Re: Hathaway
I don't like the character and I don't think there's any plausible explanation for his existence in the series. The only reasonable explanation I can think of is a way for Tomino to tell parents not to neglect the upbringing of their children because they might do stupid stuff that'll screw up the way they think for rest of their lives, and if there's no intervention it'll likely get progressively worse. He doesn't even fit into the standard newtype mold, because newtypes are supposed to understand each other in a way humans can't. The character wasted his life because of misplaced infatuation towards Quess, while newtypes with his ability routinely talk to floating streams of consciousness like Amuro and Lalah, or comatose Kamille communicating with Judau.
...Wow this is turning into Gundam-meta
I wonder if it really matter in the future series since Spacenoid independence is just an assumed outcome of the opening of Laplace' Box. Char is also permanently MIA during the timeline of Gundam Unicorn, so "Zeon" might lack the leadership and military strength even if they are morally in the right this time.
