crossxx.livejournal.com in code_geass:( Hai guyz, read what I have to say nao!
I'd always feared Sunrise would take a copout and direct Code Geass R2 through the path of Death Note, where the hero becomes pointedly the anti-hero and his death is happily justified to the viewer due to the hero's eventual ignoble intentions. Lelouch started out with incredible intentions, wishing to create a world of peace and equality. Sure, he's been the cause of a lot of deaths, but they were somehow always for a reasonable cause. However, watching episode 14, I'm starting to fear that Lulu's batshitting is just the beginning of more senseless destruction. In 14, even his subordinates remarked on the parallel between Britannia/Japan and OoBK/Geass Cult with regards to the slaughter.
It worked for Death Note but for Code Geass, having a vilified Lulu die in the end will be utter crap. One of the reasons why I like Code Geass is because Lulu keeps a sensible head on his shoulders. Unfortunately, I just don't see the CG world just stepping around Lulu's massacre with all the dissent from the order and given the flow of the plot, I doubt this will be an isolated "sorry haha!" incident.

This episode is making me feel like he is so cruel again. He's my favorite character, but nonetheless... the way he thinks the things he does are justified is making me sick sometimes @_@ I mean, the massacre was really uncalled for and although I didn't like Rollo at the beginning, I feel so very sorry for him, because he's doing everything for Lulu, believing in him and in return being used and almost getting killed off -.- I mean... Shirley's death was never entirely Rollo's fault to begin with *cough*... Who dragged her into this whole affair, anyway? >_>;;
