What does /a/ think of Zechs Marquise?
>>148985238
Cheap Char clone, terrible character, vile traitor that got away with everything because he's dumb bitch peace princess's retarded brother. Wing missed out on being the Gundam of the century with its wishy-washiness when it comes to the Peacecrafts: neither of them should have survived the series.
Respectable Char clone, interesting character, masterful pilot that got one of the best-designed Gundams (Epyon) because he's the coolest character in the show besides Duo. Wing missed out on being the Gundam of the century with its inability to focus on actual interesting characters like Zechs, Treize, Quatre, and Duo; instead too much focus was placed on boring losers like Trowa, Wufei, and Heero.

Zexcs? It's a pretty bad studio.

I have a lot of nostalgia for Wing like a lot of Toonamifags, but having recently rewatched it, Zechs and Treize are legitimately interesting and well written characters and make the show worthwhile, it's such a shame that most the show still focuses on Heero and the other teenagers.
Zech's first piloting of the Tallgeese and his first battle with it actually gave me goosebumps when I watched it again.

i rewatched it recently too and was bored to no end
do not remember it being boring as fuck

It just depends, there were plenty of boring episodes to be fair, especially anything concentrating on Quatre and Trowa together, whereas I found Quatre to be interesting as a standalone character, he was pretty dull when paired with Trowa. And it's the same with episodes that focus on Heero and Relena.
But the Zechs and Treize episodes were great.
I used to think Wing was shit when I first started watching Gundam but now with all the new trash I really miss it.

Having recently rewatched it too I agree with you except that Heero is actually a great character too. He has a great overall character arc as he goes from a fairly naive kid who has this heavily romanticised view of what it's like to be a "badass secret agent/terrorist" to a more rounded person over time as he gains more experience and interacts with the other characters. He's also heavily tied into the themes of the inner philosophy of a warrior and use of weapons as he represents basically the pinnacle of a manufactured human weapon.

I don't disagree with you, Heero has a lot more development than I remembered, but I never really managed to have as much interest in him as I did with Zechs and Treize.
Can we at least agree that Trowa and Wufei are pretty fucking dull?
>>148985238
Him and Treize where among the best characters in the show and the ones that reasonably stood up the most.

When a man cuts all ties to a friendship just because his mask breaks, you don't fuck with that man.

The ironic thing is Zechs jobbed much less then Char could ever dream.
>>148987755
Wufei would probably be the easiest character to remove from the show without having a significant effect since he was mainly just there to beat the viewer over the head with the main themes if they weren't paying attention.

Design-wise, the best Char clone.
FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLS
No machine gun for him, shoot him down !
Why is the tallgeese such an incredibly beautiful, unique and timeless design that allows it stand out from gundams and the standard gm/zaku derivatives without going full retard like a lot of the 80s designs or being as boring and forgettable as later designs?
>>148985238
DIIIIIIIIO!

I think it's because they took influences from real life designs like spartan helmets, but then also kept a lot of the design work to a minimum, it's not fussy in any way, and it's simplicity gives it a timeless feel.
