The events of Zeta pretty much sums up why. The actions of a faction (Titans) from the Earth Federation forces has cannonically killed millions while trying to destroy any Zeon remnants/sympathizers. Then Char makes the realisation that Earth will never change and if they continue to exist, another Titans faction will pop up and try to do the same shit again.

I wonder how many mass killings have happened in UC. IT really does shape up to be just the worst fucking timeline. Why does no one target industrial bases so that the other side can no longer pump out mobile suits?
I'll tell you why, the one year war, and all subsequent conflicts were orcastrated by Anaheim Electronics and Zeonic.They don't attack each others industrial base because they share that industrial base. The entire story of the UC is the military Industrial complex eating itself so that it can make more money.

>>709823542
He used his charisma to lure in spacenoids and Zeon sympathizers to his cause, to justify his own psycho moral crusade that is basically his usual sociopathic tendencies with no more plot of revenge to temper them and angst from what happened to Kamille driving him to extremes. He was never meant to actually make a point, the point is war broke him and Char functionally became everything he was rather than a masked identity he hid behind, with all the necessity for "violence for a greater cause" that inclines.

The fact that he's technically right about how Earth would just repeat their mistakes boils down to the fact that even his insane ass can see it and Amuro was too optimistic, but that's the UC for you.
>>
gimme the QRD on gquuuuuuux please
from what I heard on /v/ it's a fanfic Anno wrote while he was in highschool - Char gets to steal the Gundam, Zeon wins the one year war and then what happens afterwards is an abridged version of Zeta Gundam

>>709828043
That's not exactly correct other than Char stealing the gundam and preventing the white base from lauching. Zeon wins the war, but doesn't have the manpower or resources to enforce its conquest so there are still fed and independent colonies. Zeon itself isn't united because of a Kyacilla and a Ghiren faction being at a cold stalemate.

>>709828362
It's hilarious to me that in gquux even without the gundam and whitebase it still took Zeon a year to win the war, making it look like Amuro's contributions meant fuck all in the grand scheme of things.
>>
>>709824143
It isn't, at least not intentionally. The western fanbase has some odd delusions about what Char was going on about and, coupled with too much Tomino dickriding, made a retarded headcanon that is passed around as gospel instead of just taking things at face value.
That being said, CCA's story is horseshit and Tomino is a hack. Char's character only became more flaccid as UC progressed and attempting to bring back the rivalry with Amuro did nothing to restore the presence he had in the original series.

>>709828640
What? You're forgetting that in this timeline since the Gundam was stolen successfully, the EF didn't get the pilot data to make the Jims fucking halfway useful.
>>
>>709829694
Yes. but it still took Zeon a year to win the war.
Basically you could have dropped Amuro in at the last battle and that would be the only thing that changes who wins, because everything still took a year to wrap up.

Even with Amuro the solar ray towards the end of the war changed a lot
>>
>>709829839
>>709828640
A big plot point in the OYW is that most of the veterans were dead, and even with their technology advantage via Mobile Suits, the Zeon were still stuck in a stalemate relying on classic spy and espionage tactics to hope to gain any footholds. Early-gen mobile suits pre-Gundam were still susceptible to good old tank decking and local AA weaponry or the like. Even with the Gundam at his disposal before it was submitted for testing, presumably Char didn't want the Zabis to claim victory too readily, and it likely took Zeon a while to understand exactly how the Gundam worked for future production purposes, whereas the Federation in canon would assemble Amuro's combat data and what the White Base went through to greatly accelerate their progression.

It was always something of a fickle point that required a couple key turns at the tail end of the conflict, and the Gundam itself only turned the tides because it was a stalemate buster thrown at major objectives and enemy strongholds. Without that and the known Zabi in-fighting, I can imagine that even having that buster on their side didn't instantly grant Zeon the victory.
>>
>>709829839
Are you forgetting the fact that Zeon had to go into hiding for the most part after losing in the main storyline? Or the fact that anyone Zabi related had to fucking hide who they were or risk being attacked by the two sets of psychos, one that was born in the EF but was only created because Gato is a retard and really should have suffered a hell of a lot more before dying.

