I think they're trying to avoid war as a theme since 00 ended and they ran out of topics that can be used as an excuse to sell giant robot armed conflicts.

fighting against ayyy lmaos is less overtly political, maybe its part of an effort to make gundam seem more apolitical and therefore more digestible to broader audiences who wouldnt like the anti fascist messaging. notice how even star wars has fallen out of favor

As I said before, just go with a "mankind managed to set up colonies beyond the Solar System yet there's still war" premise like in BattleTech, but that they only did this by reverse-engineering technology discovered to be alien in origin and that mankind still fights itself despite proof of alien life out there in the stars.
>>
>>23921364
Nah that sounds stupid.
>>
>>23921364
Well, future UC people discovered the Turn X, freaked the fuck out at the fact that a more advanced civilisation existed so they reverse-engineered it to make the Turn A. I think there's a lot of fuckery going on in the wider CC universe, hell, Rita in the Phenex and ELS Setsuna could still be out there.
>>
I really don't want Gundam to go full sci-fi. I like Gundam and I like Star Trek both for different reasons. If I want to watch a war against aliens that explores the human condition I will just watch the Dominion War arc of DS9 again.

I'd love that.
>>
>>23921490
Yeah, I can see political war fiction being a sensitive topic among overly-political normalfags, so Gundam's probably gonna be different for awhile. Think we'll see a new G Gundam successor?
>>
>>23921508
Eight went straight into standard gundam politics from the 2nd chapter on. I'd agree if it wasn't for that.
>>
>>23921490
>>23921508

There's still plenty of what we don't see in Universal Century, so I disagree. If anything, we need an animated work that serves as the prequel to CCA.
>>
>>23921511
I haven't read Eight yet, but you have a point, also Hathaway's Flash still has one movie left.
>>
>>23921514
>If anything, we need an animated work that serves as the prequel to CCA.
So Moon?
>>
>>23921508
That's the thing though, as of right now Gundam Eight is still colony political antics, we haven't hit the ayylmaos yet, but for the most part UC is suffering stagnation from being constantly reverted and kept at being about either the OYW, or CCA. Even in GQX making a radical alt timeline where everything should have changed substantially, it still was forced into being about CCA and the original OYW. UC is cooked for the time being.
>>
>>23921517
You already have a prequel in ZZ gundam.
>>
>>23921519
I think we need to transition into Late UC at this point, though like REALLY late UC, I'm talking the 0200s-0300's. It's new ground unless you count Gaia Gear and G-Saviour.
>>
>>23921517

More of animated elements from the Hi-Streamer books (rebellions by minor Spacenoid militant factions that were actually backed by Char's Neo-Zeon and Londo Bell being created to put an end to such threats).
>>
>>23921528
Could be interesting.
>>
>>23921532
That only sounds like it has the length of maybe 6 eps as an ova. Plus it's ultimately useless if it doesn't really clarify the state of how fucked Zeon's politics are to reflect how Char is shown in CCA, being a people pleaser, appealing to the zealots who still want to go to war with the feds, while he himself has gotten so very tired of it.
>>
>>23921523
This. The only real stretch of UC that really needs expanding on is the gap between LATE UC and Reco/Turn-A.
Take Gaia Gear or G-Saviour, remake them and then continue. There's a fresh 1000 years of intrigue in that gap
>>
>>23921548
Yeah, the final centuries of UC are the perfect way to set up a new story while sticking to a familiar timeline. The story of the civilisations that created the Turn A and Turn X would also be great to explore.
>>
I wish I cared about the timeline and setting even half as much as I cared about the characters.
>>
>>23921548
>>23921554
So is G-Reco 500 years after Turn A or is it sometime before? Tomino says the former, but Sunrise contradicts him.
>>
>>23921535

I'd argue for 12 episodes. Why? Given I mentioned that it'll involve why Londo Bell was created, you can use such an idea as an opportunity to animate game plots (definitely Blue Destiny since Yuu Kajima was to be a Londo Bell member who aided in pushing back Axis).
>>
>>23921143
is there more?

>>23921618
Yeah. You do know how to reverse image search, don't you?
>>
was Katejina's family allowed to stay on Earth because they were jews?
>>23921621
no
>>
thanks to the aging twink for TLing this
>>
>>23921567
You don't really need to make a prequel to CCA to explain a reason for why Londo bell was created. The shit that happened in ZZ is already more than enough of a reason they made Londo bell, not to mention the main problem with new UC stuff is that it all rides the coat tails of CCA, and they all glaze CCA for all the wrong reasons. Late UC is the only way healthy course for it as far getting actually new material for it.
>>
>>23921121
If it doesnt end in an Ideon-esque total eradication of both the Israel and Arab country stand in's then i don't want it.
>>
>>23921105
They want the muv luv crowd.
>>
>>23921431
>what is gqux
>what is gwitch
>>
>>23921693

An interequal between ZZ and CCA makes for a good exploration of how things work in Universal Century, whether be it Earth in the space colonies, when there isn't a big-scale war. Other than Blue Destiny, you can have the rest of this hypothetical series maybe touch on say, stuff from literary sources like why Amuro only settled for what was basically just the RX-78-2 Gundam but with funnels (the Nu Gundam) and have that subplot be an opportunity to animate Mia Brinkman from Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation Code Fairy as someone who aided Amuro in making the Nu Gundam.

