Is it such a bad ending??

Well, after watching the final episode 3 times and still crying about it... I am just curious on people's thought, reading the first discussion thread for the final episode [the one with over 600 replies ^^;;;], seems like most people think that the ending sucks or sunrise screw up CG!? [or it could just be because it is still spoiler time that most people haven't watched and understood the whole event of happening] 

Here's my 2 cents about CG R2 in regard mainly toward Lelouch!?

I would admit that it is till the final episode, till everything wrapped up in such a beautiful, sad ending that I understood Lulu.  Since the start of R2, I had my doubt of his behavior... his way of thinking always seems so extreme that there were many points in times, I [and as well the world of Code Geass] didn't agree with his action.  To me, he seems to have changed from the kind-hearted and logical sense in Season 1 to a cold-hearted and "Why don't you see those people [who care] around you??" of R2.   He changed to a person that draw in people to dislike his action, and yet all those action are only a mask that he put forth! As he screamed at Rolo... "how much he dislike him, how many times he want to kill him" [which those are true] BUT the moment when Rolo was trying to save him and overusing his geass which would lead to his death... he screamed back without a second thought, "Your heart can't withstand it and you will die.  STOP USING THE GEASS"!!  Under the mask of his cold-hearted self still lie his kind-heart that has never changed.

When Nunnally was under hostile, despite knowing how much Suzaku has been waiting for the chance to expose him as Zero, he put down the mask and face him.  Despite it was an accident in geassing Euphie for the masscre, he never put in any excuse and accepted the fault and the sin all upon himself.  When Nunnally turned against him and rejected his action and misunderstood him as being such a despisable,  coward and cold-blooded murderer; all behind those mask, only lie a soft-heart that want to give a simple/peaceful world to Nunnally himself as his motivation since the beginning.  Setting up himself to be hated by everyone in the world, tainted himself with blood of sacrifice, making himself to be the sole ruler and most sinful person in the world... and in the end carrying out the plan of "Zero Requiem" for his own death to shine a future of hope to the whole world.

It is true he has never changed since the beginning.  His goal, his motivation, he stays true to the path he believe in...

Without a doubt, CG R2 is indeed a mess after the initial "death" of Nunnally, but I believe the ending wrapped up Code Geass quite nicely and is one terrific classic!!!  It is a sad ending and yet it also has the subtle happiness for the ending.  Lelouch finally is able to accomplish what he started off even though that mean carry alone all the hate upon him and sacrifice himself.  Lelouch is free from the burden of the sin, geass-nature, misunderstanding, the continuation of the war and the world.

And yes, I know it is an open end that it COULD mean Lelouch is still alive with the whole CC's speech in the end ^.~ But nevertheless, Lelouch is the boy who has been fighting this battle all alone and is ready to get himself killed just to seek a peaceful world for Nunnally and for everyone!! *sigh*

To me is more like CC is talking and he is in the World of C, at least that was my first impression. Then I come to LJ and read all the possible!crack theories XDD
IF they make an OVA, I would like it to be about all the loose ends that are still around. So, what happened to Sayoko after prison? Did Rivalz finally hooked up with Milly? Is the rumor that Nani mai hunni is Rivalz's sister true? What the hell happened to Kaguya???

And if you really think about it, he is probably happy in Clovis' party island, drinking and dancing all day long, beating Clovis in every game of chess and trying to score with Euphie. Clovis has long forgiven him, since heck, the afterlife was much better than the real!life, and Euphemia never really hated him. He apologized to Marianne and Charles who had joined in the fun, and on their part they apologized too, admitting being awful pricks for what they did. At nights, he goes storytelling to the Geass children, and he kindly told V.V to GTFO of the party island, because he is such a party pooper.

CLOVIS' PARTY ISLAND FTW

I forgot to add on:

Rolo got to meet one more brother and sister, and he was happy to share his Lulu with them. He was often used as a model for Clovis' clothing designs, and he learned how to make party drinks with Euphemia. He later hooked up with Shirley.
