meganbmooreAnnouncing now that this isnot half as good as it originally was because it is being done with the annoyance of having to redo it insist of having just watched it.
A year has passed. The pilots decide they should very slowly jettison the gundams into a sun. Since this is the beginning of the movie and they'll need them later, this process will take weeks. Wu Fei isn't jettisoning Nataku because he can't bear to be separated from his true love. Duo and Quatre are doing the jettisoning of the rest.. Trowa has rejoined the circus, but has beefed up and taken to wearing sleeveless shirts to show it off. Heero and Zechs are MIA. I'm fairly certain Heero is sleeping on Duo and Hilde's couch while hiding from Relena. Relena is an ambassador. Une, Noin and Sally are being a super awesome trio of peacekeepers. I think they have a lot of underlings. Earth does not appear to have a hole in it.
While prattling with a bunch of other ambassadors, Relena keels over. I briefly hope it's fatal poison, but nope, just drugged. Relena has been kidnapped by Trieze's pint sized duaghter, who Ithink is about 10. MiniTreize(didn't bother learning her name) prattles on about taking over the universe in her father's name. Relena ignores the fact that she could overpower MiniTreize with one hand and listens to her prattle on for the rest of the movie, waiting for Heero to come and rescue her. MiniTreize's men declare her the ruler of the universe. Duo and I both find this easier to digest than Relena as Queen of Earth. Heero announces that Relena has been kidnapped. Duo sighs, follows, and hopes Hilde doesn't wise up and find a new boyfriend with sane friends while he's gone. Trowa goes off to investigate and learns that Wu Fei has gone psychotic and joined the bad guys. Trowa sighs and, since he's good at it, goes undercover and joins.
Quatre runs off to get the gundams back in a suicide run. When his squadron of big strapping underlings say they'll undertake the physically strenuous near-suicide mission, Quatre tells them that his teeny slight frame is more suited. Besides, It's been too long since he attempted suicide. I think he just didn't want anyone to be around when he was reunited with Sandrock. Heero and Duo meet up with and fight Trowa and Wu Fei. Duo forgets that Trowa is Undercover Guy and yells at him. Trowa doesn't waist his breath and just saves their butts so they can regroup. Wu Fei and Heero loudly angst at each other. Since Wu Fei still has migraine inducing hair and Heero has taken to wearing comfortable jeans, Wu Fei wins. Heero yells at him to self destruct a lot. Wu Fei reminds him that just because he out crazies everyone else combined right now, it doesn't mean he's giving up his title of being the only one to not attempt suicide. Heero dumps him and regroups with Duo and Trowa. Heero tricks Duo into staying behind as a supposed captive so he can take off and be the lone wolf hero. Trowa, quite mellowed after a year of Catherin'es influence, politely doesn't say anything about this bit of bastardry.
Quatre makes it back with the gundams and Trowa and Duo dump the bad guys.
In a supremely awesome sequence, we think Heero is rushing off to rescue Relena, BUT NO! WITH HIS PSYCHIC POWERS, QUATRE KNEW WHERE TO SEND WING ZERO!!! THEY REUNITE DRAMATICALL MID SPACE!!! WING ZERO HAS GIANT NETAL ANGEL WINGS!! AT THE CLIMAX OF THE SCENE, WING ZERO FLAPS IT'S WINGS AND FILLS SPACE WITH GIANT BLUE GUNDAMIUM SPARKLES!!!
I possibly rewatched it a few times.
There are also lots of flashbacks. I will address two. When a strapping young terrorist on Earth, Heero met a little girl with a puppy. Later, Heero blows up a military complex next to an apartment building. He goes poking around the rubble and finds the puppy's corpse, which he then picks up and tenderly carries. Heero flashes back to both dead and living puppies a lot in the movie. We also learn that, at one point, Wu Fei's entire colony wanted to commit suicide by crashing into Earth. This is clearly why Wu Fei never attempted suicide...he knew that he could never live up to it. I just wanted to reiterate that the entire colony wanted to commit suicide by crashing into Earth. Please do be recalling that in the series, the entire colony succeeds by blowing itself up. Heero is very jealous of Wu Fei's colony.
Meanwhile, Zechs has asked Une for a job with the Peacekeepers. Une forgets the part where he wanted to destroy the planet(and possibly blew a hole in it that either healed or TPTB forgot it happened) and gives him a job. He meets up with Noin in space. They angst a lot and basically declare their love and prepare to die a dramatic death together when Sally, Trowa, Duo and Quatre come and save them.
Une makes up for the hiring Zechs moment by sucessfully breaking into MiniTreize's compound.
Heero makes it back to Earth and is about to fire on MiniTreize's cimpound. They yell "WAIT! DON'T YOU KNOW WE HAVE RELENA DARLIAN HOSTAGE?" Heero paused a moment to wonder if it was a threat or an incentive to shoot. Relena wills him to shoot as proof of his love. He shoots.
Everyone survives. Heero crashes and I think falls out and lands on his head. I don't know. He's fallen on his head so much that I don't notice it anymore.
Somewhere in here, Wu Fei has switched sides because he has to be a good guy for the end, and Dorothy has showed up with a giant shiny yellow van to recruit men to fight MiniTreize.
Une shows up and lectures MiniTreize. Just as Une is about to DELIVER A SLAP OF SUPREME AWESOMENESS TO THE BRAT, Relena jumps in and slaps MiniTreize and lectures her. I will Une to grab Relena by the hair and throw her out of the way. Of of MiniTreize's men(I think her grandfather) shoots MiniTreize in the back. Une and Relena angst over her/ Heero shows up and says he'll put her out of her misery. He's out of bullets. Heero announces that he has killed MiniTreize(note: there were no bullets) and will never kill again.
Heero passes out and lurches forward, hoping to lan on Relen and use her chest as a cushion. Relena understands his goal and rushes forward to catch him. I want to say that there is a similar scene in Samurai Deeper Kyo WHICH FILLS ME WITH UNHOLY LEVELS OF SHIPPY GLEE, but this one made me giggle and groan.
Theworld is at peace again. Everyone blows up their gundams.
Trowa goes back to the circus. Duo rushes back to the colonies to make sure Hilde hasn't dumped him for a boyfriend who doesn't regularly run off to save the universe. He gets a ticket onthe way and then almost dies from choking on a bun in relief that he hasn't been kicked out. Sally notes what happened when she left Wu Fei unsupervised for a year and puts him on a leash. Une adopted the paralyzed MiniTreize or something. Zechs and Noin are off in space playing chess. Quite frankly, I don't know why they aren't just having sex already. Universe is saved, no more bad guys, he's sane again, no more gundams. Besides which, half their problem is too much repressed sexual tension. Actually, that's Noin's ONLY problem. Heero ditches Relena and heads back to the colonies. I maintainthat he's sleeping on Duo and hilde's couch.
The end.

The end.
And so, for better or for worse, end my Gundam Wing posts. Well, of this variety, at least.
Anyone remember that "Princess Tutu can be successfully crossed over with anything" thing? Was Princess Tutu/Gundam Wing ever done? It would either be the most awesome thing ever, or the most scarring.
