Quattro is a CHAR, bro. He masks his true identity to fulfill ulterior motives. It's an intrinsic trait among all CHARs.

You are right about Harry, though. He doesn't have his own mysterious agenda (from what we see in Turn-A anyway) and doesn't hide his identity. He's not a real CHAR. He's just a dude who where's glasses all the time.

The whole point of Char is that he hides behind a mask, constantly hiding his true intentions and manipulating others.
Kira Yamato manages to manipulate not only characters in SEED, but also the whole AUDIENCE. His mask is the absence of a mask. He is so succesful, he manages to worm his way into replacing the protagonist of Destiny

I wish his politics had more depth and screen time during the season. It felt like he just slid into position with a little help from his orphans instead of secretly orchestrating an ingenious coup. It isn't intrinsically great but considering how dull the series was it could have really stood out. I guess Season 2 will be alright but without the build-up it just feels dead.

Not really. I mean he gives newbies a hard time, but he can't even handle a guy like Jerid and ended up having Kamille kill him. Just think about how poor Char's performance was against Amuro and White Base. He never does anything but get his ass kicked, his greatest accomplishment in front of Amuro is literally taking out some guy in a hovercraft with his Z'Gok and that was from the guy going full retard.

Imagine if it was Rau, Rau would just run around Amuro and target the White Base. Who gives a shit about the Gundam if it can't hit you early on in the series? Those damn ships literally have a glass window on the bridge, you take that out and it's guaranteed win every time. There was no fucking Mwu La Flaga to guard the ship. Amuro was the best pilot from day 1 and somehow Char still failed to do a simple hit and run.

>>
>>14094892
Zechs was fun, Milliardo was shit.
>>
>>14097288

I haven't seen all the series, but from what I have, I think Char is by far the worst. This is only because he's a repeat victim of shit writing.

He was always delusional and trying to self-rationalize all the terrible shit he's done. Garma trusted him as a beloved and loyal friend, but gets killed because of Char's petty grudge against someone else. Not only was he conniving backstabber if it wasn't for his betrayal the Zeon forces would have destroyed the enemy's most pivotal military asset and substantially increased the chances of winning the war in favor of the spacenoids.

For Zeta he assumed yet another alter ego Quattro who was a CHAR within a CHAR. It's literally CHAR-ception so he can CHAR while he CHARs and other such memes.

By CCA he's become some militant egomaniac who incites another conflict throwing all of humanity into the desolation of war and hellbent on destroying all life on Earth like the cartoon super-villain that he is. If that wasn't bad enough, he's alluded to being a pedophile multiple times and the worst part is that that theory holds weight.

And between these three stages of the character we don't see any development in how changes from one to the other. He simply changes hats for whatever role he's playing at the time: From anti-hero maverick to exiled outlaw to noble despot. Whatever connections string each persona is mostly arbitrary.

>>
>>14098484
>a character who does bad things is a bad character
>garma

I'll greentext until you give me reasons why he's actually a bad character, which so far has been the seeming disconnect between his appearances, which can be pieced together rather easily if you think about the massive political shifts between the series. A ton of time passes between MSG and CCA, I think Amuro is 29 at the end for perspective. In an era as hectic as UC, it's not surprising that he'd have to change positions to continue achieving his goal.
>>
>>14098542

The viewer is supposed to understand that it's not a black and white situation and that both characters have their reasons for what they're doing, have their good and have their bad.

Californian here, nothing of value would be lost.
>>
>>14098468
>egomania: an obsessive preoccupation with one's self, something Char never had

Please stop sucling Char's dick. Char has always been about putting his ego and petty selfish desires above others (with the exception of Lalah). his actions in CCA exemplify this:

>Hey, I'm gonna give Amuro highly advanced NT technology since my ego can't handle it if I beat him while he's in an inferior mobile suit. This won't backfire on me AT ALL.
>>
>>14098542
>He's invading Earth without a casus belli.

Zeon was already at with the Federation for a couple of months before starting their invasion of Earth. Also, it's not like Garma just up and decided to invavde Earth by himself. His actions were sanctioned by Zeon authority as part of a massive operation. And he was fairly successful at it, too, since it led to the Zeon forces occupying almost two-thirds of the Earth's surface.
>>
>>14094882
Char also piloted a gundam family
>>
>>14095010
I always forget that's actually what he is,like imagine if amuro appeared after CCA and witnessed the events of Unicorn and Hathaway's flash
>>
>>14098649
MSG: Revenge for his father and then Lalah, not ego
Zeta: Fuck Titans, not ego
CCA: To save humanity we must make them Newtypes, oh also let's give Amuro psycoframe

That isn't egomania except for the psycoframe. Just because they're his desires doesn't mean he isn't furthering a larger cause.
>>
>>14098821

Unicorn would reinforce his beliefs if anything and Hathaway's Flash is non-canon given that it's built on the ending of Beltorchika's Children and assumes events that don't happen in Char's Counterattack - like Hathaway's killing Quess. So he couldn't witness it.
>>
>>14098468
>>implying Garma's death wasn't one of Char's best moments
Garma did nothing to Char to warrant being killed by him. Char even remarks that it wasn't personal and that he was just trying to get back at Garma's father. In what circumstance is that okay?

