>Sources point to the film adapting Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team, a gritty, ground-level story set during the One Year War.

>>23634199It's so bad it's like there's a double agent on the inside working hard to make sure it's the worst movie possible.
>not making gundam, the one anime adaptation where gay pairing makes sense, a male on male romance movieDoes hollywood hate money?
0083 with Sydney Sweeney as Nina would be a much better adaptation.
>>23634199adapting 8 episodes instead of 50? yea, why not
>>23634199This is lame, all the cahracters of the 08th ms team are disposeable.
>>23634227oops, *12
Would they really want to adapt an existing series instead of doing an original story? Of course it could be a Bandai mandate. Will we still see Kiki's Kikis in live action?
They should do a trilogy. And begin with the story of Casval becoming Char.Then the second movie should be Amuro's going into the Gundam, and figthing in Jaburo.And then the third movie should be more about Lalah meeting Amuro, her death, and the fall of Zeon.
>>23634199Please baby Jeezus don't let them put toes on my precious mungo GM Sniper.
I hope the CGI mobile suits won't be greebled abominations
>>23634233kiki will be a 30-year-old black woman and she'll lecture you, the audience, on why it's wrong to objectify women
>Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team>a gritty, ground-level storyHeh.
>>23634199who are these 2 people even
>>23634245>And begin with the story of Casval becoming Char.A modified adaptation of Advent of the Red Comet could work but I'm concerned about pay off, the story is all build up to be paid off in other works. While it worked out for Dune and LoTR I'm not sure first time audiences really want to have to commit to 3 movies to enjoy one. Typically the first movie at least is self contained.
WTF they stole my idea. Except my idea was to make Michael Bay do a 08th MS team adaptation.
>>23634199>Is this a good idea?I love 08th MS Team and no, this isn't a good idea. Should have been a new UC/AU story.
>>23634199Why not just created new AU Gundam?
>>23634199The're going to make Aina into a whore aren't they?
>>2363419908th MS Team sucks balls, so yes, it's awful.
i hate normies and i hate hollywood
>>23634365That's not nice.
>>23634199Weird. Should have just made an original story set during the war
>>23634245>more charwankno thanks.
Will it be better than the other live-action Gundam film?
>1st movie is on Earth>if successful, the 2nd movie will be in spaceI can dig it?
>>23634395It can't be worse.
What happened to the other thread?
>>23634365This
>>23634199>Sources point to the film adapting Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team>with Sweeney playing a young woman on a mission to avenge her father and Starkey potentially portraying her rival and love interest from the Earth Federation.What.
>>23634426
Wouldn’t it make more sense to adapt War In The Pocket? That one’s far more self-contained and is only six episodes, you could easily turn the whole thing into a two-hour flick. Could even add a couple moments from One Year War to give context for newcomers, like the colony drop or Gihren’s speech.
>>23634483I guess showing the colony drop as the intro. The speech is months before.
>>23634199sounds fake as shit.
>>23634199>sources say... >anonymous leaks report...So this is just total bullsh1t then? >comicbookmovie.comOpinion discarded.
>>23634483They want the movie to be "bigger" as something normies will watch as their introduction to gundam. War in the pocket is too "contained", too much slumps in the middle. Sorta like comparing the first live action Transformers movie to Bumblebee.
>>23634483War in the Pocket wouldn't appeal to the average moviegoer while 08th MS Team is already a shallow hollywood take on Gundam. It just makes more sense.
>>23634199Just adapt Gundam Wing. Americans love it. Lmao. Americans do NOT give AF about the One Year War like the Japanese fans do. They don't romanticize it or sympathize with Zeon. Americans cheer when the Federation wins because the entire anime is a WW2 analogy.Americans see themselves as the Federation crushing the Nazi Japanese Zeon.If they adapt 08th MS team it will fail in the West.Simple as that.
Why not write a new UC story just for the movie? I don't think any existing UC series can be adapted to a movie without it being horribly mangled and cut up. At this point they should just let Tomino write and direct 2 and a half hours of a new story that follows the main character gradually becoming more mindbroken until the very end where they killed by a mysterious fast Red Zaku.
