Why does everyone hate gundam wing

Both shows have good music though. CCP lied and people died. Settle down. User Info: SonicSP. There are people who hate those shows but it's not like everybody hates them.

The same can be said of most Gundam shows. Everybody has opinions At least, for Seed not all of it anyways though Destiny is very generally disliked from what I've seen. This is a signature. User Info: -rilo-. Well for me, Wing only has a few good characters, fights were mostly boring, and the politics were kinda lame. Enjoyed SEED for the most part though. Destiny pretty as tho Oh and Turn A best Goondam by far.

In fact, one could argue that this show probably wouldn't be shown in a prime timeslot on the Cartoon Network in this contemporary era of cartoon television. It was on Toonami when it aired in , but these days, it would likely have been reserved for the "late night" block due to its content.

There was numerous deaths, a near suicide shown on screen, a massacre within a training center, colonies getting destroyed and it even features one of the Gundam pilots literally going insane,.

Gundam Wing did not shy away from showing the evil and darkness of war and how it affected people. Another reason why it likely resonated with so many. A show like Mobile Suit Gundam Wing is only as good as its characters, and though there were many standouts, one that nearly eclipsed them all was Zechs Marquise, a man whose arc had more highs and lows than any other character in the series.

He's a man that wants revenge for his family, but also wants peace between the Earth and the colonies. However, his desire to save everyone often leads to him being on the wrong side of conflicts, including a period in which he leads the White Fang, who desire to wipe the world clean so that it can be reborn. That being said, he is a true warrior, which is why he eventually piloted the Gundam Epyon.

He used it with such precision and skill in the show that he became eternally connected to it, even piloting it during the episode "Death Battle" versus the White Tiger Zord. There are numerous political and militaristic themes that run throughout Mobile Suit Gundam Wing. There is oppression, revolution, resistance, coups, ascensions to thrones, assassinations and more. It's all shamelessly entertaining, but for a cartoon series ostensibly meant for children, it's also incredibly bold.

In fact, you could argue that just about every story element in the show is political in some fashion. The Gundams were made to stop the oppression of the OZ and the Alliance. Zechs joined the Alliance after his family was killed and wanted to bring them down from the inside. Almost every attack made by the Gundams was a mission to strike at the heart of the OZ and Alliance. The amount of detail put into this political storyline is incredible, and it paid of in spades. Whether it's a planned attack, a failed coup, or a straight-up act of revenge, if something big happens on Mobile Suit Gundam Wing , you see it happen, and you know something major will result from it.

Often, the characters themselves find themselves in unpredictable circumstances because of the actions of the others. Characters rarely catch a break in the world of Gundam Wing. In one of the most famous scenes, Gundam Pilot Wufei blows up a training academy run by Zechs and fan-favorite character Noin. After the attack, Noin fights Wufei and loses, prompting her to leave the Academy and get her own Mobile Suit to stop Wufei and the others.

Though it only lasted 49 official episodes, Mobile Suit Gundam Wing got a true sequel via the original movie Endless Waltz. This sequel took place one year after the series, and showed how the events of Gundam Wing had affected everything.

It also served as true and official ending to the series. The movie also updated the look of many of the Gundams, given them not only a more sleek look, but one that made them feel even more unique, and in some cases, terrifying in their form. There is spoiler[ a psycho guy who goes to a girls party and tells her "i'll kill you" , then one guy thinks he's the god of death, a guy with gravity defying hair whose in the circus, a english guy who hangs with a bunch of odd men in fez's, and a martial arts master who beats up helpless wolves and says " i hate fighting weak opponents, RIGHT ON!!!!

Gundam Wing is overrated, but still a good edition to the Gundam franchise. I don't hate Gundam Wing, but it gets incredibly dull very quickly. It starts off kinda interesting, but then the story gets bogged down about ten episodes in by poor pacing and bland, irrational, generally uninteresting characters. Perhaps if it were shortened to twenty-six episodes and the characters were given a quick booster shot of personality it could really be something, but as it stands you're better off just stcking with Endless Waltz.

The pacing problems are resolved and the characters are more appealing in small doses. Joined: 31 Jul Posts: Location: Philadelphia. I've always enjoyed Wing. I really enjoy the politics aspect of it, and it will always hold a special place in my heart as one of the animes I saw when I was first getting into the fandom.

Some people just can't let go of the past. The funniest thing is the people that are up in arms about Gundam SEED, because SEED is basically a flashier, high gloss remake of , and it guals the hell out of the hardliners that new fans can get basically the same story with far superior artwork, and considerable tightening and refinement.

Well, Wing is the first Gundam show I saw. It's not the best or the worst, but I respect it for bringing me in. I don't know, I just suppose it varies on other people's experiences and the such.

The character designs: As long as they're distinct, they don't necessarily make or break a show all on their own, but I just don't go for bishounen for the most part The mecha designs: These are machines of war, not sports cars.

There are lots of components in these designs that just don't make sense did the green circle on Wing's chest ever really do anything besides occasionally emit light? It's quite possible to create a utilitarian design that still looks nice, but Wing decided everything had to be all glossy. The characters: Personality helps. The politics and character motivations: I don't have a problem with political stories, but some of the stuff that went on in Wing was absolutely mind boggling.

Did anyone ever actually listen to what Zechs was saying? His arguments were absolutely nuts. A competent nine year old could have shut him down in a debate over the pros and cons of what he was trying to do with White Fang. Same to Relena, actually. Take a hint from the Soviet Union: idealistic theories don't work out in real life. I also didn't like that the mecha were basically invincible unless the story called for them not to be, and that any mecha that a Gundam pilot jumped into automatically became a god machine.

Anyone remember when Heero was in that Leo, his entire group was destroyed, and shots that normally blow up a Leo they seem to be highly explosive machines were just knocking him back? And then Noin drops Wing's buster rifle Wing's, not even Wing Zero's and Heero uses it to take out, in a single shot, the entire army of mobile dolls and these were Virgos, which had the planet defensor shields as seen on Mercurius, which were able to deflect a direct shot by Wing Zero's double buster rifle.

It bordered on the ridiculous.
