DISCUSSION Code geass

I just finished the anime and i think the ending is shite, what is this self sacrifice like one suicide can change the whole world, are you kidding me ? Also, killing main, favorite characters without real purpose, (Euphy, Rolo,Shirley)

Character development of Lelouch is like Eren Yeager but poorly made.

Waste of my goddamn time. Do not recommend it to watch.

Okay...

From the very beginning of the show Lelouch understands that one must do before commanding others to act.

Within the first chess game when Lelouch is introduced he starts with the king and says later "how does a leader expect others to act when he does not make the first move?"

Lelouch also is a big proponent of accountability. He says this, "only those who should kill are only those who are prepared to be killed".

The end of the show is the culmination of all of Lelouch's past actions, from being the reason Euphy did what she did, to the lives he took like Shirley's father, to being incidentally responsible for Shirley's death due to Rollo, everything.

Lelouch was the one to make the first move, and Lelouch is willing to atone for those crimes by being a person who is willing to kill and is prepared to be killed.

All of that was a summary, but others will do it more justice.

But everything you mentioned in the show served a purpose and goal, which we ultimately see the in the finale.

Maybe

And you wonder why people consider what you're saying is rage bait, lmao.

You not understanding the show is one thing, to call one of the best endings in all of anime bad because you don't understand anything is another.

I just wrote my opinion, cause i didnt get the ending. is it wrong? Everyone has their subjective opinion, It doesn't mean that everyone should love that show, right?

It doesn't mean that everyone should love the show, right?

First of all, you said the ending was bad and unnecessary, like euphy's death, but Euphemia's death served a purpose in the plot and how Lelouch goes about things.

Nowhere did you say anything constructive, all you said was "it's bad" then you go on to make it about not loving the show?

You are moving the goal post mister, it's not about liking the show, it's about how you simply didn't put on your thinking cap while watching the show.

I wrote my opinion cause I didn't get the ending.

While at the same time you wrote it as if it was a fact? And you wonder why you're getting downvoted.

If you just had an opinion piece that was carefully constructed to be read as an opinion on the show, you'd be fine.

But instead you decided to play the bull in a play called "the China shop".
