War and Pieces posted:if I were to watch just enough to get a feel for it when should I stop? for some reason the first time i tried watching it, i stalled at eps 11-12. second attempt watching was a smooth shot through, though of course that beginning chunk of 4 eps gets kinda botched by the model kit mandates.

Seed is the worst Gundam i've seen and the only things left to dethrone it are Age or Destiny

aside from age and destiny i'm expecting the other stuff i haven't seen to cap out at fine (00, unicorn, igloo). didn't care for ibo s2 much so that's like what people usually experience with 00 i guess. sd force seems like an incredibly ugly but competently written kids show so far. like an inverse divers

It is still bad but at least in a 'what the gently caress' way instead of like AGE tier 'boring as poo poo' i thought about making a more serious post along those lines but at this point just consider my enjoyment of victory, brain powerd etc irreconcilable differences for the thread lol

you get Natarle as a competent and potentially interesting character so Ramius can be further undercut by comparison, so it's really a mixed bag.

the guys in the laser were already on track for a mutiny before they arrive so it doesn't seem like they really tipped the scales

ImpAtom posted:The laser got fuckin' fired. If Athrun and Cagalli hadn't gone it would have nuked the Earth because Athrun blows up his suit and Cagalli saves Athrun's rear end. They are pretty much singlehandedly responsible for the Earth not being nuked because lord knows Kira wasn't helping. i mean if we entertain hypotheticals, i don't see why the room full of people who didn't support Zala's order to begin with couldn't do something about the laser firing without needing Athrun. not to mention it struck me as strange that self-destructing the base could still cause the laser to fire at all. that's mainly why Athrun feels superfluous to me there, aside from them obviously using it to cap off a few things for his character.

ImpAtom posted:Because presumably if they could they would have done it? Your hypothetical is "Well what if a thing there is no evidence for happened just so I can say a character is useless." what more evidence do you need than the room was full of guys we see disobeying his order to fire? he has to shoot a dissenter and hit the button himself before getting killed, because nobody in the room wants to shoot Earth at that point. then Athrun and Cagalli entering triggers everyone to leave, because enemy combatants, with the selfdestruct coming up later. there's also the later scene where Yzak's mom is in a room of guys gasping about the shot aimed at Earth so in general, plenty of ZAFT show opposition that could conceivably have turned to acting to stop it. the other angle to why Athrun feels unnecessary here is they let the background guys deal with Zala literal seconds before Athrun walks in. so no dad confrontation or anything like that. dogsicle fucked around with this message at 13:10 on Jun 22, 2022 |

ImpAtom posted:They literally say it can't be stopped. and we see it stopped, somehow. i don't think "blowing up a mobile suit next to the gun" is a super unique Athrun thing unless we need to obey additional levels of contrivance like only the Gundam's nuclear engine can do the right explosion to somehow disperse an already fired death laser. it's a series of scenes that more effectively set up dissent and humanity in ZAFT rank and file than justifying Athrun's presence or importance to me.

Turn A has insanely good action animation for the mech fights and you've even got on-foot stuff like the South America arc. obviously this stuff is quite spaced out in a yearlong tv series, i just hold skepticism about the general underestimation of attention span (which seemed like prevailing wisdom at the time). but i would've definitely put my money on X anyway.chiasaur11 posted:Still, if I had to blame one show for the failure of Gundam in the US, I'd say Superior Defenders gets the gold. i feel like this must've largely been because the target audience of the show is way younger than everything else on Toonami, though yeah it's ugly and the dub is nothing special. just can't imagine those latter two were as much of issues back then, especially with people overlooking Wing's dub.

it works well enough in terms of the character designs and the action scenes read like a game cutscene or something. feel like the off-putting aspects come more into play with their inability to do good expressions/character animation for the humans, and the environments are very flat-looking ugly expanses. i like the mayor character's thing of being an artist so you get cool 2d pieces like this contrasting everything else
