It was one of those monster movies where the monster was only a threat because the characters were morons. Well, mostly the Misato/Gendo blend Captain chick.
The monster was such a huge threat that they sent a whole 1.5% of their forces at it. They had at least 264 mechs with 28 spears. Why only send 4 with 2? Why not everything you had? What was everyone else busy doing? Where was this 256 mech reserve defense squadron when they launched the first strike in case it failed, before she decided to splatter hundreds with an emergency evasion?
The "elite" 4 mech squadron getting wiped out was supposed to show what a huge threat the alien was, but it just showed what inept idiots the pilots were. That's something Titan did a lot better. It showed the elite scouts could make mincemeat out of the standard titans, so that when the MYSTERIOUS super titan showed up, them getting wiped out would have an impact and signify a threat. Even then it showed some effective effort of them putting up a fight first. The starry eyed pilot couple in Sidonia just elicited a painful eye roll.
I also stopped watching because it was going to go with the same tiresome dutiful militant nationalist vs anti-war activist strawmen bit as Titan. This is a legacy left by losers who worshiped the likes of fellow loser Yukio Mishima as a hero rather than the tea party militia asshole he was. |
