Alita was pretty good. I hope this will be at the same level. Finger crossed.

GN0010 Nosferatu · 2019-03-07, 21:50

So what do you think this movie will be, an adoption of a precious story? Or a brand new one?

B214 · 2019-03-10, 01:54

Most likely a new story.

Laevatein · 2019-03-10, 14:54

I have a feeling it will be another redone 0079.

Hype deflated, the trailer will make or break this

I heard Brian K. Vaughan is very politically correct kind of writer if it's true I can't imagine story about Space Nazi fighting bigoted Imperialists and (bunch of people caucht in between) right.

I don't know, Sunrise has doubled down on all things UC.

Narrative
Hathaway's Flash
Unicorn 2 (whatever the hell that's supposed to be)

It would make sense to push the original Gundam series in a huge multi-million dollar movie in America.

That is the thing, Original UC, the feddie barely were better than Zion with their corruption and negligence(even Revil was bordeline facist with his speeches too), a writer like him unless keep that grey vs black will try to whitewash a side..that will not be nice.

I mean, if the movie turns out to be AU then it's his story & vision to tell. It's not like this is the first time Gundam story being black & white in it's war portrayal. Most of the TITANS are scums in Zeta except for a handful of people (retroactive materials notwithstanding). The same can also be said for the A-Laws, White Fang, the Devil Gundam and most of the Gjallarhorn.

I can't help but wonder what definition of the term "politically correct" is being used here. If anything I've found the "both sides are just as bad as each other" narrative to be an annoyingly "politically correct" tendency in Japanese science fiction. Sometimes taking a clear stance on a subject is considered "controversial".

Obelisk ze Tormentor · 2019-03-17, 16:44

I assume they are talking about the US version of political-correctness.

I personally have no problem as long as the writing is good. Or at least good enough for me to have a good time watching the movie instead of taking me out of it.

That's the thing about Gundam really: even within UC, there's enough AU going around that the Hollywood version wouldn't really be anything different than what the Japanese have already been doing (see For the Barrel for the extreme version

).

G-saviour 2.0

Unless I find out this is some surprised hit, I'm going to pretend this hollywood movie doesn't exist. Thats the best course for my own sanity.

Honestly if they redid G-Saviour as a anime it wouldn't have been a bad anime movie, it's just the live action and over reliance on early (bad even by then standards) made it bad.

You missed "CGI" there methinks

Though yeah, G-Saviour wasn't the best in terms of production values, going so far as to reuse Starship Troopers props

Netflix Teases Live-Action Gundam Film in New Concept Art

Obelisk ze Tormentor · 2021-11-09, 07:52

I'm still hoping that this movie will be AU instead of UC coz I don't think they have all the resources to pull off UC (so far).

Insisting on adapting UC is an unnecessary risk-taking. I hope they don't shoot themselves in the foot by making the wrong decision.

Well, looks like it's definitely going to be UC-inspired one way or another if the Gundam resembles the RX-78 so much.

B214 · 2021-11-09, 18:52

I wonder if there will be someone shouting Gundam.
