Hm... I can't really decide myself.
G Gundam with it's unique, but strange concept, or Gundam Wing with it's hypocritical and shallow characters...
I think my vote is on G Gundam. :)

Yeah...I'll go with G Gundam I guess. G Gundam isn't drawn AS well though. Yet, the movie Endless Waltz was lame. And G Gundam has great music.

isn't G Gundam like the Gundam version of japanese Sentei(spelling?) shows? cuz if its is I believe I attempted to stab my eyes and ear drums when i saw burning gundam doing "GODO FINGA" in that Gundam Evolve episode.
should be called either Gudam Ball Z or Might Morphin Power Gundams.
I just kid I havn't seen the whole series so I can hardly judge.

I'd rather watch Gundam X or any of the UC Gundam series... :P
IMO, Mobile Fighter G Gundam isn't to be taken seriously. It deviates from standard Gundam "warfare", so I can accept the ridiculous Gundam designs, cheesy lines, and a light story.
Gundam Wing, on the other hand, I also liked (actually, this is the first Gundam series that I've seen that made me hooked to other Gundam series...), in terms of mechanics and mecha battles. However, flawed characters, boring storyline and senseless and repeated talks about "peace", "pacifism", "war", etc. (read: Relena Peacecraft) shoot this series in the foot.
Given the two, I can stand G Gundam more than Gundam Wing.

Since i like the more traditional gundam shows, i'll go for Gundam Wing... G Gundam is like a cross between gundam+dragon ball+super robots... which i find a bit interesting... but it did go against the gundam theme one way or the other... as an example, it is the only gundam show where the characters actually shout the names of their attacks... not doing so was one of the key features of gundam that made it different from the super robots of the 70's. why? because it was more realistic to not shout your attacks... can you immagine amuro shouting GUNDAM HAMMER!!! or BEAM RIFFLE!!! when he used those? :P
Wing on the other hand had most of the elements that made gundam shows great... it had pilots that did not shout "BUSTER RIFFLE!!!" it had politics, and etc... the but it also had its flaws... like emotionless characters... weak plot... an uber powerfull weapon slammed in a gundam... and a main pilot that can say only one phrase, which is "I WILL KILL YOU...":amuse other than those weak points, gundam wing is definitely better than G...
I liked seed better than those 2, but it also had its flaws... but over all i think SEED>WING>G...

W is consisted of 5 cockroaches who refuse to die and an aweful plot behind the flat storyline while having the most ugly female main character.
G is a Dragon ball Z version of gundam with some retarded grotesque mechas which deserves to be considered as pollution to the eye. Also the character's line is corny.
When it comes to the question which sucks less, I might have to vote for W since WZC is my second favorable MS next to Destiny.

Hmm Good point. Maybe I like Shinn because I am also anti-social? :blink Just kidding.
I do agree that the relationship between Glady and Dul is not well developped, and Neo deserved to get killed by Shinn in the end instead of becoming a Char clone inside that golden MS.
However the idea which they arrange the fight between two main characters (Shinn and Kira) is cool and kind unique.
The def for Shinn is a bit subtle but we can assume that deep inside of him, he wanted to protect Orb which explains in the end he burst joyful tears upon the message "Orb was saved". (Sigh: Again, dont let a kid do a man's job. Shinn is not badass enough to take down Kira.)
One more thing I would like to mention, Dul is not really evil. He did whatever it took for a politic to achieve his goal. His ideal is yet to be tested and we will never be able to justify destiny plan (Screw the hypocrite Lacus).
Now we all know there is gona be another sequal to Seed Destiny since the world is going back into a chaos again.

I personally liked the light heartedness of G Gundam. Its a change of pace from the regular gundam formula and it turned out pretty good in my opinion. It was not ment to be taken seriously, and if you dont it is a good show. Wing was good to, but I enjoyed G Gundam more.

I agree on both points.
But the fact is that Gundam Wing WAS terrible. At least G Gundam had a story and 3 dimensional characters.
G > Wing. Actually, I think G > All Gundams, but that's only because I don't care much for giant robots - a romance made G tolerable to me. I can see why most people would consider G one of the lesser Gundams, but Wing just SUCKED.

