Gundam

 * Ypsilon - The Arcana: Why do I feel like I'm being an idiot when trying to symbolize sci-fi armaments with the fucking Major Arcana? I'm probably running out of ideas, or entered the shit idea department. Either that, or I'm having a relapse on the Persona series.

Problems with People

 * CarlosIXA: Now, I know I'm a major dick to a lot of people. A friend to some, but that's the minority. Let's face it, I have a well-documented case of unnecessary anger aimed at random people for trivial things. For the users that have were around in 2012, you remember when I lashed out at Vegito SS3 when he forgot to add a writer template to some of his pages, right? That's a case of unneeded anger that just comes out of nowhere.
 * Night Vision/Kusanagi-14: This section is more based on an event that happened between April 23 and April 27. On April 23, I woke up to find that the community of BlazBlue Fanon deciding on a new wiki name, and a message to one of the other admins, Kusanagi-14. Said message was a user calling Kusanagi out for bullying a user named Rayth, and asking why Kusanagi "was suck a prick". When I saw it for the first time, I also saw that Kusanagi already replied to it, and I had problems with the fact that he was dancing around the subject and blatantly calling his bullying "kidding around". Because I was on the move, I decided to type a reply myself to him, picking apart his words point by point. Because I had time to decided on what to do, I just thought I'd keep to myself and let the typed up reply just sit there. On that same day, I saw that the community had made Blazblue Fandom Wiki, and I decided to help out because these people were also people I got to know for sometime. I imported one of my pages so I'd be a registered user there and a guy called Zero made me admin there. I stayed in the background of the argument going on in BlazBlue Fanon and just helped in designing Blazblue Fandom. Then, on April 24th, my adminship was suddenly revoked from me, along with another admin who's also an admin here, DarkGhostMikel. I asked Night why my adminship had been taken away from Dark and I, and didn't get a reply from her until 2 days later. But then Kusanagi, before Night replied, deleted every page that wasn't his or Night's from the wiki, including my stuff. Every idea I've ever had suddenly vanished that day, and I was pissed. Then she replies, giving me some backhanded excuse about the issue, ALONG with what she thinks about the situation going on at the time, thinking not that Kusanagi was in the wrong for bullying a defenseless user, but just thinking everyone just has butthurt directed at Kusanagi. I decided to do the same point by point reply to her, but, like with one for Kusanagi, I decided just to keep it to myself.

Universal Century

 * The Unicorn Gundam in general:
 * ​I really don't like much of Katoki Hajime's designs that much, but I can tolerate their existence most of the time. Not the Unicorn Gundam, though. It's design, if I'm looking from far away, it looks fine by me, but when I get in a mile of it's sight, I start seeing problems. First of all (and don't you dare bring up the MG Unicorn if you want to answer this to me), how does it's main camera work? I mean, I get it has this visor in Unicorn Mode, fine, but where do those visors go when it transforms and packs the Unicorn face into the head to be replaced by the Gundam face? And don't say it's connected to the face because that is not true. Universal Century technology has not even reached that kind of complexity. And you have to realize that they have to be big because a pilot needs a high-quality image of the battle from the cockpit, otherwise they have to do guess work on what's a random spot in the live footage and what's an enemy from far away. Another is the side cameras on the torso, you know the random things with red circles in the middle that are in between the head and the arms. Usually, those cameras are put a bit lower on the chest, like with either the GP01, GP02, GP03, Gundam Mk-II, and if you want a more recent example in the UC timeline: The Nu Gundam has one lower into the torso. It looks like it's about to get to the Unicorn's height, but there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for why: there's the two yellow vents on the Nu's chest, which would probably mess with the wiring for the camera if it was any closer. Then there's the backpack, which I can't get over. In Unicorn mode, it's just a standard thruster backpack in the Universal Century, no big deal, but when it transforms into Destroy Mode, the problems makes itself appear. First of all, how are beam sabers fueled at all when there's that stupid transformation gimmick where the beam sabers come out of the backpack to be pointed like standard Gundam's beam saber rack? Wouldn't the wiring that connects the beam sabers to the recharge rack get ripped apart by the large amount of twisting parts that make up the transformation? Well, it could be a system like magnet coating on the original RX-78 so there's no wiring in the way. Second of all, how is the visible thrusters getting any power when the rear thrusters are out? This is a problem because look at where it's folding out off: right behind the first pair. You may argue that it's just artistic design, but I might argue that it's only the fucking propulsion system and it doesn't make any damn sense.
