Billzasilver posted:Did anyone watch Star Wars episode 8 and think of the commanders on all sides being realistic talentless hacks? Not really. They all seemed like exceptional talentless hacks. As astounding as real military failures can be, it's pretty uncommon to have leadership lose due to falling for prank calls or provoking a mutiny by the most loyal officers within the first day on the job. And unlike the typical example in LoGH, we were supposed to take the Resistance fuckups as essentially competent people. Kind of soured me on the film, to be honest.

Captain Cappy posted:Looks like character portrait from a terrible dating sim. Yeah. He's a GENERIC looking guy. Couldn't tell you one thing about him at a glance. Meanwhile, old school LGH designs ( despite the fact I really need to see the show to say more with authority) have some personality to them. You'd drink with original Yang. The new guys, less so.

Zero_Tactility posted:I've been rewatching the OVA more or less in parallel with Neue These, and I realized that people coming in fresh with the remake are missing out on this rousing speech by Yang before the 13th Fleet departs. Not exactly "Your granddaddy rode with the great Third Army and a son-of-a-goddamned-bitch named George Patton!", but it has a certain blunt appeal.

Baloogan posted:we find out about the locket then, plus trunhilt, plus Earth, plus soldiers running in stocking feet god drat this show is good and complicated. I wonder if a factor in the frustration at Yang might sometimes be approaching it from a more... American angle. The central American image of (former) military leadership taking over civilian government is George Washington. Generally, they love George, in control, women dig his snuff and his gallant stroll. He's thought of as someone who took power when the situation demanded it, and stepped down as soon as he felt he could. The first image to come to mind for the military is also the first image to come to mind when considering people who can be trusted with power. To put things very, very mildly, Japan didn't have the same experiences. Leads to rather different expectations, I would think.

Nick Soapdish posted:The Youths just don't love space operas apparently It's also a story with a lot of politics and consideration for wide strategic concerns. It's kind of a hard sell even if you're interested in space fights already, which is less popular these days anyway. Add on the new character designs turning off a lot of the people who'd usually be evangelizing it, and it's easy to see why it's not a big hit.

If you watch Jujutsu Kaisen, stay for the next episode preview this week. This has been a public service announcement. (This is the correct thread.)

OnimaruXLR posted:You gotta keep in mind how scale works in this setting. There are oodles of planets that have been colonized, with battles where the deathcount is routinely in the millions. It's smaller than you might think. The largest single battle in the war, the one that cripples the alliance and guarantees their loss, "only" had 22 million people involved on both sides. Now, that's pretty big, sure. 22 times the size of the Battle of the Bulge, give or take. But that was a war on one world, with a population of 2 billion. Two multi-planetary governments fighting for the fate of the whole galaxy "only" sending 22 times that is on the modest side. (Then again, the history of LoGH has a lot of mass die-offs, without the horniness of UC Gundam to get everyone back in shape in time for the next one. Total population pool is probably lower than you'd expect.)
