(Anonymous) 2009-03-02 05:08 am (UTC)(link)For interest, identification, and harmony in colors. If everything in fiction were made to be as realistic as they can possibly be, there would've been no Gundam franchise in the first place and many other series would've never been created because of such tight restrictions. How many kids and young adults would care to watch a highly realistic Gundam series (if that's even possible)? Everyone in the same faction would wear the same uniforms and hairstyle due to regulations. Nobody would get the SPESHUL treatment to pilot a Gundam, so you're left with nothing but grunts, ships, and bases. Nobody would watch something like that, so it wouldn't be profitable to make the series.
The use of primary colors and white used on the main character's Gundam and pilot suit, and the use of secondary colors on the remaining three meisters are straight from high school art theory books. They just couldn't make Virtue/Seravee/Seraphim purple because it wouldn't stand out on a black background in space.

Personally, I like how he doesn't make excuses to defend his selfishness. All humans are selfish to varying degrees, it's only a matter of whether you realize and accept the fact and how much of it you reveal to others. Ali is practical to the extreme. He'd do anything for good money and ruin people's lives for emotional enjoyment while he's at it. Common folk would sabotage their colleague's work or badmouth them in order to prevent becoming the one laid off during hard times. They do it for money and ruin people's lives. Many would even shift the blame onto others and feign a good image while they're at it, some would even be in denial that they're selfish acts. We're all doing it for ourselves, just on a smaller scale than Ali. There's nothing charming about it. It's just not worth the energy to loathe over human nature constantly.
I am sick of the lack of development in his character though. He's been nothing but a troll since day one and still is (presumably). Ali to Gundam is like plot twists to CLAMP series.
