Not the Biggest Gundam Nerd but Seed Was the First Time I Cried My Eyes Out at a Anime. However This Made Cry Not From Joy Not From Sadness but Anger. This is Basically the Result of Someone at Sunrise Looking Back At the Money Making Machine That Was C.e and Thinking How Do I Bring Back This Thing That is Considered a Laughing Stock By Many and Beloved by Others? By Making It a Self Aware Laughing Stock So Both of the Two Will Buy Tickets for It The Whole Movie is Supposed to Be One Big Fan Service However None of Them Brought a Smile Into My Face Which Destiny Despite How Much of Them Were Absolute Bullshit Was Able to Make Me Smirk Such as When Neo Became Mu Again. story Renmants of Blue Cosmos Who Should Have Been the Main Antagonists of the Movie Are Still Around and Doing Shit. Kira and Lacus Go to a Emerging Nation That Feels Even More Out of Place Than Anything in Astray Except Astray is Acutally Awesome Mr. Stealyourgirl Gets Geassed and Everything Goes to Hell Including but Not Limited to the Obligatory Ce Nuking Event The Archangel Finally Having Its Wings Ripped Away and Getting His Own Girl Stolen. First Half Genuinely Felt Like Torture to Watch With the Second Being Almost Ok. characters Agnes: All of the New Antagonists on the Movie Feel Like Parodies Of Selfship Ocs Some Girl on Ao3 Makes for a Shitty Fanfic However This One Has to Be the Worst of Them All. When She First Appeared in the Attack to Blue Cosmos I Genuinely Thought Meyrin Became a Pilot and Became A Pickmegirl Only to Find Out She Was Some Completely Random Character Whose Sole Purpose is to Betray the Group. Not Only is Her Punishment Far Too Low but is Also Made To Increase the Ntrbait Count in the Movie Which Was Already One of the Weirdest Parts of the Cosmic Era but This Whole Movie Seems to Be a Mad Parody of It Made to Focus on That. Black Knights: Someone Watched Cglotl and Thought It Would Be Funny If That Name Referred to the British Instead. They Are the Boosted Men of the Movie With the Right of Having Another Notyzak and a Dude With A Bane Mask. Foundation: What if Instead of Your Average Racist Guy Racist Guy 2 Nihilistic Char and Eugenicist President We Made the Main Antagonists A Incel Womanizer Who is Doing All This for Pussy the Obligatory Old Hag With the Body of a Child And They Were Literally Just Trying to Continue the Previous Bad Guys Plans? Anyways Despite How Much Cheesier Than This Already Very Cheesy Movie I Believe the 20 Clones of Kira Original Script Was Still a Better Idea. Returning Characters: Shinn Was Fine but I Wish There Was More Tension Between Him And Kira While Still Showing Hes No Longer a Whiny Crybaby Trying to Sound Smart Cagalli Didnt Do Shit at All Already Knew When They Mentioned She Was Going to Get the Strike Rouge Ready Instead of Using the Damn Butter Colored Robot Her Father Bulit Specifically for Her Nations Defense But Insists on Making the Guy Who Was Brainwashed to Become a War Criminal Up Until Recently Pilot It Was Wondering Where the Heck Athrun Was in the Whole First Half and Hilda Becoming a Acutal Character Was the Best Decision They Made for This. Mobile Suits: While the MSs of the Black Knights Undeniably Follow the Golden Rule of Cool They Dont Feel Right in the Setting at All but Then Again Their Whole Existence Doesnt. I Disliked the Rising Freedom at First but Its Design Grew on Me Sadly It Gets Replaced With the Strike Freedom After Getting Its Ass Wrecked Which Despite Being Cooler Doesnt Have the Benefit Of Turning Into a Cool Plane : Mighty Strike Freedom Genuinely Looked Like a Absolute Beauty With Its PROUD DEFENDA That Looks Like the Back of a Holy Spirit Pigeon Statue You Would See at a Church Im Pretty Sure Bandai is Aware Of Kira Jesus Yamato at This Point Unfortunately With Its Last Minute Inclusion That is Basically a Final Boss Finishing Move in a JRPG and Its Janky Movements That Thing Genuinely Was Bulit Just to Aura Farm but Then Again the Whole Film is Shows How Much This Movie Feels Like a Gunpla Ad. Everything Else Was Forgetable With the Exception of the Damn Zgok. Ending: The Moment Some Weird Insert Song Started Playing and Japanese Words in the Corner Appeared I Know It Was Over Because It in Fact Was. If You Felt Disappointed With Destinys Original Extremely Abrupt Ending That Was Reworked in the Remaster Then Prepare for a Wave of Nostalgia. Final Thoughts: As a Diehard Fanboy of CE Because I Didnt Watch Any Other Timeline Yet I Dont Binge a Whole Franchise in One Year I Would Say if You Feel Satisfied With Destinys Ending Then You Got No Reason to Watch This. If You Didnt Like Destinys Ending Well Even Less of a Reason. If You Do in Fact Want to See This Expect a Two Hour Long Special Episode Written as a Thank You for Being the Ones That Didnt Dislike This and Not Anything Worthy of Your Time. If You Would Like to Watch Something Thats Acutally Worthy of Being Called Mobile Suit Gundam Seed: The One Movie Thats Not a Recap of the Series Then Watch All of C.E 73: Stargazer That One Definitively Needs Your Attention.
