I forgot that arguing this point with you is like like bashing my head into a brick wall. It get's nowhere and just ends up giving me brain trauma. You're not going to let go of your Kira plushie and your "Fukada pwns j00" poster, and I'm not going to change my opinion that Kira should have kicked the bucket, for good reason, when he faced off with Shinn.

By not killing A main character (it could very well have been Athrun and Meyrin that could/should have died), this makes the series absolutly no different than the previous incarnations of Gundam. Which is very sad from any perspective.
First off Shinn is widely HATED by the fanbase. For him to kill the most popular character of both series. It would cause the absolute death of Gundam Seed francise. I don't like Fukada at all for your information. I loved Seed I found it to be a fresh and insteresting take on the Gundam line despite what it reused the series still felt fresh. Gundam Seed Destiny has on the other hand been terrible from start until now constantly going down hill. I don't feel that Fukada shouldn't have taken some drastic steps but killing a character like Kira is certainly not the way to do it.

Frankly there are a lot of characters from Gundam Seed that in Destiny could have been killed allowing for a twist and a increase in popularity to the series given a proper death. Where as making a whiney bitch like Shinn out to be the most powerful quardinator out there by having him kill Kira. If anything at 18 Kira is better then he was in Seed even if he hasn't touched a MS for the last 3 years he still has far greater experiance then anyone could learn in times of peace on a simulator. Also no matter what battles Shinn has gone through it wouldn't make him able to surpase the "ultimate coordinator" after only a couple of weeks or months.

Athrun and Calgari have both been reset as if this was a alternate universe and magically we were at the begining of Seed all over again. Either one of them would have been a much more realistic person to kill off in place of Kira who essentially if beat would make Shinn the strongest warrior in the entire Seed univers. I didn't care for him winning in any way in 34 after going out of there way to tell us he was a complete underdog stating that anyone using freedom would have a advantage due to the suit but Kira was virtually uncermountable. This goes along with the Fliers being launched and linking up with Impulse with absolutely ZERO delay. This made the fight a worthless plot device and nothing more. Killing ANY main character or even a sub one like Yzak or Deakka in a battle like that would be completely worthless.

To me the issue with this series not being new is that there has been no new group of any kind introduced. Perhaps having the junkers from the Astray series involved in the war or anything along those lines instead of setting up the same EXACT sides as we had in the last war. What makes it even worse is they brought back Mwu as Neo and had him fighting another clone aka Rey. Whats the point in having the series start over and do the same thing all over again.

This basically leaves that the entire problem hinges on that they started with Shinn and tried to make him Kira. This made Kira unable to be develope as he had nowhere to go. This made Athrun, Calgari, (Neo/Mwu), yzak, Deakka, Rey(Raul) and the Chairman(rauls other side) all to also develope in exactly the same way. Your issue with the shouldn't be why didn't they kill Kira. In fact it should be more like why wasn't there a group of individuals that are members of faith working in the background to uncover the truth as there suppose to be independant in the first place. Heck why even have faith if all it meant was that Athrun was left be the chairmans bitch all over again.

Every single aspect of the story which could have brought life to GSD was ignored and in the end all we have is Gundam Seed all over again this time with more models. I'm sorry if you have issues with the concept that someone doesn't have to be a fanboy to disagree with you. The fact remains that your head is simply to far up your arse for you to even imagine that perhaps they should have started the story in a completely differn't way where each character could grow OR each character could simply show up to do what they do in the first place. I'm sure even you would have been ok with a group working behind the scenes and perhaps having Kira and Lacus end up hiding them for a time where Kira might actually train the newbies in some way and then having him show up as a Allie in the final battle. As opposed to having Kira and Lacus as the driving force to the war where Kira is set up as once again the only roadblock that is preventing the annihilation of the human race.
