Nothing against your character, but as a rule, that generates more controversy than conversation.Great Teacher Stone wrote:well lets sum up my feelings thus far in one objective portion that will be followed by the reasons that gundam sucks
Basically I made this video because I hate gundam, my friends hate gundam, and I know that others out there hate gundam, and I wanted to show my hatred in a simple yet funny way. Thus this video was created, mainly for my humor and the the humor of my friends. In reality I don't even care if people like gundam. and I don't think that it says anything bad about my character that I would like to stir up some fine conversation by trying to get real gundam fans to see the video.
OK, I do apologize for getting a bit worked up over a joke vid, I respect the fact you're willing to stand by your opinionobviously they won't change thier opinion just from the video, but who really cares, it's just a big joke, and I think that if you dislike gundam then you get the joke thats all there is to it. I don't knock anyway that doesn't mock me, so if you wanna download the video then go for it, but if your a hardcore G wing fan then you probably won't like it. Anyway thats my shpeel for today.
In Wing, yeah, the writers definitely pulled it out of their asses. However, not all of the series are like this (for a prime example that won't sink too much of your time, look into Gundam 0080: War In The Pocket, no badder bad-guys popping up, characters with reasonable motives, and overall a pretty well put-together story)reasons I hate gundam wing (* indicates that it is for all of the gundam things not just wing)
1) the plot seems to be made up as they go along, there is a bad guy then a badder bad guy appears and an even badder bad guy and it just doesn't work. It just makes me wanna puke. then they have the characters who have established motives (although they are very shallow and often meaningless) but decided that the plot that doesn't make sence is more important than the motives oof the character and just have them do things that they normally would not
OK, this is a matter of opinion...can't comment2*) the art style is poop, looks and smells like poop (just my opinion)
Again, this sounds more like Wing's influence than anything. Some of the Universal Century series, such as Zeta Gundam and the original MSG, actually do more than just quick slaughter in 5 seconds. Some battles actually spanning multiple eps.3*) the fights are outrageously lame and predictable, if you are a main char and you are fight a non main char time till victory = 5 seconds (often just by showing a zoomed out picture of everyone besides the main character exploding) and if the match up is main char vs main char then the battle takes forever and often has no victor
Again, this is more of a Wing issue, it's agreed most of the mock-philosophy is crap. Again, UC generally handles dialogue a lot better.4) the dialogue is attempting to be witty but falls short of average. No one ever says what they should. they either make an overly bold statement not worthy of the situation or they make a horrible understatement/metaphor that is not worth saying in the particular situation
Here's one where I'm going to strongly disagree. For a prime example, G Gundam by comparsion to 08th MS Team, are quite different in many respects.5*)absolutely NO variety. the fights, dialogue and designs are all the same save some minor cosmetic changes, LAME, and this is often the case between gundam series's
OK...now here's one we agree onand one more commment to the person that said robotech was cool
YOU LOSE
do you ask yourself "Why would I watch Macross when I could watch Macross without the original names, the original scenes, the original dialogue or any spec of plot?
because if the answer is "no reason" then you can watch robotech, but why say that when you could say, "oh yeah I think I'll watch macross because robotech is just a slaughtered version of macross"
