Gundam, y'all.
What is it good for?
Punching robot battleships.
(I will never not read "Gundam" in a title in any voice other than an American southern accent)
I suppose I should figure out what "Gundam" is supposed to mean in Japanese and why it's not actually a swear
but it sounds like a swear, that's the thing
it's what you say when you see a giant space robot and you are very impressed by how large its guns are
<< The Yatate team combined the English word "gun" with the last syllable of the word "freedom" to form the portmanteau Gundom. Tomino changed it to Gundam, suggesting a unit wielding a gun powerful enough to hold back enemies like a hydroelectric dam holding back water.[8] >>

yeah, I'm terribly sorry, but "hydroelectric installation" is, uh, NOT the primary connotation of the syllable "dam" in English, not anymore
MUCH better than "gundom" though.
Language is hard!
So uh what about a Godzilla/Gundam crossover series
called Gunzilla of course
what were you thinking it would be called

Tin Bee 🥫🐝@natecull gundom makes it sound like it would hold back something other than water...

lol very yes
I am enjoying the visual look of the 1981 movie of the 1979 Mobile Suit Gundam though! O'Neill habitats!
