Weird as it sounds I think Stardust Memory would fit a feature film better.

I've thought for a while about how you could go adapting 0079 and I certainly think it's possible provided you dropped a ton of stuff and rearranged events. The biggest thing is to avoid the urge to make the film the story of the One Year War and instead focus on telling Amuro's story during the war. Have a set goal in mind: Get the Gundam to Jaburo like you're delivering R2-D2 to the Rebel Base. -Introduce Lalah early by having her travel with Char's detachment. If you're going to do the Newtype stuff in one film, maybe start her off by accidentally contacting Amuro psychically just before the attack on Side 7. -Redo Char's introduction so that the first time we see him is during his first attack on Amuro the moment they escape Side 7, rather than the whole "fly around taking pictures and maybe see Sayla." -Move his encounter with Sayla to a boarding action where the Zekes manage to get on White Base, and get rid of the detour to Luna II. Have the zeon attack driven off by a Salamis or a Magellan cruiser that has Matilda as an XO or something, which then acts as an escort for White Base as they make it to earth. Then she can die covering them as they make reentry. -Garma and Ral can already be working together rather than Ral being the retribution action against White Base. Dozle likes Ral, so he assigns Ral as Garma's bodyguard even though Garma's land forces and Dozle's fleet don't always get along. This rivalry could also explain why Char can get away with wearing sunglasses in space. The navy boys don't care and the army grunts can't do poo poo about it. -Lalah becomes aware of the psyhic link between her and Amuro and they reconcile through trippy 80s anime space magic as the film goes on. Something kind of like the bond between Rey and Ben in The Last Jedi, ish. -White Base makes it through to Jaburo where the combat data is logged into the GM forces stationed at the base, but by making a beeline to Jaburo instead of going the long way around, the Zeon forces mass for a major attack on the base which would act as the finale of the film. Char intentionally sends Garma into a trap fighting the heaviest federation forces so he can get his shot at the gundam (and kill a goddamn Zabi), but Lalah intervenes and is killed in the crossfire. Garma goes down in flames and Ral can go out fighting against Sayla in a GM Custom or something, realizing too late that he's fighting his former ward. -Federation scores a major victory at Jaburo, Amuro is shattered by Lalah's death, Char escapes like Darth Vader zipping away after the Death Star blows up, and the film comes to a logical conclusion with the Federation gearing up for a major counteroffensive to take back the Earth. Amuro has become a man, but only at the cost of his childhood innocence. And then end the movie Starship Troopers style with Gihren's speech. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cACQ2548i0o Between all of that, I think it would also make sense to show the Zeon forces having more than just Zaku IIs rather than the Gouf and Doms and all that being built as a response to the Gundam. Some character names would also change, like I'm sure that Fraw Bow would be changed to something like Fran Bowman. With so many characters, you would need to cut down a lot on people like Hayato, Ryu and Kai and put the focus squarely on Amuro, Char, Sayla and Lalah. It doesn't cover the whole war but the original Star Wars doesn't end with total victory over the Empire either and it still works as a standalone film. RoboCop ends with OCP winning and going ahead with their plan to demolish Detroit but we can still cheer on Murphy regaining his agency and holding onto his humanity after everything has been stripped from him. An open ended movie doesn't have to bait you for a sequel. Arc Hammer fucked around with this message at 05:42 on Mar 10, 2019 |

Nah, Pacific Rim's big enough, nevermind being an excellent Giant Robot film in its own righht, that they can get away with a "proper" Gundam design.

Ugh. I had a dream that led me to wanting to watch Gundam Wing and here I am, watching Heero promise Relena he'll kill her. Again. "he's the perfect soldier" No he couldn't even get his gundam down to earth intact, jeez.

Regarding live-action adaptations, 0079's really the only one that'd actually be viable aside from maybe SeeD (which is pretty much the same story anyway). Wing and 00 are out, because the protagonists are basically terrorists on a global stage, AGE is AGE G Gundam exists as Robot Jox, Turn A Gundam I haven't seen so I can't comment on, Build Fighters just doesn't really translate outside of its intended format because of the in-jokes, and IBO would just be a major  for a bunch of reasons.

Also the entire novelty of the Turn A universe is that it's every Gundam universe so that pretty much crushes it's stand alone status.

Isn't the conceit of G-Reco that it is actually the UC thousands of years after the end of the UC timeline with the earth having miraculously not been wiped clean of all human life?

Arcsquad12 posted:Isn't the conceit of G-Reco that it is actually the UC thousands of years after the end of the UC timeline with the earth having miraculously not been wiped clean of all human life? G-Reco is 500 years after Turn A, so basically. I always took G-Reco as a portrait of post-war UC humanity, after X000 years humanity finally stopped bursting into war at the slightest provocation every generation and this is the weird and wacky world is what it looks like after that happened. The world still has problems and conflict still occurs, even descending into war, but the war was a lot smaller in G-Reco and the series ends with the cast concluding that the entire conflict was a huge goddamn mistake and sort of implying it would be a couple hundred more years before someone would come along who would be fool enough to start another and that even if they did it would probably end in roughly the same way. I took the overflowing verdure of the setting as a kind of metaphor for the state of the world, after completely loving up the planet in UC it recovered and got better for it and so did the people. It's a wonky series but I still dig it.

Within the show, G-Reco is quite specifically post-UC, as late as episode 24. Presumably Tomino later decided he'd prefer his most current work to be final and definitive in-universe, and just declared it so without regard to the content and context. I haven't watched Turn A - even though it's been over 3 years since it was announced for a UK release and then delayed, I want to support Gundam coming out here and can't justify buying it twice - but I can't see that continuity shuffle adding anything worth discarding what's presented in the show.

It doesn’t matter if Turn A or G-Reco is the farthest future of the UC or AUs. They’re both so disconnected from all the other series that it’s enough to have the UC in the distant past of both of them and neither Turn A nor G-Reco appears in the other show.

The G-Lucifer can do the Moonlight Butterfly, so that would put G-Reco after Turn A.
