and Char can't stop killing people by tricking them into getting into vehicles that are going to explode Garma was a spoiled brat, to be fair. He read basically every situation wrong, and was only as effective as he was because Char was there at the time to realize what was actually happening, he hosted big soirees and was mostly driven to earn acclaim from action rather than his name not by a belief in the war or even a desire to lead his men, but to impress his father and sister. He was still trying to be a good leader and died trying to take his enemies with him, but he was doing it mostly for selfish, superficial reasons.

One of the reasons Tomino has that stuff is because his character developments are just like 20% off what it seems like they should be. When he goes into space and Lalah is haunting him (as he predicted) I love that his response is just "please leave me alone"

Within the confines of the manga adaptation, Char in The Origin is just presented as extremely hosed up. He was the son of NotJesus and lived his entire life dealing with that while being raised by Ramba Ral's hosed up dad which only made him worse. He's charismatic and a schemer but it's pretty careful to show that his schemes are almost always short-term goals at the best of time. Like that's a key to Char and it's there in the original series too. Char is not a good long-term planner. He is entirely too prone to acting on his impulses and doing something that appeals to him in the short term without considering the long-term consequences to people around him or to his own plans. Like yeah he can betray his friend and drop a quip as he dies but his short-sightedness means he almost fucks up his plans to kill the people he *really* hates, then he gets diverted by Lalah, then he gets diverted by Amuro and even him getting his revenge against Kycilia is (within the original show/Origin) presented as him basically deciding it's more important to Bazooka her right loving now than to get to safety. From the start of his life to the end of his life he basically is incapable of not self-sabotaging because any long term plans he has go out the window the moment he sees something that tickles his fancy, which is why he ends it getting his poo poo kicked in by Amuro because he sent Amuro the tech he needed to stop his plan. You can look at Char and see how he is superficially cool and good at killing people but it's also very clear that is all he is good at. If he developed past that and actually was able to focus on his goals he probably could have been terrifyingly effective but at that point he wouldn't really have been Char anymore either because Char is 100% the guy who will get his own best friend killed because he wants to drop a sick burn.

Neo_Crimson posted:If anything he would be banging Chan instead. Amuro and Chan spend most of their time in the afterlife together, but she insists that he get the weird poo poo he has going on with Lalah sorted out, so sometimes he meets with her and gets really depressed watching the Turn A wipe out civilization. On the upside, that gives him and Chan more material for their Mobile Suit criticism podcast. I still like how IBO had its Char and Garma setup twist so the Garma survives and grows as a person. Gaelio going from a spoiled brat to the most conventionally heroic figure in the show, even as the Char clone got so caught up in his own bullshit that he starts making speeches about how he's still totally winning even as he's abandoned by everyone and left alone against a fleet. McGillis and Gaelio are fun. (Also fun? Everyone in IBO constantly has their plans fall apart. Unlike some shows where everything depends on ridiculous, minute details going perfectly, almost everyone in Orphans has to eat poo poo pretty often.) chiasaur11 fucked around with this message at 08:33 on Jul 20, 2023 |

It wasn't until, like, a third watch I realized that Iok accidentally shooting Julietta made her miss the capture for the Dawn Horizon boss, which leads directly to Mika capturing the guy, which lead to Tekkadan's deal with McGillis, which lead to the whole plot of the season. He is a staggering amount of fuckup. Even Jerid can't compete.
