Gundam Wing Explained Episode 2 - The Fight for Independence

[@yeyeet4600]

Hey man I don't want to be a debby downer but you giving the mental health shoutout meant a lot even though you didn't do it for me specifically. I lost my best friend to suicide 4 days ago. Gundam was something we picked up while we lived in Korea together. Your videos have been my comfort youtube since his passing, thank you.

Trieze is by far the best "bad guy who is completely right about every thing" Like a classy senator Armstrong, "EPEON, SON!"

[@osakanone]

...Senator Armstrong isn't right about everything, though? Exceptionalism is not a meritocracy: Its anti-competitive and prevents the best ideas and people from rising to the top by rigging the game to maintain the exceptionalism because its tied to ego, and ego is inherently fragile and validation seeking, even at the cost of others. As Stafford Beer once said, "The purpose of a system (or idea) is what it does; there is no point in claiming that the purpose of a system is to do what it constantly fails to do".

[@Wzrd8]

@@osakanone yes, he was. If you'll notice Raiden ends up killing the wrong people over and over. Solidus and Armstrong both wanted to realize The Bosses dream(granted they missed the mark like every one else on that but still) They had an alternative to the patriot system that still cared about the plight of soldiers and the causes they would die for. You can't assume that with out these types of people it would be an ordered darwinian ecosystem. Nature has a meta. I'm sure god would understand the steps they were taking.

[@leaf0nthewind625]

Trieze definitely had a point, but he wasn’t right in the end. The fact that he put as much faith in the Romefeller foundation as he did shows that he couldn’t see the organization for what it was, and that is was inevitably going to abandon him and all it’s other soldiers in favor of things like mobile dolls because they didn’t care about humanity like he did, they only cared about themselves and their power.

38:42 TO SAY I GOT CHILLS!!!!!!!! Two-Mix was one of my favorite parts of Gundam Wing and Last Impression is still on my playlist because it goes THAT HARD. Two-Mix's iconic 90s synth style is just so damn good. Great selection for that moment.

[@ELcoyote576]

1:05:54 The best description of Wing Zero, You can hear and feel the love you have for this suit, Give this man a drink and a cigar, Stay golden fam.

[@lordfrostwind3151]

Its impressive just how much the issue of drone warfare has become in the years since this show came out. Watching the stuff out of Ukraine where the tech has been fully utilized, Treize was right. Sure it lets a weaker power punch up, but what happens when a major power uses it to annihilate lesser nations without breaking a sweat?

[@guymcguy9416]

Excellent video, eagerly awaiting the next part. Appreciate shouting out OPMeat's abridged series, they're criminally underrated.

Thanks for another great story analysis review BigMicahC, can’t wait to see the next episode.

[@Arthur-mt07]

Waiting for endless waltz this is the best summary explained and details and need to know and trivia review so far. Good job man! You won my follow hihi

[@MatthewSP117]

Trieze is by far one of the bests philosophical vilians in gundam history while adding in he Noin and zechs are part of the cool capes club. Wing zero best gundam ever even better then the gundams from cosmic era and what we have so far after it my dad usually preferred the Wing Zero Custom/Endless Waltz version but I like the tv version more and what we get in the Glory of losers manga and model kits we get the proto-zero which is a good blend of tv wing zero in the manga and then we get the Wing Zero angel thanks to Zechs/Millardo's Tallgeese Flugel. Love the video and looking forward to Part 3 though theres a confusing issue the show has mentioned After the Mobile dolls are unleashed on the moon base Deathscythe Hell and Altron gundams are stated multiple times of there completion percentage. Ep 25 as there being launched Duo mentions Deathscythe Hell and Altron are only 70% complete and there fighting is limited before tearing the Virgo models apart and escaping. Ep 26 Dr J mentions to Heero and Quatre that during the chaos on the moon base Duo and Wufei escaped and there gundams are only 80% complete with Professor G mentioning only minor adjustments are needed to complete them and with alittle time the 2 pilots can finish them on there own. Ep 32 After attacking an Oz transport fleet Duo mentions that Deathsycthe Hell is about 80% still but he does mention the remaining modifications shouldn't be to difficult. though it held its own against wing zero. So at some point Altron wasn't fully completed by the time of Episode 35 while in wufei's home colony. cause it could be easily explained that when Duo Quatre trowa and Noin went to peacemillion in episode 40 Deathsycthe Hell was fully completed and then Altron was the same in episode 44.

[@johnpine5171]

Hello! I just want to say that i love your content, I've been a subscriber of your channel since your videos about the One Year War and I loved every second of it. I'm kinda of new when it comes to Gundam, my introduction to the series was Gundam 00. I didn't pay attention to the plot, I just thought: "Cool robot fights!". I'm one of those people that have difficulties watiching old animes, but your series explaining the story of the old Gundam series made me really want to watch them myself. So thank you for everything!!! Can't wait for Episode 3!!!!

[@DomFortress]

For the cherry on top, you could've extend the Super Mario stage clear soundtrack to include the fireworks bonus, and sync up with some choice MS explosions by the Gundams.

[@collegerebel]

I always wondered why Tuberov looked like Christopher Columbus.

