So with this dude casting asunder the notion of underdogs being able to come out on top, does that retroactively make all capeshit, super robots, and Star Wars wrong? Does this mean Rossiu was right and Kamina and Simon lead humanity to their deaths by trying to go against the natural order of things? Should I drop toku because it doesn't end with the heroes all dying pointless deaths?

I know he's not a bad guy /m/. But I still feel like realistically life isn't all row row fight the power, so I should just lay down and accept it.

Thought so. I'm just gonna throw out all of my toys and throw my cat in the trash. Nothing matters anyway, so who's gonna complain?

There there OP. This isn't the first time the so-called protagonists turned out to be villains that needed to be destroyed for the greater good.

He's going to die in the movie, so it's not like it matters.

Elion was the underdog here. He defeated the chosen king and his dragons.

Except he is.

It's more along the meta assumption that if you're going to have underdog protagonists, they had better have likable characters and good reasons for upsetting the status quo and killing lots of people who are doing their jobs to stop them.

Star Wars had a literal evil empire which was very demonstratably evil right down to the evil Emperor with evil space magic.

IBO just had a bunch of otherwise innocent third-world laborers who joined a violent separatist movement and didn't get any better as people from there but kept fighting (and killing) anyways.

I know you're shitposting, but c'mon man. You can't fool me with a contradiction that blatant.

If the series had actually WELL WRITTEN dialogues, scenes, interactions between characters and I know I sound crazy, GOOD ANIMATION IN AN ANIME it could have been the best Gundam series with that premise.

A Beasts of No Nations with robots, the kind of War is Hell message Gundam needed since the last good entry came out(CCA) that could set it apart from all other "real" robot shows where a group of underdogs wins because it has to, by showing us why they're wrong or at least foolish to try that shit.
The problem is that they completely fucked up the pacing between two seasons, had Tekkadan becoming not!Char lapdogs for intricate reason just to set them on their obvious downfall and the character never being that engaging to begin with.

Why would you think a cartoon designed to sell toys tells nothing but universal truths?

Underdogs can win, and underdogs can lose, but quite frankly, if underdogs won all the time they wouldn't be called underdogs.

Why would you do something so horrible? Even in a shit world no cat deserves that.

You're a fucking idiot. Even forgetting the fact that the antagonist used WMD to carry out his plan and succeeded completely undermines any hope of a war is hell message they had already shot themselves in the foot.

Considering that it is not the first thing to follow that notion, nor will it be the last, I would say no.
