Find a flaw.
No, seriously...Has there ever been a UC character more based the Bright Noa?
>>13711191
He created Hathaway.
>>13711212
He fixed his mistake, eventually.
>>13711212
If recent popular films are to be believed, awesome fathers are not to be blamed for their dorky, shitty sons. Sometimes kids just turn into dipshits.
>>13711212
That's a pretty serious accusation to just throw out there like that.
>>13711260
pic says it all.
How many times do you think Bright would've slapped the SEED pilots? More than Zeta?
>>13711191
Then ZZ came along where he failed to slap those brats into shape and actually let Judah slug him.
Imagine if he treated Amuro like that and let him run wild.
>>13711404
Well he saw what happened to that Aeug guy, Judou set him fucking straight. After that, Bright lived in fear.
>>13711416
Wong was going to set him straight, but he was held back by Bright before he could go full kung fu on Jewdough's ass.
And it all went downhill from there.
>>13711394
Quite a lot.
An oldfag made some amusing OC a long time ago about Bright beating the living shit out of Kira.
I really loved how by the time ZZ rolls around, Bright has given up, and just sits there depressed while teenagers fuck around all over the ship forever
Took that Cameron guy's fiance.
>>13711456
By the time ZZ rolls around, Bright has become genre savvy and knows exactly what is going to happen with Judau and friends on board, so he does his business as captain without wasting time trying to set them straight.
>>13711191
The guy who walked up and slapped the shit out of his crush's fiance causing her panties to get soaked.
>>13711191
His wife
>>13711191
>No, seriously...Has there ever been a UC character more based the Bright Noa?
Yeah,Katz.
>>13711191
Lets see. He slapped around the only one who could effectively pilot the only thing keeping his crew alive, prompting him to steal said superweapon and flee into the desert, only returning later due to a stroke of luck.
I'm also not sure that bright ever actually had a smart plan in his life. He wasn't a complete idiot, but I never got the impression that he was good at tactics or anything.
Gendo's smile is a miracle of the universe.
>>13712010
Katz died like a bitch even his own father didn't grieve for him.
>>13712790
But Katz managed to disobey Bright EVERY TIME.
So Katz >> Bright.
>>13712791
Judau did too and instead of fucking off into a meteor he fucked off into Jupiter and Roux.
>>13712793
both options seem just as bad.
>>13712804
Elle it's been like thirty years let it go already.
>>13712791
>But Katz managed to disobey Bright EVERY TIME.
Look where that got him.
>>13711191
He was only 19 in MSG. Unrealistic for someone who looked more like they were 24+ and all the stuff he had to deal with.
>>13712848
He didn't really look much older than Mirai and Sayla, and it's pretty clear that he has as little of a fucking clue what he's doing as most of the White base crew at the start. The only reason he was the captain was because the entire chain of command above him died at Side 7.
If you want to talk wonky ages in Gundam, just look at Ramba Ral or something.
>>13712848
The stress, man.
>>13712874
The stress of working with Zeon must've aged Ramba Ral. The only thing keeping Ramba young was tapping that Hamon pussy every night after a successful battle
>tries very hard to act tough/cool
>is actually kind of a dork on the inside
>tall as a beanstalk
>and the crew's father figure
Apart from the 5-finger attitude adjustments, Orga is pretty much a Bright clone.
>>13712383
>I'm also not sure that bright ever actually had a smart plan in his life. He wasn't a complete idiot, but I never got the impression that he was good at tactics or anything.
He only was put in command because everyone else with any line officer training died.
>>13712874
>The only reason he was the captain was because the entire chain of command above him died at Side 7.
Where were all of the Senior NCOS?
CPOs exist for a reason!!!!!!!!
He's a based character if only because he doesn't spend much of his time being whiny emo faggot. That already puts him head and shoulders above most characters in the entire franchise.
Plus he was a young officer given the command of a ship. He not only rose to the challenge, but excelled at it. Repeatedly.
>>13713081
Dead, Everyone was dead. Don't you understand man, the zeeks and their mobile suits they killed everyone. It was terrible, the red comet himself was there. They never stood a chance.
>>13711191
>No, seriously...Has there ever been a UC character more based the Bright Noa?
>>13713066
>Orga is pretty much a Bright clone.
No? Bright was never good at being a father figure to anyone. Remember the many times he said that in Zeta?
>>13712383
>Lets see. He slapped around the only one who could effectively pilot the only thing keeping his crew alive, prompting him to steal said superweapon and flee into the desert, only returning later due to a stroke of luck.
