Line 4:
** The crotch sensor on the Barzam units.
* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Quite a few.
** {{spoiler|Char}}/Quattro:
** Jerid:
** Reccoa:
** Scirocco:
*** He's also a compulsive liar. And, you know, EVIL.
*** Does his stated desire to create a world ruled by a woman stem from a belief that [[Closer to Earth|they're less warlike]]? Or did he actually have a desire to be [[The Man Behind the Man|The Man Behind The Woman]], considering the fact that he's a glorified pickup artist who finds them easy to manipulate and ''does'' manipulate emotionally-unstable ladies like Sarah
** Even Jamitov Hymem of all people gets some of this
*** Supplementary materials says it's the latter and that he purposely filled the Titans with abusive powerhungry assholes so that their actions would eventually cause war. Doesn't really forgive what he did though.
** And then there's the (somewhat) joking interpretation of Haman where the reason she's so angry at Char is because he never slept with her in the time they were together.
* [[Anvilicious]]: Can be seen this way, particularly about how Newtypes are the future, and how our 'souls are bound by gravity' and that we need to move into space to both evolve ourselves as well as give the exhausted Earth some breathing room. It's just the show ''really'' shoves it in your face, but then again, some might argue that [[Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped]].
** Of course, the exact opposite is argued in other ''Gundam'' series, such as Crossbones.
* [[Base Breaking Character]]: Kamille, big time. There are some who find him to be a good replacement to Amuro, whereas others find him annoying for his high angst and tantrums. His detractors even believe that he doesn't deserve his [[Fix Fic]] from the movies.
* [[Complete Monster]]: [[Sociopathic Soldier|Yazan Gable]] and [[Insane Admiral|Bask Om]].
* [[Creepy Awesome]]: Paptimus Scirocco. He's a sexual predator and mind rapist, and yet despite that
* [[
* [[Die for Our Ship]]: Fa has been bashed often and for a REALLY long time by Kamille x Four fans.
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: Scirocco and Four are both really prone to this.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] Apolly, to an extent. He had by far the most character of the minor cast, and
** Also Emma and Henken are still extremely popular characters in the fandom. It might have something to with the fact that the two are likable, (mostly) rational adults that don't wangst or annoy the cast and watchers, [[Only Sane Man|and are overall healthy mentally and emotionally]]. Also fans found the fact that [[Gentle Giant]] Henkin having a crush on [[Action Girl]] Emma [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl|was]] [[Squee|adorable]].
** Haman Karn for being seen as awesome, piloting a cool suit, sexy, her bitchiness, being a good pilot or all of the above. She's especially popular on [[Image Boards|4chan's]] mecha board where she's hailed as the Queen of /m/.
** Also Four seems to have her fans considering she gets saved and joins the heroes in many
** In terms of Mobile Suits
* [[Even Better Sequel]]: As well-liked as the original ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'' may be, most fans feel that ''Zeta Gundam'' is a significant improvement with better writing, action and animation. To many fans, ''Zeta Gundam'' can be compared to other, better sequel installments like ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]'' and ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]''.
** On top of that, it's considered more memorable and influential given how the series is frequently referenced in other anime works and has the best-selling line of model kits.
Line 30 ⟶ 31:
* [[Fanon Discontinuity]]: The movies for the several changes.
* [[Foe Yay]]: Between Haman and Char.
* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Kamille Bidan. Four Murasame is one as well
** Also, Jerid. He may have the personality of a 1980's [[Jerk Jock]] and killed Kamille's mom and Four, but he also lost all the people he genuinely cared for throughout the series because of Kamille.
* [[Love to Hate]]: Yazan Gable and Paptimus Scirocco.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Paptimus Scirocco and Haman Khan go back and forth on this one.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: "Lieutenant Quattro - [[Char Clone|He Is ACHAR]]".
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IUyqenD7kU Zeta PAUNCH!]
** Kamille is also SICK OF ADULTS AND THEIR LIES.
Line 40 ⟶ 41:
* [[Moe]]: Four and Rosamia for some.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]:
** Basque crosses this in the
*** {{spoiler|Apolly wasn't defenseless, he protected Fa when Jerid was about to shoot her. Still, it doesn't change how completely evil Jerid is
** Jamaican get's his own when he orders a [[Colony Drop]] on Granada out of anger when he and his soldiers are forced out of the city.
** Kamille's dad Franklin was a HUGE [[Jerkass]], and he showed it via [[Domestic Abuser|slapping his wife Hilda]] when she calls him out on his shit and
* [[Narm]]: At the end of the episode "Half Moon Love", Kamille's contorting and tortured face, after realizing Sarah had escaped, makes him look like a stoner.
** The sheer amount of times people are beating the crap out of each other. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_StZDxiUIWE There's a video on youtube that's 7 minutes long consisting of nothing but people slapping and punching each other
** The often repeated line about people from Earth having "souls weighed down by gravity." It doesn't matter what you're trying to imply guys, the minute you say that line it becomes impossible to take you seriously.
** Pick one of the lectures on the differences between men and women.
* [[Never Live It Down]]: Kamille calling himself an autistic child and having a girl's name.
* [[Rescued from the Scrappy Heap]]: Beltorchika in her second appearance. Not only she's [[Character Development|more mature and humble]] [[Shallow Love Interest|than she used to be]], but actually earns a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] via
* [[The Scrappy]]: Katz Kobayashi. Some people ''cheered'' when he
** Reccoa becomes one of these in record time following her
** Beltochika as well, but she gets [[Rescued from the Scrappy Heap]] in hear second appearance as noted above.
** Wong Lee, huge cheers when Judau punches him in the sequel.
* [[Tastes Like Diabetes]]: The ending of the ''A New Translation'' trilogy for some.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|They Changed It, Now It Sucks!]]: The movie receives this criticism for removing the [[Downer Ending]], changing the roles of several characters which resulted in the impossibility of the ''Double Zeta'' story.
* [[Wangst]] (Kamille, especially. It's not even a girl's name, you know)▼
** Four, Beltorchika
* [[True Art Is Angsty]]: Aside for the many deaths and dark themes, it has also one of the saddest endings in the franchise and many love the series because of it.
* [[Unintentionally Unsympathetic]]: Like Kamille, Jerid tragically loses many loved ones over the course of the story, but he never changes from being a power-hungry fascist.
** Four, Beltorchika and Katz are all prone to obnoxious bouts of self-pity too.
