"Suicide by cop" was not how I expected _anybody_ to describe Char's insanity in CCA. I didn't know I _needed_ somebody to describe it that way until now.
It literally is, and it's a revelation I came to recently. Char seems different than his earlier interpretations, on purpose, because he's a shell of a man by that point. Literally took huge L's repeatedly. Decided to basically sell his soul and kill the planet as a final act, or die trying.
AEUG is primarily consisted of ex-EFSF personnels like Bright Noa. Even Char got in using a false identity of ex-EFSF officer. The Sleeves are the remnant of Char's Neo Zeon. Kabala is AEUG's ally pn earth. AEUG is funded by Anaheim while Kabala is funded by Lou & co. Surviving AEUG members joined Londo Bell.
Credits where credits due, they are the first and only Zeon that didnt resort to good ol' "throw shit on Earth" tactic. Even Mars Zeon couldnt kick off the old habit.
@@andrewowens4421 watcha think of Mafty instead assassinating corrupt officials and accepting a bit of collateral damage as the cost of doing business?
I agree with this video but my problem with the Sleeves and Zeon were so fanatical that mass genocide always slips in to them because of those early Zabi beliefs. This is why I liked Mineva because her way of doing things is like the middle road between sleeves and aeug
The problem with the Side Co Prosperity sphere was it being based on Imperial Japan's Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere. That idea failed due to ethoncentrism by Japan and treating the other Asian countries as colonies of their own to siphon resources along with crushing any nationalistic independence movement they inspired.
I think comparing the Sleeves to the AEUG is a bit like comparing apples to oranges. About the only commonality they share is they are the primary antagonist to the Federation because both factions have vastly different ideals. The AEUG was more a response to the oppressive Titians and once they where dissolved they merged with the Federation for better or for worse. While Sleeves is a remnant group of a remnant group that stems from ideology of Spacenoid independence and to a certain degree spacenoid supremacy.
They maybe alike with AEUG in terms of goals but their plan of actions are more akin to Titans Their terrorists attacks on unicorn showed how far they would go especially on using some of the zeon remnants on the attack resulting to large civilian deaths Their plan would always fail considering the co prosperity sphere would undoubtedly include side 3 which is being ruled by someone who wants zeon to rise again. Also some of the sides hates side 3 considering their past actions. The sleeves may have stated they want peace but all their actions and end goals would lead to war I also think that the members are just looking for an excuse for a fight to fulfill some desire to die on a battlefield or just fight for the sake of it Thus sleeves are nothing more than bunch of terrorist with misguided beliefs *plays Titan theme music*
This, by god this. The only way that any Gundam!Sol across the various Gundam timelines is going to NOT have that cycle of violence is to have someone come in from OUTSIDE the situation and then crush them and crush them HARD. Then go full ideological scrubbing that makes what happened to Japan and Germany look significant. Strip them of their industrial might completely (even taking the basic industry!) and force them to dependent on the conqueror to survive. If they won't stop fighting? Well then, start obliterating cities until either of two endings happen: a) they surrender or b) you run out of cities to obliterate. Practically every Gundam show is well into the Hobbes end of the spectrum of 'how good is humanity'.
I think comparing the Titians to the sleeves is about as nonsensical as comparing the sleeves to the AEUG. Most if not all of the civilian deaths where a result of collateral damage while engaged with Federation forces. Again people like to blame sleeves for the battle at side 7 but dont ever blame Londo Bell for blowing a hole in the side of colony and engaging the Sleeve mobile suits.
@@nemisous83 Londo Bell had decayed rapidly in the years between Char's Counterattack and Unicorn, and even worse after that until Londo Bell was all but disbanded after the war with Cosmo Babylonia. Hell between the time of the F91 movie and manga series and Victory, Londo Bell had been disbanded and the Federation was all but dead. No wonder the Federation died an inglorious death before the events of Savior (even though it has been effectively retconned out of existence).
@@TheTrueAdept I mean it was bound to happen, Commodore Blex was the only person in the AEUG save for Char that shared in the ideology of moving humanity into space. Most AEUG members where comprised of businessmen, disgraced or disenfranchised Federation officers, and a few former Zeon pilots. so naturally once the dust settled and the Titians where gone the ex Federation fellows would want to merge with the Federation and the Zeon would merge with Neon Zeon. Thats why Londo Bell essentially became a more tamed version of the titans... with less mass murder.
I agree. The whole Starve the Earth wouldn't work because too many people in space make money of off shipping or making that food. 2nd: the sleeves are the bare bones remnants of Zeon. They have almost nothing left in terms of a military force and so the federation would simply use that to exterminate them. 3rd: the feds have the Group's colony laser.
If Bright, and also Amuro and Karaba, hadn’t continued utilizing child soldiers, and wouldn’t have morphed the AEUG into the Titans with a smiling face (Londo Bell - watch CCA, Amuro talks about how Londo Bell’s purpose is to keep colonies disarmed and enslaved to the earth elite,) Char would have never tried to crash Axis into earth.
You very briefly talked about Hathaway’s Flash in this video, but I think that something like this could be touched upon in the upcoming film adaptation (s) for that. Mufti already kinda sorta resembles A.E.U.G (though they are much more overtly terrorist-like), but even in the original novel, their main Mobile Suits are the Messers, the souped-up Geara Dogas, which are a bit strange, since they don’t specifically call themselves Zeon, but I could see something being said there about how several Sleeves people went to Mufti after that thing stopped, or maybe even having the Republic of Zeon helping out Mufti from the shadows, strengthening the AEUG comparisons (though I guess the Karaba equivalent would be the main branch in that situation?)
In-depth character discussions would be nice. A video about Char would obviously be the best first choice considering his layered motivations and relationships with other characters.
Good video. While at first the Unicorn was with in reason, the Neo Zeong and green frame Unicorn was a bit over the top. Neo Zeong is a microcosmic of why Zeon never wins, put too much time and resources into super weapons that don't change the game. I would love to see you do more videos on the Universal Century as there is a lot to explore. Like side stories, what ifs, and the over all way things ended up and why. Keep up the good work.
This is really fun to watch and listen to. It's been a while since I had time to analyze and study the different faction in UC Gundam and the politics behind a lot of critical moments in the series. Good job! ✌
But... operation Stardust was not genocide. The plan "was" to destroy Jaburo but in the end it turns out that Gato wanted to force Earth to cooperate with spacenoids by dropping the colony on the last big food supply on Earth. Which succeeded. However this had the opposite effect, forcing the Federation's hand in allowing the titans to do as they want in order to gather basic necessities like food production in space. And I personally like the Laplace's box for one huge reason: It explains the federation's almost cartoonish attitude in some of the earlier timeline's stories like idk... completely denying autonomy of any kind for spacenoids for decades & later attempting to undersell the newtype myth (despite researching it themselves in 0079 & 0087). Like you said in Zeta, "they were terrified of Newtypes", almost unreasonably so, putting war heroes like Amuro in house arrest to let the myth die.
What I want to say is; the box didn't come from nowhere. It was the inception of an idea Fukui seems to have in order to explain past "weird motives" within the federation and to pave the way for the complete cluelessnes amongst space's population in regards to Newtypes in the late UC timeline. And for the story, it's a fun McGuffin that helps add some nuance to not only the way the Federation has been behaving (later on in CCA just begging Char on their knees not to start more wars after selling Axis) but also gives hints to the intricacies in the behind the scenes politics of Earth and space. It also managed to explain how a company like Anaheim was created, kept prospering during times with no war and their deep ties to the federation.
the contents of the box doesnt work on authoritarian regimes. only Judau understood Deikun's philosophy and arrived to the ultimate conclusion to get out of the solar system.
