Why can't people separate fact from fiction with what happened with Gundam Seed Destiny's production?

Can you provide examples?

I mean it was obvious. Production was so bad that they had to reuse shots from the openings. They literally had almost nothing. Makes me question if they blew out most of their money on their seiyyus and opening songs.

It's possible to make a show with big budget songs and VAs and still have the show be good. For instance, Macross Frontier.

For a big name franchise like Gundam that has access to Bandai's bottomless wallet, producing a dud like Destiny is nothing short of a colossal failure. It was pure mismanagement, plain and simple.

Bandai has lots of money, that does not mean they're willing to spend it

Accusing the director and writer of self-inserting as Jesus and Lacus, saying that Cagalli and Shinn were schtupping the director, that Neo wasn't planned to be Mu from the start, that the show is cloned from Zeta, that Dearka and Miriallia got separated out of spite, that Cagalli was a badass in the original show who got derailed in Destiny...

If there's a place to spend it, it sure as hell is on your flagship product that has worldwide name recognition.

If Gundam of all shows is having production problems despite the amount of money being sunk into it, then perhaps the problem lies with how said money is being spent.

It pretty much is all but confirmed that Morosawa wrote Cagalli out of the show because she suspected or was jealous of Shindo. Shindo pretty much explicitly stated that she would never voice Cagalli ever again because of how she (the VA, not the character) was treated during Destiny.

Found another example. I looked on reddit and heard that they killed off heine cause it was a simple cameo for the singer in destiny instead of plot relevance. Either that or it was expensive to to pay for the singer to voice act and sing for your show.

Confirmed by who?

Which probably explains a lot sine the blame on kira for heines death makes no sense. Dude literally died cause he was deaf.

Nvm just checked on another thread. Apparently, the singer couldn't do it because he was super busy.

The most trustworthy of sources.
>they killed off heine cause it was a simple cameo for the singer in destiny instead of plot relevance.
A toddler could figure out that Heine's whole purpose was to die so TM Revolution, the whole reason his character exists, wouldn't have to be paid for doing him too long.

Because it was such a cluster fuck even the most absurd bullshit sounds plausible.

>that the show is cloned from Zeta
I mean, yes? The show was the Zeta to Seed's 0079. CE is basically UC for a new generation and there are obvious parallels. Doesn't mean its 1:1 but they are there.

Dude I know I just stated that slip up.

Because western fans and anti-fans either deliberately make shit up or just choose to believe nonsense because it confirms their biases. This shit is nowhere near as prevalent in the Japanese fanbase - they criticize Fukuda for a lot, but it’s all factual.

Destiny wasn’t even a dud, it was a success just not an earth-shattering event like SEED.
