I'm going have to disagree about IBO and NT! IBO is actually one of the greatest meacha shows to come out because of its diversity from what a gundam world would look like without beam weapons (mostly... tashmahal mobile armor) and NT was great because it not only helped give explanation about newtypes, but the plot overall was pretty good as well (even though the movie could've gone on a bit longer for character development). Twilight axis however, . . . I could care less about.
@@shinji136 IBO is great especially its ending because the faction that realistically should win the final battle actually won. There's no plot armor or "power of (newtype) friendship" for the protags in the end. They took the wrong step during the crucial time and they paid the heavy price for it. Plain & simple.
Hey who are you fill out your about section people want to know where this grade A content is coming from. If not its cool or just do a background video
Your mastery of motion graphics and scene transition is spectacular. This video is a big breath of fresh air on this website and you should be very proud of this.
Exactly what I was thinking. Her voice, no stupid exaggerations, the music and voices in the background, the analysis. Everything flows so well. She deserves more and will get more subscribers. I'm subscribing.
Seeing Gigi run off to chad lad mcFeddy boi after holding her hand through the hellscape of MS battle gave me a deep depression that made me sympathise with this broken boy. His motivations are judged from misfortunes yet his actions remain calm and confident. Its scary and tragic
I *never* caught the detail of Hathaway freezing at seeing the hijacker wearing a mask that resembles Quess’s hair. CCA is one of my favorite movies. I feel stupid for missing that
Rarely do we find Gundam vids of your quality. Have to say, this is stellar work like all the others. Thank you for shining a light on the massive universe we know and love.
1:45 as someone who used to live in Davao city this is accurate (the name of the city in the movie). Once a month we usually have a blackout so it's normal for us to walk around in the dark at night. It's a more scarier experience at the forest, and it's even scarier at the ocean even though we don't have predators in the ocean
Yeah I just freaking love that one night fight scene. It really shows the fight from a nearby pedestrian angle, instead of the conventional fight observer angle.
Loved this video. And yeah, that mobile suit fight in the city was probably the stand out moment for me. I was just taken aback at how both beautifully stunning and terrifying it was. Their use of perspective was something I've hardly seen so effectively used in media and I loved every second of it.
One of my biggest complaints about Gundam is that these are supposed to be 6 story tall robots that move around like fighter jets, but they feel like they're maybe 20 ft tall tanks when we watch the shows. This movie did a fantastic job of showing them almost as Kaiju-esque monsters terrorizing everything around.
Though I don't agree Hathaway is the best gundam movie.You make a compelling argument that makes me view the movie through a new lense. Everything about this video is a deep look clearly made with a passion I rarely see on youtube anymore when it comes to anything related to Gundam. I deeply hope you continue to make videos.
This is easily the best Gundam video essay I've seen. I had a similarly strong reaction to this movie. I think it's the most experiential Gundam has been. You really capture its attention to detail, and it helps that the video itself is similarly aesthetically strong. Hope when the next one comes out we can expect another video essay from yourself on it.
Huge Gundam fan and I clicked this video after marathoning some of the trailers and to my suprise I was treated to one of best put together videos on Gundam ever. The effort is incredible instant subscription ❤
I watched this before seeing any of the previous Gundam shows so I was confused overall. I have since rewatched this after seeing 0079, Char's counterattack, Zeta and Unicorn. Now, I too think this is the best so far, the overall feel and ambience is what I liked best and I can't wait to see the rest of what's to come. Thanks for a great insight, looking forward to more from the Gundam series, hopefully =)
In my experience, unusually weird dialogue in the U.C. is often due to the newtype's ability. It's like that's their natural way of conversing and the most basic ability of a newtype is understanding others Edit : " newtype's conversation is extremely Straight "
I think the funniest part about Newtype speech being "weird" to me is that, I can't notice that its weird. I see why people joke that being a newtype is space autism.
It's this crazy thing where they're reading your mind while you're reading their mind. It creates this feedback loop where two newtypes either fall in love or want to murder each other. There is no inbetween.
Great video. I loved the Hathaway adaptation and I can’t wait for the rest. My favorite scenes are when he goes full newtype ptsd and has flashbacks to Quess. I love that aspect of you have to know what has happened to know what’s going on now. I miss that in media. Your breakdown was superb without giving away too much. Well done!
that short edit at the end really got my emotions going a bit; using footage from the Xi/Penelope fight made me realise its more a fight based on ideals and trying to maintain them rather than just fighting for combat. well, at least thats whats going on on Hathaway's side of things.
this has shown incredible quality for a video just on a gundam movie, the research and time put into these videos are incredible its crazy how this channel has been undiscovered by more fans of the gundam series.
The 'SO FAR' is doing a lot of carrying for this video, specially since Hathaway is meant to be a trilogy leaving some loose ends and even though it's visually beautiful, I found some stuff that are weird (specially the NIGHT shots) and because of it, I found the final battle a bit underwhelming. As for the characters: Hathaway is far more tolerable than he was in CCA (which is a pretty low bar) Gigi is eh 🤷♂️ Kenneth is probably the best of the 3 because Junichi Suwabe is so damn charismatic I do think it's a GOOD movie though, that's for sure. Regardless, I do find it interesting to know other people's perspectives.
What about the night shots was wierd? Hell even the realism was impressively conveyed far better than anything a 260mil dollar marvel movie can do in the past 3 years
The attention to detail in this movie is striking. I paused at the point where Hathaway opens his book on botany and the content on the pages is actually about plants, not just gibberish. Then, the sound effects, OMG it is a maximum eargasm, especially with headphones. Then to top it up, the soundtracks by the Master, it's perfect.
My favorite part of this movie is how everything is so beautiful, from character design to animation... Was not a bigfan of the two suits but overtime I kinda like it.
Fantastic essay and editing. I agree that this movie is phenomenal in the way that it expects you to know prior events in the UC timeline, yet standalone, one can still enjoy it. With so many IPs going dormant or crashing due to ineptitude, ego, etc, it's refreshing to see Gundam still offering good content.
The attention to detail was truly nothing like weve seen before from Gundams long history. The animators took the Davao scenes straight from real life which is accompanied with wonderfully fluid movement with such attention to such small details. However, the story and plot is not the most solid with some holes here and there but all in all, it is quite enjoyable as long as you dont latch on its deficiencies too much.