Uh, well, it is a better idea than Amuro Gundam (which no one but Japan cares about) but I wouldn't call it good one. I'd still say the best options are either an F91 live action or a Gundam Wing live action.
there's still time to do hollywood live action evangelion
Nothing points to a UC entry or adaptation. They could make an entirely new standalone film in a new timeline.
>>23634613Bandai Japan will never stop trying to push UC onto America. They will never accept that the West doesn't care about UC.Bandai Japan desperately wants to resell old UC gunpla and toys to the West. They want to sell old UC junk to Americans.
>>23634199They should just create AU but reuse UC mobile suits similar to what SEED did
This thread is full of bad takes.
>>23634690The best part is that the source is absolute poppycock
>>23634199No, having Sweeny in your movie is not a good idea. In fact it's a terrible idea.
putting aside the fact this is a load of hot air shite, didn't the netflix series already kind of do this?
>>23634628Why must they always make girls old and ugly
>>23634676Same shit with Saint Seiya. The whole latin america, mexico and a shitload of europeans and asians love it:>must pander 100% to america
>>23634676An obsession with UC killed Gundam the first time in America. I think nowadays, it might not be the death sentence that it was. But, still. Alternative Gundam shows tend to do better in America.>>23634853Both Netflix Seiya and the live action versions unironically should've pandered harder to Mexicans or Europeans. The end results were something that wound up appealing to no one.>Making Shun a girl instantly made all the fujoshi tap out>live action movie was so generic it could have been anythingAt least Mark Dacoscos got a paycheck, I guess.
>>23634810Hello bluesky whale
>>23634810She has fat tits, so the promise of seeing her in a skintight Zeon normal suit sounds great. Would you rather they cast Zendaya or Hunter Schafer or something?
>>23634895>An obsession with UC killed Gundam the first time in America. Yep. Bandai of Japan was super excited when Gundam Wing was crazy popular in the early 2000s in the USA. They thought the moment had finally come for Gundam to take over the West. I recall an interview where former Bandai of America staff said they told Bandai of Japan that:>"America doesn't like all of Gundam. America specifically likes Gundam Wing. If you want to succeed you need to make more Gundam anime like Gundam Wing."But they didn't listen. Bandai of Japan ordered them to immediately push UC Gundam anime, and to sell old UC gunpla.>I think nowadays, it might not be the death sentence that it was. But, still. Alternative Gundam shows tend to do better in America.Because:1. UC requires you to watch earlier UC shows, or you won't fully understand what's going on. 2. It's basically WW2 in space that slowly morphed over several shows into Zeon sympathy.It's really disgusting how UC fans and anime writers are basically:>Zeon lost the war, but they are just so cool and amazing. They are filled with honorable warriors. Isnt the horrors of war bad? I get sad seeing Zeon warriors fall in battle. But If they only just had the right leaders then everything would be awesome. Zeon is just so great. The Federation treats them so badly!Just look at garbage like "Requiem for a Vengeance" on Netflix where they try to make us feel bad for Zeon. Or Gquuux where they tried to change history to make Zeon win but did nothing interesting with that idea. Just made Sayla the new Zeon queen for some reason. Don't worry I'm sure Zeon will be perfectly stable. She won't die and her children will be perfect rulers too.
>>23634395G savior has amazing mecha designs and will be superior to whatever the fuck greebled up nonsense Hollywood does. Plot? Characters? Cinematography? Lmao I don't know I just like robots.
>>23635088I shit you not, the japanese still think what sells in america is DEI/ESG/CSR. I bet you they'll get some non binary guys to play zeonic characters who get a lot of prejudice from EFSF macho guys.
>>23635112I think they look at Twitter as their sole metric. They send weird PR packages to literally who tranny youtubers like "Lady" Emily. Not only that but the Gundam crowd on there is nothing but troon flags. I think Bandai forgets the audience is a little wider than that. And that the Internet is not necessarily evocative of anything substantive.
>>23634199>Live-Action GUNDAMdoes any Gundam fan alive actually want this
>>23635098Based.G-Saviour was where Okawara peaked.
>>23635141What the fans want doesn't matter, only what the suits want.