Random cosmos Zeon remnant officer: so boss what are we going to do today. Cosmos Zeon remnant supreme commander: the same thing we do every day try to trow something really big at the earth. Cosmos Zeon officer 🙎🙍🤦
I still think someone needs to make a mod for Empire at War to bring you Earth in Star Wars to life. I want to see Thrawn helping earth and commanding a fleet of gundams
The reason I started unicorn was because I love the unicorn gundam itself (also because it was the only other gundam show I found on Netflix except IBO)
The sleeves would undoubtedly win a war with the federation should one occur, if full frontal had managed to take hold of the box. The neo zeong was capable of single handedly destroying the federation, because it was perfectly capable of destroying the unicorns, given how we know the psycho shard generator to work. After that it would have been relatively simple to just completely wipe out the federation. After all, they've got 2 neo zeongs, the shamblo, etc. All it would take is for full frontal to not have held back and he would have undoubtedly destroyed the federation.
The Neo Zeong is just one mobile armor. It cannot operate indefinitely without resupply. All it would take is 2 ambushes or lucky shots with Gryps 2 or a beam magnum to destroy them. And then there's the question of holding territory- the sleeves simply don't have enough people to occupy Earth.
Maybe you could make videos of UC side stories. Go into the Titans or the blue destiny story and the EXAM system. Or cover some events in Hathaway's flash.
That's why people say Full Frontal has the soul of Char because, like Char in CCA, he believes that humanity would not change, unlike Amuro who believes that Humanity would move on from their mistakes.
But Char was correct since the Federation didn't change and further wars continued - cosmo Babylonia, jupiter empire, and bespa zanscare, Gaia gear, g savior and up to turn a. How many heroes did it have ti take? But the problem is that most people live their loves without seeing what goes on unlike us the audience who can see and learn the lesson. We see the struggles but they don't. Still, char was right. Amuro wasn't. This isn't gundam iron blooded orphans, gundam wing, or witch from mercury.
In those other gundam shows, change does happen and for thr better. The aeug wanted to change the government of earth not destroy it but the Laplace conflict and subsequent negligence shows the govt is weak and the hegemony need to be removed. And none of the earth majority does anything in numbers as a whole to overpower the hegemony for anyone's sake. Only the ruthless terrorists like zeon, cosmo, Jupiter, and bespa can actually achieve that had it not been for the white base crew, aeug, London bell, Captain layaly, crossbones vanguard, and leage militare.
i think we can discuss how Crossbond vanguard was formed, now that with the end of sleeves it pretty much pave the way for the new spacenoid political party
Ever thought about an in depth plot analysis of all the gundam series. I'll never be able to watch some of them so knowing the gist of what a series is about when you talk about it like this would be helpful.
I always liked how the Sleeves goal wasn’t something crazy like total dominion/destruction of Earth but something realistic like what you described. Banagher may have said they have no heart, but theirs was a brand of realpolitik otherwise lacking in Gundam.
@@ericj6636 yes and no, the fed became inept and fell I to decline, but there was no total leave of earth, by turn As backstory the colonies "left" and earth had a complete cycle of decline , mass destruction and rebirth
Char to me will always be Zeon. I look at Zeon as one political party and the Federation was another. Since the Titans basically became the Federation I look at the AEUG as an independent party who had remnants of Zeon and the Federation who were fed up with their perspective groups. Char joined AEUG do to his ideals but once he gave the speech I always believed he would have reformed Zeon regardless of the outcome of the end of Zeta or not. Full Frontal was waay more maniacal and it was proven in the end. the Sleeves were just a Neo-Neo Zeon faction. I just cant see them as the new AEUG
AEUG-We must cripple the hold the federation has and move humanity to space for the sake of the Earth, and our future Neo Zeon-We must destroy the Federation and the Earth! Those left on the rock will be an example! Sleeves-*hits blunts* fuck the Earf Federation an....fuckit forget the Earf we doin this space thing bruh.
Here is some thing I would like to hear your thoughts on. :) How well do you think the Common Mobile Suit from the Gundam Series would Do in star wars. I'm imagining them like WW2 SeaBees or Armed merchants Or militia/Minutemen. Since they can help out in the economic sector or Construction/repair/Salvage or any other thing a Human form or a droid/Vehicle can do. And take up arms if they are under threat or in danger of attack or harm.
There is no super robot nonsense in Unicorn and if you refer to the final battle then I understand why you said it. Though Gundam was focused on realism in its execution the main goal was actually thematic realism. Sure we have militaristic machines, but in the end it was a the thematic landscape which presented the realistic message. I guess the best thing that represents that final battle in Unicorn and what newtypes ultimately are, was a poster for the 30th aniversary depicting the RX-78-2 Gundam holding a baby Amuro, while in space. If you could't tell, this is a 2001 a Space Odysee referance of the 'Starchild', which is also enforced by the fact that Mineva wanted to change the name from newtype to starchild. And this is what essentially speaks about the more etherial parts Gundam. These are heavilly inspired by the works ofArthur C. Clarke which focus on the evolution of humanity beyond what we are able to comprehend, whith technology being the primary means of doing this.
Vladimir Mihnea If u r a fan of Arthur C. Clark & Gundam is heavily inspired by some of his work, I recommend u read his book entitled "Childhood's End", when the Overlords came 2 Earth 2 help humanity by ending war, poverty, sickness & suffering so that in return humankind could migrate into the cosmos beyond by spiritually & subconsciously leaving Earth. There was a live adaption TV mini-series that was on SyFy one time.
@@JetAway Because being a Newtype means you start existing in the conceptual 4th dimension of time itself. I mean even Lalah back in the movies, at least, spoke of how she could see 'time'. So if you take it to it's logical extent, a fully realized Newtype could start seeing the future and the past just as well as they could see the present, which would then explain their precognition and ability to see people's lives and feelings.
I would disagree that Frontal himself is spiteful. He sees himself as vessal. To this extent he plays to the spiteful feelings of the spacenoids but he doesn't really care about the destruction of the earth but instead the benefits of those in space vs Char who beleives in the crazy ideas of Deikum who thinks that humanity must vacate Earth which is (in hindsight) false.
Well you could make videos about the comic your planning. Nothing that would spoil the story but fluff stuff like the aliens that are in the setting, the tech, or that new type Jedi thing you mentioned. So you can build up the world, and see if there things that might be missing.