Felt like watching a Bond movie, this is Gundam's awareness that the young fans have aged to about 30's and 40's and would appreciate a mature take on the series. NOICE
I heard they didn't actually cover explaining the whole teamkill incident being buried. (Original novel didn't have that issue because in Beltorchika's Children he didn't do that Chan and the woman Gunei/Glarv kill are the same woman)
Not gonna lie, this is what got me into gundam. I had tried before to get into the U.C. before but I was running into a wall. When I saw this film I had nothing but a rough context based on clips, wiki surfing and the like, and I was floored. The characters, the visuals, there was a visceral feeling the entire time. It gave me something I could hold to when I dove into the rest of the UC. Now I’m a fan for good.
This was literally me. When I watched G Hathaway, I had never managed to get into gundam. A year later and I've watched this movie close to ten times, watched a lot of the entries, have gotten into gunplas (just finished my xi gundam today). I've always loved the idea of mechas but I had never found something to fullfill that, this movie scratched that itch in the animation part while Armored core 6 did it for games
This is an absolute masterpiece by itself. I am fifty years old now and I am going through the whole UC series again from scratch. I am currently labouring through ZZ which I still think is an absolute shxthole (I don’t enjoy the “humour”) and I am looking forward to CCA again. I am leaving Hathaway for after and this YT “trailer” heightens my anticipation to a super level !
Hey, I don't know who you are but this video it's amazing. The script, the transtitions and the last montage are truly incredible! Thanks for this piece of media.
I came from Wing Serie but then I watch Gundam Universe Century In chronological order. It was like back in time till Hathaway. I really appreciate the origin story the graphic wasn't that good but now from Unicorn and especially Hathaway the graphic the music and the storytelling are way better It drags you into their emotion and reality. I watched it 4 times now and I still love it the cockpit in the mobile suits feels like u are in the cockpit first person.
This is by far the best review of Hathaway I've seen on UA-cam. Your thought really echo that of mine and watching it just makes me wanna see Hathaway again (already seen it like 10 times btw). Plus, great work on the motion graphics! I'll forgive you for using dub footage as well.
Also random trivia, hathaway heard quess’ voice on the plane but it coincided with gigi’s thoughts This was confirmed that they casted quess’ actress’ daughter (the original passed away) just for that line
Yes, I absolutely agree. I love Universal century story line and the designs of the characters and mobile suits. Please tell there is a sequel to this film and more projects and films to come.
In truth Hathaway doesnt actually have much of a personal goal nor his plans serve some greater purpose. His main motivation in all of this basically simping, worse still he is simping for a person that no longer exist. Quess chooses Char and that fueled Hathaway's inferiority complex. Char ultimately failed in his plan so by finishing what he had started, he can 1up Char and prove to Quess that he is better than him at his own game. (hence the whole Quess newtype flash scene and his internal monologue rejection of Amuro newtype ghost talk). That's his whole sthick basically. In the beginning of the show newspaper clippings portraying Mafty as carrying on Char's will, and even in the taxi scene he put forth his plan to the taxi driver, to move humanity out to space exactly like Char did, but the taxi driver retort thats too far into the future for him to care about. Hathaway goes quiet and doesnt have an answer for this because in truth he is just parroting Char and didn't really think it through nor have any real substance to his plan. (additional point of note: throughout all this all he ever had was newtype flashes of Quess and Amuro telling him to stop, he doesn't even have any newtype conversations with Char. For a guy that says he is trying to complete Char's vision thats really telling in what Hathaway thinks of it and what he actually wants out of this) His plans just convinently happen to involved taking out corrupt fed politician and that is just an unintended benefit that attracted plenty of liked minded individuals to his cause, innocent bystander be damned. Outwardly Mafty portrayed himself as a very strong wiled and confident individual strutting around like a person with a clear goal in mind willing to do whatever nesessary to see to his plan (cough-Char-cough) but internally Hathaway doesnt know what he is doing hence the back and forth between executing his plan or abandoning it midway after meeting Gigi. Speaking of which, Gigi reminds him of Quess hence his wavering conviction and pondering on abandoning the entire project to run away with her. (the whole Mafty attacking the hotel sequence and Hathaway didnt stick to the intended plan instead running all over the place with Gigi). To begin with Quess herself has some questionable morality, her moral compass was off kiltered from the start willing to participate in mass genocide of entire earth population. Yet Hathaway still continues simping for her all these years unwilling to see the ugly side of her, goes to show how Hathaway weren't right in the head somewhere. And as much as Bright werent in Hathaway's life, so too did Hathaway actively avoid his father while conveniently uses his name to obtain some privileges. And even if Bright werent there for him he still has his mom which is a far better upbringing than what most UC characters could ever had. Yet he still turns out the way he does, its all entirely his choice and no ones to fault but his own. He is the protagonist of the show but he isn't the good nor even the bad guy in the traditional sense, its a story of a guy unable to move from the past and manifest it in the worse way possible.
Gundam is at its best when the tragedy and destruction of war is on full display while a few of the characters still maintain their optimism and humanity in the face of it. That’s why unicorn’s best scene was everything involving the zeon remnants fight in Australia and the mobile armor with it.
7:34 glad you mentioned that cuz i don’t think most people know that in CCA, hathaway was literally instructed to write his own final will during the war Imagine being just a teenager and you’re being asked to write down your final words, and it was so nonchalant as well cuz the one telling him to do it even commented “add a piece of your hair for your mom”
char's counterattack is still better (imo), even in the metrics you use to praise hathaway's flash - but that's a moot point! this is an amazing video essay, and a refreshing thing to see in this fandom overall. you've 100% inspired me to check out the rest of your channel. and this just makes me even more excited for the other movies!!
I love this movie, I haven't watched ANYTHING Gundam related but caught up on some essential story threads as a primer. The visuals, the motifs, the OST.. All of it, it reached deep and resonated in my soul and gut. It is such a movie I find difficult to describe other than it taps into the core of my very being. Gigi alone was fantastic, the whole happenstance union was bittersweet and grounded.
As a fan of the more modern gundam series without any particular context to Gundam Hathaway; I still felt able to get into it very easily. Sure, there were things I didn't have context for but those didn't diminish my enjoyment of the movie at all, and until you mentioned things like Hathaway's background with the ocean, I hadn't so much as thought about them twice. Old fans will see things hinted and be excited with the easter eggs, but newer fans (or people who just don't like the older gundam series, like myself) will generally think that the mentions are there simply to develop the character with more human traits. Hathaway is a masterpiece either way, and you've done a great job with the video itself. Good analysis, excellent transitions.