>>23634676>They will never accept that the West doesn't care about UCThe west doesn't have hate UC, the west hates them pandering to 0079 and the OYW, that's the issue. Every time to they try to pander to UC, it always goes to shit because they always do some dumb shit like pushing newtype goddess Lalah on people for like the umphteenth time derailing the plot, or they just go into shallow tangents about newtypes magic and how mysterious and miraculous it is, when when that couldn't be the furtherest thing from the truth. That's what makes people phone out of UC.
>>23634541>They don't romanticize it or sympathize with Zeon.>If they adapt 08th MS team it will fail in the West.The 08th team was pure feddie wank though, fuck are you talking about?also you can't make wing to a movie, the events of wing are so spread out between one another, the overall plot would come of an incoherent mess.
Imagine if they did Victory Gundam lol
>>23635051>>23635067I mean, by all means she's a great actress. Remember Madame Web?
>>23635136They are still on X? I thought they cried and ran to Bluesky?
>>23635244The algorithm keeps trying to push "her" for me, in spite of how many times I've clicked that I wasn't interested. >>23635229Madame Web was a masterfully bad movie. Such a fascinating end product. A new low, or high, for Sony's incompetence.
>>23634323>>23634310Because Japan remembers Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within almost bankrupting Square.
>>23634525>>23634534The main problem I see is that what separates Gundam from other Futuristic War Movies Possibly With Giant Robots is that the series tends to focus on the experiences of children in war. 08th MS came after over a decade of most series focusing either on a a kid or someone who'd been a kid when we first met them; it was exploring another facet of a known thing. Jumping in with Wing isn't completely different from that, but Wing was (in a sense, don't kill me) a refinement of the MSG/Z/0080/etc. formula, whereas 08th gives a really inaccurate impression of what Gundam "is". They could solve it by tacking on a young character, but I don't think they will. So if the movie succeeds, and they have to go looking for another story to adapt? Probably not going to be MSG, probably not going to be any of the AUs. It's Stardust Memory and then a bit of a dead end.
>>23634613MSG could work, they just have to do the work. They have to understand that Amuro needs to be written like an actual teenager, and not a Hollywood teenager (Caspian from AMC's Pantheon is a good example, as far as smart, disaffected dudes who suddenly have stupid amounts of responsibility thrust into their laps go). They have to understand that Char is charismatic but also a misanthropic asshole but also NOT the villain; he's an amoral agent of his own agenda. They have to have a wide understanding of how their version of the One Year War progresses outside of the main scope of the movie.
>>23634676>>23635174Sunrise doesn't want to admit that Sentinel would go wild if it was animated. Americans would really fuck with sentinel.
>>23635141No.
>>23635336They don't have the rights to the Senitiel story.
>>23635306yes, the rich tradition that carries over a single narrative, Final Fantasythat was just nuts the time they had a new story
>>23635333I think even if you used the compilation films as a base, they'd still have to cut out too much. Soldiers of Sorrow especially flows in a way that I think the average American normie would find it unpleasant. Plus, you just can't top Tomino. I feel bad for any director dumb enough to sign onto a project where they've gotta try and retread ground a real artist already owned.
>>23635607I don't know what to tell you. TSW flopped so hard that Square had to merge with their rival, then Advent Children came out and was instantly beloved. You gotta give existing fans something to show up for, or else they'll badmouth you to death.
>>23635685Notice I didn't say anything about the actual plot. A retread would be dumb, I agree. Getting the characters and political context right is what's important, and then your plot should emerge naturally out of those resources and the constraints of the film format. I guess, in this way, it'd technically be an AU. But I would expect Hollywood to use an AU setting as an excuse to erase the things that make Gundam unique because it's easier for them to sell that kind of movie (and it looks like that's essentially what they're doing). So I would say that the wrong move would be to create a "new AU". Adapting an existing story and pushing your own stylistic/narrative spin that dovetails better with the medium would be better.
>>23635705I'd rather they just do something new. Either a new AU or even a new side story. I can't think of a single moment from any Gundam series that'd be "enhanced" by seeing it in live action.
>>23635918im not a true fan of Gundam,but what coud be new or fresh that can fit on live-action?my only complain is the goofy colors, that must be ridden...
>>23635227Would be too based.
