They mistaking Spacenoid independence for Spacenoid supremacy.

[@Alte.Kameraden]

@@EJAXK13 I wouldn't say that. Similar to when the Farmers Resist Lenin's resolution and were proclaimed Class Traitors ie Kulaks. Spacenoids who side with the Federation are deemed Traitors in a similar sense. Like many Revolutionary movements that came before, those people might as well be the enemy, in actuality they were. It's also a fundamental flaw in a lot of revolutionary movements who proclaim they're fighting for a specific people, meanwhile not all those people rarely even half even side with the revolution, they may not resist it but they still don't' side with it. This rings true even with the American Resolution, I think 2/3s of the Colonist wanted nothing to do with it, and loyalist who chose to oppose it were treated lower than dirt. I honestly think the entire narrative of Mobile Suit Gundam is built around how Revolutions become corruptions of their own ideals. If you remember Amuro's little short speech on Axis when being chased by Char about Intellectuals and Revolutions. With Zeon Zum Deikun basically being Space Marx. The Principality is a Perversion of Deikun's original vision meanwhile Deikun himself was pretty much as insane as Marx was. Similar to how disillusioned Marxist who lost faith in what they deemed a bankrupt ideology broke ranks and eventually became the founders of Fascism.

[@traphimawari7760]

To be fair, the Zabi's did twist the ideals of the principality, it originally founded on the idea of independence but Degwin or should I say Ghiren specifically went full on space naz1 that he took being called Adolf H of his time as a compliment.

[@lc9245]

Character design that missed the point of Gundam aside, I wished this for style of depiction for Gundam for years. It is true that depicting toys in lowlights condition would not look as good, but it can be. I recently came around to read The Origin to see Yasuhiko Yoshikazu's vision and got hit my a wave of nostalgia that makes my hands shake back in the day. The dark, heavy tone, heavy metal sci-fi style of the 80s and 90s were the reason why I fall in love with the genre. It instantly sends me back to the first time I entered Armored Core 2 and the Core started moving. That heavy atmosphere of controlling a giant mechanised machine, blowing up others, a metallic terror, just clicks. AC6 left much to be desired, atmosphere and storywise, but the dark, heavy mechanised mood of the trailer was very IG mecha and it was just, glorious. Gundam with that sort of mood with its anti-war tone would fit right in, next to the usual beautiful classic "anime" style depiction. They have tried it many times, but they should have just went full balls to the walls like this during the edgy early 2000s era. Seed was iconic in its own ways, but I have to admit AC2 and 3 made me liked MS IGLOO more. Even that could have been even more grimy and mechanical. Having an even more brutal and tense Igloo coming out on the aftermath of Fallujah would have been brutal.

[@Peasham]

Oh I'd love to know what "point" they missed.

[@lc9245]

@@Peasham I’ve explained this replying to others below, but here goes. The original 79 Gundam had a heavy emphasis on anti-chauvinism, it was very cynical towards the military and militarism in general despite selling them as cool toys, which was what made the franchise stood out in my opinion (mecha was not a new genre in 79). An important part of the core concept was the death and conversion of individualism that’s fetishised into devotion for the military. Family, connection, love and all of that are used by the military as weapons at any place, any time, any cost. That’s why even though Gundam is iconic, the characters design even in newer series always remain rather generic, except for the very select few, and not necessary the “good guys”. Char for instance, stood out because of his iconic masked look. The reason why he’s “allowed” certain leeway is because of military reason. He’s an ace, his image served as a weapon to inspire the generic soldiers to die for the glory of battle. That’s extremely cynical view of the military practice. It actually addresses something uncomfortable about the US military that non-Americans often observe, such as in Starship Trooper. Decorative items and R&R things that are allowed are only there to distract the soldiers from the grim reality of militarism, making the military seem more “friendly”, rather than the monolithic, uncaring meat grinder that it is. That’s why having freely piercing, tattooed with cool haircut, “strong female” leaders figures work against the very idea that Gundam was build on. It’s hard to see that cynicism mentioned above if every other major military characters are allowed so much individualism. It makes the military depiction seem almost “accepting”, “cool” and in the end, “tragic”, rather than soul sucking and downright evil. Never forget how cruel, cunning and ultimately uncaring the “nice looking” female officers of the Federation were in the 1979 series. They are “conventionally attractive”, squeaky clean in the image of the military, but their actions show they are anything but. Willing to sacrifice civilians to lure out the enemies is the tip of the iceberg and it was done so casually one wouldn’t bat an eye almost. This is why reducing every situation into “awakening” or not is reductive and even downright disrespectful, especially if it was done without thoughts and consideration and especially being done to somebody else work. This goes both way of course as idiots would proclaim something as “went awaken” to offhandedly dismiss a thoughtless addition for conformity. Both are equally disrespectful and dismissive of the works and efforts being made.

