It's Suletta Sunday! Why the hell are mobile suits so fucking huge? Mechs are cool and all, but not when they're the size of skyscrapers. Even the franchise itself seems to wish the damn things were way smaller ever since F91. And it's not like you can't just make them a more reasonable 3-4 meters(yes, like VOTOMS). What, gunpla sales are gonna tank solely because the in-universe average height of the robots isn't XBAWKS HEUG? Please. And yes, this is something that has bothered my for decades. Gundam is supposed to be the codifier of the "real" robot sub genre, and yet they can't be arsed to take the very obvious step to make them more visually plausible. Come on.
>>287718903They should be bigger.
>>287719861Them being so huge is stupid.
>>287720449BIGGER.
>>287720449Depends what they're for. If it's urban guerilla yes a big size is stupid. But if it's meant to destroy a giant laser of death or slap colonies into the earth, bigger is better.
>>287720735There's a reason it's called the Psycho Gundam. The Titans are fucking insane and just as bad as the Zeons. The entire point of the Psycho and its sequel is that their mere existence is utter madness. >>287720838>But if it's meant to destroy a giant laser of death or slap colonies into the earth, bigger is better.That's what mobile armors are for, and at that point, you might as well just admit that you're a supervillain.
>>287720961'Psycho' is a mistranslation. Its actually called the Saiko Gundam because it is unparalleled in being a cool robot.
>>287718903I'm truly sorry to hear about your terminal case of gay.
>>287721124>"If you disapprove of stupidly impractical engineering, you're GAY!"And retards like you wonder why "traditional" masculinity is falling out of favor. You also wonder why the general publish hates mechs, and you just refuse to acknowledge that conversation altogether.
>>287721840Yeah, nobody cares about that.
So the wfmfag is the schizo spammer of ms being useless? Everything checks out actually.
>>287721840I don't understand why this bothers you but other unrealistic stuff like cloning and psychics is fine
>>287722582Because series is ostensibly trying to pretend that this shit is grounded. Having the mechs be so huge works entirely against the image and tone that Gundam has attempted to cultivate. And don't tell me to just get over it and turn my brain off. That's how we end up with nonsense like GN particle magic fairy dust, or whatever the fuck was going on in GQuuuuuuX's ending. Fuck that.
>>287722500And that is why Gundam is, and to some extent always has been, TRASH. You should care if you actually want this thing to be genuinely good for once.
>>287722539Or just coopting it as their excuse to shitpost today. Look at that instant change to their preferred topic.
Can I get some opinions on WfM that aren’t from pro or anti yuri schizos
>>287722780No, seriously, nobody gives a crap about that.
>>287722707>Because series is ostensibly trying to pretend that this shit is grounded.>Gundam has attempted to cultivate. "Real robot" is a marketing term invented for SRW btw.
>>287721098Here is your (you) for making me laugh
That sounds sarcastic but oh well I thought it was hilarious
>>287722897No.
>>287722897Sure anon. I really enjoyed EP 0 but I just couldn't get in to the school setting of the actual series 4-5eps in I want to give it another try someday.
>>287722977>>287722999>>287723055
>>287722897Ignore the opinions of others, watch it and htink for yourself.
>>287718903>Gundam is supposed to be the codifier of the "real" robot sub genre,it's not, stop taking srw lingo seriously.
S2 should've canonized FelChu
>>287722906Then you deserve your slop, piggy. >>287722976>>287723095Speaking of shit nobody cares about. Take your irrelevant SRW garbage and shove it back up your ass. Everyone recognizes the terms real and super robot. Those are very real subgenres whether you like it or not.
>>287723148Oh ok, then post an article or interview or anything where Tomino differentiates between his real & super robot works.
>>287723221Not up to him. It's a cultural thing that has been well established over the course of decades.
>>287722539I'm pretty sure one person is responsible for 20% of board activity
>>287723285Why are you holding his anime to the standards of a culture he does not partake in and did not exist when he made said anime?
>>287724224You have made so many accidental metaphors with the question, I don't even know where to fucking start. To answer that question though, it's because nobody has control over how an artistic work is perceived. If Tomino has a problem with people labeling his story "real robot", that's too fucking bad.
>>287724696Why would people label Gundam as real robot if excessively large robots are not real
>>287724986Because it's not literal, you disingenuous retard. The "real" part refers to the grounded tone that focuses on presenting mechs as plausible technology. Fuck you and die.
I wanted to buy the Suletta trading card but then I saw it was $700 so I didn’t. That is my recent lore thinking about Suletta. I might buy her official playmat for Yugioh but it’s also $75 but I looks nice.
>>287725079It doesn't focus on presenting mechs as plausible technology though, thus the psycho gundam
>>287725124>$700What the fuck?
>>287725222https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/616605/gundam-card-game-edition-beta-suletta-mercury-cplusIt’s probably because the card game isn’t that popular.
>>287725359The art is so cute. But yeah, who was asking for a Gundam trading card game?
