Nunaly and Schneizel apparently gave warning to the people of Pendragon before bombing their homes and infrastructure, which totally isn't a thing that actual settler colonies do. Especially not, like, Israel, or anything like that that'd be a little concerningPermalink On twitter.com

The Black Knights are willing to join with their colonizers if they kill Lelouch. Now this is the nonsensical bullshit I've come to expect from Code Geass, that's betterPermalink On twitter.com

stepping back a bit, Raghava notices that Schneizel plans to nuke Japan, which makes us wonder why the Black Knights ever agreed to working with him without assurance from Schneizel that the Damocles won't be turned around on themPermalink On twitter.com
-
Being charitable, we can say Code Geass maybe wants to talk about how common enemies can be misleading, but in reality it's "if you're against Lelouch you're bad and irrational" againPermalink On twitter.com

There's more evidence Lelouch uses human shields than HamasPermalink On twitter.com

episode 24 😳Permalink On twitter.com
-
why is she surprised she was pretty gung ho about fleijas two secs agoPermalink On twitter.com
-
she's so sad about the war crimes she is committingPermalink On twitter.com
-
Code Geass is actually pretty close to a compelling story here with the fleijas. I just said the show needs to "commit". Right now we have Schneizel who's perfectly willing to genocide 3 in 10 people on earth and rule as a dictator if it means peace... (1/4)Permalink On twitter.com
-
...but then we have characters like Nina, Kallen, and Xingke who don't agree with this but enable this anyway for no reason other than we're supposed to like them. Then we have Nunaly who's a good person who can do no wrong so she's being lied to and coerced (2/4)Permalink On twitter.com
-
On the other side, we have Suzaku, a war criminal, and Lelouch, a war criminal. Both of them have killed innocent civilians and are proud of it. (3/4)Permalink On twitter.com
-
If we instead had, one side who was okay with killing civilians because they thought their rule was the only way to peace, and another side who built a coherent ideology to oppose this over the show, this arc would be incredibly compelling. Instead it's half-baked (4/4)Permalink On twitter.com
-
It's true that movements in real life aren't always ideologically coherent but storytelling wise if we don't have coherent groups and movements the story is super limited in what it can actually sayPermalink On twitter.com
-
Raghava points out - Todo says of Suzaku: "You turned your back on your country to climb in rank" He's correct, but unfortunately for him (and me) this is the closest Suzaku has been to being correct, so it's a little unfortunate he's saying this nowOn twitter.com

Suzaku hasn't even not nuked anyone before. He's just not correctly the one with the nukesPermalink On twitter.com

Why make nukes for your story if they don't kill anyonePermalink On twitter.com

The story acts like Lelouch, thematically, represents change and the future whereas his opponents represent stagnation and the present. But every time Lelouch accomplishes something it is indistinguishable from what came beforePermalink On twitter.com

Lelouch and Nunaly are speaking as if Nunaly is a person with ideas, who wants things and I'm like y'know where was this in season 1? Or even in season 2? Why is it the finale where this happens for the first time when Nunaly is HOLDING THE KEY TO A NUCLEAR WARHEADPermalink On twitter.com

Interesting thing about Code Geass is that even though my complaints turned into this series of reaction threads, I didn't actually hate every last bit of it. In fact, the times where I saw the show that so many other people enjoyed make me the most frustratedPermalink On twitter.com

Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion review Weaves together a somewhat compelling rivalry between Suzaku and Lelouch, but most of the rest show straight up doesn't work docs.google.com/document/d/1hsaEOm4qLu25Tikv-_7uZuoYgv0VKN-vp0mvxLaB3Xw/edit#heading=h.4z8ldorvax9u Recommendation: no Coherence: Passing grade Politics: Straight to HellPermalink On twitter.com

Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 review Better than S1 in a lot of important ways, but less consistent overall, with a failure to commit to key ideas that would have made S1 work docs.google.com/document/d/1hsaEOm4qLu25Tikv-_7uZuoYgv0VKN-vp0mvxLaB3Xw/edit#heading=h.4z8ldorvax9u Recommendation: no Coherence: Sloppy Politics: Straight to HellPermalink On twitter.com