[@Peasham]

@@lc9245 A cursory glance at any classic Gundam show shows that individualism was never once denied to any of the characters, the women actually NOT being conventionally attractive as Tomino fought for them, and Matilda specifically, to have short and at the time masculine hair despite the studio wanting her to be more, you guessed it, conventionally attractive. The actual point of Gundam is in fact that individual people within these factions aren't necessarily evil, whereas their leaders necessarily are, as admitted by Tomino multiple times it is first and foremost a story about humanity, not a story about humanity killing each other. However uh, no, Zeon propaganda specifically was focused on being scary and intimidating, it was never focused on conformity or squeaky clean posturing, I don't know why you've focused more on the Federation than Zeon here as all of these character designs are Zeon, not Federation, and they very much fit the image of intimidation. Though regardless, we can see through the various character designs that none of these factions have ever had any form of consistent standards anyway.

[@lc9245]

​@@Peasham I don't know if my composition or your comprehension is the issue to be addressed here, but it's like you were talking to someone else, comically missing my point. Let me be clear, probably one last time, about what I said. The show was anti-militarism. That has nothing to do with "denied individualism" through "cursory glance". You are lumping distinctive character design so you can tell them apart vs designing individualistic characters who are shown to be different and distinctive from each other. I'll address that in the uniform part. That point also has nothing to do with "a story about humanity" vs "a story about humanity killing each other". Zeon propaganda even less so and what do you mean by "focused more on Federation than Zeon"? Let's bring it back. Let's start with Zeon's propaganda? Zeon was quite deliberately alluded to as being "fascist-like", not "intimidating" per se, more "chauvinistic", "militant", "fascistic". The key word might be "glory in victory" or "strength". I don't want to bring too much analysis into the discussion to digress, but a particular memorable moment was the funeral in one of the earlier part/episode, in which the grieving father is reminded of his duty to the military and used his son's death to rally the troops. That's chauvinism. It is weak to grieve. Characters all have very visible emotion, but those emotions are eventually channelled through violence. The most decorated, individualised, as in accessorised, uniquely MADE to be by the character to be associated with them, other than their looks for reason I have mentioned that they need to look different from each other to be tell apart, aka their hair, is their weapon: the mechs. That's a given, since it is a show made to sell toys, but I think they cleverly used to as a point to be made about the nature of what you referred to as "necessarily are (evil)": the pursuit of victory, strength, chauvinism. This is why so-called anti-war movies that brought in things like brotherhood, soldiers putting cards on their helmet, posters on walls, listening to the radio and such which were supposed to invoke the "war is hell but we are still humans in the end", are condoned, accepted .... by the army. They know it romanticised war, and made the military "human". This is why I said adding soldier with piercing and tattoos, very individualistic as in being able to freely expressed their own uniqueness, hobby openly while serving in the military, as missing the point. It romanticised the military. I brought up the Federation's actions precisely because of that. They did not shy away from depicting the supposed good guys as being monsters despite them fighting fascists. Even the women military staffs were clearly capable of cunning and cruelty. It is that militarism, duty bound, winner takes all attitude that cast a long shadow on the show. Part of the shadow of militarism that can be seen was through the lens of conformity. Uniform is the first thing that made someone part of the military. Almost everyone is featureless, soldiers are depicted without accessories or special characteristics, which is precisely why Char felt special and stood out with his iconic helmet. Another part was Fraw joining the military by donning the greatest of conformity, the uniform on, and then Amuro putting on the fighting kit. That's why I brought up conformity. Militarism necessitate conformity for the sake of power and victory. Only through victory can one really be and make a "different", like Char. That's why everyone express themselves mostly through the only thing that represents them the most, their weapon, the robots. Having characters being allowed to "be free", is actually against that very spirit. I am very well aware that they can use those characters in a such a way that it twists the entire concept of "rebellious soldiers" in the military. Perhaps they already did by letting the fascist have cool hairdos, tattoos and piercings with people from diverse ethnicity, mocking or deconstructing other shows/tropes in which the "bad guys" are conformists and the good guys are diverse, tolerant. Maybe despite the veneer of the tattoos, piercing, the 2nd Lieutenant is completely a buy-the-book, follow order to the letter kind of soldier who would not hesitate to reduce children to ashes, and that all it takes is her to be allowed to have piercings. Now that would be an "appropriate" insertion of individualism expression for military character in an anti-war, anti-chauvinism series. I bring this up to show you I am not inherently against inserting such character design, but it must fit the theme of the series. If it's inserted just because, then it just would be missing the point and out of place.