Also, we also need to know what John Bauer, the EF government bigwig who helped make Londo Bell, looks like because I doubt he actually showed up at all in Hi-Streamer and was only mentioned in CCA (Mirai tried to use a letter written by Bauer that was to make sure she, Hathaway, and Cheimin reached Londenion but couldn't due to Adenaur Paraya's interference, who only opted to take one member of the Noa family with him because his second wife had enough of Quess and that he "owed Bauer a debt").
>>
Give me a fucking Turn A sequel.
>>
>>23922325
None of that fixes the actual problem with UC and if anything it only exacerbates it. All that is stuff you COULD make in to animated material, but why would you? What would be the point, other than to scrap out the last traces of potential stuff they can easily push by latching it on to CCA? That's the actual problem with UC. No one wants to introduce anything new into the timeline. UC can not be further developed because people are too afraid to actually continue it. It's they just stake gratitude claim being a part of an already existing legacy that ultimately don't even understand.

Ask yourself what is the UC timeline of Gundam, and their conflicts actually about? It is consistently presented as a cautionary tale about how mankind waging senseless wars over the earth keep setting humans back. CCA is no different, infact CCA was the most blatant Tomino could literally be about beating people over the head about this this reoccurring theme, yet you got who think we need real clarification as to why Char did what he did in CCA despite Char literally telling people why he did what he did. The most direct Tomino could have been and we got people treating CCA like it's it the fucking ancient texts needing dozens upon dozens of interpretations and recontextualizing.
>>
>>23922457
I should also clarify, no one is advocating for the closure of UC altogether. We are just at a point where we need to pivot away from it and focus elsewhere until they can finally get into a mind set of actually continuing UC beyond gratuitous milking.
>>
>>23921693
>he main problem with new UC stuff is that it all rides the coat tails of CCA
Yeah, because the endless glazing of the OYW never fucking happened and people neeeever got sick of that.

>Late UC is the only way healthy course
>Only potential is Crossbone, and possibly G-Saviour.
So you're clearly either a shitposter or a tourist. Your pedantic paragraphs that read like breadtuber diatribes make me assume the latter most likely.
>>
>>23922460
>We are just at a point where we need to pivot away from it and focus elsewhere
You mean like what we've been doing since the 90s starting with G Gundam? Do any of the AU's we've been having for the last few decades not register as actual Gundam to you?
>>
>>23922462
>Yeah, because the endless glazing of the OYW never fucking happened and people neeeever got sick of that.
My dude that was literally brought up by myself here>>23921519

And quite literally late UC is the current best way for UC at this time. It would actually lead towards continued advancement beyond possibly even victory, into uncharted areas.
>>
>>23922465
If we are gonna be adamantly against getting any UC material that's completely divorced from OYW and CCA, then yeah we might as well just keep making AUs.

Then you need to accept there's no future in UC anymore of you won't accept Late UC possibilities.

They do that still, but you have to be more specific when you say things like this. What sort of character-focused Gundam do you want? When you don't make it clear what you want and what's good about that sort of thing, they'll just make whatever the fuck with no regard to execution. G-Witch's primary thing is its characters, and I like its characters, but man oh man does it squander the shit out of them anyway.
>>
>>23922809
Yep!. Even stuff like Gaia Gear is just ultimately going to be traced back to OYW and CCA wankery, while attempts like G-Savior's conflict became prototypes for Gundam Seed Destiny's "I'm not on either side" 3rd faction (Illuminati=Clyne Faction)
>>
>>23921519
I still can't wrap my head around why Gquacks is the way it is. If you like Machu and her story with Nyaan and Shuji, you get to watch her be sidelined in her own fucking show for Char and Challia Bull's homoerotic tension. If you like the alternate timeline of Zeon winning, you have a universe that's barely elaborated on and a Zeon civil war that feels like it's rushed. If you like nostalgia, the show is almost making fun of you by having a literal giant Gundam show up as the final boss and Char having a magical girl transformation into his 0079 outfit. If you like meta commentary bullshit, there really isn't much there for you to chew on.
>>23922825
Guel probably has the most well written arc in the series at least. I really liked what they did with him.
>>
>>23922892
It's really simple. They had a lot of ideas of what they wanted to do with GQ but no where near the time to make all of it work, and instead of cutting things they tried to cram it all in anyway.

I was not suggesting for UC to be fixed. It's just more worldbuilding.

>>
>>23926490
Prequel, because G-reco, the religion of su-cord is still a thing. It really prominent and defined in G-Reco, but Su-cord was some shit that first came Judau in ZZ, he'd say it as a replacement for "oh my god." Turn A however mentions nothing about Su cord.

>>23921276
Star Wars has fallen out of favor because its bland, recycled corpo garbage that ran out of ideas 20 years ago.
>>
>>23926599
I think future Gundam works should be set in a post-Turn A universe. Hell, they could do what Build did and have older mobile suits appear but use MS Saga: A New Dawn's G-System as a reason why.
>>
>>23926599
Hell their most recent 'big' hit was Andor and that's the most politically charged Star Wars has been in a very long time. Even that's still basically recycling old EU ideas. While The Fuckass Adventures of Pedro Pascal and Baby Yoda kinda flopped, it still probably made Disney more money than Andor ever did. Star Wars is in the worst spot a long running franchise can be, creatively speaking.
>>
>>23926599
It will never stop being amazing to me that disney managed to kill star wars. That's like managing to kill pokemon.
>>
>>23926701
A major crossover work that's post-Turn A that uses designs from previous shows would be great. Like you said, kinda like Build but without the gunpla.