When you started explaining the core beliefs of the Sleeves and the AEUG in regards to how they see the Earth Federation it reminded me of the motivations of the most prominent characters from the anime Code Geass which takes place in an alternate time line where the war of independence, or Washington’s rebellion as its call in universe, failed miserably because key influential figures in said rebellion where convinced to betray Washington or stay loyal to England. Washington was captured and executed for treason agents the crow. Years later during the Napoleonic wars The UK with out much in the way of allies, since their’s no good old US of A, gets their asses handed to them on a silver plater. The remnants flee to the colonies, aka America, and rebuild into The Holy Britannian Empire. The main protagonist, Lelouch has a some what similar belief as the sleeves when it came to his fathers empire, The Holy Britannian Empire which controlled 1/3 of the world in season 1 and over half the globe in season 2 one year later in the time line, that it was a cesspool of everything wrong with humanity and the head of state along with the traditional Imperialist, racist and arrogant society needed to be replaced with a much more kinder and gentler ruler and culture that would return the nationalities and national identities of all the countries and their citizens of what they now designate as Areas 1 to 13 along with people who are refried to as Numbers that they’ve brutality conquered over the past few hundred years. He planned to destroy brittania by starting a rebellion in Area 11/Japan which once successful would spread to all the other Area/occupied countries leading to the destabilization of the Britannian Empire thus giving him the chance to kill his father the Emperor and put his pacifist little sister Nunnally, on the throne to rebuild Brittania into a more peaceful place. Thou it was fore shadowed in the first season that he never intended to live long enough to see her reign as Empress since he planned to atone of all the atrocities he would commit along the way with his own life. Where in his oldest childhood friend, Suzaku, the son of the former Japanese prime minister, joins the Britannian armed forces as a second class citizen in the hopes that if he works his way up the way through ranks of the military he could change the system from the inside out in the hopes of making life better for his people in the long run by showing them that if they conform to the system they could have make a better life for them, their friends and families. I know it’s not the same as the Sleeves and the AEUG per say, but I thought it was something worth bringing up.
Ok so I’ve only just started Zeta Gundam and my most complete understanding of Gundam comes from the After Colony time line but I’m going to disagree with you at this point because of three things, the connotations a name like Coprosperity sphere has in Japan and America’s shared history, Micott Bartsch’s actions after the Sleeves and the Nahel Argama alliance begins to fall apart, and the actions of the crew of the Garencieres once the EF personnel start shooting and the Zeon personnel. The name Slide Coprosperity Sphere is a Direct allusion to the Greater East Asian Coprosperity Sphere which was Japan’s excuse for imperialistic conquests during world war two now World War II is a complicated subject for Japan however they have formally apologize for many of the atrocities that were committed in the name of that coprosperity sphere, so we can assume that even if we don’t know the film crews views on World War II that they are using that to reference an imperialistic ambition, Especially when you take into account Micott’s actions, she is a child of the space colonies one of the people the Sleeves’ claim to be fitting for however she is one of the ringleaders of the crews revolt against the Sleeves, I think this is meant to show that the only way the sleeves could maintain their potential control the slides is at the end of a gun barrel, As many in the colonies will never join them of their own free well, and last but not least Garencieres crew when The alliance broke down instead of rushing to help the other sleeves they guarded their own mobile suits and then sided with the Federation crew rather than the other sleeves and were willing to engage in combat against their former allies to buy Banagher and Minerva time to get to The Box, it’s my believe they did this because they had realized what was really going on that most of the Sleeves including themselves to some extent weren’t doing this for The noble goals that they had signed up for but just to stick it to the Earth Federation one last time.
I wish Full Frontal won. I think Mineva was wrong about the results. I think the Side Co Prosperity Sphere could've forced the Federation to the table and gotten concessions or created real change
What is funny is that the current D&D game I am running through has our small band of zeon troops basically becoming the sleeves/AEUG during the OYW. I wonder how well it's going to go since WB crew are all dead apart from Ryu (ironic) and amuro. We are about to start Odessa and char is currently captured, but dozle has the Gundam. If anyone has advice as to how to go about ending the war. (So no meta gaming since our chars are basically deikun followers). Amuro is on our side at the moment but we don't really know where to go from here. So guys, any advice?
video ideas people/i want cool videos that show the things that influenced gundam and things that gundam influenced like star wars and everything i am new to your channel of course this kind of content is great your interpretations and ideas about the series ive never seen zeta gundam but this makes me want to watch it maybe like series recaps? ive never seen most of the series. rating each series would be cool and the ovas what does ova even stand for videogames? ive never played any of them do some kit reviews. im building the rg sazabi im sure whatever you decide to do will be great
Alright I'm fairly new to gundam and I'm starting to realize 1 thing. I need more third parties in uc. The Earth Federation is just full of assholes. Chemical warfare, child soldiers, and well arguably all the shit shown in origin. Zeon? Way too many colony drops! Seriously stop it. It's like if America just didn't stop using atom bombs and decided to solve all their problems that way. It just makes things worse. Like isn't there a party that doesn't advocate being an asshole while at the same time doesn't encourage colony drops?
Hey BOOFIRE, here's ideas centered around one theme: ▪True Diversity (of thoughts) in space: how Sci-Fi writers usually purposely ignore the possible future of a very very divided humanity (hundreds of factions, basically our Nations, in space). And what it tells about them and their views and desires for the furure. ▪Actually rich alien species (same topic, diversity of thought, applied to the case of alien species depiction in Sci-Fi). ▪Same topic, applied to fantasy races. Why diversity of thought in a society isn't anymore considered mainstream, thoughtful and rich, while even Tolkien actually cared to outline it among Men, Elves, Dwarves and Maiar. ▪Same topic at large in writing: why diversity of thought (ie true diversity) seems to generate either fear or laziness in writers minds. ▪ Bonus one: how video games seem to convey far more this very topic (ex: EVE Online, Elite Dangerous, etc).
what do you think the Jupiter factions did during all this time? I mean Crossbone Vanguard, Jupiter Empire and Zanscare Empire. we can see the Jupiter Empire supplying the Titans in Zeta but what about Axis and the Sleeves?
Ahhhh calm down about the mcguffin bit. Not all guffins are bad for a plot. Laplace Box, aka, the UC Constitution, fits well with the story and fits well within the middle of a established setting. It's not like the new Star Wars movie that depended on a mcguffin dagger to be magically lined up with a destroyed ship. Edit: And I just noticed this video was made two years ago. Well.... That's all folks! *Dances off the stage*
Hence why the only real solution to most Gundam timelines (outside of X and (mostly) Post Season 2 00, others are a very tentative maybe) is basically annihilate any and all military capacity of any Gundam!Sol, strip them of pretty much everything in terms of industrial capacity, make them reliant on your goods to survive, and be willing to annihilate entire cities and keep doing so until they either surrender or there are no cities left to annihilate. Total war taken to it's logical and frightening conclusion. Basically Battletech's first two succession wars (which are so destructive that they almost caused humanity to collectively be reduced to a 19TH CENTURY techbase) but confined to an entire solar system. Most of the Gundam Timelines are basically 'Hobbes and Locke are absolutely right, no exceptions' at a scale more than a few dozen people.
How about you do a video on why the One Year War started in MSG. Like a side by side break down of both the EF and Zeon thought process and reasoning for their actions that lead to the One Year War.
The problem with (and the reason Zeon is basically evil) is because no matter how justified they feel about wanting humanity to live together in peace, they also feel that to attain that peace- any and all horrible murderous actions to attain it are justified. The ends NEVER justify the means when it comes to killing millions.
unfortunately in this universe, only through force can brought change with how much the Federation wants to keep the status quo. Not even the miracles of newtypes brought about anything.
@@DaSpineLessFish No, he has history backing him up, as people generally like the status quo until it actually starts hurting them where it actually hurts (wallets and family).
