That was the MS where the AI did most of the piloting, right?

Because the actual meatbag pilot was the worst Gundam pilot ever or something? Like that's his schtick?

Pretty much.

So...

Amuro Ray: I'm the granddaddy of all Gundam protagonists! Also don't hit my face. Not even my dad has ever hit me.

Kamille Bidan: Kamille is a man's name!

Judau Ashta: This isn't anime.

Uso Ewin: I like girls but they are always mean to me.

Domon Kasshu: THIS HAND OF MINE GLOWS WITH AN AWESOME POWE—(ry

Heero Yui: *Tears up invitation*

Kira Yamato: I am Jesus.

Shinn Asuka: MAYUUUUUUU!

Setsuna F. Seiei: I AM GUNDAM.

(...)

Ryou Roots: I am the worst Gundam pilot. That's why you should like me.

Also the MS with one of the best AI waifu in the Gundam series (after May for me, personally), because of the character development

Oi where's my boy Shiro Amada in this cross-analyzation?

Shiro Amada:
I am (like) an actual real person.
(None of these magic space wizards business or schoolyard psychological wangst or fancy blackbox prototypes)

Alternatively:

I TOOK DOWN A ZAKU WITH A BALL! AN EFFIN BALL!!

Mikazuki Augus: You'll get in our way again if I don't kill you.

I think at least part of the joke is because the damn Ex-S has a 95% chance of collapsing under its own weight if you put it in any pose other than the default.

Only built the HGUC one, but I'm pretty sure this observation is true for just about any version of the kit (except perhaps the SD).

Alternatively:

I mean, out of all UC protagonists, he's the one with the most shounen-like plot armor of them all. His Ball tanked a full barrage from the Zaku machine gun. He could fucking dodge the same ballistic projectile at close range, on foot then firing back at the Zaku like it's fucking Matrix. Hell, he's the only one who basically deserted while eloping with an enemy's CO in the middle of a war.

Even Amuro, who is a 15-year-old draftee acted more like a professional soldier after Jaburo and Odessa than Shiro who is an actual trained military man.

And there was how he just out right tanked Magella top cannon fire in the extra ova.