 * Full Frontal:
 * Banagher Links - Overpowered Pacifist AKA UC's Kira Yamato:
 * Look at this: the two start off as forced to pilot the main Gundam of the story, the two are put on the path of pacifism (Kira is forced while Banagher was actually already on the way), and the ultimate comparison is that the two are so fucking overpowered. But at least Kira was restrained at his spot by being just a Coordinator, while Banagher, at the end of Unicorn, is able to do what the fucking Moonlight Butterfly seems to do to enemies in games (at least, in cutscenes): disabling them without destroying, but with Banagher, he does it with a wave of a hand from the Unicorn in Destroy Mode. How does he have this much power? And don't tell me that it's the Unicorn, not Banagher, because the Unicorn is just a regular mobile suit in the hands of any Oldtype, but when Banagher is at the seat, he's somehow the ultimate pilot that would put Amuro fucking Ray to shame. Hell, he didn't even have that much control over his Newtype abilities but he somehow does what Amuro did in CCA with the asteroid (and may I remind you that Amuro has had full control over his abilities for at least 14 years before CCA), but with the Nahel Argama and the Garencias.
 * Is Ple 2 alive or not?!:
 * Okay, how is Ple 2 alive after Gundam ZZ? I don't know if I'm supposed to consider Gundam EVOLVE non-canon or not, but based on Bandai saying any animated work is canon, that raises the question of how did Ple 2 survive. See, in ZZ, Ple 2 got killed protecting Judau and guiding him outside of Side 3, but in one episode of Gundam EVOLVE showed at the end that she survived as she appears before Judau in a Qubeley Mass Production unit.
 * The Story of Gundam Unicorn:
 * So, let me get this straight... The event that started the Universal Century, the mass deportation of humanity into space because of the Earth being overpopulated, was not that at all? It was the hope that humanity would evolve in the environment of space to lead the rest of humanity forward into the future? Um, bullshit. The Federation, no matter the era or decade, is a corrupt government that's only interested in the Earth's people and having control over the spacenoids, as evident of why the One Year War, the Gryps Conflict, all of the Neo Zeon Conflicts, AND the conflicts against both the Crossbone Vanguard and the Zanscare Empire even happened. No-one in the Federation, especially the higher ups (besides for General Revil, but he died so that's not an option) do not care what the people of space think or feel about anything, and, if anything, the Titans basically invoked this point of view with physical force, to the point where they were out of control and were willing to kill the people of Earth as long as it contributed to the war against the AEUG. But let's give this a chance to develop, maybe it'll mean something. Okay, the colony of Laplace is destroyed, and Syam Vist is the only survivor. Why did he survive that damn explosion of the colony? And how did he survive? Was he sitting on the furthest seat away from the blast radius that hit the small transport ship? Anyway, he finds the Universal Century Charter in space. How did he end up where it was? And how did the Charter manage to be left unscratched by a fucking EXPLOSION? Then we skip to the year 0096, when this fucker's still alive. He looked at least in his mid twenties during that, and it was the start of the UC calendar, so this guy is in his 110s now? Damn, he must be getting alot of expensive health care. Well, as we find out, he's blackmailing the Federation so he would be so wealthy that he has a salary higher than anyone in history without even lifting a finger, so he might actually have the money to have him get the technology to live a thousand years.
 * The Hyaku Shiki got amputated with a beam saber:
 * Banagher Stopped Gryps 2:
 * ​No. Just... Just no. Banagher has finally ripped apart the final shed of realism in Gundam that started being ripped when Zeta Gundam came out. While Zeta and everything afterwards had some semblance of realism to them, and yes, that does include ZZ, Victory, Char's Counterattack, G, Wing, Endless Waltz, X, Turn A, and even SEED and SEED Destiny, Unicorn has finally broken the realistic world of the Universal Century. First of all, how did Banagher know how to make that giant shield made of psychic energy? This is a big problem because it was literally only a few hours ago when Banagher fully awoke as a Newtype and started learning about his powers. This goes up with the question of how Banagher did something an experienced Newtype could only do when he pulled the Garencias into space.
