I can't speak for others, but as I mentioned my only exposure to it was the game.

 

*shudder*

 

I did skim through the episode summaries on the official site, and there didn't seem to be much in the way of parody.  It seemed more like a silly, albeit straightforward story that was designed more or less to be accessible to people who hadn't had much exposure to Gundam.  In contrast, the summaries for Super Deformed Gundam over at MAHQ seem to be about shows that, while yes they are sometimes silly, also rely on spoofing characters in the shows or specific events.  So you've got the very first one opening with three Zakus attempting to infiltrate Side 7 followed by the punch line of the skit.  Or an MS pilots as students show that has (as I remember) Lalah Sun's ghost wandering around.

 

I'm sure that there's a lot of unnecessary silliness in Super Deformed Gundam, but it seems more closely tied to the various Gundam series that preceeded it than Superior Defender.  I'm sure that there were plenty of in-jokes in Superior Defender, but that doesn't necessarily constitute good parody.

In all honesty, SD Gundam Force isn't that far removed from the series that
came before it. The most American centric elements are the series being
referenced (and even then they snuck in some sly references to things like
Turn A) and the character of Bellwood. The characters, settings and overall
tone of the show are all consistent with previous SD Gundam works. The show
itself even got fairly darker in the second half, with plots covering
romantic betrayal and patricide.

It just shows that most of the people criticising SDGF don't know their
facts and are giving a knee jerk reaction because they want Gundam to be
seen as 'mature' and edgy. The series definetly had it's faults, but do we
really need to name it the black sheep?
