even if garma could have done something different and survived, he wouldn't have. char manipulated him into that situation while perfectly understanding garma's simple personality. it's kind of questionable that char would perfectly understand what someone who had never experienced a crisis would do in a crisis, but that's oyw char for you.

there is never going to be a gundam show about mass produced grunts fighting mass produced grunts. it would be inimical to gunpla sales.

I’ve always heard that the high prices are because Japanese companies are worried that people in Japan would just import the international versions if they were priced reasonably.

that's happened a few times.

the federation doesn't do anything on the scale of invading mars after the oyw. at most they might put together a fleet in response to some threat, but they moan and groan about having to do even that much.

The math for Wing suits makes even less sense than normal giant robot math, so who knows? A Leo is a 16 meter tall giant robot that weighs a grand total of 7 tons, despite supposedly being made of titanium.

they are made of titanium and explosions. the latter material is very lightweight.

with grunt suits, the only metrics are how cool they look and whether 3 of one kind can beat 2 of another. it's not like they are ever a threat to gundams or other fancy custom units.

i read that as being a gently caress you, not a serious attempt at killing amuro. the nightingale has so many freaking weapons and char knows how to kill a mobile suit pilot. it's one of the very few things he can do well, after all.

for all that uc gundam spends a lot of time on how evil cyber newtype development is, it really does work. it's just that cyber newtypes can't possibly beat stronger natural newtypes in gundams. of course, no one except bright expects gundam protagonists to show up and muck about all these super weapons that run on cruelty even though that happens every time.

r-reco should have spent more time on the story than on fights, sure. that's probably true for most gundam shows. however, the many grunt and one-off mechs in g-reco were excellent so it wasn't all bad.

like everyone in wing, zechs was completely loving nuts. it's just that he was still more sane than char.

emma was a space nazi who somehow had no idea she was a space nazi until her space nazi peers murdered a hostage. it's not like the titans were ever within shouting distance of subtlety, so they didn't really bother to conceal the kind of organization it was. i wouldn't really call her stupid, but the lady was the universal champion of being oblivious.

sayla definitely had the capability to fill char's role of mysterious subversive ace pilot, but i'm not sure what possible circumstances would actually make her do so. she never really gave a poo poo about any of the stuff that drove char.

if sayla had started piloting in space instead of after the white base came to earth she probably would have left amuro in the dust. she took to it crazy fast and started developing newtype abilities almost immediately after they returned to space.

i don't think anyone expected them to take the single most insane and self-defeating option possible. loading everyone up on side 3 and riding it into the ocean as a vendetta against whales would make more sense.

I mean, even before the negotiations started, Gihren was running a longterm shadowy plot to frame his sister for trying to murder him so he could have her dealt with.

Those family issues were pretty much going to explode one way or the other even before the patricide. Gihren just ensured that it'd be a clean sweep.

and kycilia was also completely focused on amassing resources for her inevitable succession conflict against gihren. the early successes of zeon had absolutely nothing to do with that idiot family.

there have been so many zeon remnant factions that there's no reason why gihren couldn't have made one, too.

it was really funny how at the end there weren't really any second tier good guys left standing to fight alongside allenby. so, they pulled out the sinister blind assassin as a newly valiant heroic figure. the guy who compensated for his blindness with hearing. in space. piloting the mandala gundam, which is a serious contender for goofiest gundam in the show which is saying an awful lot. even better, the mermaid gundam pilot was a good guy who only had to retire because his gundam broke down. also, they pumped out a bunch of mermaid gundams in a background shot. he did not return for the final battle.
