I Choose the Form of Gundam | Ready Player One 2018 Final Fight

Some scene from Ready Player One. A Japanese guy said, "I Choose the Form of Gundam".
Gundam RX-78-2

[@sfxan]

When I sat in the cinema, I didn’t know the everyone inside was a gundam fan, and when this scene happened, everyone fell to pieces

[@eliott970]

Jomsviking mannn I wished I would’ve saw this movie in theaters.

[@Technicallyaddicted]

Same. I started cheering when the rx-78 came on screen, I shut up immediately cuz I'm in a theater... But like half the theater was with me. Gundam fans low-key everywhere.

[@reallyhimongod]

Yeeaah I got so hyped when I saw it too!!

[@nv_chino]

Cool! And lucky

[@JudeFergy]

Never watched any Gundam in my life and this was still the coolest scene in the movie

[@papersparrow899]

Fun Fact: The pose the RX-78-2 did is the pose of the ZZ Gundam!

[@ReeceHoward06]

Which shows that whoever made that decision was a true fan of Gundam lore. You don't just reference ZZ Gundam by accident.

[@sulaimandaud6769]

Everyone else in the cinema cheered for the Gundam appearance, but I was cheering for Serenity

I did not see the trailer for this movie. Just saw it last night. When i saw that Gundam appear, i lost my shit. I woke up my wife and daughter.

Really ? Hahahaha

[@skywarp2414]

@@lightningmi when the samurai character mentionned " i choose the form of Gundam" i went...huh? No way! Then when he finished his morphing I screamed so loud it woke up my gf and daughter. It was around 1am. Hope there will be more in a sequel.

[@lightningmi]

You're fan of Gundam, aren't you

[@ZetaVec]

I had the same reaction but only me and my brother annoyed the hell out of our parents

[@selkirkswift]

The appropriate response indeed. This movie is so rewarding for having experienced all the other prices of culture in it and the fundamentals scene was just like a crescendo of all of it

[@reyonXIII]

And now he's part of actual Gundam, for the new SEED Freedom movie

[@jacechan5499]

man if he chooses strike freedom gundam tho. The fight would be over right there

[@stephenbyrne2170]

Or the Unicorn Gundam.

[@stopdropandroll]

strike freedom is crap

[@GhozianHakeem]

It's the 80s boys

[@kabob0077]

No, he'd give every person watching a seizure.

[@pxg1773]

I had the same thought

[@kiyo4562]

The actor then voiced a character in Gundam SEED Freedom as one of the minor antagonists

[@i-am-your-conscience]

Best scene. I head manly nerd tears in my eyes in the cinema :) Too bad there was far too few asian pop culture references in it.

[@Andrew-ml1xr]

I would be choosing last raven or white glint from the armored core franchise.

[@TheFLAMEXD]

Your Conscience I wanted there to be at least one Dragon Ball reference, but the Gundam was a nice touch.

[@annettesilvera6864]

i would of chosen the Megazord from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

[@ZetaVec]

I would have liked to see mazinger

[@pharzival2256]

It just gives you this feeling i cant explain it when he sayd orogande merigö

[@Evangelion543]

I'm amazed they didn't include Megas from Megas XLR. That robot has the most Weapons a universe could ever hold. Plus it being Godly.

[@GhozianHakeem]

Megas XLR was created around 2000s i guess

[@gearthehuman2115]

wait, i thought Ideon are supposed to be the strongest mecha in anime history

[@kaeda4854]

It was not mention in the novel

[@pheonix_soldier]

[@akiradkcn]

@@gearthehuman2115 that would be Demonbane but thats techinically from a Visual Novel so the title goes to Gurren Lagaan I guess

[@doyleeee]

of course GUNDAM scene was exciting, but I was more impressed Toshiro Mifune appeared, thanks Spielberg. people, please don't forget him.

[@CCBeZ17]

I always remember in the book that it was OG Ultraman V Mecha-Godzilla. But this was a pretty good one too! Makes me wonder what would’ve been if they had gotten the rights

[@mr.capturing8390]

We really need a live action of gundam.

[@ayylmao575]

No.

[@Nemesis0921]

Exactly, No

[@uqailyudanto289]

we actual alreary have its called gundam build real and i have to say its amazing

[@noahdimario1379]

There already is it’s called G saviour

[@riblo72]

There are rumors that Netflix is making one

[@Fadzi2342]

The excitement was audible in the theatre when I watched this. That because some of the people watching (older ones) are probably unfamiliar with the more modern IPs and would not get the references. But everyone gets Gundam.

[@Scytez]

Finally got the chance to see this movie and this moment was the selling point of the movie for me as a fan of Gundam and Gunpla. :D

[@onmyoujisubaruEXE]

1:28 ZZ Gundam's pose

[@EMiataM8]

That gundam do ZZ pose

[@Lyoko012345]

The one of the few change I’d make to this scene is when he enters his Gundam form I would have changed the music to the original Gundam theme song.

[@nodeloliver6201]

**[Nerd faint]**

[@cedy413]

OH, MAN!!! If I had the gauntlet, I would choose the form of GaoGaiGar, Arc-Gurren Lagann or Dygenguar

[@kadaleyes]

i'd probably go with the Liger Zero from ZOIDS

[@cqstlupin6074]

I would chose gokaiOh

[@thejamesdiamonds]

He should choose 00 it much cooler & kinda fit with the "I choose form of Gundam" since Setsuna(00's Pilot) also said I'm a Gundam

[@molusk4031]

Setsune is a gundam

[@RazShape]

Fight would be over in less than 10 sec or so.

The closest scene we can get to a Live Action Gundam's movie (just forget about the G-Saviour)

[@megemet5269]

Daito (meditating): hmm, should I go for Evangelion, Gundam, Mazinger Z, a Megazord, or Ultraman? Wade: Daito we need you!! Daito now!! Daito: 1:05

[@unknownunkown774]

Well originally he was to be Ultraman, but they couldn't get the license for him, so they went with Gundam instead.

[@cqstlupin6074]

Which megazord since sentai has a lot of mechs before Daizyujin

[@noelholzer3675]

I love that they use the original Godzilla theme song too

I would have gone with Barbatos to fight Mecha-Godzilla but I understand it’s a call back to the older Gundam style from the 90’s.

[@lucasjustlucas2176]

I think I preferred Gundam Unicorn. Also, before you get mad it's my opinion not yours and I'm not saying you should choose this okay?

[@maxs9062]

Lucas just Lucas I’m not mad. We all have opinions and I can see why you’d pick Unicorn for the fight. I’m thinking Barbatos is a better Gundam to use against Mecha-Godzilla because what it lacks in flashy weapons and abilities it more than makes up for with raw strength and agility, making it the most useful Gundam when not in zero-g environment. Plus all of Barbatos’s weapons have more weight to them compared to just having lasers and off brand light sabers. Which is no surprise since Barbatos is mostly a melee focused Gundam. But like I said, it’s just my opinion and I wouldn’t force it upon you.
