Omg, LoGH discussion? Be still my heart.
This, haha. But Jesus Minci aside, the Imperials have more personality, and more backstory time. I mean, do we know anything about Poplan other than that he likes to womanize? How about Cazellnu, whose whole schtick is "I'm married, and like to pretend I'm in charge in my marriage?" Or Attenborough, who is supposedly almost as talented as Yang, but ends up relegated to comic relief? None of them get the kind of screen time that Reuental, Mittermeyer, Kircheis, etc get. Even Oberstein, whose overall screen time is very little, manages to cultivate more interest in that short time than the Alliance guys.
Schenkopp is an exception. He is awesome in every scene, without fail.
