If Char got the harsh beamsabre dicking instead of Lalah, would she have spent the next 10 years complaining about it and trying to drop asteroids on people?
>>15311693
We don't know because Lalah had very little depth as a character and we didn't know anything about her besides "newtype who likes char".
>>15311693
What's the connection between death and asteroid dropping?
Char could drop them because he:
1. Had AE support
2. Was Zeon's son
3. Was charismatic on his own
4. Was raising the questions, which were important for spacenoids.
5. Understood that fighting against EFSF in a straight fight for a long time without any advantages would be a failure.
>>15311702
The entire axis drop incident was just an excuse to fight amuro because LALAH SUNE WAS A YOUNG WOMAN WHO COULD HAVE BECOME A MOTHER TO ME.
I don't get it.

lol.........
The Gundams are nearly invincible... and there are five of them.
OZ mobile suits are the worst pieces of crap ever built.
Quatre's an idiot. He says he's sorry while he slaughters things. Oh, an indecisive soldier who hates to kill! Good idea, colonists!
Wu Fei is a male chauvinist pig to an annoying extent.
Noin is an airhead. She chose to let Wu Fei live, even though he attacked and killed her men in their sleep. Disgusting.
The Wing Gundam self destructed. Heero lived. It was repaired. you can't live through that explosion, and you can't repair a pile of ash (which is what a self destruct system should turn a mobile suit into).
After DeathScythe is shot several times in the head at close range, it's barely even scratched. I'm beginning to think that this show might be one-sided...
An Aries full-on explodes from a head shot with a machine gun. Sure, there are plenty of good reasons for fuel tanks to be in the head!
An Aries goes down with one hit from a foot solder's bazooka. That's just sad.
The buster rifle can destroy an army of Virgos, standing side by side, all of whom are shielded. It's a good thing we didn't have to sit through, say, an actual fight.
Zechs' uniform, mask, and hair color are all such a blatant rip-off of Char that it makes me sick to my stomach. Not to mention the long lost sisters and abandoned first names that are strangely foreign sounding. C'mon, the only thing stranger that "Casval" is "Milardo".
Gundam Wing models are crap. The plastic is brittle and the proportions are off. Worst of all, they have "HG" kits modeled all in one color! Go buy an HGUC kit and spare yourself the heartbreak.
Frankly, just the nickname "God of Death" pisses me off. You just know he gave that to himself. At least "Nightmare of Solomon" leaves it to your imagination.
No machine gun for him. Shoot him down! *Fires machine gun* I guess we should assume this is a translation error? Is it possible that the entire series is some kind of terrible translation error?
Every person on Gundam Wing is physically attractive. Compare Treize to Degin Zabi from 0079. Compare Trowa to Norris Packard from 08th MS Team. I guess the conclusion we should draw is that Gundam Wing is for preteen girls.
There doesn't seem to be a war going on. Few or no civilian casualties whereas in MS Gundam, Zeon and Federal battles cause the deaths of civilians by the dozen.
The final battle is more like man against machine than man against man. What's the point? At least in the UC, in combat enemies on both sides know how to die heroically.
OZ troops don't seem to know how to dodge!
Virtually all the main characters live, except Trieze, and that was technically suicide(you don't really think Wufei could've beaten Trieze in a real fight do you?)
Why are all the main characters all so...pretty? It's like all the ugly people are either dead or evil, and all the heroes are total studs or babes!
OZ MS stay the same through the whole series: Leos and later Virgos and Taurus. Zeon MS get stronger as the series goes on: Zaku II to Gouf to Dom to Gelgoog(which is just as strong as the Gundam.)
Forty Maganacs, and not one of them dies. Feh.
The RX-78-2 Gundam gets destroyed in an all-out to the death duel. The Wing Zero slices off Epyon's arm, blows up Libra and flies off with no more than a messed up paintjob.
Is the Lightning Count the only decent pilot OZ has? Zeon had the Red Comet, the Blue Nova, Black Tristars, Nightmare of Solomon, White Wolf of Solomon, Red Lightning, Desert Thunder and the Ghost of Solomon, the Federal Forces had the White Shooting Star, the White Eagle and the Blue Destiny. All OZ had was one decent pilot in a powerhouse MS. (Noin doesn't count since she's mostly on the Wing boys' side, not OZ).
Any time one of the Gundam pilots gets into the cockpit on an OZ mobile suit, it can take about 10x the punishment that it normally takes. It sometimes seems that 1 or 2 bullets can off an OZ suit when a bad guy pilots it. Exaples are in the Duo meets Hilde episode and even when Heero battles Wu Fei in the movie.
OZ very early on needed to realize that those little pea shooter machine guns can't hurt the Gundams.
Why in Episode 17 does DeathScythe and Sandrock have such a hard time getting past the Leos at the shuttle base? The Leos have the aforementioned pea shooter guns.
"Thank you Sandrock!!" That alone should say something.
Everyone is just a little too suicidal. "My only chance is to self detonate" Please, if these guys were as good as they're supposed to be, they would keep on fighting not take some easy way out. Norris from 08th MS team KNEW he would eventually be done in ep 10 but provided bar none one of the best cat and mouse battle sequences in a gundam show, relying on his survival instinct and skill, not just hitting the kill switch and "taking them out with me". Remember what Bright told Hayato in ep 20 of Mobile Suit Gundam? "Rely on ingenuity, you don't know what will happen in a fight!" Those too tough Gundam suits should be able to pull them all through any scrape.
Leos seem to blow up even if the paint job is scratched. If you look carefully in Endless Waltz, you'll see a Leo blow up WITHOUT BEING HIT!
The fans can bee annoying. Have you seen any Wing fan sites? They act as if Wing is the only Gundam series there is. And there is the Yaoi fangirls, always with there 1x2 and 3x4 slash fics and Relena bashing.
BY THE TIME YOU GET TO THE END OF THE SERIES, YOU'VE HEARD "TOTAL PACIFISM" SO MANY TIMES, YOU'LL WANT TO GO TO WAR.

