Jamile is the best Captain in Gundam, and I will die on that hill.

>>23760753
No you won't

That hill is every well defended

Ultimately anything good X has ends up being completely irrelevant because the show sucks.

True, all the good ideas they had that stood out from other Gundam shows were pretty much quickly abandoned.
>Gundam x Mad Max
Abandoned after like 6 or 8 episodes, somehow Earth has mostly been unified by the previous Federation within 15 years. What’s the point of a post apocalyptic setting if you aren’t going to explore the world views of the newly emerging civilisations that will mythologise the past while developing new ideas how to organise themselves. The closest we got was that one nation in Asia that harkened back to the past with the title of President but was basically a monarchy.
>Flash system
Most interesting mobile suit idea that makes up for the lack of Newtypes to pilot mobile suits by having one control multiple mobile suits. I honestly thought Jamil and Lucille were foreshadowing for how Garrod and Tiffa would use the Flash system.
>DOME mystery box
Absolute nothing burger. Just another example of a Mecha series doing some metaphysical shizoid rambling and calling it an ending

>>23760747
>ultra-nerfed Amuro with cockpit PTSD and lost his newtype powers
>still fucks up ANYTHING the show can throw at him as an enemy including a cyber newtype in a qubeley

>>23760945
And its still a better written show than the last new gundam shows.

Bwo the message was literally "newtypes are still human and have all the flaws of humans, not the future god race of perfect beings"

I mean, it's just 15 years, not enough time for cultural drift. And the Federation hasn't already unified most of the world, that happens during the show itself, thus the Estado arc. There's also a war and resistance in North America that's just mentioned off-hand in later episodes since it was the arc they removed due to the episode cut.

The chaos from post-war is why you get most of the first half of the show against random groups with mobile suits. What's quickly dropped after the first arc is the Mad Max inspired aesthetics though. The 2nd arc still has some characters in similar outfits, but then you get a mostly thriving city with gardens rather than endless deserts and people living among old buildings and ruins, which goes completely against the aesthetic.

Yeah, I don't know how he got "shizoid rambling" instead. DOME was pretty direct and so simple even my dumb teenage self got it with no problem. Maybe 'watching' it on a second monitor and/or while staring at a phone.
