How can you compare Heero to Shinn??

Imagine putting Shinn inside of Wing Zero. He would go crazy and destroy both Plant and Earth. At least Heero had some semblance of a conscience. Can you really call a guy whose only line for about 35 episodes was "Relena", an asshole.

Plus, the way the Impulse beat Freedom was pretty ingenious. Yeah, one could argue that Kira wasn't trying to kill Shinn, but the fact that Shinn took that into consideration and beat the "Ultimate Coordinator" says alot about his ability.
Yes I am a fan of Kira, but during that fight he cut off Impulse's head and left arm...I think if anything it would show that the design of the Gundam is ingenious.

And finally, does anyone find it amusing that whenever a Gundam gets destroyed in this series, there's another one to replace it off the bat?
It's either that or have them sustain heavy damage and never get destroyed or have the characters find random Gundams that no one on earth knew existed but they happened to stumble upon them through their travels.

I think the bigger question is...did anyone else find Gundam Wing to be a waste of time as much as I did...

The fight scenes were a joke...I think I'd take Seeds well timed replacement Gundams over the indestructable, randomly found Gundams of GW anyday.
True. Wing was a joke. I mean...Gundanium? Come on now...plus everyone shit a brick whenever a gundam was around.

When I said the comment about Heero, at the time, he was the only other asshole-ish hero I could think of. I didn't think about Kamille.
