@Renegade. Like I said, It's like Wendy Thomas dissing the Whopper.
It really seems to me that Ulen wanted Kira to be like (for the lack of a better comparison) X (yes, Dr. Light's creation). While the Accords have set and predetermined Potentials, Spoiler for spoiler:

WW2 Nazis didn't become what they were just by dint of (purported) ethnic/genetic advantages; indoctrination played a huge part in their reinvention. It's simply that Aura - an obsessive individual with severe psychological issues that Ulen himself described as arrogant and manipulative - raised the Accords under the dogma that they were the best of the best and, because Durandal himself thought so in writing his Destiny Plan, their genes couldn't lead them to do anything wrong...or just fail. They grew up with no other moral guardrails aside from "do it for the Accord cause" and "let your genes do the talking". It's such a radically restrictive type of education that, in the end, they couldn't fathom other super-Coordinators going...biologically off-script.

Hello, started watching Seed for the first time.
Can someone tell me what the timeline and sources were for all the character names? I'd like to know where people got bizarre spellings like "Fllay" and "Mwu" from, and why/when they changed it to more reasonable spellings. |

Given to editor for officially released materials (magazine, manga, poster). CMIIW Newtype 2002-2003 listed Mu as Mwu La Flaga; on Mu case, katakana Mu for his name given emphasis for long read (more awkward to read it as Muu). Change happened somewhere around 2011-2014, during Gundam SEED remaster process, I believe. I'm not sure about the reason but I suspect it because of Bandai started targeting overseas audience, suddenly spelling check matters to avoid possible copyright issues.

I thought this as a kid but doubly so as an adult rewatching this. Did ZAFT actually do something wrong? Gil made things harder because of his manipulations in Destiny.. Patrick Zala went geocidal because things dragged on. Under Siegel, I feel ZAFT was in the right. Halberton was the only decent commander that we know

ZAFT teach knightly attitude, while their decision makers poured their money to high accuracy WMD and hive mind system. Pick your poison.

I just got back from seeing the movie. I did not think there would be a showing near me, but it turned out there was one, though farther than my usual theater, but only about a 20-minute drive from home.
In over 20 years, today was the first time I actually saw Fukuda and the Japanese voice actors of Kira, Lacus, and Shinn, and not just in picture, but in video form, speaking. That was really nice and an unexpected bonus. Today was also the first time I actually got to be around people who seem to be fans of Gundam/mecha/anime. I actually got to talk to one person in the theater while also overhearing other discussions around me, especially after the movie. That was neat. I really enjoyed the movie so much that I think I will try to go again tomorrow for the dub version, as tonight was the sub version. I heard there are new English voice actors. It's been so long since I've watched SEED in English, but let's see if I will also enjoy this one. Spoiler for The movie itself:
