You really don't like Shin do you.

Quite simply, keep more of the focus on the new characters where we at least get the sense that Phantom Pain shows the level of ability and importance they had in the early eps. More focus and consistency when it comes to Shin's development in combat ability(at least where it doesn't seem like he has an unexplained dropped in ability while having it that the Windams actually come off as somewhat challenging to fight with). Athrun being allowed to do more than sulk and be stuck in reused animation for so long while getting the chance to be more a mentor to Shinn where he at least is allowed to somehow gain some respect from Shinn more often in terms of how starstruck he was when he saw how good the Jachin Due veteran ZAFT were during the Junius 7 drop. Cagalli doing more than simply made mute by Shinn where she and him actually have some meaningful conversation, or arguments, where both sides can make some reasonable points. Keeping Orb more out of the war where it remains more of a neutral ground type of place that doesn't see the point in having an aircraft carrier. Juna staying as the scheming type he came off as early on, rather than the goofy acting douche he strangely becomes, where he benefits from doing the odd favor for both the EA and ZAFT for benefitting Orb without actually leaning strictly to one side of the conflict.

Try to balance out the war a bit with the EA seeming to have a competent military force that has its own bit of skill pilots rather than relying so heavily with this "WMDish" stuff where we at least get to see not only Phantom Pain more in the spotlight and given recognition but to see some Natural pilots also to show that this isn't simply a show about coordinators and "druggies." Stop degrading war to something that is only a result of wanting to committ genocide or vengeance cycle with getting rid of this annoying concept that things in a war have to actually be all that black and white where both sides of the EA and ZAFT have their movements being humane and inhumane as it comes with war. Keeping most of the GS cast out of this conflict where their focus is more upon aiding survivors of the Junius 7 drop and such rather than heading out to some fight with them being the moral superiors. Also, giving Rey and Luna the amount of prescence and involvement with combat that they also had in the early eps rather than simply being "backup singers" that stay on Minerva and shoot.

I'll contine on a bit more when I think of more or when I actually care enough to do so.
