Clearly this was by no means a coincidence, and I don't believe Lacus is naive enough not to see the truth, or at least a part of it, behind it all. Quote:
She was well into her role, as you say, but I wouldn't go so far as to say she was all that much into it. Quote:

It may not be necessary, but it was unused material that could've made Lacus far more appealing than she was. Quote:

During his first discussion with Meer, Athrun himself made it clear as to Dullindal's intentions behind why he wanted Meer up on that stage, in order to seize hold of Lacus' power to influence the people for his own purposes. Quote:
Indeed, he didn't go out of his way to tell Meer that he was no longer engaged to Lacus, however that should've been made a matter of public record during the incident in the original GS. Personally I believe Athrun was simply playing along so as to deduce the truth behind what was going on; and neither his words nor his actions give me enough evidence to suggest otherwise. |

The fact is, Meer was very well into her role, so much that she'd sleep with Athrun in order to appear authentic, which in turn led me to believe that even if Lacus attempted to persuade her early on, it would have accomplished little. Worse, it might have backfired. Quote:

Athrun has a brain a size of a tofu?? lol!!
but i agree.. if not, Athrun has to be one of the dumbest characters in GSD. Dully hires a Lacus imposter, Dully assassinates Lacus,.. and still... he joins back to ZAFT. I mean.. WTF!?! and yes, it kinda puzzled me why Athrun didn't tell Meer that he and Lacus broke up. Heck, I'm surprised the WHOLE PLANTs doesn't know . don't tell me the WHOLE PLANT wasn't aware of the civil war between the Zala and Clyne faction back in SEED?? i mean.. dammit! the scene where Athrun woke up with Meer beside him was hilarious! "Lacus... wouldn't do this! NEVER!" -- okay this line was totally epic. memories came haunting huh Athrun? that she ditched you for your best friend.. poor thing.. I'm surprised Dully became so dumb at the end of the series especially in the episode where Lacus finally revealed herself to the public. did Dully really think a couple of grunt ZAFT forces could wipe out Lacus from the face of the universe ?? totally stupid. if Dully were smart enough, he could have recruited Kira through a blackmail |

In Destiny, due to Morosawa's meddling, Cagali became whinny & passive, and cries more than a newborn. This unfortunate side effect led to Kira's infamous justify-all punchline "CAGALI IS CRYING!!!!!!!!!!" Kira turned Savior into scrap metal, why? CAGALI IS CRYINNNNGGG!!! Kira went all-out on ZAFT, why? CAGALI IS CRYINNNNNGGGG!!! Kira stole your fiance, why? CAGALI IS CRYIIINNNNNGGG!!! Since Cagali was effectively rendered inept, this meant Athrun too, was affected. Athrun in GSD became lost again, with no self, purpose and no objective. He was so happy when someone gave him something to do, even if that man might have been the culprit behind several evil deeds. The result? Gundam's stupidest couple, Cagali x Athrun. - Tak

Regardless of whether there was positive merit behind it or not, the fact remains that an imposter was being used to rally and unite the people together in the face of an unimaginable horror. Now while that may sound all well and good at face value, if Dullindal was willing to resort to such methods, or at the very least be involved with them, then it begs the question of what else he's willing to do in order to exercise his will. You know the old saying in that the path to hell is paved with good intentions, and that's exactly the mindset Lacus should've kept in mind when she considered all this. To simply toss aside all of this with the thought that Dullindal has good intentions behind it is pure and simple naivety. Quote:

Fukuda claimed in a 2003 interview that he liked Turn A Gundam.
Which elements of Turn A appeared in both SEED and SEED Destiny? Here's what I can think of:

FATKuda FAIL! Whenever that Space Whale appeared on screen, I immediately think of this guy (no joke):
Spoiler for Baaaaaassaaarrraaaa!!!:
And that OVA where he was actually chasing after a... ... ... ... space whale. Quote:
Dianna is indeed comparable to Lacus in some ways, but Sochie to Flay? She was not even remotely a psycho, never mind that Loran, in my opinion, never felt sorry for Sochie about anything, aside from choosing Dianna at the end. He also stated that Lacus drew inspiration from Lynn Minmei. - Tak

And, IMO, Relena has expies of her own in Dianna, Lacus (who's also partly based on Lalah), Cagalli (also of Sayla), and Marina.

In Destiny, she realized that being involved in the political scene meant that upholding your ideals isn't always easy to do. And since she can't fix her problems by just shooting at people, thus we get her current state in Destiny. People may not like her character in Destiny, but it's not like the change in character was unmerited. |