 * Second of all, how did RIDDHE know how to make that giant shield made of psychic energy?! While I'm 25% willing to believe that Banagher is the Ultimate Newtype and he could do shit normal Newtypes like Amuro could do easily, how does Riddhe, a human being that was slightly modified into a Cyber-Newtype so he could use the Banshee Norn at all, be able to do this? How does he even know how to this at all? And guess what? He forces himself to awake as a full-fledged Newtype while making the shield. Apparently, any human being can will themselves to be a Newtype if they just believe it enough, like in a fucking children's show.
 * Third of all, how does Banagher know how to use his shields like that? If you remember, the Unicorn's three shields go in front of the Unicorn itself to make as one of the psychic shields that blocks the Gryps 2's laser blast. So how does Banagher know how to do any of this? First is he having the ability to communicate with others from long distance within just a few days, pull the Garencias only just the next day, learn how to control the Unicorn's Destroy Mode like Ple and Ple 2 with their Qubeleys. You know, Ple and Ple 2, who learned how to do this by either experience or from the Flanagan Institute, while Banagher learned out of FUCKING NOWHERE. He then learns how to make that shield, THEN do the same thing, but WITH HIS SHIELDS. This is just some kind of bullshit, and don't you DARE try to hand wave this away by arguing that his daddy, while making him a Cyber-Newtype when he was a child, implanted the memories of doing this shit in him that would only awaken when he comes into contact with the Unicorn. Because number 1, this was around the early 0080's of the UC timeline, and such tech only came around during the mid 0080's, and number 2, it is COMPLETELY impossible to implant the abilities of a FUCKING NEWTYPE into a human's memories, and on when he was making Banagher into a Cyber-Newtype, HOW DID THIS FUCKER GET THIS EQUIPMENT?! This shit was made around the same time the Murasame Institute made the memory implanter, you know, THE MID DOUBLE-OH EIGHTIES OF THE UC TIMELINE?! I want to fucking know where this guy got the tech to make Banagher a Newtype! ... ... ...But now to the main event...
 * The final rip to Gundam's realism... HOW DID BANAGHER AND RIDDHE STOP GRYPS 2?!?!?! I don't care if you use psychic shields or some shit like that-THIS IS A COLONY LASER YOU'RE AGAINST. You are dead on arrival when it comes to a fully charged Gryps 2 being fired DIRECTLY AT YOU. It's like Gundam Unicorn is trying to top the SEED and SEED Destiny moments when Mu La Flaga managed to stop a Lorengrim and Tanhauser shot with the Strike/Perfect Strike and the Akatsuki and save the Archangel. I mean, this is a carbon copy of the scene, but changed in various details to make it only visually different, but on paper, it's the same situation: a Gundam shields a ship from a massively destructive laser beam with itself. Replace the Archangel with Industrial 7, replace the Strike/Perfect Strike/Akatsuki with the Unicorn, the Banshee, and the Unicorn's shields, and replace the Dominion's Lorengrim/Minerva's Tanhauser with fucking Gryps 2. By doing this, you've made Gryps 2 into just a long range weapon, instead of a weapon of mass destruction like it's supposed to. Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention... HOW DO THE UNICORN, BANSHEE, AND NONE OF THE SHIELD MELT!?!?!?!? This is a COLONY LASER, you know. This is a FUCKING COLONY LASER, which involves BEAM technology! You saw those two Neo Zeon ships get fucking annihilated in the blast, and they're stronger than the normal mobile suit, so how does these three objects survive being blasted point-blank range by a COLONY LASER? I mean, they are at the epicenter of the blast, which is the hottest point of such a thing, and all we ever see is the Unicorn's armor being chipped away. We never see the shields suffering any damage, and we only see Riddhe suffering from the G-forces of having a COLONY LASER blasted into his face, and not any damage to his suit.