The comparisons one can make between Iron Blooded Orphans and Warhammer 40,000, as strange as that sounds, would be an amazing idea. Calamity War = Age of Strife, Both were caused by AI Rebellions, and their aftermath saw technology and the acceptance of it decrease as a cultural result, not to mention the apocalyptic nature of the conflicts (Australia seems to have been blasted with an another colony drop, if one takes the time to notice). Said Cultural Shift sees the resurgence of truly archaic and ancient ideals and practices (Knighthood, Nobility and Slavery) for good or ill. Alaya-Vijnana System = Mind Impulse Unit of Knights and Titans, a Gundam having a similar standing and effective power to a Knight or Titan within the setting's context. Buried and lost Gundams and terrifying Mobile Armor = Archeotech and the likely sleeping/lurking dangers of the Age of Strife. The Hashmal is THE example I would point to for how/why the Imperium of Warhammer is rather leary of researching or uncovering Dark Age of Technology Archeotech; in words of Nubby from The All Gaurdsmen Party "I dunno, if dis Scientific Progress stuff is actually goin aroun' bitin' people, dey might 'ave a point..." on why the Adeptus Mechanicus is so zealous and paranoid about technological innovation. (From: The "Stealth" Mission: "Observation") I could probably go on, but I really want to see the "official" video that goes into that with picture aids. :]
The moment that mearly 2 billion people become an economic blackhole for sól system is a moment when space people should cut them of. I can agree on that
If only the neo zeong was more like the zeong/Neue Ziel but with post z gundam/ char's counterattack MS tech and weapons. Instead of a literal giant waste of limited resources just think of all those Geara doga/zulu Mobile Suits that could have been upgraded to basically be gundams in terms of performance. If only every iteration of zeon didn't let the dear leader waste resorses remember the Big Zam well every Zeon MS pilot in the One Year War remembers that Dozle Zabi wanted a Big Toy instead of a well armed military.
There one hole in your theory, the Sleeves r divided, bcoz Mineva tries 2 keep the Box away from the Sleeves that look up 2 her as a sovereign princess, while Full Frontal (a clone of Char) on the other hand, would stop @ nothing 2 obtain it. Thinking that LaPlace's Box would be the final nail in the coffin of the Earth Federation. Mineva doesn't want a war nor repeat the sins of her family who usurped Zeon Deikum & challenge the Earth Federation 2 a war a decade later only 2 lose, while Syam wants 2 give away the Box in the hopes that humanity doesn't stay stuck 2 the Earth 4ever till the sun devours it.
I know a lot of people don't really like the character of Full Frontal as many consider him just a lame attempt at bringing back Char's character whilst also not really bringing him back. I personally love Full Frontal's character, even if he is a clone, he is the more cold and calculated version of Char. He still gave me the same feeling of intimidation that Char gave off every time he entered a room or the battlefield. I just really wish they hadn't gotten rid of his character so quickly. I feel like the Gundam franchise could've done so much more with him.
I have so many questions on Gundam the mechs how they work and what it would take to make a one world government where it’s not communist or hard fascist where people are free but sadly I’m out of time I hope your still here in three months boofire this just gets me thinking about the hope of humanity’s future
More like the Third Coming. As much as you declare Char a monster he's ironically the reason both times that Neo Zeon has more AEUG style goals in mind. Heck, it wouldn't be surprising that it was thanks to Char's machinations that AEUG had these goals to begin with. So to reiterate, what is the uniting factor in AEUG, post-Gryps Neo Zeon and the Sleeves? The answer is one person, Char. He was a key member in AEUG, leader of Neo Zeon and his clone headed the Sleeves. Every time he was present the said organization's primary goals remained the same. Only the way they approached changed. I accidentally danced around this for a while so let's not delay it any further, how the Neo Zeon in Char's Counterattack is the second coming of AEUG? Well, their key goals are the same. Char wants humans to leave the Earth and let the planet heal. His approach is questionable yet ironically also more realistic than what the Sleeves wanted. He plans to make Earth unlivable at the present while the method to achieve this should not leave a permanent scar on the planet. Hence his biological weapon idea. It's a horrible, horrible plan. One that even semi-complete had already cost millions of lives. Yet in essence it was the same as what the AEUG wanted. tl;dr Second Neo Zeon was also the second coming of the AEUG. Sleeves are actually the third.
Gundam in star wars ? UC gundam of course, other universe just literally spam beam so...not that great.... Imagine gundams like zeta plus, EX-S, F91, gun-ez, jegan, GM-III, full armor gundam (thunderbolt ver), Nemo, victory gundam, etc ( I know I just mostly pick gundams that are closest to be militaristic, but...agh...you know). I would like to see that in star wars, especially from clone wars onward, I bet the empire will pick the EX-S or Deep striker for their fleet since....big....
I was gonna make an angry comment, but I 100% agree... Tho I still do not see Unicorn as a proper gundam follow up since it can be ignored, just something Bandai tries to shove down our throats...
>True Zeon has never been tried
My fucking sides are no longer weighed down by gravity
"Suicide by cop" was not how I expected _anybody_ to describe Char's insanity in CCA. I didn't know I _needed_ somebody to describe it that way until now.
It literally is, and it's a revelation I came to recently.
Char seems different than his earlier interpretations, on purpose, because he's a shell of a man by that point.
Literally took huge L's repeatedly. Decided to basically sell his soul and kill the planet as a final act, or die trying.
AEUG is primarily consisted of ex-EFSF personnels like Bright Noa. Even Char got in using a false identity of ex-EFSF officer. The Sleeves are the remnant of Char's Neo Zeon. Kabala is AEUG's ally pn earth. AEUG is funded by Anaheim while Kabala is funded by Lou & co. Surviving AEUG members joined Londo Bell.
Credits where credits due, they are the first and only Zeon that didnt resort to good ol' "throw shit on Earth" tactic. Even Mars Zeon couldnt kick off the old habit.

Hello and just let me say...
*"IT'S A GUNDAM!!!"*
Is that a Zaku?
This is no Zaku, boy. No Zaku.
ITS A ZETA WITH A ZAKU HEAD?!
I agree with this video but my problem with the Sleeves and Zeon were so fanatical that mass genocide always slips in to them because of those early Zabi beliefs. This is why I liked Mineva because her way of doing things is like the middle road between sleeves and aeug
The problem with the Side Co Prosperity sphere was it being based on Imperial Japan's Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere. That idea failed due to ethoncentrism by Japan and treating the other Asian countries as colonies of their own to siphon resources along with crushing any nationalistic independence movement they inspired.
I think comparing the Sleeves to the AEUG is a bit like comparing apples to oranges. About the only commonality they share is they are the primary antagonist to the Federation because both factions have vastly different ideals. The AEUG was more a response to the oppressive Titians and once they where dissolved they merged with the Federation for better or for worse. While Sleeves is a remnant group of a remnant group that stems from ideology of Spacenoid independence and to a certain degree spacenoid supremacy.
They maybe alike with AEUG in terms of goals but their plan of actions are more akin to Titans
Their terrorists attacks on unicorn showed how far they would go especially on using some of the zeon remnants on the attack resulting to large civilian deaths
Their plan would always fail considering the co prosperity sphere would undoubtedly include side 3 which is being ruled by someone who wants zeon to rise again. Also some of the sides hates side 3 considering their past actions.
