Kinda similar to the Spartans who were inspired by the Gundams

There's a reason they called the Gundam "WHITE DEVIL."

There's a reason Zekes called the Gundam "the White Devil."

That was the perception of them.

They mistaking Spacenoid independence for Spacenoid supremacy.

@@EJAXK13 I wouldn't say that. Similar to when the Farmers Resist Lenin's resolution and were proclaimed Class Traitors ie Kulaks. Spacenoids who side with the Federation are deemed Traitors in a similar sense. Like many Revolutionary movements that came before, those people might as well be the enemy, in actuality they were. It's also a fundamental flaw in a lot of revolutionary movements who proclaim they're fighting for a specific people, meanwhile not all those people rarely even half even side with the revolution, they may not resist it but they still don't' side with it. This rings true even with the American Resolution, I think 2/3s of the Colonist wanted nothing to do with it, and loyalist who chose to oppose it were treated lower than dirt. I honestly think the entire narrative of Mobile Suit Gundam is built around how Revolutions become corruptions of their own ideals. If you remember Amuro's little short speech on Axis when being chased by Char about Intellectuals and Revolutions. With Zeon Zum Deikun basically being Space Marx. The Principality is a Perversion of Deikun's original vision meanwhile Deikun himself was pretty much as insane as Marx was. Similar to how disillusioned Marxist who lost faith in what they deemed a bankrupt ideology broke ranks and eventually became the founders of Fascism.

To be fair, the Zabi's did twist the ideals of the principality, it originally founded on the idea of independence but Degwin or should I say Ghiren specifically went full on space naz1 that he took being called Adolf H of his time as a compliment.

Amazing how people think Zeon did nothing wrong but a good chunk of Australia disagrees with that thinking.

@@traphimawari7760 but but it's not "Real Zeonism." Hehehe

it was considered the white devil on the battlefield by Zeon so that is an accurate portrayal of how they seen the rx-78

Thunderbolt did that already.

Because it is... Amuro isn't like the later protags, he goes exclusively for the cockpit. If you are in a zaku, and you see that white robot, pray to whatever higher being you believe in because you are definitely dead.

​@@shidensasaki5527 No it's a possible variant of the Gundam Ez8.

We still ain't sure if that's an RX-78 variant, but i get ya

It's not the rx-78. The gunpla kit previews called it the gundam EX

I think the gundam here is more likely RX 79. The head and the chest part is similar to RX 79. There is also Gouf custom here, not the normal Gouf. So i think this is more likely based on gundam 8th ms team era.

@@paulsutanto9471 It's during the Odessa Campaign, to my knowledge - eastern Europe, near the end of the OYW; early November.

@@Shinigasumiwhich leads me to my question, why the hell does she say “what the hell is that” when, by this point in the war gundams are well known. We also don’t seem to see any feddie mobile suits except the Gundam, which is… a choice.

animated humans will always look clunky, its what we call uncanny valley

@@FulcroxI don’t know about that one, I’ve seen enough animation to know that it can look fine if done right

​@@anexistanthuman2435 I think the human character models could have benefitted from being a bit more stylized, like how Lupin III The First maintained the classic art style but translated it to CG.

The humans look like toys from Toy Story 2, pretty awful considering how amazing everything else looks. They got all the lights, sims, and shading right on the mechs and building but the humans look like action figure plastic

The humans look fine. Its the mouth movements, they're not synced up with the dialogue properly, making the face animation feel stiff and clunky.

Pretty sure that's a symptom of them needing to redub and reanimate lip movements for Japanese, so they keep it all very tight.

yeah i agree. that point where she looks like she is supposed to be excited when she sees the captian, that just looks blandish

Reminding me of RE Degeneration Leon.

I thought this was a video game trailer. I agree the animation is subpar for a movie.

Yeah, the charactet animation seems to be only about as good as Igloo, from decades ago.

Except that 1 scene in Gundam Hathaway where sparks where flying and crap were melting all over the place.

@@swyaseen Indeed. Thought even that didn't really capture the terror and sheer destruction, what I imagine, a Gundam or a Zaku could unleash in a crowded city center.

@@ZechsMerquise195 F91 did it well too. The Federation defense of Frontier 4 was a disaster with their disregard for the civilian casualties. In the history of LOL TOMINO moments, a woman's death by bonk to the head from a G-Cannon's discharged shell casing is second only to what happens to a child in Space Runaway Ideon. If you know, you know. Hathaway was one of the few times where they show the basic function of the Mobile Suit doing more damage than the artillery.