After Colony

 * Heero Yuy - The Most Boring Character Ever:
 * ​Heero Yuy or, as I like to call him, Heero Yuy no-not-that-one, in my opinion is one of the most blandest dickbags to have ever appeared in Gundam. Here's why: he has no personality. Here's the thing, the reason why we find a character funny, interesting, bad, a douchebag, or irritating is simply because of their personality, but Heero has no kind of flare or passion to him. He's simply a white tile with a face graffitied onto its flat, monotone surface. You may think he's a badass, but his actions and his way of thinking is the sort of thing that a five year old thinks is a badass. Fuck, he's like a carbon copy of Golgo 13 and Chirico Cuvie, or at least, an attempt to copy these two in subtle ways like personality and in literal ways like literally ripping off scenes and just changing them slightly. But here's the thing: Heero trying to be like Chirico fails simply because Chirico actually has some kind of personality, and most importantly, a sense of danger. Because of Heero's emotionless ass, he doesn't have a sense of what's dangerous or not, like. when he self-destructed the Wing WHILE HE WAS ONBOARD. It doesn't make him badass, it makes him a fucking moron with a death-wish. But because of him having no sense of danger, any scene he's in instantly loses tension simply because we know he has plot armor, he knows he has plot armor, and he knows he's going to look awesome while doing it. Just to prove it to you, watch Endless Waltz up to the part when Wing Zero Custom destroy the bunker and then think this: is there any tension? Are the turrets really going to shoot down Heero?
 * Wing Gundam is a horrible Gundam:
 * Wing Zero is even worse:
 * Wing Zero Custom is EVEN WORSE:
 * Customs are worse:
 * ​While I'm accustomed to saying that Hajime made the original Gundams better, the Customs that appeared in Endless Waltz are just terrible. If you want any mention of Wing Zero, it'll be in this sentence and the next one. It's because the stupid shit with Wing Zero Custom is on top of this one, so just read that. Now, let's discuss the horrible changes to the Gundams with their customs.
 * Heavyarms Kai: The original Heavyarms Kai featured in the series was supposed to make the original Heavyarms more efficient in space. It was also given more of an edge with replacing its original gatlings with a model that has paired gatlings, allowing for twice the fun of bullet spamming and longer range. They also kept most of the Heavyarms' original weaponry (machine cannons, vulcans, homing missiles, micro-missiles, etc etc). As it's primarily a heavy weapons unit, it has very little close combat weapons, such as a knife. With the EW version, it had a jump in weapons storage. It had WAY more missiles, chest gatlings, and a second paired gatlings attached to its other arm. But as you may know, weaponry become paper weights once they run out of ammo. At least its got its army knife, right? Wrong. Hajime removed the army knife, presumely because it was useless with all the weapons at the Heavyarms Kai's disposal. Well, as I said already, weapons become paper weights once they run out of ammo, so it all comes down to the close combat armaments, weapons which do not need reloading unless you're Eva Unit 02 with a utility knife that can break off its blade and then just slide down more of it to use. But with the removal of the army knife, the Heavyarms Kai is even more ill-equipped to deal with close combat unless Trowa's willing to use the now emptied paired gatlings as whacking sticks. And hell, what if a mobile suit gets past the medium to long range attack and starts attacking at close range? Is the Heavyarms Kai's Gundalium Alloy supposed to take the abuse or is the Sandrock Kai supposed to rip that enemy to shreds for Trowa? In both occausions, it shows a reliance for either the specs of the suit or a reliance on other people, and in a situation like the Heavyarms Kai was in during Endless Waltz, it could of easily been taken out by a stealth unit if Trowa wasn't giving his A game material that day. At least with the army knife, Trowa would have something to use if a unit got close enough for the gatlings to be practically useless.
 * Sandrock Kai: The original Sandrock Kai that appeared in Wing is an upgrade of the original Sandrock to allow it to be used in space. It had several vernier thrusters installed all over its body and came equipped with a beam machine gun in case the close range-use mobile suit needed to be use for ranged combat. It also carried over the original's stuff, like the heat swords and the vulcans. For the EW version, it was only changed a bit. Its outer armor was different, the heat swords increased in length, the armor was improved, and it no longer had the beam machine gun. What? Hajime got rid of the Sandrock Kai's beam weapon? Why? I'm asking why because that was the only thing that made the series version capable of catching up with long range mobile suits. Without it, the thing can only be used for close range, and don't you dare bring up the vulcans. The vulcans are too weak for such use, and even if they weren't, the rounds are too small to do anything above chip damage.