I'd enjoy this clever burn, unfortunately Char has often admitted to being an aimless temperamental cunt when the whim takes him, rather than learning from it he goes on to survive and be admired in-universe and with viewers, so there's little that can be said that will affect that.

There's a reason the ace jerk archetype took off in anime. Guys wants to be him, girls want to be with him.

IMO, the non-gundam designs are pretty cool. Almost all the Zeon suits are classic designs. All of the Gundam motif designs range from meh to okay.

Later series really like to downplay how important Amuro and the rest of the White Base crew were to the Federation war effort. Watching 0079 itself, it's quite clear that Amuro and co. were instrumental in keeping the Federation from being defeated and in creating the resurgence that defeated Zeon.
>>
I hope that when they add Yuri Gundam, Tomboy edition, they give us the option to save this MILF from her pointless death in hands of the male main character nobody gives a shit about. Hell, she denies their existence but she ironically is a newtype, maybe if Amuro is there during her canon death event he can change that.

>Yuri Gundam, Tomboy Edition
That's basically the entirety of Code Fairy, which Scamco still hasn't yet to port to PC.
>>
>>709837357
Because the original Gundam took its time to highlight a pretty realistic reality: not all of Zeon are evil, and not all of the Federation are "good". Some grunts on the ground are perfectly humanized, affable and normal individuals that Amuro can sympathize with, while others will do horrible things like raid their own citizen's towns and homes for supplies and board. The generals up high range from incompetent to corrupt, the citizens shift between hating whoever's inconvenienced or hurt them the most. Half of the struggle of MSG was the White Base literally dealing with their own allies not sending them reinforcements and proper resupplies because of petty disagreements and jealousy, since the Earth Federation had become so complacent in the status quo even in the middle of the war that they hated some non-officer nobodies upstaging them.

Zeon wank AFTER MSG is certain creators being dipshits highlighting favoritism, in between almost every other story pointing out in contrast that no one wants a Neo-Zeon, and of course the Zeon wank stories all emphasize cool people doing cool things that make them ditch the corruption up high.

To be fair, in the novel version of the Gundam, Amuro dies like a while after the halfway point, and Char basically took over as the protagonist to fight Zeon.

Curious as to why. For me, the pacing of the story and episodes were pretty poor, the animation was mediocre for about 70% of it, and the more single episode stories were pretty weak. It has very few highs, not many good fights, and Allenby isn't Domon's love interest. Yes I am holding that against the show.

>The Psycolo Gundam is a recurring gag unit from the SD Gundam G Generation series. Its name is a play on words with the Psycho Gundam's name and the Japanese word for dice (サイコロ Saikoro?). It is literally just the head of the Psycho Gundam mounted on top of a white, mobile suit-sized six-sided die with the one pip as the forward-facing side. The one pip is large and painted red, which is traditional with Japanese dice, and it functions as a mega particle cannon. The other sides of the die are appropriately numbered with black pips which function as thrusters and missile launchers. Like other joke units in the series the Psycolo Gundam is very powerful.

Also, fortress mode is blocky as fuck.

His name. Char Aznable is a hero of the OYW and one of the last remnants of their glory days as the Principality of Zeon. Spacenoids are retarded and will do whatever a big name tells them to do.

>>709840049
The sentiment would've died off if not for Bask Ohm and the Titans doing the exact same things or worse for kicks, honestly. The Federation getting crazy motherfuckers to turn things around and be racist against spacenoids basically enabled the Zeon/Zabi dicksucking for generations to come.

The only real gripe I have with the show is that there were a few episodes that really didn't mean much, like the Canada episode or the one where Domon fights the guy from Neo India, but overall I really liked the majority of the episodes and I didn't think the animation was half bad, except for the episode where Domon arrives in Shinjuku, that one had some shit animation moments also even if some episodes weren't all that relevant I wasn't ever bored to death at any point, but I think the show has its highest point at the final stretch, when all the big plot points are being resolved, even if I think Ulube being the big bad was a tad strange, also regarding Allenby, there is an ancient saying...