>>23635918>I can't think of a single moment from any Gundam series that'd be "enhanced" by seeing it in live action.Oh, that's a really bad-faith argument. Especially since "live-action" films with heavy CG are essentially animated themselves. So what you're saying is that a CG shot that takes months and the efforts of a dozen pros (using advanced simulation and rendering tech) to come together can't enhance a janky 8fps cel-based 2D animated shot that was thrown together in a week by like 2 dudes on a toy commercial budget. It's a ridiculous notion. Certainly, later shows look a lot better, but MSG has been "enhanced" multiple times by Sunrise itself because everyone realizes that the original concept was good, but executed under less-than-ideal conditions.An AU could be good, but I don't trust Hollywood to create something out of whole cloth. I think you just want it to be unconnected to animated Gundam so that, if it's bad, you can wash your hands of it and say, "It's not Gundam." I don't understand that wishy washy defeatist mindset. I want this thing to be good. And there are approaches that make the likelihood that it will be good higher.
They should just adapt 00
>>23635189>The 08th team was pure feddie wank though, fuck are you talking about?It was a poor adaption of Romeo and Juliet. With the character Shiro whining about "pacifism" and wanting to see Aina for half the series. Not exactly the alpha male hero that would reasonate with Western audiences. >also you can't make wing to a movie, the events of wing are so spread out between one another, the overall plot would come of an incoherent mess.Let me fix that for you. >You can't make a Gundam movie. The events of Gundam are so spread out between one another, the overall plot would come of an incoherent mess.That's why a TV show is better. Make it look like Battlestar Galactica for the space battles.
>>23635957I got you bro
>>23635267Hope she gets to wear this
>>23634361nooo
>>23634676>Bandai Japan will never stop trying to push UC onto America.All they have to do is remake the original series.It has the best story of all gundam. But the animation aged very badly.
>>23634483>Begin with a side storyIt will flop hard.
>>23636504>All they have to do is remake the original seriesNo, harking back to the 0079 is why we keep getting stupid shit Gquuuux, even when we were promised an alternate UC timeline to explore new events..
>>23636716>we were promised an alternate UC timelineHow new do you have to be to think Japan promises anything?
>>23636723i mean we did get that, it just literally went nowhere because it was derailed by Lalah autism.
>>23636325I just mean that Gundam has a pretty good track record, over all. There's not a work that's enough of a dud that I think you could remake it and do a better job. Sure, there's stuff to argue over like the compilation films vs the original series, but even then, I think the argument is more nuanced than "original bad". I want the movie to be good. I think I'm coming off as more negative than I intend to because Gundam is really special to me. But, I just don't wanna see something I've already seen before. I could not be less interested in remakes across any medium. I don't want vidya remakes or anime remakes. I want them to find a creative team with an actual vision and commit to it. They got that cokehead Roberts off the project so that's at least a step in the right direction.
>>23636742I kind of look at Scott Pilgrim and how they changed the story - up to having different endings - to fit each medium they adapted it to.* It's not just about compressing the story but actually saying, "Hey, there are only so many events we can cover, what affect does that have on where Amuro and Char and White Base end up?" And maybe having to think critically about those limitations helps keep the writing from being lazy.I guess I'm just saying that, even if you AU it, you don't have to throw everything out.*In the movie, the original ending had him end up with Knives because he didn't have the literal months he'd had in the comics for his relationship with Ramona to develop. In the games, he ends up with everyone BUT Ramona because he beats Nega Scott to a pulp instead of making amends with him. In the Netflix series, inevitably fucking up his happily-ever-after with Ramona leads to time travel shenanigans.
>>23634199How are they going to work in the CE jiggling boobs into the story?
>>23635306How much money did Spirits Within even make? It was this huge budget project but I never heard of the film until years after the fact, as if it was pulled from theaters the week after it came out. And where did the $100 million budget come from? Even a big studio for the time like Square seems like it would have had, like, a quarter of that in capital.
>>23636358>this can be a possibility in the realm of adaptations
>>23634199>Live-action GUNDAM movie Will Ruin 'The 08th MS Team'
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Thunderbolt is perfect for hollywood. Io Fleming is the classic hollywood action movie protagonist: cocky and somewhat of an asshole, but genuinely does have the skills to back it up. His foil Daryl Lorenz for the battle scarred exploited veteran narratives. The plot beats and themes are right up american audience's alley.
