How do you think the Landscape of pop-culture would have turned out in the west if Gundam somehow was brought over and became a huge hit when it first aired?
Would it have become a huge hit if brought over with a straight translation?
Yeah. Shit like transformers is popular too. There would be Zeon emblems everywhere. Many more Hollywood Gundam movies with shit CGI as well.

More Gundam references and memes in Western media.
>Would it have become a huge hit if brought over with a straight translation?
Maybe. Robotech was popular in the '80s. But others like Yamato was also brought over and faded into obscurity. Overall the anime genre in the US was very niche all the way into the '90s with very few exceptions.
