I'm not sure this is necessarily revelatory of crowd-fundedness. I'm not really thinking of any particular example but I feel like "the first area of the game is the game at large in miniature" is a common thing in videogames. It is design that serves to teach the player the game's conventions.

Άλλωστε ετυμολογικά την ονομασία τους την έχει δώσει ο αρχαίος Έλληνας ποιητής, ο Ιωάννης Χαϊκός.

you should be proud to have a userbase that's aggressively hostile towards bigotry, not ashamed of it

"Heroes" are also just people and prone to mistakes and failures like anyone else. Social and political movements have failed because they attached themselves to the charisma of a single leader and lost the ability to maintain ideological coherence. If your friends can't parse this then idk.

He's missing from a lot of the show and by the end his motivations are (for what I assume were production reasons) unclear and confused. And I think he doesn't succeed in any of his military action on-screen? So he's sustained entirely on aura which hits more if you're fresh.

Yeah, most of the anger over Kirk's death was performative. Probably the most deep impact of the cultural victory reactionaries are currently enjoying is that they've made empathy feel naïve and cruelty feel intelligent. No-one's really gonna care for any shooting victim these days.

SM isn't my favourite Gundam show but god damn if it isn't one of the prettiest ones.

That's true, but their camaraderie existed in the context of a military struggle. Could Amuro get along with any of the White Base crew in a civilian capacity? Fraw Bow is the only one we see and she is at least understanding. Good food for thought.

I do think 0079 ends in a melancholy tone. Amuro has his found family, but episode 13 still echoes. Amuro has a home, but only as a soldier. He cannot escape war, and Zeta and CCA confirm this. The fact that he gets goaded back into soldiery in Zeta is, imo, tragic.

Sayla from Mobile Suit Gundam with an air of serious determination, looking through the Gundam's aiming optics, saying "Here he comes!"

I honestly just assumed Newtypes were referencing Star Wars already. Amuro shooting down Lalah's funnels is basically the same as the scene where Luke trains with deflecting the training drone's blasts.

doesn't his weaponisation of heterosexuality make him the perfect villain in any gay reading of gundam though?

I imagine what the people complaining are reaching for is that the tech gets mistaken *for* art direction. "Make it look better" translating into higher resolution textures and effects instead of art direction.

As much as I want to say Team Cherry did nothing wrong this is still a world where Silksong was a backer reward for supporters of the original Hollow Knight kickstarter that morphed from a planned DLC into a full game. So there's responsibility towards those backers at least.

it gives a sense of connection to the person if they place themselves in the audience of the memes rather than as makers. we're both laughing at the same thing and so on.

I think OPs should give a sense of the emotional arc of a show and show all the major characters but try to avoid scenes that happen during the show. Think Zeta Gundam's second OP (though it neglects to show Haman Karn).
