I feel like with the Penelope and Xi their original novel designs(and the relatively close interpretations of them in various SD Gundam games and Super Robot Wars V) work a lot better than the redesigns of them for the new movies(for one thing the color schemes for both are a lot better, as are the proportions)

I've been rewatching Gundam Seed, and I really think they messed up by establishing what Lacus looked like before she appeared. Because her first appearance is great, they bring in this military life pod they think has a ZAFT pilot in it, but then a pink-haired girl in a huge dress floats out doing her best Lalah impression and everybody is too stunned to act. But the audience knows that's Lacus. They should've mentioned Lacus a few times, Athrun's fiance, the Prime Minister's daughter, heading this memorial commission, etc. to set up that there is an important character named Lacus, but then have her burst out of the pod with no clue who she was, and then next episode be like "That's Lacus?!"

Especially for Fareed; he's all about basically cargo culting stuff from the past that he knows is important but in no way understands why, so copying pre-war Earth architecture that he thinks is important seems like exactly something he'd do.

Randomly reading 00 lore and TIL that the greatest pilot in the AD timeline, Fon Spaak, apparently didn't want to have Setsuna upstage him with his ELS 00 Quanta, and decided to capture an ELS so he could get his very own ELS-Astraea I don't know how accurate this is, but uh, do people actually unironically like Fon Spaak or is he just a gigantic meme

And while I'm sure that wasn't really it I also imagine someone, somewhere in Bandai/Sunrise was bringing that up at whatever planning meetings they do. they did have a note from one of the people on it to the effect of "We would have loved to 2D animate the mecha in this but with the designs featured it's just not practical" so I think them needing CG animation that looked decent was at least one of the limitations they were dealing with. drrockso20 posted:I feel like with the Penelope and Xi their original novel designs(and the relatively close interpretations of them in various SD Gundam games and Super Robot Wars V) work a lot better than the redesigns of them for the new movies(for one thing the color schemes for both are a lot better, as are the proportions) the movie designs are less redesigned from the novel art than the fix figuration and SD G Gen arts are, particularly the huge hands and chest v-fin on the xi The Golux fucked around with this message at 18:58 on Sep 7, 2023 |
