What are the odds it will actually be good?
Absolutely zero
As long as it's not zeonwank we're already ahead.
I think it most likely won't be good, but I kind of want it to be just to possibly piss off all the annoying Gundam fans constantly moaning about how it will suck (even though, again, they're most likely right)
>>23988093I expect it to be like the Warcraft movie, just a basic action flick that won't capture the fans or the casual viewers and just bomb in the box office
>We've come a long way since Side 7>Gotta say, that Mobile Suit of yours has nice gun, damn>Say that again
>>23988093It could be if they did it right, it took nearly a decade to get this out>>23988109Why’d you post Fan4stic?
>>23988093I dunno but Bandai and Sunrise only had one chance. If they cared, they would've gotten a better director with their billions of dollars.
>>23988115Anyway to get a director that watched all of UC from 79 to Victory?
>>23988117I dunno but I suppose they could put up a bounty to entice a director to become a gundam fan.
>>23988115>>23988117>>23988122The current director definitely has, and at least one of the writers was invited to a screening of Narrative and the Sunrise execs were shocked because he was spontaneously talking to them about ZZ.
Pushing 10 years of some mix of>Mid direction>Mid action>Mid dialogue>Mid plotI doubt or don't want a live action film breaking this drought
>>23988098It's based off 08th MS anon...
It's been pushed off for too long. It will never be completed and or suck like live action DBZ.
>>23988093I think it will be fine for what it is. Yes people have a problem with Sweeney but the rest of the cast is solid, the set photos look accurate, and the plot details (space and ground stuff, UC timeline, anti-war war film, etc...) all seem in keeping with the series. It will really come down to the quality of the action and scale.
>>23988127>ZZ ABANDON SHIP
>>23988127>spontaneously talking to them about ZZPICKED UP
>>23988127Eww. ZZ is hot garbage.
>>23988127ZZ is the best entry.
>mfw we could be getting Sydney's Sweenies drawn by Yaz as promotional art
>>23988127>he was spontaneously talking to them about ZZ.based, already better than poser ameritards.
>>23988127>ZZ mentionedAlright he knows the series quite well then, nice
>>23988127deadass the first good thing i've ever heard about this movie
>We're getting Sydney Sweeney in G-Generation
>>23988127Imagine the guy telling the execs all about his favorite ZZ characters, his favorite animation cuts, the nuances and themes buried deep below the surface of ZZ and how it's more than meets the eye but after he finishes talking one of them goes "プルちぁんかわいいですね" and the rest go "よねー"
>>23988127Any source for the writer? I hope he's not the guy that shoved in the ZZ pose in RPO.
>>23988113
>>23988127who, exactly?
>movie comes out>japs draw a ton of Sweeny fanartand porn
Fully predicting Last Airbender levels of dialog where people just deliver exposition and then move the plot forward with no feeling or love for the source material.
>>23988340Anon we are not getting "what if Tomino directed live action", ever. Just enjoy the action, set pieces and the boobs.
>>23988127The previous writer (Brian Vaughan) for the Vogt-Roberts version. Current guy is writing and directing and he's aware of UC lore and imagery which I'm also likely to believe since the leaked photos show a 1:1 HG Zaku foot sole.
>Enjoy your green screen, jeet animations and women in boxy unflattering uniforms.
>boobs and botsGuaranteed win
>>23988093Near zero.
>>23988341>Just enjoy product and get excited for next product.
>>23988408Just Enjoy Product and Endlessly Dumpster Product Before Release are equally retarded
>>23988412You've only got so much time on this earth, Anon. You're better off assuming the worst and throwing shit you don't think will be worth your time in the dumpster. There's no way to get back the 2 hours this shitstorm is going to take from you.
>>23988127I still don't trust it, ever since gunn did the bullshit of "I'm a comic fan" and then proceeded to make dumb retarded changes to the characters or stories. Like Superman parents being evil or the entire ending of supergirl.
>>23988408>Just enjoy productIt's a fucking Gundam live action movie by hollywood, what are you expecting some avant garde french noir with robots directed by Jodorowsky after he Edo Tensei'd Audrey Hepburn and James Dean?
>>23988425Slop is what I expected; and slop is what we shall get. That's why I'm not gonna watch it, duh.
>>23988426That's okay, no one can force you to do so. Just know that the whole "muh time on earth is limited" falls through when you spend hours upon hours talking about how much you dislike something.
>>23988440Not when shitting on things while doing other stuff is more fun than quietly consuming trash. :^)
>>23988093You just knew the Gundam movie was going to fail the moment it was revealed Sydney Sweeney was casted in a main role.
>>23988510That's the moment I knew the movie would be great.
It's all performative, we all pre-emptively know everyone is going to pretend G-Saviour is better.
>>23988562>pretend
>>23988093It's being made by netflix. The chances of it not being shit are roughly 0.000000001%
>>23988736It's being made by Legendary. Netflix is only doing the distribution
It will pretend it doesn't exist
>>23988127>ZZthere is hope
>>23988093here is your "movie">retarded faggot and whore actors on their late 40's pretending to be teenagers>sand terrorism ensues and there is forced military drama>watch characters you don't give a fuck parrot nonsense nonstop for 87 minutes>the gundam is not even called that, its an AI controlled drone that appears for DOS 2 TWO frames to instakill wahtever shit villain they come up with>of course, there are no mobile suits AT ALL>rush end credits, the son of the faggot villain prays some mulsim shit and add ZEON>THE END PLZ CLAP
>>23988093The same as the release of the unredacted Epstein Files.
