One of the most interesting things about UC is that 'canon'

>>15696370
>Unicorn treats the movies as the basis of canon
In what way? The Core Booster?
Unicorn prominently features characters from ZZ and you can't go directly from the third Zeta movie to CCA because of the Axis asteroid being in the wrong place.
>Is it non-canon to those series?
Unicorn was a big puff of nothing. The paltry prize at the end of the treasure hunt was rendered completely inconsequential by Mineva announcing what it was. Even in a series produced after Unicorn, the most you should expect as a callback to it would be a student in history class answering a question about what year the Vist Foundation came under investigation.
The third one is just pointless. It makes more sense to assume it's just random uniform porn (or an easter-egg which is what it actually is) than to assume that Sayla's pink uniform was completely unique in all the EF.

I like this idea too. Not that I give a fuck about what is canon and what is not, but to my own enjoyment.

To have fun is the most important thing after all.

>That means that UC entries are only canon in relation to other UC entries.
That... that is what people are referring to when they talk about 'canon'. They are referring to whether or not something falls into continuity with a majority of the existing stories in that universe. You figured it out and you didn't even realize it.

Bandai really doesn't treat continuity differently than most fictional universes. They just don't want to shoot anything down that could potentially sell merchandise. This really was exactly how the Star Wars EU worked up until Disney, and even now they are backpedaling on that one with things like Thrawn.

Also, of course something non-official can never dream of being canon. Non-official means it's not even produced by Bandai/Sunrise.

This comic was really neat.

UC has been so heavily expanded that some things should be omitted and hence head canons exist.

I personally go the Gihren's ambition approach and have hypothetical scenarios in my head canon. In terms of mecha, it is also better to just have one type of base GM/Zaku/Dom/Gelgoog model in One Year War rather than having the Izubuchi and Katoki adaptations as a separate model.

yo unicorn isnt canon though

>>15696370

Canon and official are literally just different translations of the sane word/concept in Japanese. Hell, producers for Sunrise even use the same graded concept of what is and isn't canon that Lucas used to use for Star Wars, though they grade by shade (black, grey, white) where he graded by number (1, 2, 3etc).

>>15696370
I wonder if all of this stuff is vague intentionally so they can shoehorn anything in future whether be it's manga, anime and gunpla.
Otherwise it would be difficult to milk popular elements of the franchise such as OYW and Zeon.
Might also explain the endless MSVs.

>'canon' doesn't exist, only official and non-official.
Language doesn't work that way, retard. Japanese 公式設定/正史 is the equivalent of English "canon".

Fuck off and kill yourself.

Unicorn's ending was such a fart. They really wrote themselves in to a corner, but seriously, what's one more spacenoid oppression scandal going to do to the earth federation? They've the most corrupt group of globalist cronies imaginable since day one, and I'm pretty sure everyone already knows that.

>>15696370
>That means that UC entries are only canon in relation to other UC entries.
That's not UC, that's every franchise ever. You're going to say that I don't get what you're saying but I do, and I'm telling you that it is absolutley not specific to Gundam. The way people use the word 'canon' has always simply been wrong.

>>15696370
Why do people want Thunderbolt to be canon to 0079 so badly?
What's wrong with it being its own thing?

I mean I love 00, but I don't see anything of value being added to it by making it part of the UC timeline.

>>15696370
>The events of Unicorn are never addressed in anything that takes place after it. Is it non-canon to those series?

doesn't the 2 minute short with notAlex expand on this?

>>15700824
Pretty much. What happened to impress this meaning of "canon" on so many people? Was it comic books? Was it George Lucas? Was it something older which is just now propagating?

The officiality policy has its fair share of problems. See the animated versions of how the Battle of Loum are depicted.

> using globalist to denigrate a group who literally control the globe (and more besides)
> calling politicians who do have ultimate control cronies

One more Spacenoid scandal was never going to do anything to the Federation and the plot never acts like it will. The young Federation paid Vist money to shut him up because evidence of a violent coup resulting in them having power would have resulted in them losing that power, while after a few decades they were afraid not of losing power but of giving Spacenoids justification to start a war. Unicorn's ending was deliberately anti-climactic, not a case of them suddenly realizing they couldn't go out with a bang. Or do you really think a committee can plan a plot out years in advance, including an alternate take on the same idea through a different medium and not foresee the ending despite ending it already in said alternate medium? That you don't like it doesn't mean it wasn't deliberate on the part of the people making it.

Well, you can say that Non-Official is basically a crazy old coot recounting his days during the conflict. Like we rolled all the zakus just with tanks in Odessa man! NO! GMs didn't exist yet that time and were not involved in the assault! NOW GET OFF MY LAWN!!!

Well notchar in victory does say "gundam is the symbol of spacenoid hope"
only after unicorn the white fucking devil would become the messiah for spacescum

Twilight Axis is apparently trying to bridge Unicorn and F91. The heroes are junkers. The main villain is the father of Meitzer Ronah, the villain in the F91 movie who explicitly says he was a junker in his youth. It's also being implied that the space nationalism you see later in the UC like Cosmo Babylonia and Jupiter is derived from Laplace's Box sparking independence movements in the intervening years. The TA stuff is still being written, so stay tuned.

>The heroes are junkers.
I thought it was a Federation team sent to investigate Axis.
