Didn't we all know that Lacus would be the key to everything? She's St. Lacus the Perfect! And the presence of Meer showed that she was awfully important or they wouldn't have bothered to make a look-alike. Plus she hasn't done anything so far so I figured the girl who's always #1 in the polls would come in and save the day. I knew all this, but I'm still puking
( ... )
Ahhh, why are the 3 of us surprised? In the end, it's always about Lacus. Always. Only she can be heroic and brave and contribute something substantial to ending the war. Only she can be the key to finding peace.O___O This disgusts me. I am not a Lacus hater, but I am so fed up of her continually stealing the limelight at the end. She did that in SEED, with her rhetoric and the Clyne faction. And now, after being practically mute in Destiny, without any significant deveopment to the plot, they're letting her do it again. Aaaaaaaaarrrrgggggghhh. Lacus doesn't need this development to redeem her character. Lots of other people do. But no, in the end, they'll always make Lacus out as the only female who can actually do something. They shunt all the other female characters to the side, diminish their worth, and give Lacus all the glory. It's already been established that she's an excellent speaker and pacifist. Now don't they think it's time for someone else to share that throne? Or are they so preoccupied with their

AMEN to all you've said. I'm not a Lacus hater either (as I've said before, she's my favorite character after Cagalli and Stellar), but the way they make Lacus out to be, quoting slacker, "The Virgin Mary" is sickening. If you think about it, it kind of does Lacus a disservice too, because she becomes all perfect like and loses her ability to be a more dynamic,
( ... )
His going back to ZAFT was pointless.Pointless! It's done nothing but dredge out the plot, and give us the same dynamics that were present in SEED. But what makes his turn in Destiny worse is that he's already learnt all this before. What was the point of making him go back, if not to recycle an old and outdated plot twist? I cannot see his return to ZAFT as anything good; the "difference" he wanted to make has yet to appear. Some part of me really does think that they sent him back to ZAFT specifically for that freakin harem.XD Since you wanted me to touch on the Athrun subject, Mel, I did =P
( ... )
Ah and you guys probably know about this, but in case you don't, here are some more spoilers for upcoming episodes of SEED DESTINY:
Fresh from Gunota:
New figure listings from AmiAmi.
MSiA Blaze Zaku Phantom New Color Ver. (tentative name) - The personal color model piloted by Dearka of the Joule Team. Will appear in the program's second half. (end of September, 1,575 yen)
XDDDDDDDD Heh. So Dearka's coming back in the 2nd half, huh? Its been a while, Dearka. I wonder if he'll meet up with Milliaria again? (I also wonder why she dumped him...probably because they were disagreeing over his re-enlistment in ZAFT?)
MSiA Gaia Gundam New Color Ver. (tentative name) - An MS that appears in the program's second half piloted by Archangel member Waltfeld. (end of September, 1,575 yen)
Does this mean the Golden Murasame will be piloted by Mwu/Neo, by chance?
MSiA Strike Rouge Destiny Ver. (tentative name) - Destiny version with Cagalli's emblem on the shoulder and the modified Aile Striker Pack. (end of September, 1,575 yen)YAY!!! So
( ... )
I'm not so thrilled with the thought of her using the IWSP pack - I want a new gundam for her, dammit. But it doesn't necessarily mean that she'll be out again, maybe that model was more to coincide with the Strike Rouge that's already been shown, unlike Dearka and Andy's new models
( ... )
I'm not so thrilled with the thought of her using the IWSP pack - I want a new gundam for her, dammit.
