I've seen G Gundam and I remember a lot of that stuff. Pretty much the only Gundam I ever watched. I was really young though, like so young I didn't know about any Spanish speaking country other than Mexico.Seriously, for people whinging about stereotyping look up G-Gundam.
The Chinese pilot is a Shaolin monk with a Gundam that has dragon heads for arms and has the braid thing
The French has a Gundam with a Napoleon hat on it that uses a rapier and these flying roses that shoot lasers
The American Gundam is a boxer that wears a single bar NFL helmet
The Russian Gundam pilot is a prisoner whose machine has a Cossack hat that is overly strong, doesn't talk much, and uses a literal fucking ball and chain for his main weapon
The Japanese one uses a fucking sword and these crazy martial arts attacks
The Mexican one though is BY FAR the worst offender. Pilot is basically a refuge from the space colonies and his Gundam is called... wait for it. TEQUILA GUNDAM that wears a FUCKING SOMBRERO that shoots machine guns....
You want to talk stereotypes... look at Japanese fucking shows/cartoons and they give NO FUCKS.
@Kaliph of Kush I can't remember if you or someone else have also seen this show but whoever it was (maybe @Falsedawn ?) the fucking stereotypes in that show are hilarious.
Shining Fingers was a really iconic finishing move. I thought all the Gundam series were like that after watching G Gundam but then i learned they have a bunch of boring realpolitik shit.
They're containment threads, not really meant to be super readable. If we didn't have them the front page would be flooded with redundant content. I think its the lesser evil but I understand the frustration because sometimes there are legit discussions around one of those topics that gets drowned out with all the merges.I have to agree with this. @Lead @Kaliph of Kush any way you guys can decrease the amount of merged threads? I get it when two threads are made on the same topic in fairly rapid succession, but these “Megathreads” are just terrible and confusing.
