Talk:Nia Teppelin

Completely Unnecessary
Nia's death was nothing more than a huge middle finger right in the audience's face. This my reasoning:
 * I don't mind bittersweet or even tragic endings.  In fact, a lot of my favorite anime titles ended on a note like that (Fatal Fury:The Motion Picture, Ninja Scroll, Basilisk).  The difference between them and Gurren Lagann is that their bittersweet ending served a purpose.  It either motivated the characters or it brought closure to certain plot elements.  Nia's death did not serve a purpose and was done just for the sake of cheap drama. If it was written as a heroic sacrifice where her death allowed Simon to defeat the Anti-Spiral, then I would be more forgiving and I might even like it.
 * It was completely unnecessary.  Granted, I agree with the point that bringing back the dead is in the long term not a good idea.  But there is a big difference between playing god and treating a medical condition.  And even if using Spiral Energy to allow Nia to live a normal human life does for some reason offset the balance of the universe, people seem to forget that Nia was technically half human/half anti-spiral.  So even if her anti-spiral half faded away due to lack of Ontological Inertia, her human half should still have remained.Jmf6401 (talk) 01:58, April 16, 2020 (UTC)

Similarities
Has anyone else noticed how similiar she is to Lacus Clyne from Gundam SEED. She doesn't fight. She is not "Human". She is the main characters real love interest. She doesn't understand the human world properly. I don't know if its just me noticing these things but they really do seem similar.


 * There aren't THAT many similarities between them: Lacus is a human, because coordinators are just humans with genetic modifications. And while it is true that Lacus didn't fight, she was the captain of a warship in the last portion of SEED. She was also an optimist, as opposed to not understanding the world because she hadn't been exposed to it, like Nia. They do share core personality traits though, being generally innocent and loving people who become the hero's love interest. 184.100.10.222 09:48, June 21, 2011 (UTC)Alex D.

Nia and Simon become stars like in Stardust
my hope is that when Simon's time is done, he'll be asked by the God(s) of Spiral to become a star (North Star to be exact) and Nia's spirit agrees to become a star with him, with their Asuncion taking place at her grave surrounded by their friends, alive and dead, with the whole universe watching. After it takes place, Nia's grave is remodeled to be her and simon, only it tells of their lives including their ascension. Well?? Justin Holland (talk) 19:04, July 17, 2015 (UTC)

Trivia
Hi! Sorry for bothering, just thought of dropping in to say that a, became available to the avatar from the game Wizardess Heart, in the event Snow Flakes. Despite being extremely similar, there was no statement from the company sites, nor in-game, if the inspiration was on purpose. Since I'm new to this wiki, I wasn't sure whether to add this trivia in Nia's page or not, so I'm just leaving the information here instead. Thank you for reading it.