>>23634199At least the actors look okay. It won't adapt 8th MS Team, but I see them using a similar plot. I hope the OYW part of this rumour is false since we've had enough stories set in that era. I would've preferred it to be an entirely new AU.
>>23638064>hollywood action movie protagonist>cocky and somewhat of an asshole, but genuinely does have the skills to back it upAnon have you not watch a new hollywood movie? It's literally girlboss and gay shit. Topgun 2 is unicorn for a reason.
>>23638004People liked Gquuux so it's okay.
>>23634199>western animated series is set in the OYW>movie supposedly set in the OYWI thought Americans didn't care about UC?
>>23638275We don't but Sunrise keeps shoving it down everyone's throat.
>>23638277Like I said before, the movie should've been a new AU.
>>23638277Ignore this faggot. The OYW's cool, it's just overused and they keep adding more and more Gundams to the era to it's detriment.If they made more stuff like pic-related, I'd have a lot more truck with the OYW as an era in comparison to the rest of the timeline.
>>23638262>Topgun 2 is unicorn for a reason.Maybe it wouldn't be a unicorn if they made more of those.
Why not Fires of Raven with Sydney as Carla.
>UC oyw>original AU>WingI suspect that if they don't give it a subtitle it will be a sort of bizzarro oyw original story with legacy elements, like what Michael Bay Transformers are to G1, or what they did with Ghost in the Shell or Death Note.So you'll have your Gundam, Guntank, and Guncannon fighting for the Federation against Zeon, there'll be Zakus, Goufs, and Doms, probably the Big Zam as an end of film boss fight. The story will be mostly be original but they'll try to take 'iconic moments' from the anime and scatter them throughout, 'this is no zaku, boy, no zaku', 'not even my father hit me'While it would be mostly Hollywood style there might be Wing-isms that creep in.
>>23638284The live action movie has to be based on the original UC at least.
>>23638290Rise from the ashes is good in theory as more small-scale conflict material with no out of timeline wunderwaffen or new gundams, but the story is pretty mediocre. Any gundam sidestory with a noble honorable zeon knight enemy that gets all the characterization needs to be taken back to the drawing board, it's so fucking overused.
I knew they would fuck this up out the gate.
>>23635306But that was them refusing to adapt what they knew worked.
>>23638262Just make Io a girl and write her the same way and you're good to go.
>>23634199She looks more like another Kikuko Inoue's /m/ character
This will be an expensive flop. The west barely cares about Gundam.
unless they change the story to be worse and shitty this will fall flat. People call 08th MS team hollywood but its character drama aspects are really theatrical in nature and its only the fights that have a tinge of grittiness when Shiro or Norris arent doing something insane again. The theatrical character drama with all the shouting and exclamation isnt gonna translate well to some live-action production that wants to be serious and prestige and is probably out to "elevate" the source material.
Do War in the Pocket but actually show the grilled well done burger.
When did /m/ turn on 08th MS Team or start pretending.
>>23634199I hope there's a masked villain (antihero) and I FUCK do hope it's her wearing it...
I hope they film scenes in zero-g like on the vomit comet and we get to see Sidney's Sweenys bounce around in weightlessness
>>23638491/m/ opinion on 08th MS Team is hardly consistent as it is. Some think it's dogshit, others recommend it as a starting point, others think it's mostly okay but claim the 08th Team vs Gouf battle is the most tense fight scene in the entire franchise (this is me and also the correct opinion).
>>23638491/m/ only likes unicorn and any gundam before the 90s
>>23638491I love 08th MS, it's the best from the OVA trio and is in my top 10.The way in which fans discuss the show makes me want to gas and drop colonies, also gouf vs ez8 is fucking overrated.
Honestly if they going to put Sidney Sweeny in a live action Gundam production then they should have her play a character like Gigi Andalucia in Hathaway's' flash production or something. At least that's a role that I can easier see her fitting into. But having her play are role like Aina, Nina Purpleton or Saya Mass would just be to much to suspend my disbelief. She has already been type cast into the ditzy blonde bimbo character archetype so seeing her play characters that are suppose to be intelligent or have depth would just be weird. It's going to be hard sell for the audience.
