Makes no sense to me
Started watching Gundam Wing some a few weeks ago after remembering it as a kid. I never finished it but wanted to check it out.
I’m two episodes from the end and maybe it’s just me but the story makes no sense to me. I have listed the events chronologically below:-
- The Gundams were sent to defeat OZ to liberate the colonies.
- OZ take takes over the alliance, fair enough they are the bad guys
-OZ is obtaining support in space and helping the colonies against the alliance
-There is a split with OZ and Romerfeller. This is because Romerfeller want to use dolls and Trieze finds battle and war beautiful? He finds it to be part of the human spirit. This was when it started not making sense to me. Sure I can see that if you are fighting for liberation or freedom, but OZ are fighting for domination. Really going to atatch a moral value to fighting
- Romerfeller take over and defeat rebels aligned with Trieze.
- They bring in Relena as a symbol so they can control, she gets usurped by Trieze once You bite Fang emerge.
- The gundams don’t allign with White Fang even though they both want to fight for the colonies. In one of the recent episodes one of the pilots even says should we not fight alongside white fang? Before deciding to take him on against Epyon
- White Fang being rejected by the Gundams bring on Zechs who wants to devestate Earth so they know the horror of war and commit to pacifism? I don’t think it works that way WW2 was a result of WW1 and the defeat Germany suffered. The people became radicalised and voted for Hitler. Israeli Jews invaded Palestine with the justification they suffered atrocities in Europe. History has shown the writers of the show, that mindset doesn’t work.
Maybe I’m dumb I don’t know but the constant switching of faction enemies is throwing me off, Heero was at one point fighting on Triezes army. The White fang group only became radical when Zechs became commander. I don’t understand why the Gundams didn’t allign with White Fang.
