I watched Code Geass but after the anime never got into it heavily and it was a few years ago, so forgive me if this has been covered somewhere.

To quote this page: " Even without his Geass, Lelouch is a formidable opponent. His greatest weapon is his prodigious mind, possessing a genius-level intellect, and is capable of devising and executing strategies with incredible speed and precision. "

According to the Zero Requiem page: " The plan involved focusing all of the world's hatred on Lelouch, then have Suzaku disguised as Zero kill him, dissipating the hatred and allowing the world to focus on more important matters than fighting, such as reconstruction and helping others, thus facilitating peace. "

Sure, the author's said that it all worked out fine but it seems more than obvious that such a plan would only be temporary and therefore a terrible way to get world peace. 'Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.' All Lelouch did was a short plan to gain peace for a day. He never did anything towards teaching peace. He is like a parent who smacks their child and tells them, "Violence is wrong." He wasted his supposed genius intellect. Give them a few years to get themselves together and bam. New war. Good job. You gave your life uselessly.

That's the problem with, 'genius' characters. Unless the writer is himself a genius, he ends up having to apply plot armor cover it up. Like at the end have some narrator explain how amazing the world is now that everyone is working to rebuild and working on solving hunger and poverty. Lol.
