Depressive Screenwriter

The plot developments after this episode were also explosive.

Lelouch used Euphemia's death to completely control the internal forces of the revolution, and then took the opportunity to have a final battle with the Britannia Empire in Area 11.

It's all big scenes, all explosive special effects.

But Xue Zhiyong's focus was no longer on this.

Euphemia's death had a really big impact on him.

Having watched this drama to this point, only two plot points moved him.

Shirley's memory being erased by Lelouch.

And then this part about Euphemia's death.

This character who appeared in the second episode was given countless scenes by Su Yan, shaping the character into someone that everyone liked, the ultimate goal, in fact, was to use her death to shape Lelouch and Suzaku, to make Lelouch and Suzaku, these childhood friends, completely become mortal enemies.

Xue Zhiyong took a deep breath, feeling very uncomfortable and empty at the moment, but he couldn't bring himself to hate the character of Lelouch.

It's just that, towards the screenwriter Su Yan, he felt waves of resentment at this moment.

Damn it, now Xue Zhiyong was very sure that the style of Lelouch must be going down the depressing route.

All the爽 (shuǎng - feeling of satisfaction) in the early stages were all illusions, now Su Yan, you're exposing your true nature at the end of the first episode, right?

You're not even pretending anymore, right?

Tonight, the audience wasn't very concerned about the second half of the twelfth episode of Lelouch, which had the highest investment funding and could be called the most expensive single episode, but instead focused on Euphemia's death in the first half.

After the broadcast, the discussion about this episode on major websites and forums far exceeded the previous weeks.

Especially the grand occasion of wildly criticizing Su Yan, which had rarely appeared in recent years, appeared again.

"Su Yan, you old thief, apologize to me!"

"You're really not human~, how dare you do this kind of plot?"

"I've liked this character for a full three months, I originally thought that the main plot of this drama was Lelouch's revolution, and the hidden plot was Suzaku's growth in the Britannia Empire, and that the two would eventually grow up in their respective fields, and finally reach a reconciliation in the last episode on behalf of their respective camps, world peace, hehe, Euphemia's death dumbfounded me."

"This death is too tragic. Death is not scary, what's scary is that before death, the ideals and pursuits of life are completely shattered, and the whole life is a tragedy."

"Suzaku's last lie can be considered Euphemia's greatest luck in her life."

"Do you think Euphemia really didn't know what she was doing under the Geass command? Or did she know, but didn't dare to admit it, so she wanted to get the answer from Suzaku's mouth."

"She probably really didn't know, several times before, the people Lelouch gave orders to didn't die, and after waking up they also forgot what they did when they were controlled by Lelouch."

"Alas, it's really uncomfortable, I can't sleep tonight."

"What should I do! Euphemia is dead, will Lelouch be abandoned by everyone next?"

"I'm a little afraid to watch anymore. This drama is really uncomfortable."

"Su Yan's previous dramas were depressing in terms of romantic relationships, but this drama has risen to the level of depressing national sentiments."

"How is Su Yan's head put together? Doesn't he feel uncomfortable and his heart hurt when creating these plots?"

"Anyway, I'm already very uncomfortable tonight. My good brother said he'd treat me to supper but I'm not in the mood, everyone understands the damage this plot has done to me, right."

From the end of the broadcast at nine o'clock to midnight, the comments on Lelouch on major websites were dense.

Some were criticizing Su Yan, some were criticizing Lelouch, but almost no one was criticizing the drama Lelouch.

The fans' anger was only directed at the plot, but their eyes and brains were very clear, this drama was very good.

Perhaps there were still a hundred possible directions for the plot to develop in the hands of the screenwriter Su Yan, but based on the plot presented to everyone now, tonight's Lelouch had already become a god in the hearts of many viewers.

Euphemia's death, for many Lelouch fans, was a plot that they could still feel the discomfort of even after thinking about it ten years later.

The next morning, the controversy surrounding this drama intensified.

Originally, the scale of this plot in this drama was large, what TV series would dare to film a massacre in the plot, and then the instigator of the massacre was the protagonist.

Now the plot has made the kindest female character in the entire work die in this way.

Inevitably, many media outlets and haters began to emerge, saying that Su Yan's values as a screenwriter were incorrect, and that he was spreading bad ideas in his works.

If it were a screenwriter with general popularity and influence, such news reports might make him unable to recover forever, and his screenwriting career would become dim.

But for Su Yan, even within his fan base, it was divided into many camps, some people thought this plot was a masterpiece, some people thought this plot was too depressing and lacked standard.

But according to the rules of the Xia Country film and television industry, external comments are not very meaningful.

The vast majority of viewers do not speak out after watching a drama, if they think it's good, they will support it, if they think it's not good, they will silently leave.

The 98% viewership rating of the twelfth episode of Code Geass has already explained everything.

What's more, although its work's reputation is chaotic, the rating has not decreased at all.

Many people in the industry have understood.

Even with such a bold plot, Lelouch's fans did not abandon the drama, and few of those who said they would abandon the drama online made any actual commitments.

Even the negative comments about the drama Lelouch only lasted intensely for three days, after the fourth day, many fans walked out of the plot and began to examine Euphemia's death, and were able to feel where the plot arrangement was good.

At this focal point in time when the first season was about to end, chaos, a sense of crisis, and the oppressive feeling that Lelouch would lose everything with one wrong step enveloped all the audience.

There are still two episodes left, and the first season of Code Geass will end.

Lelouch is still a long way from overthrowing the Britannia Empire at this stage.

But he is only one step away from being abandoned by everyone and becoming a lone wolf.

Suzaku at the end of episode 12 clearly began to suspect Lelouch's true identity, but he couldn't believe it, so at the end of the plot, before the war began, he called Lelouch as a close friend.

The last conversation between the two seemed to be urging each other to be careful, but in reality...

...they were both probing, and telling each other, I'm watching you!

Will Lelouch's identity, which has been hidden for a season, be revealed in the next two episodes?

Euphemia didn't live for three episodes after knowing Lelouch's true identity.

If Suzaku knows Lelouch's true identity...

Lelouch can kill even his half-brother and half-sister, is Suzaku a big deal to Lelouch?

Also, in which direction is this drama going to shape the protagonist?

Lelouch's protagonist shaping has also reached a crossroads.

The loss of control of power caused a massacre, which eventually led to a full-scale war, what does this have to do with Lelouch? This kind of excuse is not convincing.

If there is no will to control the power, and you still abuse Geass, then how can you say that Lelouch, the protagonist, can clear himself?

Can those criminals who carry weapons and then abuse weapons also use the excuse that they lost their minds and acted impulsively to avoid punishment?

Related discussions appeared frequently on film and television forums, and at this moment, a large group of Xia Country residents were paying attention to the final plot trend of this drama.

From the plot, to the war, to the protagonist shaping, to the ideas...

...this drama has already led the fans' thoughts to various fields.
