Fair enough, they are servicable at best. I appreciate that they have a little more going on than just being yet another Zeon or Zeon look-alike, and I really like the Zanscare MS designs, but they aren't developed enough.
In Victory's defence though, almost no Gundam show has particularly good villains. I particularly hate the Char clone archetype where they are just worthless annoying jobbers with a forced rivalry. Gundam almost never actually portrays the Char-like character as a threat, even in the original show. There's a lot of talk about how great of a pilot Char is but he consistently loses to a fourteen year old piloting a totally new robot for the first time. Chronicle is mostly inoffensive, is gone for half the plot, and has a funny death scene so he's better than some of the most irritating Char clones who stick around like a bad smell. Katejina is a kind of interesting character too.

katejina's fine from the perspective of a spoiled rich girl that ended up jammed in the middle of a conflict
>previously had uso affirming her and making her feel special
>then when shit starts hitting the fan it becomes clear she isn't his one and only priority (because shahkti and his other friends are), which irks her
>so she runs off with the first potential simp who comes crashing into her (cronicle) and makes sure to ingratiate herself upon him until he becomes dependent on her and becomes her replacement uso, while also corrupting him and driving the potential for good in him all the way down into the depths
>tries to act like she's gonna be a spy for a bit, but the prospect quickly becomes boring before she even gets into space
>zanscare makes her feel powerful and they say shit she agrees with, so they must be the good guys
>uso didn't drop everything to come and serve her, and even dares to DEFY her, so now he's the enemy
add on the fact she starts off the story making it clear from the very beginning that she's some manner of sociopath by saying the people of her own hometown deserved what they got, and she's perfectly understandable as a character
she's a woman obsessed with having power over others, and so her final fate of being blinded is the greatest irony, as she is now powerless and forced to rely on others
i like her