 * Deathscythe Hell:
 * Altron:
 * The plot armor:
 * ​The special attribute that certain have seemed to equipped full-time, plot armor, for those who don't know, is a term to point out when a character survives something that's impossible for a normal person to survive. Now, Gundam hasn't suffered from plot armor much, especially since the Universal Century is all about being realistic about this kind of crap, which is why Tomino gets the nickname Kill 'em All Tomino. After Victory Gundam proved what I'm saying, G Gundam was made to be intentionally the Gundam equivalent to Dragon Ball Z, and that's fine because it's doing its own thing with the Gundam name. So any evidence of plot armor is just simply because the kind of stuff G Gundam is made up is layered in plot armor. But then Gundam Wing, the first "realistic" Gundam series since Tomino stopped having to produce and direct Gundam by force, is rifled in plot armor moments. Trying to pin down a single moment of such a thing is the same as trying to list every Gundam ever made and making a line of production connecting everything together in the way that it'll take so much time that it shouldn't even be done. I will, however, tell you about one of the most fucking blatant moment of plot armor that'll always stick out in my mind until I either die or suffer from Alzheimer's. During Wing, a character by the name of Lady Une, who was serving under Treize, tries to pull a coup d'etat while on the moon base owned by OZ. By the end of the episode, she is shot and she is killed. At least, we see her fall over on a console that she had been trying to hack into. Sometime after we're deep into the second half of Gundam Wing, she fucking reappears, only having suffered from a coma. What the fuck. While this is possible in real life, in writing and shows, this is just a major copout to the audience of the show.

 * Shinn Asuka, with the intelligence of a fruit-bat/Dunce-cap Shinn:
 * The Impulse-Freedom Fight in general:
 * The Destiny Gundam:
 * ​This section will have a lot of sub-sections to really express my hatred for this mobile suit and how much this thing was fucked on arrival.
 * Uninspired Mobile Suit Design:
 * ​I consider this mobile suit the most uninspired Gundam ever made. Not unoriginal, uninspired, meaning that it's ripping off various sources and not even attempting to deviate from what it was already used for. Now, about the Destiny Gundam. I honestly think the Destiny is the worst Gundam I've ever seen in my life, and that's in the same line as mobile suits like Wing Gundam, Wing Zero, Wing Zero Custom, Unicorn Gundam, and Banshee Gundam, and it wins this title in my mind for various reasons. One of those reasons is that it has no real identity of it's own, that everything about this Gundam is just copied and pasted from something else. The Destiny's design is ripped off from a total of SIX Gundams. Six fucking Gundams to make one mobile suit. Why is this necessary? I mean, granted, Gundam has been around, by the time I write this, for 35 years. A lot of times, people have to look back to past sources for new ideas, and that's fine. But to take it as far as taking from six different sources and just jumble them into one? By that point, what you've just made it have no identity of it's own, that everything about you just made it just a derivative of something else, and that you didn't even make an effort to do something different with said material. I mean, one to two references is fine enough, at least if you're staying original for the most part and not clinging to the referenced material that much. But if you past 3 references, you're crossing the line of creativity and you've gotta ask yourself "what am I doing? Am I just making a mix and match, or am I trying to make something original?" Once you hit 3 or more references, that's where you really get uninspired in terms of creativity, and that's exactly what happened to the Destiny Gundam. It does this for 6 different mobile suits from various timelines. These six are:
 * The LM314V21 Victory 2 Gundam
 * The SYSTEM ∀-99 ∀ Gundam
 * The GAT-X105+AQM/E-YM1 Perfect Strike Gundam
 * The F91 Gundam F91
 * The MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam
 * And the GF13-017NJ Shining Gundam
 * All six of those Gundam are what makes the Destiny what it is right now. The Wings of Light are clearly taken from the V2's wing flare, and how the wings of light disperse are like that of the Turn A's Moonlight Butterfly. With the Perfect Strike, it's very self explanatory. The Destiny's afterimages are clearly taken from the F91's afterimages. With the Zeta, I don't need to say anything, I'll just let the pics say it.
 * MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam.jpeg ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam.jpg
 * If you didn't notice, I'll say it. They literally copied the color scheme of it completely verbatim, AKA no changes what so ever, they just carbon copied it and pasted it right on there. And Shining Gundam's contribution to the Destiny? You can blame the dunce-cap wearing Shinn Asuka for that, using the Palma Fiocinas like a fucking idiot, pretending he's Domon doing Shining Finger and it somehow working without any explanation. And at the same time, he has proven that he's fully capable of using the Palma Fiocinas like they were supposed to be used, and everytime they were used afterwards just failed horribly for Shinn. My most loved moment of this was when he tried to CATCH BEAM SABERS WITH THEM in the final episode of Destiny (episode 49 for HD Remaster), and guess what? That move led to Shinn losing because the arm's of the Destiny blew up due to his stupidity. This is a weapon that's not even supposed to be referencing Shining Gundam, and yet, somehow it is! Back to the Perfect Strike if it wasn't obvious for you on how the Destiny rips that off, and it does it in another way the Destiny fails as a mobile suit: it has no innovation in it's weaponry and technology, and everything the Destiny has had on board it, has been done before and all done better. See, the reason why I said it was self-explanatory is because of this: look at the two side by side.
 * Perfect Strike Gundam (HD Remaster).png Destiny Gundam (Wallpaper).jpeg
 * The Destiny has everything the Perfect Strike has, only changing out variables as a lazy attempt to be original about it. The only difference in arsenal is that the Destiny has one extra boomerang, the Palma Fiocinas, and the weapons can fold. As you may already know, the Destiny Gundam wasn't designed to be Destiny Gundam. It was made for concepts of an all-in-one mobile suit for Kira to pilot during the second half of SEED. However, they scrapped it in favor for the Freedom Gundam because they couldn't figure out a good way of putting all of the packs together, but it was brought back in the form of the Destiny. Anyway, the weaponry. The Arondight, it's anti-ship sword, is just the Sword Strike's Schwert Gewehr, except it can fold. The Hyper Impulse Cannon is just the Launcher Strike's Agni except, like the sword, it can fold. The Flashedges are the Midas Messer except there's two on each shoulder instead of just one. The inclusion of the beam rifle and big booster pack AKA the wings are just a glorified version of the Aile Pack, and it's loadout for the Strike. And the one that makes no sense to me: the Destiny's arm shield being taken from the Sword Strike's Panzer Eisen Rock Anchor except it's just a simple arm shield, and really, what's the use of an arm shield when the Destiny has two Solodus Fulgor beam shields mounted on it's wrists that are more than capable of blocking both beam and physical attacks than what the arm shield can do. It's simply a dead-weight, and it's too much of a bother to even bring out into combat.

 * Palma Fiocina:
 * Shinn Finger:
 * Beam Physics in the Cosmic Era:
 * ​If you don't know by this point, beam weaponry in the Cosmic Era tried to be more realistic than previous Gundam shows. Basically, as an example, here's how the beam sabers work: beams are basically made by extending an electromagnetic bond over a long area and then stream super-heated beam particles into said bond to create an effective cutting weapon. This is basically the language used when describing anything involving the beam blade in Gundam. For example, Universal Century uses I-Fields for the bond and then fills the bond with dense, super-heated Minovsky particles to create a beam blade, and with something like Gundam 00, Anno Domini beam sabers use a positron field to form the blade and then fill it with GN Particles. As you may have noticed, it's just the same description, with different wording. But here's the thing, there's one thing that separates Cosmic Era beam sabers with that of the Universal Century/Generic Alt. Universe and Anno Domini: the beam blade does not have a repelling factor. In UC, due to the I-Field, beam sabers repelled each other, and in AD, GN Beam Sabers use positrons that act as a repelling barrier against beam-type weaponry. But in CE, beam sabers have nothing like that with them, so when if they ever tried to clash, they would pass through each other. This is ultimately proved when you take several examples from the Cosmic Era, like every time beam sabers are taken out, they're always blocked with a shield and never with another beam saber.

