Yeah, Wing will not be viewed as highly ITTL since the fans are already well established and they love the UC timeline. I can see them appreciate the incredibly dark joke, though.
Well, my first draft of that spot featured Chang asking Treize how many people had died due to his orders in the White Fang War, and getting a straight, precise answer down to the ones digit. I decided I preferred the seeming non-sequitur question from Heero when spoken out of context, so that anyone who hadn't actually seen it in context would think the show had a
Fooly Cooly or
Bobobo-bo-bobo kind of vibe.
They're coming over, though I don't think G Gundam needs changing in terms of title, as it will come over by the late 90s and people aren't as culturally sensitive as they are today.
It's less the national stereotypes, and more the fact that the setting is so much nicer than any of the others, that it shares more in common thematically with Fourth Generation Equestria, or the Color Sky of Rainbow Brite than with any other Gundam continuity Earth (Yes, even SD Gundam properties). It may take place after WWIII, but at least the present is (as far as the Average Joe is concerned) no worse than North America north of the Rio Grande or Western Europe, with all the skullduggery taking place
behind closed doors and not affecting general life right up until the revelation of the Devil Gundam. For that matter, Domon is a fully grown adult whose Dark and Troubled Past is so mild that almost any other Gundam protagonist (Save the Build Fighters, Build Divers, and possibly Asemu and Judau) could say "quit your whining," and it wouldn't press a knowing Domon's Berserk Button without causing sharply disapproving stares from Rain, Allenby, and (the rest of) the Shuffle Alliance.
No, Tomino will still do ZZ. In fact, I'm planning for him to integrate it even more strongly to Zeta and CCA by having Amuro and Char appear regularly throughout the series (no Bait and Switch) since he has them for the show in the absence of Kamille, only for him to drop their final fight in favor of CCA. I'd say ZZ will be dark and serious throughout the series, but the ending will be much happier than Zeta since Judau, Leina, and the Gundam Team survive like OTL.
Depends on when he gets the therapy. Victory could be radically changed if he didn't go on the deep end and make it as mindbogglingly depressing as possible so it resembles more like Turn A, but that also depends on corporate meddling and F91 becoming a TV series. I'm all for suggestions when it comes to Gundam, as they're not set in stone.
If you search the forums, you can find at least one thread where
Gundam Wing, Gundam SEED, and
Gundam 00 take place as part of the Universal Century (As either another side to
Zeta Gundam and
ZZ or between
Crossbone Gundam, and
Victory Gundam, just after
Gundam Unicorn, and sometime after
G-Savior, respectively). You might or might not want to take a look at them.
