Yeah, but that type of thing doesn't seem like it'd be changed so easily.latenlazy wrote:JQuilty wrote:Kenji wrote:(shrugs)

like it or not, that pink overprincess is an idol and succesful in uniting the world in the end!

What's ironic is that I never made any ill comment towards CE, but be that as it may. If your going to try and be funny, be sure to post something that won't be so easily mistaken as trolling.Mythgarr wrote:I am not forcing comparisons, I am just spewing out random ideas.

Anybody else watch Season 1 again the whole way through in prep for Season 2?
My second time around, what really struck me was how badly deluded the Trinity siblings were, even Johann, the most collected one.
When Sergei's GN-X squadron initially attacks their base, Johann speculates they've been betrayed or ratted-on to some degree.
So the next episode, what does he do? He calls Wang and asks for help! Did it occur to him that maybe Wang, who KNEW where their base was (and they were surprised she found it) was the one who betrayed them?
Never mind that she wasn't, it just kinda made them seem really desperate for help.
It also didn't occur to me the first time that Ali jettisoned one of Zwei's Fang docks to get away from Trans-Aming Exia. I had just previously assumed Setsuna just barely missed him with his beam sabers as Ali was trying to dodge. But re-watching the scene, I interpreted that Ali just detached one to fall into Exia's path and used the explosion to escape. Anyone else get that?

Okay, I've expressed my misgivings about 00 season one before, and amid all the Code Geass debate, I got a clearer picture in my mind about why, despite liking some of the characters, I had such a problem with Celestial Being as an organization.
It's because they always seemed (to me, anyway) to be acting like self-appointed gods who were intent on holding the world at gunpoint "for its own good". I really wanted to see them get severely smacked down, and was cheering for the antagonists every time, the only exceptions being the Trinity.
I really hope they're not going to be acting the same way in season 2.
Okay, got that off my chest.
EDIT: For those of you who read comics, I could probably make comparisions between Celestial Being and The Authority. And both were series that a lot of people liked, but I had a hard time with.
(I do still like 00 enough to keep watching, although it was a close call at a couple of points)

thats basicly what happen in season 1. CB gets owned by the rest of the world. and i dont think they learn their leason yet. then again, what do you expect out of the people that name their gaint robot after angels. obviously they got some serious superiority complex.Vent Noir wrote:It's because they always seemed (to me, anyway) to be acting like self-appointed gods who were intent on holding the world at gunpoint "for its own good".

It's an interesting topic.
An organisation that sets out to take away some responsibility (by force) from countries and people, because the world has shown not to be able to behave responsibly towards itself.
Celestial Being acts like a self proclaimed guardian towards children. Unwilling children, who are forced to acknowledge that unless they manage their weaknesses causing harm to others, that they have to accept that they're unable to manage themselves responsibly and thus have to relinguish some of that responsibility.
However, the people within CB, aren't the ones with a superiority complex.
They're all aware that they aren't superior to the people, countries and organisations they're subjecting. Everyone onboard the Ptolemaios and the CB Meisters were aware of their own weaknesses and the irony of being terrorists against terrorism.
It was Aeolia Schenberg who tried to create a system that can act like a guardian angel, based on the idea that people, even within Celestial Being, are unable to cast off their weaknesses. He's the one playing God.
Celestial Being is organized in such a way that it exploits the strengths of each member, but builds in a safety against the weaknesses of those members.
I'd like to think he foresaw CB's near downfall in season 1, putting mechanisms into places ensuring its survival.
I'd even go as far that he used the enivitable defeat to his advantage.
Aeolia Schenberg probably believes that because people are inherently imperfect, they are unable to be the perfectly responsible towards others.
And unless they're have proven to be perfectly responsible, they shouldn't be treated as being perfectly responsible for themselves and others and thusly should have their responsibility revoked.
Perhaps Innovators were Aoelia Schenberg's attempt to artificially create perfect people. One of the many projects that may have blown up in his face.
This is probably one of many failed attemps that he needs to address, making his contributions to season 2 still important to the people onboard Ptolemaios II, and the world at large.
Edit:
It appears as if Schenberg only tells on a need-to-know basis, so that people do what they're supposed to do.
He believes he can't control people (and their weaknesses) when he's honest against them, but he can control what he says. He isn't honest, but chooses to manipulate people in order to make them reach his own goal.
A goal that doesn't stop at world peace, according the what Dr. Eiffmann was about to uncover before his death.

Gundam Official announced more of the dub cast:
Sergei Smirnov - Michael Dobson. Dekim Barton, Rashid. So he's definitely got 'old man' down.
Soma Peries - Tabitha St. Germain. Fllay, Shana. Was really hoping for her to get cast as Nena, but she'll be a good Soma. She's a personal favourite of mine.
Marina Ismail - Paula Lindberg. Hasn't done anything I've seen.
Graham Aker - Paul Dobson. NARAKUUUUUUUU!!!
Billy Katagiri - Kirby Morrow. Rey, Van. He's good at young guys, but I don't know how he'll handle an older dude like Billy.
Alejandro Corner - Andrew Kavadas. Patrick Zala, so I guess he's got evil mad man down.

So Happosai is Sergei, no wonder he hangs out with a girl 1/3 his age. And Michael Dobson being Graham is pure win.Destiny_Gundam wrote:Gundam Official announced more of the dub cast:

Don't you mean Paul Dobson? Michael Dobson is Sergei.CasvalRemDeikun wrote:Michael Dobson being Graham is pure win.
Patrick Zala as Alejandro? *cries* I was hoping Treize(David Kaye) would do him. But I guess this works too...
Rey Za Burrel/Trowa Barton as Billy-boy should be interesting, actually.
Looking forward to this very much indeed...

You are very much correct. That was my mistake. That means Happosai AND Naraku are Graham Aker. That equals win squared!Dark Duel wrote:Don't you mean Paul Dobson? Michael Dobson is Sergei.CasvalRemDeikun wrote:Michael Dobson being Graham is pure win.

I am still crossing my fingers on Brian Drummond being Ali.
