Why do people keep trying to use Zeon in this universe? How many times do these Zeon groups have to fail before they just go to another goddamn brand already?

Well Technically this is still only the second group of Zeons guys. It fell then rebranded itself as Neo Zeon and it's still Neo Zeon which has simply declined a lot.

Zeon being the Axis analogue is something that a disturbing number of writers keep forgetting.

Yes but Neo Zeon was never outright beaten just put into retreat twice. (And lost it's leadership twice.)

I would say that Gundam being good at least one time does in fact disprove the theory that Gundam was never good.

Well they are about to fight a wheelchair bound man. Sadaso was missing an arm as well. All three were disabled in some way. (Though Sadaso probably had it the best with working legs and a cool nen hand.)
