what wrong having a gundam tv series main lead being a FEMALE?
like it every gundam person's worst nightmare or last thing no expect to see? give besides if bring back GS series or next gundam series so why just make have main lead being a FEMALE. come on it would quite a different side to see in a woman's point of view.

well give only if HD destiny in 2014 give same time for GSD's 10th year & ironic 35th year of gundam.
unless return on GS era with either movie or finally pull in give main female gundam pilot either way Lacus will return & save women era of gundam.

A movie wont require any plot rewrites since in the end the three guys make peace and join forces. It would be nice but I doubt they'll do anything major.

What does Lacus have to do with anything? She can't pilot, she's a Captain/former idol/Kira's lover and there's no reason to suddenly take away a lot of her responsibility just so she can pilot(and get out shined in piloting by the 3 male leads). If anything it would be Cagalli or Lunamaria that would be saving the day alongside the male leads in Gundams unless the movie adds in a new female pilot who will need a love interest(for the shipping) and that would just make the movie too crowded for time. So most likely the movie will just be the ultimate team up with the 3 male leads with Lunamaria, Lacus, and maybe Cagalli helping out. Murrue most likely would be dragged out of retirement alongside Mwu at some point as well. I would prefer they don't, Cagalli deserves her Akatsuki. |

Breath of fresh air isn't going to pay the bills though and Gundam almost always has been the Boys Club. It's going to take a lot to change that mindset and a really strong female lead. SEED is too plagued with Kira, Athrun, and Shinn in the spotlight. A sidestory or a completely new series would be needed to get a strong girl lead that doesn't have to deal with fans wanted the popular guys back in the spotlight.
Though after 00 and AGE I hope that we at least get a secondary Female Lead that gets a Gundam and not just hand me downs in the next Gundam series. |

Even if they made a Gundam lead female, it probably wouldn't be that drastic a POV change. She'd just be the typical Gundam lead. Only female.
Case in point, people wanted a Final Fantasy female lead for some time now (X-2 didn't really count as it just reused characters from the previous game and there wasn't a character driven narritave) In FF 13, they finally gave everyone one. Lightning. And while she was and still is extremely popular she's pretty much just a genderflipped stereotypical modern day FF lead. Stoic brooding badass with a sword. Who happens to be female. She shows occasional feminity but it's few and far between. 99 percent of the time her gender is irrelevant. That's probably what a female Gundam lead would be. |

I wouldn't say it's worthless though, even if she still acts like a regular lead it's still doesn't render it worthless to have the lead as female. Writing her to be attractive, personality wise(we don't need a female Gundam lead running around in high heels in a Gundam), to fans is the issue though. After all being a woman alone makes it much harder to sell her than had she been a guy.

Chris wasn't really the lead though. That kid was. It was an unusual Gundam OVA. Chris just piloted the Gundam. In fact she's actually the least developed out of her Bernie and the kid.
In fact compared to who got sympathetic focus, Chris arguably was the antagonist of the story. |

Well, for female leads, there is Mobile Suit Gundam Ecole du Ciel, drawn by the wonderful Haruhiko Mikimoto. Of course, its not televised, but what the heck...

Four Murasame & Rosamia Badam are pretty nice, but they're too messed-up in the heads.

And of course, Marida... being connected with Ple Two just won't guarantee a good end... But I like Mineva, I really do. Mineva had gone a long way since the days of ZETA, and unlike the other delusional Zabi loyalists, she can actually think straight. Which by the way, is a pretty rare quality in her family. - Tak

Her role is better served as a Captain/supporter since it's what she does better than any of the other cast members. Since Murrue is retired at the end of Destiny with Mwu it kinda leaves only Lacus left to be the Captain of a ship for the team unless they want to introduce a bunch of new characters on top of the new ones that will be needed for the 3 mains to trash.
