      I'd argue his greatest mistake was first assassinating Zeon Zum Daikun. Then second biggest is just Gihren in general, then third Kcylia in general. Fourth being not immediately setting up the GOAT Dozzle with some good advisors and giving him more power.

    My only major issue with the OYW time period is that it last one year. You can cram most of this stuff into one year but man it really should have been at least two. You and Kakarot197 are doing good work explaining the deeper bits when it comes to Gundam.

      To be honest when I first saw the UC series, I thought the war actually lasted far longer than a year, given the heavy influence of World War II on Gundam, I thought it lasted at least seven years, or a decade at most.

      At some point Sunrise needs to just stop creating new oyw add-ons and calling it canon. They’re way passed the point of it being believable. No way both sides developed this many MS variations in less than a year.

    I think the Lala Sune arc was pretty much the culmination of the thematic through-line of Mobile Suit Gundam and what Newtypes are to the narrative.
    When Amuro starts fighting, he doesn’t see people. He just sees a big one-eyed ogre that’s killed billions of people and threatening what family he has left. But that starts to change after Garma dies. His fiancée stepping out and pointing a gun at him before falling to her death has him openly saying “what the hell was that?” Then he experiences Rumba Ral’s suicide, the death of his crush Matilda, his combat buddy Ryu, and one of the multiple White Base fighter pilots. He has a normal person’s experience with loss, he has an acute understanding that there are human beings inside the suits he’s carving up, but as Amuro’s Newtype abilities start becoming more active in space, it’s Dozle’s sheer malevolent determination that is his first contact. It’s one sided, and Amuro doesn’t know really what he’s seeing and why, but for the first time since California Amuro is deeply shocked by the personal vendetta the enemy feels for him.
    And then he goes and kills Lala Sune.
    The big realization clicks once he realizes what he’s experiencing in this connection between two Newtypes as one of them transcends the mortal coil. The connection between two enemies… and how they are ultimately wasting human life through the act of war. Amuro breaking down crying that he’s done something unforgivable is the message of Mobile Suit Gundam in a single scene. His whole “hero’s journey” is realizing on a metaphysical level that he’s not actually doing good. He’s killing people who may not have to die, and facing people being forced to fight a cause they don’t believe in, or are so broken by trauma they see no way out beyond a violent catharsis.
    The sequels will have their own “opinions” on that message, but that’s the anti-war narrative Gundam crafts which resonated with fans for decades. Great video, loving the series.

  • @TysonRex37
    @TysonRex37 Před 23 dny +1

    I’ll definitely say, Alma being a Mary Sue for defeating two gundams with a custom Kampfer rings a bit hollow to me. Yeah, mobile suit performance is important, but. You don’t hear that about Char standing up to the Granddaddy in a Zaku or Ramba Ral nearly defeating it in a Gouf. Near the end of the war, Zeon mobile suits were definitely catching up with the Gundam, so Alma defeating two Gundams while at the same time Amuro is eating through Gelgoogs is just like… Yeah. They’re protagonists. We’re following them because they’re highly skilled pilots.
    You can definitely tell stories about Average Joes, and those are super fun. But for Alma especially, she’s a video game protagonist. Extreme combat competence is the norm.

    I want a Witch Hunter story so I can play as Lilith and see the war through both her and Barry's eyes. I don't care if Code Fairy is a zeek game, but I think that a Witch Hunter entry would be a way to have a secondary narrator to the story of Code Fairy.

He only said he can understand where people are coming from if they do think she’s a Mary Sue, but he does go on to explain why she should be able to what she does.

      @@KillerOrca she isn't that great of a pilot considered Lilith bang her up twice before Alma finally beaten her but spare her. She also has nervous breakdown and relinquished her leadership to her teammates which turns out are pretty decent pilot in their respective mobile suit, she was given back the captain rank as her commander wanted her to lead again, plus we can play Titania MS. She is really experience in her ms combat, ain't a plucky little kid got into a Gundam. She started off piloting a basic beach Zaku II to begin with. She surrendered and was a prisoner of war, play almost no part after the war along with her sister buddies. They also received no recognition for their effort after the war. They're just talented soldiers fighting awful pilots with tendency to be psychopaths.
      If you play the game and watch the cutscenes, she nearly lost her fight with White Rider, just that Remy is an asshole and wanted to trigger White Rider's reactor to cause an explosion, because he thinks is funny to see Alma die screaming. White Rider fight back and drag Remy's GMs off the cliff, saving Alma indirectly.
      I mean, we play as Alma and her team to peg Earth Federation MS, can't be Mary Sue if Hard Difficulty is incredibly BS to play for me anyway.

    1:15:45 if I remember right this is what screwed over Japan in the long run during WWII. They sent out their pilots constantly not cycling them out to train new ones which the Americans did. This along with the fact that the Zero fighter was a death trap (very little armor and didn't even have parachutes) led to them getting stomped in the long run especially when later American fighters began to outperform them.

    Awesome video. Really gives you the scale of the OYW, despite the inconsistencies of some events here and there especially with the California Base. This is the reason why I adore the OYW portion of the UC Timeline.
    Anyways, will you cover the Plot to Assassin Ghiren manga in a separate video if ever ? It's also a OYW story taking place in Side 3 Munzo but it's more about what's happening within Zeon command rather than the war itself. If you do, I look forward to it. If you don't, then we're cool. Still, thank you for your efforts and to your editor who I'm also subscribed to.
