Why is UC considered good when most people will agree that at least half of its entries are mediocre or bad?

I don't see how anyone can defend Unicorn, 0080, 08th MS Team, IGLOO, F91 or CCA.
>>
0080 is goat
IGLOO is fun as shit
F91 is 1:20 of MS porn

Also 0079 exists so there.
>>
>>13634115
0079 is the best Gundam
0080 is pretty good
Zeta, 0083, 08th MS Team, CCA and ZZ are flawed but still better than most non-UC

Unicorn and F91 are shit though
>>
>>13634129
>Calls Unicorn and F91 shit
>says 08th MS Team is only "flawed"
>>
>>13634115

0079, 0080, Unicorn and Victory are probably the only entries I really like but even if I dislike the other entries to some degree I still like the big picture they build up when put together and find some level of enjoyment in most of the other entries too.
>>
Zeta is the only really shitty UC Gundam. Most of the others are only just bad.
>>
>>13634115
Why is Anime considered good when most people will agree that at least half of its entries are mediocre or bad?
>>
>>13634149
The only UC work I haven't liked so far is Victory.
>>
>>13634224
Didn't mean to reply.
>>
>>13634115
>0080
You better fucking have meant 0083 faggot
>>
>>13634115
Well what do we have in comparison? It's not like most AU's are that well written either since they largely borrow UC cliche's to make the bulk of their characters & factions.
I'm of the opinion that all of gundam is mediocre, it's almost always been mediocre and the format doesn't allow itself to be anything but that because it's format has become so standardized that it's now considered generic. UC just has the greatest number of entries because that's what Banrise wants to milk.

And 0080 is probably one of the better written UC entries because it's a simple self contained story that comes from a unique perspective for large part of its screentime, teaches the same old lesson, manages to have a likable cast and doesn't treat itself like some 2nd coming of God to reshape the continuity like Unicorn and it's absolutely pointless romp from Industrial 7 and back.

But I like mobile suits.

"UC" will always be better than any of the AUs for the simple virtue of having the best world build.
Specially since most AUs are very derivative of the UC basic concepts.

Talking about individual shows it's something else entirely.
>>
>>13634115

Why do people like Star Wars so much when it's just utter cheese?
>>
>>13634228
I liked 0083's action and Kou as a protagonist, sue me.
>>
Unicorn's detail is sup fucking perb.

Look at this shit.

They actually bothered to depict the Tri Stars in this scene.
>>
>>13634441
is that the legendary tri stream maneuver?
>>
>>13634424
Because it's pushed so hard. Remember back in the late 80s and early 90s when it wasn't around every single corner? Those were the days.
>>
>>13634481
That's when the bulk of the EU was wriiten
>>
>>13634451

>Base Jabber
>>
>>13634489
And most people ignored it, until the prequels happened and people starved for SW content that didn't make them want to stab their eyes out.

... They had to settle for the EU and ended up one-eyed.
>>
>>13634513
Both Unicorn and CCA end with kung fu

For some reason Gundams like to go for the jugular.
>>
>>13634527
Sazabi is like
>I cant believe youve done this

Sinanju is like
>are you fucking kidding me? again???

sazabi is pretty moe
>>
>>13634527
Takes out essential sensors and is a bigger target than going for the eye I guess
>>
>>13634527
It was more just Unicorn trying its hardest to make out Banagher to be Amuro II, but completely forgetting the part where the reason Amuro actually is a good character is because he had an actual character arc and doesn't just rely on newtype magic to accomplish anything. There's even that part in episode 2 of Unicorn where the Sinanju kicks the Unicorn into an asteroid like Char did to Amuro in one of the earlier episodes of 0079.
>>
>>13634115
Because it's not hard to look in comparison to garbage such as G and IBO.
>>
>>13634489
But no one really cared aside from the hardcore fans. It wasn't until the special editions in the mid 90s that they really made a huge marketing push for Star Wars again, and it's continued constantly since then.
>>
I just watched ZZ and F91 for the first time in the past few months and I'm actually pissed at myself for listening to fuckhead a like OP my whole life about how 'bad' the maligned parts of the UC is rather than experiencing it myself and making up my own mind. Because now, both ZZ and F91 are probably my favorite Gundam things now.
>>
>>13634802
F91 is good
>>
>>13634802
I enjoyed ZZ, but I really don't understand how it can be anyone's favorite.
>>
>>13634810
I love the bonus clip from the Extra DVD too. It's great to see the MP F91 animated.
>>
>>13634821
ZZ deserves a lot of the flak it gets, but F91 is amazing for something that was nipped in the bud. It's a unique story that isn't just Neo^∞-Zeon vs Feds with a unique aesthetic of the Crossbone Vanguard and story between Seabook and Cecily that's different from how the relationships between men and women usually go in gendum. The opening and ending scenes are very strong, basically any time they're in space it's good, the colony atmosphere under CB rule is really dense and gritty

Louis CK crossed with Vader is also the antagonist
>>
Kinda off topic, but didn't want to create a thread just for this:

Could anyone post that image that shows all the units deployed during the (I think it was, at least) A Baoa Qu?
>>
>>13634879
>big guy wearing a mask who is also a cuck
All this meme potential, lost forever
>>
>>13634927
cuck

>>13634730
>no one really cared aside from the hardcore fans
There were heavily-advertised lines of EU toys and commercials for EU novels in primetime. Shadows of the Empire became a huge multimedia event. EU was basically what kept Star Wars afloat through the '90s.

What's wrong with IGLOO?
