Talk:Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;surrection/@comment-2A00:D2E0:2:9300:D1C6:134B:5350:DB4E-20191008195136/@comment-2A02:1810:4F0B:500:B992:C6CB:3621:B83A-20191008202813

THE biggest difference is the conclusion of C.C.'s arc.

In the original story she accepted Lelouch's death and found peace knowing that he died with a smile because he achieved world peace. Thus Lelouch stayed dead forever.

In the movies' alternate universe C.C. could not accept his death, saying she still wants him around. Thus she resurrects his corpse against his wishes (she admitted that herself). Without this complete turnaround in motivation it would never have been possible to bring back Lelouch and thus this movie could not have existed.

The original series ended conclusively, it could only be continued as an alternate universe with this huge change.
