Now before I turn all of the Gundams in to scrap, one last thing I'd like to say about some other plot things that failed.
A million fucking factions and a political plot. Now politics are one of my least favorite things in the whole wide world. Gundam Wing has so many factions that you don't care about doing shit that is supposedly important. 0079 only had two factions that you had to care about, Zeon and the Federation. Zeta had three major powers, AEUG, Axis Zeon and the Titans. G Gundam wins, since while countries were involved, it was mostly a simple to understand sporting event and the villain was an entity than it was an organization. Gundam Wing has so many vague factions that I couldn't keep track of it, listen to this shit. The gundam pilots, united earth sphere derpdedoo, OZ, the Sanc Kingdom, White Fang, Treize Faction, Preventers, the army run by the 4 year old girl, the army of arabs, the Derpefeller organization, the colonies the list goes on and on, and they expect you to follow this shit. Because you can't follow who is doing what you can't follow the politics so you don't know why who is fighting who and why. It's more tangled than spaghetti thrown in to bush.
Number 3 : Mobile Suits (This isn't really a problem but I'll number it anyway)
I hate this fucking retarded text editor so hard.
So anyway, I established already what was wrong with the action in Wing, and that's not really the fault of the person who made the designs, both in universe and IRL. Now I'm going to talk about the Gundams and what strengths and flaws they have, in the same order as the characters.
Offended I am, what is doing here : Shenlong and Altron aka ''Nataku''
So these two fuckers are Wufei's suits. These things offend me since they serve abso-fucki-lutely no true purpose. Supposedly they were made with some sort of martial arts philosophy and this thing is made exclusively for melee. Superfantastich, except there's like 3 more suits focused entirely on melee, and this isn't G Gundam where a melee unit being out of range isn't a liabilty. Okay nether is it in Wing but if it was reality it would.
So I never understood what purpose this thing has. I read that supposedly it has a state of the art detection system that detects things like weaknesses and cliched shit like that, except it was never mentioned or used, but maybe just since Wufei is a tard.
Shenlong/Altron are both recycled and slightly changed versions of the Dragon Gundam from G Gundam, hell Altron and Shenlong both mean dragon, anyway.
This suit baffles me just as much as it's user and I don't know if the people knew what the fuck they were doing when they included it in the show.
Bland and equally pointless, but less offending : Sandrock
With Sandrock the idea was that it was made for desert combat. Yes, awesome, except when you're fighting a global superpower all around the world, then you might end up in say, in the arctic or a jungle or even underwater, or in space. Also this thing is supposed to be the most well armored one, but since all of the Gundams are invincible until plot needs them not to be, this means nothing.
Another thing about it is that once again it's a melee unit. Okay sure, later on they give it a submachine gun, but I hardly call that well armed.
It's not really pointless, instead it's more of just a bad idea for the situation. I do like the Endless Waltz redesign on the right, though.
My beloved : Heavyarms
This thing I just love. For one thing, It's a concept that makes sense and is realistic, This thing is just a fucking beast. It has a million guns on it. I think I like the original better because of it's colors but I also like the custom because it has even more guns. And they thought about it and added a melee weapon too.
My only complaint is that it doesn't get enough screen time compared to the other pieces of shit.
A mishandled good concept : Deathsychte and Deathsychte Hell
Okay so Deathsychte was intended for stealth. This is good. I like stealth. It has a cloaking system that makes it invisible. Cool.
However, tards still got their hand on it, which is why it got a name with Death in it and armed with a gaudy sychte. On closer inspection, this thing is another G Gundam recycle, but better masked than Shenlong.
I can't bring myself to hate on it, but I do feel that they could have done a better job when it comes to something that is supposed to be stealthy. The sychte thing and the wings and everything just seems too gaudy for something that isn't supposed to attract attention.
The Winged Devil : Wing, Wing Zero, Wing Zero Custom
Okay so these two are Wing and Wing Zero, the two titular mobile suits. Besides the uber-thick plot armor there's not really a lot I can say about it, since it's otherwise a typical main Gundam. It has the paintjob and the design and the armament. Also like Zeta, this thing transforms.
Wing Zero was specificly stated not to be an upgrade, altough in terms of principle it basicly is. Wing Zero's unique feature would be the ZERO system, which feeds combat data directly to the brain. But it also makes you go crazy because thick human monkey craniums can't use it effectively. The ZERO system makes you hallucinate. This one gets passed around between every significant pilot in the series and for some reason they think that the hallucinations can give them advice on what to do. This all just reminded me of junkies passing around a needle and getting high.
Wing Zero Custom was the redesign from the Endless Waltz OVAs/movie. This thing entirely forefits any sort of realism that Wing Zero might had had in order to attract bitches and fags instead with it's giant pimp wings and helped pave the way for the gay sparkly magic gundams from SEED and SEED Destiny.
The wings on the previous versions were for the transformation in to the jets that the previous ones had. Wing Zero Custom does not have a transformation in the OVA, and nether does the model. Supposedly in like the Gundam Evolve shorts this thing could transform, but the transformation was laughable and made it look like a dildo.
The Motherfucking Talllgeese : Tallgeese I, II and III
The Tallgeese is badass, since while it is still very strong, unlike the gundams it has an actual flaw, but it's not since the designers were retarded.
This thing is brutal, This thing has very hard handling, so hard that if you're not careful, the speed of this thing will give you a heart attack or atleast break a few ribs with it's bone-crushing, raw power and speed. And with this I mean the pilot of the Tallgeese. If the Tallgeese had to fuck someone, they would be turned in to pudding in 15 seconds.
After this one there were two more Tallgeeses. II was Treize's suit, but there was nothing significant about it.
In Endless Waltz they made Tallgeese III, which is even more uninteresting, but they needed to give Zechs a mobile suit that was nether a gundam nor a grunt.
Closer to the Sazabi than it is to a Gundam : Epyon
This thing is fierce. It reminds me of a goddamn dragon. But if honest, I don't think this thing should be a gundam. You see, after G Gundam they had this trend of always giving everyone important a gundam. Let me remind you that in Universal Century, Gundams were high-end mobile suits of a specific brand, but this didn't mean that anything that's not a gundam can't hold the candle to it. There's a lot of mobile suits that were uber without being gundams in UC. Zeong, The O, Quebley, Sazabi, Sinanju, Kashatrya, the list goes on and on.
Besides the face, this thing doesn't look like a Gundam at all.
However, they did succeed with this one to make a melee unit that seemed nether misguided, stupid or pointless.
Then there's a bunch of grunts named after the zodiac but since none of them are good, there's no reason to talk about them.
I suppose this is the end of the Wing thing. Altough I may write something about Endless Waltz specificly.
Yeah do the EW thing, since I think it deserves special attention