If you absolutely don't want to watch the older gundam series, i'd recommend maybe watching the 0079 and zeta compilation trilogies, followed by chars counterattack. Less of a time sink, and you still get the main foundations for Hathaway, and with 0079 especially one of the most influential anime of all time.
This video is top tier. I never had a single clue about UC before watching this movie when it came out on Netflix. Thought it would go something like Seed or Wing where you can just watch it standalone. I was extremely confused but I knew deep down that I watched something special. Already finished the original Gundam with Amuro and planning on finishing the rest before the next movie comes out. Thanks for reminding me through this video.
I liked the futuristic vibe that this film had. Yeah it clearly shows that it takes place way into the future, it still looks like a world that we can possibly see in the foreseeable future.
I’ve loved this movie for a long time. And I keep watching it over and over. It’s my favorite along with unicorn. I really love the relevance to our actual society that this story has.
So I’m not going to lie to you at all. I’ve been a Gundam head since the age of 7 (am 30 now) and I never bothered watching MS GUNDAM, ZETA, DOUBLE ZETA, etc. I only ever watched CE shows but I always had an insane urge to want to build Penelope. It was probably two weeks ago when this video was recommended to me and I went and watched Hathaway for the first time…. it is quite literally one of my favorite anime films of all time now and I have watched it three times! Since then I have gone back and watched all 42 episodes of mobile suit Gundam, all 50 of Zeta Gundam and I just started ZZ. Once I make it past Char’s Counter Attack I am going to watch Hathaway again just because of how in depth this video goes. Amazing video. Seriously 🙏🙏👏👏
Amazing work. A thorough review of the movie. For me, you put into words of what everything I thought 'made sense' in the movie. Exactly my thought I would say. And yes, you need to first have a significant amount of 'education' on UC Gundam history to put the storyline in place. Congratulations. Your new subscriber here.
Your editing for the endng of this video, the music and the clips you used gave me chills. Great work. Its made me want to check out the prequels to this.
I've learned my lesson from the Eva Rebuilds and just gonna wait this one out, because they still haven't even announced when they're planning on releasing the other two.
Not going to lie, it leaves you craving more. I wouldn't even consider myself a Gundam fan having only seen the 08th MS Team and this hit some notes for me. Really looking forward to the next entry.
I liked Iron Blooded Orphans it's the very first Gundam series that I watched. IDK why everyone hated it? The video is nicely edited and very thought provoking. I owned the Gundam Xi Uniqlo Shirt (the red one) and I'll watch that when the other two movies come either in Cinemas or Netflix And when you said the Mobile Suits are wrecking havoc and killing civilians and pilots in a crossfire reminds me of 86, instead of giant humanoids, 86 gets spider tanks.
Wow that some some spectacular production values on your end as well! I watched this movie as my very first look into Gundam and was totally lost and I thought it was just a bad movie. Then i went Unicorn then 0079 and have kept digging deeper and now rewatching it after learning more about the Universal Century it certainly hits different.
There isn’t a lot of articulate commentary on the Gundam franchise on UA-cam outside the usual “Giant robot cool” or model kit review so this is an absolute breath of fresh air as someone who’s been a fan for uh…more than 2/3rds of my life at this point. Hathaway is definitely in a league of its own in terms of Gundam movies. I’ve waited for a long time to see if the franchise was capable of something akin to an espionage thriller and it managed to achieve that so effortlessly. The amount of atmosphere, mood, and world building done on the first half of the film pays off so incredibly well on the back half. Really looking forward to see how the rest of the books are adapted.
I first watched this film on my plane back to my home town. Even on my small phone (Which I'll admit did limit the experience) I felt so giddy watching the film, and it was the most fun I had and investment I had in a movie for a long time. And I didn't even read the book series nor did I watch zeta Gundam. And I barley watched Chars Counterattack on the plane to the vacation spot. The film had some of the best characters I had in all honesty ever seen in fiction in quite a while. I was so invested in where the story would take them. They felt like real people that I could empathize with, that felt alive to me, and that even I could relate to, to a certain degree. This movie literally reached film level quality of movies like the recent Dennie Villeneuve's D U N E, Top Gun Maverick, and The Batman. all three films that might be viewed through my eyes as some of the best movies ever made in the past five years. A this movie came out before each, and now it retains the spot of being not just the best in the last five years, but one of the best movies I have ever seen. I can't describe to you how much I love this film. The animation, the story, the characters, the action, the soundtrack. . . . . .Oh MY GOD the soundtrack. Heck, when typing this, I suddenly had the opinion that Martin Scorsese might even be proud of the film if he watched it. I don't know why, but lately I've come to like characters who are incredibly stoic or who have a great deal of trama and regret. Like the latest version of Bruce Wayne, or Macerick, or Paul Attreides And Hathaway is one of them. He is just so interesting in the sense that he just provides so much mystery for me to be invested in. Along with the other characters who I found a deep interest in such as Gigi. I might be a little weirded out by Kenneth slegg though, but he is still likable. I love the action and the designs of the mobile suits because they feel so real. They don't feel like they can move at the speed of light like the unicorn or vidar, but instead feel like real machines that look like tanks with their bulkyness. Almost like people are piloting giant knights or Giant Samurai. Even then they just feel like monsters at some points, like the battle in the city park. When I first watched that scene my mouth was open the entire time of that sequence. Because I was just in awe and I felt like I was threatened. You can feel the terror and fear in Gigi's screams as amunition is being blown above the two of them, and as the medal of the mobile suits clash together. It honesty left me kinda scared even to me. And this was all on the discomfort of a plane with the air pressure on your ears and in the uncomfortable seat. And yet it was like I was being sucked into another universe, like I was there with every character. Percs and love to the people who made this masterpiece of a movie. Unfortunately I have grown from loving Gundam to liking and sometimes being downright disappointed in it or even hating it at times. There would be times where I watched it and I just felt as if it was very hypocritical about it's anti war message. It didn't feel like it had the duality that alot of gundam UA-camrs mistakenly say it has with it's characters. Even in the original series I never got the sense that what tomino was trying to tell me was that war was the villain like UA-camrs say that gundam is trying to say. I got the feeling that he was trying to tell me that the zeons we're the "villains" and the Gundam was the "hero". But in reality there are no heros or villains in war. It felt like the series was being biase towards one side. However in war, concluding that one side is evil and the other is good, is a faulty one. It's a mindset that both the Nazis had, and the Americans had towards both sides. The myth that, "If we just defeat the enemy side then we will solve the world's problems" or "If we just end this war, then we will make the world better", was the vibe I was getting. Not the vibe that the show was showing duality between peoples, and showing that War is the true antagonist, not the enemy side. This is what I mean, this UA-camr gives an amazing analysis of what a real anti war story should be ua-cam.com/video/yf0G2MPBEYM/v-deo.html. The only truly anti war Gundam series that I felt was authentic in it's messaging was Gundam 0080 war in the pocket. Which was also an amazing series. It involved good people fighting against other good people, in a conflict that shows that War doesn't just kill people, it tares apart relationships, and ruins the potential that could have been between the love between people. The dynamic between Bernie, Alfred, and Chris is the perfect example. This film however is still a movie I deeply love, and cherish. It actually had a compelling duality between the two sides. No side is entirely good, or entirely evil. Instead what is truly bad is the war that affects every citizen, the war that scarred Hathaway for life, and the violence that terrified Gigi. It's one the reasons I still watch Gundam from time to time. Thank you so much Tomino. I think this is your best work of fiction yet. And I am glad that it was made into one of the best films ever made in my opinion.
