The subtitles definitely had some awkward phrasing at times. But the use of "mr." in that moment made sense

Caros posted:Maybe I'm just blanking... but when? It was there since SEED. The Gundam Hammer the Raider had was designed to wear down Phase Shift. It is how Freedom was disabled when trying to save Flay. Blitz's darts were also designed to gently caress up Phase Shift but obviously they never came into play against Freedom.

As a birthday treat, I saw Seed Freedom last night, without having seen Seed or Destiny, and knowing almost nothing about the Cosmic Era (seriously, whenever people have talked about it in here my eyes glazed over). You know what? I kinda liked it. It wasn’t nearly the trainwreck people were anticipating/hyping up, and I had a good time watching it. I was worried about understanding the basic narrative when the first 10-15 minutes was nonstop jargon and catch-up from Destiny, but it settled into a pretty simple story after that. The character writing ain’t the greatest, no one sticks out as a particularly interesting character, but it was serviceable. The final battle was way too goddamn long, and maybe it’s because I haven’t seen any CE stuff before, but it was difficult to tell who was shooting who, what with how fast the camera/editing were and the amount of poo poo happening. I’m a big fan of the Black Knights doing the Limiter Override from my beloved F91 Gundam F91, and Shura Serpentine is just a great Gundam name.

I thought more about the movie. I know some people are going to try to say it's so bad it's good, but no it's just good. What makes the movie really work is how strong the theme is and how integrated it into the plot and the character arcs. "You don't love someone because you need them, you need them because you love them" doesn't just rebut the bad guy's evil scheme, it also concludes all the major character arcs. And having that simple handle on pretty much everything that happens in the movie is what lets the movie move so fast and have such a large cast. All that spectacle is resting on that strong foundation

As I've described to others, Seed Freedom is a wonderfully awful movie. If you are going into it expecting a grounded, serious, Real Robot film. You are not going to get that. If you go into it expecting the campiest fun and sheer nonsense? It's great. It's the Godzilla vs Kong 2 of Mecha films. Is it a good plot? Is that really why you're watching a Seed film?

I need to see it to be sure, but it seems like even the so bad it's good descriptors for the film are usually acknowledging what works. That is, the film is goofy as heck, but it leans into it and knows what it's aiming for, rather than having failed at some other goal. That said, you seem to be right about the core. Taking a fandom joke about Kira and Lacus's relationship and making it into the film's emotional core is slick as they come.

I mean for any flaws the SEED film has, it offers exactly what it promised which is more SEED. It addressed some complaints (mostly around Shin) but at the end of the day it was the movie diehard SEED fans wanted more or less and appears to have had enough to at least draw attention outside of that specific demographic.

There's an incomplete unit list if you're interested in spoiling poo poo you probably already know: https://gb.ggame.jp/2024/gunpla/ I'm pleasantly surprised by what they include and really hope the gameplay is as good as it looks, it might be perfect. Except that price. Whoof ninety bucks for the deluxe edition. For DLC speculation I'm going to toss out the most obvious choices of SEED Freedom, WfM and Moon Gundam for at least three of them. Darth Walrus posted:I dunno, Merrybell seems to get poo poo done fairly well. It's just Sweatson who's kind of a disaster. I've only seen Merrybell for one episode and she seems to just hang back telling Loran Gym's entire plot and motivation while Loran fucks around. Also Midgard is a tool, too.

Seed Freedom is an appalling mess of a movie, and the fact that we might've got less Witch because of it is almost insulting. The dub is...okay. The script seems like it has a lot of "its going to be this, even though it doesnt make sense in english, because Banrise said so" moments. I'm always going to be partial to the old Ocean cast for Seed anyway, although I'll say that for the few lines he has as Durandal, Keith Silverstein absolutely knocks it out of the park. It's just...I don't even know where to start. The action is nice, I guess, but the writing is just so unbelievably bad it sucks any of the fun out of it all. also I called it, nothing at all about Coordinator sterility Plastic_Gargoyle fucked around with this message at 02:49 on May 9, 2024 |

Banrise can in fact make multiple baffling decisions and have projects go through different types of development hell simultaneously. Still haven't seen Freedom. The downtown theatre doesn't have it playing and the showtimes at the theatres on the edge of Ottawa aren't ideal for me.

Plenty you could still do with G Witch. Like what Vanadis Heart has been doing. Though that's been going on for nearly a year now and has only just gotten to the first major story beat for what it's main conflict will be about.

I watched the last episode of Gundam 0083. Gato's characterization is inconsistent. Early on he tells the guys who help him get the GP02 off earth that they should immediately surrender, their part is done and there's no point in them dying. But at the end, after Operation Stardust has succeeded, he commands his whole force to do a suicide charge at the Federation Navy. His justification is that if even one guy gets through, they will be able to tell the galaxy what they did. But that doesn't make any sense, the galaxy will obviously know what he did. The galaxy not knowing what he did is simply not an option at that point. And on that matter, Jaburo not being the target doesn't make any sense either. Dropping a colony on Jaburo, sure, that was the original target of Operation British, it's the seat of the Federation government. It's a monstrous thing to do, but it makes sense. What's the point of dropping it on North America? The only possible reason is that he wanted to cause a global famine. And he's like, "others will carry this torch forward" or some poo poo, and it's like, what torch? Is it just genocide? Was that the part of Zeon that Gato liked all along? He was never in it for Spacenoid independence or mankind's evolution into Newtypes, he was only in it for the mass murder? That's the only way to square the poo poo he says with the thing he does.

Fuunsaiki is in 3, IIRC you have to manually derive its parts from other parts. Given how many build fighters stuff there are in this one, I wouldn't be surprised if we were given the tools to make stuff like the Maoh kits and whatnot. IIRC the Crossbone X Maoh didn't have that much unique about it aside from the giant chest skull, right?

What was the deal with Michael? The movie doesn't know and it doesn't care. He's the focus of the first half of the movie and they bring up all these unanswered questions about him and it's never made clear how he doing what he's doing, it seems like it's going to be revealed that actually he was backed by Foundation or that Orphee was secretly Michael the whole time and that's how he managed everything but the movie never says either and I don't think he was mentioned once after Kira gets diverted from being brainwashed into trying to kill him. I had a good time! It was really bad!
