Now contrast Trowa's arch to Relena's arch. Relena went from a girl hot with vengeful anger to the point of wanting to burn down a whole building full of people to the head of a Pacifist nation and school....o.O Uh, say what now? Seriously! They leave her off with her contemplating arson, we don't see her again until Antartica and even then that doesn't give us any reason how and why she's let go of her anger to become a freaking pacifist all of a sudden. There's no progression: forget going from A to C, she goes from A to W w/ zero reasoning. The writers didn't think that her sudden transformation needed any explanation? @_@ I love your analysis of Duo too! How he never seems to hold a grudge against Trowa inspite of everything he put him through, so therefore he's just not the type to hold grudges. I like that interpretation very much! Quote:

They are the same thing, Quatre is more calm while Dorothy is the Action Girl, both suffered from their past traumas mainly because they lost their parents for the war, but Quatre didn't go mad like Dorothy who became obcessed with War and Grimdark, She buried her fellings, and Quatre along with trowa managed to bring them back(FoTNS prot detected Inquisitor).

Unicorn is basically a sequel to Char's Counterattack. It follows up on it and ties into all of early UC with Minerva, Marida, the MS used, Bright, Kai, Beltochika, The Axis Shock and the whole plot of Laplace Box. Unicorn is nowhere near a standalone thing. If you knew the ending you would know that. It is basically the key to all of UC. Quote:
Wufei has always been a loner. Even more so than Heero but he is working with the others so he isn't really isolated. Kathy is always around him. Quatre and Trowa were building the suits but lately Quatre been a bit out of wack because of his sister stealing one of his suits and running off. His "Space Heart" stuff is used more in this. She has it too. Quate passed out after he defeated Prometheus because of the strain he had from fighting his sister. |

well dorothy could fix that ....yeah maybe they make a good couple.... I personally would kik his ass because it has been for over 30 years... guilty is guilty but hey come on he could do his best to compensate the past and why do he have 29 sisters if they do not interfere in his life and not let it be this type of person |

Anyway, in FT Katrina is Relena's grandmother and Sabrina is her grandaunt. Or maybe it's the other way around... In any case, there's a Katrina in Relena's grandmother's generation. The series' novelization claims that Katrina was the name of Relena's mother though. So we have either a retcon or more Catherines. The rest is right. As for writing "Quatrine" or "Katherine," it has nothing to do with Arabian spelling, seeing as "quatre" is not Arabian but French for "four," but with theme naming and keeping all the Catherines apart. In the English translation of Episode Zero Quatre's mother's name was given as "Quatrine." Correct me if I'm wrong but I think in FT it said that Quatre's younger sister was named after her. That and she's Quatre's clone, so it would make sense to spell her name as "Quatrine." Hope that answers your questions. Quote:
Personally, I don't mind that it happened but why it happened. And I don't mean the explanation in the novel itself but the author's decision. So far the only sound reason I can come up with why Sumizawa chose to freeze Relena and Heero, thus basically skip their development, was because he wanted to talk about everyone's kids (or sisters or random hobo look-alikes) without having to resolve Heero's and Relena's stories yet. Or rather, he wanted to save them for this new story with new characters. In theory that sounds fine. But sadly, Sumizawa's insistence to have essentially the old Gundam team assembled again, substantiated by the presence of visual clones of the other pilots, is getting in the way, and as such, the idea comes off as cheap to me. If FT looked less like GW on Mars, I wouldn't even bother mentioning it. Alas, it doesn't and the "Relena, I'll kill you" plot isn't helping shake the notion of a rehash either. As for the virtual piano playing, well, this is a simple matter of differing opinions. I'm sorry but I find it ridiculous. Both because it reminds me of card games on motorbikes (though I'm sure it could be made to look awesome if animated), and because it doesn't fit into GW. The "craziest" way we saw controlling a robot in GW were by Dorothy and Zechs, who had a battle system help them do it with their minds, since the system works by feeding data directly into the pilot's brain yadda yadda. The way it was explained made sense. And yes, there were no outlandish mind powers or songs or whatever involved. But referring to other series, just because they're of the same genre, doesn't make much sense in this case, does it? Besides, their ideas aren't strange within their own shows. To take the examples you listed, UC may have had people controlling robots with their minds but the concept of Newtypes wasn't sprung on the audience in a sequel but existed from the start of the series. And G Gundam's mobile trace system made sense. What didn't make sense was a man defeating a giant robot with a scarf. See, if it had been done like in Soul Eater, where listening to music helps a fighter focus, I would've been okay with it. But this poor excuse for incorporating more classical pieces is making me laugh because I don't see how actually playing a piece during a battle translates as controlling robots. I mean, what? Do Gundam pilots take music lessons now when they train? I'm sorry, the way it's delivered is silly compared to everything that was used previously in GW. But again, I mean no offense, it's just my own opinion. The same goes for the names. It doesn't matter if Char is called Quatro Bagina or Full Frontal; he's not in Wing. I'm pretty sure Sumizawa never had anything to do with him. What I'm judging FT by is its prequel and that is solely Gundam Wing. And when we go from names like "Deathscythe" and "Heavyarms" to "Snow White" and "Merciless Fairies" ...I believe it's legitimate to voice one's disapproval. So yes, I concede, compared to other series out there, FT is pretty tame. But compared to Wing, it's full of goofy ideas. I would also like to inquire what makes you dislike Destiny so immensely. Aside from killing its characters, I don't see how its story (aside from the last part) could warrant this much distaste. But seeing as this might not be the right place, perhaps a PM would be in order? Lastly, I would like to apologize that my statement upset you. I realize now that my choice of words can be taken as deprecating toward people's preferences and that I'm out of line demeaning a novel without being asked for my opinion in the same thread provided to its fans to discuss it. I shall watch my words more carefully from now on. Sorry. |

