ITT: Oh yeah, that happened.
>>24045355Kino moment.
>>24045359>Christopher Nolan stole Bane plane scene from Gundam Wing
General Septum, I'm Une.
now that the dust has settled, was that really necessary
>>24045365Heero is the Bane of Gundam Wing, not Zechs.
>>24045385Of coursh!
>>24045355Sexo.
General Septum did NOTHING wrong.
>>24045398Was he the guy who said "reduce the forces"? Damn, his English voice was so annoying. He sounded like Nappa from Dragon Ball.
>>24045385Stuff like that is the only reason Wing is remembered fondly, so yes
>>24045385Yes.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falls_survived_without_a_parachuteIf she didn't shoot him, there was a legitimate chance he might come back.
>>24045390Nineteen by the way...
>>24046010>19 years old Why are Japs so obsessed with having characters that are teenagers. Their entire country peaked in high school.
>>24046011They also have delusions of being hardcore gangster badasses in elementary schoolThey're really weird about youth
>>24046011It's because after high school they all become salarymen working 80 hours per week and the only escape they have from their miserable existence is remembering their time in high school.
what the fuck is up with her when she goes space diplomat mode? i found that funnyand yes, she does look better with her hair down
>>24046022Treize dickmatized her into a split personality And then dickmatized her out of it
>>24046024does she have a scene with just Quatre?
>>24045385Have you seen the shit people walk away from in Wing?
>>2404601119 is a normal age for war time exploits honestly. niggas were signing up for WW2 as fucking 14 year olds and leading men into battle before they could even legally drink. there's fucked up child soldiers right now that can probably murder half this site without blinking
Une Sex>>24046022>she does look better with her hair downWRONG
>>24046061Yeah, you basically want your actual combat troops to be late teens/early 20s because that's when you're physically mature enough to deal with the strain but still impulsive enough to want to run around doing lots of violence. You can tell a country is getting desperate when they start sending 30 and 40 year olds into battle, because those guys usually have lives to go back to and they won't be as willing to charge into machine guns to gain an objective.
>>24046010Why does Japan have a recurring problem with making characters look their actual age?
>>24046197Teenagers are the target audience, so you want the characters to be someone they can self insert into. However, realistic teenagers make for awful characters and stories, so they have to write mental and emotional adults and then change the number for the sake of their own sanity.
>>24045355Trans flag in the background :3
>>24045355God she was cute. Too bad she was stuck in a shit show
>>24046022It stems entirely from what would otherwise have been a throwaway line from Treize (or Noin, relaying from Treize, I don't remember exactly) that despite being named Lady Une, she doesn't actually act very lady-like. And because she and everyone in OZ love Treize so much, she bent over backwards to become more lady-like to please him.
>>24047190Iirc its after she tries to kill the gundam pilots by trying to blowing up a 5th of California with nukes. Treize asks her to find a gentler form of problem solving. So like the psycho she is, she creates a second personality that's literally kinder.
>>24045378>Lady Une (1)>Duo (2) Maxwell>Treize (3) Khushrenada>Quatre (4) Raberba Winner>Quinze (5) dunnohislastnameWhat did they mean by this?
>>24046011>Their entire country peaked in high school.Putting aside that that's the last point in freedom most people in Japan have in their life, as others said 19 is the average age of a soldier, Treize being 24 and a high-ranking officer isn't THAT crazy considering all the people old enough to be generals get killed off.I remember in Jocko's podcast once he get a comment asking about joining the military at 30, and he said there's nothing wrong with that and if anything you bring, knowledge, wisdom, and experience teenagers don't have....the downside is you have knowledge, wisdom, and experience which means you'll actually question the dumb shit you're regularly asked to do.
>>24046014>>24047267This isn't 1983 anymore, grandpa. The for-life employed salaryman hasn't been a thing for decades.
>>24047267Are you talking about this dude?
>>24046011Because your teens are the last time you are a person, globally really. Past that you are nothing more than a cog in the machine who is expected to abandon everything but work and maybe family life if you are lucky.
