Sydney Sweeney Mobile Suit Gundam Live-Action Plot Update: Objective Analysis

Discussing Spencer Baculi’s article on the latest reported plot details for Legendary’s live-action Mobile Suit Gundam movie starring Sydney Sweeney and now directed by Jim Mickle (Sweet Tooth) after Jordan Vogt-Roberts. The Hollywood Reporter’s Borys Kit reports the story centers on Sweeney and an uncast male lead as young lovers on opposite sides of an interplanetary war in a Romeo-and-Juliet-style romance, with Sweeney involved in casting decisions and Noah Centineo in talks for a co-starring role. I highlight Baculi’s point that instant backlash to this premise will quickly separate real Gundam fans from those unfamiliar with the franchise’s history—especially its long tradition of romance, such as Char and Lalah in the original 1979 series and Shiro Amada falling for enemy Zeon pilot Aina Sahalin in Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team, where their relationship is considered treason by both sides. What do you think of this update?