Basically the conversation led to Quatre explaining the new suits but in a very Quatre way using alcohol. It was a great scene to me. |

Newtypes in UC weren't crazy with hax until Zeta. Amuro himself didn't start having newtype flashes and things until later in the series. Char never exhibited strong newtype powers. Lalah was the closest to a strong newtype in early UC and she didn't do anything but control her bits really. It wasn't until Zeta when Kamille was summoning ghosts, creating mile long swords and crap that newtypes became haxy individuals. You couldn't tell Amuro and Kamille were the same evolution based on the things they did in their series unless you were told. Gundam Wing was never a series known for having amazing names. Nearly everyone important was named after a number and the OZ suits were named after the Zodiac. Not that difficult to come up with. Alex and Mueller were named Blue Angel and Red Cancer. Snow White while weird isn't that much of a jump. Giving it 7 dwarfs was logical but face palm worthy though. Destiny is easily the worst thing to come out of Gundam. The whole final battle was basically stock footage. No characters developed, Shinn had his show stolen from him, Cagalli cried all series, Kira was a robot, Lacus was a plot device, Athrun couldn't think for himself, Lunamaria hooked up with the guy who killed her sister, Rey randomly was a clone and evil, Durandal was forced into the villain roll, the EA were basically written out of the story, Neo was Mwu and didn't even care about the Extended, the Extended were underdeveloped, the final battle ended in flawless victory, Yzak and Dearka randomly decided to follow Terminal in the final battle, Meer was a pointless underdeveloped character, Heine died after 2 episodes when he should have mentored the Minerva crew etc etc etc etc etc |

Didn't we already make out Snow White's feet in one of the pictures (Colored standing side by side with Warlock?) in which we could make out it's foot color? For some reason I rememeber thinking the only thing we had confirmed was a whitish face and red feet.
I will go ahead and double check all the FT's released so far to see if I see any color on it's feet. Nope all the colored pics in the Novels have the feet covered. Granted I still doubt it would happen, but damn I would love it if they used it. I will be really sad if we have just the normal Gundam Color scheme or even worse Zero's reused. |
