SEED failed because Kira's an AIMbot and Mary Sue, along with Lacus. Furthermore, Athrun's a traitor 5 times over, Shinn got his own series stolen from him, TMR's characters all die off in the same episode they're introduced, Fukuda's a dumbass, and Mwu's death was ruined.
Really, you think PoR gets a bad rep? SEED is considered the worst timeline in Gundam history, and Destiny one of the worst anime in history. It deserves that rep, too.
