One of the most iconic moments of the series:
Shakespearean masterpiece or bad plot device?

It was 100% kino then and is 100% kino now.

Anyone who thinks this is a bad plot device is a retard who doesn't remember Lelouch's meeting with Mao.

The EUPHINATOR was a great twist.

That gif takes me back

So I admit it's been like ten years since I watched this shit, but was it somehow foreshadowed that he was going to lose control of his power soon? It always seemed like an especially contrived coincidence that he lost control right as he made a bullshit suggestion to commit genocide to his second favorite sister.

What would have happened to the show if Lelouch didn't accidentally make that order and he ended up surrendering to her?

Based Euphinator

Second season takes a tone shift and we get a romantic comedy with a harem end

The two episodes featuring Mao foreshadowed Geass being out of control, despite often being cited as a weak point in the series, or as "filler".

His eye started activating by itself a little before that when he was upset, IIRC.

This. The foreshadowing was there but it was way too convenient.

who was in the wrong here?

I guess people that call shakespeare a hack does the same with this

It was definitely foreshadowed that he would lose control of his power.

That he'd say one of the few things that could ruin his plan at this very moment is awfully convenient. And that all of this leads to half of S2 being a lame retread of S1 is just annoying, lazy and ruins the pacing.

Right but that was specifically Mao's that was out of control, wasn't it? Was Lelouch's getting ready to? What am I forgetting?

I'm not saying that it /shouldn't/ have gone berserk, but at that exact second?

Ah. This makes me feel better.

The problem with this scene is that setupped in a way that still made lelouch a good guy. Lelouch should have deliberatelt ordered her to do it

Lelouch actually wanted this to happen at least on a subconscious level, he wanted his power to misfire, so that he wouldn't have the guilt that he consciously wanted this to happen. Also pic related

Yeah, because asking for someone to "Kill every Japanese around" jokingly is sooo natural, fucking retarded nigger

This I can actually believe. Was this spelled out more specifically in the sub? I was a weeblet at the time

Alas, no. It’s just fanwank, although it makes perfect sense.

It was heavily implied. C.C. said something akin to "Geass reveals your innermost desires" in R2. The implication being that Lelouch's Geass misifiring revealed his true desire to destroy Britannia even at the cost of Euphie.

No, it's just brainlets' desperate cope in order to rationalize one of the worst plot twists ever.
When he hypnotized Euphemia, he tried to disable the command as soon as possible, but he couldn't. It was only later on that he realized that this (convenient) twist could actually be useful for him, but even so, C.C had to comfort him after killing Euphemia.

I think no one can be a rational life form and believe this twist was justified at the same time

This is incredibly pretentious. No shot though really since it comes from a /lit/ crossboarder. He could have said literally any number of ridiculous things to no real consequence yet he chose to say the one thing that would change the plot.

Did Lelouch ever lose control of his Geass again? I can't remember.

He permanently loses control of it there; it becomes active all the time. He controls it with contact lenses (lame, huh). Also Charles sealed Lelouch’s Geass away along with his memories.

I like how you invalidate your comprehension of the scene within your own post.
A nice way to let people know they shouldn't even take you seriously.

But why "kill all the Japanese"? Why not something equally as absurd if he was just trying to prove a point like "suck my dick"?

Lelouch is just that sick