Two key points of why G Gundam is sooooooooooooooooooooo much better than the crap that is Gundam Wing.
#1 - Rain (yummy)
#2 - Bakunetsu God Finger Sekiha Love Love Tenkyoken (best move in anime, ever)
And the story was good too. XD But in all seriousness, it had the best drama and character interaction and development, unlike the cookie cutter G-Boys... ugh. It was a Gundam show and love story at the core, and it worked well. Definately my fave of all the Gundam series (and I'm a big UC fan).
If you intend to watch it seriously, you might want to watch the subbed version. I tried watching the dub, but it made my ears bleed. And c'mon, God Gundam >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Burning Gundam. ^^

No offense, but, G Gundam ISN'T really Gundam, like people said before, Gundam Wing looks more like original gundam series than G Gundam. I mean G gundam was really different. I don't like it.
I Know that many true Gundam Fans thinks that both Wing and G are one of the lesser Gundam Series. But still, Gundam Wing is FAR much better than G Gundam. And besides, let's admit it, Gundam Wing has really cool Gundams. (WingZeroCustom,HeavyArms,AltronCustom etc etc.)
As a protest, that Gundam Wing is much better than G Gundam, I put a Gundam Wing avatar/signature:amuse
Gundam Wing is far more better then the other Gundam series... It is a real dude anime which I like about animes that are ment for guys xDD
I mean! Gundam Seed, thats for guys and girls! :notrust so it makes it more girlish, which I dislike about an anime :noworry I say gundam Wing is the best! xDD

Yeah, I kinda agree, that the male characters are good looking for the girls. But so is Gundam Seed, Kira,Shinn, Athrun/Asuran (don't know whats the right spelling). They are kinda all Bishounen. But I guess if they wasn't, then only boys will watch Gundam series, So they got to do this, so that girls will watch it, I guess...(i'm not a girl so I don't know the reason...).
Anyway, they also say that Wing was kinda made for the Western market, to make Gundam more accessible.
(That's why it's also called "New Mobile Report Gundam Wing". Normally it would be Mobile Suit Gundam bla bla bla. So it's kinda different than what Gundam would be. But hey, It's still better than that (crap) G Gundam.:amuse

I took the time to download both of the subbed versions. And Gundam Wing came out on top. G Gundam was just weird, and the plot wasn't that great. While I will admit Gundam Wing has an advantege because it was my first Gundam series, it actaully had a decent plot, with interesting and diverse characters. Plus the Mobile Suit designs outclass those of G Gundam.

G Gundam, by far. Its a pretty good series, with a great cast, and some good comedy and serious stuff(consecutive deaths of Schwartz and Master Asia). It was over the top, but that was part of what made it great.
Gundam Wing is the worst 'real Gundam' series(SD is worse, but...), and an embarassment to the franchise. It was the first Gundam I ever saw, and thankfully Toonami quickly aired Mobile Suit Gundam, because otherwise I may have never become a Gundam fan.
Wing was rediculous with a lame cast of unbeatable pretty boys, almost no likable characters aside from Treize(Wufei was alright for a little while, as was Lady Une, but they both grew stale later on, too), and retarded fake 'philosophy'. Killing in the name of pacifism, what the hell is that?
The final episode is a trainwreck of epic proportion.
Only slight dramatization:
*Heero and Zechs fighting a pointless battle*
Heero: I want pacifism.
Zechs: I want to achieve pacifism, by killing you, and millions of people so that the world learns pacifism.
World: Hey, we're ready for pacifism now.
Zechs: Quiet, you!
Not to mention that fight was like Nu Gundam vs. Sazabi from Char's Counterattack, without all the good parts, and there being no reason for them to actually fight.
How anyone can enjoy Wing with all that crap going on is beyond me...

Bingo! :P Just what my opinion is. Though G-gundam isn't the greatest it's far better then Wing in every section except maybe MAYBE animation but everything else far better, ESPECIALLY THE ENDING. Well all in all TO ME G-Gundam hands down owned Wing.

If Zeta Gundam is "mobile suit penissery with guns and explosions and retarded plots.", then my idea of good plot and characters must be rather of, considering what a great series I think it is in those regards.

G Gundam is by far, MUCH better then Gundam Wing. Let's break it down:
G Gundam was essentially what Tomino's Gundam was about, relationships and God knows G Gundam really banged that through. The plot was simple, sure, but it was dramatic and well directed and written, without the extrodinary writing team and the great direction, G Gundam would have been lost. Wing on the other hand, never seemed to really go anywhere, the G-Boys got annoying, the Gundam's were so overpowered Wing made the MSG (1979) look more realistic then the 1995 NMRGW.
That and Wing had clips shows, for the love of God, clips shows!! What's with that.
MAHQ (mahq.com) has detailed reviews on both series, compare and you'll see what makes G Gundam so much better (at least in my opinion).

