It had a very strong anti-war message. This isn't different from any other Gundam series, except they made the anti-war message the main plot point.
On the other hand, I hate Marina being so preachy (Preachy to the point of stupidity), so maybe you're on to something.

What do you mean? kira was the exact opposite. He complained quite a bit early on in SEED, about how he's the one who has to protect everyone else, but once he got Freedom, he essentially went "Screw both sides. I'm doing my own thing now. Anyone has a problem with that, take it up with my nuclear-powered Gundam."Strike X105 wrote:Exia sucked
What was wrong with Exia? Not a whole lot of Gundams specialize in close-range combat, and Exia actually pulled it off perfectly with that sweet sword/beam pistol combo.Strike X105 wrote:Now Kyrios...that's a badass suit though.
Kyrios really didn't do it for me. It's just the Zeta, except orange and with a claw arm built into its shield. Arios is the same way.Strike X105 wrote:I just wish they'd do something different.
Which kind of contradicts what you said about Kyrios. Although, Virtue/Nadleeh and Seravee/Seraphim, a Gundam built into another Gundam, correct me if I'm wrong, but that's something that doesn't occur too often.

Hell, I'd take the Shining/God Gundam over Exia. Poor aesthetics, mediocre ability. But since it was part of a team, I guess it had to be limited, otherwise why would you need a team?

What do you mean mediocre ability? Exia didn't have any trouble unless Setsuna was going up against Ali or Graham (Who are essentially Yazan and Char anyway), or against other Gundams, or equivalent MSs. In any case, hero Gundams always get their asses kicked at one point or another. Amuro got beat down all the time, even AFTER 0079.Strike X105 wrote:Of course, I wasn't referring to MS's and their designs at all, I think you misunderstood.I like seeing Zaku's become Ginn's, etc. I was referring to storylines, characters and plots.
I admit while the second half of 00 is clearly Zeta, the first half is pretty original; An organization with a small team of Gundam pilots begins destroying things until humanity decides to put an end to war. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that's ever been done before.
In any case, you can't blame 00 for reusing characters and plots without criticizing every other AU series.

Strike X105 wrote:Just because the Kyrios has a wave runner mode, doesn't necessarily mean it's a Zeta KO. Influenced yes, KO though? No. Kyrios isn't nearly as powerful as the Zeta was.

Strike X105 wrote:I disagree. Compare the 1/100 Kyrios to the 1/100 Zeta. Zeta is bigger.
