Well, most people felt the same way.

The only hyped up ones had been the ones in charge of marketing. Toro made it thus the media / audience did expect something different than a standard flick.

Watched it recently - 3 tries, bored at work. ONE THING I WONDERED ABOUT - is the main character of a Roma background? Or a traveller one? The name of the main mecha had not been explained at all!

[(Anonymous)]

The writer said the mech was named in homage to some old fighter plane (whose specifics and name origin I don't remember) but that he regretted calling it that and would have called it something different if he'd known at the time that that word can be offensive. (Yes, this is very easy not to know your whole life if you're American, so don't start shit.)

[(Anonymous)]

XD SA. Well, I'm not American and the word "gypsy" is not offensive in my language as that is what the travellers prefer and is an equivalent to Romani thus I can't even start shit ;) . Thanks for the info, had been honestly clueless about that.

The tinkers, didakois, scrap metal thieves, and child snatchers don't generally find being called an old gypo offensive until they've made good and want to put that lifestyle behind them. When they are out playing the old game siphoning gas for their next midnite move, then the only name they find offensive is "honest citizen". Fuck, but they hate that. Then when their thieving days are behind them, they've stolen enough to start investing in the stock market and paying non-romanis (because, fuck it, they know that paying another of their kind to do a job will result in the cash being knicked and the job left in ruins) to put up their drywall or polish the jag, that is when they start getting uptight.

Gipsy, as opposed to Gypsy, is part of the name of a military aircraft engine. The Jaeger was named after that.

[(Anonymous)]

SA. Ah, different spelling. Same as I told above anon - missed that. Watched the subtitled version (bad hearing) and it spelled "Gipsy". Thanks!