 * Lacus Clyne is one of the most hypocritical people ever to be seen in a series. She speaks of wanting peace with everyone, and wants every faction and nation to get along. What do you think she does to achieve this goal? Maybe she goes into diplomatic discussions and tries to find a middle grou-HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHA!!!! YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT SHE'S GONNA DO-AHAHHAHAHAHAHHAA!!!! Ahhhhh, she's going to FORCE everyone into her views of pacifism, whether they like it or not. And she's got a capable force to do such forcing, like the Clyne Faction, the Three-Ship Alliance, Orb Union backing her, and, of course, Mister Beam Spam himself, Kira Jesus Yamato, wrapped around her pinky finger like a ring. And you know what? She gets what she wants in the end anyway. In SEED, this bullshit manages to take out Patrick Zala's regime with ZAFT, take out fucking GENESIS, and with almost none of the Three Ship Alliance falling. And in Destiny, she really fucking wins as she manages to repeat history again, only with the bad guys dying in the end, have remnants of the pilots from the Minerva join the Clyne Faction/Orb Union, BE PUT IN CHARGE OF ZAFT ITSELF, and get the world she wants. All of the pieces are her favor so much that it makes me think that she's really just an evil bitch and all that niceness and peace crap was just bullshit after bullshit to get a really high chair of power so she'd get to do whatever she wants, and Patrick & Durandal were just steps on the stairs to her. It really makes me wonder how screwed the Cosmic Era is after SEED Destiny, since she's got everyone 'cept for most of the factions on Earth under her complete control, including Mister Beam Spam, Confused Athrun, Dunce-Cap Shinn, and Useless Cagalli.

Advanced Generation

 * The Structure of this Three Generation Story:
 * Part 1:
 * While, on a personal level, I enjoyed Gundam AGE for it's animation, fights (most of them, anyway), and mobile suits, the story is the thing that killed it. Note on the title, it's just one of the things that's wrong. First of all, the characters, oh god are they nearing the intellect of the people from the Cosmic Era. It seems to me that the only real intelligent people in the Advanced Generation are Captain Grodek (who's killed), Flit Asuno (who dies of old age), and Captain Einus (I do feel sorry for this girl). In Grodek's case, he basically was the man for Generation 1, with Flit in a close second, since Grodek was basically capable of rendering the small army the Vegans (or the UE during AG115) sent into being completely useless. He also planned ahead, and while he brought us the unforgivable arc of Generation 1, he still was able to think very intelligently and managed to outsmart the Vegans. It's times when he does this that makes me wonder if he's actually a Newtype. For Flit, he basically designed the AGE-1, the AGE-Builder, the AGE-System, and everything else related to the AGE-Device, and by Generation 2 and 3, he managed to reach Grodek levels of intelligence, that is until he was convinced by Kio to not to outright kill the Vegan people. Say what you will about them being human still and it being inhumane to do so, but I can argue that it's justified since it seems that everyone from the Mars colony is completely insane if they're willing to believe the words EzelCUNT-I mean Ezelcant and go into a homicidal rage on the enemy based just on the belief of living on earth. Trust me, these people have been drinking Ezelcant's Kool-aid, and they are not well. As for Natora Einus (poor girl must of been picked on as a child), she's intelligent because she knew her limits and knew that captaining the fucking Diva would be too much for her, but she got stuck into the position anyway. Because of it, she tries to improve herself and she actually starts learning how to be a good captain, at least good enough to be above the thought level of our resident worse captain ever Murrue Ramius.
 * Part 2:
 * The second sub-problem is the pacing of the story. If you don't know, the director was one from Level 5 (the company Sunrise decided to team up with to bring us AGE), and if you don't know, Level 5 is a game producing company who've made many critically acclaimed games, like for example the Professor Layton series. I feel the need to repeat this because it sounds VAGUELY important. The director has only directed VIDEO GAMES, not TV shows or animes. Because of his inexperience, he decided to direct the series as if it were a bunch of in-game cutscenes. And for anyone who's watched AGE, you know that the effect he was looking for was a success since it felt like you should've pulled out a controller and try to skip the unimportant cutscene so you could kill the boss. There's also another problem in pacing, and that's with the conveying of the length the show has. You know with a 12 episode anime or show, they have little time to dick around with the story, but with a 50 episode anime, or like a shounen jump anime, the pacing goes at snail's speed. While AGE is 50 episodes, three sections of the episode count is devoted to the Generation Arcs, and the first generation is just 15 episode long, but the generation makes itself act like a standard 50 episode show. And it wastes time in one minor story arc that could of just been three episodes, but it lasts until the end of the generation. It's just a pointless waste of time, and guess what? It's a problem that lasts for the entirety of AGE.
