I suppose shooting grunts flying in straight lines or grunts floating idle does help to make these days gundam heroes look godly....
If only these grunt pilots did actually took a training session in controlling MS's we might actually see some performance from them than the typical spamming material....
But im guessing thats todays fashion in gundam lately  |
It's really always been sort of like that. The main difference is that in the older UC TV shows, there were far less large-scale battles (perhaps a budgetary concern), so the creators made the mobile suit pilots fire less accurately. Note that, in space (and in the air to a lesser degree), there's no such thing as being motionless. Concepts like "straight lines" are sort of meaningless as well.
I'd love it if they really made a Gundam show where the "hero" pilots are toned down, and line pilots are shown to be more competent, but this is as unlikely as a realistic Gundam show.

And they still ended making no impact. Not a whole lot has changed in this sense.

I really don't like the super-Gundam style of combat choreography, but the line units have always existed to make the heroes look good. There's no real way to avoid this when the central conceit of the entire franchise is that the outcome of major wars hinge on the actions of a few individuals.

Why? And why does the reason that a mobile suit is given the super-Gundam treatment important?

It'd be great if we saw more of this in Gundam 00.
