Little Chibi drawing for @keferon 's Mecha Pilot Jazz AU! Really wanted to showcase the idea of Jazz playing some tunes and dragging a stiff Prowler through a dance :D And of course, Prowl is starstruck with this odd-but wonderful- mecha.

They always understood the assignment, we just didn’t get it.

So I had a massive realization about Peni Parker after watching ATSV. Originally many were mad that she was super different in her movie debut which I get going from her clear Eva inspiration to just being anime.

When she briefly appears in “Across” she looks more accurate. (just being depressed)

A lot would think that she’s now gonna stay like this to fix their error but if you get to the end of the film...

Her smile and drive restored. Why is that? 

Cause they were never trying to make her Eva, she was based on Gurren Lagann the whole time. Her jacket being made up of Simon’s color scheme inverted. She even LITERALLY wears it on her sleeve. Like they really wanted to make sure we got it this time.  

Look at the mech when you put them side by side. But this isn’t even the kicker...

She’s doing the iconic Gainax pose at the end of the film. On top of her mech with something loose to epically flow in the wind. *chefs kiss*  Yes she’s crossing her arms I went frame by frame.

The reason I like this is cause in mecha the protag always goes through depressing stuff. That’s what Eva is built around. So by taking her in that direction she’s now a love letter to genre, Eva being included in there rather than being the only thing referenced.

Also with this knowledge the Spot looking kinda similar all of a sudden...

Wait it’s all Gurren Lagann? Always has been. With that in mind, you know what that means with him right around the corner.

TL;DR: Peni was a reference to Gurren Lagann the whole time which is just a love letter to everything mecha. 

THEY UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT SO HARD, WE JUST DIDN’T GET IT.

In 2004 an anonymous fan made half hour reels of all the known intros to all known super robot and mecha anime that was known to exist. In 2010 they were copyright struck from YouTube.

All four reels are now back.

Mecha genre fiction is fucking great.

"Yeah, this is a billion dollar piece of military equipment. The technology is so cutting edge and advanced that it's basically magic. It's three stories tall and requires extremely rare skills to operate it correctly and effectively.

We gave it big sword."
