The love Fuckuda got for pandering to his fans ?
Oh well, even as a fan, my hopes for this movie aren't this much high. I just pray for them to find a way to make up for Athrun's stupidity in Destiny. Please. I loved this character in Seed, so make me forget this **** of Destiny. Now I think a kiss for Lacus and Kira isn't possible. That's sure. Seriously, if the saga is over without a kiss for them, well...they need at least a closure in a romantic field. I don't care at all about them (because Flay FTW) but I don't think we'll avoid the kiss for this one. Now I wonder what is going to be the plot for this one. Maybe a thing à la Endless Waltz, with some reminding of Raw...

First off, we have spoiler tags so use them. Since this thread is about a third installment of Seed, it's safe to assume that everyone reading it is familiar with the first two, so spoiler tags aren't necessary for Seed/Destiny. However, it's not safe to assume that everyone here has watched any other Gundam show, much less a non-Gundam show like Code Geass.
As for killing Kira off, that's dependent on whether it would serve the story. If doing so doesn't serve to accomplish anything for the narrative, then what would be the point?

The special editions and the TV series are separate works that don't necessarily naturally translate to one another, so you'll probably never see them on the same DVD. If you're asking for a compilation fansub, please don't. Both shows are licensed so you're not allowed to ask for that kind of thing.

However, if this movie is indeed intended to end the Seed saga, then there's really no reason not to kill him if it serves the story... (and they did say they intend to make this movie epic and unforgettable... PR or not the death of a main character would serve that purpose)

I say there is no reason to kill him now because I honestly don't believe there is anything more to tell with the Seed story. I'm disappointed there's a movie actually.

And no one ever explained why they decided not to kill Kira. Your statement is an assumption just like mine was. Doesn't make it any more right or wrong unless we get an official statement. Besides, as mentioned above, some extremely popular characters have been killed before. Quote:

The pregnant Fllay/Kira saved because of fans was from an interview someone on /m/ linked too. Obvs its 4chan, so everything has to be taken with a grain of salt. That's my reason. I'm not saying its the RIGHT reason or anything thing, I just think that making another movie with Kira and the gang is just to pull in more cash, and really doesn't bode well. Seed was good. Destiny was a trainwreck. I don't know what the movie will be like, but it doesn't bode well. I'm disappointed because their taking characters I liked and reducing them to nothing more than cardboard cutouts so they can get more cash. It's my personal opinion, just like my opinion that Seed has nothing more to say with its story.

In any case, I would much prefer if Kira weren't the main character (however unlikely my wishes are to being met). He's been overshadowed by Cagalli and Lacus ever since the end of Seed, and it's a prime opportunity to do some new things. Quote:
Even if it were better sourced, this rumor is unlikely for all sorts of reasons. Not least of which is that a pregnant Fllay runs completely counter to all of the themes that had been built up in Seed.

Kira overshadowed by Cagalli? maybe in terms of horrible character direction. Even during seed, Cagalli was pretty much only good while she was running around outside. as soon as she got back to orb and put on that horrible looking uniform, her character began to go down hill. the slide continued in destiny, and was only accelerated by Fukuda severing her one connection to any good character in Athrun..
I agree that CE does have a lot of loose ends they could tie up, but chances are we'll get another natural extremist group take on the plants. because unlike the earth alliance, they actually have a powerful leader, and even if there were anti lacus factions, they couldn't stand the might of Kira and the Doms. |

Uh Kira overshadowed by Cagalli. Not Really no. Sorry but, personnaly, i don't see any other character in the show with more potential BG than Kira. Kira must be the main character for the sake of a good story. They can do a very good story with the Ultimate Coordinator BG and a crossover with the rest of the Seed Univers cast.
And please not a EA VS Plant again >_>

Remember that Fukuda himself said that he had already done all he wanted to do in the first Seed and practically had no idea what direction to take Destiny. Imagine what would happen if there is a third series with similar settings. (and before anyone suggest bringing in a new director, keep in mind that no competent director on his right mind would want to be saddled with the creative constraints that a Seed threequel would have) That's why IMO they either need to do something in the far future of that universe (which would be tough due to the technology progression of that timeline) to provide new ideas or just end it with the movie so they can focus on other timelines that can bring in new concepts.

With that in mind, I think my point that a new series would be more rehashes of old plotlines and themes is quite plausible. Quote:
The fact is that Fukuda will be the man in charge of Seed no matter what (with the exception of minor sidestories like Stargazer). Its already suffocating to be a Gundam director due to all the pressures exerted by the powers to be, but to be creatively confined by existing settings and characters also would be a complete no-no for anyone else to take over. And as Fukuda has shown that he's thrown everything he had in the first two series, it might indeed be tough for him to come up with more. Quote:
