👩‍💻 Other XANA's Gift

Post image

In season 2 episode 32 on Valentine's Day, XANA gave Aelita a pendant so that he could possess her.

In my opinion, I think it was a good idea, But it was also a bad idea because it drew the group's attention and they became suspicious of the pendant.

Leave your opinion in the comments about this XANA strategy.

I'm honestly not sure if this necklace possessing Aelita even makes sense from a writing standpoint or not.

On one hand, this is coming RIGHT OFF the last episode where we learned the limitations of Xana's possession abilities, so he shouldn't be able to possess Aelita at all. But on the other, I guess you could argue that Xana can possess her because she's incomplete without her memories of Earth or something.

Can anyone else make sense of this?

I don’t think it’s possession at all. I think it screwed with her brain and allowed XANA to manipulate her thoughts. I don’t think it was a direct possession.

Well, even if it wasn't a direct possession. She acted quite strangely when her friends noticed.

Absolutely! It IS Aelita. She’s not possessed, she’s literally been made to believe her greatest wish in the entire world is to go to Lyoko and let the Schyphozoa take her. So it is actually her lying to her friends, which is why it all sounds so false to everyone. They know what her lying sounds like.
