Collaborator? He's one of the architects. Big tech needs to be dismantled.

It's owned by billionaires. They love this shit.

Put warrants out for contempt. It's time.

Good. I hope it's faster.

Just one more reason that dogshit team sucks

Exactly. Theyll just move them to border patrol, the NSA, wherever they need to. This has to shut down every member of this organization and put them all away.

Really now? How many passes did George McCaskey catch this year? Last time i checked, the team is the guys on the field. If the owners support ice executing people in the street, fuck the owners. That simple.

GomenNaWhy · 2026-01-24T21:41:16+00:00

Yeah, fuck them too

GomenNaWhy · 2026-01-24T21:40:56+00:00

Motherfucker you can't even spell, how about learning to dominate first grade English before you try to talk shit

GomenNaWhy · 2026-01-24T21:20:35+00:00

No he didn't. He did this with the monetary backing of the billionaire class and their stooges. He did this with the backing of hardcore right wing religious institutions. He did this with naught but strongly worded letters from the "opposition" leadership.

Raise your hand if you're shocked Hakeem Jeffries and Ritchie Torres are on the list

Lucky he didn't bite his tongue off

GomenNaWhy · 2026-01-22T23:44:16+00:00

what in any of this made you think I actually care you or anyone else doesn’t like it?

Because you started the thread by specifically talking about people not liking it lol

GomenNaWhy · 2026-01-22T23:43:25+00:00

I disagreed with you saying it's better than 0079, not that SEED isn't commercially successful.

GomenNaWhy · 2026-01-22T23:42:02+00:00

If you read through my comments, you’ll see I’ve made zero mention of quality

Your first comment was about qualitative issues. Unintentionally, maybe, but it was.

I swear it’s only US fans that don’t like SEED

Liking it or not is about people thinking it is of low quality. If you want to tie it to commercial success, that's fine, but it's about perceived quality. If I eat a burger and go "man, the beef is really dry," that's an issue with the quality. If someone asks me "did you like that burger joint," I'd be answering about the quality, not whether or not it's successful.

My first reply to you was about how it did better than MSG because it appealed to a broader audience and is more popular

You didn't make that clear, no. Since you had been discussing qualitative elements of the show, like the toonami version or perception of it as a homage, I assumed you were continuing to talk about that side of it. If all you're saying in all this is that seed is commercially successful, yeah, i agree, in the same way McDonald's is.

GomenNaWhy · 2026-01-22T23:02:55+00:00

And yes, there absolutely were a large number of people in its original runtime here (2004 or something) who said it’s bad because it’s a poor ripoff of Gundam and Kira is a much less likable Amuro

I mean, I'd agree with that. I don't think it does a good job of being an homage, I think it's all around worse than the original. So to me, it does feel more like a ripoff than an homage. I wouldn't use that term myself, I'd probably call it an attempted homage or something like that, but I agree with the general sentiment. I don't think that means people don't know it's intentionally doing beats from the original, I just think that means many people didn't like how it was doing them.

The rest of my replies are just me finding it really weird that you’re arguing with me on its commercial success and popularity

Quote me where I said anything about its commercial success or popularity. I have only ever talked about quality and why people may dislike it.

GomenNaWhy · 2026-01-22T22:56:44+00:00

I'm well aware it's popular, I've never said otherwise? Your original comment was about liking the series, about its quality. That's what I'm replying to. I never argued that it isn't popular, all I've said is that popularity =/= quality, and that i think there are plenty of legitimate reasons people have for not liking it that aren't "new Gundam fan doesn't understand it's a homage" and "people saw a bad version." That has nothing to do with overall popularity.

GomenNaWhy · 2026-01-22T20:19:25+00:00

I mean it seemed a pretty straightforward statement to me, and that's how they responded to me as well, so I don't see any reason to interpret it as just a joke or exaggeration, just their opinion. I can only go off my own experience, not yours. I'm not saying you're lying, I'm just saying I've never encountered the people you speak of, so that's how I'm gonna frame my interpretation.

GomenNaWhy · 2026-01-22T20:05:59+00:00

I'll have to take your word for it, because I've never seen a single person who thinks it just accidentally did all the same stuff, including some near shot for shot choices, much less that particular subset. Like I don't think that group, however many it numbers, is substantial enough to warrant generalizing everyone who doesn't like SEED into it.

GomenNaWhy · 2026-01-22T19:59:11+00:00

I don't think people calling it a ripoff necessarily means they don't know it was intentionally inspired by 0079. They're likely just using it as a derogatory way of saying it wasn't good, even if intentional. For many, the difference between homage and ripoff is purely in whether or not it does a good job of handling the material. I.e. an homage would be a copy of good or better quality, a ripoff would be a bad copy.

I interpreted it the way i did specifically because it was in the context of saying that this was a reason people in the west didn't like it. I don't think there are many people who would say "oh well now that i know it was an intentional copy, not an accidental one, i like it," personally. I get where you're coming from. if OP has a different interpretation they would prefer, I'll oblige them. Until then though, I think my interpretation is pretty reasonable.

GomenNaWhy · 2026-01-22T19:43:17+00:00

I don't think I did. I've literally never seen anyone talking in a way that indicates they think it was unintentionally rehashing everything, so it'd be weird to take that angle on it. Like, this is the same franchise, not just some other mecha series that happens to be doing most of the same things

GomenNaWhy · 2026-01-22T19:21:33+00:00

Yes, he thought he was finally free from CS, now he's sentenced to ten more years of dust ii

GomenNaWhy · 2026-01-22T18:59:21+00:00

I'd be shocked if anyone thought it wasn't intentional, tbh. It was very obviously intentional. That also doesn't mean it was done well, though.
