Fool010:
Someone who jumps headfirst into action without any plan, counting on luck and dying in the process isn't brave ... he's just stupid.
He "saved" them from a menace he subjected them to.
Being fearless doesn't equate to bravery, that's just being oblivious. Real brave people still feel fear, but are able to surpass it. Kamina wasn't even able to perceive danger. The fearless ones die because that's all they can do, the brave ones die once they've used up all other options.
He took the easy way out and died along the way, leaving most of the work to the others. Oh, and he wasn't a "man", he was a kid with dreams of grandeur and heroic deeds. And he died the day reality came knocking at his door.
Seriously, "he was brave he knew all along he would die early because exactly of his bravery" ... the perspective he could die didn't even cross his mind.

PS : I just realized you actually didn't read my whole post. You basicaly react to the first and last sentence, are you aware I elaborated my thoughts in between ?

deathman:
First of all i read your post...despite the fact that you have serious gaps in knowledge regarding Kamina's death i will say once again he did not count in luck he counted in his powers he believed in himself is it that difficult for you to understand ???Also do you seriously believe that he left the hard work to others?????WTF no man wants to die...He achieved so much...He sacrificed himself in order to snap up Simon...Simon was the fucking reason Kamina died now i leave ideological bullshit to you....

Fool010:
I'd appreciate a answer that makes sense, not some kiddie pouting. I have no "gaps in knowledge", I just watched the series with a bit more critical mind instead of going ooh and wee about how "manly" acting like a thoughtless primate is.
It all would've made sense if TTGL had been a parody, but unfortunately Gainax didn't go all the way in that direction, which spoiled a lot of the fun the series could've been. There's only a small gap between larger than life and caricature, and I consider TTGL as a whole and Kamina in particular to be on the wrong side of the line.

"Counting on his power", "Sacrificed himself" ?

Dude, I'm no longer 14. It takes much more to impress me. Which is probably the main reason for my distaste, I'm already a couple of years past being the target audience. I saw the series as an attempt at over the top entertainement, but certainly not as a lesson about life.

I am no 14 either...but hell again you cant deny that he was interesting ..back when i watched TTGL i was indeed 14 if i recall....3 years have passed i think since then....Well i hope you find what impresses you ..because if one of Gainax's masterpieces did not impress you...well go watch pokemon

AceD:
