Someone should take out the MG Gelgoog manual and check the current #. But anyhow:
Actually someone should take out the manuals of the 3 MG Zaku I kits and check if they are the root source of Mark's accounts. Kit manuals dating back to MSV have been shaping and enriching (to look on the bright side of life) Gundam cannon. But the MG manuals seem to me the source of most of the outrageous retocons. I am very interested to see a full translation of all the MG kit manuals starting with OYW.
example. it'd be like "Life of Brian", adding Brian to the location where Jesus is preaching doesn't break the Bible facts and continuity.
But Brian is just another joe on the street right? That makes him a Zaku II, a regular unit not the smartest and strongest, but doesn't stick out of the crowd. If a Neanderthal shows up in a scene and get blessed by Jesus that's more like a Zaku I; and I would be yelling hey the Bible didn't mention a Neanderthal until now! But much more importantly, LoB wasn't produced by the Catholic Church or some religious study professor, LoB didn't claim to update or augment the Bible. John Cleese didn't hold down a daytime job as Archbishop of Canterbury. Mark Simmons is the Archbishop of Canterbury of Gundamdom, he shouldn't be unquestioningly translating and authenticating any random manuscripts (MG kit manual) produced by no-name choir boys (hobby writers) just because they are based in Rome (Bandai) and adding Book of Judas to the New Testaments.
And please always look on the bright side of life!
