Behold! The power of storytelling and imagination when not every single detail is explicated upon and shoved in the audience's face!
Apologies for a bit of a rant that probably nobody else cares about, but I have a bit of a chip on my shoulder about MAHQ (the biggest forum for mecha anime, and Gundam in particular) and how the moderators handle interpretation. There's an assumption that everything has to be spoonfed to you or it isn't right. It's really dumb and limiting.
I think it's baffling that people don't get how this works. Eh, I'm not that baffled actually, people will consume what they are given, and they are being fed dumb shit the way they are being fed fast food. If you grew up eating nothing but McDonalds, you won't want anything but McDonalds.
Alien, considered one of the greatest sci fi films of all time, only hint at the xenomorph throughout, up until the end. Nobody needs to know how a Kessel Run works. Too much background information leaves nothing to the imagination, that's why endless exposition and talking faces are so fucking boring and make for shit films.
