>>19023540>The "storyboards" explanation does not detract from the fact that this is what Kira did.>>19023545>I can't say it applies to every single time nukes are fired, but I distinctly remember Kira rushing as fast as he could to get in place to shoot down the missiles.Only the first time IIRC.
>hat makes it completely reasonable to assume he wasn't close enough to shoot at the ma or ms that were firing, Again, only the first time as they swooped in at the last second as Yzak was sperging out. Doesn't hold for the other times.
>He is still fighting for a cause that he believes is worth fighting for, a cause worth more than his opposition to fighting and killing.A cause that is never as seriously fleshed out or emphasized as much as his more distinct, "shoot to disable, not to kill" philosophy.
>Giving Kira more weapons doesn't mean Lacus is controlling him. The Meteors don't refuse to shoot at non Lacus approved targets.His ability to use it is dependent on Lacus choosing to give it to him.
>Yeah, because Kira peeled off in order to fight Rau. Yes, and he tunnel visioned on Rau even after Rau gloated "Once Jachin self destructs, GENESIS will fire" rather than ditching Rau and going to stop GENESIS.
>>19023564>...Maybe, just maybe, you realize that ALL of the EA ships that are deployed are AF/Blue Cosmos?The moderates still existed, its just they were spineless and couldn't stand up to Azrael. That's why I'm skeptical of the idea that all crewmembers aboard every ship were Blue Cosmos. From the perspective of "take out the extremists" targeting and killing MS pilots carrying nukes makes more sense than targeting shits. There's a high likelyhood that the pilot's mindset will be high on the thought of committing genocide.
>If you're going to blame anyone, just blame the insane lengths this godforsaken writer goes for when portraying this Pinkshit Princess as Benevolent.No disagreement there.
