A mecha story with nothing
(multiverse.soulism.net)
Glad to hear the ancient tongues still spoken 👍
Living here in jersey, fighting villains from afar...
If this is supposed to prove a mecha show with no gay stuff, I'm sure I can dig up some fanfic to argue otherwise.
Fanfic doesn't count or you need to include all fanfiction. I don't think we should break open that particular pandoras box just yet
That’s just Bergerac!
omg i forgot about this one.
What’s the original meme from?
This was a TV commercial for string cheese initially. It was I want pizza minus the bread and no tomato sauce.
It's looks like You Can't Do That On Television but I don't think it is.
Commercial for Polly-o string cheese
Exo-Squad from the 90s, didn't have gay stuff. But damn if it wasn't heavy on the politics.
How about Robot Jox?
Post-apocalyptic is automatically political. Plus it is 2 opposing super powers. Sounds like a cold war that went hot.
Vassiiiiilllllyyyyy!
It's robot fights instead of waging war? Like saying g gundam isn't political
It's sad to see the proud Sgt. Aguado reduced to flipping burgers. Sure, he didn't solve the Snowflake case and didn't realize his Lieutenant was an escaped criminal dressed as a woman, but still...
Same goes for sci-fi in general
"tHeY mAdE sTaRtReK pOlItIcAl"
680 episode seasons, from which only 3 episodes are not space Aesop’s fables.
That's the problem when you find someone too stupid to even understand the analogies used to try and teach them. For someone it's just the story of "stuff happening to a little girl bringing food to her grandma in the woods".
Same folks who thought Colbert was a conservative commentator.
Ahh, my second boyfriend.
He was an idiot but tried to convince me I was the idiot.
I mean, you dated him.
Same reason I don't think that highly of my exes
A show about big fighting mechs isn't complete if the pilots aren't gay and in love and hate each other and exclusively communicate through monologues of their ideals on the current political climate.
The human drama is the central focus, the mechs is just changing the set pieces.
there's only so many plots.
For example: It's a standard workplace love story exploring the ego and id. It's just that the workplace is an underground base where some dudes are letting teenagers pilot alien hybrid mechs to bring about the end of humanity.
Mecha are useful in that they combine the "shining armour" and "gallant steed" of classic stories into a single object.
Heated Circuit Rivalry
No, that still leaves underage pilots going into combat and suffering immense mental trauma.
Or you can take that out and backfill with 90s era pop culture satire. Megas XLR is a masterpiece.
I think that part too may have some political messaging.
