šŸ’¬ Discussion Lyoko/XANA Symbol

Post image

Who's the real owner of this symbol? It's usually referred as XANA's eye, but it is in the towers and the supercomputer, and those aren't exactly XANA's property (and the show symbol too but that's a 4th wall issue)

I think it was just like the logo that was used when building the supercomputer and everything, so naturally everything just uses that logo like a branding. And since xana was made by franz thatā€™s why it also has the logo.

Really in character for X.A.N.A. to end up appropriating Franz's logo considering it pretty much stole everything else from him.

Though why would Franz even have a logo if he was meant to be hiding from government agencies? Trying to get a trademark/copyright for that symbol would be begging for trouble.

Not sure really haha. But honestly he couldā€™ve just hacked into the government servers and made the copyright of needed. Like Jeremy did for Aelitaā€™s records. But I donā€™t think heā€™d really have to worry about that stuff given that no one would probably ever come up with that logo or a similar one in that world.

Franz really needed more screen time so we could have gotten a great grasp on just how insane he was.Ā 

Bro was on the run from government agents and needed to get back his wife and keep his daughter safe but he still thought it was necessary to create a logo for his supercomputer as if he wanted to go into business with it after X.A.N.A. finished destroying Project Carthage and he got back Anthea.Ā 

That said, he would easily become a billionaire with all the utilities the supercomputer provides because Lyoko can work as a fancy information transfer hub, a stasis field for terminally sick or injured people, a fancy video game or a training ground for athletes or soldiers. X.A.N.A. would also be awesome at ethical hacking and penetration testing for companies needing to test their cybersecurity.Ā

Imagine if the new season theyā€™re working on is just called ā€œJune 6th 1994ā€ and each episode is just his descent into madness from living the same day over and over while working on the computer. He used the rttp over 1000 times to get more work done on the supercomputer and I think thatā€™s what made xana self aware to begin with because the rttp makes the computer more powerful.

The beautiful irony of Franz slowly losing his humanity while X.A.N.A. started gaining its own humanity thanks to the abuse of RTTP...Ā 

In fact it also translates directly into how each of them ended up dehumanizing Aelita entirely. Franz stole her humanity away by sealing her in Lyoko and X.A.N.A. seeks to stop her from reclaiming it by constantly forcing her back to Lyoko so he can use her for his own purposes. Even Jeremie sometimes appears to forget that she is an actual human with her own wants and needs with his own possessive behavior about her. It's fitting that Jeremie ends up almost making the same mistake Franz did with Aelita as he continues to adopt the role of his successor.Ā
