Heero I'm Right Here So Come Over Here and Kill Me
- Thread starter B-Dubs
- Start date
Also is it just me or do a lot of the dub voices sound way too old for the characters. Duo for example sounds 7 years older than he should be.
you should rewatch it OP because it's bizarre nonsense the whole way through. the way every female character is defined entirely by their relationship to a male character (including one developing a split personality because the guy she's trying to peg says he likes her when she puts on her fake ass nice persona for meetings), the way the main characters are just, like, straight up terrorists (there's this scene where purple haired commander is talking to Not!Char about how she trains all her teenage military cadets to value life and not kill needlessly or throw their lives away and then one of the hero characters shows up and starts blowing up said teens while they sleep), the way Relena becomes Queen of Earth for like two episodes. Nothing makes sense, time randomly jumps forward with no grounding, character motivations flip on a dime... it's wild.
I think it's a lot less weird without context. Like I can think of loads of situations where such a line would be reasonable. This is not any of those situations.
The love for the ages.
Gundam Wing is quite amusing, although by damn is it's mech design top tier (tallgeese 1 being GOAT worthy).
*goes into angst about why I can't kill*

"A lot more" is quite the stretch, but yeah, it cribbed pretty much any mecha show with biblical imagery. It's amazing how much better it turned out than either inspiration, though. Can't help but wonder how different Xenogears would have been if it had been developed after RahXephon. :D
Oh boy a Gundam Wing thread, time to post General Septum's dub voi-
WAT
WAT
Youtube's algo really has a visible effect on public discourse all at once.
The worst part is when the gundams all get upgrades that make them look worse.
Deathscythe gets weird wings and a shorter scythe with two blades on the same end, thus negating the purpose of a second blade.
Altron is just shenlong with two impractical stretchy arms and a gun turret...which negates the need for stretchy arms.
Zero is like the wing gundam but chunkier.
Heavyarms gets another barrell on its main gun...and nothing else.
Sandrock gets a handgun.
G gundam is better dragonball than anyhthing after the cell saga.
God I hated what I saw of Wing, absolutely every single main character aside from, I think Duo is his name, was horrible, but they gave him the shitty edgelord gundam and I just couldn't take that shit. Dropped the show mostly because of how boring Heero and irritating Relena was, but basically everything about it was awful.
Yeah the show is pretty silly and I always remember that moment for how insane it was.
Also while both openings are awesome, the ending was some weird thing with Relena's African safari or something.
I watched it a few years back and I think what struck me was that it kind of meanders quite a bit with things. I feel you could cut chunks out of it to slim things down.

I watched Awing recently and was floored at how awful it was. The plot made no sense and seemed like it was written in broad strokes without trying to have anything fit together.
I the mech designs and animation are good, but otherwise 00 does this whole concept way better.

Fucking love Wing, but it was a weird ass dub.
Treize was so fucking extra.

I loved Wing so much as a kid. I rewatched it last year knowing it wasn't going to have aged well but man it was still really rough. The dialogue is just bizarre — characters frequently sound like they're having independent conversations and aren't actually responding to what each other is saying. The show is serious drama for 14 year olds.
Great soundtrack though. And Epyon is still one of my favorite Gundam designs.

I remember Lady Une being cool as a kid, and given everything else I've seen about Gundam Wing I'd liked to keep that childhood read.
Yeah, but just listen to his voice acting. She put the audience out of our misery.
G Gundam is awesome, especially the dub, there's a reason it and the original are the only Gundams in my physical anime collection(for the moment mind you. Gundam Blu-ray's are still pricy!)
It was the Gundam that ran side-by-side with the Frieza Saga of Dragonball Z on Toonami. I'm convinced this is the only reason that it's as well remembered as it is.
Ok I remember loving Gundam Wing when I was younger, but now this is cracking me up lol. What the heck do they mean by "kill"? Are they talking about sex? I don't get it lol.
Releena saw Heero land on Earth and he's all like "I am literally going to murder you because you're a witness and my whole thing a the protagonist of this series is unironically being a terrorist" and then she's all like "sploosh, tell me about it stud" and he's all "yeah I am definitely going to kill you" and she's like "yeah sure, let's hang out" and then I don't remember the specific context of this particular scene, but I'm guessing Heero is missing and she's trying to find him/call him back by being all "Hey babe if you're gonna kill me you can come and do it because I'm right here ready to be killed"
The movie that ends off the series.
Villain: "You can't kill me! I'm holding Relena Peacecraft hostage!"
Relena: "Yay! Heero's finally come to kill me!"
Heero: "Roger that."
Villain: "Wait, what have I gotten myself involved in here?"
