shitting on Code Geass to make myself feel something, anything, in this bleak moment in time
-
starting with 23 previously, Euphemia was accidentally brainwashed into doing genocide. A plot point so inane I had to take a break from life and had a forced out-of-body experience
-
You know I can sort of see why, in a vacuum, this direction could have been appealing. Build up a relationship between Lelouch and Euphemia, paint Euphemia to be this good natured soul who truly wants the best for everyone, then tragically it doesn't work out
-
I've been meming a lot on these threads but I don't think people who liked Code Geass the first time around are stupid or bad or anything. I just have a very specific set of priorities when I consume media, and Code Geass really likes to fuck with them
-
Oh my God it's Suzaku
-
I just don't understand how Suzaku's pre-conceived notions of Euphemia's innocence outweigh all the tangible evidence that she just slaughtered thousands of people I mean he's a war criminal so I guess I do understand
-
Zero actually sounds like a leftist in this speech. Glad it took an actual act of genocide to get with the program there. And I guess taking over Kyoto
-
By that I mean I think this is the first time Zero frames things as "the empire of britannia oppresses minorities and needs to be removed for that reason". Before it's always been a both-sides sorta thing, where the JLF and Britannia are equally bad somehow
-
We're 23 episodes in now and we've yet to meet a single Japanese character that's treated with the same level of reverence and sympathy as all these white characters are
-
This isn't new - in an earlier episode we see the Black Knights openly accepting people the show profiled as far-right. Liberalism sees all violence as equally bad and the solution to peace to just tolerate everyone while keeping the status quo
-
HE WANTS TO CALL THE COUNTRY THE UNITED STATES OF JAPAN THE UNITED STATES OF I *HATE* IT HERE
-
Euphemia was just so good and pure that she ran a settler-colonial apartheid state, commanded an army that committed war crimes on the regular, and made friends with Nina who has definitely said the n word
-
idk just one Japanese character treated the same way would be nice as a treat
-
as an organizer, if I one day got to see the day where the end of the United States of America was at hand I would not be thinking about my liberal acquaintances in the suburbs
-
I don't feel like explaining it but I am correct
-
that's not a national identity I'm not sure how are you even doing this revolution rn
-
So NOW Suzaku wants to break the rules? To end the insurrection against the apartheid state? and you're telling me he survives this season?
-
Think I'll watch 24, and we'll save the finale for a special thread later
-
this show gets a third op?
-
this is such a waste of a good robot fight scene
-
again I quite like the actual fight and I vaguely appreciate the buildup it took to get here I just wish the story around it worked like at all even a little
-
this scene would be so cool if the Black Knights were communists it'd be so based oml I'd feel like Deca Dence made me feel
-
making more popcorn just to root for Suzaku's death
-
"Poor Nina" there is, and I cannot stress this enough, nothing poor about Nina
-
that's all for tonight I guess. Dalton is dead, Cornelia is in big trouble, and Suzaku was found tragically unharmed for the 24th straight episode of this series I'll be back soon for the finale 😘