Does it matter what order i do a reverse wash in?

I think you use the color for the emblem or whatever, mask that, then the color for the rest.

dont bother answering a question you dont know about

Hello, dragon daddy. Always good to see you.
I understood that reference!
Man, what a great episode. Kyuranger has the potential to be my new favorite Sentai.
>>15310712
That part gave me the chills.
Anyone else hyped about this? I'll admit that them having super human strength when not morphed is retarded and that the black guy isn't the black ranger is disappointing but still. Ice loved this show since the beginning
Zords look way too shit for this to be redeemable
No Lord Zedd no buy
Sure is comics and cartoons in here.
I just finished watching Gundam Age for the first time a few days back. While it is far from the worst the franchise has to offer, It is definitely one of the most disappointing entries due to the amount of potential squandered. Unlike something like Seed Destiny, which was on a doomed path due to its own mismanagement and pandering, some of the concepts and ideas of Age could have been rather groundbreaking for Gundam entries as of late.
What exactly do you all think could have corrected some of the most grievous flaws of the show?
>>15310285
Keep Yurin alive and win the Flit bowl.
Bring the Desperado and its pilot onto the main cast.
Have Asemu end up with Arisa.
Actually do something with the forced X rounder helmet plot.
Have Flit kill Desil instead of Asemu.
Keep Kio in the mindset that Grandpa Flit gave him.
Replace the space lemon with literally anything else.
Get a better reasoning for the attacks instead of you had a chance to get a away, or make Ezelcant go full Armstrong on his ideas of only the strongest will survive.
Have Flit go full RIP AND TEAR in the final arc
Have the martians focus on leaving the planet that's been giving them space cancer instead of staying there and making mobile suits to kill civilians with.Save the martian cancer girlAnd release the MG AGE 3
>>15310285
Decide earlier on if it wanted to be a toy commercial for kids, or a toy commercial for adults.
Commit to characters diverging from Gundam cliches.
No "Understandaning".

>Unlike something like Seed Destiny, which was on a doomed path due to its own mismanagement and pandering, some of the concepts and ideas of Age could have been rather groundbreaking for Gundam entries as of late.
You have it exactly the other way around. SEED is the setting with tons of potential in it: three primary factions with several different sub-factions in each, a well-crafted history and setting layout that can easily be used to add context to a story, and a manga that further builds on the setting and history. The story told in that setting is kind of shit, but a few tweaks, using budget on animation rather than famous musician cameos, and dialing back on the teen drama could make it into something spectacular.
AGE, in contrast, "has potential" in that it's a blank canvas like none other. There is no effort in AGE to develop consistency as to where anything is or what it means in the larger context of the setting. Whole locales just appear as the needs of the episode require and vanish just as soon after, never to be relevant again. The entirety of Gen 2 is spent wandering around locations that they made up just now and forget about immediately afterward, picking up a brain damage helmet that's used once and never mentioned again, making the entire generation an exercise in wasted time.
There's so little to work with in the AGE setting that any serious attempt to "fix" it is equivalent to writing an entire show from scratch.
Episode 47 - Ver. 5.0

first for best harem
So Arta won the Mikabowl, and they had sex while Mika was connected to Barbatos? Flauros wasn't recovered, Yamagi and Shino shippers still ass blasted? Best girl still lives? More talking and setup this episode?
>>15309881
Looking kinda cool there, Mika.
is he /m/?
>>15309463
Yes?

is scat now /m/?

It is according to a bunch of Gundam doujins
MS IGLOO is basically War in The Pocket except it's actually good and worth watching, lets be honest with ourselves.
>>15309343
The Federation didn't use MS to take Odessa apart from the Whitebase crew
Retcons are dumb
Horrendous bait.
>>15309343
If it weren't full CG and there wasn't that freaky death god shit in Igloo 2, if would probably be one of the better rated OVAs.
She also survives the infamous Maxwell Church massacre when she was young and it was recruited too by Prof. G
how she would fare along with universe around her without a Gundum of her own?
>>15309071
she'd either live a quiet civilian life or get gassed
50/50
Asuka is someone who has no self-esteem and defines herself entirely by the recognition she receives from others. If she got into religion she'd become one of those super-into-it people who are completely insufferable with how aggressive they are about letting you know their devotion to their religion, because the recognition of her religious peers would be the sole defining measure of her self-worth.
>>15309071
What if Shinji was Amuro? And the Gundam had the spirit of his mom in it?
And Asuka was a Zeon Ace from their own version of putting souls of teenagers moms into high-performance experimental MS?
Kensuke and Touji can pilot a Guntank together.

Isn't wrong though, AGE's third arc is one low point, not the lowest of the franchise
