Okay but why not just make a grunt-esque Gundam and then have the protagonist just be baller in it.
Char sells like hotcakes and people were interested in this Char getting the Gundam, so people aren't against a character using a worse mobile suit. On top of that people love Thunderbolt and one of the protags is literally using a jury-rigged Zaku. A series that would ironically depict a Zaku-style pilot fighting against Gundam/Gelgoog tier opponents and other Zaku-tiers would be really cool and a break from the formula.
Plus, Zeon gunpla are super profitable as well as unique-looking gunpla.
I'm not guaranteeing success here but I'm just proposing a VOTOMS esque series. Something like Dunbine or Escaflowne would also be cool.

Char as a character seems to really be tied to personal freedom, the dude bucks any sense of chains on himself even if it isn't real or would literally be a good thing (AEUG leader, working under the Zabis after they killed his dad, losing to Amuro). He'd definitely be the sort of person to reject a fantasy world even if it meant he got everything he wanted, to him it's just another form of slavery.

Yeah as much as this show may have flaws I like how it genuinely does love UC. None of this feels like it was done out of malice or to one-up previous shows and it even makes a point to enhance old characters. The Char episode of stealing the Gundam is made with a lot of love and care, I can't really agree with people saying it's pure nostalgia bait.

that's true but it's not like the story or even later works had a wholly positive view of the "gravity". londo bell is still a lapdog, the federation are still miserly pieces of shit and literally were cool with Axis pulling that shit so long as they got paid, if I remember right.
the moral of the story to me seemed to be a merging of Char and Amuro's ideas, understanding each other (something they, at the end, couldn't do). people need to move on from self-centered thinking and supremacy (reject staying on the Earth forever) but you can't force it through overwhelming violence and destroying the Earth itself. we belong to Earth and we always will. it is our recognition of that which will allow us to move away from an Earth centric view, to value it as a cradle of natural beauty instead of a throne to only mankind. you can't remove that belonging by destroying it, because it is innate. it has to be an internal change.
or that's what I think. personally I like Char's ideals and i think rejecting the concept completely is less interesting. it's a lot cooler to think that Char is on to something but he fucked up vs him and the AEUG were just outright wrong.