@@_GeneralMechanics_ that was a brutal scene in F91. A discharged shell the size of a fridge, killed her instantly

I know it's a film, but the entire cast so far screams of Sweet Baby Inc. Makes sense since Bandai Namco and SBI have been working together if the Unknown 9 dumpster fire is any indication

Oh I'd love to know what "point" they missed.

@@Peasham I’ve explained this replying to others below, but here goes. The original 79 Gundam had a heavy emphasis on anti-chauvinism, it was very cynical towards the military and militarism in general despite selling them as cool toys, which was what made the franchise stood out in my opinion (mecha was not a new genre in 79). An important part of the core concept was the death and conversion of individualism that’s fetishised into devotion for the military. Family, connection, love and all of that are used by the military as weapons at any place, any time, any cost. That’s why even though Gundam is iconic, the characters design even in newer series always remain rather generic, except for the very select few, and not necessary the “good guys”. Char for instance, stood out because of his iconic masked look. The reason why he’s “allowed” certain leeway is because of military reason. He’s an ace, his image served as a weapon to inspire the generic soldiers to die for the glory of battle. That’s extremely cynical view of the military practice. It actually addresses something uncomfortable about the US military that non-Americans often observe, such as in Starship Trooper. Decorative items and R&R things that are allowed are only there to distract the soldiers from the grim reality of militarism, making the military seem more “friendly”, rather than the monolithic, uncaring meat grinder that it is. That’s why having freely piercing, tattooed with cool haircut, “strong female” leaders figures work against the very idea that Gundam was build on. It’s hard to see that cynicism mentioned above if every other major military characters are allowed so much individualism. It makes the military depiction seem almost “accepting”, “cool” and in the end, “tragic”, rather than soul sucking and downright evil. Never forget how cruel, cunning and ultimately uncaring the “nice looking” female officers of the Federation were in the 1979 series. They are “conventionally attractive”, squeaky clean in the image of the military, but their actions show they are anything but. Willing to sacrifice civilians to lure out the enemies is the tip of the iceberg and it was done so casually one wouldn’t bat an eye almost. This is why reducing every situation into “awakening” or not is reductive and even downright disrespectful, especially if it was done without thoughts and consideration and especially being done to somebody else work. This goes both way of course as idiots would proclaim something as “went awaken” to offhandedly dismiss a thoughtless addition for conformity. Both are equally disrespectful and dismissive of the works and efforts being made.

@@lc9245 A cursory glance at any classic Gundam show shows that individualism was never once denied to any of the characters, the women actually NOT being conventionally attractive as Tomino fought for them, and Matilda specifically, to have short and at the time masculine hair despite the studio wanting her to be more, you guessed it, conventionally attractive. The actual point of Gundam is in fact that individual people within these factions aren't necessarily evil, whereas their leaders necessarily are, as admitted by Tomino multiple times it is first and foremost a story about humanity, not a story about humanity killing each other. However uh, no, Zeon propaganda specifically was focused on being scary and intimidating, it was never focused on conformity or squeaky clean posturing, I don't know why you've focused more on the Federation than Zeon here as all of these character designs are Zeon, not Federation, and they very much fit the image of intimidation. Though regardless, we can see through the various character designs that none of these factions have ever had any form of consistent standards anyway.