Gundam has to be one of the lowest IQ scifi franchises in history. Transformers and Post-original Star Wars look intellectual by comparison. I hate Tomino, and I don't get how people can actually like 90% of these shows. The original is decent for the time, but holy shit Zeta and ZZ are painful to get through, and CCA is the cherry on top of a shit sundae. Sadly they're not even bad in a funny way. I guess Tomino spent all of his funny awful on Ideon, which to be fair is one of the funniest anime ever made, I just don't think Tomino knew that.

Pic related pretty much sums up the writing for every single character in UC Gundam.

Char was a great pilot but always portrayed as a league below main characters like Amuro, Kamille, Scirocco, Yazan, etc. By the end of the original series Char is piloting the pinnacle of technology in a massive and insanely fast suit with tracking laser hands against a wildly outdated Gundam and he still gets his shit rocked. It was never his piloting skills that mattered it was his charisma, which Zeta and CCA showed by having him get his ass kicked constantly and making the biggest difference on television instead.
So whenever Origin or GQuxs portrays him as the ultimate badass I chuckle too

I have no idea why zekes keep pushing the idea the niggers on earth are the real problem
I dunno, but between Zeon, zanscare and the crossbone vanguard all fucking spacenoids governments are absolutely batshit insane.
I don't know if it's the lack of gravity or water mined from asteroid ice, but there is something going on up there that is making them act like raging lunatics.

Only in later material, going through the original series and even Zeta, there's very little that shows how the Federation was causing so much harm and distress on the colonies. It's only in novels that try to justify Zeon's horseshit that you start running into really fucking comically evil Federation leadership. At least they're not the Earth Alliance in being absolutely retarded gremlins.

Watch the original tomino trilogy series+ CCA and you can watch whatever.

As everyone else said, 0079 > Z > ZZ > CCA and then you're good to watch whatever. F91 and Victory Gundam are the things that happen post-CCA under Tomino's supervision, and there are plenty of side story OVAs. The AUs can be watched without watching the quadrilogy, except Turn A Gundam which I would recommend watching at earliest after the quadrilogy and ideally after you've watched a bunch of the side UC stuff too

>whiplash with Zeta
ZZ isn't as bad as people make out but I would recommend not watching ZZ immediately after Zeta, take a break and watch something else so the whiplash doesn't get to you. Tomino likes doing light shows after dark shows (Daitarn 3 after Zambot 3, Xabungle after ideon etc.), and that's not a problem when they're their own stories but it does lead to whiplash when one is a direct sequel to the other. His non-Gundam stuff is for the most part pretty good, I'd recommend Ideon, Xabungle or L-Gaim if you want to watch a break show that maintains Tomino's writing.

I dunno man. Part of being an all time char clone is being able to turn everyone around you into a retard who will buy any nonsense about your hidden identity, like Char convincing people that he's wearing a mask because of a medical condition which could have very easily been verified by looking up Char Aznable's medical history.

Kamille was seem running along with Fa on a beach at the end of ZZ, he started the series mute and stuck in a bed. He definitely improved, though how much and if it was enough to return to to how he was at the end of the Zeta isn't clear, as he doesn't really physically speak throughout ZZ.

My headcanon, and probably real canon, is that Char didn't give a a fuck about Kamille as a person, since he never visits Kamille after Zeta. He cared about the abstract idea of Kamille as representing the next generation of newtypes who would lead humanity to the future, and once this hope was dashed, stopped giving a fuck.

F91 was him overextending his plans excessively, CCA was supposed to be an OVA, but then the execs wanted to dump more money into it for a movie, so instead of having a 3-4 hours to tell CCA with a smaller budget, he now had to condense that into 2 hours while having more money, but also a shorter timetable to get the story and the animation done.

If you don't get the federation being a stand in for the Soviet Union and other communist shitholes, with the characters using an obvious egalitarian uniform like the Soviets did, I don't know what to tell you. But more importantly, an "enemy" like Zeon which is a literal fucking colony with low resources is not formidable at all. From a storytelling point, is fucking lame because the Federation already has everything on their side including the Gundam. I thought the show was building up to something better but seems that it stays in the trap in following seasons. What a shame.

