** There is something wrong with you. No one here is denying ''him'' anything.

There is a ''very big difference'' between [[BadassBoast "Who the hell do you think I am?"]] and [[AGodAmI "I will become the god of the new world."]] That you think for some reason that that level of ''assholery'' is acceptable proves nothing about the characters. All it shows is that you weren't paying attention.

not Fridge Logic about the plot of the work


[[folder:Michael Bay]]

* Why doesn't Michael Bay know about this yet?
** Because he melted a supercomputer trying to render ''[[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Devastator]]''. Trying to get Gurren Lagann scale and Dai-Gurren scale stuff is simply beyond current tech levels (anything beyond that, and you get scenes almost entirely CGI, which is easier than a CGI-live mix). Wait for computers to improve before expecting anything out of him.
** Also, because I don't think we're ready for Gunmen that speak jive, urinate, hump, or have enemy scrotum to be beneath.
** Whilst I agree some of the dumber aspects of Bay are best left away from this series, and feels at this point it's safe to assume live action anime adaptations can't get any better than Dragonball Evolution, the tech is definitely there. If you doubt it, catch Sucker Punch and notice how almost identical to Lagann their mech is.
** Because it would probably require mechs the size of ''the goddamn moon'' to fully capture such manly awesomeness for the finale.

Added DiffLines:

*** What the Hell is a "justified" death? There is no such thing. Death from old age and death from bleeding out in an alley have the same result: a cold corpse and mournful loved ones. Dead is dead, assuming that you'll find some idealized death scenario for yourself or a loved one is idiotic. Nia's death was sad and unfair, but so were those of all the friends they lost in their battles, yet I don't see people raging that Simon isn't furiously trying to bring them all back. Unlike so many here, Simon realizes that the power he wields isn't so great that he can expect to fix everything in his life with it. Instead of wallowing in what he lost or raging like a child that he should be all-powerful, he wants to move forward even with the sadness because he believes that there is always a future beyond it.

** Also, I think that yes, he does have more Spiral Energy than Simon, in that moment. Character with high Spiral Energy usage will have the Spiral eyes, being Lord Genome and Simon (Who only has 1 Spiral eye at the end of the series) so Kittan at that time momentary have the highest level of Spiral of anyone in the series.

Hot Scientist is no longer a trope


** Actually this is explained in the series when the Space King Kittan goes out into the super high density [[InSpace space ocean.]] [[HotScientist That doctor woman]], whose name escapes me, says to, I'm pretty sure, Dayakka after he wonders how the ganmen are functioning in the ocean despite spiral energy being absorbed, "It ran with electricty when it was on the ground." [[RuleOfCool Also, the Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann was able to still run on]] [[AppliedPhlebotinum spiral energy]] [[RuleOfCool because Simon just produces that much.]]

** Besides that, why do people think it would be a simple thing to transform Nia? She is inherently tied to the Anti-Spirals. Her whole existence depended on them. It took a massive amount of willpower for her to keep existing for a week after they were destroyed. Spiral Energy is a lot of things, but it isn't magic. You can't just undo everything bad by focusing on it hard enough. Yeah, it was a gut punch for Nia to die herself, but it happened and she chose to spend her remaining time with the man she loved rather than look for some desperate solution that probably doesn't exist. Worse, if she was kept alive, it could risk reviving the Anti-Spirals as well. Either way,
