>nothing but praise from Gundam communities over this movie. >check multiple review aggregators, it generally scores 5.5-6.5The fuck is going on here? Is Hathaway worth watching or not? What's with the discrepancy?
>>23475330watch it and find out for yourself, retard.
>>23475330If you don't have 3 50 episode anime series from the 80s and 1 other anime movie for context, the movie is just mech porn and nothing else.If you do have that context, you want the MC to die and enjoy the mech porn.
>>23475330>Is Hathaway worth watching or not? What's with the discrepancy?The problem is Hathaway himself, it's a shitty movie and the only people praising it are redditors.>>23475340>the movie is just mech pornNot even that, how many fights it had? 2-3? And they lasted less than Hathaway's dignity.
>>23475330You're almost there. Gundam fans are familiar with the overarching story and HF's place in it while people who aren't familiar are rating it as a standalone experience. For what it's worth, i wasn't a fan of it either but maybe part 2 and 3 can turn things around for me.
>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I CAN'T MAKE MY OWN OPINIONS PLEASE I NEED A PEER REVIEWED CONCENSUS OR ELSE I MIGHT FALL VICTIM OF THE WRONG OPINION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>23475340>enjoy the mech porn.Did you actually watch it?
>>23475376This is why the most main stream anime are the most popular ie cowbew bebop or Evangelion.They're overhyped by a PEER REVIEWED CONCENSUS. Tho i got mixed feelings on all that. Because folks like that have shit taste & lack experience or exposure.
>>23475376not wasting your time if it can be avoided is honorable and a fuck you to the makers who produced the slop, solely made to waste your time and laugh in your face for having succeeded
>>23475380>>23475353I liked the fights, but I may have been wowed by the good HDR work on an OLED. It made the beams and explosions pop in a good way.
>>23475330As a single film it's a shit standalone movie.
>>23475330Saad to say there's not much interesting stuff after unless they do original content. We know how it ends.
>>23475330>Gundam communitiesI think Gundam discussion outside of /m/ is pretty awful and not to be trusted (not that /m/ is good but its not constantly awful).>check multiple review aggregators, it generally scores 5.5-6.5Who gives a shit about reviews from a literal who who probably thinks some battle manga series is the peak of anime.
>>23476414THIS
>>23475330The main character is lame, and the story is strange for a standalone movie. The only good point is the mecha battle, but it's too dark and the audience can't fully see the CGI models. So it's annoying to mecha fans. Not sure why the director wants the battle shrouded in darkness.
>>23475330Why do you care? You can literally read the entire novel online.Hathaway fights a little bit more, but then the Feds use an electric NET and Hathaway crashes into it and gets tangled. Then he gets captured. Then he gets executed by a firing squad.Nothing changes. He accomplishes nothing.Even the captured Xi Gundam doesn't matter because mobile suit technology is all about getting smaller and miniaturization. Xi gets analyzed, quickly outdated, shoved in some storage container, and forgotten forever. Xi was a new Gundam but the Feds literally had the predecessor Penelope which already has the same tech, just slightly bulkier because it was the previous month's model. They never even had a need to analyze it.Even Tomino said in an interview he doesn't want to direct Hathaway's Flash because it's too dark and depressing. He wrote the novel when he wanted Gundam to end and he was depressed.There's no good ending to this story. Nothing to look forward to. Hathaway doesn't get anymore epic fights. It's all downhill and a train wreck now.
>>23476973Can't wait for the 3rd movie
>>23476973>the Feds use an electric NETthis is not what happens.
>>23476973>There's no good ending to this storyYou don't need a good ending to make a good story... that said Hathaway isn't a good story anyways.
>>23477041>this is not what happens.That's exactly what happens and you know it. Just stop
>>23475330Hathway's Flash is just not worth it because it's a pointless story about fucking nothing.
>>23477041>>23477408It's a beam barrier. You know people keep saying the "electric net" thing just to make the story sound dumber.
>>23477421Nonsense. It's a beam net that shocks the electronics in his suit and shuts it down. >sound dumberBecause it is dumb. There's no epic showdown like everyone wants. Hathaway crashes into it and he's captured. It's a pathetic end for Hathaway. Mafty also ends with his ends.
>>23475330Imagine being a cuck to the opinions of others.
>>23477446>It's a beam netit's not. you would know this if you had actually read the novels and not parrot stuff from shitty summaries that have been debunked.
Beam net sounds unironically dumber if your mech is getting caught in it like a fish net. Never read the novel btw.
It's just another pretentious garbage series just like every UC series out there.
>>23477882Stop being autistic and hyper obsessed about details. Whether it's a beam net or electrical net it doesn't matter. The point is that it was shitty end for Hathaway.
>>23480024>The point is that it was shitty end for Hathaway.Its hathaway. It is the most fitting end he'll ever deserve.
>>23475418Yeah, and instead you're wasting your time here on 4chan and still being a trend chaser normalfag who can't form your own opinion and can't decide anything in your own life.
>>23480319>implying Hathaway was ever trending, anywhere
>>23480001Still better than Evangelion
>>23475330the first film was just an entire first act as opposed to being a Part 1 film with three acts
>>23475330Bright is a terrible father and friend. Allowed his son to become a terrorist and betrayed what his death friends fought as a result.
>>23480001>pretentious garbage seriesThat's eva & ergo proxy or some late 90's early 2000's intellectual anime.
>>23481263>AllowedAnon I don't think he allowed his son to be a terrorist. We see from various points like when me and I was talking to amuro in zeta. Brian doesn't really see his children a lot due to the fact of him being in the army in space and his children live on earth. Need I doesn't want to live in space because she wanted to shield her children from war but in the end ended up making him more alike to char then most people
>>23475330Its so kino. I would assume that it is mostly because it is a set up for later parts rather than an all in one slop fest.
>>23476938>Not sure why the director wants the battle shrouded in darkness.Because the CGI is dogshit like it is in almost all anime.
>>23482874Honestly it's somehow worse than most anime. I don't get it. How do you have worse CGI than say, Demonbane's anime despite being decades newer and with many times the budget.
>>23475376I formed my own opinion of Hathaway and it only caused me pain. So why shouldn't I go with the herd if it lets me keep my sanity?