Great video. You did an amazing job describing what happened and the small bits of info that would get lost to people not familiar to the UC timeline. Video production was excellent as well. Hathaways Flash was essentially the first thing I watched all the way through in the entirety of the Gundam franchise, since it was just a movie. I'm now an avid Gunpla builder and I'm currently going through the original UC era shows. I've finished 0079, Zeta, and have ZZ and Char's Counterattack to still finish and go through but I hadn't realized how much stuff is crammed in this movie that is a callback to them. Definitely looking forward to a rewatch once I get through everything else I need to... I also plan on watching all the side stuff as well in the UC if I can. Finished 0083 and that was really fun too.
This gives me some hope to see an adaptation of "SENTINEL," and it would be amazing if they did it with the same attention to mechanical detail as "0083 Stardust Memory." I wonder though, since you bring up the relationship of Bright and Hathaway if they're going to use some of the expanded canon of "UC" in the story going forward. It would add more weight to the conclusion of the story considering how the Federation leaders want to finish quelling the Laplace Incident, and the end the career of the Captain of all Gundam pilots.
@@MSZsama Most likely after finishing with hathaway flash they'll go with crossbone, its the most requested gundam adaptation and it goes along the line of sunrise adapting the in-between char's counterattack and victory
First of all... what an AMAZING review talking about Gundam HATHAWAY, the editing it's nuts. And the last 48 seconds gave me literally chills when I heard Möbius playing in the background. It makes me want to see the movie again. This was my first approaching to the franchise and I knew that I had to do some digging about things that I couldn't get clear while watching the movie, but despite that... I was shocked about the bombastic movie I was watching, can 't wait to see the upcoming ones.
I was told that Hathaway movie 1 hasn't actually explained how it managed to happen in the mainline CCA timeline. Since the original novel is the sequal yo the Beltorchica's Children novel/manga where Hathaway does not get Possesed by the lingering Simpitude of Katz (like Full frontal was possessed by Char's resentment) and teamkill.
This video is great. Explains how I feel about Gundam in general. No one seems to understand why IBO, TA, and NA were disappointing to me. Felt like I was alone. Glad someone else seems to hold the same opinions as I do as a Gundam fanatic. Great video explaining Hathaway's Flash.
Thank you for your insight about this movie. Just watched it. This name has stuck in my head for a long time as Chan's murder over Quess. Not that favourite character since then. Until I saw Amuro flashing in his thought at the final part of this movie, I realised I have misunderstanding this whole movie until I saw your videos. That void is filled after some many years (char's counterattack). Finally some follow up on this character's ark. But somehow he is still managed to attract weird complex female character, Quess now Gigi. 😅 Now I am hype for the next movie.
Nah, I dont watch a lot of gundam and lose interest midway through most seasons, new and old. This is the first gundam I thoroughly enjoyed. And I didnt even know any of the nuanced references you pointed out. As someone who knew nothing of Hathaway I was really impressed with the dialogue and pacing. The storytelling really surprises you on what is essentially a "reveal" for those not in the know where I was only suspect of what he was. It really stands on its own and may have actually got me to invest some time in the mainline story.
I've watched Char's counter attack. SEED saga. Thunderbolt. I love how this one goes. It's an art. Even though it was written 30 years ago, a little adoption still makes it so great....Gundam is about to stop the war, not to start one.
It’s also mu favorite Gundam movie, one of my favorite movies ever. When Inhave nothing to watch on Netflix I watch Hathaway and become very emo all over again.
Another thing that I feel like gets glossed over a lot is that, not only are you running in terror from the giant death machines, you're running in terror from what could become a nuclear bomb if hit in the reactor.
That cheeky thumbnail.
I'm going have to disagree about IBO and NT! IBO is actually one of the greatest meacha shows to come out because of its diversity from what a gundam world would look like without beam weapons (mostly... tashmahal mobile armor) and NT was great because it not only helped give explanation about newtypes, but the plot overall was pretty good as well (even though the movie could've gone on a bit longer for character development). Twilight axis however, . . . I could care less about.
@@RyohuHajimeRX-0UnicornGundam IBO is bad. That doesn't magically change because of having an initial premise that's interesting to some people.
@@shinji136 IBO is great especially its ending because the faction that realistically should win the final battle actually won.

"The grim reaper won't come for you when you expect it, Hathaway."
What a line.

It honestly makes watching Gundam Chars counter attack and the other prequel series so much better.
Little Hathaway’s cameos are so meaningful.
1:45 as someone who used to live in Davao city this is accurate (the name of the city in the movie). Once a month we usually have a blackout so it's normal for us to walk around in the dark at night. It's a more scarier experience at the forest, and it's even scarier at the ocean even though we don't have predators in the ocean
I dont recall any blackout ..i think brown out on some areas for maintenance

Though I don't agree Hathaway is the best gundam movie.You make a compelling argument that makes me view the movie through a new lense. Everything about this video is a deep look clearly made with a passion I rarely see on youtube anymore when it comes to anything related to Gundam. I deeply hope you continue to make videos.
Thunderbolt imo is better. Still Hathaway was no slouch
Char's Counterattack still remains best Gundam film, but Hathaway ain't no slouch either and neither is Unicorn.
