Char. My man.
Your half blinded, crippled mobile suit only has a hand left and you're already doing nothing but run away.
You fail to understand OP, just as I did when I first watched CCA.
Char doesn't seem to have a chance. His mech is damaged horrifically, his plans are likely to fail (by this point Amuro made it both in and out of Axis, so he knew something was up), and he's lost some of his most valuable tools on the battlefield.
At this stage, Char has his pride and his concept of honor left. Nothing more. He has lived and fought for nearly two decades, a feeling of inadequacy brewing and questions constantly grinding on him of his own skill. Amuro has beaten him, but the circumstances and the conditions at play each time make him think that perhaps, in this moment, this critical, history altering moment, things can be different.
He wants to win. His ego refuses to allow him to even think otherwise. He HAS to win, for Lalah, who would've been the unconditionally supportive loving figure he saw a mother as being (as the Origin shows us, Char's mom was only a mother to Artesia, not him), for his ideals, and for the sake of himself.
Nanai he sees as ruining this climax of his life, his final battle, his duel to the death, for better or worse, by giving Amuro an excuse for victory. "If Nanai hadn't shelled the Nu Gundam and damaged it, you wouldn't have won" is the thought he just KNOWS will permanently take residence in his head, evicting "If White Base hadn't supported him and the Gundam wasn't so much more advanced than my mechs were, I would have won," the thought that terrifies him now. This memory is one he assumes lurks in Amuro's mind, too. After all, Char knows better than anyone the mental gymnastics done when you lose to a superior machine (he did it over and over again).
Pride and a desire to achieve his ultimate victory as unaided as possible. That is what you see here, OP. That's what makes this beautiful.

By the way, why CCA girls are so bland? Quess acts like she's nothing but a spoiled brat (pretty accurate portrayal of one, actually), Nanai, Kayra and Chan are just talking furniture, Rezin is just a bitchy woman with only purpose to make Quess and Gyunei feel bad and to die.

The sponsors screwed Tomino over. He wanted to retain previous love interests (like Beltrochika for Amuro) but they rejected the ideas he put forth for CCA, making the story less cohesive than he originally envisioned because he had to replace existing cast members with new people.

Nothing of value was lost.

How do you think, will Sunrise try to milk the same cow twice?
>>14031234
That depends. In your question, what are you considering the cow being milked?
>>14031039
You know that is a lie?
>>14031520
By the cow I mean the Tomino's works related to the CCA movie - the novels.
And by milking I mean making a remake of CCA.

The moment I saw the new characters I knew they would die. A shame that Hathaway wasn't a new character
