But I feel Wing did it better. Showing the main characters doing things that were gray, if not downright evil, before they started to question themselves, having the those they were fighting for turn their backs to then, and being left virtually powerless and helpless in a world that they help turn upside down. The first two acts of Gundam Wing is some of the best I've seen in anime and a lot of that is because during that part there is no clear answer to the question of whether their side is truly right or not.

Then act 3 comes in with people who want to destroy the Earth and it becomes clear to them that they are the good guys. Act 3 is my least favorite part of Wing, but the first two more than makes up for it.
