+And if TDA chooses to retcon how Meiya was supposed to leave but then didn't it's another pointless fuckup for the plot when the choice to keep her on earth already exist. ngl I do wonder what clusterfuck would have happened in the world where Meiya does leave with the fleet, and whether Kurogane would have stuck with Ikaruga without his Meiya putting the Empire above herself.

+You cannot be serious. This is about as bad as TDA readers not realizing Yuuhi is actually Meiya. In what universe would it not be Meiya?

+>so that Yuuhi could perfectly mimic Meiya and also bear Takeru's child? 
+It's less Yuuhi mimicking Meiya and more that they're so similar already. And perfectly? It's only one scene, she doesn't say much, is many years older, and seen from behind at a distance. The only questionable bit about that part is the hair color. 
+How do you know it's Takeru's child?
+--- 21655556

+Personally, I'd say the chances Yuuhi leaves are pretty slim and that she'd rather die. Also pretty sure that Meiya is sent into orbit directly from Yokohama base, so I was assuming Yuuhi and Meiya had switched beforehand. And they're not similar enough down to the point of sharing the same mannerisms and the same VA. And hasn't Kouki also said that the epilogue is whatever heroine and Takeru's kid?

+The Magoroku's a neat weapon, although it looks like you have to keep resheathing it and using Exterminate Slash to get its damage up to par with some of the other sword weapons like the Moonlight. The advantage is that the progsword is one-handed and just emulates being used like a two-handed weapon through Exterminate Slash, so if you take wounds to one of your arms you can keep using it as a one-handed sword.

+The specific design philosophy was to give you a weapon you could use to blitz (i.e. do more damage) that didn't require you to take a 2 stamina action. You can move up or use an AT power for 1 stamina, then ready the Magoroku. Next turn you can blitz for 1 stamina and then either ready it again or perform some other actuion. With any other weapon you have to spend 2 stamina (and you only get 2 a turn) to blitz, so it changes up the action economy.

+
+My problem with how the remaining 12-13 episodes of WfM are being treated as a "second season" is that they may attempt to rush ending Suletta's story. We now know she isn't Ericht Samaya and I can imagine we'll know how different she is from Ericht (is she a random child Elnora turned into a physical facsimile like the Elans, is she a clone, or is she Ericht's body that was slapped into cryosleep in order to transplant Ericht's brain and/or soul into Aerial?) in due time.

+
+My problem is that 12-13 episodes isn't enough to explain why there was a Drone War in the first place, why mega-conglomerates like Benerit Group are more powerful than governments in the first place (this affecting the relations between Spacians and Earthians where the latter treated like slaves as they work in Spacian-owned factories and should they complain about it, they're punished for it), and how much of the Solar System is colonized (since Mercury is populated, albeit sparsely, that would mean it, Venus, Earth, and man-made space colonies are within Benerit Group's domain but is that all of colonized space? Would Mars and beyond colonized too and are they also under Benerit's control or by another mega-conglomerate?). Is all of this even related to why Delling wants to enact Quiet Zero (with Elnora's reasons for helping Delling with this endaevor being for personal reasons)?
+
+Save for Quiet Zero, I believe most of what I said in the last paragraph at >>21654318 will not be resolved after the last episode of this "season 2" and thus, preventing Suletta from being exposed to the post-Drone War world. To me, that's what is needed to be done to make Suletta more compelling: how she feels about the post-Drone War world beyond Mercury and Asticassia and if she has an answer to make a better world. 24-25 episodes isn't enough for that.

+But where and when? If it's stuff like the Drone War and how much of the Solar System is colonized, that has to be answered now and it needs to be explored by the protagonists.
+
+I know this week's upcoming episode will focus on Dominicus troops going after Dawn of Fold but as I said at >>21654318 and >>21654319, I fear they may just rush that for the following:
+
+1. Quiet Zero
+
+2. What Suletta really is and her relationship with Miorine
+
+3. Shaddiq's schemes
+
+If those seem to be the only plotlines that can be solved within 10-11 episodes, the ending might be too open and it might affect further opinion on Suletta as a Gundam protagonist (we now know she's just a puppet for Elnora's schemes and while last week's episode does have her struggling to go on as before after what happened to Sophie, it won't be a satisfying conclusion for her if she doesn't seem to change).
+
+I mean, how can she be able to set up a school of her own on Mercury if she isn't given more exposure to the post-Drone War world? Not only that, even if Quiet Zero is stopped, Shaddiq's schmes are foiled, and that Suletta and Miorine get a fairy tale ending, colonized space is still under the yoke of corporations more powerful than governments and thus, business as usual for Earthians (working in Spacian-owned factories where they're treated like slaves and attempts to change that are brutally surpressed). Can we like Suletta if her story just ends there?

