I don’t like the Gundam’s V fin and think mobile suits should look more like military machines than giant knights or samurai
I do like GM types for having more "realistic" headpieces but I think that if you're optimizing for "practical military" your machines end up looking more like battlemechs or VOTOMs"Suit of armor" mecha is what Gundam is built on, it's like saying you think Macross mechs should be less like planes
gundam fan be like: I don't like gundam
>>23589343you're wrong and you probably smell weird
>>23589343I feel like this is a fairly common opinion to be paired with an image of the Ez-8 but maybe you're all just one somewhat prolific autist
Renato brothers were robbed.
This is just TRVEGundam could have been even greater had it not been shackled by capitalist toy sales quotas and appealing to children
>>23589343Watch VOTOMS.This has nothing to do with your post, just watch VOTOMS.
>>23589343But there's plenty of other media that has what you want, why not go for those? What other things do you want out of mecha besides the suit style? What does Gundam have, but those other titles don't, that is keeping you from switching?
>>23589656You don't get it. They want jarhead, or generation kill, or saving private ryan, but exactly one brown shitbox mech walks past in the background in one scene. It probably even dies immediately, too. That's how mecha will finally be mature, and mom will probably stop calling them transformers.
>>23589704It's more about the dissonance Gundam creates for itself with a story about war, warcrimes, politics, morality, human connection and all that but these trained soldiers show up in a giant version of the gaudiest, brightest, plastic looking toy in some kids room to kill each other with It would be more fitting if they actually looked like military machines and Gundam has many militaristic designs for their mecha, the Zaku was a good start, but you can obviously tell which ones were aimed at selling toys
>>23589739Yeah, like how star trek is silly because they all wear bright uniforms in their retro space ships. They should wear multicam and say "oscar tango!" more often. Then I can take it seriously.
>>23589759Exactly.
>>23589759stop giving paramount new ideas!!
>>23589855nohttps://www.startrek.com/en-ca/news/strange-new-world-sdcc-puppet-verse-first-look
>>23589343>should look more like military machinesI got chu
>>23589759I appreciate that even when SNW agreed that body armor might be a good idea for some missions, they kept it in division colours.If only the writing was to the same level of consistent quality as the production design.
>>23589739It was designed by the man who made modern mecha toys and was supposed to resemble a Starship Troopers style drop pod when transformed.
>>23589423Unironically, yes. I love the grunts, don't care for the Gundams themselves. Not racists, just don't loik 'em. >>23589343based>>23589591Imagine if instead of the goofy tricolor Granpa was in the white/gray G3 getup like Tomino wanted>>23589656not OP but those don't have Zakus
Just say you're boring next time OP.
>>23591389>When Lalah keeps messing with the timeline for the lolz
>>23591389Damn that is an awful color schemeget some taste/sense of aesthetics
>>23591405How can you be so dumb you miss the point this hard.
>>23589343Tbh i love it when silly robots are portrayed as real killing machines. That's what made Zeta so damn good in my eyes, the ms turned the goofy factor to 100 but the maturity scaled with it. People saying we need our robits slathered with reactive armor and drab if they want to be taken seriously are idiots. Look at 40k, tons of silly bullshit all over the shop but it's all so compelling because it takes ITSELF seriously. I doesn't need the space marines in camo and using guided rockets to let you know shit's going down. that netflix show with the cg Zakus was probably the most atrocious gundam stories in a long ass time because it soooo wanted you to take the damn thing seriously. Fuck off with your tank tracks and gangly gm's you pedantic fucks we're dealing with giant robots. So tldr you suck dick and read Kondo's Zeon Revival
>>23589343CCA sucks. ZZ is better and more coherent despite the Tomino storytelling style.Only redeeming factor is mecha design.
>>23591430Considering multiple anons disagree with OP here it's pretty reasonable to assume you were being genuine
>>23590275Okay GROONTER
>>23589343Great Dangaioh was awesome as fuck.
>>23591838Kill yourself duel.
>>23589343Gundam is pretty good actually and there has not been a bad anime series set in Universal Century so far.
