Ok, try and follow me on this one. Every now and then I revisit Suits on Netflix
or Prime. I’m not a big law drama guy
but the writing and acting (and soundtrack) are all damn near perfect and I
love coming back to it here and there.
Currently, I’m walking a friend through the show and we’re in an arc
where the subjects of Coups and Betrayals are prevalent…which lead to us
talking about Gundam Wing and which character from Suits would be this
character from Gundam Wing and the light bulb went off in my head for todays
Top 5 Wednesday. Who from high risk,
high reward, risk taking Lawyers and Fixers from Suits best exemplifies the
qualities and coolness of the bad asses in mecha from Gundam Wing? That is the question I’m gonna attempt to
answer today as I choose the Top 5 Characters from Suits perfect for Characters
from Gundam Wing.
#5-Louis Litt as General Septum Poor early seasons Suits Louis constantly finds himself
siding with the wrong people in the worst of situations.
Such choices come with costs that ultimately
do lead to him becoming a better man.
Funny enough I can see Louis delivering all of Septums English Dub
dialogue with the same kind of presence and camp, which would lead to his most
iconic moment in all of Gundam Wing, the one we all know from the promos, aka
his hilariously over the top demise at the hands of our next pick.
#4-Jessica Pearson as Lady Une
The Queen of Peason Hardman, Jessica will do almost
whatever it takes to maintain her power in the firm and can be pretty cold and
cutthroat in the process.
While she
doesn’t have a Treize to work under, that doesn’t make Jessica any less of a
Lady Une type from her cold, calculating demenour to making any outfit she wear
look absolutely stunning.
Also since the
Louis/Septum idea came to mind, yes Jessica Une shooting Louis Septum after
throwing him off the roof feels like a fantasy she’s had many times.
#3-Katrina Bennet as Dorothy Catalonia
This choice admittedly boils down to the drop dead
gorgeous looks of actress Amanda Schull and her line deliveries as
Katrina.
Smoldering eyes, flawless hair
and fashion and a voice that could make you do anything for a chance at a date
with her, the only thing Katrina lacks to make her a full on Dorothy equivalent
is the eyebrows.
Still, Katrina is known
to stir up trouble for advancing her own career and agenda, especially against
her goody goodie rivals Mike and Rachel.
#2-Mike Ross as Quatre Reberba Winner
Like Quatre, Mike is the kind of guy who wouldn’t hurt a
fly and would rather see things resolved peacefully than anything else.
Then he gets a job with Harvey and it’s the
equivalent of putting him into and teaching him to pilot a Gundam: it’s rough,
it’s intense and gonna get bloody in a manner of speaking.
Mike wrestles with his potential as a lawyer
against wanting to be a better person much like Quatre forcing himself to put
aside his pacifistic nature to help protect the world with his Gundam Sandrock.
#1-Harvey Specter as Zechs Merquise
Most Char Clones are the coolest, baddest, most
undeniable suave characters of any Gundam series.
At one point I thought of making Harvey
Treize Kushrenada but Harvey would rather be sporting the mask and piloting the
Tallgeese, flying by the seat of his pants and cashing checks his ego can only
partly cash.
Like other Char Clones,
Harvey is also his own worst enemy with his ego and ambitions landing him in
situations even his impressive law skills cant handle alone.
Still, Zechs is one of the coolest characters
in all of Gundam and Harvey is hands down the coolest character in Suits (side
note: even though there’s some flirting, there’s no romantic interest between
Harvey and Jessica so it would make it weird for them to be Treize and Une).