I dunno. I think this is just typical 4chan reductio ad absurdum.
Because I just started watching MS Gundam, and while Zeon is always depicted as "evil" aesthetically, their leaders are, so far, basically always depicted as being good and noble people. Minus M'Quve or whatever his name is. Meanwhile the Federation are basically doing war crimes and press ganging kids into military service.

Maybe things change as I get further into it, but it seems to me that Zeon looks evil and is said to do evil things, but the leadership are all noblesse oblige and the Feddies are all incompetent bureaucrats.

Nta but...what? The Federation is just a standin for the bog standard "western liberal consensus democracies" of the 50s-70s, warts and all. Zeon on the other hand, is just straight up Imperial Japan of the 1940s, Tomino doesn't even hide that fact, he grew up in the aftermath of the devastation that Imperial Japan's warmongering brought upon his country.

The thing about Zeon is that generally speaking it's a faction of ostensibly decent people so swept up in nationalism and blind loyalty to a cause they do unfathomably evil deeds.

The big problem with IBO is that everyone but the last-second asspull villain is absurdly incompetent. Everyone makes the wrong choice at every juncture, except for him, who magically makes every correct one. Tekkadan doesn't fall prey to their own lapsing morals, or violent natures, they fall prey to the fact that this general happens to have found the author's pen on the ground and is writing the goddamned story as a self-insert fanfic.

It's boring, and doesn't feel connected to the themes or character development of the cast; it's just a sledgehammer that gets dropped on them at the end.

In the opening weeks of the war, Zeon kills more human beings than all the humans that have ever died up to that point, combined. They killed on such a massive scale that they beat the K/D ratio of DEATH ITSELF.

They are the most comically omnicidal faction imaginable, which is why despite any qualms the heroes have about the occasional good person on Zeon's side, Zeon is still beyond any doubt the villain.

Tomino showed Zeon as properly evil, the leadership at least. The grunts were shown to fight evenly with feddies once the GMs roll out. Just watch the final episodes of the original series, both sides were shown losing suits about as often.

It's only the later UC shows where every Zeon grunt was portrayed as an honorable supersoldier capable of mowing down GMs with a 10 to 1 loss ratio.

Honestly felt he sowed the seeds with ramba ral. An entire arc about a dude who's incredibly noble and respectable even while serving the villains of the story, so it feels like a lot of it is just continuing that trend. They also just can't do it as good.

Is this the power of the so called media literacy? Half of the fucking western hemisphere were dictatorships during that period because it was the cold war.

That other anon feels like he hit it on the head. IBO follows the classic crime story arc. I haven't watched much Yakuza films, but even western mafia films do the same thing.
Scrappy crime stuff. We get to know and love the characters who do bad stuff for a living. Things get better, they get more successful. They do something that gets them in over their heads. Everything collapses like a house of cards around them and the ending feels like a slow moving trainwreck and nothing the characters can do will stop it. Its a really common arc and IBO followed it pretty closely.

Yeah the General dude just going "nuh uh I thought of that already" feels a bit dickish, but thats part of the getting in over your head part. Tekkadan attracted the wrong enemy and got squashed.

It's really not. It just is. Fiction in all genre is rife with tragic or otherwise non-happy endings. It just happens that for crime/gangster related flicks, endings that aren't all sunshine and rainbow is the majority. A perfect example for this is how The Graduate ends.
>>
>>709846707
The thing about Ramba Ral though is that he's also clearly just a pawn in Zeon's schemes, constantly getting yanked around and underappreciated by the higher-ups, getting passed over for the Doms, and so on. He was a noble person, but it was also shown just how isolating it could be to be a good man in Zeon's military structure.

Honestly everyone that isn't able to die rich and get fat off of the conflicts, or be able to do as they please for crazy bullshit with a blank check, suffers in the Universal Century. Go figure, the main villains are either these exact people, or "my way or the highway" people who come to believe their factional ideologies are the only way for humanity to progress. There's never been a genuinely reasonable primary antagonist in the mainline franchise, even shit like Full Frontrol are horribly written and Bananahanger just happens to be retarded enough to almost believe him; all the reasonable people die, suffer miserably, or barely get to walk away.

