Mobile Suit Gundam: Japanese Fans React on Whether Funnels Are Just Overpowered — "They Got Hard-Countered and Faded Out"

On Mobile Suit Gundam, Japanese fans dug into whether Funnels are simply overpowered — and then explained, with real lore depth, why they quietly died out. The thread rolls from "only a Newtype ace could use them, while the AI-assisted versions were too weak against real aces, so they sat in an awkward middle" to "by Char's Counterattack they were already just a support weapon," to mobile suits getting too fast for them — leading to Funnel Missiles and the tech being dropped around F91. Knowledgeable, friendly-argumentative mecha-lore energy, landing on a one-line verdict about exactly who broke the whole discussion.