There have been plenty of updates to older properties that have looked like quality updates (Ghost in the Shell SAC, Macross) Then there are also things like this or the Michael Bay-led Transformers films which took perfectly fine robot designs and made them look like they were made out of scrap metal.

It looks like a variant of the ground type gundam, though the back mounted equipment might imply this happens in the Origin timeline. Until Bandai tells us which timeline, we won't know.

In every available translation Emma Sheen states she found Amuro while driving around with her girlfriend, the same series containing a feminist rant from Reccoa Londe, a short-haired woman with very few feminine features, one we're supposed to agree with her on. Not to mention, Tomino and the franchise's magnum opus Turn A contained the franchise's first gay man who was explicit within the text of the show, Guin. On top of that, Tomino likewise stated that women are on average smarter and more competent than men as a general rule and that he strived to make the franchise as diverse as possible as a critique of Japanese nationalism.

[@NunyaBusiness...]

@@Peasham I was young when I watched it, so perhaps I missed some things, but that kind of goes to the point. If a kid can watch it and not see any sexual agenda, then that's not the purpose of the characters. They are deeper than that one aspect of their being. Now days, that's not the case. They make a character one of whatever select "picked on" group and that's the only purpose of the character. They're one dimensional. Even if the sexual undertones are there, which I'm still not convinced of, they are not the point of the story. I'm betting they will be major parts of the story, if not the main story of this one. Also, nothing I can find on the original Gundam, not modern ones made when these concepts became the in thing, says anything about sexuality, racism, feminism, etc. He flat says that he wanted to tell a realistic robot story about war and the horrors of war. If you're not looking for sexual undertones they aren't big glowing neon signs in the original series. There are love stories, but nothing that is story derailing. It's a war story. The trailer for this looks to very much be a push of "women are as strong as men, or stronger" and I am betting the face tatted septum piercing woman is 100% going to either be lesbian or trans, and will be a heroic noble amazing awesome queen. Possibly with a tragic death at the hands of some bigoted faction/character. It'll be about normalizing what is not normal and demonizing what is, rather than just being about a good story. Netflix can't help themselves. They always push "the message."

[@Peasham]

@@NunyaBusiness... Children did pick up on it immensely, 0079 literally kickstarted the creation of Yaoi with young girls, we know this for a documented, historical fact. In 1986, Reccoa Londe had an entire minutes-long rant about the inequality of women as compared to men and the abhorrent way men treat said women. Later that same year, Haman would give up and let herself die due to the realization that women will always be oppressed by men, something that horrified her to her core as a victim of said oppression. None of this is subtextual, this is all the explicit, unadulterated text of the show with zero subtlety, these things being flat-out stated to the viewer. And yes, both of these characters have derailed their individual stories, and yes, we're supposed to side with them on these issues. Women have always been stronger, smarter, more civilized and competent than men in Gundam, as Yoshiyuki Tomino described this to be a rule Gundam must follow and, indeed, has followed.