I really love Gundam Wing. I've watched mech animes since i was a little kid. I had two episodes of Robotech on VHS, and i would watch that none stop, i must have been about 7 - 8 (I'm almost 18 now).
People say there are lots of flaws in GWing, but i usually fail to see how them people are right. Most of the time they are wrong. I've not seen G-Gundam so i can't choose between the both, but i'm atleast going to give Gundm wing a few points.
Spoilers for ALL of Gundam Wing Anime/Manga
The Gundam Wing Boys are emotionless. That has to be the most common, and that's all Heero's fault. Heero shows so little emotion that it's not noticeable, unless you look hard and you understand his feelings. No matter how many times he tells Relena, Zechs, or Trieze "I'll kill you." he doesn't. Relena still lives, Zechs kinda sacrificed himself, and Wufei was the one to kill Treize. Heero was trained not to show emotion, but it's there. When he killed that little girl by accident, he didn't show any emotion, but he still picked up the little dog and flower the girl had given him. No one knows where, but he never forgot. He never forgot the day her killed her in the accident. Becuase of Heero people fail to see the emotion in the other characters. I mean saying that Quatre, Wufei and Duo have no emotion is biggest load of rubbish i can ever hear about them. When Quatre's father is killed he cries, when he shoots Trowa and he goes missing, Quatre never stops blaming himself. When Wufei's colony was destoried and when he finally kills Treize, he burst into tears... I think that's an emotion... yeah it's called Sadness, depression, what ever you want to call it, but it is emotion. Duo... well he's just duo lol. Okay now Trowa... It's true Trowa doesn't have emotion, but can you blame him? He lost his family, he doesn't know his name,
It has a weak plot line. Huh, yeah right. People who don't undestand politics may say that alot, but in truth it's plot line is one of the most advanced things i've watched in years. And it's all political, which is what you'd expect in a war. Yeah, It's a war! Wars are usually started and ended by politics, with a whole lot of politics in the middle. The constant shift of the organisations in power is normal. and having Gundams as a rebal alliance is normal too.
The Gundam Wing boys have very little past Well obvioulsy these people haven't read the Episode 0 manga.... Point closed
Other points
First thing i want to say is it's not chessy. If you really want cheesy, watch the english version of Sailor Moon, believe me, i own the english sailor moon and i know the definition of 'cheesy'. (the Japanese is better :P)
Next thing is the gundams are rare models, there's only five of them to begin with. Then there's the repacements and updates. Now as i've said i haven't watched G-Gundam, but it seems that there are lots of them, at least 40. doesn't seem right to me. As I said they arte rare MS and hard to make. and if that isn't the case in G-Gundam, then why?
I started reading up on G-Gundam when i got into GWing and I couldn't help but gag at the 'Mobile Trace System'. Give me Manual Controls anyday. They make a lot more sense (except in Endless Waltz, when Trowa does his circus'y flip in his Gundam. Either he's VERY talented or it makes no sense.) There were other things that made me laugh or gag. Hyper-mode, and Super-mode; Remided me of Digimon, DBZ or Sailor Moon. It was very amusing to read up.

Well... that was the whole point of creating the Alternate Universes anyway, to break the mold from what Gundam followed. It's just a quasi super robot series with Gundams as the fighters. It never tried to be anything UC like, unlike Wing which it's story pales in comparison.

I like both series. But G Gundam is my fav series of all the Gundam series.
The story, the characters, the way things turned out. A win-win.
Gundam Wing turned me off a lot with the constant angsty characters and too much random killing

G Gundam, I love the story, the character and the twists. Gundam Wing was nice but, I kinda forced myself to watch the last 10 episodes, it started getting boring. G Gundam was a really good series. Ofcourse Gundam Wing's Gundam are drawn better since they have improved over a couple of years, so its common sense for the suits to be better drawn. Other than that.....
G Gundam FTW

Gundam Wing especially Waltz was drawn many times better than G Gundam. I also think that G Gundam had a very DBZ esque power explosion that kind of seamed a little strange to me. Besides the Wing pilots were much more B.A than the G Gundam pilots by far.

