>>23672757
He wants everyone to leave Earth. Although he isn't pulling a Char and attempting to destroy Earth/kill everyone. He's going after Federation higher ups to break it apart.
>>
>>23672757
Basically he thinks Char was fundamentally right about a lot of things but also tried to hurt the wrong people to achieve those goals. I think he likes to think he's doing what Amuro maybe would've wanted to if he didn't have to spend his entire life stopping genocidal madmen from making things worse instead of actually improving things.
There's something to be said for the tragedy of how many good people had to fight for the fairly questionable Earth Federation in order to fight against catastrophically worse things. All the time, energy and lives spent stopping Zeon could've gone to something that actually improved everyone's lot.

Tomino rolling in his grave right now
>>
>>23672757
>>23672929
He wants the Federation to do what the Universal Century was coined for more than a century ago, for humans to go to space and let the Earth and nature heal with minimal human presence. The current Earth Federation government does not want to do that anymore. Mafty is trying to force this not by dropping an asteroid or a colony, but by directly killing Feddie officials whom they consider corrupt to try to shake up the system.

In Tomino's mind, that means humanity must be eradicated. Haven't you watched Ideon or Dunbine? Or even heard the kind of bullshit Scirocco kept saying in Zeta?
>>
>cheating
Dropped.
>>
>>23672757
Hathaway knows Earth isn't enough for every human. Char said "It's fucked up that humanity will forever fight itself when they are put on either side of a line. As long as there is a difference between 'Earthnoids' and 'Spacenoids' there's gonna be war, so let's get everyone on the same side of the line by making everyone into a spacenoid!" This is probably not his full sincere belief, but it's what he taught his followers to get soldiers. Hathaway heard this and thought "That's almost right, but there are poor abused people on Earth too. They are not uniformly 'the elite' trying to assert power over the poor spacenoids. It's really just The Federation that is setting us up for forever wars so I'll just do a terrorism against them specifically."
>>
>>23673067
>This is probably not his full sincere belief
Because his sincere belief is that existence itself is sin and all life should be eradicated.
Fucking new age hippies, we should've banned Japan from making sci-fi stories after the sarin gas attack and executed Tomino via firing squad to prevent these garbage stories.

Retard. Amuro Ray is a dog, a Federation spook. He could've done something. Actually take a stand, start something to help clean up the Federation.
But no, instead he becomes a spook for them. Spying on Spacenoids, keeping them down under the Federation's boot.
Amuro Ray, the Federation's child soldier, the Federation's sample that led to the torture of a multitude of war orphans under the CyberNewtype program, the Federation's Spook Hound that sniffed around Spacenoid business. The Amuro "leave it for the next generation to resolve stuff" Ray, who takes no responsibility for his title, his role as a NewType.
Char only wanted to be a soldier. The PEOPLE clamored for his rule, for his guidance, his light. And so, even against his wishes, he rose up to the role.

I don't think they want to demonize the Federation that much considering how they go on controlling the setting afterwards and a bunch of other stuff takes place there.

The novel was originally standalone, so Tomino could end with with any kind of downer conclusion without worries.

The heroes don't have any motivation beyond the desire not to die or see humanity eradicated. Where in Ideon do the Solo Ship crew ever have a cause that isn't "don't die"?
>>
I was promised gigi's pussy hair but I'm increasingly afraid we won't be getting it. tomino would have shown it full frontal but modern directors aren't based enough for that kind of thing. they'll hide it with "artistic" camera angles and the most we'll get to see is some out of focus shit or a shot of her when she's like an inch tall on the screen.

>>23673765
>Amuro Ray, the Federation's child soldier, the Federation's sample that led to the torture of a multitude of war orphans under the CyberNewtype program

Don’t use crap from Fukui’s Gundam, Zeon was already experimenting with using Newtypes for warfare with Lalah and Challia Bull. In Zeta itself it was mentioned how the Titans were emulating Zeon’s tactics (as if them piloting Not-A-Zakus wasn’t obvious enough). Why should Char be given a pass even though he’s directly responsible for Haman Karn and her Neo Zeon and basically fucked off while the AEUG and Karaba got folded into the Federation leading to Londo Bell? “Oh well he actually rose up to the people’s wishes” yes by essentially enacting a dipshit plan that would’ve led to nothing because the Feddies were already moving to space. If fucking Mirai Yashima, a veteran of the One Year War could not get a shuttle to leave the fucking Earth then your average joe had no chance of evacuating to Earth. The conversation with the bus driver in Hathaway shows there were just as many on Earth suffering from the Federation’s capitalist system.