>>23988376Bayformers had both of those, look where it turned out
>>23988948First one was good.
>>23988948First two were fun.
if it's bad, ZZ is terrible forever okay never tell people to watch ZZ ever again
>>23988948Bayformers looked great for the most part compared to modern CGshit of pedowood.
>>23988341>we are not getting "what if Tomino directed live action", ever.I'd rather have Kevin Smith writing Gundam.
Probably won't be good but we might get some cool design at least...Wonder how they will adapt the movie characters in other media though. will they use the japanese dub actors?Also, is it streaming only or will it be available on cinema?
It's going to be shit, no matter who directs it. Ever since 2012 humanity experienced an unconscious spiritual death making it so that people are uncreative and lost the ability to recognize whats good and not
>>23989153>rest of the world: yeah corporate greed is shit but what can ya do>americans: THE ANTICHRIST WAS BORN IN THE YEAR I STOPPED LIKING HOLLYWOOD MOVIES AND WE SHIFTED INTO A TIMELINE WHERE MY HAIRLINE IS RECEDING BECAUSE I STOPPED DOING NOFAP AND MY MOM VOTED FOR BIDEN
>>23988093I hope the tone is like the first Pacific Rim movie
>>23988096FPBP
>>23989183I am not American, and stop projecting so much over a simple fact
>>23988093I expect something worse than Dragonball Evolution.
>>23988412When I get proven right every time with my doomsaying I see no reason to stop.
>>23989183I don't fap, and my mom has never voted for a Demonrat, you pathetic stain.
You think he'll ever get tired and leave?
>>23988127This is too based to be true
>>23990715Well good thing your mom died.
>>23990728if only she did before spawning him
>>23990719Doubtful. That requires a level of introspection that he's too broken to be capable of.
>>23990719Probably not if you keep giving it attention.
RfV was almost complete dogshit but the fights had enough neat stuff to not make me hate it outright.If we're lucky it'll at least follow up like that, completely forgettable plot and characters but a few scenes that manage to stick.
>>2398809360/40Positive Points+Legendary has a decent track record+The director is also the writer and he also has a good track record+Sunrise is involved and active in development/production+Netflix has little to no creative control and is simply buying the rights to distribution, like with HathawayNegative Points-distribution back and forth-All those big budget "block busters" that netflix put out like The gray Man or Electric State started out development at other studios, eventually those studios saw that those movies were going to be duds so they cut their loses and either sold the finished film to netflix to recoup the production budget or sold the film while it was still in production.either way going from Netflix, to theatrical and then eventually BACK to Netflix isn't a great sign
>>23988419>proceeded to make dumb retarded changes to the characters or stories. Like Superman parents being evil or the entire ending of supergirl.That's what makes him a great director. Slaveish adherence to source material is for hack faggots.Making his parents dicks makes Superman's good nature wholly indisputable. He's not good because his parents told him to be, he's good because he is genuinely a kind and caring being.
>>23990863this. it's the most aryan shit possible. some ubermensch like superman are innately good. hackfrauds will argue "bro its nurture, it beats nature!" but no. some beings are defective, and some are just outright superior.the faustian man goes his own way and discards the sordid subhuman comic book origins of the character, transcending the source material. to do otherwise is to be a slave to the status quo
>>23990856>Legendary has a decent track recordAlready wrong.
>>23990866>it's okay when my pedo overlords do it
>>23990810For all it's faults they did kill off the annoying fat guy right in the first episode
>>23990856 I don't think it's from Netflix, they dropped out a while ago.
>>23990856>Legendary>Decent track record Even if you're only talking about the last decade, that's not true. >Director/writer has a good track recordHe is an entirely unremarkable director/writer of forgettable projects; none of which even approach science fiction. He is more than likely a studio yes-man brought in after Vogt-Roberts and Netflix jumped ship.>Sunrise is involvedSure as shit didn't help WfM or GQuuuuuuX>Netflix has no creative controlGranted.
a main entry of Gundam cannot be condensed to a single movie, so unless is a prequel, i dont think this thing wll end well, plot-wise.
>>23991767It can easily be a two hour story. RfV was about two hours of run time. Initial shock and awe, go chase the bad guy, learn from mistakes, final confrontation. If they lean into Americans growing up with Wing, we could have something like 0083 where there are two more rx-78 prototypes running around, and Zeon stole one of them.
>>23991813They will make a colony drop a finale
>>23990810yeah this is about where i'm atit will be bad but there might be some cool action sequences
>>23988093I thought that was Grimes for a second, and now I realize that a Gundam movie without Grimes, is destined to be a flaming pile of dogshit.
>>239940510/10Are you even trying?
SYDNEY IS ATTACKING THE CITY! SEND OUT THE MOBILE SUITS TO STOP HER!!!
>>23994061>Shin Ultraman: The Novelization: The Play
>>23991881>it will be bad but there might be some cool action sequencesthat's just par for the course for modern Gundam
>>23988093>the west
>>23994537Both look like shit.
>>23994537Ugly dumb design. Baby shit green self defense training suit.
>>23995026Can ANY modern celeb act?
