I'm more of an Archangel fan(meaning the whole crew on that side, most of them anyway) than a single character fan anymore. They changed so much from SEED. I liked Athrun in SEED but they ruined him in Destiny.

As for Shinn taking down Athrun i can see that it was just circumstances. He had it coming as he deserted. I'm tired of hating Shinn nothing good comes out of it and i have begun to dislike him less and less.
