>>10660885Listen, to the average gundamslop "i just watched the wfm and now my opinion matters" older MG's are "plain and boring". If you go back to the stone age then they're not much more than upscaled hg's with a very underdeveloped inner frame (except for the Dom he has no right to be as good as he is), but if you just go forward for just even five years shimmers of brilliance show through. And going into the Zeta 2.0 era and early ver.KA's it's pretty much some of the best years of development from the line. A few years after that we really hit a golden age for the line, the inner frame system has been mostly perfected, balancing price, articulation, gimmicks, and being an actually enjoyable painting process. Past that into the mid to late 10's the decay started, less and less kits released and most of them being p-gofuckyourself exclusive repaints boded bad for the line. Now Bandai appeals less and less to the actual modeler and more towards beginners with simpler hg's, not that that's necessarily a bad thing at any point in a company's life you need to appeal to the next generation of fans, so re-100s and mg's took to the back burner (and by back burner i mean a 60 year old portable gas stove that can barely melt butter). Now whenever bandai makes mg's that aren't p-buttfuckers they show it up like it's some big event like they're reinventing the goddamn wheel, but in reality there not much more than 2.0's with more greebles (it makes the normies feel like they accomplished something when they snap it together in an afternoon). The Zaku i, powered gm, gm striker, Gp02a, ext ext all need 2.0's or re100's p-cocksuckers need my neet bux (can you tell i'm not a big fan of made to order kits?). Jesus this is getting long tldr new gundam fans are mush head zoomers that can't stand a hobby project that lasts longer than 3 hours and old mg's still have their place in the fandom