>>23638878nigga who cares about womens intelligence or depth lmfao. the only thing they're good for is being hot ditzy bimbo characters. so it would actually be a good thing if they used sydney sweeney for a role like this and didn't try some woke nonsense.
>>23634395Been years since i saw G-saviour on bootleg VHS
>>23638878dumbass, we'd be watching for giant robots and gianter tits. preferably in skin tight space suits or bare naked.
>>23638491/m/ treats the 08th MS Team like it does every other Gundam instalment.
>>23637716>How much money did Spirits Within even make? Apparently around $50 mil total.>And where did the $100 million budget come from?IIUC Square bet the house on it and it almost bankrupted them. This was back when their FMV sequences were known as the top in the industry. It hit the same month as FFX; it's easy to look at that and the previous games and think, "Hell yeah this company could totally make something to rival Toy Story and Shrek but for adults into action/fantasy/scifi." And then it flopped because it only had a few things in common with previous FFs. (Ironically, a lot of people say that if they'd taken the same concept and made a game out of it, it might have worked).Also, a portion of that probably came from the distributor for marketing.
>>23638339It could work if they split it up into two movies, and Earth one and a space one, like a dude said earlier. The first one, you hammer home that the win is just getting to Jaburo. Gotta get to Jaburo, Jaburo's expecting the Gundam, civvies will be safe at Jaburo. They get to Jaburo, celebrations, satisfying ending. (But you leave the door open because Char still hasn't been dealt with and the war isn't over.)
>>23639046Fill the sky with the iconic shot of the business end of the colony filling the sky before the bright flash and you've sold me.
>>23634199>Sydney SweeneyThis thing is gonna flop or suck so badly. Also, a white supremacist like her should play a villain like Kycilia Zabi instead, not a heroine. Nobody buys her being a good person, especially nowadays.
>>23639109>whitewashing the (most famous family of ((lunarians))) woah cool it with the antisemetic remarks
>>23639176It's acceptable to shit on whites and zionists. They are the ones ruining the world, especially nowadays.
>>23634252do we get to see her black kikis doe
>>23638491I think a lot of the reason some people don't like 08th is precisely because people who don't like or actually watch Gundam try to say it's the only Gundam worth watching while saying it's grounded and gritty
>>23639202Of course, this will never be mentioned in the movie.
>>23635136Most people who buy merch are 40+ hetero guys. Dont they know how to make inquiries in japan?
>>23634199>is this a good ideayes, Vietnam gunam is would work well as a western action movie where the hero get the girl in the endhowever it would need to be executed correctly and it wont be
>>23639354I haven't seen a Gunpla or general merch survey in a while. The last few surveys I've seen Bandai do were for games. It's kinda odd, since more so than any other company, I think of Bandai Namco as the survey guys.
>>23634199>Gundam Hathaway's main plot was about Hathaway piloting a Gundam to kill corrupted politicians >Hollywood immediately makes a movie about muh romance between zeon and feddiesWhat did AE mean by this?

>>23639815about 2 months left.
>>23639636I wonder indeed.... it's a mystery
>>23639822Wrong pic, damnit, Anaheim is at it again!
>>23636434Fingers crossed
>>23634199Their same source also claimed they were already filing for the the movie early last year. I don't believe shit. They're literally the only ones claiming this and have been wrong on all their movie news before.
>>23634245>live action orginUGHHHHHHHHHH I’d rather have james gandolfini bitch about how they’re all going to die if they do t get some fuckin Salt

>>23641105Never mind rise from the ashes having zeon be popular with the locals in fucking australia itself, like his pvre zeonic nobility aura is correcting any ill will in their hearts.
>>23641219There's probably a pretty interesting story to tell about Zeon poisoning the well for less fucking insane anti-EF movements, but even Zeta doesn't really go into that much despite AEUG nominally starting as one.But that would get in the way of pretending Zeon did nothing that could poison the well I suppose, they only poison sides.