Papa gundam, never thought i would see you here
Gundam hathaway isn't the best but it's good enough to get you invested and wanting more
@@mattmaddogwheaton4724chars is the og but thunderbolt was on a new level
Aw man,I did not even notice why Hathaway froze up when the clown mask hijacker pointed the gun at him.....now I know
I literally have to force myself not to rewatch the movie, I've already watched it 6 times and I only want to watch it again
This is easily the best Gundam video essay I've seen. I had a similarly strong reaction to this movie. I think it's the most experiential Gundam has been. You really capture its attention to detail, and it helps that the video itself is similarly aesthetically strong. Hope when the next one comes out we can expect another video essay from yourself on it.
Also there's a timely flash back when Gigi goes to that general. The fight with amaro and char was very nice to see animated with modern animation.
Huge Gundam fan and I clicked this video after marathoning some of the trailers and to my suprise I was treated to one of best put together videos on Gundam ever. The effort is incredible instant subscription ❤
I watched this before seeing any of the previous Gundam shows so I was confused overall. I have since rewatched this after seeing 0079, Char's counterattack, Zeta and Unicorn. Now, I too think this is the best so far, the overall feel and ambience is what I liked best and I can't wait to see the rest of what's to come. Thanks for a great insight, looking forward to more from the Gundam series, hopefully =)
In my experience, unusually weird dialogue in the U.C. is often due to the newtype's ability. It's like that's their natural way of conversing and the most basic ability of a newtype is understanding others
Edit : " newtype's conversation is extremely Straight "
I think the funniest part about Newtype speech being "weird" to me is that, I can't notice that its weird.
I see why people joke that being a newtype is space autism.
It's this crazy thing where they're reading your mind while you're reading their mind. It creates this feedback loop where two newtypes either fall in love or want to murder each other. There is no inbetween.
Great video. I loved the Hathaway adaptation and I can’t wait for the rest. My favorite scenes are when he goes full newtype ptsd and has flashbacks to Quess. I love that aspect of you have to know what has happened to know what’s going on now. I miss that in media. Your breakdown was superb without giving away too much. Well done!
Hathaway gundam is the most beautiful and aesthetic created visual i have ever seen
Damn I've watched this several times already and every time it transitions from Amuro scolding Hathaway to Möbius it gives me goosebumps
that short edit at the end really got my emotions going a bit; using footage from the Xi/Penelope fight made me realise its more a fight based on ideals and trying to maintain them rather than just fighting for combat. well, at least thats whats going on on Hathaway's side of things.
this has shown incredible quality for a video just on a gundam movie, the research and time put into these videos are incredible its crazy how this channel has been undiscovered by more fans of the gundam series.
The 'SO FAR' is doing a lot of carrying for this video, specially since Hathaway is meant to be a trilogy leaving some loose ends and even though it's visually beautiful, I found some stuff that are weird (specially the NIGHT shots) and because of it, I found the final battle a bit underwhelming.
As for the characters:
Hathaway is far more tolerable than he was in CCA (which is a pretty low bar)
Gigi is eh 🤷♂️
Kenneth is probably the best of the 3 because Junichi Suwabe is so damn charismatic
I do think it's a GOOD movie though, that's for sure.
Regardless, I do find it interesting to know other people's perspectives.
Junichi Suwabe is always GARRR.. whatever timeline or universe he exist
ya know if your TV is properly calibrated those night scenes are amazing. You might look into your settings menu
@@brooks5419 aight
@@Asphyx12 lol i wasnt replying to you, i only saw the parent comment. But glad you got something out of it too
What about the night shots was wierd? Hell even the realism was impressively conveyed far better than anything a 260mil dollar marvel movie can do in the past 3 years
The attention to detail in this movie is striking. I paused at the point where Hathaway opens his book on botany and the content on the pages is actually about plants, not just gibberish. Then, the sound effects, OMG it is a maximum eargasm, especially with headphones. Then to top it up, the soundtracks by the Master, it's perfect.
Really well said and edited. Can't wait for part 2 and 3 of the trilogy!
Damn, you make me want to rewatch it a third time, this review is definitely a good watch.
When I watch the movie I immediately fell in love with that one Mobile suit Penelope Gundam and I addicted to it
My favorite part of this movie is how everything is so beautiful, from character design to animation... Was not a bigfan of the two suits but overtime I kinda like it.
Fantastic essay and editing.
I agree that this movie is phenomenal in the way that it expects you to know prior events in the UC timeline, yet standalone, one can still enjoy it.
With so many IPs going dormant or crashing due to ineptitude, ego, etc, it's refreshing to see Gundam still offering good content.
The attention to detail was truly nothing like weve seen before from Gundams long history. The animators took the Davao scenes straight from real life which is accompanied with wonderfully fluid movement with such attention to such small details. However, the story and plot is not the most solid with some holes here and there but all in all, it is quite enjoyable as long as you dont latch on its deficiencies too much.
Because it's meant to be a trilogy lmao
That's why I have a problem with this 'Best Gundam Movie' (so far)
Felt like watching a Bond movie, this is Gundam's awareness that the young fans have aged to about 30's and 40's and would appreciate a mature take on the series. NOICE
I hope they can cover the holes and make this the start of new era high quality gundam
I heard they didn't actually cover explaining the whole teamkill incident being buried. (Original novel didn't have that issue because in Beltorchika's Children he didn't do that Chan and the woman Gunei/Glarv kill are the same woman)
The author made an explanation at 5:00 over the plot hole narrative reasoning and decision
Not gonna lie, this is what got me into gundam. I had tried before to get into the U.C. before but I was running into a wall. When I saw this film I had nothing but a rough context based on clips, wiki surfing and the like, and I was floored. The characters, the visuals, there was a visceral feeling the entire time. It gave me something I could hold to when I dove into the rest of the UC. Now I’m a fan for good.
This was literally me. When I watched G Hathaway, I had never managed to get into gundam. A year later and I've watched this movie close to ten times, watched a lot of the entries, have gotten into gunplas (just finished my xi gundam today). I've always loved the idea of mechas but I had never found something to fullfill that, this movie scratched that itch in the animation part while Armored core 6 did it for games
Hail the algorithm for bringing me here. I love gundam too since I was a kid and it’s always great hearing video essays from others who enjoy it too
It truly is one of the best. Great animation, music, kaiju gundam fights, he uses jiu jitsu on those terrorists. So good.
