Sounds suspiciously a lot like what Lacus Clyne did before she was elevated into sainthood and grand commander of the third faction in SEED. Some allusions to the songstresses of Macross too.
Yeah, but the possibility that Lacus is actually a sneaky politician who uses the sweet girl facade to get her way is her redeeming quality.
Da fuck?
That is like the worst reason to dislike a Gundam series. I can understand the Gundams not being well done or not liking the cast/plot. But that out of all things?
BTW where the hell did the force people to be peaceful come into effect in 00?
Marina singing didn't stop anybody important from still fighting let alone peaceful.
Marina singing stopped Setsuna from fighting, but you're right, he's not exactly important anyway. And my hatred for 00 has a lot more to it than that, that was just an example of how Wing, for all its faults, isn't the kind of shit show that 00 is.
00 is awful for at least the following reasons:
-Its cast is never really developed, largely because the show chooses to introduce a million other characters instead. Setsuna in particular is a horrible, lifeless rip-off of Sousuke Sagara, but we have such other horrid characters as Nena Trinity and Saji Crossroads, too. Many cast members seem to have some ridiculous contrivance to them, too, instead of actual development.
-Things happen without any actual reason to them in the show. Louise Hallevy suddenly being able to pilot a mobile suit at an elite level without the slightest hint of having known how to do so in S1. Even the time skip isn't enough to explain that. For a show that's all about being just according to keikaku, nothing ever has any real rhyme or reason to it. Things happen and get attributed to Schenberg and that's that.
-The writers themselves lost track of what was going on. As in, characters who had previously met acting as if they didn't know each other, the sudden, barely explained difference between an Innovade and an Innovator.
-Giant fucking space flower. I mean, I could just say "THE MOVIE" but really, the flower or the movie, take your pick. It was all terrible.
-Names. Go from at least plausibly made up names like Yazan Gable to "REVIVE REVIVAL" and you're just like, uh, what?
-Characters dying and being replaced with identical characters, who, on at least one occasion, had the exact same name, begging the question of "why kill them in the first place?" and cheapening the value of death in the show overall.
-Setsuna acquired power ups whenever it was convenient to the plot. Trans Am is the biggest, but the teleporting is the worst offender.
-Action sequences degenerate over the course of the series from good fights to what most resembles a connect the dots sequence of lines and circles which one assumes are lasers and explosions but with the way the camera's spinning who even knows?
-The main villain's goal is as ambiguous as the hero's, mostly because its still based around the nebulous plan of Schenberg.
-Magical bullshit song of the worst variety magically ending a fight.
-When they're not replaced by a doppleganger, people still come back from the dead for no damn reason without a scratch on them.
The list goes on, but the point is that 00 is the worst Gundam ever made.
Theres no way that Age is worse than 00 right?
AGE is terrible, but no, it's not as horrible as 00.
