Gundam Seed Destiny

As a decent anime series, Gundam Seed Destiny will present a cast of characters as the 'good guys' but their portrayal via they're actions will clearly prove them to be the worst kind of good guys. Same as in Star Trek where the first directive stating the non interference with more primitive civilisations(as if there was ever given a set of criteria to judge any civilisation by it's place on a lather of evolution) is constantly if not always ignored. Of course usually with a great speech about the righteousness of that specific decision but a quick dissection of that argument will clearly show bias and subjectivisation of the LAW. So these 'good guys' in Destiny will be, judging by their decisions and their ways at least, in fact the 'bad' guys, morally. They are misogynistic, egotistic, belligerent, greedy, inconsiderate, unkind, ignorant, disrespectful but, and this should be emphasised, they are lucky guns(pun here) to have the best weapon since nukes were banned(glad they can keep at least that rule) and a decent pilot(a minor, mentally unequipped to deal with the horrors of war and forced on the job until they develop a Stockholm syndrome)

 The series isn't only poorly written or developed, but the moral inadequacies are so evident as to make this show a clear danger for the brand of Gundam as a whole, the animation industry and Japan, it's allies the whole entertainment industry and artists, along with their specific art forms, from today, from the last century, or ever since art was used to propagandise(as in ever). This show compromises any good intention, moral intention I mean, that anyone ever had, ore will ever have. Irl it's not that bad. I am not trying to force a conclusion here, all I am saying is that 'a show like this' is contributing to the worsening of an entire branch of cultural manifestation, infecting it through time, with no real cure at hand. It is a plague that eats huge chunks of what people contribute to the universe as information.


They have no sense of justice. They pretend to have one but all they manage to do is in the best of cases, a good simulation of justice, with all consequences being irrelevant to the accused if the one in question is a 'good guy'.

 I feel really bad that lots of kids around the world are watching this thing with the full trust kids usually have in things with authority. But authority is just another social tool. What can you do?
 I mean are the bad guys bad? Sure they are. But as a writer just be honest about the whole situation. People are fighting for sports sometimes, and I guess this is a good thing, but when involved in a war, a mere soldier is a victim, and all leaders are filthy to the marrow. They cannot be 'good' because they won. There is no 'good' fight ever, to be fought by anyone. Every single kill ever made in a war(this includes all time-space, future as well) is wrong, so stop protecting the guy because he was fighting the 'good cause', the 'just' bullshit. What is right in war, is avoiding killing and avoiding destruction. That is the real target of any military guy, be him guerrilla or Jessie Ventura. Of course, it is a war, casualties will happen(and that is a bad thing) but not because of  bad guys. It's because of all guys. A war is not a fight between sides, it is a disaster. An stupid disaster, but disaster still. Trying to save lives should be the priority of a f*****g Gundam, not vengeance, not execution. But as everyone knows, power corrupts, and an innocent kid from episode one can become a hardened killer only four episodes later. If the kid is not that innocent it can be an instant hit.

But what can a writer do, this is a war story. Even more precisely, a story about soulless guns.

Later edit:
I was completely wrong. Now I realise my mistake. The key of interpreting this series is to think of it as a realistic or naturalistic portrayal of what war is  even to it's main protagonists. Hypocrisy and near sightedness of all senses. It makes people act like jerks. Even the good guys.
