Lelouch's Path into Darkness

[crossxx.livejournal.com]

:( 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.

lol, many might prolly be annoyed with this comparison but it's not really that easy to avoid comparing. they do have similarities. I think I never said this here, but I must give Death Note proper credit for leading me to Code Geass :D I was a Death Note rabid fan before Code Geass came. I read a post saying CG is kind of the same. so I went to check it out. and now what? huh, what's Death Note again? XD haha. jk. I freakin love both.

I know slaughtering those kids is evil, but I'm not seeing a degraded Lulu dead in the end because of it. simply because I've started seeing those nightmares since Season 1. LOL

no, I'm not expecting him to live. BUT I AM DESPERATELY HOPING HE DOES LIVE. that is if, if it goes along right for him. cause you know, there are some cases wherein death is classic. XD I just hope that when he dies, he dies with a proper death. It's going to be a pain to see him die but it's even more painful to see him dying without having done or proving anything at all. my first time to sympathize with a character this much. i don't care what others say, I'm a Lulutard and I love him XP at least end him decently Sunrise.
