R1: Charismatic, selfish, manipulative, vengeful protagonist. So delightfully bad, you can't help but cheer for him. Doesn't give a shit about anything but his own concerns (his sister, his friends, and his objectives).
R2: Guilt-ridden pussy who sacrifices himself for the world.
Way to assassinate a character and take away the only good thing left in the show. Why do people like this?

Yeah R1 was immensely better than 2, and just the fact that Suzaku lives on past Lelouch makes me want to hang myself. Usually I like it when someone besides the main character is a Gary Stu, but he was so self righteous and annoying that it just pissed me off when things went his way.
It also frustrated me that neither him or Lelouch wanted to take the time to actually explain themselves until like the last ten episodes. Before that they say the exact right words to piss each other off without fail 100%.
man FUCK Code Geass
But he's still alive.

Fuck off with this meme.

It had nothing to do with guilt, it was a question of justice. Did you not catch how throughout the series how the intros said something like "but if the future is won this way, who will pay for the crimes that will cause history to repeat itself" he broke the cycle by willing to accept responsibility for the evil deeds necessary for his good intentions. He was an inverted Christ-figure.

Because we understand what happened and you don't.
Morever, Lelouch was still vengeful, charismatic and manipulative in season two.
However, he was never exclusively selfish, which is where you're wrong, and he still had changing the world as one of his goals in season one.
Not to mention that he says the catchphrase about those who deserve to be shot right in the first episode. In other words, that idea was always part of Lelouch's character even from the start of Code Geass so you're making another mistake by ignoring it.
Aside from the fact he's probably still alive at the end, but this is all valid even in the opposite scenario.

Suzaku stopped being self-righteous and annoying. That was the point.
Explaining themselves would change almost nothing between them. They needed something external to push them.

No, you don't. You probably don't even know what a Gary Stu is.
>but he was so self righteous and annoying
Yeah, that's one of the main features of a Gary Stu.

>manipulative
Are you implying he wasn't manipulative in S2?
>>146139717
>>146145019
He's only annoying if you're a fucktard or a Lelouchfag.

Go back to being dead, Euphemia.