You can read the script for the unmade 1983 American film herehttps://archive.org/details/Gundam1983MovieScript/mode/2up
>>23634199Kinda glad its not adapting anything good, then its not a huge loss of it sucks, and on the off chance its actually good, well, that's an improvement over the original.
What do you think they'll change "White Devil" to? I'm expecting "White Star of Death."
>>23641098>>>/pol/
>>23641592This is the least weird part I've found skimming. Bruh, what were they on.
>>23642147>ZAKRight that was a thing for a bit wasn't it
Hollywood should be nuked with a space colony.
>>23642132Nah they'll keep that and make a reference about "muh colonization bad!" and reddit will clap.
I bet they will make a story where the federation are the bad guys.And Zeon the oppresed are the good guys.The president of the E.F. will be some guy that looks like Trump.The leader of the Zeon will be someone that looks like Karl Marx.
>>23642190Zeon was oppressed and the federation were the bad guys though.
>>23642151I don't care what the nips says over the phone, we didn't call it Gandamu in english, we aint callin the other one a Zaku neither.
>>23635141If it had really good CGI, sure. Would much prefer a new story thoughbeit.
>>23641592>1983i have doubts about the FX of that era , IMO
>>23642509They film it toku style, when it's showing the robot it's just a dude in a rubber suit / tin can Dr Who style.
>>23642523would work in Japan, not so much in the US...
>>23642134>Just ignore Hollywood for the past 5 years go... Earthnoid
>>23643415Yes, go watch something else instead. There's plenty of media that isn't hollywood. Some of you faggots really just want to bitch, so you deliberately seek out all these things you hate just to rage over it.Go watch something you actually like instead, loser. Go watch some fucking mecha from your backlog.
>>23643577It's Hollywood that is making this Gundam adaptation retard. Way to our yourself
>>23643577Crazy how there used to be loads of things that sucked a little bit but were occasionally pretty good too and now most of them just fucking suck all the time and it seems to all be for the same reasons but you're never ever ever allowed to wonder why.
>>23642509post 2001, Star Trek, Wraith of Khan, Battlestar Galactica and nearly entire Star Wars trilogy
>>23643774and G-Saviour ,might add
>>23643801that was '99.
>>23634426>It can't be worse.I bet it can.
>>23643415If your historical time horizon is 5 years, you're too young to post on this board, and if you're "rent-free"ing movies in 2025, you need to >>>/pol/
>>23643415You're the reason we have to put up with people bitching about jean ads, fuck off.
>>23644161Name a movie she was in where you enjoyed her acting and give a reason besides her looks.I'll wait.
>>23644189I don't care either way about her, it's just that the dumb controversy surrounding those ads wouldn't have happened without muh DEI whining. She would have just been a hot chick making a silly pun about not having to work for her hotness and no one would have looked any more deeply into it. Instead, you have half the country feeling spooked about anti-spooks, who wouldn't be spooked if they weren't spooked by the people spooked by spooks. Fuck off fuck off fuck ooooooooff.
>>23644160>Just coomsumee AEslop Earthnoid.
>>23644161>Putting up with people>>>/reddit/
>>23644784No. I'll stay here.
I want the entire U.S to be nuked until nothing can survive on its landmass
>>23634257Visually? yeseverything else? just run on the mill crap
>>23638428well, how much they are spending right now?i guess the CGI for the MS and large vehicles will be the big chunk of costs
>>23638263calling them "people" is incredibly charitable.
Why is everyone taking this as fact? The movie has been in pre-production hell for years and I'd be surprised if it doesn't get abandoned completely.The real discussion should be about which director and/or script writer could do Gundam justice. Let's say the movie is set in UC, either as a side story or an adaptation/reimagining of whatever main UC story
>>23634395As long as the heroine isn't a sheboon, yeah
>>23642147>Father>Gandamu>onegai.....
>>23648710Fuck I don't know, who has made a good fantasy/scifi action movie recently?
>>23639202Shitskin faggot
>>23646273>>23646276>>23646716>I am very smartreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
So, any recent news?we need to make a bingo for all the tropes and cliches will appear...
>>23648738>Birdshit
>>23634199Not a good idea.
>>23660340>Inb4 it's because Ground Type and EZ8 are both easier to model than the original RX-78-2
I feel like 0080 is the best to adapt....
