I watched the 0079 recap movies and it felt like Lalah got like 10 minutes of screen time, if that, and when I checked the Wiki she was only in three episodes.
Is her and Char/Amuro's relationship fleshed out in any other series or is that it? It feels very lackluster as I always thought she was more of a major character given how important she is to Char and amuro

Read the novels. She only gets like 10 pages, but at least you'll understand it.

I feel like even with her limited screen time we get a good sense of her relationship with Char and how it affected him.

She only meets Amuro in person, what, 2 times? One of those is just helping him get his car out of the mud. I think that we are supposed to believe that they rapidly formed a deep connection because they are both newtypes but Amuro having feelings for her does come out of nowhere and feels really rushed.

I wouldn't trust the math too much, the flavor text mention hyperdrive, antimatter igniter, and droplet radiators have horrible drawback if it's even sized right. It look like what you get when you desperately try to get the agile-fighter trope with real physic.
The high acceleration explain the very low deltaV, but if it can't shift gear to favor deltaV instead of acceleration, IMO it wouldn't go far enough to matter.

Still, as a long-range (say Earth-Moon) mobile anti-missiles platform, it's not a bad motivation for a fighter.
You reduce considerably the size of the anti-missiles missiles, and you could attack missiles before they are in their best phase to overwhelm a warship. Forcing them to split early or lose a lot of their deltaV advantage.
Unmanned drones would do the job but this way the crew can take decision without lag.

Going through such defense could ask missiles to focus more on velocity so that even if they split early, the target still doesn't have enough time to evade/shoot down sub-munitions.
That or just launch more missiles, quantity is a quality on its own and such fighters would be more expensive to produce than missiles who can gain their initial speeds from reusable tugs, a job this craft could do.
Less "fighter carry the space-torpedo near the enemy battleship to play space-WWII"
More "small nuclear-tug accelerate a lot of cheap missiles, without actually getting close to the enemy ships or dodging anything." with a side-job that justify making it manned.

The jealousy and petty behavior arises from the narrative that mask trapped himself in. He wouldnt feel jealous about Bellri if he didnt think of himself as the man that must save the kuntala so that every setback feels like being denied his life goal and his reason for existing as mask. Every loss gets blown up through the lens of the narrative he set up for himself which sparks the inferiority complex, when in reality Bellri has nothing against mask personally.

I do think its weird that in the west capeshit with guys in queer costumes and gimmick super powers and plotlines that devolve into fanfiction tier stuff got accepted in pop culture through movies but mecha is too silly and absurd to be.

My theory is that most people enjoy the power fantasy of shooting beams out of their hands more than piloting something that shoots beams because they view the mecha as an unnecessary extra step that makes the fantasy less visceral and self-indulgent. A mecha also doesnt "belong" to you in the way a superpower does because as a machine it has to exist in the context of technology and military, and it feels moreso as if it could be "taken away" from you. Ironically its these things that actually make the fantasy more feasible and believable to others.

Char's Deleted Affair is just unmitigated char wank by a hack writer. Char is Kitazume's special boy who never did anything wrong ever, is the most smartiest person on axis, and has the most specialest girl on axis throw herself at him because he's so cool and srtong.

Really, you should have know it was dogshit when it opens with Char killing 12 GMs in two minutes by himself. Literally opens with the author having a tantrum about the 12 Rick Doms scene. It's just a fanboy indulging themselves and the fact that someone wasted paper on this AO3 tier fanwank is a crime.

Barring ZZ-era "pile of guns" MS, I'd argue CE is actually the AU with the most amount of guns not on the hands/arms. You've got shit like beam saber knees, backpacks in every flavor designedto fit grunts, beast wars-tier transforming MS with odd weapon placements, etc. It's rarer to find a MS WITHOUT hands-free weapons actually, aside from the basuc bitch grunts. And Destiny itself lol
>>
>>23709179
>You've got shit like beam saber knees
Only on the Justices, not most Suits.
>backpacks in every flavor designedto fit grunts
Mobility Packs don't have guns, and Packs based on the Launcher and Sword ones are also useless without arms. Only Doppelhorn and a few multi-purpose Packs which aren't mass-produced do give hands-free weapons.

Anyways, this argument is fucking retarded. If any MS reaches the point where it has lost both of its arms, it's probably completely fucked unless the pilot has god-tier skills and a bunch of plot armor on his side. Under the vast majority of circumstances, most MS and pilots won't even be able to touch the Destiny, let alone destroy both of its arms. The only combat situation where this happens is when Shinn goes against the 2 best pilots in all of CE who both had some of the very few Suits that are even better than the Destiny.

A Doppelhorn Windam is not going to beat a fucking Destiny just because it does have hands-free weapons.

lolno try telling that to remote weapon capable suits like the Qubeley,Nu,Lupus Rex,Gundam MkV or 00 Quant. Theres even suits like the base Freedom and V2 that are still pretty dangerous even without their arms. Sure there are a lot of MS out there in reality that are donezo if they lose their arms and Destiny is a fairly powerful suit but it sure has a weakness arms go you go.
>>
>>23709231
Arms don't necessarily have to be destroyed. They could jsut have their hands busy carrying a school bus full of orphans or something like that. And if an armless doppelhorn windam fights and armless destiny, the windam wins
>>
>>23709361
>try telling that to remote weapon capable suits like the Qubeley,Nu,Lupus Rex,Gundam MkV or 00 Quant
All of those are more likely to get all their remote weaponry destroyed before both their arms are, and like the Destiny, it's pretty fucking hard for them to reach that point under normal circumstances because their performance is that high.
>>23709558
>They could jsut have their hands busy carrying a school bus full of orphans or something like that
The Destiny was made to genocide Naturals (and Extendeds) in hit-and-runs, not to save kids.
>And if an armless doppelhorn windam fights and armless destiny, the windam wins
No, because the Destiny has far better mobility and will kick it or CIWS it to death before the Doppelhorn can touch it.