 * Part 3:
 * The third problem with story is that it's obvious. Obvious that AGE wants to be the Universal Century, and I don't mean like the mobile suits look like the ones from the UC timeline, I mean scenes are literally cut out of any story of the Universal Century from 0079 to fucking Crossbone and then pasted into the story of AGE. Let's count the ways if you don't believe me here. There's the attack of the Nora Colony (and I know that's a staple in Gundam), when Flit has to go onto Woolf's mobile suit in space, the mobile suits, pirates in mobile suits, one main character in the pirate mobile suit group. It just makes it out to be a rip off of the UC timeline than an original continuity that either exists in it's own universe or is apart of the Dark History of Turn A.
 * Part 4:
 * This part is on the fact that every woman in the Advanced Generation is useless, with few exceptions. All the love interests for the protagonists are ultimately useless to the plotline, except for Yurin who (after dying of course. In Gundam, all the useful and smart people die) indirectly puts Flit on the path of wanting to kill all of the Vegans. Millais may be a standard captain and does her job good, but she ends up useless in the big picture. Unoa is useless except as a medic on board the Diva in Generation 3. Natora is one exception because it was in her era of captaining that the Vegan threat was gone, and she tried to learn how to captain a whole crew. The female pilots are also useless, and we get most of them during Generation 3. You know, the generation that's referencing ZZ. You know, the 1987 series that had the most useful female characters and pilots in all of Gundam?
 * Part 5:
 * This is about the various characters that appear during the series. You can tell they had difficulty trying to fix in enough characters to make a 3-Generation story since after a generation, we never hear from some people ever again. Oh, we get back our main characters like Flit, Desil, Grodek (before he ultimately dies), Asemu, Kio, Ezelcant, Zeheart etc etc, but most if not all of the minor cast in each generation never comes back for even a cameo. Largan only reappears in Memories of SID, Millais seemingly disappears after Generation 2, the rest of the minor crew disappear elsewhere, for both Generations 1 and 2, Arisa just disappears after being mentioned by Wootbit, her son, in Generation 3, etc etc etc. And guess what? They even tried to establish sub-plots for some of these people, and they never get any canon answer to give us since the characters they're attached to are now gone from the equation.
 * Kio Asuno - AG's Kira Yamato:
 * The AGE-FX - AG's Strike Freedom:

Build Fighters

 * The Star Build Strike's Absorb Shield:
 * There's nothing really wrong with it technical-wise, but there's is a sort of problem I have for more personal reasons. See, I designed this thing (TKK/M-0000 Ikaruga Gundam) in about august of 2012 as a sort anti-Ransac unit and I did this with the ability to use the enemy's beam fire as refined, repurposed energy to fuel it and to be used in conjunction with the more power-draining weapons like the Rotary Beam Launchers on the shoulders, and the feature would be shield-like in existence, protecting the body while at the same time, absorbing the shots into it's power supply. WELL GUESS WHAT? Bandai decided to include, in Gundam Build Fighters, nearly two years after I designed my Ikaruga Gundam, the Star Build Strike Gundam, with it's Absorb Shield. That's my only thing with the shield, but otherwise, it's perfectly fine by me.
 * Gundam Heaven:
 * ​Read the final part of the section below this one to get what I'm saying. So if the dead of the Gundam universe go to the Build Fighters world, does that mean there's a Sei, Reiji, Mao, Nils, Fellini, Aila, and many of the other original characters in the official Gundam timeline? That would be really freaky, and kind of dark because this world is where the DEAD go. It's these kinds of things that makes you think, and what makes you think about what might be talked about in the second season. It's also sad, though, that with all the character cameos that appear everywhere in Build Fighters, that it seems everyone in the actual timeline is dead. Except for the AGE people, strangely enough. While I know that it might be just that the rights to AGE (partly owned by Level 5) were a bit tricky to work into a show that has everything from Original Gundam to Gundam 00, it's still something to be explained in-universe. And AGE is not there not because Bandai didn't want to remind people of it, and I know this because they showed the titular G-Savior. You NEVER show something like that outside of the crap it spawned from if you're smart, and it's WAY worse than AGE could ever hope to be.
 * This section:
 * While I hate when logic is thrown out the window in the Gundam series, GBF seems to want to be different in that regard by bringing in a level of magic into it's world, and it already did this by the first episode, and explained it up until it's final episode. Because of this, I wouldn't be complaining about the moments of non-logic since the whole series is about being above logic. Or below, I haven't decided yet. And hell, it might not even take place completely in our world since the director (and I think most of staff on board) considered it a heaven for the people that died in the actual Gundam timeline.
