    In the case of F91, what I heard is that Tomino really wanted to keep working on it, but Sunrise/Bandai wanted him to work on Victory Gundam, and because they owned Gundam, not him, he didn't really have a choice. So he tried to make Victory Gundam as dark and depressing as possible in the hopes that it would get canceled, but the fans ended up enjoying it too much.

      Do you think that a lot of parts of Victory Gundam were scrapped ideas from F91? Just wondering, because people want the full story, but it seems to me that it would end up retreading stuff from victory.

    Gundam F91 needed to be a trilogy or at least 2 movies so the story doesnt feel rushed and the character development rushed and underdeveloped. The animation in F91 is freaking amazing.

    Hey cheems! Found you from your video on A New Translation, amazing stuff! Also the WFM has been such a refreshing feel as someone who's been quite used to the franchise, and the Aerial is also one of the most interesting main mobile suit from all that we've seen of it, as well as the very charming Suletta, I think many new fans are exploring the series now from the rise of WFM's popularity worldwide, here's hoping for more gundam content! Cheers cheem!

    I get the feeling they don't want to adapt Crossbone into an anime/OVA because they know they have to remake this lol.
    I think the animation is phenomenal but I never had a Gundam show consistently have me going "WHAT IS GOING ON!?"

    • @thomasffrench36
      @thomasffrench36 2 роки тому +2

      I find them remaking this very unlikely. They aren’t really making UC full series anymore. An OVA seems possible, but I think they would just end up doing Crossbone if they do OVAs. They probably don’t have plans for Crossbone at the moment with Hathaway being the primary focus, but once Hathaway and Witch from Mercury, they will probably start to plan that and Thunderbolt.

    • @CoracaoAcidental98
      @CoracaoAcidental98 Рік тому +1

      Why would they have the obligation of remaking it? They never did this before and a new series is not the strongest of reasons for remake, the movie is still there and most of the important plots to Crossbone are at least understandable.
      They probably don't want to make Crossbone just because they don't see good reasons to make full series in the UC anymore, the original saga ended and F91 and Victory failed to create a new one, so when G Gundam and Wing succeded they thought that is just better to go with this format since it doesn't scare new people away because of continuity and for the people who like the UC they have a more special treatment like OVAs and movies.

    im going through the lore of all the f91 spinoffs and its baffling to me how literally all of them take place either before or after the movie. You would think that a movie that really felt like episodes smashed together would deserve a remake in any form, anime manga or otherwise, but they refuse to do it. Like, did the guy from the f91 game really need his own prequel manga

    Honestly instead of a movie they should have paired down the series as a limited 6 episode OVA. It would of had more time to flesh things out and make an actual ending. F91 and 0083 have the same issues to me, GREAT start that just faded to tedium at the end

  • @thomasffrench36

    I think that for Hathaway the reason he called it unadaptable was that he expected it to be faithful, but adaptation means changing things to make it fit better with a different medium. Like I heard rumors that the second movie will change quite a bit from the books to fit better in the UC canon. It’s just pretty funny that I thought that he considered it unadaptable for medium reasons, but it’s just because of canon, which is just a weird reason to consider it unadaptable.

    • @_GeneralMechanics_
      @_GeneralMechanics_ 2 роки тому +4

      I honestly think it's a good idea to include the events from "UC" into the canon timeline coming into the film adaptation. Considering the ending of the novel, how corrupt and broken the Federation has become, they would use this moment to get their revenge for the "Laplace Incident" against Captain Noa.

    I'm watching Gundam for the first time, in order, and it took awhile for me to like Zeta, but F91 was instant then it hit the 54 minute mark and what the fuck is happening? Blue hair is in a Gundam, then at the bakery, then breaks into the estate, then in a crowd, something happens and his dad gets hurt. Then they're in a gundam in space and his dad dies, then in a sunny field. Im only half way into my egg nog I'm definitely not drunk or barely buzzed, yet watching F91 feels like I'm either wasted or having a fucking stroke with all the jump cuts.
    It sucks because up until the 54 minute mark I was loving it. They need to give it a proper OVA re-release because they were onto something good. Just the fact that its always Fed VS Zeon and the good VS bad sterotype we get what was going to be a series where even though the Crossbones are the bad guys, they care more about human life than the good guys. It was such a great dark twist.

    I really don't like the F91 movie. The first time I saw this, I thought it was a condensed fan made series to movie. So much so, that I remember searching online for the full series. Either way, I don't like the Vanguard suit designs nor do I like the F91 design. However, it the series had lots of potential. I just wish he decided to hold off on it or make it an OVA. Hoping he doesn't get screwed again with the Crossbone OVA.

    Yeah I'm half way through the movie and feeling no attachment to any of the characters, the chaos at the beginning was cool, but honestly very confusing, I was expecting some kind of explanationist diologe... An there isn't, it's definitely something I'm going to have to watch twice to understand, as I watched it, I assumed there was an anime before this an as I am dipping my toes into the gandam fiction with this film, I thought it was just one of those movies that you have to watch the anime first to know what's going on. But that's not the case unfortunately. I'm interested in reading the cross bow manga through. I can see the creators passion in the designs an animation. So I feel the manga will do it justice. Cool video I'll check out the other series an films you mentioned I watched on on Netflix a few months ago.
