Does Gundam Wing ever get good?
I'm 12 eps in, and all that's happened is the main character trying to kill himself half a dozen times.

No. Its a bad show with cool mech design.
The OVAs have cool animation and generally better battles, so it might be worth it to finish it just for that.
Turn your brain off while watching or drop the show. In the end, you'll feel the same.

By the 5th episode, the "villain" faction was co pletely defeated by a coup that the Gundams were manipulated into assisting. I wouldn't call that nothing.

No. Believe me, if you're this far in and getting tired of stupid bullshit it will only get more stupid. I watched the whole thing and generally found myself getting more and more annoyed with time. The mecha designs are great, the music's nice, but everything else is mediocre at best.

No, for the same reason you don't really want security like that on a firearm or indeed a lot of real military hardware. You are supposed to have, say, a secure location and secutiry detail which will protect vehicles which can quickly and easily be started up, because you want to have them usable immediately in an emergency. If someone breaks into your house and you have a special ring or thumbprint scanner which just so happens to not work at the wrong moment you might well die for no reason. If your troops happen to need their trucks or tanks or what have you ASAP and have to do a secret handshake to actually get their machines going that could get them killed. If someone manages to get ahold of your gun, steal your ride from out of your base, etc. then things have gone catastrophically wrong and were likely set up wrong to begin with.

This is about response time but reliability is also a major issue here. A security step like you mention is an extra point of failure on something you probably REALLY don't want to fail at exactly the wrong time. It might bring you comfort to, say, have a gun that fires for you and you alone, or a truck which can be driven only by those with authority, but that system failing is an impediment to its use which both adds on expense and can't be afforded at the wrong time.

I'm assuming it had something like that originally until zechs rebuilt it but when Noin air drops it onto the battlefield she says you're gundam pilots so I'm sure you know how to use it.

I personally think it finally pulls up it's pants and tries to actually commit to a direction around the time White Fang shows up, but apparently a lot of people who are more passionate about the show that I am don't agree with this.

Wing is amusing just because of how dramatic everything is. It reminds me of Code Geass, but without the zaniness that made Geass fun to watch.

I've always looked at it this way: Relena's the daughter of a big shot politician who's got loads of power and influence. The people who she's been around her entire life are probably all nothing but bootlickers, yes-men, and rich snobs all trying to curry favor from her father. Its entirely possible that Heero might be the first person she's ever met who isn't like that and she can't help but be intrigued by the fuckin weirdo. I don't know if I'd agree with the "she falls in love with him immediately" take, but definitely some level of obsession to start that develops more later after she meets Doctor J and realizes that Heero has a good heart buried under all the trauma and autism.

If you dont already like it by that point then you never will, like me. Wing is pure action and drama, the underlying plot and themes are set dressing to create an atmosphere of profundity around the fights thats not really genuine.

I'm on the same boat desu. I don't know what is it about Wing that isn't appealing me which is strange considering that I was itching to go back to a more "traditional" Gundam show after watching G Gundam.
But, I did enjoy episode 13 quite a lot so maybe all is not lost.

>Wouldn't you want some.. literally any kind of security on your mech's gun to prevent it from being picked up and used by the enemy?

No. For the same reason you don't want to have extra security from preventing YOU from using it. This is seriously one of those things people like to nit pick at to sound clever, like not having security locks on your vehicles, but then turns out that's actually how shit works in real life because you need them to start three seconds ago and can't be assed to fuck with a password when someone's shooting at you. So you're really just a moron.