You can be deliberately following an established genre beat and still fail at it, which IBO does with Rustal. He saps the struggle out of the final arc, and instead makes it a boring and utterly predictable slow roll. He's not so menacing he fills the final arc with dread as to how the protagonists can't seem to slow him down, or so clever that you feel rewarded for watching how he outwits the heroes. He just magically DOES shit and the explanation is "Well I'm just better." That is criminally boring.

Garma is depicted as being a generally nice and noble Zeon as well.
I don't think its a coincidence that the first three Zeon leadership we see are basically all proper Nobles. Char is immediately somewhat likeable, Garma is charismatic and nice, and Ramba Ral is the definition of a military gentleman. The first "bad" Zeon we see is M'Quve. Furthermore the first few direct interactions the white base has with grunts are universally just dudes either following orders or doing the right thing. Hell the White Base is doing a literal war crime hiding the Gundam in a civilian transport, meanwhile the Zeons are trying to guide a war widow home.

I don't think there are supposed to be white and black good and bad guys in MS Gundam. Later stuff? Haven't got there yet, can't comment. But so far it seems like everyone is being depicted as just trying to do the right thing as they see it.

Remember that all this is in the context of those grunts "following orders or doing the thing" gassing very literal tens of millions of their fellow Spacenoids, that they had ostensibly been fighting to liberate - itself a war crime if you're keeping score - before dropping their now-empty colonies onto the Earth and killing over half of humanity.

>>709847343
>If Zeon had the power to kill billions of people, and the federation couldn't stop them, why they keep losing their wars when they have that much power?
Zeon began the war with the advantage in mobile suits which allowed them to overwhelm and ravage the Earth Federation's space fleets, which were the only line of defense for how Zeon killed that many people - dropping the other space colonies onto the Earth like asteroid impacts.

People over here bitching about Rustal which is reasonable enough, but frankly the main cast were so boring in their own right.
>Mikazuki isn't allowed to lose until Rustal overwhelms him at the very end, if he gets shipped into a fight he'll drive everything off or murderhobo
>Orga gets this dramatic thing of whether or not Mikazuki is pushing him into worse decisions as a brotherly expectations problem, and he's the only main character of Tekkadan with a significant arc that matters to the overall plot - oops he died in the disco fever pose all the sudden, there goes our only interesting "hero"
>everyone else is either just a soldier with personal issues that are melodrama dragging out a fight from being resolved, support that are there to tell the heroes the plot and angst when someone dies, or the two waifus that jump mikazuki's dick
>literally EVERY OTHER FACTION is more interesting than our heroes because they actually have characters, arcs, deaths that cause drama, interconnectivity thanks to McGillis' machinations, and everyone moving to outplot each other with Takkadan being the boring intermediary of merc work that isn't very mercenary
A crime drama makes me feel upset when the characters get shit on by the end because despite knowing their dark sides, a good one still got me to root for them. The only reason I didn't root for Rustal was how terrible of a character he was, because otherwise I had no reason to give a flying fuck about Tekkadan but the two bisexual girls that wanted to get themselves filled with baby batter.

>>709847343
nta. but the legendary colony drop was just a surprise attack the feds werent prepared for. but now both sides are, that is why Zeon never did something like that again and that is why they didnt do any more mass murders: because they couldnt, people were already expecting them and had measures against them.

Because ruling over something is different from destroying it, retard. You need way more logistics, manpower and more to control something over levelling it. Where do you think they get food and water from, the moon?
Not-Zeons does do what you say in Gundam X. The result is all of them suffering from thirst and starvation. The Jupiter Empire is always dying from thirst and starvation. GUNDAM GQUUUX LITERALLY HAS IT AS A MAJOR PLOT POINT OF WHY ZEON CAN'T RULE EARTH, THEY DON'T HAVE THE NUMBERS AND RESOURCES TO DO SO, THEY CAN LEVEL THE EARTH, AND IT WOULD KILL THEM AFTERWARDS.