>keeping them under the Federation’s boot.

Provide one instance in the fucking movie that shows Amuro actually persecuting Spacenoids. Londo Bell was made to combat the rise of Neo Zeon, y’know. Neo Zeon? The same faction that dropped multiple colonies onto Dublin?
>>
>>23673832
>Moon Gundam
Fukui fanfiction doesn't count. If the Purus were cloned around OYW then it must mean Zeon already had the idea of artificial Newtypes. Neo Zeon clearly had a cyber newtype program too that seems to be too mature to be based solely on the Titans Newtypes labs
>>
>>23672957
The fights in GQX and WfM are so much better choreographed. The night battle of Xi vs Penelope in movie 1 just consisted two dark blobs of CGI mess spamming missiles and lasers against one another, it's a fucking disgrace.

We don't really know what the Purus are. You can pull non-canon stuff, but in ZZ they're never explicit about it. From all that we can analyze, Zeon's Cybernewtypes are way more advanced and don't really suffer from the same downsides as the Fed's. It would make sense, given that Zeon created the Psycommu and the Fed's were playing catch up on that field.
>>23674002
>Zeon was already experimenting with using Newtypes for warfare with Lalah and Challia Bull
Wow 2 people, who got to live fairly comfortable and normal lives (as normal as Lalah can be) until their deaths. You could add Daryl to that list and it would still not add up to the suffering from all the Fed's Cybernewtypes.
>Why should Char be given a pass even though he’s directly responsible for Haman Karn and her Neo Zeon
Everything Haman achieved was due to the Federation's own stupidity. Char has 0 responsibility for it. The AEUG was also done by the end of Gryps. So he, being AEUG's active leader, had no reason to remain in action.
>essentially enacting a dipshit plan that would’ve led to nothing because the Feddies were already moving to space
Moving people to space is simply one of the problems. The colonies still have to export more than half of what they produce to Earth, Spacenoids still have the desire to return to Earth (as stated by Hathaway), many Colonies were not being properly maintained/were poor etc.
>to leave the fucking Earth then your average joe had no chance of evacuating to Earth
Billions for Trillions and the evolution of Mankind.
>Londo Bell was made to combat the rise of Neo Zeon
Yeah yeah like all police forces they have their noble reasons, they surely don't abuse their power. It's clear in the movie that a bunch of Colonies do not assist LB in fear of riots, I wonder why that is.
>y’know. Neo Zeon? The same faction that dropped multiple colonies onto Dublin?

>>23674864
>Wow 2 people
More than 2 affected by the Flanagan institute(Chalia Bull was not one of them) especially if you want to use extended material.
Also 08th MS team shows Flanagan was doing inhumane experiments on children, the reality of itt is that all programs are pretty fucking bad, they all stem from the same research that began with Flanagan, there's a reason why his star subject was also their only really good one, then there's Arlette(who was literally about to be killed for being useless as a weapon), if you use novels Kuzco al is okay I guess, but then if we're going that far that institute is the same place that did the fucked up experiment on Marion and created the split personality Leila

Gundam doesn't care about explaining Cyber-Newtypes, they just want to make you understand which character you should think are evil.

Any screen you use at your home is vastly inferior to the $3 million dollar IMAX digital laser projectors used by Bandai. Thats the type of projector the Director used to calibrate Hathaway's brightness levels to the lowest levels possible the projector can output but still be visible.

It a stupid creative decision, but whatever.

So unless you are watching Hathaway in IMAX theaters, then you will never see Hathaway as it was intended to be watched. You are still missing details.