>>implying Char wasn't a huge help to Zeon up until his betrayal, at which point Zeon was already done for
Not really. Zeon had more control of Earth than the Federation did by the time MSG started and wiping out White Base, it's crew, and the Gundam and saved Zeon some major heartache. With them out of the picture and their Earth Force Commander still alive, Zeon could have defended against Operation Odessa and their attack on Jaburo may have been successful.

>>egomania: an obsessive preoccupation with one's self, something Char never had
Char tried to self-rationalize all the morally wrong things he did. That's a hallmark of egomania. In CCA, he thought the right thing to do was extinguish all lifeforms on Earth. Let that sink in...

>>implying he ever threw himself at a woman besides Lalah when there was only a three year difference
He rebuffed every potential relationship with a woman of legal age. In CCA it was remarked that he only likes young girls which is evidenced in how warmly he treats Quess in comparison to others.
>>
>>14098382

I thought that was mostly symbolic of his inability to escape from his past.

Gyunei's remark implies that he's not the only one who thinks that. To compound that, Char snubs any every other woman of age who has had romantic feelings for him on screen (Reccoa, Haman, Nanai). Even Amuro was able to move on after Lalah. CCA made Char being a pedo fan-canon.

Therein lies the flaw in logic of his plan: He wants to cause a catastrophe on the level of global extinction just to get a single species off the Earth.

There is no "just the humans" since there is no evidence that Char's plan of dropping Axis and causing a nuclear winter will target only humans.

Char was plan was batshit. You can't argue against that.

That's the actual genius of Char.

He is a murderous, delusional, narcissistic pedophile who is clearly insane, and yet he is so cool and charismatic that you still end up liking the guy somehow.
>>
>>14101058

Char literally admits that he just used Quess like a machine to Amuro. Char was under no illusion that Quess could be Lalah - he was at the point where he was willing to use newtypes as a tool to achieve his goals without second thought.
>>
>>14106664
>you still end up liking the guy

speak for yourself.

Char was easy to understand in MSG if you simplify him as someone who is just seeking vengeance doing anything to satiate his bloodlust. That's why Char's most popular depiction is his MSG version. By CCA he it's clear that he's crazy and vain and even petty.

As a German, I have to say this is one of the most stupid names I have ever heard. It literally translates to Riddle Fine-taster (or Riddle Gourmet). Why do japs love taking random German words and selling them as names?

This guy gets it, Char is a character who is beloved despite his flaws, or for them. It's kind of like people who like Reuenthal from LoGH.

>>14106839

There's humour in Germany, it's just sort of illegal there if you are not authorized to have any. You have to know a guy to get hands on it. Just don't do it in outside your home or in your car where people can see.
>>
>>14106839
Are you telling me that Chaos Legion's protag, Sieg Wahrheit, is called that because it's humorous? It translates to victory truth. Some dev just wanted to be omg2deep and really liked German words, which is a common theme with japs apparently.
Don't get me wrong, it's funny, but it makes taking those characters seriously nigh impossible.
>>
>>14106839
But it doesn't even translate to mysterious gourmet. It translates to riddle gourmet. And because German writes descriptors of words as one word (I.e. Riddlegourmet instead of riddle gourmet) it makes even less sense.

And honestly it just sounds really really bad if you know the language. Funny nonetheless

She is a tool (or machine as some subs render it), but not just because she's a mobile suit pilot. She's also one because she's a replacement for Lalah. He wants her to teach him to be a true newtype and his speech with Nanai essentially confirms it.

Gyunei does flat out confirm and that his interest in Quess isn't romantic and it's because she can teach him to be a true newtype. Which is part of the tragedy of Quess and newtypes as a whole: everyone is using them to do something. Including Gyunei, who wants to use her to become better than Char and prevent more colony destruction like those that killed his parents.

No.

Corrin is a "Red" which just means he's an ace pilot who is enough of a faggot to pilot a custom colored MS. Not all Reds are CHARs and not all CHARs pilot red MS.
>>
>>14109086

Corin only hated the Gundam for one or two episodes around the mid-point of the show. Prior to that he was hurt fighting it on orders and thought it and showed a recognition of Gundams without any real emotion. He doesn't even appear in much of the show and pilots even less.
>>
>>14107286
>Isn't Corrin the char?

No. Corin doesn't have the traits to be a CHAR. All CHAR hide their identity for very personal reasons to fulfill their own motivations which do not necessarily align with goals of the much bigger organization they're a part of.

Corin does neither. He was brought to Earth and to simply fight as a hired gun. He went crazy after he lost the to the ∀ and then regained his senses after defeating a paper mache replica of the ∀. He would later even help fight along side it.

I don't think Harry is a CHAR either since he doesn't hide his identity or have ulterior motives.
>>
>>14101263

Except he doesn't snub Nanai, and as for the other two, not wanting to stick your dick in crazy is perfectly reasonable.

I'll concede Haman, but Reccoa was pretty stable and before she defected.

Char only keeps Nanai around just as a facade like how politicians running for office make a show of their spouses during election season. Away from the public eye Nanai and Char are very distant.

Is this a /liveactionnever/ thread?

Can we do actors that actually fit with the times? I always see people suggest 12 A-listers who are 20-40 years too old for their parts just because they're the most popular generic [race] guy/gal. Let's find people actually in their early 20s who could pass as teens, not 35 year olds who could almost pass as early 20s.

And no need to go crazy with race accuracy. If they look close enough and you think they could actually pull a decent performance of the character, it's totally fine.
