I feel there is much confusion regarding Ezelcant "Darwinist" agenda. Probably has to do with the use of the term "Superior" in show, which get assimilated with stronger. In effect, instead of the Ubermensch, hig goal is more the Last Man.
In previous Gundam shows, Newtypes and the likes were often classified as the step toward the Ubermensch, now remember that in contrast to that, Ezelcant has repeatedly labelled them as a regression. Thus, rather than a darwinist approach, I'd tend to see him as vying for a form of posthumanism. Hig goal being to create a race of human wise enough to live in harmony. In effect he isn't selecting violent humans and X-rounder, but drawing them out to die on the battlefront, ala Treize (also reminds me of Lelouch BTW), with the not smart enough dying in colony destructions, only leaving those apt enough to survive adversity in non violent ways. IE, he is aiming for an "understanding" ending, but by weeding out those unable to understand each other.

Their answer was Technos Taboo, abandoning their most dangerous technologies and strictly controlled development of science and technology. It was not culling people but keeping the guns away from crazy people. Ezelcant found a hidden stash of those guns and he is crazy. All he did was regress humanity back a hundred years. |

Yeah, but not all think their "peace" is "fair". All the crazy, bitter people need to do is do their weapons build-up in a place where the Federation can't reach and do their crazy ideology. Not that the consequence is justifiable, but not that impossible to happen.

I think it stands out that other instances of the Gundam AGE-3 in its docking sequences had Vagan forces attempt to stop it, and that this one didn't.
That said, the rest of the Vagan forces were preoccupied with the Bisidian forces, and the only one who could've interfered was Ezelcant who... probably wanted to fight the Gundam.

The protagonist will win regardless, so what difference does it make if he effortlessly dispatches his enemies or if he struggles before doing so?? We know that he's not gonna be beaten, so both scenarios are pretty much brainless.

Gundam AGE was one of the few shows where the grunts were somewhat competent (and I mean nameless grunts not the who shall not be named despite having the first of the frontline MS).
On that matter does anyone have a timedate on how long the colony wars were? The way Ezcelant was sprouting his nonsense about humanity going back to its destructive way was just out of sync since the Earth sphere was enjoying a golden age of peace. |
