And some surprise Demi Barding thrown in here too!
I’m really going to need some glass display cases bc I don’t want to think about how I would clean all those grooves
ANYWAY! The MGEX was a phenomenal build. I firmly believe that if you feel comfortable with at least MG’s then you can absolutely build this with 0 issues. The entire process is so incredibly smooth and holy cow ALL the important bits are undergated so there’s like almost 0 nubs that show.
Maybe one day I’ll get the MGEX Unicorn bc I’m a slut for Unicorn suits but that’s like an extra $100 beyond what the Strike Freedom cost so…probably no time soon.
Demoted from protagonist and replaced by last season's hero, had his character arc destroyed in favor of making him a villain and constantly being framed as wrong, screwed over by internal politics of production
Propaganda:
Shinn's arc, had it been allowed to play out properly, would have been a good story about knowing when you're manipulated and overcoming grief.
It's also worth mentioning that he actually NEARLY WON a fight against the previous season's protagonist, but plot armor saved him.
One last note, Shinn almost was able to talk down his love interest- who was, just for the sake of making it simple, under mind control. She was about to disarm and come out when the previous season's protagonist came in, destroyed her Mobile Suit, and was framed as being in the right despite completely obliterating a delicate situation.
TL;DR: SHINN ASUKA DID NOTHING WRONG.
I started watching Gundam Seed, and more than having to sit through almost 100 episodes of anime, the scariest part of the experience is that I might end up liking it
Today on "gundam has always been gay" i give you this panels from molester man, a manga set in 2004 and they are commenting about how homoerotic Seed Destiny looks.
so i was watching Gundam SEED Destiny and i saw one of the sexiest moves I've ever seen a mecha do during battle
like. HELLO?
throwing your rifles into the air. activating both shields and parry a beam sable with your bare hands. shoot your rail guns to take it away from your rival. and then catch back your rifles while posing in a threatening way?