But i also like W gundam simply because of the nostolgia i get, it was my very first gundam series after all. But the end reminded me of a few other gundams before that i could mention, so it doesnt score in originality.
Over all i'll have to put W gundam ahead of G gundam, simply because it pulls off the main dudes killing fodder enemies easier, with that "zero system" implanted. Works better to me then somehow having a super saiyan mode without explanation (lol@g gundam gold)

Seriously, I gotta say it's a tough pick. Either Wing Zero or God/Burning Gundam could solo either side. It all depends on which is greater, Zero or God/Burning? I'd probably have to go with Zero since it's buster cannon has a wide area of damage and God/Burning Gundam would get caught in it.

Gundam Wing's 'plot' was just a nonsensical, jumbled together remix of the plots of Mobile Suit Gundam, Zeta Gundam and Char's Counterattack, but with all the character moments taken out and a bunch of nonsense added in every so often to make it seem deep.

06-23-2008, 03:54 PM
...jeeze lahweeze, so many people here not getting the point of either G-Gundam or Gundam Wing.
Back in the start of 1994, Gundam was in a bit of a slump. Yoshiyuki Tomino, the man who had made Gundam what it is from day one, had just called it quits - trying to sink his own franchise with the 1993 work Victory Gundam. While sales for the OVAs being released at the time (0080 and 0083) were solid and well, the ratings for Victory Gundam were literally in the toilet - far worse than the ratings for Mobile Suit Gundam's first series... which was cancelled due to low ratings!
So Sunrise wanted to do something new. But what? Tomino was gone, he didn't want to do any more. The Universal Century was apparently being tapped dry (ironic, considering Japan now can't get enough of it, it seems), so what could they do? And all of this was going on with 1994 also being Gundam's 15th Anniversary!
So Sunrise brought in a new director and told him to do as he wished. This guy decided to actually pay tribute to all those Super Robot shows Gundam had made a concentrated effort to 'escape' back in 1979 - Daitarn-3, Zambot-3, the Getter Robo franchise and the Mazinger family of shows, among others (perhaps ironically, Tomino's works before Gundam were mostly super robot shows, such as Daitarn and Zambot). However, he also wanted to keep Gundam's message about war being bad and the other themes of the Gundam franchise intact. So the new development team combined them together - and it certainly didn't help that a certain fighting anime that had been based around finding seven orange orbs to grant a wish was in it's prime popularity either.
Thus, G-Gundam was born.
The series was a drastic change from what came before. The announcer actually looked to the audience to tell them what was going on in this Future Century, where colonies were literally vast chunks of Earth's Real-Estate that had been ripped from the ground itself and carted into space. And if that weren't enough, there wasn't even a Gundam to be stolen/found in the first episode (a proud tradition that, quite frankly, only 0080 had actually broken beforehand - but never a series...!)! Domon Kashuu started out with the Gundam - and he proved himself to be not only a capable pilot, but a martial artist of insane skill within the first episode alone! That's right, the fans were in for something different. Yet... it was familiar all the same.
And that's why I love G-Gundam. The show bucked the trends worn thin by UC, yet kept the main themes of Gundam all the same. Despite going back to Gundam's Super Robot heritage (some might even argue Tokusatsu heritage as well - the Kamen Riders and Power Rangers/Sentai shows of olden days), the show retained the main themes of 'war sucks' and 'humanity may try for peace, but we often fail - only to try again.' But the way they were presented were different. And we even gained new themes - those of 'friendship' (something that had never really been touched upon at all) and 'united, we can do anything.' That last one was a little interesting, considering that the former theme is needed to use the latter - and Gundam had barely focused on the idea of friendship outside 'we work together on the same side.'
G-Gundam, meanwhile, promoted the idea of 'no matter our nationality, we can and will work together.' Despite the stereotypes lopped on top of each Gundam from each country, G-Gundam could actually be considered one of the more progressive anime out there - no one country is considered inferior to another. Compare this to Destiny, where Orb is literally a Japan that can do no wrong, and you've got a drastic difference.
Of course, G-Gundam has flaws of it's own. It's a little too fantastical for Gundam - the technology and the moves Domon continually pulls out of his nether regions are comparable to most Super Robot anime - especially the more recent Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann. The voice acting on both sides of the shore is lacking - but in a cheesy way that hearkens back to the Super Robot days of yore in the 1970's before Gundam was around.
On top of this, G-Gundam might be a little too positive. Despite the sheer love of the Earth that all the Gundam Fighters had in the end, it turned out that none of the countries really trusted one another. After all, Neo-Holland had 40 different Hurricane Gundams hidden in their colony - and Neo-Egypt had the Sphinx Gundam. Neo-America had their Statue of Liberty Cannon (and a Neo-MacArthur, to boot), and Neo-Denmark had thousands of Mermaid Gundam prototypes hidden within a massive mothership. And yet, after all this betrayal and breaking of treaties, the ending is still positive that the Gundam Fight will work - despite the inherent flaws within.
After G-Gundam, Bandai realized that creating an alternate universe was a great thing. So, of course, they made another - one much closer to the UC than G-Gundam was. With a new era in warfare fast approaching, one vastly different from the WWII upon which the Universal Century was based upon, Gundam Wing was born.
Oddly enough, one could consider Wing ahead of it's time in terms of themes. Only now are we starting to replace warriors on the battlefield with machines, 12 years after Wing thought it was probable. However, it's not with Mobile Dolls, but with scouting drones and roaming gun turrets. The theme of 'humans vs machines' was something brand-new to the Gundam franchise; something so drastic, it hasn't been used since.
On top of that, Wing was the first series to look upon the 'why' of war - not just the events of the war, but the effects it had on the people as well as how the war happened in the first place (all of the other shows just had the war 'in progress' as we joined our characters - extremely so in CCA). Certainly, First Gundam took efforts to show how the Side-7 refugees were displaced, as well as how Amuro's mother coped... but that was it. 0080 also touched upon the idea, but barely went beyond Al's limited point of view. Wing, however, literally took a roaming trip all around the Earth Sphere and beyond in finding out what many people thought of the events whirling around them. We saw Relena's PoV, we saw the PoV of the little child and her Grandfather, we saw the PoV of the victim of War's cruelty (Sylvia Noventa... but don't worry if you don't remember her). The audience was treated with so many different points of view, the Gundam Pilots were often lost in the shuffle of the plot itself, with characters like Wufei shoved aside for a good dozen episodes or more.
Like G before it, Wing also kept the previous messages of 'friendship' and 'together, we can beat anything,' but lessened the impact of them to an extent. While the pilots would still make connections on a personal level, there would be no magical pulling-attacks-from-the-nether-regions in order to save the day like in G (unless you read the Wing series' manga ending, unofficial as it was). Wing also kept the messages of 'war sucks' and 'humanity repeats it's mistakes' as well - with much of an emphasis on the former. Entirely new to Gundam, though, was the idea of pacifism. The UC OVAs had toyed with the idea of neutrality (as did first, with Side-6), but Wing was the first to try and deliver the overly-idealistic message of total pacifism. Not that everyone in the show agreed with it, but hey.
Also, as with G-Gundam, Wing continued to buck the trend of (insert main character) finds/steals Gundam. This time around, all 5 of the Gundams (another aspect borrowed from G, as well as the director's previous work of Shogun Warriors) were owned by teens from the start... all of whom had some major training with the unit before the start of the series.
It should also be noted that, compared to the WWII of UC, Wing was a lot closer to Vietnam in tone. No one really wanted the war, but they were in the middle of it, so they might as well try to finish the war off (and please, refrain from Iraq comments).