>>287722897The show is a mess. It’s at best when it’s a high school drama mixed with mecha duels. Then they start shoving in all the politics, characters and companies and you are overwhelmed. Season 2 pushes this even further and feels incredibly rushed. It really needed 48 episodes to work. There is just too many fucking characters and their parents and the companies they represent and they’re all trying to buy each other then the show ends with a giant Death Star Suletta has to blow up that was never mentioned before.
Reminder.
>>287725126Yeah it's really not, it's a far cry from something like Votoms.But this is why Votoms is better. 0079 is so good except for the fact the robots are stupid pew pew pew fantasy toy shit.
>>287726412Wiseman is less realistic than any mechanical design to ever appear in a Gundam.
>>287726412>Votoms is betterNo it isn't. It's about the same.
Gundam is stupid, and it's sad that people are so in denial about it.
She do be ballin'.
>>287728064Windmills and ships are stupid now???
>>287722897Season two felt incredibly lackluster, especially since the finale of season one made it seem like we were finally getting back to the tone set up by the prologue. Almost as if they switched writers for some reason. It was genuinely baffling to see them go back to school as if nothing had happened and the show suffered greatly for it. There should’ve been fifty episodes, fourty at the minimum, like a proper Gundam series.
>>287728177No amount of being a disingenuous cunt will EVER justify the abject retardation of G Gundam. You are a garbage eating subhuman, and you need to kill yourself.
>>287728592Least mentally ill reaction to a joke ever had
>>287728971That's a mentally ill shitposter who rants about G Gundam routinely
>>287729205So what would happen to alleged adults who spend years shitposting about toys?The more you say these things are totally unworthy of any time or consideration, the more curious it becomes that you spend so much time preaching about it.
>>287718903A gundam or mobile suit is normally the length of a fighter jet positioned vertically.The F-15 Eagle has a length of approximately 63 feet 8-9 inches (19.43–19.44 meters)
>>287729136Very sad to see how many different schizos are latching onto Gundam these days. Can only hope society wakes up and starts putting the mentally ill to death like they used to in the good ol' days
>>287729239I want you to stop playing with toys, retard. >>287729317F-15s are useless, obsolete pieces of shit that are raping taxpayer dollars by existing.
>>287729359>I want you to stop playing with toysBut what you're doing is no less wasteful, you're wasting time shitposting for years
>>287729780So do you also advocate that adults should stop watching cartoons and reading comics?
>>287723120I still believe.
Will Sequel be Yuri again?
>>287731315>yuritroonThe deranged shitposter is you
>>287718903>>287719861>>287720449Did everyone forget comparisons like these exist? Gundam's only a little bigger than fighter jets that already exist. That's mostly to say that real life fighter jets are gigantic.
>>287729359All military equipment is a waste of money spent mainly for deterrence purposes. They're not the ideal jet but the fact that they can sit on aircraft carriers means China and Russia have to think differently or some shit. And why are you getting bent out of shape at the mere mention of something on an anime forum? Are you sure you're not the useless and obsolete one yourself?
>>287731253After the massive backlash in Japan, I'm sure Sunrise would love to make a Guelsule ending on a manga or a novel but they can't because the west
>>287722897Ignoring the fact that WfM was funded entirely by USAID money, it's a mess of a show that throws away intriguing sub-plots to focus on a shitty protag.
>>287723120>>287731209Shippers are deranged idiots.
>>287718903No mekas in here, only moe energy membranes!Fuck your logias! You are the retardz
>>287731209Felsi is alone
>>287734329>Petra ditched her for a mentally ill brocon>Chuchu would rather flirt with Secelia's shota>Guel banished her to some warehouseShe put her life on the line multiple times and this is how they repay herBeing Felsi is suffering
>>287735073
>>287718903At the time the first Gundam came out 18 m was pretty standard mecha height, Tetsujin 28 and Mazinger are both 18 mWith Z, ZZ and CCA suits got larger but the setting was predominantly space, late UC suits got smaller but with newer series after that 18 m returned to being the standard I guess it works well for 1/144 kits and is also grampa's height
>>287731468The F-15 and F-16 are like babies compared to size of the Su-27, which is as big as a B-17.
>>287718903>And yes, this is something that has bothered my for decadesI doubt it. You are giving the impression that your are one of the subhumans who latched on to the franchise because of the homo shipping and have terraformed the fan spaces.>they're the size of skyscrapersThey are not.>Even the franchise itself seems to wish the damn things were way smaller ever since F91Mobile Suits in UC became smaller over time because the pew pew was too op so instead designers focused on making the target smaller.
>>287722897It's good but it'd have been great if it had more episodes
>>287722897Season 1 is good and the concept of "Utena but Gundam" was an interesting idea, S2 however feels rushed and you really feel the need for more eps by the end.Overall it's far from the best Gundam but also far from the worst and I personally think it's enjoyable and the mech designs are good.
>>287718903Man, I remember how weird the plot was near the end. Like Elan never actually doing anything, and the massive reliance on Newtype magic at the end.Wow, having a lesbian protagonist really insulated them from anything cruel or interesting happening, didn't it? In the final battle literally no-one was trying to kill anyone else lol.
