Female pilots in Gundam doesn't look significant due to UC era female pilots pretty much, "Unless you're Haman, death flag is inevitable".
Compare to that, current female pilots got much better treatment in how they allowed to display more prowess before conflict narrowed to protagonist vs. antagonist albeit I can understand if there's disagreement to case like Murrue (captain of ship, not pilot), Selene (Stargazer is not a combat unit) or Lady (not enough screentime) and Shia (a healer, not buff provider like Fumina).
Making it for all age is not a problem although part of me wished this series became the second Bernie vs. Alex but from Alex POV.
