Why did Hollywood never give mecha films a chance? Mecha media is filled with spectacle and action and Hollywood melodrama.
>but Pacific Rim!
Extremely goofy designs and screenplay that only got off the ground due to Del Toro throwing his weight around (no pun intended) and which wasn’t marketed properly in the US. Also, making it a kaiju movie too was probably a mistake.

Transformers is mecha.

Go back to /a/

Because mecha was very hard to do if not impossible before CGI, what's stopping them now? Uncertainty if it will sell

SASABI ZABI DOO

Mecha fans want to see mecha doing mecha stuff. Regular movie goers want to see people doing people stuff.

Only the UC timeline has good designs (90%)
But then Gundam went off the rails with their holy angel designs with gay wings.

>>211597886 (OP)
Gundam wasn’t popular among gaijins

>>211597886 (OP)
saw the three gundam compilation movies and i liked them well enough, that chars counter attack was horseshit though

>Extremely goofy designs
Motherfucker do you see the silly ass robot you posted? Are you mechautists just desensitized to how RETARDED your power ranger cartoon robots look to normal people? Do you think this shit looks any more serious than Optimus Prime or whatever?

>B-B-BUH LE PEOPLE DIE IN THIS CARTOON IT'S LE WAR
It's a goofy fucking cartoon with Hanna Barbera looking ass characters, Star Wars lightsabers and toy robots.

idk robot jox was pretty cool

Sure let's just forget wheelsniggers in Victory, F91 lance midgets with dumb faces, literal pirates with cloaks and cutlasses in Crossbone and fucking everything in Gwrecko.

Those are all UC dogshit, you don't get to ignore them just because everyone is jerking off OYW - CCA period.

Most mecha anime is disappointing in how much time it spends on people really.
I kinda got turned off on the genera because I’d think a mecha was cool, then the pilot being some dweeby little twink just made it seem lame.

>>211597886 (OP)
I wish they'd make an armored core movie. That one 10 min episode with Keanu showed it could work. The world building they did in that was crazy in such a short time.

because live action mecha is even more retarded than grown men in tights fighting each other. it only works in 2D and sometimes 3D

>Mecha fans want to see mecha doing mecha stuff
Depends. "Real robot" fags want to see politics, factions and pilot drama. Patlabor being a notorious example with an entire episode dedicated to fertilizer price gouging or what the fuck ever.

Here's one of THE most popular Gundams in entirety of Asia, and one of the main, if not the main Gundam, after the titular one of its show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSwHlRMNIGU

7 minutes. You see it for 7 minutes and then the 50 episodes long series ends.

Here's your Char Aznable bro.
>also he never wears his helmet because actors need to show their faces at all times

>wheelsniggers in Victory
Shut up. They were rad. Motorad if you will

>>211598311
Top Gun is essentially gundam but with tomcats

Its all about that new scary Russian tech and the heroes' attempt to leverage their own machines' strength, as well as bravery in a mission etc etc

That Hathaway movie was "shot" in a realistic fashion and was cool and good