+Blame Takuya Okamoto for not having that. This is why he came up with corporations being more powerful than governments for Ad Stella:
+
+>That would be correct. Though, exactly how that relates to the story, well, you’ll just have to wait for the broadcast to find out. But, during the proposal stages, the reason we chose corporations as one of the factors is because of the happenings in the world, as I mentioned earlier, and reaching a younger generation. We felt that a major war between major powers, something like nations pitted against nations, wouldn’t seem that realistic and would be difficult to connect with. Smartphones and online shopping are pretty easy to navigate, but most of what we own and use today is dominated by specific corporations. So I figured that a world everyone might connect with more today, one divorced from war, would be a society dominated by such corporations.

+>So I figured that a world everyone might connect with more today, one divorced from war, would be a society dominated by such corporations.
+More than anything I think this kind of view is naive. Corporations are a large part of the world and they have a lot of power, I don’t mind that part being exaggerated, however it doesn’t hold up that well if you aren’t exposed to the less powerful but still over the people government that much. Instead of it feeling like it’s a corporation taking advantage of an outplaying the government, it just feels like they’re one in the same which defeats the point of specifying that it’s a corporation. They got so caught up in the corporate aspect that they forgot to give the rest of the world any kind of connection outside of just telling us the corporations control everything but they’re totally separate from the government.

It's very obviously written for a general audience whose reference point for Gundam is just the previous theatrical films, with a handful of throwaway references to Zeta (and technically ZZ, although only inasmuch as ZZ continues and concludes the Axis stuff from Z) that are all either self-explanatory anyway or just so insignificant that you don't even need to know they're a reference to appreciate what's happening. It's not like the film stops making sense if you don't know all the details about Axis Zeon when Char makes a passing reference to it in his speech that is otherwise just restating all that Deikun ideologocial stuff from the movies, for example

+Clover did actually go into brief discussions with Sunrise to reverse the decision after an unexpected uptick in toy sales over the Christmas/New Year period, but by January 1980 (when 39/43 scheduled episodes had already been broadcast) it was too late for the production to feasibly be extended, which is why Sotsu agreed to sell the merchandising license to Bandai instead in at the beginning of the year (before the initial broadcast period was even over). TV ratings were never going to make a difference either way since Clover were the main sponsor, it was their support that was the most important
+> That, coupled with the explosive success of gunpla introduced in 1980, made re-runs and the compilation movies possible
+The show was re-run almost immediately, and the movies were announced in October 1980, when there had been exactly 3 Gundam kits in the Best Mecha Collection (1/144 Gundam, 1/100 Gundam, 1/144 Char's Zaku). It was just following the trend that had been going since the success of Yamato and doing a theatrical versions of a TV anime, which had yielded some decent results in the interim (Galaxy Express 999 and the first couple of Lupin III movies are ones which came out very well from that little movement, as well as Yamato sequels becomming an annual staple for some years). The Gunpla Boom definitely carried Gundam to an insane level of cultural penetration, but it wasn't the basis of Sunrise and Bandai choosing to try and resuscitate it. The following was there, and the existing fanbase informed Bandai's decision to acquire the license

+--- 21654938
+>>21654870
+>Why did Quess flip to Char's side mere seconds after meeting with him?
+Desire for attention from an older male role model. Her real dad is an unpleasant person and she resents him, while Amuro's too busy trying to do his job to coddle her (and also she'd be 'competing' with Chan for his attention, which looked pretty unlikely after her attempt at confronting her). But Char makes himself appear available to her, takes the time to encourage her, and vocally reciprocates her affection (to her face at least) to make her feel special. Plus she's already pre-disposed to be sympathetic to his Newtype waffle, what with her association with smelly hippies and personal dislike for Feddie politicians (that's probably in large part just her projecting her strained relationship with her father onto the institution he represents)
+>was Char really using Quess as a substitute for Lalah
+A very little bit. He's aware of the similarities, but Lalah's still his waifu 4 laifu. At the end of the day, his main interest with Quess is in her Newtype abilities, and he is still just bullshitting her to get her to pilot the α-Azieru, still keeping her at a distance. He'll fawn over her to keep her interested, then go off and bury his head in Nanai's milkies while joking about how possessive she's getting, but really the whole time he's just seething about Amuro
+>Why did Hathaway care about her that much since he only knew her for like a day
+Yeah, that one's just kind of contrivance. Really depends on how far you're willing to credit the, "he's just an over-emotional kid who doesn't know any better," idea that a lot of young Gundam protags' actions are motivated by early on in a given series, and which works a lot better in TV format where story beats have more time to simmer

Its a nothing burger of a point. Its bad faith. Also speak for yourself you don't get to decide what IS or isn't art. Fans & culturally relevant ppl do. Fans, influential and important alumni within & outside the anime industry in japan have long decided CCA is a work of art. (has nothing to do if you think its shit or not). For example i thought serial experiments lain was boring & didn't really see what the deal was with its reception, but i would never claim its not art. That applies with cca as well.

