For me, I feel the opposite way, because I've seen so much Gundam, I inherently take mecha serious in anime and can't take it in a nonserious context.

Do you think the whole "Giant robots are silly thing" is a problem Gundam has if people are trying to get into it and that's what hard about making it mainstream (or at least again?)

Same thing like Transformers, some people just simply don't find entertainment in big Robots fighting other robots even if the quality animation or effects are great. It's a pretty niche genre if you ask me, 9 out of 10 times people watch big Robots fighting other Robots for cool fight scenes and effects, and after a while it gets boring for them.