The sleeves may have stated they want peace but all their actions and end goals would lead to war
I also think that the members are just looking for an excuse for a fight to fulfill some desire to die on a battlefield or just fight for the sake of it
Thus sleeves are nothing more than bunch of terrorist with misguided beliefs

The only way that any Gundam!Sol across the various Gundam timelines is going to NOT have that cycle of violence is to have someone come in from OUTSIDE the situation and then crush them and crush them HARD. Then go full ideological scrubbing that makes what happened to Japan and Germany look significant. Strip them of their industrial might completely (even taking the basic industry!) and force them to dependent on the conqueror to survive.
If they won't stop fighting? Well then, start obliterating cities until either of two endings happen: a) they surrender or b) you run out of cities to obliterate.
Practically every Gundam show is well into the Hobbes end of the spectrum of 'how good is humanity'.
I think comparing the Titians to the sleeves is about as nonsensical as comparing the sleeves to the AEUG. Most if not all of the civilian deaths where a result of collateral damage while engaged with Federation forces. Again people like to blame sleeves for the battle at side 7 but dont ever blame Londo Bell for blowing a hole in the side of colony and engaging the Sleeve mobile suits.
@@nemisous83 Londo Bell had decayed rapidly in the years between Char's Counterattack and Unicorn, and even worse after that until Londo Bell was all but disbanded after the war with Cosmo Babylonia. Hell between the time of the F91 movie and manga series and Victory, Londo Bell had been disbanded and the Federation was all but dead. No wonder the Federation died an inglorious death before the events of Savior (even though it has been effectively retconned out of existence).
@@TheTrueAdept I mean it was bound to happen, Commodore Blex was the only person in the AEUG save for Char that shared in the ideology of moving humanity into space. Most AEUG members where comprised of businessmen, disgraced or disenfranchised Federation officers, and a few former Zeon pilots. so naturally once the dust settled and the Titians where gone the ex Federation fellows would want to merge with the Federation and the Zeon would merge with Neon Zeon. Thats why Londo Bell essentially became a more tamed version of the titans... with less mass murder.
I agree. The whole Starve the Earth wouldn't work because too many people in space make money of off shipping or making that food. 2nd: the sleeves are the bare bones remnants of Zeon. They have almost nothing left in terms of a military force and so the federation would simply use that to exterminate them. 3rd: the feds have the Group's colony laser.
If Bright, and also Amuro and Karaba, hadn’t continued utilizing child soldiers, and wouldn’t have morphed the AEUG into the Titans with a smiling face (Londo Bell - watch CCA, Amuro talks about how Londo Bell’s purpose is to keep colonies disarmed and enslaved to the earth elite,) Char would have never tried to crash Axis into earth.
You very briefly talked about Hathaway’s Flash in this video, but I think that something like this could be touched upon in the upcoming film adaptation (s) for that. Mufti already kinda sorta resembles A.E.U.G (though they are much more overtly terrorist-like), but even in the original novel, their main Mobile Suits are the Messers, the souped-up Geara Dogas, which are a bit strange, since they don’t specifically call themselves Zeon, but I could see something being said there about how several Sleeves people went to Mufti after that thing stopped, or maybe even having the Republic of Zeon helping out Mufti from the shadows, strengthening the AEUG comparisons (though I guess the Karaba equivalent would be the main branch in that situation?)
In-depth character discussions would be nice. A video about Char would obviously be the best first choice considering his layered motivations and relationships with other characters.
He might as well compare his two memory clones: Afranche Char( a proper clone) and Full Frontal.
@@barrybend7189 Or some of Char's spiritual successors, like Rau Le Creuset and Harry Ord.
@@SpaceCase1214 rau suffers from twirlly mustache syndrome of villain trope and should not be counted.
@@barrybend7189 But I want to see what makes him tick. Plus better him than trying to figure out whatever the frak Zechs was trying to do.
The Sleeves wanted to pull a Holodomor on the entire Earth.
Yeah, yeah, true Zeon has never been tried.
I definitely appreciate the perspective that you bring forth in the video definitely can see the likeness between the AEUG and The Sleeves.
Good video. While at first the Unicorn was with in reason, the Neo Zeong and green frame Unicorn was a bit over the top. Neo Zeong is a microcosmic of why Zeon never wins, put too much time and resources into super weapons that don't change the game. I would love to see you do more videos on the Universal Century as there is a lot to explore. Like side stories, what ifs, and the over all way things ended up and why. Keep up the good work.
Yeager Bomb dude, they mirror nazis,(there’s a clear parallel) have you heard of their over engineered tanks versus mass Soviet produced tanks?
I really love gundam and really happy to see you talk about this.
Nice 😄
This is really fun to watch and listen to. It's been a while since I had time to analyze and study the different faction in UC Gundam and the politics behind a lot of critical moments in the series. Good job! ✌
Where has this channel been all my life. I NEED MORE GUNDAM LORE AND KAKAROT 197 DOES NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH
But... operation Stardust was not genocide. The plan "was" to destroy Jaburo but in the end it turns out that Gato wanted to force Earth to cooperate with spacenoids by dropping the colony on the last big food supply on Earth. Which succeeded.
However this had the opposite effect, forcing the Federation's hand in allowing the titans to do as they want in order to gather basic necessities like food production in space.
And I personally like the Laplace's box for one huge reason: It explains the federation's almost cartoonish attitude in some of the earlier timeline's stories like idk... completely denying autonomy of any kind for spacenoids for decades & later attempting to undersell the newtype myth (despite researching it themselves in 0079 & 0087). Like you said in Zeta, "they were terrified of Newtypes", almost unreasonably so, putting war heroes like Amuro in house arrest to let the myth die.
What I want to say is; the box didn't come from nowhere. It was the inception of an idea Fukui seems to have in order to explain past "weird motives" within the federation and to pave the way for the complete cluelessnes amongst space's population in regards to Newtypes in the late UC timeline. And for the story, it's a fun McGuffin that helps add some nuance to not only the way the Federation has been behaving (later on in CCA just begging Char on their knees not to start more wars after selling Axis) but also gives hints to the intricacies in the behind the scenes politics of Earth and space.
It also managed to explain how a company like Anaheim was created, kept prospering during times with no war and their deep ties to the federation.
..... Zeon and Side 6 were independent completely
the contents of the box doesnt work on authoritarian regimes. only Judau understood Deikun's philosophy and arrived to the ultimate conclusion to get out of the solar system.
Random cosmos Zeon remnant officer: so boss what are we going to do today.
Cosmos Zeon remnant supreme commander: the same thing we do every day try to trow something really big at the earth.
Cosmos Zeon officer 🙎🙍🤦
Really good video. Love Zeta/Unicorn so this is a fun theory. I'd never seen the Sleeves this way but makes sense.
I would have never tried to drop an asteroid if those filthy Zabis didn't kill my father. Also, Lalah could have been a mother to me.
And in the end, char's plan finally came to be since the dark history made humanity leave earth
I still think someone needs to make a mod for Empire at War to bring you Earth in Star Wars to life. I want to see Thrawn helping earth and commanding a fleet of gundams
Agree!
This has to be a thing now
Gundam legacy look it up but it is seed not uc
@@Mr_D_The_1st What does legacy have to do with what I said?
Tenno Shenaniganizer gundam legacy is a mod for empire at war
Boofire since Star Wars is lame as can be now, it would be awesome to start making these type of informative vids about Gundam.
To me, Legends is Star Wars.
Waiting for Earth in Star Wars comics!
