Mobile Suit Gundam 00/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 46:

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Sumeragi Lee Noriega of the Amazing Rack and Wang Liu Mei of the [[Unlimited Wardrobe|Ever-Changing Wardrobe]].

** Season two gives us the male version of this trope in the form of a certain character [[Wholesome Crossdresser|crossdressing]] and later taking an oddly-timed [[Shower Scene|shower]]...

* [[Narm]]: In general, the characters' tendency to switch to [[Full Name Basis]] during dramatic moments is a rich and delicious source of narm. There are plenty of more specific events as well, though:

** Marina's song. It's supposed to be very dramatic and heart warming, but most people need to turn down the volume it's so enormously bad.

** It is similarly moment-killing how, in the conflict at Point ES-8874 {{spoiler|(Ep. 18, where Celestial Being has to fend off the pursuing A-Laws fleet), everyone's pent-up emotions about the people they value just had to cap it [[The Stoic|with the most aloof characters]] (and the canon [[Cargo Ship]] ones, at that!) in the bunch}}:

** Lyle's [[I Know You're in There Somewhere Fight]] against {{spoiler|Anew}} falls right into this thanks to some hilariously out-of-place rape imagery. See [[Unfortunate Implications]] below.

* [[Replacement Scrappy]]: In story, {{spoiler|Lyle Dylandy}} was this for a while. In fandom he bounces in and out of the trope, since one part of the fandom likes him, another won't stop whining because he's not a carbon copy of his replacee, and yet another hates him because he's ''too much'' like said replacee in the wrong places and feels like [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot]].

* [[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap]]: Saji Crossroad and Louise Halevy, only to be [[Break the Cutie|lovingly tossed into the grinder]]. [[The Woobie|Repeatedly.]] {{spoiler|[[Dead Little Sister|Poor Kinue]]}}.

Line 87:

*** Season 2, episode 21. {{spoiler|Nena Trinity's}} death {{spoiler|at the hands of Louise. The whole thing was pointless and didn't make anyone happy; Louise even breaks down after realizing her parents are still dead and ''nothing'' has changed. Makes it even more sad that neither Nena nor Louise fully seemed to understand what they were doing or even knew who the hell each other truly were.}}

** Season 2, episode 23. {{spoiler|Patrick Colasaur}}'s [[Heroic Sacrifice]]... {{spoiler|even though he lives. This ''is'' <s>Patrick</s> The Immortal Colasaur, after all}}.

* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot]]: Some argue that much of what made the first season so great, such as three well-defined factions with their own internal politics and [[Anti Villain|Anti Villains]], was largely discarded in the second season with one united Earth government {{spoiler|controlled by Ribbons}} that simply seems like a carbon copy of the Earth Federation from Universal Century, and few sympathetic characters outside of the few left over from the first season.

* [[Trapped By Mountain Lions]]: Saji Crossroad and Louise Halevy, who were used to provide the "normal civilian" view of Celestial Being's world-changing events, at least until episode 18 of season one.

** Marina Ismail seems to be this for the entire run.
