    Stargazer is still my favorite Gundam OVA ever. It takes everything great about the Cosmic Era and takes the bad things out (teenage drama, plot armor, reused animations). It's truly unfortunate that the soundtrack created for this short series was never released.

      Yep, sadly many Gundam series are becoming almost prophetic at this point. Whether that be wing’s warning about umvs. G’s stance on war happening no matter what even if it’s hidden and the cost it takes on the planet and people fought up in it. 00’s warning of what will happen if we don’t stop. Not remembering seed or seed destiny. Iron bloods message about dehumanization and lost children. And of course cosmic era, everything just getting worse as the world spirals into chaos.

    One thing that stood out to me about episode 2 & 3 is the reframing of Sven's backstory. Beyond the literal brainwashing and excuses to cameo other Blue Cosmos characters, there's also the repetition of Sven's guardians trading him away like an object... but regretting their actions when it was too late. A few more minutes on that and less on the literal brainwashing might have been a better choice.

    I feel your objection to Stargazer's second part lacks... grounding.
    I'm not sure if that's the right word for it, but basically you're saying things are unbelievable or unrealistic, often despite the fact that they've happened in real life (or elsewhere in Gundam).
    Yes, people *often* blame entire categories of people for the actions(real or imagined) of individuals and groups. And yes, to the point of mass murder.
    Also, you brought up Operation British as not being too much. Yes, the actual Colony Drop itself was arguably justified, but do you remember where that colony came from? As Gundam The Origin showed, the entire population of the Colony was gassed because they dared to resist Zeon's rule.

      Hell, Jesus never created any world peace either. He only have stopped a genetic caste system being implemented wrorldwide by no-scope-soloing his way into command center of an already wavering and confused enemy, and remove the sole proponent for the genetic caste system.

    One of the underlying themes of the CE universe is genocidal hate for the "Other" which the Blue Cosmos group represents. All the hate crimes and war crimes in the years since SEED, Destiny, and Stargazer have shown that this theme is definitely one of the more relevant ones to our world. It's for this reason that Part 2 isn't as unnecessary as you described since it connects Stargazer to the overarching themes in the CE universe.

    The first cour of seed was fun to watch and the second half slightly worse but the finale was actually pretty well done with rau vs kira.

As for Destiny, I was liking more than Seed before the writing took a nose dive due to irl internal issues. Shinn's fine until that point but was the victim of the aforementioned writing issues.
      Long story short, I don't hate Cosmic Era but I feel that it could have done so much more and done better in more capable hands writing and direction-wise.

      Normally I'd agree but SEED and Destiny themselves missed what they were trying to do with how hard they dropped the ball. Because Fukuda's shows (outside of Dendoh and GPX) almost always botch the execution of their ideas. Hell, try and explain to me what Cross Ange was TRYING to do vs what it actually did. Cuz I'll tell you right now, that show was not trying to be trashy on purpose.

    I got the impression the Stargazer was supposed to be a testbed for the solar sail (and then put on a ship or colony), but other material says otherwise and it was supposed to on mobile suits. I mean,at least put it on s mobile armor for more storage space.
    I liked the Buster Verde but the Blu Duel always bothered me. The Assault Shroud was ZAFT's upgrades to the Duel, it was just weird seeing the AF do their take on the Shroud. The Duel was bare bones to begin with, I would have preferred to see a redux of the Blitz or Raider.

      The Stargazer was designed for deep space exploration.
      And in Cosmic Era, the best way for this is puttting those solar/laser sails. There are already ships and a mobile armor with such laser/solar sail. But Stargazer is the first time a "small"(relarively) mobile suit using such tech.

    Part 2 sums up my problems with SEED in general. I totally get both governments going nuts and slaughtering everyone, but even in humanity's worse conflicts, such as the Eastern Front of WWII, ad-hoc alliances were formed to share food, tend to the wounded, and carry out other acts of basic human decency. The fact that pretty much EVERY soldier in SEED's universe turns into a complete maniac always just felt like lazy writing. In UC, both the Federation and Zeon soldiers act like humans, sometimes with honor, sometimes with treachery, while the governments do their damndest to kill one another. It makes for a much more believable story

    • @echos5823
      @echos5823 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      ... i mean, what? No, there are genocidal maniacs in both sides and there are more reasonable people on both sides. Just as example Patrick Zala was shot by his own man for trying to fire the giant genesis on earth, in Destiny we have entire fleets defecting from the Alliance when their bosses goes crazy. Thats just in the shows themselves.
      Evn the governments are ambigous, some factions are ideological hardliners, while others are more pragmatic.

    I likes your video. It had a lot of thought put into it. However being surprised by an off the books team doing something like wiping out an entire group of people just to get at a few is actually something that happens in the real world. We just don't hear about it as much because obviously they don't like the public knowing that it happens. A shady group like phantom pain would care even less about civis than regular soldiers. I mean if they use brainwashing on their soldiers why would something like that be off the table? If anything it makes the show more grounded in realism because a corrupt government would totally do something like that. Sorry man but you need to read some history books and get out more. You seem way too sheltered.

    From an engineering perspective, foot vulcans are a brilliant armament for mech. They are a superb anti-infantry/light vehicle weapon system.
    As for your critique that shooting up possible terrorists mixed in with dozens or hundreds of refugees is absurd... I have to agree that it is, but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened, or wouldn't happen again. The My Lai massacre in particular comes to mind. Irrational commands are hardly unprecedented in military history. People aren't always rational, and the level of blind hate here is not at all out of the question for humanity.
    You say genocide is different from slaughter to make a point, but to the minds of the genocidal, the slaughter and erasure is the point. And hate can beget hate. Even in the 21st century, people are still profiled by race and religion.

    The episode one of strageizer is almost perfect because they pick like you boofire said they pick blanck points of the begin of destiny and that part is good in destiny and even better in HD remaster.
    The problems in episode 2 is a "miror" of destiny problems was. And even in HD remaster version, when they make more "clear" what was in that point the intetion of Gibril: And was???
    Give more Weapons and make more "open" the atrocities of Blue Cosmos and whait the ponit of no turn back in popular revolt status of federation to make the comum people Kill the maniacs of Blue Cosmos for him and if Destiny remaster stops here, i can say they saved the series... The problem after that is turn Gibril from a mix of Churchil and Rossevelt in a Palpatine (to delivery a throne room scene!?) crying peace whif a weapon of mass destruction in your heads and say us to enter in a comunims lead by a computer and determin by your gens...
    And i even not attacked the worst part of sven pass, but was a way to explain the EXTEND program...., and Destiny remaster maded two episodes tryng the same...and spolis fails...but in the end all has origins in from begin federation was wright to covenience to be leader by maniacs and zaft for lunatics...and peace can only archived by Lacus in the power and all blue cosmos people has their home.... in cemitery...is part of bad wrting of destiny is too diicult to avoid that and because of that i can make more "cudos" to episode 2 of stargeizer in just what you boo said in show even Sven brainwashed he fell off in that scenario, he fell has something wrong even when everyone says is all right to improve that part the only solution is nedded re-wright destiny and remaster tryed to improve fukudas "fixes" in movies but certain things are in the core and you canot change...
    The "comical" in th situation is that OVA has a ending in a mangá when Sven is court marcial because of that incidente and the response of Sven is genius to Federation, ORB and Zaft situation in 3rd act of destiny ALL OF THEN WAS REPONSABILE and insted of take the rebuild their nations? They still looking for scape goats to sacrifice! And Sven trowing that in their faces was powerfull.
