So the new Gundam on Netflix is out and I got mixed feelings about it. On one hand, it's great seeing a Gundam from the other side: a terrifying WMD that has a pilot inside who manually kills entire armies. The action sequences look good. The mobile suits move similarly to how they did in 8th. MS Team.

The bad news is the dialog and human faces. Really wooden and uncanny valley for both. But the thing that has everyone pissed off is the Zeon whitewashing. The series takes place during the original One Year War. The war that started when a bunch of space fascists dropped an entire colony out of space onto Earth and killed millions of people before invading the surface. This is only mentioned towards the end of the series when a Federation soldier brings it up. There isn't a single "Sieg Zeon!" You know, the main slogan of the Zeeks that's meant to shove it in your face they're the space fascists and they're the bad guys. They're an analogy for Imperial Japan and Japan's excuses for terrorizing their neighbors.

There's even more bullshit at the end about the Zeon Remnants (who are "The South Will Rise Again!" of Gundam), but I'm rambling. The point I'm getting to is Erasmus Brosdau directed the series. He previously worked on Star Citizen. So yeah, Star Citizen is now shitting up other projects with its techbro fuckwads because they leave as money dries up instead of staying in their containment zone.