@@BOOFIRE191 got it, sorry to disturb you
The reason I started unicorn was because I love the unicorn gundam itself (also because it was the only other gundam show I found on Netflix except IBO)
Keep this series of videos, please! They are amazing :)
The sleeves would undoubtedly win a war with the federation should one occur, if full frontal had managed to take hold of the box. The neo zeong was capable of single handedly destroying the federation, because it was perfectly capable of destroying the unicorns, given how we know the psycho shard generator to work. After that it would have been relatively simple to just completely wipe out the federation. After all, they've got 2 neo zeongs, the shamblo, etc. All it would take is for full frontal to not have held back and he would have undoubtedly destroyed the federation.
The Neo Zeong is just one mobile armor. It cannot operate indefinitely without resupply. All it would take is 2 ambushes or lucky shots with Gryps 2 or a beam magnum to destroy them. And then there's the question of holding territory- the sleeves simply don't have enough people to occupy Earth.
Friend: "Gundam is all about robot fighting each other"
Me: *slap a political analysis video of gundam UC"
Friend: "What the f-"
Maybe you could make videos of UC side stories. Go into the Titans or the blue destiny story and the EXAM system. Or cover some events in Hathaway's flash.
That's why people say Full Frontal has the soul of Char because, like Char in CCA, he believes that humanity would not change, unlike Amuro who believes that Humanity would move on from their mistakes.
But Char was correct since the Federation didn't change and further wars continued - cosmo Babylonia, jupiter empire, and bespa zanscare, Gaia gear, g savior and up to turn a. How many heroes did it have ti take? But the problem is that most people live their loves without seeing what goes on unlike us the audience who can see and learn the lesson. We see the struggles but they don't. Still, char was right. Amuro wasn't. This isn't gundam iron blooded orphans, gundam wing, or witch from mercury.
In those other gundam shows, change does happen and for thr better. The aeug wanted to change the government of earth not destroy it but the Laplace conflict and subsequent negligence shows the govt is weak and the hegemony need to be removed. And none of the earth majority does anything in numbers as a whole to overpower the hegemony for anyone's sake. Only the ruthless terrorists like zeon, cosmo, Jupiter, and bespa can actually achieve that had it not been for the white base crew, aeug, London bell, Captain layaly, crossbones vanguard, and leage militare.
i think we can discuss how Crossbond vanguard was formed, now that with the end of sleeves it pretty much pave the way for the new spacenoid political party
Loving the gundam videos! Keep up the good work!
Yes, more Gundam content would be nice.
Can’t wait for Noble Dark. Keep up the good work.
Ever thought about an in depth plot analysis of all the gundam series. I'll never be able to watch some of them so knowing the gist of what a series is about when you talk about it like this would be helpful.
I always liked how the Sleeves goal wasn’t something crazy like total dominion/destruction of Earth but something realistic like what you described. Banagher may have said they have no heart, but theirs was a brand of realpolitik otherwise lacking in Gundam.
By the time you get to the latter Gundam series didn't Full Frontals plan happen organically anyways?
They're still a terrorist. That's why i like how Minerva handle things a lot
@@ericj6636 yes and no, the fed became inept and fell I to decline, but there was no total leave of earth, by turn As backstory the colonies "left" and earth had a complete cycle of decline , mass destruction and rebirth
Love all the old suits used by the remnant forces.
Char to me will always be Zeon. I look at Zeon as one political party and the Federation was another. Since the Titans basically became the Federation I look at the AEUG as an independent party who had remnants of Zeon and the Federation who were fed up with their perspective groups. Char joined AEUG do to his ideals but once he gave the speech I always believed he would have reformed Zeon regardless of the outcome of the end of Zeta or not. Full Frontal was waay more maniacal and it was proven in the end. the Sleeves were just a Neo-Neo Zeon faction. I just cant see them as the new AEUG
AEUG-We must cripple the hold the federation has and move humanity to space for the sake of the Earth, and our future
Neo Zeon-We must destroy the Federation and the Earth! Those left on the rock will be an example!
Sleeves-*hits blunts* fuck the Earf Federation an....fuckit forget the Earf we doin this space thing bruh.
Try to fit as many Mobile suites from several gundam series into 1 clear continuity.
This looks really cool. Thanks for letting me know about this. It looks amazing.
CHAR??? There wasn't Char in Gundam Zeta, there was only a blonde man called Quattro Bajeena
Do not trust Quattro, he is a Char.
@@OmbraEterea Only to leave again at the end of Zeta.
Here is some thing I would like to hear your thoughts on. :) How well do you think the Common Mobile Suit from the Gundam Series would Do in star wars.
I'm imagining them like WW2 SeaBees or Armed merchants Or militia/Minutemen. Since they can help out in the economic sector or Construction/repair/Salvage or any other thing a Human form or a droid/Vehicle can do. And take up arms if they are under threat or in danger of attack or harm.
There is no super robot nonsense in Unicorn and if you refer to the final battle then I understand why you said it. Though Gundam was focused on realism in its execution the main goal was actually thematic realism. Sure we have militaristic machines, but in the end it was a the thematic landscape which presented the realistic message. I guess the best thing that represents that final battle in Unicorn and what newtypes ultimately are, was a poster for the 30th aniversary depicting the RX-78-2 Gundam holding a baby Amuro, while in space. If you could't tell, this is a 2001 a Space Odysee referance of the 'Starchild', which is also enforced by the fact that Mineva wanted to change the name from newtype to starchild. And this is what essentially speaks about the more etherial parts Gundam. These are heavilly inspired by the works ofArthur C. Clarke which focus on the evolution of humanity beyond what we are able to comprehend, whith technology being the primary means of doing this.
Vladimir Mihnea If u r a fan of Arthur C. Clark & Gundam is heavily inspired by some of his work, I recommend u read his book entitled "Childhood's End", when the Overlords came 2 Earth 2 help humanity by ending war, poverty, sickness & suffering so that in return humankind could migrate into the cosmos beyond by spiritually & subconsciously leaving Earth. There was a live adaption TV mini-series that was on SyFy one time.
I was good with the newtype stuff but why did they have to include time travel
@@JetAway Because being a Newtype means you start existing in the conceptual 4th dimension of time itself. I mean even Lalah back in the movies, at least, spoke of how she could see 'time'.
So if you take it to it's logical extent, a fully realized Newtype could start seeing the future and the past just as well as they could see the present, which would then explain their precognition and ability to see people's lives and feelings.
@@JetAway the time travel stuff isn't literal. Banagher and ff are standing still the whole time just tripping out
5:23 the neo Zeon princess actually pointed that out in the show.
I would disagree that Frontal himself is spiteful. He sees himself as vessal. To this extent he plays to the spiteful feelings of the spacenoids but he doesn't really care about the destruction of the earth but instead the benefits of those in space vs Char who beleives in the crazy ideas of Deikum who thinks that humanity must vacate Earth which is (in hindsight) false.
Well you could make videos about the comic your planning. Nothing that would spoil the story but fluff stuff like the aliens that are in the setting, the tech, or that new type Jedi thing you mentioned. So you can build up the world, and see if there things that might be missing.
