    Man, if I had a penny for everytime a Gundam essay forgets to mention the fujoshis that heavily funded the first Gundam fandoms and made a large majority of the audience when the first movie released. I would have too many pennies
    Edit: also btw I fucking love this essay, very well written

      it's tough, right - the franchise is eternally in a cycle of art and merch, always has been
      tis why I choose to embrace the series, and spend the money I don't have 😅

    Estrogen could have saved Char Aznable during Zeta, the longer the hair the more mentally stable Char is.
    Every Gundam Protagonist is powered by their own flavor of Autism and Transness, and unfortunately Char got the 4channer types.
    I'm loving my time with Gundam, loving the ride, and thinking about it rocks.
    I have to be one of the few people that genuinely enjoy Victory Gundam, and for me it's because Tomino just flavored that series with allusions to modern Czech history as well as making the protagonist Czech-by-Technicality.
    Good video.

      this is the most unique comment I've gotten on this video yet and I love it, it's so true
      Still haven't seen Victory, I'll get around to it eventually, and thank you 🙏

    Just a brief note on the char pdf accusations.
    Not once has he ever showed any sexual interest - or romantic for that matter - in a younger character after Lalah, who was again only three years younger. While Char was 20 and she was 17, which I get might seem strange in the US, it’s really not uncommon elsewhere. As for Haman, the lore is pretty loose there but the only actual source we have on their relationship is the non-tomino manga CDA, in which he outright rejects her. As for Quess, that’s clearly just a case of manipulation. By all means, she groomed herself into her position.
    The pdf Char shtick is funny as a meme now and then, but it does get kinda tiring when so many fans keep echoing it as fact
    And yes I realize my pfp doesn’t help my point, I am slightly biased

      fwiw, I had a Quattro PFP on discord for a while lol
      It definitely gets played up as a meme, but I don't think the subtext goes away just because the cultural context outside the US changes - considering I'm from the US, I carry the baggage of what's considered "weird" here. I need to go back and rewatch CCA at some point soon, it's been a couple years, but I don't think Char manipulating Quess makes that dynamic any better - if anything, it might actually make it worse imo

      ​@@legocyd1999 my take has always been that Char was creepy and manipulative towards her, but not romantically/sexually interested, but still used her interest in him to his advantage which is still very bad because the normal and moral thing to do when a teenager is into you as a 30 year old is to reject that and cut contact because you're 30 and should not be encouraging that.

    1:42 It's really funny how much the staff hates episode 15, it's really not that bad. The movie is a lot better though.

    If you're gonna make claims on char being a AHEM then elaborate.
    Gundam fans doing the bare minimum research on a thing like a high-school essay is wild

    video farts on its own message at the end for saying its "ok to like this cool thing". felt like you were afraid to double down on what you were trying to say
