About the no sound issue, it is a problem with the RUclips player that has been going on for over 3 years now. It will ether play the video with no sound or not play the video at all with you stuck on the loading ring. The only way I have found to fix this is to refresh the page until it plays or hit the back button then re-click on the video.
So, yeah, the end of AGE 2 is where we truly start to see the fundamental issue with the central conflict of this series. That is, Gundam AGE wants to have a morally grey conflict in which both of the main factions have their failings and yet among them people you can feel sympathetic towards. The problem is they don't actually show you with this with the Federation. Yes we are told corruption exists and see Federation members participating in it, but said corrupted is inevitably precipitated by the Vagans themselves... like, every time. Likewise, through Zeheart and a few other non-obviously evil antagonists, we're given an underlying and persistent theme that there's more to the Vagans than being irrational monsters that they were first seen as. That at some point the main character's capacity to move past their hatreds and sympathize with the Vagans will lead to a better outcome for everyone and the Flit's warmongering is wrong... but no. Even when the Federation offers a peace treaty that lets Vagans to migrate back to Earth and have that Eden they believe they deserve, the Vagans refuse it and any other kind of negotiation. They don't care, and will prove to the audience just how much they don't care by killing civilians en masse with fucking giant robotic dragons. It's like morally equating a probably corrupt mayor who gives out shady government contracts to companies that may be affiliated with organized crime to goddamned Genghis Khan, who killed 40 million human beings.
Yeah. That's the biggest problem. Hell, what really made me dislike the Vagan were their leader, who essentially decided that the only way to stop war was to have all the people who pushed the fight to wipe each other out, leaving only those who strive for peace remaining. But it's such a naive and ass-backward way of looking at things that it comes across as an ego trip as opposed to a call to sympathy. Hell, the Vagan had the technology to bring their entirely colony closer to the Earth to avoid the cosmic rays that were making them sick, which pretty much destroys one of their motivating factors _for_ the war. Zeon, with it's clearly Nazi like inspired design and philosophy, where shown to be more sympathetic than the Vagan, and they dropped entire _colonies_ on Earth. But if you looked at the Vagan in a purelu objective manner, they were unrepentant assholes. The biggest reason why is because there was no real command structure. The different factions of the Vagan did whatever they wanted and exasperated problems. And those who actually tried to change things failed miserably because they could never think beyond their personal problems. Everyone was doing their own thing. At least the Federation _attempted_ to weed out corruption (and largely succeeded) within their ranks while with the Vagan there were too many clashing personalities to come to a solid and practical solution. It took an almost literal Jesus-like proxy in the form of Kio to get everyone on the same page (and there was no payoff because it happened so suddenly. The Vagan just... up and forgot their hostility because some kid told them to be nice.)
Threatening a pitch up for spoilers is a great idea until the guy who is still just dropping spoilers a half dozen eps in stops caring about the consequences. EDIT: I wrote this halfway through the vid and wow that guy cant seem to help himself.
I don't understand what's going on guys, I can hear audio just fine. Edit: It's starting to come on for more people, it's probably a strange processing goof with RUclips. Sorry about that.

You went so far down the abyss that we can't hear you.

Ahaha the first pitch raise
Oh no, the hell spawn of Relena and Kira is upon us. Boo I worry for your sanity.

Keep up the great work:)
Also if it's possible, can you do a zeonic victory series, it would be interesting to see your take on topic.
Huh? What was that? I can't hear you that deep into the abyss xD
waiting for boo to comeback and do a vid on witch from murcury
he won't. he's pretty much perma done.
No video or audio on my end
Really wanna see a vid for hathaways flash
Not happening, Boo's pretty much on indefinite Hiatus.
you consider compiling all the age videos into one video?
Would take to long to make and Boo's pretty much done with RUclips now.
@@Courier-gq6ym is he? Didn't know that.
Part 7? What happened to part 6?
It's the last video, Too many dudes
Where have they gone???? They have disappeared
Boo's retiring from RUclips, it's just becoming tedious to manage when he has responsibilities now
Boo, where’s the end to this series?
Not coming, he's ATM on indefinite hiatus, most likely giving up on RUclips
They noticed the comparison of AGE 2's finale battle with Wing's so I hope they notice a certain Gundam's design being similar to a Gundam from Wing.
I don't understand what's going on guys, I can hear audio just fine.
Edit: It's starting to come on for more people, it's probably a strange processing goof with RUclips. Sorry about that.
Welp not really...
no audio here sorry man
Yeah I had an issue from another channel. Maybe the bots are finally straining youtube.
@@TheKing-qz9wd I can watch other videos tho so something is up with RUclips again
Why is there no audio?
You keep Obright alive, so we can get a HG Genoace O-Custom.
Wait....what do you mean they didn't make a High Grade?
What about a P-Bandai?
Shit!
Either there's no audio or I've gone deaf.
I'm curious what the name of the music track at 31:12 is.
Edit:
To answer my own question, it's:
Karl Casey - Glitch in Reality
The audio is dead ooof
talk about Berserk!!!!!!
there's nothing left to talk about tho
Can't wait for the White Witch video.
Please do a series on if rex created a clone army after order 66
It should work now, guys.
ok
4 months later and boofire is still talking about age 😮💨
