** A meta moment of awesome for the first movie: first day sales revealed that the movie managed to top 190 million yen ($1.7 million), while the weekend showed that the number increased to more than 524 million yen (around $4.77 million). 10 days after its release, it managed to top 1 billion yen, being the first ''Gundam'' movie in 33 years since ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack'' to do so.

** Terrorists hijack a space shuttle and take a full cabinet of ministers hostage. The terrorist leader orders everyone to shut their mouths and obey their orders.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' As a hostage, your best bet is to keep quiet and not draw attention to yourself, especially at gunpoint. Your own status as a politician has no authority whatsoever over trigger-happy terrorists. Your life is as stake here.\\
'''Instead:''' One minister decides to stand up and give a lecture to the terrorist leader. This pisses him enough to shoot the minister dead.

IDK if this is an example. Fed leaders arrogantly believing themselves untouchable is part of the plot.

* WinBackTheCrowd: After the extremely divisive ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn'' and ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamNarrative'', ''Hathaway'' managed to bring back a lot of the more disgruntled Universal Century fans, to the point even ''Website/FourChan'' (yes, you heard that right) has almost nothing but positive opinions of the movie.

*** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMbCTKHXHAs TRACER]]", despite being solely used as a transition track between Hathaway's monologue and the deployment of the Messers, goes through the former's motivations for what he does, in contrast to the largely unthinking EFF; His commitment to fight and kill for the sake of the Earth, the new generation oppressed by the old, and the future. And how even if blinded by grief, he can still easily see the broken world for what it is. The intro and outro cut from the film itself also sarcastically asserts his enemies within the Earth Federation can become true heroes who actually make the world a better place by dying under his gunfire.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: As is often the case with the Universal Century, it can be easy to fall into this, particularly if you've seen all the previous media and know that the extraordinary sacrifices the characters made have amounted to nil. The Federation is as corrupt and inept as ever, Mafty's goals and tactics differ little from Char's, and the timeline is ultimately DoomedByCanon, as the events of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamF91'' and ''Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam'' are still canon.

*** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCFAInWq0wY CC···12yl]]" is a high-energy track that kicks off with a sequence of synths that only keeps escalating in scale, adding plenty more synths before finally adding a full orchestra right at the end. Its quieter moments add to the already-tense soundscape, lending itself beautiful to the first fight scene of the first movie.

* NightmareFuel:
** The attack on Davao sequence in the movie, full stop. More than any Gundam series prior, it ''really'' drives home how massive and horrifically destructive mobile suit combat is from a civilian's point of view. The worst part by far is that in comparison to previous wars, the attack ''isn't even that bad'' in terms of damage or casualties - not that it helps the innocent people on the ground any.

*** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdKB67YTk4U ESIRNUS]]" starts off with tense, dramatic music that follows Hathaway and Gigi's attempt to escape the attack on Davao on foot, but then culminates in a somber, slow, and heartbreaking strings movement that feels like all of the grief and pain of the Universal Century put into music.