​@@Peasham I don't know if my composition or your comprehension is the issue to be addressed here, but it's like you were talking to someone else, comically missing my point. Let me be clear, probably one last time, about what I said. The show was anti-militarism. That has nothing to do with "denied individualism" through "cursory glance". You are lumping distinctive character design so you can tell them apart vs designing individualistic characters who are shown to be different and distinctive from each other. I'll address that in the uniform part. That point also has nothing to do with "a story about humanity" vs "a story about humanity killing each other". Zeon propaganda even less so and what do you mean by "focused more on Federation than Zeon"? Let's bring it back. Let's start with Zeon's propaganda? Zeon was quite deliberately alluded to as being "fascist-like", not "intimidating" per se, more "chauvinistic", "militant", "fascistic". The key word might be "glory in victory" or "strength". I don't want to bring too much analysis into the discussion to digress, but a particular memorable moment was the funeral in one of the earlier part/episode, in which the grieving father is reminded of his duty to the military and used his son's death to rally the troops. That's chauvinism. It is weak to grieve. Characters all have very visible emotion, but those emotions are eventually channelled through violence. The most decorated, individualised, as in accessorised, uniquely MADE to be by the character to be associated with them, other than their looks for reason I have mentioned that they need to look different from each other to be tell apart, aka their hair, is their weapon: the mechs. That's a given, since it is a show made to sell toys, but I think they cleverly used to as a point to be made about the nature of what you referred to as "necessarily are (evil)": the pursuit of victory, strength, chauvinism. This is why so-called anti-war movies that brought in things like brotherhood, soldiers putting cards on their helmet, posters on walls, listening to the radio and such which were supposed to invoke the "war is hell but we are still humans in the end", are condoned, accepted .... by the army. They know it romanticised war, and made the military "human". This is why I said adding soldier with piercing and tattoos, very individualistic as in being able to freely expressed their own uniqueness, hobby openly while serving in the military, as missing the point. It romanticised the military. I brought up the Federation's actions precisely because of that. They did not shy away from depicting the supposed good guys as being monsters despite them fighting fascists. Even the women military staffs were clearly capable of cunning and cruelty. It is that militarism, duty bound, winner takes all attitude that cast a long shadow on the show. Part of the shadow of militarism that can be seen was through the lens of conformity. Uniform is the first thing that made someone part of the military. Almost everyone is featureless, soldiers are depicted without accessories or special characteristics, which is precisely why Char felt special and stood out with his iconic helmet. Another part was Fraw joining the military by donning the greatest of conformity, the uniform on, and then Amuro putting on the fighting kit. That's why I brought up conformity. Militarism necessitate conformity for the sake of power and victory. Only through victory can one really be and make a "different", like Char. That's why everyone express themselves mostly through the only thing that represents them the most, their weapon, the robots. Having characters being allowed to "be free", is actually against that very spirit. I am very well aware that they can use those characters in a such a way that it twists the entire concept of "rebellious soldiers" in the military. Perhaps they already did by letting the fascist have cool hairdos, tattoos and piercings with people from diverse ethnicity, mocking or deconstructing other shows/tropes in which the "bad guys" are conformists and the good guys are diverse, tolerant. Maybe despite the veneer of the tattoos, piercing, the 2nd Lieutenant is completely a buy-the-book, follow order to the letter kind of soldier who would not hesitate to reduce children to ashes, and that all it takes is her to be allowed to have piercings. Now that would be an "appropriate" insertion of individualism expression for military character in an anti-war, anti-chauvinism series. I bring this up to show you I am not inherently against inserting such character design, but it must fit the theme of the series. If it's inserted just because, then it just would be missing the point and out of place.

Keep in mind that they're likely dubbing this in both English and Japanese. I imagine things might look significantly better in the original language.

@@Brasswatchman You know what? That is a fair point. I remember Lupin the 3rd: The First suffered from some horrendous mouth movements thanks to that, and that movie is _gorgeous_ otherwise. CGI is a lot tougher to change up for voicework than rewriting lines to fit into mouth flaps in 2D, and this is unfinished.

Most probably rx-79 eZ8 Gundam (G) variant.

@@akiraguybecause of the shoulder canon(the design shown only in Origin-related contents) and the antennas/horns(which Ez8 is known for not having them), I thought it was more like a variation of the Origin version of RX-78-2. But using a RX-79[G] Gundam Ground Type variant would make more sense for ground battles.

It looks like a variant of the ground type gundam, though the back mounted equipment might imply this happens in the Origin timeline. Until Bandai tells us which timeline, we won't know. Chances are Bandai will say both versions of UC happened in the over all "Turn A resets humanity between the shows" narrative.

@@akiraguy The EZ8 was a one-off, so very unlikely. More likely, it's one of the ground-types that the EZ8 was before its rebuild.

@@junior-fj8ud Yeah, Ez8 was a custom machine - this thing reeks of an early RX-79G machine (the chest says Gundam EX on it, according to the pictures from the gunpla releases). I would put it as an early RX-79G (especially given the EFGF on the shoulder in the stills I've seen).

The Ez8 and the Armored Gundam from Thunderbolt are the two from the UC timeline that I can think of that have red eyes. The RX-78-2 Gundam has orange eyes, and most of the ones after it have green. The red is VERY menacing.

Was that the pink hair tattooed f3m3n15t? Good grief man.

When this was initially being made, the technology hadn't existed yet in Unreal Engine to match some of the stuff we see in Love, Death, and Robots. Oddly had they waited until just last year to begin production, they'd of had everything they needed. If this gets a sequel, we'll probably see improved faces.

Nah the english does sound weird. Not necessarily bad va work it just doesn't sound mixed in to the animation. The lack of lip synching doesn't help either
