I suppose I wasn't really clear in my first post so let me rephrase that. When people say that Wing borrows elements from other Gundam shows, it's typically said as proof that Wing is a cheap, childish, UC knock-off. But I'm not saying you guys said that. I just wanted to make a point about something that crops up time and time again when people discuss Wing.Chris wrote:I thought I'd made it clear in the episode, but let me delve into it some more. No one is making comparisons between Wing and 0079, because Wing borrows elements from multiple UC series.
It's always dangerous when you juxstapose two shows, even when they are part of the same franchise. You can say show x and show y both share this common element, theme or symbol. But a line is crossed when someone says show x is the same thing as or is a total ripoff of show y, as people have done with Wing and 00.