This is an absolute masterpiece by itself. I am fifty years old now and I am going through the whole UC series again from scratch. I am currently labouring through ZZ which I still think is an absolute shxthole (I don’t enjoy the “humour”) and I am looking forward to CCA again. I am leaving Hathaway for after and this YT “trailer” heightens my anticipation to a super level !
Hey, I don't know who you are but this video it's amazing. The script, the transtitions and the last montage are truly incredible! Thanks for this piece of media.
Welcome back! Wonderfully made!
Those night battles where the whole scene is lit and colored by beam weapons are fucking gorgeous.
I came from Wing Serie but then I watch Gundam Universe Century In chronological order. It was like back in time till Hathaway. I really appreciate the origin story the graphic wasn't that good but now from Unicorn and especially Hathaway the graphic the music and the storytelling are way better It drags you into their emotion and reality. I watched it 4 times now and I still love it the cockpit in the mobile suits feels like u are in the cockpit first person.
Technically Origin is alt-UC.
This movie fucking rules and jesus christ i hope they make the rest of this series. The fight scenes were some of the coolest in the whole franchise.
This is by far the best review of Hathaway I've seen on UA-cam. Your thought really echo that of mine and watching it just makes me wanna see Hathaway again (already seen it like 10 times btw). Plus, great work on the motion graphics! I'll forgive you for using dub footage as well.
I may have not followed all UC timeline, but after i saw the heavy atmosphere of the movie's theme it hook me up
The TV series are even darker. Namely the 2nd half of Zeta, ZZ and the entire Victory series.
@@MSZsama Darker as in?
this channel will blow up, you deserve 1M with this quality
Thank you for this! You've articulated how I feel about this movie so well!
Also random trivia, hathaway heard quess’ voice on the plane but it coincided with gigi’s thoughts
This was confirmed that they casted quess’ actress’ daughter (the original passed away) just for that line
Yes, I absolutely agree. I love Universal century story line and the designs of the characters and mobile suits. Please tell there is a sequel to this film and more projects and films to come.
Now then… Anyone heard news about the second part?
It’s so good! AND THE OPENING CREDITS ARE LIKE A BOND MOVIE IT’S SO GOOD.
In truth Hathaway doesnt actually have much of a personal goal nor his plans serve some greater purpose. His main motivation in all of this basically simping, worse still he is simping for a person that no longer exist.
Quess chooses Char and that fueled Hathaway's inferiority complex. Char ultimately failed in his plan so by finishing what he had started, he can 1up Char and prove to Quess that he is better than him at his own game. (hence the whole Quess newtype flash scene and his internal monologue rejection of Amuro newtype ghost talk). That's his whole sthick basically.
In the beginning of the show newspaper clippings portraying Mafty as carrying on Char's will, and even in the taxi scene he put forth his plan to the taxi driver, to move humanity out to space exactly like Char did, but the taxi driver retort thats too far into the future for him to care about. Hathaway goes quiet and doesnt have an answer for this because in truth he is just parroting Char and didn't really think it through nor have any real substance to his plan. (additional point of note: throughout all this all he ever had was newtype flashes of Quess and Amuro telling him to stop, he doesn't even have any newtype conversations with Char. For a guy that says he is trying to complete Char's vision thats really telling in what Hathaway thinks of it and what he actually wants out of this)
His plans just convinently happen to involved taking out corrupt fed politician and that is just an unintended benefit that attracted plenty of liked minded individuals to his cause, innocent bystander be damned. Outwardly Mafty portrayed himself as a very strong wiled and confident individual strutting around like a person with a clear goal in mind willing to do whatever nesessary to see to his plan (cough-Char-cough) but internally Hathaway doesnt know what he is doing hence the back and forth between executing his plan or abandoning it midway after meeting Gigi.
Speaking of which, Gigi reminds him of Quess hence his wavering conviction and pondering on abandoning the entire project to run away with her. (the whole Mafty attacking the hotel sequence and Hathaway didnt stick to the intended plan instead running all over the place with Gigi). To begin with Quess herself has some questionable morality, her moral compass was off kiltered from the start willing to participate in mass genocide of entire earth population. Yet Hathaway still continues simping for her all these years unwilling to see the ugly side of her, goes to show how Hathaway weren't right in the head somewhere.
And as much as Bright werent in Hathaway's life, so too did Hathaway actively avoid his father while conveniently uses his name to obtain some privileges. And even if Bright werent there for him he still has his mom which is a far better upbringing than what most UC characters could ever had. Yet he still turns out the way he does, its all entirely his choice and no ones to fault but his own.
He is the protagonist of the show but he isn't the good nor even the bad guy in the traditional sense, its a story of a guy unable to move from the past and manifest it in the worse way possible.
Gundam is at its best when the tragedy and destruction of war is on full display while a few of the characters still maintain their optimism and humanity in the face of it. That’s why unicorn’s best scene was everything involving the zeon remnants fight in Australia and the mobile armor with it.
7:34 glad you mentioned that cuz i don’t think most people know that in CCA, hathaway was literally instructed to write his own final will during the war
Imagine being just a teenager and you’re being asked to write down your final words, and it was so nonchalant as well cuz the one telling him to do it even commented “add a piece of your hair for your mom”
char's counterattack is still better (imo), even in the metrics you use to praise hathaway's flash - but that's a moot point! this is an amazing video essay, and a refreshing thing to see in this fandom overall. you've 100% inspired me to check out the rest of your channel. and this just makes me even more excited for the other movies!!
I love this movie, I haven't watched ANYTHING Gundam related but caught up on some essential story threads as a primer. The visuals, the motifs, the OST.. All of it, it reached deep and resonated in my soul and gut. It is such a movie I find difficult to describe other than it taps into the core of my very being.
Gigi alone was fantastic, the whole happenstance union was bittersweet and grounded.
As a fan of the more modern gundam series without any particular context to Gundam Hathaway; I still felt able to get into it very easily. Sure, there were things I didn't have context for but those didn't diminish my enjoyment of the movie at all, and until you mentioned things like Hathaway's background with the ocean, I hadn't so much as thought about them twice.
Old fans will see things hinted and be excited with the easter eggs, but newer fans (or people who just don't like the older gundam series, like myself) will generally think that the mentions are there simply to develop the character with more human traits.
Hathaway is a masterpiece either way, and you've done a great job with the video itself. Good analysis, excellent transitions.
If you absolutely don't want to watch the older gundam series, i'd recommend maybe watching the 0079 and zeta compilation trilogies, followed by chars counterattack. Less of a time sink, and you still get the main foundations for Hathaway, and with 0079 especially one of the most influential anime of all time.