Yeah I wanted her to get a new Gundam too but I'm resigned to the fact she'll have to stick with Strike Rouge =/. Females don't get cool new Gundams to play with like males do, remember? And it seems almost custom-made specifically for her to pilot, and no one else. And Strike Rouge isn't as cool as, say, the Gaia Gundam (which is actually my favorite Gundam, with Murasame coming to a close 2nd), but I really like the lion emblem on her shoulder XD
Maybe this means more Dearka screen time? I like the guy, he was kinda snobby, insensitive and jerkish, now he just seems cool in a way Athrun and Kira never were. Dearka is a dynamic character. =))))) He is. We've went over this before, but almost all of the blondes are dynamic, actually. In fact, the only people I really liked at the start of SEED were Mwu, Rau, and Cagalli. I kinda liked Yzak and Natarle, too, but I was never crazy over them. And I liked Mwu and Rau even more than
( ... )
But did they change the eye catch characters midway in GS, because I only got the cartoon network GS with no eye catch at all, so I don't know.They did change the eyecatch midway into GS. First it was an Athrun and Lacus eyecatch where Athrun was blowing bubbles and Lacus was spinning around and putting her arms up to the sky. The second eyecatch was the same, except Kira replaced Athrun
( ... )
Just ran of to check. Looks like it's going to be a riot - but at the same time, it sounds appalling. And so out of character for Meyrin. But that said - go, Meyrin!
Oh well not that this matters, but I wanted to correct myself on certain things I said above in my entry:
Now I really think about it, its not the fact there was a near Jona/Cagalli wedding that bothers me about the way they wrote Athrun/Cagalli. The near wedding had more meaning to the plot than the harem storyline did, and I already thought that the Cagalli/Jona engagement was appropriate - annoying, but appropriate, and it made for a good story. And even though I still feel it wasn't *necessary* for Athrun to go back to PLANT/ZAFT, I still wouldn't have minded that he did. Key word here being wouldn'tThe thing is, as a few other insightful people pointed out, Athrun was supposed to be doing this for ORB's sake. He was really only there to check out the situation at PLANT and make sure things didn't get out of hand. But when he had the chance to go back to the AA and rejoin his friends, he didn't. And he even seemed prepared to fight against ORB. And his character got bastardized. That, even more than the fact that they reduced
( ... )
I was looking forward to seeing their relationship strengthen instead of weaken. But it didn't.The thing is we don't know where asucaga even stands right now. One minute they're having flashbacks to each other, but then Athrun just says "Archangel" instead of "Cagalli" to seeing the explosion, giving fuel to the anti-asucaga people - though the KiraxAthrun fans must be happy. XD Then again Cagalli didn't react much to Kira's chopping up Saviour either. Another argument could be that these two spend more time thinking of each other anyway than say, Kira and Lacus. It's inconsistent
( ... )
Then some asucaga fans were forced to declare their undying love in uh, not very logical ways, earning the entire asucaga fandom the label 'stupid and rabid.'
XD Well most of us may be rabid, but most of us aren't stupid. We have a right to complain about a lazy, badly done story. And I still have yet to meet one asucaga fanass. The most I've seen that you can classify as "fanass" behavior is when people go "EEK!!! Athrun and Cagalli are getting SEPARATED!!! *panic* *panic*" And even though its silly behavior, I don't think its anything destructive. And if any other pairing was in trouble, I'm sure they'd act like that. And they have every right to do so. The only thing they don't have a right to do is bash the other characters - which truthfully I haven't seen anyone do, either. I've seen people dislike Meer and Lunamaria, but they've never hated on their character and they disliked them for reasons outside of asucaga
( ... )
"EEK!!! Athrun and Cagalli are getting SEPARATED!!! *panic* *panic*"
Uh, I was one of those.
I've seen more and heard more about anti-asucaga fanass behavior than I've seen asucaga fanass behavior.
I've actually seen a few asucaga fanatics, but they're confined to a few places. The anti-asucaga people who can be really hurtful seem to be all over the place though.
And all of Lacus's songs are pretty, especially Fields of Hope.
I actually have a thing for the Meer version of I forgot what that song was called. It's more fun than the original. But the PLANTS are so dumb, that's like a big clue that 'Lacus' is a fake. What self-respecting singer has the same song for more than 2 years?
So who was your favorite character from Gundam Wing? Mine was Duo XD
Mine was Duo also, he had so much joy. Followed by Zechs cause he was just so pretty, and Heero because I like the trained killer thing. Hey, Kill Bill (both) was one of the greatest movies of all time. XD