When you started explaining the core beliefs of the Sleeves and the AEUG in regards to how they see the Earth Federation it reminded me of the motivations of the most prominent characters from the anime Code Geass which takes place in an alternate time line where the war of independence, or Washington’s rebellion as its call in universe, failed miserably because key influential figures in said rebellion where convinced to betray Washington or stay loyal to England. Washington was captured and executed for treason agents the crow. Years later during the Napoleonic wars The UK with out much in the way of allies, since their’s no good old US of A, gets their asses handed to them on a silver plater. The remnants flee to the colonies, aka America, and rebuild into The Holy Britannian Empire.
The main protagonist, Lelouch has a some what similar belief as the sleeves when it came to his fathers empire, The Holy Britannian Empire which controlled 1/3 of the world in season 1 and over half the globe in season 2 one year later in the time line, that it was a cesspool of everything wrong with humanity and the head of state along with the traditional Imperialist, racist and arrogant society needed to be replaced with a much more kinder and gentler ruler and culture that would return the nationalities and national identities of all the countries and their citizens of what they now designate as Areas 1 to 13 along with people who are refried to as Numbers that they’ve brutality conquered over the past few hundred years.
He planned to destroy brittania by starting a rebellion in Area 11/Japan which once successful would spread to all the other Area/occupied countries leading to the destabilization of the Britannian Empire thus giving him the chance to kill his father the Emperor and put his pacifist little sister Nunnally, on the throne to rebuild Brittania into a more peaceful place. Thou it was fore shadowed in the first season that he never intended to live long enough to see her reign as Empress since he planned to atone of all the atrocities he would commit along the way with his own life.
Where in his oldest childhood friend, Suzaku, the son of the former Japanese prime minister, joins the Britannian armed forces as a second class citizen in the hopes that if he works his way up the way through ranks of the military he could change the system from the inside out in the hopes of making life better for his people in the long run by showing them that if they conform to the system they could have make a better life for them, their friends and families.
I know it’s not the same as the Sleeves and the AEUG per say, but I thought it was something worth bringing up.
I love how the Operation British colony landed on Australia.
I love that even though it wasn't the original target.
Make more videos about gundam,talk about the uc timeline,compare tecnology and mobile suits to others such as 00 or wing,talk about the one year war
Don't you forget that there's AEUG Radicals Remnants group in Gundam F90FF manga Vol 5
ZEON DROPPED A CONOLY ON DUBLIN?
Imouto Hunter how dare they
Yeah, what super robot wars doesn't want to tell you is in a lot of cases villain's and hero's would be working together.
Ok so I’ve only just started Zeta Gundam and my most complete understanding of Gundam comes from the After Colony time line but I’m going to disagree with you at this point because of three things, the connotations a name like Coprosperity sphere has in Japan and America’s shared history, Micott Bartsch’s actions after the Sleeves and the Nahel Argama alliance begins to fall apart, and the actions of the crew of the Garencieres once the EF personnel start shooting and the Zeon personnel. The name Slide Coprosperity Sphere is a Direct allusion to the Greater East Asian Coprosperity Sphere which was Japan’s excuse for imperialistic conquests during world war two now World War II is a complicated subject for Japan however they have formally apologize for many of the atrocities that were committed in the name of that coprosperity sphere, so we can assume that even if we don’t know the film crews views on World War II that they are using that to reference an imperialistic ambition, Especially when you take into account Micott’s actions, she is a child of the space colonies one of the people the Sleeves’ claim to be fitting for however she is one of the ringleaders of the crews revolt against the Sleeves, I think this is meant to show that the only way the sleeves could maintain their potential control the slides is at the end of a gun barrel, As many in the colonies will never join them of their own free well, and last but not least Garencieres crew when The alliance broke down instead of rushing to help the other sleeves they guarded their own mobile suits and then sided with the Federation crew rather than the other sleeves and were willing to engage in combat against their former allies to buy Banagher and Minerva time to get to The Box, it’s my believe they did this because they had realized what was really going on that most of the Sleeves including themselves to some extent weren’t doing this for The noble goals that they had signed up for but just to stick it to the Earth Federation one last time.
I wish Full Frontal won.
I think Mineva was wrong about the results. I think the Side Co Prosperity Sphere could've forced the Federation to the table and gotten concessions or created real change
I always knew Gundam always has a little super robot in it except for rx78 Gundam 08s team and war in the pocket
More Gundam content would be appreciated.
I like the sleeve's. I mean that Zaku copy looks so good and "groovy".
I always liked the sleeves plan
I will never understand why Mineva just killed the Side Co-Prosperity sphere.
Even though I like her as a person, I would say that she has a sense of being idealistic. No wonder none of her efforts amounted to nothing.
Okay, Topic Stupid Alien Races a video of each race.
What is funny is that the current D&D game I am running through has our small band of zeon troops basically becoming the sleeves/AEUG during the OYW. I wonder how well it's going to go since WB crew are all dead apart from Ryu (ironic) and amuro. We are about to start Odessa and char is currently captured, but dozle has the Gundam. If anyone has advice as to how to go about ending the war. (So no meta gaming since our chars are basically deikun followers). Amuro is on our side at the moment but we don't really know where to go from here. So guys, any advice?
English Kriegsman what game is this ?
I watched Gundam Narrative last February, & the villain Zoltan is a psycho maniac.

like star wars
and everything
i am new to your channel of course
this kind of content is great
your interpretations and ideas about the series
ive never seen zeta gundam but this makes me want to watch it
maybe like series recaps? ive never seen most of the series. rating each series would be cool
and the ovas
what does ova even stand for
videogames? ive never played any of them
do some kit reviews. im building the rg sazabi
im sure whatever you decide to do will be great
Not going to lie, but the Gundam thumbnail looked like Predaking from the Transformers franchise
WTF? My memory can't be that bad.
Alright I'm fairly new to gundam and I'm starting to realize 1 thing. I need more third parties in uc. The Earth Federation is just full of assholes. Chemical warfare, child soldiers, and well arguably all the shit shown in origin. Zeon? Way too many colony drops! Seriously stop it. It's like if America just didn't stop using atom bombs and decided to solve all their problems that way. It just makes things worse. Like isn't there a party that doesn't advocate being an asshole while at the same time doesn't encourage colony drops?
Hey BOOFIRE, here's ideas centered around one theme:
▪True Diversity (of thoughts) in space: how Sci-Fi writers usually purposely ignore the possible future of a very very divided humanity (hundreds of factions, basically our Nations, in space). And what it tells about them and their views and desires for the furure.
▪Actually rich alien species (same topic, diversity of thought, applied to the case of alien species depiction in Sci-Fi).
▪Same topic, applied to fantasy races. Why diversity of thought in a society isn't anymore considered mainstream, thoughtful and rich, while even Tolkien actually cared to outline it among Men, Elves, Dwarves and Maiar.
▪Same topic at large in writing: why diversity of thought (ie true diversity) seems to generate either fear or laziness in writers minds.
▪ Bonus one: how video games seem to convey far more this very topic (ex: EVE Online, Elite Dangerous, etc).
what do you think the Jupiter factions did during all this time? I mean Crossbone Vanguard, Jupiter Empire and Zanscare Empire. we can see the Jupiter Empire supplying the Titans in Zeta but what about Axis and the Sleeves?
Skynet in starwars what do you think would happen? also cant wait to hear how your comic idea goes hope it gets picked.
Ahhhh calm down about the mcguffin bit. Not all guffins are bad for a plot. Laplace Box, aka, the UC Constitution, fits well with the story and fits well within the middle of a established setting. It's not like the new Star Wars movie that depended on a mcguffin dagger to be magically lined up with a destroyed ship.