[Concluded, due to text limitations.]
However, Wing suffered from some serious flaws as well. Much like a diamond ring with a crack in it, had the flaws been fixed the entire package would be beautiful. As it is, Wing is just left at 'so close, so far.'
The biggest flaw is the lack of backstory in the animation. The best we got was the narrator giving us a vague summary of the events of the last 15 years - and even then, it wasn't enough to be fully prepared without extensive minor flashbacking by a few characters. And, had internal politics not gotten in the way, we would have gotten the backstory needed.
The manga Episode Zero was set to become the events taking place in episodes 27 and 28, further fleshing out the After Colony era and giving many characters a much-needed depth and background. Characters like Heero might not have needed the depth, but other characters like Wufei and Duo actually suffered quite a lot from the lack. Wufei's actions, without the depiction of his wife's demise, comes off as completely chauvinistic and woman-hating - while all he was trying to do was make sure another woman didn't die in vain while he was around (unfortunately, much of the fanbase has latched onto the stereotype, blowing it even further out of proportion). With Duo, it's rather similar. Without the pain and loss in his life shown in the animation, so-called fans have presumed Duo to be completely sane and always happy... when it's almost completely obvious that the happiness and sanity is just a mask covering the shattered remains of his childhood (Parents? Dead. The orphan, Solo, he took his name from? Dead. Orphan group he was with? Scattered or dead. The church that took him in? Slaughtered. Not a good basis for sanity).
Admittedly, we do still have Episode Zero's manga form. And it was taken from the actual scripts intended for the episodes themselves - however, Wing itself seriously lacks the punch needed by including Episode Zero (it should be noted that Gundam 00 also seems to have the idea of an 'Episode Zero' by including child Setsuna in episode 1).
Another problem with Wing was the fact that the plot could get somewhat convoluted at times. Many of my friends who enjoyed the show would get confused over the randomly-popping-up factions like the White Fang and the Treize Faction. Well, to be specific, the White Fang. Literally, they did come out of nowhere - a nowhere that would have been somewhere had Episode Zero been put into episode format.
The only other major problem was a lack of romance. Really, while this is technically unimportant, it sticks out to come after G - which had a really large romance between Domon and Rain. This really gave certain fans a base with which to launch baseless yaoi and random pairings based on no more than a few minutes' footage (Trowa x Relena? Relena x Wufei? When did THEY meet?). However, this is somewhat understandable when one factors in the fact that the Director admits to believing he couldn't write a good romance - not to mention that the main 5 pilots were only 15. And, hey, the two pairings we did get officially (Treize x Une and Noin x Zechs) were surprisingly well-done, so it almost cancels it all out.
However, despite these flaws, I still enjoy watching Wing - perhaps because of the Heavyarms Disco stock footage, or maybe because it's a unique plot on it's own. Or maybe because its my first Gundam show.
As for which I like more... I won't decide. They're both excellent shows - and both are well within my 'top ten' for Gundam.