>>
>>23689133
>>23689179
Standard peak brightness used in mastering for home HDR is multiple times brighter than a theatre projector is capable of outputting, even the fanciest ones. The viewing environment is also different of course, so it's not apples to apples to begin with.
The home media grade is also never the same as the theatre grade as a result, you just can't do that.

>The home media grade is also never the same as the theatre grade as a result, you just can't do that.

IMAX screens lose like 80% of that light from reflecting, so that it is already down to 16k Lumens. You are also further from the screen, which makes it look darker than it would be at the 10ft from your TV in your living room.
It's not as much of a difference as you think. This is also ignoring how OLEDs have perfect blacks (which projectors cannot do), and that means you don't need as much light to peak relative to that to make it seem as bright to your eyes.

To be fair VESA has done nothing to make HDR uncomplicated, or sue fake HDR claims.

CCA's HDR grading was also hilariously bad. pic related.
>>
>>23689658
Yeah nothing below HDR 1000 or HDR400TB counts as HDR. I think TV manufacturers were just hoping for a new "3D" gimmick.
Also bad HDR gradings are the worst.
>>
>>23689639
Look man, this is just cope. You are trying to downplay IMAX by turning it into a living room TV math problem and that makes zero sense. IMAX engineers are not accidentally losing 80 percent of their light and then shrugging about it. They blast absurd amounts of light on purpose because they are lighting a screen the size of a building. After losses it is still insanely bright across your entire vision, not a little rectangle in front of your couch.

Sitting farther back does not magically make it dim in the way you are implying. The screen is massive and fills most of your field of view. Your eyes and brain do not care that your OLED can hit higher nits on a spec sheet when it only covers a small chunk of what you see. IMAX hits you with brightness everywhere at once. That is why it feels intense instead of just “nice.”

Yes OLED has perfect blacks. Cool. That does not suddenly make it better than IMAX. IMAX is not chasing perfect blacks in a pitch black living room. It is about scale, motion, and sustained brightness across a wall sized image for two to three hours straight. OLED literally cannot do that without dimming itself.

If OLED was actually “better” than IMAX, directors would just master everything for TVs and be done with it. They do not. Nolan, Villeneuve, Cameron, all of them still choose IMAX because nothing else gives that level of immersion. Your OLED might look cleaner in a dark scene. IMAX makes you feel like you are inside the movie. That is the whole point.

I hope you realize that your media player software actually needs to configured to play HDR files properly. Even if you have all the hardware, it's not on by default. You know it's not enabled when you get a dim and desaturated grey-ish image m.

The same issue happened months ago when anons were posting images from the 4K HDR Directors cut of the Gundam Seed Freedom movie.

>I hope you realize
did you push up your glasses while writing that? don't patronize me

>I can’t really say what went wrong here, but I can take some guesses. For one thing, nothing is lost in the grade, meaning black levels aren’t crushed beyond belief, and the highlights are all intact, but basically everything in the middle is in this weird low contrast purgatory. The result is a drab, desaturated transfer that barely exceeds 500 nits or so, even at its brightest moments. There’s also a bit of a green tint in the midtones, and a blue tint overall. I checked the colors out a few different ways to make sure this wasn’t some HDR signaling issue; one in MPC with SDR Tonemapping enabled, another in DaVinci Resolve outputting to an LG CX OLED display over a Decklink Monitor card (both in HDR and converted SDR), and once more with a Roku Ultra hardware-decoding the file directly to the TV. In all instances, the image was lackluster.

>Going back to DaVinci Resolve, I skimmed around the movie and looked for areas of extreme highlights (explosions, flashes, glowing effects, etc). These are reliable references for maximum brightness in an image, because they are supposed to completely blow out. As I said above, the film rarely exceeds 500 nits of brightness, with the majority of the image sitting in the well below 300 nits. Knowing that most HDR masters are graded to a roughly 1000nit spec, it can be safely assumed that there was a LOT of headroom for this grade to be pushed up. For reference, the CX (and most consumer OLEDs) can hit about 700-800nits in ideal conditions, with LCDs going quite a bit higher, but the standard expectation for a professional colorist is 1000nits.
>>
>>23689750
Yeah I get what you are saying about nit levels and midtone issues and you are right that the movie’s grading is weird. Hathaway definitely lives in that mid-tone purgatory where most of the image is dark and muted and the highlights never fully pop like a typical HDR master. That is a creative decision by Sunrise and the Director not the fault of IMAX or the theater. Theaters are just showing it as intended which exposes these grading choices more than an OLED can.