Edit: And I just noticed this video was made two years ago. Well.... That's all folks! *Dances off the stage*
Honestly the war in the UC timeline never changes espeshally if you view like victory gundam.
Hence why the only real solution to most Gundam timelines (outside of X and (mostly) Post Season 2 00, others are a very tentative maybe) is basically annihilate any and all military capacity of any Gundam!Sol, strip them of pretty much everything in terms of industrial capacity, make them reliant on your goods to survive, and be willing to annihilate entire cities and keep doing so until they either surrender or there are no cities left to annihilate. Total war taken to it's logical and frightening conclusion. Basically Battletech's first two succession wars (which are so destructive that they almost caused humanity to collectively be reduced to a 19TH CENTURY techbase) but confined to an entire solar system.
Most of the Gundam Timelines are basically 'Hobbes and Locke are absolutely right, no exceptions' at a scale more than a few dozen people.
My idea: What Happened to Amuro and Karaba after the Gryps Conflict?
You could bo a story were the gundum universe finds its self in 40k.
Terry Newsome that would be disasterous
Terry Newsome Or the Imperium builds a Gundam and fights chaos Titians
Still...the Sleeves deal with absolutes instead of compromise.
I think you should talk about mobile suits of Gundam
How about you do a video on why the One Year War started in MSG. Like a side by side break down of both the EF and Zeon thought process and reasoning for their actions that lead to the One Year War.
That is easy one side want to conquer the world(Zeon) by any means possible. The other side said no
The problem with (and the reason Zeon is basically evil) is because no matter how justified they feel about wanting humanity to live together in peace, they also feel that to attain that peace- any and all horrible murderous actions to attain it are justified. The ends NEVER justify the means when it comes to killing millions.
unfortunately in this universe, only through force can brought change with how much the Federation wants to keep the status quo. Not even the miracles of newtypes brought about anything.
Yeah mostly because Tomino is a fucking hack lmao
@@DaSpineLessFish No, he has history backing him up, as people generally like the status quo until it actually starts hurting them where it actually hurts (wallets and family).
How about a video on what Newtypes are and the symbolism behind them?
1:51
Maybe I'm just dumb and having found it yet but have you made a video on ZZ and your overall thoughts on it ?
The comparisons one can make between Iron Blooded Orphans and Warhammer 40,000, as strange as that sounds, would be an amazing idea.
Calamity War = Age of Strife, Both were caused by AI Rebellions, and their aftermath saw technology and the acceptance of it decrease as a cultural result, not to mention the apocalyptic nature of the conflicts (Australia seems to have been blasted with an another colony drop, if one takes the time to notice). Said Cultural Shift sees the resurgence of truly archaic and ancient ideals and practices (Knighthood, Nobility and Slavery) for good or ill.
Alaya-Vijnana System = Mind Impulse Unit of Knights and Titans, a Gundam having a similar standing and effective power to a Knight or Titan within the setting's context.
Buried and lost Gundams and terrifying Mobile Armor = Archeotech and the likely sleeping/lurking dangers of the Age of Strife. The Hashmal is THE example I would point to for how/why the Imperium of Warhammer is rather leary of researching or uncovering Dark Age of Technology Archeotech; in words of Nubby from The All Gaurdsmen Party "I dunno, if dis Scientific Progress stuff is actually goin aroun' bitin' people, dey might 'ave a point..." on why the Adeptus Mechanicus is so zealous and paranoid about technological innovation. (From: The "Stealth" Mission: "Observation")
I could probably go on, but I really want to see the "official" video that goes into that with picture aids. :]
Great break down
The moment that mearly 2 billion people become an economic blackhole for sól system is a moment when space people should cut them of. I can agree on that
If only the neo zeong was more like the zeong/Neue Ziel but with post z gundam/ char's counterattack MS tech and weapons. Instead of a literal giant waste of limited resources just think of all those Geara doga/zulu Mobile Suits that could have been upgraded to basically be gundams in terms of performance. If only every iteration of zeon didn't let the dear leader waste resorses remember the Big Zam well every Zeon MS pilot in the One Year War remembers that Dozle Zabi wanted a Big Toy instead of a well armed military.
There one hole in your theory, the Sleeves r divided, bcoz Mineva tries 2 keep the Box away from the Sleeves that look up 2 her as a sovereign princess, while Full Frontal (a clone of Char) on the other hand, would stop @ nothing 2 obtain it. Thinking that LaPlace's Box would be the final nail in the coffin of the Earth Federation. Mineva doesn't want a war nor repeat the sins of her family who usurped Zeon Deikum & challenge the Earth Federation 2 a war a decade later only 2 lose, while Syam wants 2 give away the Box in the hopes that humanity doesn't stay stuck 2 the Earth 4ever till the sun devours it.
I know a lot of people don't really like the character of Full Frontal as many consider him just a lame attempt at bringing back Char's character whilst also not really bringing him back. I personally love Full Frontal's character, even if he is a clone, he is the more cold and calculated version of Char. He still gave me the same feeling of intimidation that Char gave off every time he entered a room or the battlefield. I just really wish they hadn't gotten rid of his character so quickly. I feel like the Gundam franchise could've done so much more with him.
What about a video comparing Gundam's military structure to other shows like Star Trek?
I have so many questions on Gundam the mechs how they work and what it would take to make a one world government where it’s not communist or hard fascist where people are free but sadly I’m out of time I hope your still here in three months boofire this just gets me thinking about the hope of humanity’s future
Sounds alot like the contemporary conflict around the EU.
More like the Third Coming.
As much as you declare Char a monster he's ironically the reason both times that Neo Zeon has more AEUG style goals in mind. Heck, it wouldn't be surprising that it was thanks to Char's machinations that AEUG had these goals to begin with.
So to reiterate, what is the uniting factor in AEUG, post-Gryps Neo Zeon and the Sleeves? The answer is one person, Char.
He was a key member in AEUG, leader of Neo Zeon and his clone headed the Sleeves. Every time he was present the said organization's primary goals remained the same. Only the way they approached changed.
I accidentally danced around this for a while so let's not delay it any further, how the Neo Zeon in Char's Counterattack is the second coming of AEUG? Well, their key goals are the same. Char wants humans to leave the Earth and let the planet heal. His approach is questionable yet ironically also more realistic than what the Sleeves wanted. He plans to make Earth unlivable at the present while the method to achieve this should not leave a permanent scar on the planet. Hence his biological weapon idea. It's a horrible, horrible plan. One that even semi-complete had already cost millions of lives. Yet in essence it was the same as what the AEUG wanted.
tl;dr
Second Neo Zeon was also the second coming of the AEUG. Sleeves are actually the third.
Char's war was to force everyone into space...not suicide by cop.
Gundam in star wars ? UC gundam of course, other universe just literally spam beam so...not that great.... Imagine gundams like zeta plus, EX-S, F91, gun-ez, jegan, GM-III, full armor gundam (thunderbolt ver), Nemo, victory gundam, etc ( I know I just mostly pick gundams that are closest to be militaristic, but...agh...you know). I would like to see that in star wars, especially from clone wars onward, I bet the empire will pick the EX-S or Deep striker for their fleet since....big....
I was gonna make an angry comment, but I 100% agree... Tho I still do not see Unicorn as a proper gundam follow up since it can be ignored, just something Bandai tries to shove down our throats...