Lol.
He was saying that Wing wins hands down, because of G Gundam's "Mummy Gundam", not because "Mummy Gundam" was in Wing Gundam.
He just worded it, kinda funny I guess.

Domon was justa little too overdramatic to me. I mean how many times do u have to learn the same lesson before it hits. He's as much of a block head as Yususke.
but both were great series.

I consider Wing to be the second worst Gundam. Only SD is worse imo.
The originals are the best anyway. G takes this easily.

I'd love to hear your reasoning for that, Mr. Irvine. After all, you claim the 'orignials' are better, yet insult SD Gundam - a franchise built upon spoofing the original Gundam series in a comedic light.
Then again, perhaps you mean SD Gundam Force, which is an entirely different series all together and was actually tolerable compared to other Gundam shows out there (it had a much more coherent and unique plot than Ms igLoo, for example), albeit insanely low-budget and just plain marketed to the wrong crowd in America (the tone, the pastels, the themes - it was meant for early-morning children's programming).
But considering that, it makes me wonder if you've only seen the ones aired in America.
If so, then... really... you've not seen the worst of the worst. How one can rank Wing below Seed Destiny, Victory or Ms igLoo is far beyond my understanding.

I watched every episode, didn't the whole series end with the colonies vs the AI earth army (or was it the otherway around? who cares more shit blow up, a person who shouldn't have died lost to the asian boy....). A series like gundam wing would get at least a 7/10 if it wasn't for the emo warriors....Duo is the only believeable character in the whole series. When Hero (or however you want to spell his dumb name) decided to blow up his gundam I was like "YES THE *** IS DEAD!!!", when I found out he was still alive....weak story, plot twist that no one above the age of 14 would findd remarkable. I mean seriously giant space battle with AI robots? meh, at least shit blow up which is all the series really has to offer. I didn't watch G Gundam, mainly because it sounds over the top and ridiculous (shining finger...), but it is by no way a show even remotely watchable to a grown man, unless your expecting it to be god damn awful and you want to see something blow up and nothing else...sure Gundam Wing is a show that is brainless fun that tries to have a brain but doesn't seem to know how to spell brain.

