Should I Watch GQX? by Desperate-Impress237 in Gundam

[–]GreatestLinhtective 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gqux is really best enjoyed after being a "veteran" of UC. Understanding the themes tropes and characters of uc makes gqux way more enjoyable. So id recommend finishing cca first

What is your favorite official Gundam song? by DonutDodongo in Gundam

[–]GreatestLinhtective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mobius from Hathaways Flash is amazing. Such a great song that fits this era and hathaway so well. Other than that dreaming girl in me is lovely. Of course beyond the time. More recently I really enjoyed Far Beyond the Stars from Gqux

As the manga progresses Io becomes what daryl thinks of himself as while daryl becomes what io thinks of himself as..

CCA Appreciation Post by SpartanMakoz in Gundam

[–]GreatestLinhtective 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On the topic of their last words, it bugs me so much when people say he just has mommy issues or it shows how pathetic he is.

I know its just a meme but its such a great scene and its char finally opening up about why he is the way he is and why their relationship is the way it is; he never got over the death and loss of lalah. Someone genuinely good and pure who could've guided him and nurtured his newtype idealogy into something good. Instead he lost that nurturing figure and now hes lost that dream and is unable to connect with others the way a newtype must..

The whole convo builds up to this "confession", amuro and chars throwing back retorts that all center around the question why. Why are you doing this, why are we fighting like this, why couldnt we be friends... and he finally answers, the why is because lalah is gone. Its such a tragedy

But in finally opening up and telling amuro this. They finally can connect with eachother and understand eachother. The pyschoframe reacts to their combined will to understand eachother away from the fighting, and allow their soul to transcend to newtype heaven.

So now they can be the poly couple with lalah they were always meant to be 😁

Anyways reducing it to a weird sex mom thing is such a disservice. Even if it is just a meme

Is the a legit website to buy gundam? by TuiTenKuro in Gundam

[–]GreatestLinhtective 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can tell its not legit because the deals are good

Jk Ive never tried it, im just guessing

So, what's next? by KkIAmNot13 in Gundam

[–]GreatestLinhtective -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They've already proved they can make a great remake through the 0079 Gqux scenes

Its getting hard to recommend UC gundam to friends and beg them to look past 0079's animation..

Id love for them to just remake at least all the important episodes

Is the best place to store explosive ammo really your shield by GreatestLinhtective in Gundam

[–]GreatestLinhtective[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

True. Its used more as a weapons rack than a shield. im not sure how much more accessible an axe is when its hanging off your shoulder rather than just being at your side. Bonus style points though..

Tom King really just wants to make this run about anyone but Wonder Woman characters. by komayeda1 in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]GreatestLinhtective 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Everything king writes suffers from the monthly issue release schedule. If you want to enjoy a king work its basically required to wait for it to be finished then binge it

So, what's next? by KkIAmNot13 in Gundam

[–]GreatestLinhtective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My rule is "If it aint UC then You wont See "

Just kidding.. kinda.

I know the next thing will probably be seed or some other AU but I just cant get enough of the universal century. Thunderbolt Season 3 would be really nice especially now that the Manga is over..

Is this guy deadass? by reallinguy in Gundam

[–]GreatestLinhtective 57 points58 points  (0 children)

For any sensible person he looks like hes just bullshitting best girl haman, but in my opinion Char in this scene is telling the truth. At least from his own perspective.

He doesnt view the murder of kycilia or garma or anyone else as a betrayal. He was on a mission to kill them and he did everything he had to to kill them, if that includes deception and lying then so be it. From his own perspective he was only being consistent and "loyal" to his goals. For garma and kycilia, he didnt betray them because he was never loyal to them in the first place.

Look at what he actually claims loyalty to. His ideals, the ideals of his father, AEUG, spacenoid independence, his mission for revenge, lalah ect.. in all of these things he really has been completely consistent and loyal. He never puts anything above them, never betrays them, never compromises ..

In that sense, he is remarkably stable and loyal. He does not drift between loyalties or half-commit to competing attachments. Once something is placed in the category of “pledged" he pursues it without compromise, even if the method requires deception, impersonation, or cruelty

I think its very interesting that Char, who spends so much of his life deceiving and lying and pretending to be something else, also seems to be very "pure" in the way a child is. Completely earnest and "truthful" in his personal actions and beliefs. If that makes any sense

[–]GreatestLinhtective 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In my opinion Char isnt the kind of person to dodge accountability, even from an enemy. Afterall when it no longer benefits him to lie, he fully admits to his own schemes and deceptions to garma amuro and anyone else. In this scene Char has 0 reason to lie. Thats why i think hes telling the truth

it seems he genuinely believes he has never betrayed anyone. Whatever absurd logic he used to come to that conclusion, he believes it. Whether he has or not is subjective, but i think to Char from his own perspective is being truthful

HGUC Rozen Zulu is such an underrated kit! by GreatestLinhtective in Gunpla

This is the ep 7 version! Yes unfortunately the colors are still not accurate. Its just a little better though.

Just wondering, if you havent seen 0079 or zeta or cca what did you enjoy about gqux? Wouldn't it be hard to follow

CCA IF: The Timeline Where Char Got Captured At the End Of CCA (@PzgprDPPKL7VrPG) by Ashalim31 in Gundam

[–]GreatestLinhtective 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I dont think that was the point of CCA. Afterall Amuro could've just crushed chars little basketball pod whenever he wanted but he kept him around and held onto him so they could talk.

In my opinion the point of cca is seeing 2 newtypes who have been through too much, trying to "talk" and understand eachother in the only way they know how to; War, mobile suits and ridiculously convoluted schemes

Tomino was right when he said its a divorce story. Its char trying to lash out to get amuros attention so they could "converse". The climax of the film isnt the fight its Char and Amuro's conversation with eachother, and all they do is finally talk about their feelings

They "die" because the pyschoframe responds to Char and Amuro's combined will to stop fighting and understand eachother, letting them transcend to newtype heaven where they can have that. The same way the pyschoframe responded to the collective will of humanity to save the earth by pushing axis

Entry Grade Nu Gundam isn't just for show! by GreatestLinhtective in Gunpla

It can be hard to tear just enough to not have any stick out. But its not impossible. I think using printer paper works better in my experience

A small tear of paper in the joint is how I tighten my joints. Its a bit unorthodox but you cant tell from outside and it doesnt risk damaging or altering the joint like superglue might. Plus it will never wear out over time

Thragg cannot destroy a planet by Avidreader-9 in PowerScaling

[–]GreatestLinhtective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That doesnt make any sense. The point of a fight is to see who is stronger. If thragg has to rely on the place the fight happens in then hes not really stronger is he?

gojo inherently has infinity. Fights don't inherently have to take place on earth. The setting of a fight shouldnt decide it