Okay but at the time all of those people I mentioned had been depicted, none of those things have been revealed to the audience.
The opening crawl of MS Gundam only says "within the first weeks of the war, over half of humanity had died" not ascribing those deaths to either side. It shows the colony drop, but not its context. For all the audience knows, the Federation could have dropped it.
You're dragging things into the discussion that happen later.

Very cool anon! You're half way through there. Now the only part left is where you discover you need those exact same resources if you're going to mass murder billions of people. No, weapons, money and combustible don't just spawn in your bank account with a receipt that says "you're the Nazis, here's your free evil fuel!". You need to pay for the bullets, the robots, the weapons, and everything else unless you plan to commit mass genocide with your hands and a stick. Until next lesson anon.

Technically the Gouf was specs equal to the Gundam, hence why Amuro had to actually start putting in more effort. The Doms were superior in almost all ways except of course the beam rifle, which hilariously didn't get countered until the BIG ZAM.
>>
>>709848212
It's actually kind of funny how much Tomino cared about logistics in a show that was still kind of weening off the super robot elements of anime prior. By the time the Gelgoog came out, in theory the Gundam should've been totally outtiered, but since nearly all the actually skilled pilots were dead by this point in the story, they had nothing but rookies to throw into these highly advanced mobile suits who couldn't even hope to take advantage of it, and no time to learn like Amuro did with the Gundam.

It's not helped that Amuro was just genuinely an unparalleled beast of a pilot by the last third of the series.

>>709848997
Lots of things went into Zeon's loss. Char killing Garma and Kycilla, Zeon wasting limited resources on one-off super weapons, Zabi killing each other, the Federation having 50x the production power, the Feds putting all their effort into one pretty good suit (GM) instead of bunch of random projects. Amuro certainly contributed, he held their attention for the early parts of the series and kept blowing up all of those one-off super weapons, but he certainly wasn't the deciding factor. The moment Revil convinced the Federation not to surrender was really the moment Zeon lost. They were never going to win a protracted war.

>the Feds putting all their effort into one pretty good suit (GM) instead of bunch of random projects.

I think Unicorn is basically the perfect example of wankery in the Universal Century when other writers miss the point. Everyone is melodramatic, everyone is angsty or an asshole, levity is minimal in favor of teen drama, and then it bends the setting, past motivations, tons of lore and concepts and the universe over to auto-fellatio itself over poorly devised moral lessons in a way that makes the Newtype messages of Tomino's era look downright soft and measured.
I'd rather watch Victory, F91, Stardust Memory and X in a row than ever bother with Unicorn ever again. Fucking Hathaway's Flash isn't even anywhere near as retarded.
>>
>>709850896
Did Jerid know that she was inside? I thought he was told it was a bomb which is why he destroyed it.
>>
>>709850946
Yeah, he was told to shoot a bomb and didn't have a clear shot of a woman being inside the tube. It's ridiculous in a realistic perspective, but from the show's they straight up show Jerid not actually knowing quite what the real deal was until it was too late. There's a reason he's later horrified to find out that was Kamille's mother, but he was way in too deep to back out of the Titans after that.
>>
>>709850918
Well the benefit to Hathaway's Flash is the story also tells you that Hathaway is just wasting his resources and efforts because it's still not far enough to make change, but also it's a shallow attempt at cynicism by masking it with faked optimism. Can't wait for ghost Quess to call him a fucking moron for still simping for her.
>>
>>709848212
Yeah, the Gundam is the product of Tem Ray's work. In the first half the father is protecting Amuro through the Gundam; guiding him, protecting him, and teaching him with every sortie, Amuro can't keep up with the Gundam's controls but the learning AI rounds out the edges. By around the two-thirds point Amuro has developed so much that now it's the Gundam that can't keep up with him. Amuro's reactions are faster than the Gundam's computer, and the maneuvers he pulls off put stress on the Gundam's frame. By that point Amuro could have beaten Char in a GM, Amuro no longer needed his father's protection via the Gundam and had truly grown into a man
