The fact that he just happened to get into the gundam at all is Gary stu. and that there was no one on board white base that couldn’t use it over amuro. I’m not saying amuro doesnt train or doesnt gain experience through his battles. But my impression that char has exponentially more time clocked operating a MS than amuro does and you can’t speed run that.
I may be wrong but my impression of the original cartoon series is that it takes place over a relatively short amount of time. he shouldn’t be power leveling so fast. I’m mainly talking about the original cartoon because everything else is just an expansion which builds on top of that.

during the events of the original cartoon it gives the impression that char is mainly just someone who is really skilled at operating MS from his time using them. I might be wrong but I don’t remember the show giving me the impression (in the original series) that his newtype abilities were giving him a sixth sense constantly to just know what to do. the later series I don’t really care much about because things get exponentially fuckier after the end of the first series.
Personally I have always felt gundam would have been more interesting without the newtype stuff but that’s my opinion and I know people have wildly varying opinions on that talking point.
Char never struck me as the type of guy that if he was in amuro position and stumbled into the gundam without training that he would have done well.
I don’t like dragonball z specifically because of the idea of certain characters having a predefined potential and some characters just inherently being born with 20 times the skill ceiling as other characters it just seems like lazy writing.
Also dragonball z constantly introducing yet another “ultimate form”