I watched every episode,
Had you actually paid attention to those episodes, you wouldn't be throwing around generalizations that have nothing to do with the series.
The term 'emo' doesn't apply to any of the characters in Wing, seeing how none of them are actually suicidal, no one is morbidly obscessed with pain, none of the characters 'angst' during actual animated moments in the series... hell, the term 'emo' doesn't even remotely apply. But because the stereotype has been applied to every living thing in existence by now, Wing must be emo!
And 'gay'? Wow, a fantastic insult... had any character in the series shown anything remotely like homosexual tendencies. Even the most-assumed pairing of Trowa and Quatre didn't even hint at anything more than a close friendship!
Like I said, had you paid attention to Wing...
didn't the whole series end with the colonies vs the AI earth army (or was it the otherway around?
Other way around.
I can't help but laugh - something tells me you've not seen Wing since it was last shown on Toonami back in 2002... 6 years ago at this point. This, of course, means that what few things you did remember have been distorted and changed by the mere status of memory being an ever-changing and intangible thing
who cares more shit blow up, a person who shouldn't have died lost to the asian boy....).
And the fact that you don't remember names further adds to this. I'm assuming you mean Treize, who lost to Wufei in actual combat. Because he didn't lose on purpose, but because Wufei was far more skilled than him (just working with horrid melee weaponry compared to the saber of the Tallgeese II)
Duo is the only believeable character in the whole series.
Duo might be my own personal favorite character for Wing, but... the rest of the cast is also pretty believable in their own ways.
When Hero (or however you want to spell his dumb name)
Heero.
It's Japanese anime, where we get either Japanese names (in the case of Heero Yuy) or names that make no sense (Fllay and Ssigh, for example).
decided to blow up his gundam I was like "YES THE *** IS DEAD!!!", when I found out he was still alive....weak story, plot twist that no one above the age of 14 would found remarkable.
...the fact that Heero was in a coma for a month and still had major injuries he had yet to recover from several weeks after he'd re-awakened was 'weak' and 'an obvious plot twist'?
Well, God forbid you ever watch another Gundam show, considering the entire franchise is aimed at a young age market. Hence the teenaged main characters piloting gigantic weapons of war, hence the enemy often being adults, hence the entire franchise recycling concepts that work well with the young.
I mean seriously giant space battle with AI robots?
Considering that a vast percentage of America's military forces use unmanned drones and robots - something that Wing itself made a point in it's themes. The Predator unmanned scout plane, for example, is completely autonomous - much like the mobile dolls in Wing.
The theme argued was that war without mankind fighting and making the decisions was nothing more than a game, as shown by Romefeller's views on using their mobile dolls to stampede over the entire Earth.
But that'd require paying attention to the series.
meh, at least shit blow up which is all the series really has to offer.
Then, as I said before, God forbid you watch another Gundam series with similar themes, such as Gundam 00 or Gundam X.
I didn't watch G Gundam,
Then you're doing nothing but trolling.
Congrats.
mainly because it sounds over the top and ridiculous (shining finger...), but it is by no way a show even remotely watchable to a grown man, unless your expecting it to be god damn awful and you want to see something blow up and nothing else...
So, because you've never seen G-Gundam, it has to be unwatchable by a grown male?
Fantastic logic.
sure Gundam Wing is a show that is brainless fun that tries to have a brain but doesn't seem to know how to spell brain.
Except the themes are actually relevant to the modern day, more so than they were in 1995 when the series was made - unlike the Universal Century's theme of 'super magical Newtype HAX.'
But hey, you don't care. You just know that Wing is somehow bad because of vague memories of something similar.

What a drastic departure 00 is taking by making the entire main cast over 20 years old.
That would only leave Feltd as the only Teenage character left, even she is 19 years old. They could make her 20 if they wanted.

I wish there was this much dedication to the definition of emo and gay when the name Sasuke comes up. Didn't whats his name attempt to kill himself (and sadly didn't manage to do so). Their angst pisses me off, no grown man would be convinced that a bunch of 14 year olds are solo'ing military bases, let alone doing so while lacking a proper dick and a pair of balls.
Like I said, had you paid attention to Wing...
If there was something to pay attention to....
Other way around.

...anywho the plot is not memorable, I never cared for the "plot twist" that gundam wing throws around so much no one with a brain would actually still care.
And the fact that you don't remember names further adds to this. I'm assuming you mean Treize, who lost to Wufei in actual combat. Because he didn't lose on purpose, but because Wufei was far more skilled than him (just working with horrid melee weaponry compared to the saber of the Tallgeese II)
That was the best fight in the series if I remember, Wufei won because he got a new UBER gundam.....Treize has far more skilled then Wufei, I called BS on the entire ending on that one, if Treize is going to lose, fine, but why the fuck kill one of the few characters that have a pair?
Duo might be my own personal favorite character for Wing, but... the rest of the cast is also pretty believable in their own ways.

hmm yeah giant space battle with AI gundam woot woot, woot woot. Basically it went from fodder humans to fodder pieces of metal, at least there isn't a grown man in the cockpit getting owned by some 14 year old kid.
