IIRC, they are made of metal, yet act like normal bird feathers. Because the Wing universe runs on raw batshit insanity.

If only Rau had existed in Wing instead of SEED, he might have felt content with the world and let everyone live.

Nah, he'd have started his own Rau Faction to fight another civil war in OZ/Romefeller and then done the same speech he did to Kira to Heero, except Heero would have shot back and it would have been beautiful.

Edit: Listen to his words (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOpN1r-C_CM, and don't watch the video, it's the most horrendous thing I've ever seen) and then imagine a three-way battle between him, Heero and crazy Zechs. :allears:

Ocarina of Time came out for the N64 while Wing was airing on Cartoon Network so I always imagined Link was hitching a ride with Heero when he did fast travel.

The way he says "in the name of justice...and peace," and the way it sounds like he's spitting as he says peace. I always loved that. This narrator knows the truth, and he ain't happy about it.

I sense someone talking about... GUNDAM!
I've never liked the WZC, I really don't like the angel wings.I'm fond of the Wing Ver Ka with its much more vibrant colours though.

I think the most amazing result might be sending him against Mikazuki.

Someone like Loran might try to argue with him.

Mika would just shrug, stab him in the cockpit, and maybe think about it later.

I mean, his response to the standard "You like killing!" was "Huh. Maybe. But you need to die, so it's not like that's a bad thing here." before bisecting a dude.

I absolutely love that as well. I was just watching that narration video yesterday too.

RIP, Mr. Lane. You were excellent.

It's weird that they aren't putting it up on Daisuki like they've been doing with The Origin. Even Daisuki is a much better option than being buried in a Youtube channel that few know about.

Honestly, since they're already at the point where he can seemingly control a MS as an extension of his body via his prosthetics, assuming both he and the professor survive, they're less than five years away from full cyborg limbs, so it's maybe not that dire in the end, maybe? :ohdear:

Moon moon arc isn't that bad.

I liked moon moon. The first ten episodes were terrible and moon moon was a relief for me that the whole show wasn't gonna be scooby do with giant robots.

The idea that less than a century after the development of space colonies, one of the colonies would have a completely ingrained luddite movement and somehow still maintain the colony to livable status is just...really, really dumb. The fact that it was a two-parter and then was referenced as a "lesson about how people can live together in peace" despite being visited in the middle of a holy war was icing on the cake.

I thought it was really interesting and the idea that the colony could still be functional without any support less ridiculous than a boatload of other things in gundam. I really love the idea of a big hosed up colony and advanced technology being forgotten and taken for granted unknowingly though. It reminded me a lot of the megaman legend ruins in some ways.

It's like "cool (dumb) space religion" versus "goddamn kids stealing gundams CONSTANTLY and running off to do poo poo" which is about 70 percent of tomino gundam shows, I'm way cooler with dumb colony luddites.
