Fact of the matter is, fighting wars with giant robots that look like toys is stupid to begin with, as are many other things in the franchise.

That’s the franchise's main premise you’re criticizing. People are already well aware of that and accept it (and those who don't should already left the franchise the moment they see it). That’s why we criticize something that is stupid way beyond that premise. For example: we don’t criticize Batman for dressing up like a giant bat with that long cape which in reality will make him trip so often before he can kick some thugs’ asses. But when you see Batman being able to survive Darkseid’s direct punch without any good reason, we call bullshit on that because the stupidity-level has gone way beyond our suspension of disbelief compared to “a guy dresses up as a giant bat beating criminals to a pulp”. The same thing also applies between “fighting with giant robots” and “Dark History”.

For the second point, I think this is why they wrote the "things are not as depicted" thing in the grey level MG Turn X manual, because it means they can cover discrepancies in series like countries and you know other stuff like how fossil fuels are still there. Basically, Sunrise is literally handwaving these differences off. Know how "nanomachines" are used as a joke due to Metal Gear Solid's deus ex machina explanation for why stuff happens? Dark History of Gundam is doing the same thing. Well that and "historical disrepencies" apparently.

I'm still can't believe that Tomino is actually making a new Gundam show. I mean the guy run out of fucks to give in 1986. Reconguista project is probably just something he started to keep him from boredom and then Sunrise was like, "You mind if we call this Gundam?" |
