the victorious Zeon forces went into the defenseless Side 5 and took their sweet time blowing up all the colonies one by one with nuclear warheads. Maybe for target practice? I dunno, that seems absolutely psychotic even for Zeon. On the other hand taking Char pretty much saying Zeon would destroy ...

And deny it all you want guys, but evil people generally don't let others who try to kill them go not once, but including this episode, several times . I don't even see any anger over his crush shooting him in the back. So yeah, kudos to Ward for not being the true killer drama queens like Simmons ...

Is it really anymore silly than investing resources to fix the Val Varo? Zeon believes in might over numbers - always has. And they always lose. They go for flashy uber weapons that probably eat up large amounts of resources they don't have a lot of and then get their asses handed to them the first...

sure must suck being the Zeon remnants' accountant, though "um sir about these numbers--" "WE WILL BUILD ANOTHER MONSTROUS MOBILE ARMOR" "well yes about that--" "IT WILL BE MADE WITH APSALUS PARTS" "sir the shipping costs alone--" "ALSO ADZAM&q...

Funny how it has the Earth Federation seemingly slipping back into their MSG morally grey area, while Neo Zeon is going back to the Principality of Zeon's being lead by conniving bastards situation.

But they'd haver to pull something from waaaaaaay left field to have Watd suddenly becoming a leader of Hydra. You mean like the fact that he was lasted seen with a dead ringer for the possible MCU version Madam HYDRA. Besides how much would the heads of HYDRA know about Ward slightly screwing Whit...

I'm hoping the explanation for the apparent conflict between the two SHIELDs is a good one. Plus how do we know Ward is with the other SHIELD, he could just be taking over HYDRA, the episode is called Love in the Time of HYDRA after all so I figure they probably are involved in the episode in some c...

The irony of Reconguista is that everyone ends up fighting to go back to Earth on their own terms because in their ideals they see a common humanity as a part of their identity, and the thought of drifting, changing, and decaying away from Earth is unbearable (as stated and demonstrated very clearl...

but I'd guess we won't be seeing much of them again this season as this was probably done to clear the stage for whatever this group of superhumans are that took Raina. That would be the Inhumans. Which is interesting becuase it means Agents of Shield gets to play with them years before their movie...

Zeon Zum Deikun (I should try to be current. ;P) is the man who steps up and says there is a purpose to the enforced communal construction of the enclosed Island III cylinders, and then the enforced communal life inside the same. (A Side 2 colonist could try living outside the big cylinders or conv...

The real problem with the whole "space as a harsh unforgiving environment" thing is that life in a Island 3 isn't all that different from life on Earth. Indeed, that's the whole point of an Island 3. Sure, various disasters and unpredictable acts of God might lead to a quick and messy dea...

Maybe they did that to stop the Whitebase from being a boat full of children. . I can understand the thing about Bright. Considering Yas gave the White Base more crew this time around, including a wardroom with multiple junior officers, Bright had to be bumped up in age and in rank to take command ...

Not just the Zabis too. Mirai got bumped up a few years (she was 15 around the events of UC 71), and there was a reference to Bright's being 25 years old by the time Side 7 occurs. Maybe they did that to stop the Whitebase from being a boat full of children. Wow Gundam really is the Japanese equivi...

Maybe we will have to wait a bit longer for an actual animated remake of Mobile Suit Gundam. Do we even need a remake? No. If you can't get over the animation quality, leave. Besides, continuity is already shot in the foot. Wow Gundam really is the Japanese equivialnt of Star Trek becuase its fundy...

Brave Fencer Kirby wrote:(Well, except for the part where they murdered him and usurped control of Side 3. I'm pretty sure Deikun wouldn't have supported that.)

I though it was ambiguous on whether Deikun was murdered or not. It probably doesn't help that the the guy who insists he was murdered also is a bit of a nut.

for much the same reason that remake-happy Hollywood wouldn't redo the original Star Wars trilogy (too much of a pop culture institution). Actually I have no doubt whatsoever ever that someone will in fact at some point decide to remake the original Star Wars films and the studio will in fact not g...

Hey, a new Earth Federation warship type.

HellCat wrote:(and to be fair, AGE at least had Kio's enemies highlight he was short changing legitimate grievances)

Though on the Vega side their major grievances were committed by people who were long since dead when the war started.

Agreed. Since I had the thought that Townsanga was a Moon Colony before this but instead it is a Colony Cluster that is in the darkside of the moon. So not Moon Race but maybe a new Zeon perhaps. So basically all those guys saying how if Zeon ran the show everything would be better are completely w...

, but I could have totally seen an "Athrun's Counterattack" scenario for the future of C.E. (They did say they wanted the SEED Movie to be remembered in that caliber early on before it was cancelled, as I recall from, I believe, GUNOTA Headlines.) Well if they went that way hopefully Athr...
