There are precious few comparison points in Gundam for "oldtype who beats Newtypes"

It is also, to be fair, the one good idea that came out of age.

Not a great execution, by any measure, but 'oldtype pilot with daddy issues white knuckling his way into competing with space psychics' is at least compelling.

That said, I will not stand for erasure of my boi Yazan.

Yazan straight up refused to become a newtype, everytime he almost has a flash he's like "gently caress that i just wanna murder, not be connected to others"

I keep seeing people reference that but I don't remember it at all. Yazan was just such a nothing character to me when I watched Zeta

Yazan grabs a guy's dick right before a sortie, then tells the guy he sucks for not even being at half mast when they're about to go kill people.

There's a lot of things to say about Yazan, but "forgettable" is an odd pick.

He's general purpose Sting, thanks to the turtle tattoo. And he comes back in Return of Johnny Ridden, where he's back to standard after ZZ's weirdness.

If he's general purpose Sting when do I get to see Yazan as a very threatening bartender with an idiot cardshark son?

See now the thing is you could be bullshitting me or you're telling the truth and I wouldn't be able to tell. There's enough random manga sidestories out there that a Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Gundams story probably does exist.

It's not a thing yet, but he does have to look after a bratty teenage cyber-newtype for Gopp in Return of Johnny Ridden, so we're well on the way.

Two weeks isn't really enough time to view 50 episodes unless you're a dedicated binge watcher.

Of course nobody outside of the US was allowed to watch it either so I'm gonna chalk this one up to another questionable decision by Bandai.

Jesus, the sameface in this is so bad it unironically looks like Cagalli is hitting on Lacus

In fact with the sound off I just choose to believe this is the story of Kira's sister dating his girlfriend and Kira being sad about it.

I want to interpret the story as this blond dude is hitting on Lacus so hard that it starts Kira's villain arc because he'd rather become a Gundam wielding tyrant than ask her if she likes new boy more than him.

It's weird how that happens. At the start of SEED the characters all look vaguely like Clamp characters and they're just kind of generically fine. But once you hit the halfway point they start to soften up like someone left them too close to the space heater. So by episode 30 Kira's a super fuzzy squishy cartoon. There's one episode shortly before he gets his new gundam where he has a flash back to earlier in the series and you can just see the edges vanish from everyone's face and their hair expand like palm fronds.

As somebody that actually really likes SEED (gently caress Destiny though) and also loves trainwrecks I am very excited for the movie.

I mean look at this Nintendo Switch looking footage, it's glorious:

What are the chances this will involve (...or even mention) the third generation of Coordinators being sterile?

Is there a number below absolute zero?

No, it's entirely possible. For all that people say it was forgotten, the main villain's motivation in Destiny was born of that basic fact. It could be an actual issue they have to address at some point.
