What do we really think of Code Geass characters?

R2 episode 21 thoughts

From the look of things, most people in the fandom are ok with Suzaku now and have spontaneously dissolved their almost universal hatred of him as long as Lelouch accepts him (to use him). Is this why some people stopped hating Rolo when Lelouch finally accepted him when he died? Do we all really have our own steadfast opinions of each character in the show or do we just go with Lelouch's flow whatever it may be? I'm not suggesting that we should hold lifelong grudges against anyone and stubbornly hold on to certain impressions, but it helps to look back and see if our changes in opinions are sometimes a bit too whimsical, not to be critical or anything. =)

Pretty much the only character where I've flip-flopped my opinion of her/him is Rolo. At first I totally hated him 'cause he was a "SHOTA IMPOSTER D :<" but then I hated him less because he became useful to Lelouch, but then I went back to hating him after he killed Shirley. I didn't even BAAAAAAAWWW at his death scene (although I do think it was a very good scene, I loved how Rolo was using his Geass so often that Lelouch's sentences were becoming staggered when he was talking to him) but now that he's dead I don't really hate him, I just dislike him.

I've always liked Suzaku. <3

And my opinion of Orenji-kun hasn't changed, even though he came to Lelouch's side. I don't dislike or like him. I probably don't like him more because I thought that his switching of sides was a little weird--abrupt is probably the word I'm looking for.

But now that Turn 21 has happened, I'm all happy inside now that Suzaku and Lulu are BFFs again. 8 D It always made me sad how they weren't friends anymore when they were so close.

The only single character I've liked consistently has been Kallen.

IAWTC. Even dear Ougi has let me down sometimes whereas Kallen always seems to do what she feels is morally right. She's well-balanced in the way that she won't let anyone treat her badly, but also doesn't jump to unfounded conclusions.

I believe the people at hatedcharacter have tags that comment on this.

oops, I am one of them sub-conciously D:/

I fangirl Lelouch and whatever shit happens to him can warrant my dislike for the responsible characters [e.g: Suzaku] But I swear I did not waver my feelings like a mindless fangirl D:

I could only defend myself by reasoning that probably because I follow the series with a very close perspective through Lelouch's. Therefore I relate to him and dislike whatever wrong comes to him.

But Rolo has always held a unique placement in the plot, I never liked or hated him. But I pitied him. I felt relieved he died in good denial of his brother's true purpose of him.

Oh, Lelouch you do have mercy <3

Lol, that comes back to the assumption: try to push logic inside a show that is not based on logic is a match lost before it starts. =P

Reasoning on Geass is interesting, but also now, the most important twist in the story are mere consequence of fatality... so..

It's rather silly when they try to come up with "justifications" when all it really is is character favoritism.

That's it. One should be able to distinguish between "I like/hate him!" and "he's wrong/right!", or, if he's not, he should avoid discussing matters from a faux-analytical perspective.
