Line #22 YMMV/GSaviour


1	!!Film
2
3	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The movie has a beautiful soundtrack courtesy of Music/JohnDebney. Even those who hate the movie think that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKK8R7WfxL8 the main theme]] from the Japanese version is fantastic.
4	* BileFascination: This movie is infamous among the ''Gundam'' fandom, and some can't help but want to know why.
5	* CompleteMonster: [[InsaneAdmiral General Garneaux]] is the BigBad. While appearing to be a man trying to save his people, he is later revealed to be [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist the opposite]]. Desiring a special serum that will save CONSENT from starvation, he plans on destroying it in order to implement a policy of selective starvation, all for the sake of power; he orders [[TheDragon Lt. Col. Jack Halle]] to kill [[LaResistance the Illuminati]] when they break into a Hydrogen rig to steal the serum. Heading to Gaia to acquire the serum from Mark and Cynthia, he starts a war between CONSENT and Gaia as a distraction, using Mark’s fiancée Mimi as a spy.
6	* FanonDiscontinuity: Contrary to popular belief, WordOfGod has not removed ''G-Saviour'' from the Universal Century. However, everyone treats it like it has, and the creators of the franchise rarely acknowledge the film.
7	* HarsherInHindsight: The fact that this estabilishes that the Earth Federation will eventually collapse a few decades before the events of the film may cause this while viewing the Universal Century shows.
8	* HilariousInHindsight: Let's see:
9	** A mobile suit named Freedom, and an AnimeThemeSong titled "Orb". [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Ring any bells?]] Also, the [=GINNs=] in ''SEED'' look a hell lot like the Bugus. For that matter, one of the pilots in this film is played by Creator/SamuelVincent, who would go on to play Athrun.
10	*** Speaking of Bugu; the MS-04 Prototype Zaku from Manga/MobileSuitGundamTheOrigin manga is finally named as such.
11	** Guess which of the generic characters from [[Anime/LoveLive another]] [[Anime/LoveLiveSunshine anime]] gets a similar denial-based reactions (albeit ironic) from fans?
12	* MoralEventHorizon: While Garneaux seemed like a reasonable man at first, that all goes out the window when he crosses the line by trying to destroy a formula that is intended to save many from starving.
13	* SpecialEffectFailure:
14	** It's clearly raining in the airbase, yet all of the actors are completely dry.
15	** Then there's the CGI mobile suits[[note]]which were animated by regular ''Franchise/StarTrek'' effects firm Digital Muse[[/note]]. While they look pretty decent (Key word being "''look''"), their slow movements and actions (when compared to other ''Gundam'' shows or games) murder the awesomeness of the battle scenes.
16	* SoOkayItsAverage: When detached from the ''Gundam'' franchise and viewed as stand-alone, ''G-Saviour'' isn't horrible, but nothing to write home about either.
17	* {{Squick}}: Mark and Cynthia escaping [[spoiler:the morgue through a chute, taking them to a bin full of ''bags of human remains and not reacting about it'']].
18	* StrangledByTheRedString: Mark and Cynthia. The man ''already has a girlfriend'' in the form of Mimi and decides that after snogging Cynthia, he doesn't love Mimi anymore and wants to be with Cynthia instead.
19	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Merchandise-related: A lot of fans really feel like the Mobile Suits got the short end of the stick. There are those that un-ironically like the mobile suit designs and bemoan that, due to the movie's failure, the G-Saviour Space Mode was the only design to get a model kit.
20	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The drama CD carries a lot of interesting information that isn't used in the movie itself, leaving a lack of explanation for a lot of events. Some suggest that one should watch the movie and listen to the drama CD to understand the bigger picture.
21	* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: Just about everyone. The actors (except ''maybe'' Brennan Elliott), the director, producers, the writer, and even Sunrise, to the point that the latter created tie-ins for the film.
22	* {{Woolseyism}}: The Japanese version. Not only did it feature dubbed (and sometimes changed) dialogue, it also featured a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0nlvbGIpp4 completely new intro]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I6di-ocEd8 recut some of the scenes]], for better or for worse.
