Gundam SEED Destiny - 31
I've had it. I've downright had it with her at this point. Looking at where the show is now, I need to finally come out with this.
Stella is probably the worst female Gundam character I've ever seen.
Take any generic waifu from the cover of any LN and I guarantee you that she probably has more of a character than this screaming blow-up doll.
EVERY SINGLE SCENE SHE'S IN IT'S THE SAME SONG AND DANCE.
There is not a single solitary moment in the show where her dialogue consisted of ANYTHING other than:
"I DON'T WANNA DIE!"
"NEEEOOOOO!"
"SHIIIIIIIIIINNN!!!"
"PROTECT!"
"I GOTTA FIGHT TO NOT DIE!"
Why am I getting so mad at this now? Well, in this episode she got into a GIANT Gundam and is currently wrecking cities at the moment! And considering that Destiny as a whole has been one big exercise at ripping off Zeta Gundam, I'M PRETTY SURE I KNOW WHERE THIS IS GONNA GO. HELL, THE SECOND AND THIRD OPs MAKE IT ABUNDANTLY CLEAR.
So when
Kamille Shinn and
Amuro Kira face off against
Four Stella in the
Psycho Destroy Gundam and
Amuro Kira ends up killing her, I'm going to look back and remember all the times Shinn and Stella spent together.
ALL FOUR OR FIVE OF THEM.
What an utter waste of a character. I knew she was going to be a Four Murasame rip-off, but I sure didn't expect her to be so darn SOULLESS.
Not once did this character change from being a screaming, generic, angry damsel-in-distress trope every time she was on screen.
I had problems with Four Mursame in Zeta (mostly due to the fact that her character arc was used in the show twice), but she at least was somewhat written like a human being!
Pathetic.
Absolutely pathetic.
