If you watch mecha for the giant robots then you have bad media literacy
>>23552318Hathaway looking a bit like Shinji Ikari here
>>23552318So like how if you eat vegetables for the fiber then you have bad diarrhea?
Only fags say "media literacy", go back to twitter.
>>23552324What are the most /m/ fruits and vegetables?
>>23552322>>23552324>>23552326>>23552330Stop replying to bait.
>>23552318If you dont realise that the giant robots are there to be a visual representation of various different themes or ideas (depending on the story) then you have bad media literacy
>>23552318If mecha are functionally useless to the narrative (which is pretty much always the case), then what is the point of the mecha genre? >>23552336This nigga here trying to pretend like EVA units being representations of the protagonists' fraught relationship with their moms isn't stupid as hell. And yeah, mobile suits are a "metaphor" for how humanity cannot really achieve peace because we would rather turn our limitless potential as a species towards yet more ways to kill each other. Knowing the themes of a work doesn't make it any less eye-rolling and wanky. Don't matter what's being said, the physics defying giant robots don't need to be there.
>>23552330Dragon Fruit, thats why Getter Dragon's head looks like it
>>23552332No
>>23552402Shut up OP.
>>23552318>The Grim Reaper won't come for your media literacy when you're ready for him, anon
>>23552318You can't even see the robots in this movie.
War is bad and inevitable. The only escape is true destruction.
>>23552318>"Media literacy" Mecha IS about giant robots. Giant robots are cool. It's not only absolutely necessary but (you) are missing the point if you don't watch mecha for giant robots. You don't read a fantasy novel just because you "enjoy the plot". You read it because you want to escape to a magical land with fairies and elves, and the plot itself is only a cake dressing. >b-b-but the message and charactersIt's genre fiction, aka entertainment slop. The characters are only there to sell merc and move the plot forward. Just because it has some influence or themes from politics doesn't make it a political masterpiece. There are no real-life parallels for any conflict in the Gundam show, because they're only using aesthetics of politics and conflict to make the show cooler and more interesting. But do go ahead, entertain me. What message am I supposed to get from either Gundam or Mazinger? War and violence is bad? Yeah, sure, everyone knows that. I can tell war is bad just by gazing at the catalogue consisting of tons of WW2 movies, so what exactly is Gundam doing for making me want to watch it over WW2 movies or Kurt Vonnegaut novels? If your answer isn't "giant fucking robots" you're a pseud and a redditor.
>>23552697This post is just as retarded as OPs
>>23552332How long do you think this thread is going to get necrobumped for? 3 months, maybe even 4?
>>23552373Retarded or just bait?
>>23552318The only point of mecha anime are the cool robots, the rest is wankery for people who want to pretend like their puddle-deep navelgazing is deeper than it actually is.
>>23552330Tomatoes
>>23552318I hope there's more fights in the next Hathaway movie. I wanna see more of Xi in action
If you remove the themes from a mecha series you still have a mecha series, but if you remove the giant robots you don't have a mecha series anymore.
>>23552330Carrots, obviously. Lack of Carrots is why Kou is such a loser. Unlike Gato of course, Gato eats his carrots.
>>23552318>media literacya buzzword for "I have no argument but I MUST be right". Aka "filtered" 2.0
Fuck yeah I love explosions
>>23552318well yeah we have bad media literacy, which is why we're watching it instead of reading it, dumbass
Gundamtroons are midwit pseuds who hate mecha, everyone knows that.
>>23557317Yeah about that.....they haven't learned how to make visible cgi gundams yet.
>>23558164CG animation was a mistake. It looks like a PS2 game
If you build gunpla, you missed the point.
You missed the point by idolising the Gundam characters
>>23558184Would you eat a burger Char gave you?
>>23552318My niggas reign sah-preem. Ch'all niggas fuck Ted.Ted fucker.
>>23552373Wow the bitching just went on & on. No one asked.
>>23552680gottim
>>23552697Why are you advocating for anti-intellectualism? Kill yourself, please.
>>23556031Retarded. OP actually believes in his own bs.
>>23559751I don't agree with the other anon disparaging the entire genre to make his point, but it's more anti-pseudo-intellectualism than anything else.
