Guess I misread it as him meaning that the thing they have in common is the lack of character death. Either way Gundam Wing isn't really a shining example for the franchise in any way other than good marketing overseas.

To this day it is the only Gundam series to ever make it into german free TV. And interestingly enough one of only three mecha-genre series along with Vision of Escaflowne and Saber Rider (if you can still count the American i.e butchered version of Sei Jūshi Bisumaruku an anime to begin with...).