>>24047270Nah, in Japan, that's still a thing. It's why companies do stuff like leaving someone in some small room without work when they're trying to fire them without a justification.
>>24046197I'll never get the whole "Jotaro's so UNREALISTICALLY BIG" thin. Outside of metatextual reasons, he's half white and from a family of massive motherfuckers. We're not weirded out by Johnathan and Joseph being nearly 7', but its weird that Jotaro is?
>>24047268Wing will never beat the "Shoujo Gundam" allegations.
>>24047814So?
>>24047679>leaving someone in some small room without work when they're trying to fire them without a justification.Man, I would love this so much. Imagine getting paid to just sit in a room not doing anything for 8 hours. It sounds so relaxing, almost meditative. If they're banking on me feeling so much shame I quit, they're in for a rude awakening because I'll play that game of chicken without blinking until the day I die.
>>24047268
>>24045782If you're insistent then at the very least it makes more sense to shoot THEN throw him out rather than the other way around
>>24048016Much too messy that way. Do you want blood stains all over the interior?
her first name is Lady
>>24048973I always thought it was a title.
>>24048979no Treize calls her that when he forgoing any rank structure and she refers to herself as Lady when she's trying to focus. Noin also calls her Lady when she's trying to make her be elegant in a mocking way. The Gundam Wing dub is just riddled with errors and didn't pick up on Une have a Gundam-y name.
>>24045355Imagine the practice to nail that shot.
>>24050030Throwing mannequins out of planes for a few hours and shooting them?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nnl2kRsyVk
Hair up is best but hair down is good too.
>>24047230Heer"o" (0) Yuy
>>24048016Gotta flex your shooting skills in front of your minions too. Just to let them know not to fuck with you.
>>24050038Definitely seems like something she does just in case Trieze needs it done
>>24047273It's Jocko Willink who the fuck are you?
>>24048016Maybe she forgot.
>>24046010Legal in my state.
>>24061559Is there even a single place on the whole planet where 19 is not legal?
>>24061824In zoomers' heads
>>24047230treize is 13trowa is 3there are many other number characters as well, like septim
>>24061846>there are many other number characters as well
>>24045378>Tell me about the Zechs - Why does he wear the mask?
>>24061824Anywhere in the islamic world if unmarried. Most of the time the religious police don't have to do anything. The girl/woman/3rd grader/toddler is stabbed, hung, strangled, stoned or defenstrated to death by her family.
>>24047230Quinze is 15
>>24045385They even said the N word before they did it… it was a triple threat attack
>>24062857>theyShe. Lady Une has a known gender, she is female and the correct pronoun to use is "she." Singular "they" is for when gender is unknown.
>>24062987In canon they choose they as theyre pronoun
>>24062987Achuuuaally, "they" is only correct in plurality. The indeterminate for English is a neutral "he."
>>24062796and heero rhymes with zero
>>24063568False, pronouns are assigned, not chosen.>>24063584Singular "they" has been in use off and on for literally hundreds of years. There's nothing wrong with using it when gender is unknown.
>>24047230>Wu (5)>Trois (3)>Treize (13)>Quinze (15)FTFY
>>24045355Septum's dub voice is amazing. Best part of the show.
What did Lady mean by this?
>>24065180Aristocrats and royals who get installed without democracy are typically trained and educated from birth with the intention of them leading the nation in the future, whereas someone elected democratically can just be any joe schmoe retard without a lifetime of dedicated political education and training.
>>24065503In theory, but in practice democracies are led by pseudo nobility anyway. Joe schmoe stands zero chance of even making it to the ballot, much less actually being elected. The main difference is the concept of noblesse oblige, which while it may not exist in all noble families it sure as fuck doesn't exist in any pseudo noble ones.
>>24065515Lady Une clearly believes the theory. Anon asked what she meant, I explained what she meant. It's clear she holds an elitist perspective that would expect someone democratically elected to be less educated and inferior.
>>24045355>>24045378>>24046010answer me /m/, why the fuck would someone shoot a man AFTER throwing him out of a plane? is that part of her master plan?
>>24065121>that forum with the thread discussing his comedic genius no longer exists