This video is top tier. I never had a single clue about UC before watching this movie when it came out on Netflix. Thought it would go something like Seed or Wing where you can just watch it standalone. I was extremely confused but I knew deep down that I watched something special.
Already finished the original Gundam with Amuro and planning on finishing the rest before the next movie comes out. Thanks for reminding me through this video.
I liked the futuristic vibe that this film had. Yeah it clearly shows that it takes place way into the future, it still looks like a world that we can possibly see in the foreseeable future.
I’ve loved this movie for a long time. And I keep watching it over and over. It’s my favorite along with unicorn. I really love the relevance to our actual society that this story has.
So I’m not going to lie to you at all. I’ve been a Gundam head since the age of 7 (am 30 now) and I never bothered watching MS GUNDAM, ZETA, DOUBLE ZETA, etc. I only ever watched CE shows but I always had an insane urge to want to build Penelope.
It was probably two weeks ago when this video was recommended to me and I went and watched Hathaway for the first time…. it is quite literally one of my favorite anime films of all time now and I have watched it three times! Since then I have gone back and watched all 42 episodes of mobile suit Gundam, all 50 of Zeta Gundam and I just started ZZ. Once I make it past Char’s Counter Attack I am going to watch Hathaway again just because of how in depth this video goes.
Amazing video. Seriously 🙏🙏👏👏
Incredible editing. I've been taking a break from Gundam, but I'll definitely watch this movie.
Hiroyuki Sawano absolutely MELTED my heart with the Hathaway OST. It feels like a global anthem for everybody alive when I hear EARth.
not gonna lie, being able to watch another UC timeline these days like a fine gem.
Amazing work. A thorough review of the movie. For me, you put into words of what everything I thought 'made sense' in the movie. Exactly my thought I would say. And yes, you need to first have a significant amount of 'education' on UC Gundam history to put the storyline in place. Congratulations. Your new subscriber here.
Loved this movie, cannot wait for the rest of the movies to be made.
The best review of the move I've seen so far
Good Work!
Your editing for the endng of this video, the music and the clips you used gave me chills. Great work. Its made me want to check out the prequels to this.
im a gundam fanatic and collector, I also love how they chose the AOT's hiroyuki sawano as the main OST singer 😊 best of both worlds!
I've learned my lesson from the Eva Rebuilds and just gonna wait this one out, because they still haven't even announced when they're planning on releasing the other two.
It stands alone IMHO. I would watch it!
Not going to lie, it leaves you craving more. I wouldn't even consider myself a Gundam fan having only seen the 08th MS Team and this hit some notes for me. Really looking forward to the next entry.
I liked Iron Blooded Orphans it's the very first Gundam series that I watched. IDK why everyone hated it?
The video is nicely edited and very thought provoking.
I owned the Gundam Xi Uniqlo Shirt (the red one) and I'll watch that when the other two movies come either in Cinemas or Netflix
And when you said the Mobile Suits are wrecking havoc and killing civilians and pilots in a crossfire reminds me of 86, instead of giant humanoids, 86 gets spider tanks.
Wow great review !!
Wow that some some spectacular production values on your end as well! I watched this movie as my very first look into Gundam and was totally lost and I thought it was just a bad movie. Then i went Unicorn then 0079 and have kept digging deeper and now rewatching it after learning more about the Universal Century it certainly hits different.
There isn’t a lot of articulate commentary on the Gundam franchise on UA-cam outside the usual “Giant robot cool” or model kit review so this is an absolute breath of fresh air as someone who’s been a fan for uh…more than 2/3rds of my life at this point.
Hathaway is definitely in a league of its own in terms of Gundam movies. I’ve waited for a long time to see if the franchise was capable of something akin to an espionage thriller and it managed to achieve that so effortlessly. The amount of atmosphere, mood, and world building done on the first half of the film pays off so incredibly well on the back half. Really looking forward to see how the rest of the books are adapted.
This video was fantastic, i really loved the movie when i first watched it i need to rewatch soon
I first watched this film on my plane back to my home town. Even on my small phone (Which I'll admit did limit the experience) I felt so giddy watching the film, and it was the most fun I had and investment I had in a movie for a long time. And I didn't even read the book series nor did I watch zeta Gundam. And I barley watched Chars Counterattack on the plane to the vacation spot.
The film had some of the best characters I had in all honesty ever seen in fiction in quite a while. I was so invested in where the story would take them. They felt like real people that I could empathize with, that felt alive to me, and that even I could relate to, to a certain degree. This movie literally reached film level quality of movies like the recent Dennie Villeneuve's D U N E, Top Gun Maverick, and The Batman. all three films that might be viewed through my eyes as some of the best movies ever made in the past five years. A this movie came out before each, and now it retains the spot of being not just the best in the last five years, but one of the best movies I have ever seen.
I can't describe to you how much I love this film. The animation, the story, the characters, the action, the soundtrack. . . . . .Oh MY GOD the soundtrack. Heck, when typing this, I suddenly had the opinion that Martin Scorsese might even be proud of the film if he watched it. I don't know why, but lately I've come to like characters who are incredibly stoic or who have a great deal of trama and regret. Like the latest version of Bruce Wayne, or Macerick, or Paul Attreides And Hathaway is one of them. He is just so interesting in the sense that he just provides so much mystery for me to be invested in. Along with the other characters who I found a deep interest in such as Gigi. I might be a little weirded out by Kenneth slegg though, but he is still likable.
I love the action and the designs of the mobile suits because they feel so real. They don't feel like they can move at the speed of light like the unicorn or vidar, but instead feel like real machines that look like tanks with their bulkyness. Almost like people are piloting giant knights or Giant Samurai. Even then they just feel like monsters at some points, like the battle in the city park. When I first watched that scene my mouth was open the entire time of that sequence. Because I was just in awe and I felt like I was threatened. You can feel the terror and fear in Gigi's screams as amunition is being blown above the two of them, and as the medal of the mobile suits clash together. It honesty left me kinda scared even to me. And this was all on the discomfort of a plane with the air pressure on your ears and in the uncomfortable seat. And yet it was like I was being sucked into another universe, like I was there with every character.
