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.

hey i agree with what you wrote because unlike light yagami, lulu was makin a better world for his younger sister and was willing to sacrifice himself for the people that he cares for. but light on the other hand would sacrifice his whole family if he has 2 just to make a better world for him. light wants to rule the new world but lulu wants to make a better world for his sister nunnally. and i believe charles IS trying to destroy the countries. i think that deep down inside he is really upset about wat happened to lulu's mother though he doesn't show it because he's a king and king's rarely show emotions when somthing happens to someone. i think he's destroying the countries for lulu's mother but doesnt know that he's doing it for her. and i also think that killing those children that were with v.v. deserved to die because this kind of stuff might happened again the future is unpredictible.
