I was planning to keep quiet but you had to pull me in didn't you? (although its already edited out now)
Gundam can be dead to you or whatever...i personally don't care. I just wish people stop pointing at us and baiting us into flamewars regarding 00 or whatever. The topic is old and dead. So I'll leave it at that.
To be fair Quazecotl did not call anyone names or accuse anyone of being old school or whatever. There wasn't even any form discussion of 00 fanboyism vs UC fanboyism this time round, but more like ppl defending their preference out of instinct.
Although I dun share the same opinion as Quaze that 00 may be better than Geass and Macross, i do think its one of the best
AU series. And being in AU, it means it doesn't reside in the same world as some of UC's worse stories (ZZ, V, F91) which I rather forget. Its just like Macross 7 in Macross universe. Its definately a black mark within the timeline/universe. No fan can deny it but if I made a new Macross in another universe, then we are starting from scratch with no ties to the original material.
For me I view 00 as NOT gundam. I know it has GUNDAM in the title and it has GUNDAMS but i hope ppl realise that GUNDAM is just a BRAND to sell model kits. You guys know its a AU yet still want to compare with previous Gundams and why it sux compared to old shows. Just treat it as a different show man. I wanna see more constructive criticsms rather than comparisons to dated old series.
NOTE: I not bashing UC in my post. Please don't accuse me of doing so. I not singing praises for 00 either.
oi after so many months still cant get my name right meh?

I didn't say your minimalistic gundam claims are being defensive of 00, in fact I refrained from further proving my point about GAT-Xs since I'm not going to change your mind and you ain't gonna change mine. But your reply to redeye with the LOL pic is pretty unnecessary, even though his was a bit jabbing too to start with.
This will go on and on forever if I retaliate to you. Just to let you know I have no intentions of defending redeye or anything like that, you guys can go ahead and spar each other; but do it via PM and not clog up our gundam thread with verbal melee.
I'll keep on commenting on 00 or any other gundam, be it praises or criticisms. If 00 comes out with brilliant designs like the Tieren or Astraea, I'll hail it. And I won't stop slamming ugly crap like the armless Macross wannabe.
wolfx: No worries... What a pity that you got caught up as a bystander when you barely mentioned anything at all.

I don't regard you as a fanboy; in fact I understand and respect your views about various gundams even though I disagree about 00 being the best AU and V/F91 being the worst UCs.
Bah, let us just enjoy gundam the way we love it. Let the melee rest... I rest my case.
maybe you didnt and i took it the wrong way, however redeye definitely did and even included his own lolpic to begin with.
i dont even have any intentions of defending ANYTHING (case in mind would be double 00) but when someone pulls a personal jab on me im definitely not gonna sit there and let them do as they please. its not even about double 00 or gundam, its more towards personal attacks/flaming this time around if you havent notice, and at this point its easy to tell whos pulling the first triggers.
for double 00 itself or any gundam or even any anime, its not even "my series" or "my anime", just an anime that i watch and when people are making false statements of said anime i will tend to correct them. for personal critics and what not, if you've been to the WoW sub-forum by any chance, you will know what i mean as being a resident troll right there i can definitely take critics/insults fairly. that said, this thread/sub-forum is definitely not the place for those though.
even funnier is how wolfx is not even involved in this and somehow just got dragged into it.