Percs and love to the people who made this masterpiece of a movie. Unfortunately I have grown from loving Gundam to liking and sometimes being downright disappointed in it or even hating it at times. There would be times where I watched it and I just felt as if it was very hypocritical about it's anti war message. It didn't feel like it had the duality that alot of gundam UA-camrs mistakenly say it has with it's characters. Even in the original series I never got the sense that what tomino was trying to tell me was that war was the villain like UA-camrs say that gundam is trying to say. I got the feeling that he was trying to tell me that the zeons we're the "villains" and the Gundam was the "hero". But in reality there are no heros or villains in war. It felt like the series was being biase towards one side. However in war, concluding that one side is evil and the other is good, is a faulty one. It's a mindset that both the Nazis had, and the Americans had towards both sides. The myth that, "If we just defeat the enemy side then we will solve the world's problems" or "If we just end this war, then we will make the world better", was the vibe I was getting. Not the vibe that the show was showing duality between peoples, and showing that War is the true antagonist, not the enemy side. This is what I mean, this UA-camr gives an amazing analysis of what a real anti war story should be ua-cam.com/video/yf0G2MPBEYM/v-deo.html. The only truly anti war Gundam series that I felt was authentic in it's messaging was Gundam 0080 war in the pocket. Which was also an amazing series. It involved good people fighting against other good people, in a conflict that shows that War doesn't just kill people, it tares apart relationships, and ruins the potential that could have been between the love between people. The dynamic between Bernie, Alfred, and Chris is the perfect example.
This film however is still a movie I deeply love, and cherish. It actually had a compelling duality between the two sides. No side is entirely good, or entirely evil. Instead what is truly bad is the war that affects every citizen, the war that scarred Hathaway for life, and the violence that terrified Gigi. It's one the reasons I still watch Gundam from time to time. Thank you so much Tomino. I think this is your best work of fiction yet. And I am glad that it was made into one of the best films ever made in my opinion.
Hiroyuki Sawano for the soundtrack, from Attack on Titan and my favorite Kill La Kill
@@funkthat Yeh I know. He for me, is literally the John Williams or Hans Zimmer of Japan. He's such a good music composer, at least in my opinion.
@@CoreVin975 yea
what a banger video, thank you for giving me goosebumps.
Great video. You did an amazing job describing what happened and the small bits of info that would get lost to people not familiar to the UC timeline. Video production was excellent as well.
Hathaways Flash was essentially the first thing I watched all the way through in the entirety of the Gundam franchise, since it was just a movie. I'm now an avid Gunpla builder and I'm currently going through the original UC era shows. I've finished 0079, Zeta, and have ZZ and Char's Counterattack to still finish and go through but I hadn't realized how much stuff is crammed in this movie that is a callback to them. Definitely looking forward to a rewatch once I get through everything else I need to... I also plan on watching all the side stuff as well in the UC if I can. Finished 0083 and that was really fun too.
This gives me some hope to see an adaptation of "SENTINEL," and it would be amazing if they did it with the same attention to mechanical detail as "0083 Stardust Memory."
I wonder though, since you bring up the relationship of Bright and Hathaway if they're going to use some of the expanded canon of "UC" in the story going forward. It would add more weight to the conclusion of the story considering how the Federation leaders want to finish quelling the Laplace Incident, and the end the career of the Captain of all Gundam pilots.
Sentinel has zero female characters though (ALICE doesn't count.), that's a big no no in Japanese animations.
@@MSZsama Most likely after finishing with hathaway flash they'll go with crossbone, its the most requested gundam adaptation and it goes along the line of sunrise adapting the in-between char's counterattack and victory
First of all... what an AMAZING review talking about Gundam HATHAWAY, the editing it's nuts. And the last 48 seconds gave me literally chills when I heard Möbius playing in the background. It makes me want to see the movie again. This was my first approaching to the franchise and I knew that I had to do some digging about things that I couldn't get clear while watching the movie, but despite that... I was shocked about the bombastic movie I was watching, can 't wait to see the upcoming ones.
Your stuff is inspiring
I was told that Hathaway movie 1 hasn't actually explained how it managed to happen in the mainline CCA timeline. Since the original novel is the sequal yo the Beltorchica's Children novel/manga where Hathaway does not get Possesed by the lingering Simpitude of Katz (like Full frontal was possessed by Char's resentment) and teamkill.
This video is great. Explains how I feel about Gundam in general. No one seems to understand why IBO, TA, and NA were disappointing to me. Felt like I was alone. Glad someone else seems to hold the same opinions as I do as a Gundam fanatic. Great video explaining Hathaway's Flash.
I know this man more than my own family just because of this video
Amazing video, even better narration. 10/10
Thank you for your insight about this movie. Just watched it. This name has stuck in my head for a long time as Chan's murder over Quess. Not that favourite character since then. Until I saw Amuro flashing in his thought at the final part of this movie, I realised I have misunderstanding this whole movie until I saw your videos. That void is filled after some many years (char's counterattack). Finally some follow up on this character's ark. But somehow he is still managed to attract weird complex female character, Quess now Gigi. 😅
Now I am hype for the next movie.
Bright wouldve put the whole earths gravity on that slap if he ever sees hathaway again after this shit lmao
Damn this video is really good, the editing is insane
that last edit is amazing, keep up the good work man
Nah, I dont watch a lot of gundam and lose interest midway through most seasons, new and old. This is the first gundam I thoroughly enjoyed. And I didnt even know any of the nuanced references you pointed out. As someone who knew nothing of Hathaway I was really impressed with the dialogue and pacing. The storytelling really surprises you on what is essentially a "reveal" for those not in the know where I was only suspect of what he was. It really stands on its own and may have actually got me to invest some time in the mainline story.
I've watched Char's counter attack. SEED saga. Thunderbolt. I love how this one goes. It's an art. Even though it was written 30 years ago, a little adoption still makes it so great....Gundam is about to stop the war, not to start one.
15:33 I see what you did there...
It’s also mu favorite Gundam movie, one of my favorite movies ever. When Inhave nothing to watch on Netflix I watch Hathaway and become very emo all over again.
universal century is back on the menu boys
What a great video for such a great movie. I feel absolutely contemplated.
It's been worth the wait.
Well, time to watch Hathaway's Flash again
This movie is insanely good even outside it’s qualities as a gundam movie it’s a great film.
NGL I go back to watch clips of Hathaway's flash and end up watching it again. I think I've rewatched it like 6 or 7 times
Another thing that I feel like gets glossed over a lot is that, not only are you running in terror from the giant death machines, you're running in terror from what could become a nuclear bomb if hit in the reactor.