Watching it at home on an OLED will make it look better in terms of brightness and punch because OLEDs can boost contrast and take advantage of their per-pixel blacks. That does not mean IMAX is doing anything wrong. It is just that the movie itself has a very low overall luminance desaturated midtones and some subtle tinting that was not corrected in the grade. IMAX is literally just showing the movie’s grading faithfully at massive scale.

So yeah it is a dark and sometimes flat-looking movie and a lot of fans notice it. The takeaway is that it is not the hardware it is the creative master and how the film was graded. IMAX is just giving you the pure cinematic version of what the colorists intended. If you want it brighter or more punchy OLED is giving you a fixed version that the filmmakers never actually intended for theaters.

That has nothing to do with the perceived brightness of a display. You are talking about the immersion that you get from a display filling your whole vision.
We are arguing about how Hathaway's Flash isn't too dark when viewed in proper HDR.

Someone did a regrade of CCA that looks a lot better.
I say this as someone watching on a mini-oled quantum dot display with a pretty good FALD zone count that I thought Hathaway's 4K HDR release looked fantastic on, via a Shield TV instead of Microsoft's astonishingly awful colour management.
Hathaway is dark with intent, both major mobile suit clashes in the film are absolutely jaw-dropping with the right display setup. A good quality encode helps a lot too, the initial streaming versions were bitstarved. CCA was dark because whoever was re-grading seemed to just add higher highlights to the original grade, I think. It's a really weird approach and I really don't know how anyone signs off on it, even accounting for reference monitors not giving the same experience.

You've been told this dozens of times already.

Hathaway was so successful because of the Pandemic. People in Japan were stuck in their house for 1 to 2 years with everything closed. They wanted to get outside and DO something. ANY "decent" anime movie would succeed. It's not like Hathaway had some amazing story. Hathaway just happened to be there at the right place and right time when Japanese people wanted to vent their frustrations and go out.

Once people got it out of their systems, Hathaway dropped off the radar because it doesn't have much staying power. The story is bleak, the main character is a goofy murderer, and the action is hard to see because it's so dark.

The real money maker for Sunrise was Gundam Seed Freedom. It's the number 1 Gundam movie in the entire world and surpassed all records. And it didn't need the artificially boost of a pandemic to do it. People are STILL talking about Seed Freedom 1 year after it came out.

I lurk JPN twitter and even they have move on from GSF. Last year was all about GQUUXXX which was the most popular Gundam anime in terms of twitter discussion due to the influx of newfags that got into it and how much it got slammed for being shit.

Seed Freedom made double the box office amount that Hathaway earned. And Freedom absolutely destroyed Hathaway in Blu-ray and gunpla sales. If you are going to lie, then at least pick something that isn't so easy to check.
>>
>>23692285
Are you illiterate? All that is sales in Japan like I fucking said. GSF was only a hit in Japan it wasn't some worldwide phenomenon like other recently released anime movies or even GQ which actually did well in markets outside Japan unlike GSF.

Full Frontal was literally just Char's urge to fight divorced from the rest of his emotions. The only reason why that part of him even still exists is that he shed it the moment he and Amuro went Beyond The Time. Char genuinely did believe that humanity being on Earth is what made them evil because he knew that the Newtype collective conscious would keep people from wanting to go to war. If anything, Full Frontal being a genocidal nihilist has more to do with the fact that the Newtype dream (the source of Char's will to fight) was well and dead by the events of Unicorn.

Anyway, most people have never seen GOOD HDR, it's not something you can really explain. Like Black Frame Insertion on a monitor, as another example.

I disagree.

Problem is this adaption is almost certainly going to have to honor canon in ways the source never did, so it's probably going to lose that Hathaway's fate was as a martyr and figure of inspiration
