There is something fundamentally wrong with this picture depicting Britainia from the intro of Code Geass. I will now properly highlight it.
A Britainian Empire without Britain sounds a helluva lot like a oxymoron to me. But then again this show is filled with Oxymora. Suzaku’s I will change Britainia from within and selling out his best friend to get to the top to Lelouch’s take down Britainia with my own dictatorship. But to the brunt of it is: who cares, it is a damn entertaining show.
Alright, I am bullshitting. I care as a proud Britainian. Britain should be at the centre of that map and to hell, if our arrow attacks need to hop over America, it should damn well do so. But I will continue watching this and I will continue enjoying it…
This post is inspired by little sleep, British pride and people talking serious about Geass… I would delve more into it but it doesn’t warrant digging… *looks for C.C. Fan Arts*
All Hail Britainia!
‘UNION FLAGANN! SPIN ON!’ ‘YES, MY LORDOH!’
… sorry, was sent back to that bizarre flag competition by your link.
Yeah, Code Geass is a pretty oxymoronic show at times. Even if the explanation’s all in the (bizarre) alternate history, it’s wierd to see a map where Britain doesn’t appear to be British, I mean Britannian.
And I thought I was bad at geography, never having studied it due to budget cuts. o.O
Well, from what I recall of the DVD specials, I think it’s because the Frogs and the rest of Europe attacked Great Britain, and because the American Revolution failed… the Royal Family hied their arses over to British America. And then took over the rest of the world, with the exception of United Europe/Africa, China, and Australia (nobody wanted to deal with them).
Really, I’m bad at geography, but I knew that.
Who cares, let’s just watch the show. It was fun deconstructing stuff for the sake of doing it, though.
(Geasses everyone to have fun)
orz… I think first priority should be getting back the home land first… I do want to see more of the war on the other fronts… Lancelot taking out the Italians intrigued me… XD
oh noes!!! You mean tea and crumpets have been wiped out? Fish and chips too?!?
what is the world coming to?!
Dear Lord, tis a bleak future that hast been put up by Code Geass. Haunting indeed.
Runningkid: No, the tea and crumpets are now made in Boston. Fish and chips are now more genuine than ever when ordered in Quincy Market. However, Ford and Dodge never became companies, and Britney Spears died of the pox fifteen years ago after finding that she couldn’t become popular as a singer (as she couldn’t sing). Also, American Idol never was invented, and Top Gear is now originally a Brittanian production.
However, network TV is still as bad as ever, except Doctor Who became Doctor What.
No one messes with Doctor Who!! horrible horrible future!!