[@darthceasar3690]

38:42 this screne is cool as hell in sd gundam cross ray, and i presume in original serier as well. As wu fei arrive with his theme on full blast and also blasting leo away screaming "Because What we fight is right!!!" make me like the guy

[@gundamdragon]

Heero doesn't want zexch to hastat because of the hard work he put in on the wing gundam

[@ashharkausar413]

The fight with merc,vay and Wing zero is one of the best fights I've seen in gundam.

[@arominized]

damn, i miss Operation Meatier YT channel, they had a really good re-edit of Zech's turn and had more impact than the OG show.

[@Trevguyzero]

They still put stuff out on their site. Have a look if you haven't, they can use all the views they can get.

[@GrarrlbrownVT]

So fun fact about the scene where Duo watches DeathScythe get blown up. Scott McNeil, the English VA for Duo said the inspiration for his scream was that he remembered when his wife accidentally ran over his motorcycle.

[@alexanderleach3365]

The Tallgeese is built for speed; and for pilots with nerves and balls of titanium. LOL

[@TmsFin]

Ya know, hearing all these mentions about Chirico makes me hope for Votoms video.

[@NeightrixPrime]

I don't think Dobergun can operate as a beam weapon. They show it explicitly firing ballistic shells, and I think you're supposed to assume any less-detailed animation is just to save time/cost, or maybe they want some kills to look cooler than others? In any case the rules on in-universe tech obviously just aren't that strict.

[@MasterSwo-MK]

I still say Heeros survival is the Gundam franchises single BIGGEST asspull.

[@erikdeusenberry5307]

Does anyone remember a book that broke down all the Gundam wing stats I ownedone a long time ago and can't find it anymore but the stats are speed durability things like that I think it said technical manual or something.thank you for the video great as always.

[@Xandro6]

Not the butters dub over quatre 😂

[@KigaiOkasu]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but all of the Gundams have just as many verniers, if not more, than the RX-78-2, and it was still spaceworthy, so what's the deal?

[@Ven183]

It's about the placement more than the number, If the verniers are in a single plane you can only move on that plane.

[@kamenrideraquarius]

The Rx78 is space capable but it is not however escape velocity capable

[@kamenrideraquarius]

They also straight up didn't fully know until making CCA you'll notice all suits CCA and onwards have more micro thristers

Maybe you can answer me something man. At the end of its name is zero. Who's eyes were those at the end? It never made any sense to me was it Trieze? Zeches? It always bothered me everytime I watched the episode

[@gregza808]

Clever girl😂

[@wilreed8478]

Okay bith the Gundam pilots and Zechs are killing Leo's, Aries, Cancers, etc but are fighting one a other. Why are Oz going after the Alliance but fighting Gundams as well?

[@KigaiOkasu]

The Alliance is influenced in part by the Romafeller Foundation, but they aren't wholly loyal to the Foundation the same way OZ is, so OZ is trying to wipe them out and give the Foundation unchecked control over Earth and Space. The Gundams technically oppose both, but they recognize that OZ is the bigger threat. Side note: one of my favorite lines from the Episode Zero manga is when Duo is escaping with a stolen mobile suit and he shouts back at his pursuers, "If you guys want a war so bad, why don't you just fight each other!"

[@wilreed8478]

@@KigaiOkasu thank you 🙏

[@KigaiOkasu]

@@wilreed8478 One thing that I just thought to mention is that another reason why the Gundams are targeting OZ is due to the direction of the Gundam engineers, but I won’t go into Endless Waltz spoilers as to why for that distinction. As for the sheer number of factions to keep track of…buckle up. It only gets worse from here.

[@wilreed8478]

@KigaiOkasu Dude, you rule!! Thanks so much. That was the big thing I missed as a kid watching Wing and never seemed to wrap my head around rewashing as an adult. I find it incredibly interesting to compare and contrast the motivations of characters and institutions from each series.

[@heavyarms55]

These videos are great and I look forward to the next episode! I want to add nice touch calling Lady's tactics "Zabi-ish" - because that is 100% accurate! I like the scene where Heero offers the granddaughter the gun - it's a scene I didn't really understand as a kid - I didn't understand why Heero felt so bad about killing her Grandfather as a child. To me, anyone in a Leo was a bad guy who needed to die and so did their friends. I've watched Gundam Wing start to finish probably more than any other show in my life - as a kid I had the whole series on VHS. I never once considered the idea of the 5 Gundams possibly having an AI because of the Zero. There's not a lot of moments that support this idea really, but I DO really like it as a thought. I want to comment on your remarks on Treize at around the 43 minute mark and say that your position on him, and your ability to separate the character from the ideology has dramatically increased my respect for you. It's perfectly okay to like a character who is a villain in a story. Liking the character as a person and their role in a story does not mean we agree with their ideology and world view. I think a lot of dislike that Treize gets is because people can't make that separation. Also is that Gundam Wing Abridged thing a whole series? Heero's treatment for speaking out against violence and militarism in his school speech is something that always stuck with me. As a kid I thought he just got in trouble for talking about violence in school, but as an adult I believe he was being censored for his position. At the 51 minute mark, I just wanted to say, as a kid whenever Lady was on the screen, I wanted to do that to myself too.
