Rumors and predictions

[nayami.livejournal.com]

I whined about this on my personal journal, but then I figured it was more productive to come here for insight.

A couple months ago people were talking about rumors for a second season of Geass. They came along with a post on spoilers, which for the most part have proven true. It remains to be seen if their comments on Schniezel will be as accurate. But then the series appears to be moving more rapidly since Mao so technically it could work itself to a conclusion. I just worry about all the plot lines it has to solve: C.C., Suzaku's abilities, the Rebellion, Geass and Lelouch and who really killed Marianne. I also question the decision of the series to include two recaps for a 25 episode series.

Therefore, this post is twofold. Is the community more inclined to believe in a second season and what are our predictions for how the series will wrap things up?

EDIT: I found the post with all the rumors.

1 - 8 and 14 have occurred. 11 and 13 are also looking likely, with 15 referring to a potential season two. 9 has me completely stumped, especially with the events of episode 19. I'm also not the biggest fan of 12. As for the second set of spoilers, I'm both hoping 1 isn't and is true, as well as 4.

Fortunately, 8.5 and 17.5 doesn't count towards the 25 episodes. So we still get 25 and two recaps.

Back at #15, I was afraid if the series would be one season after all, because the pacing still allowed some kind of final closure if the creators are insane. Now? No way. They're tossing up too many plot threads, developments and stuff to end everything in this final season. So we're totally getting Season 2.

How I think it'll end? Japan's Rebellion ends, Lelouch goes global. I REALLY want him to find out he's still really a pawn in someone's chess game after all, but that's a 50/50 thing. The CC plot finally explodes in second season, plus the destruction of Britannia (or not), other subplots...if there is anything that might be resolved in this season, Marianne's death could be it. But somehow I doubt.

yesss, I want Lelouch to go global. think outside the island, baby. XD unlike a lot of other shounen series where the story revolves around two male leads, usually either allies or rivals, I'm starting to wonder if perhaps we place too much weight on Suzaku. And I'm not yet sure how I feel about evil!Lelouch; I just worked through my insecurities and learned to accept his vulnerability. :(

I do think fandom at large place too much weight on Suzaku. Euphie seems more likely a contender for the 'main important counterpart' right now. Suzaku is built as the perfect character foil, but as a role foil...he's important, but I don't think the plot revolves around his relationship with Lelouch. The director DID say that he doesn't want this to play the 'two male leads' dynamic, early on.

Oh. WOW. Just, wow. Do I need to say how many how your points in the last paragraph is actually true? I'm amazed.

Well, they were really obvious points, from all the stuff we've talked about in the past? XD