 It's not really supposed to make sense in every detail, particularly because the characters are each, in some way, wrong about the details or speaking in metaphors. They're in a play/TV show, and Paradigm City is an artificial stage that gets wiped every so often to put on a new show. Angel has the power to do this, and at the end, either she's won over by Roger's negotiation and brings a Roger and a Dorothy outside of the stage into the 'real world' (where she's watching the TVs and the Roger androids are being made), or just shares a moment with them and then puts Roger back into a new Paradigm City where he can be a negotiator. IMO it's meta-commentary on making Season 2 and the demand to reveal the 'mystery' that >>21648217 talks about.

+I fucking love IBO. My disbelief was suspended perfectly and I see some of the criticisms in this thread, but for me, I thought it was badass mecha fighting at its finest. The bad guys did have some plot armor, but the fact that it wasn't just the good guys who survived many battles made it better. Hell, rematches between characters is fine, and every death felt meaningful for me. How many times did Amuro and Char fight with neither one dying until CCA? I didn't even mind the fag plotline and got a little misty eyed when Shino died. The robot on robot violence was top notch; it simply doesn't get any faster, flashier, or brutal. The pilots taking damage to their bodies was kino and I lost my shit when the Gundams wouldn't let Mikazuki and Akihiro die, pushing them on for one final charge. Plus, I really liked that Mika/Atra/Kudelia story, with Mika living on, so to speak. At least some of them boys got laid. 10/10

+>Light of Life, if anything, puts AUs outside of the UC-CC timeline and it itself is meant to slot in right after the end of UC and right before CC starts.
+
+Light of Life seems to go with the idea that the Turn-A awakened and reset the world multiple times, starting with UC. During the AU segment, Lalah mentions the idea of an infinite cycle of rebirth of the world while also telling Amuro it's not in vain since little by little they get closer to the answer and nothing in the way was pointless. At the end, Amuro himself then goes on about everything repeating itself.

+>>21653848
+>Light of Life seems to go with the idea that the Turn-A awakened and reset the world multiple times
+It doesn't. The repetition is referring to the condition of life itself. The Turn A being shown is for all intents and purposes the same singular event we see in the show. Not to mention that infinite cycle includes worlds that aren't even human.
+
+>From the start to the end of a civilization, it's a little more than 10,000 years at most. The things created by humans will vanish without a trace after 100,000 years or so. In a universe that has witnessed more than ten billion years, how many worlds had gone by before this one of ours? It's like a spiral staircase that continues infintely, going around this endless circle, we'll reach the top someday. It won't be futile. To reach the top, everything is essential. There must be scenery we haven't seen.
+Humans will disappear in 100,000 years according to Lalah but the infinitely spiraling staircase refers to the entirety of life in the universe, things that are well beyond the scope of Gundam. Most likely it's a lowkey reference to Ideon, which prominently features the Buff clan and Solo ship crew being reborn on Earth at the end. 
+
+There's nothing in Light of Life that suggests that the Turn A repeatedly erases the Earth, on the contrary, the portrayal is fairly true to the show's flashback. Lalah explicitly mentions that the start to end of a civilization is 10,000 years and the physical time of Light of Life is the end of UC. It's pretty clear that the 10,000 year civilization she's referring to here is UC itself. This actually doesn't retcon the stated timeline in Turn A Gundam, which states that UC started over 10,000 years before the events of the show. That's enough evidence to firmly put Light of Life right at the end of UC and the start of CC. All that said, you do have to ignore the cameos in the show's Black History footage, which would have put the 90s AUs within this 10,000 year UC civilization.

+Considering what McGillis's plan was? The Status Quo or progressive reforms were the better option. 
+
+Since really they'd be putting a deranged dictator in power if they won. If anything their failure forced reforms and changes that resulted in Kudellia's agenda becoming far more successful than she would have been normally. 
+Sure Rustal kept power but what power he had was drastically diminished due to the reforms, overall weakening of Gjallarhorn and losing their Martian strongholds over that year meant that while he "won" he lost.
+
+Tekkadan's biggest issue was that they saw every problem as something military force could be used to solve and thus ignored the advice from Naze AND McMurdo and went all guns blazing like idiots. McMurdo had a ton of soft power and connections but it would be slower and not have the satisfaction of REVENGE FOR MY BROTHERS!! that Orga and the others wanted.
+Orga was what doomed Tekkadan more than anything. After all most of the time there was a problem the solution set for him was pretty simple. Throw Mikazuki at it and that murderhobo did damn good work. Problem is you can't really do that when you're going after The State.

+I think McGillis not being all weird about his engagement to a child was due to being a fucktoy for older men when he was a child. I don't think he wanted the loli sexually, as older men did with him, but rather he wanted to just love her and make her happy, the way he wished his childhood had been. It's still creepy but he doesn't realize it because he's actually super fucked up, despite seeming like he had it all together. His death scene was amazing.
