a miserable failure as a person

an incredible success as a magical murder spider

It's hard to see how the really could have capitalized on Geass more after R2 finished. It was absolutely Lelouch's story and once that story was told, there was nowhere else to go.

Pretty much this. I'm really not interested in watching more Geass without Lelouch in it. Actually, I just want more Lelouch full stop; I don't care if they have to poo poo all over established canon to do it, I need him back on my screen and chewing scenery like it's going out of fashion. :allears:

Haruto wishes he could have been that interesting.

Lelouch thinks he's acting as a great revolutionary leader when he's really just out for revenge

Y'know, I think that was one thing I never really got a good handle on: how honest Lelouch is with himself. In the beginning, at least, it seems like he's pretty cognizant of the fact that he's just hijacking the rebellion for his own purposes, and I think that does remain his "default" position for the majority of the series, with him slipping into viewing himself as the great liberator whenever it's convenient, or he wants to feel superior to his enemies. Anyway, I think he's significantly less deluded than Suzaku, who... just, gently caress that guy.

EDIT: Recently, I've been trying to get a friend of mine to watch Geass. She loved Valvrave, but has been holding off on this because she's heard that it has a bad ending. Any thoughts on how I can convince her? I can't really say that it doesn't have a bad ending, because, well...

Writing-wise. Yeah, VVV's wasn't great either.

My main problem with the ending is that I don't think the Zero Requiem would actually work as described. People do not work that way: hatred is not a finite resource, and historically speaking oppressed groups have had no problem hating on their fellow sufferers. Even if you do get them to band together, they tend to fall back into fighting each other as soon as the common threat disappears. It's a stupid plan, and honestly it smacks of cowardice: Lelouch could have leveraged his imperial power to a program of reconstruction, reconciliation and decolonisation- instead he choose suicide. Disappointing.

Besides, it has Jeremiah and Anya on an orange farm.

'strue, you can't hate on the Jeremiah.
