Code Geass postcolonial counterhegemonic deconstruction of white privilege

Message of Code Geass: White people are dangerous and colonialism is bad

Attached: image_0250.jpg (350x509, 77K)

I'm still waiting for a villain with geass powers trying to spread communism

The message is that only white people can fight white people.
The elevens needed Lelouch to lead them and their resistance was token without him.

Do the Chinese in this show have foreign accents in the Japanese voice track? I thought I heard a non Japanese accent from Mao but I could be wrong

Lelouch is a power hungry dipshit abusing the natives for his gain the same way that the other Britannians are. The show is a metaphor for colonial power plays like the Great Game.

What the actual fuck

Was the Holy Roman Empire actually Roman?

It did control Italy

I know this is me falling for obvious moe-bait but every scene with C.C holding cheese-kun made me smile.

I'm fairly sure the Eunuchs at least had an accent, the way they spoke seemed a bit off, beyond the high pitched voices I mean.

Does CC ever say anything to other characters besides lelouch that isn’t an insult? She is very spiteful

She tells Mao that she loved him, right before shooting him in the neck.

They lost Britain to Napoleon but kept the States

Yes but Japanese ethnonationalism is okay :) silly gajins
I'm joking, but the fact that Code Geass kinda touches on that is probably good enough; its about Lelouch and the conspiracies and lies he weaves, and any ideologies he just picks up are tools, and means to his ends.

bro, you're only JUST now realizing this?

They LITERALLY say this within the first few fucking episodes. Code Geass has always been a vehicle for Japanese Nationalism

Season 1 of this was really good but Season 2 was a clusterfuck, it was all over the place. The ending itself was pretty good I think, but many of the things that happen before it were really dumb.

Sounds like you are clinically retarded

>Guilford, when I do this you will see me as Cornelia
You didn't think that scene was retarded? That's just one example.

>not!America controls Japan’s military forces

Well yeah

>White people are dangerous and colonialism is bad
Unless you are white.

Name a worse character in the entire fucking series, I dare you.

Suzaku.
Is that even a question?
Can't become more of a naive, self-righteous cuck.

Why was it retarded? His geass literally rewires the neurons in the brain.

Important question:
Do you pronounce is "Geese" "Gay-Ass" or "Gesh"?

Attached: 1dg3433h5fg13641e55412a31kdp6.jpg (956x946, 157K)

Suzaku became pretty based in season 2 though, Nina stays bad literally all the way through.

Gesh
It's an irish word

But at least she's a girl and only a minor character.
Pretty much every Suzaku scene was painful to watch.

Suzaku scenes are only worth watching when Earl of Pudding is also in them and is getting autistic about SCIENCE

I am aware. and yet, I can't help but lean towards saying "geese."
So do you say it right, or do you live dangerously?

Is it? What does it mean?

geas
/ɡeSH/
noun
(in Irish folklore) an obligation or prohibition magically imposed on a person.

Which is literally his whole shtick.

I say "gee-ahs" desu because that's how everyone I know says it

Interesting, I thought they just made it up for the series. That's neat.

I bet you have~

YOUA HI-NESS

>tfw the geass is a metaphor for the hegemonic social control internalized by colonial subjects and their descendants, placing them in a narrative of forced dependency for generations

Code Geass has the message that you'll suffer a lot by using the wrong methods, but that it's worthwhile if you're not entirely an asshole about it.

Not for all of its existence.

Mainly a bunch of Germans.

Eh, the show has provided criticism of actual Japanese nationalists a number of times. Code Geass isn't really NIPPON BANZAI as a series. Some characters qualify, but not Lelouch.

Help a brainlet understand something: what exactly WAS her Geass? Some sort of soul/consciousness transfer?

don't call C.C. a moeblob, she's cute and sexy but don't compare her to ugly moe characters

No, I know, I don't consider her character a moeblob, except for that part when she loses her memory I guess.
I was just pointing out that it's kind of a trope, like mentioned.
I find it endearing.

With ease. Shirley.

>they literally can't do shit without a white man leading them

What was C.C's real name?

Code Geass is implicitly all about what would happen if the American revolution, the most philosophically transformative event in human history, had never taken place and failed instead. Lelouch essentially tries to start it again, semi intentionally. You can take this deconstruction of white priveledge shit and shove it up your ass.
Read john Locke faggot.

>this little faggot
they certainly were very close enough to feel each other's breath
>kills Best Girl.
I agree Shirley was best girl. She got caught up in a bad situation (thanks Mao) and suffered for it. All she wanted to do was love Lelouch like a normal girl, truly the most tragic character. personally I have a hard time accepting the movies because the story is based on an alternate universe where fucking Shirley is still alive, among other differences. and when an AU's story is expanded upon it further invalidates the original story like it was never meant to be in the first place. haven't watched the movies and am very skeptical because of the AU.

Attached: 1dg3433h5fg13.jpg (867x489, 61K)

yeah, they even had it that in the beginning that Shirley was actually casually dating Lelouch in the 1st Recap movie but never actually explained how that happened. Also, I don't get why they couldn't of kept the parts with Mao and her lost of her father but perhaps had it when Shirley got her memories back in the 2nd Recap they kept the part of Jeramiah warning her not to get herself involve so she would of survived.

I still feel we were cheated out since the just kept the Recaps to 3 movies, I mean the only thing I kind of liked it was the moments that included the other characters only seen in the manga spin-off like of Marrybelle and of Clovis's younger sister though we still don't know of her fate though.

also, when they said that they would of included new scenes, I was kind of hoping some montage of animated versions based on the picture dramas, like of possible scenes when the student council members were at the water resort after the announcement of the opening by Cornelia, or of possible scenes at Ashford for the crossdressers party or of the handmade dress party which would of had Lelouch escorting Kallen in her dress.

Jeremiah Gottowaldo turned out to be a pretty based character in the end.

you know, when the bd came for the 1st recap which included this, I had thought it would of been a foreshadowing of what would happen in Re;surrection with Lelouch being reunited with the girls.

Attached: 71Oj-IRfcJL._SL1000_.jpg (1000x698, 179K)

since in the recaps they were the only 2 that Lelouch had kissed, since they retconned that Shirley never did in the movie canon.

>Message of Code Geass: White people are dangerous and colonialism is bad

The Elevens were worthless and needed Lelouch to help them mount a successful rebellion. By the end of R2 Britannia is still a benign hegemony otherise the world will go to shit.

Yeah, but nationalism kinda has a different connotation when you've been taken over by a global empire and relegated to a number. Let's keep context in mind here.

Are we getting a reboot of this series or just the movies?

Because I felt seriously blue balled after the final movie scene.

is akito the exiled worth watching?

Attached: Akito_Hyuga2.png (790x709, 802K)

yeah, it was also unsatisfied since it felt there could of been more scenes with characters since the movie was under 2 hours, while the Recaps had around 2 hours and 10-20 minutes.

Why didn't you protect her smile, Yea Forums?

It's a side story. You get a look at EU in Code Geass universe, though. They make Britannia almost seem like the good guys in comparison.
