What an Idiot!/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

Sometimes, when viewing an arc in an anime or manga, there are times when a viewer feels compelled to shout, "[[What an Idiot!|WTF did you do that for?!]]"

 

* ''[[After War Gundam X]]'' brings up Garrod Ran being hit on from the get go by [[Ms. Fanservice]] Ennil El, who obviously wants him. Sure, she was also engaging him in a business deal, but a blind man could tell she wanted to nail the guy.<br />'''You'd expect''': Sure, he had some reason to be paranoid about her stealing the GX-9900 G-Controller after they got laid, but considering how [[Crazy Prepared]] he usually is, he could've planned ahead, got his rocks off, and both parties could've walked away somewhat better than they did.<br />'''Instead''': He holds a gun on her, which pisses her off for most of the series, and was retroactively responsible for a LOT of things he could have avoided.

* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam AGE]]'' gives us the Veigan who have just found out {{spoiler|that a teenage girl named Yurin L'Ciel is an X-Rounder - alias the AGE version of a Newtype}}. They REALLY want that person as an ally, specially considering that {{spoiler|the other X-Rounder they have handy is an unstable [[Enfante Terrible]], Desil Galette.}}<br />'''You'd expect''': That they go to {{spoiler|Yurin}}'s home, {{spoiler|forcibly recruit her, train her as a pilot and in the use of her abilities and then make her a top pilot. (And maybe get her [[Brainwashed and Crazy]], if needed.) It sorta worked in 00 with Louise, after all.}}<br />'''Instead''': The Veigan {{spoiler|catch a hold of the girl... and then they merely strap her to a cockpit and use her as a living amplifier for the psychopathic Desil's own powers. Predictably, they lose a potentially ''very'' strong [[Dark Magical Girl]] of sorts when she gets killed in battle -- by ''Desil'', of all people.}}
