>Soon, we human will gain the abilities to read mind, can sense danger and shit via evolving into a new type of humanity because space. Trust me bro...
Americans couldn't come up with a concept as simple yet interesting and open for complexity as newtypes.
...AND THESE HUMANS WILL BE SUPERIOR TO ALL WHOSE SOULS ARE WEIGHED DOWN BY GRAVITY. DEATH TO THE FEDERATION!
>>22587321>Americans out of nowhere Rent free, either you keep your mouth shut or just don’t bother with this thread.
>>22587321Its just psychics you nutter. A common concept in Sci-Fi.
newtypes were a mistake and everything wrong with gundam.
>>22587615I hear this opinion a lot, but they don't seem any more egregious than stuff like star wars or dune outside of entries like Unicorn which have plenty of other writing issues.
>>22587615They needed a way to explain Amuro's ability to beating Ramba and Char with no prior training
>>22587615you can't have gundam without newtypes or another mystical factor
>>22587983Other way around.
>>22587321Gundam responsibles for every bad tropes in modern anime.
>>22587321X-Men were first.
>>22588002>tropesOpinion discarded
>>22587316Hasn't it been stated in some manga or world encyclopedia that Zeon Deikun's "Newtypes" only meant a "new man" living in a non-Gaia-centric world with new perspectives? Like every revolutionary ideology has some component about the "revolution of the self" and creating a new type of person after the revolution? I'm pretty sure that even Zeon was caught off-guard when people with actual psychic power showed up, so they just grabbed the most convenient term to label them.
>>22590462this is pretty much the point of all newtype-related discussion post 0079. There's no proof or guarantee that the fact some people have begun to manifest powers has any connection to living in space nor any correlation with the theory of an evolved humanity. It's just wishful thinking mixed with politics.
>>22587989Explain Wing.
>>22590937QuatreAlso Zero System is scientific in nature but function and depiction are mystical
>>22590462>>22590477Wtf is "Contolism"? Some shit Tomino made up?
>>22593372Confirmed for having a soul that's weighed down by gravity.
>>22587321the X-Men?
>>22593372That's supposedly the name for Zeon Deikun's "Federation bad, living in space good" ideology, but I've only ever seen it in wikis and other English speaking fan sources, so for all I know some autistic guy made up a bullshit name and it stuck.
>>22593567X-Men is convoluted anti-racism that ends up yelling "it's dey culcha!!" at you if you imply they are actually dangerous.

>>22593781So newtypes half the time
