>>9783096Honestly I think I'd rather have them do a more original design for the movie than trying to adapt the RX-78 too closely.
The original MSG designs are just way too toyetic and full of that 70s super robo DNA to work in a Gundam film proper.
In Ready Player One it was kinda okay, but that was only because the setting of that movie was already full of goofy shit to begin with so it doesn't expect you to take it too seriously.
They need to put the real robot back in Gundam again, but I also don't want them to take the super overly detailed bayformers approach.
Something that's modern and industrial but familiar like the gundam evolve designs with some details inspired from modern spacecraft design.
