Why in almost all of the "Gundams" MS ordinary "bad guys" are constantly copying these wretched "Zaku"?

Is it not possible to draw for the antagonist and a good realistic mecha, like "Nemo" or "Leo/Virgo"?

Archetypes. Gundam is built upon visual shorthand. Boxy, angular, and modern-looking is good, soft, rounded, and (in UC) German-inspired is bad.

Its fairly simple: Asian despise everything that its new and breaks the norm.

Why do you think Gundam has copied the same formula for such a long time? Because their audiences eat that shit up and hate it whenever something new is brought to the table.

As if western plebs arent as boring and predicable as well.

If you change enough shit, it just becomes a different robot show.

Also they have done it before, and those designs have never proven as popular or iconic in the long run.

Why do "you" type like a "retard"

>Implying Sunrise/Bandai give shit about their western audiences.

My point stays Gundam fans are too afraid to change. Thats why Gundam is forever doomed to be a reash of 0079.

To be fair, when they do try something new the writers usually have no idea how to handle it because it's not what they're used to. So it ends up shitty.
