What is it with people and acting as if the Universal Century Gundam timeline doesn't exist?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Animes : One Thread

This is plain pathetic. On almost every Gundam site on the 'net that claims to be "THE BEST GUNDAM SITE EVAR", all the information they have, guarenteed, are Gundam X, Gundam Wing, and Gundam Seed. Typical mindset of a Winger:

"LOL u idiot, wing is nto my favorite series it is my third because seed is now my favorite n gundam x is the secon!!11"

Honestly, what is with these wannabe Gundam fans anyway? Whereas us true Gundam fans praise the UC timeline for it's terrific storylines and some of the best Gundam series such as Mobile Suit Gundam, Zeta, and Victory, there are still morons who act as if the only Gundam series that exist are the alternate universes. Every single time I go into a chatroom on Gundam and I ask if anyone has seen Zeta yet, half the idiots there respond with "lol no zeta sux becuz the grafix r shit".

I know that most of you who are reading this are NOT one of these people, but to the many people who are like this, you are no Gundam fan. The AUs are all decent series I'm sure, but they do not reign supreme. So don't bother telling us how your God Gundam/Wing Zero Custom/Gundam Double X/Freedom Gundam is the ultimate Gundam and can destroy any other Gundam ever made.

Sorry for the rant, just had to vent a little.

Is Zeta supposed to be coming to CN? Thought I read something about that.

They're planning on it, yes. It will probably follow Seed, though. Typical idiotic Cartoon Network...

I love Gundam for what it is, the best Mecha anime idea ever. UC or Alternate, it doesnt matter becuz it's friggen GUNDAM people. And I'd love to see Zeta in the US even on CN, because its better than nothing, and they cant take away the fact that Gundam is Gundam, regardless of Saga. As you can see, Im not one of those people who thinks UC or AU is better. So i only halfway agree with you Sess. I only have 1 thing that i dont agree with you at all on though. To be a fan of something you dont have to be obsessed with it. You just have to like it.

And don't tell me that fan is short for fanatic, I know that. But meanings of words change you know. If you will notice, there is no common word for a person who just likes something, so people have started using "fan" nistead, and I'm cool with that.

I have no problem accepting that people still think the AUs are the best if they've seen most/all of the series, but if those idiots who automatically assume that something they haven't watched (Zeta, Victory, etc) are crap, then that's when I get pissed.

I see your point and agree with you yet again.
