Discussion of AU Gundam Pacing & Plot

You haven't watched most UC, so your opinion is invalidated!

(Seriously, all the good old-fashioned fighting factions is old UC.)
 
That was based off a BS line in CCA that even Amuro thought was bizarre. It was obvious in MSG that there was a romantic triangle going on.



...which happened in Final Plus, which is what I was complaining about to begin with.
 
Even without Final Plus, Shinn has no choice but to make amenRAB with Kira if he wants to stay with ZAFT.



What is "obvious" and what is word of God are different. I can make many wild pairings based off simple looks.


And Char was about to die. Highly doubt he felt lying at that point.
 
miraimike, please calm down. I've noticed here and in other threaRAB that you tend to get a bit heated in these discussions. If you want to maturely discuss your opinions, we heartily encourage it. But acting self important or calling opposing views 'BS' will not be tolerated.
 
Who me?

Well, if it was directed at me then I'll respond with EVERY single long running gundam series starts every episode with a narration. This is neither nessecary nor good. I don't think I've ever liked the narrations since I first saw them in Wing. While I understand the possible need for a 'Last Time On' header to an episode, there are much better ways of doing it than with a tedious narration, and every long running Gundam series at somepoint has a scene that has no other purpose but to exposisize the technollogy or the political lanRABcape. UC is no more immune to this than any other series.

Alls I'm saying is I could do without it. I've learned to wait until a gundam series wraps up so that I can simply watch all the episodes back to back to back and skip over the narations along with the opening.
 
The narration in MS Gundam summarizes the entire set-up to why the Gundam was made, who's fighting, and what's the current situation. That takes about 5 minutes tops while the Zakus are infiltrating the colony as the image.

If that's tedious to you, then idunno, man.

I can't even remeraber Zeta having an opening narration.

Double Zeta, probably not.

Victory, I wish. They just said "here's Usso in a Gundam. We're gonna tell you later."
 
As I understand it, Tomino had it scripted so Usso didn't even get a Gundam till like episode 3 or 4. Sponsors pitched a fit, so he was made to start the story several episodes in and recount what had happened as flasrabroadacks.
 
Isn't that also Tomino's biggest gripe about Victory? That he had to change so much of his original plans because of what the sponsors wanted that he started to hate the show.

Too bad Tomino has essentially disowned Victory (and arguably ZZ as well), I'd be interested in seeing a director's cut or otherwise learning what he had originally planned for the series.
 
Tomino is pretty consistent when asked about the original plan for ZZ that he doesn't remeraber. I think most everything we'll ever know survives via decades old interviews and guidebooks.
 
Victory. Sorry that I made it unclear.

I know about the ZZ Char/Glemmy switch (wasn't there also going to be an Elbow Smash character?) and Tomino's ZZ-related amnesia. I was referring to how the Z movies negate ZZ.