>it's his fault that the pussy boy acted like a pussy boy after receiving a consequence for talking back
>>13713123
>Feel the "understanding" flow into you, Amuro...five fingers at a time!
>>13713329
It's kinda weird that Kamille is a self-proclaimed Bright fanboy, yet they barely interact throughout Zeta unless he needs another knuckle-sandwich.
>>13711404
ZZ is a piece of shit and practically non-canon, who cares.
>No, seriously...Has there ever been a UC character more based the Bright Noa?
>>13713405
Truth.
Even the OP tries fiercely proclaim that the show is not anime.
>>13713360
>>13713066
>Bright clone
It's actually interesting to think if there are any other clones post-0079 besides the masked man.
>>13713475
The only real Bright "clone" is Jamil and he's more Quatromuro than just Bright
>>13713475
There are Ral clones in SEED and G Reco, (complete with cute girlfriends). Granted, the latter is much more conceited.
>>13713475
Marrue.
She got her job in the same way Bright got his own.
>>13713507
She wasn't very good at slapping bitches though.
>>13713475
People say Ali is a Yazan clone.
But that's pretty harsh. Just because they both enjoy killing and are proficient pilots?
In that case Mika is one too.
>>13713556
It's more that both of them have no morals whatsoever (although I have no idea how friendly Yazan is with that girl in Return of Johnny Ridden). Mika has a few (protecting muh Tekkadan family).
>>13713568
Motivation is a strong difference here.
Yazan is in it for the thrills.
Ali wants personal gain.
Also Ali is a pretty smooth operator, while Yazan is an animal, even outside the cockpit.
>>13713507
She's not very good at "corrections."
>>13713507
She was technically more qualified than the job, being a Lieutenant and an engineer (which came in handy once).
Bright was an Ensign, literally the bottom of the barrel.
>>13713642
>>She was technically more qualified than the job
Looking like a pornostar?
>>13713716
>implying this hunk of supple man-meat couldn't star in a porno
>>13711424
I'm not even a judaufag but Wong deserved to get the shit beat out of him.
>>13713716
I mean in terms of rank.
>>13713486
Too bad he's a NEET.
>>13711260
This but seriously. Only so much nurturing and education can help. Some people turn into shitty human beings of their own accord.
>>13713537
>>13713631
But she succeeded in being something of a mother figure to Kira.
>>13711191
Kills his own son.
>>13713784
Oh right, Bright was like 19 during the OYW. Wonder why he always appears so old.
>>13711191
Terrible captain who never had any kind of tactical mind beyond "point the Gundam at it and give it some cover fire" or "eh let the kids handle it", desperately tries to make up for his complete lack of authority and charisma with physical violence (and fails badly at it, causing his pilots to run away, bitch all day, or outright punch him back), awful father, eventually grew a ridiculous mustache
>>13714357
>using the best tools available to you makes you a terrible tactician.
This is why you are not a military adviser.
>>13714357
>Terrible captain who never had any kind of tactical mind beyond "point the invincible macguffin at it"
>this is bad tactics
Bright's a fucking genius. "Let this kid do his shit and we'll all make it home in time for dinner."
>>13714877
>>13715560
Take a shot every time Bright just says to throw up a barrage.
>>13715560
>Bright's a fucking genius. "Let this kid do his shit and we'll all make it home in time for dinner."
Having actually served in the military, I can confirm that this is the best way to get shit done.
>>13715572
I don't want to die.
>>13715572
That's a boring trigger. You'd take a shot maybe once every 2-3 episodes max.
Bright isn't an MS pilot which means he'll be free of emotional baggage that seems to plague all his pilots.
>>13715847
Zeta and CCA would be funnier if Bright slapped amuro and called it for old times
>>13716314
Nah...The Bright Slap is not something that should be abused. Casually hitting people is demeans the situations which the person actually deserves it and would make Bright seem like some callous abusive asshole.
>>13711191
He never rocketed up the ranks despite nearly every one of his superiors dieing off at some point during a war.
>>13718097
>some callous abusive asshole
Bright? Never.
>>13718175
He have the loyalty of the army he command
And if Amuro was alive he has the best pilot in all Earth Sphere in his disposal. He have the option to go rouge and take over Earth if he wanted to.,
>>13711191
Would Bright have to slap anyone from 00?
>Brighto Noah
>>13719655
Saji.
>>13719655
Maybe Allelujiah till he becomes halle permanently
>>13718422
Bright Noa is a kind and gentle soul. He just doesn't deal with BS from his subordinates very well.
