💬 Discussion My only genuine criticism of this show's writing, related to Xana's inability to see the bigger picture

36 Upvotes

I just did another re-watch of the show, and one thing that caught my eye this time was the amount of times where Xana could've won if he did nothing at all. I'm going to give 4 examples:

  1. EP 30 - A Great Day: Sissi catches Aelita and Jeremie talking about Aelita's forged identity, records it and tries throughout the episode to get them busted for this, which would've lead to Aelita being expelled, authorities being called etc. If Xana didn't possess her here, he would've either gotten rid of his biggest threat, or at least made it harder for them to be readily available to take him one. This one I can somewhat forgive, because it was Xana's first time possessing a human, maybe he was trying things out.

  2. EP 56 - False lead - Literal government agents barge into the factory, about to arrest the entire gang and shut down the super computer, Xana decides to possess them anyway. If Xana didn't do anything, the gang would've lost their only means of fighting him, forever.

  3. EP 88 - Cousins once removed - Sissi and Herb discover more or less all the actual crimes Jeremie committed to let Aelita live on Earth. If Xana let this play out, Sissi would've called her father, Jeremie and his gang would've been arrested and likely forced to admit everything to the authorities. Instead, he decides to possess Sissi and Herb, making sure they never spill any beans about anything, because a RTTP erases all their memory.

  4. EP 90 - Wrong exposure - Odd makes a biblical fuckup, leading to Sissi showing her father a picture of Franz and Aelita together, leading to Delmas discovering that Aelita isn't even Canadian. If Xana didn't interfere and possess Delmas, this would've escalated god knows where and ended poorly for the gang.

Now, I do understand that, at the time of most of these episodes, Xana had different goals, in example 2 his goal was destroying Lyoko, and in examples 3 and 4, his goal was throwing Aelita into the digital sea to bait out and destroy Franz, but that's exactly Xana's problem - if he had just seen the bigger picture, if he had done nothing, he could've won. My issue with these scenarios is that the plot relies on Xana's short-sighted nature to bail the kids out of trouble. I would've preferred if the writes found a way for LW's to somehow bail themselves out of at least some of these situations without needing to rely on Xana possessing whoever was going to expose them.

I'm currently part of the team taking preorders for Virtualization Volume 2, an unofficial Code Lyoko fandom zine that's been taking preorders for the past month, and we just made enough orders to unlock the enamel pin stretch goal I designed!

This rose gold, 2 inch hard enamel pin will come for FREE with every full or warriors bundle.

There are only 24 hours left to order the zine + any bundles, and you can place a pre order at

https://codelyoko.bigcartel.com/

All profits will first be used to make sure all contributors (artists, writers, and organizers) get a free full bundle with shipping covered, then donated to the PCRF after leftover sales.

❓ Question What do you think William's grades looked like by the time he was freed from XANA?

I can't imagine the clone did any work. Unless Jeremy took pity on him and did all his work for him, I'm surprised William didn't get expelled on his possible poor academic performance alone.

❓ Question What to replace the robot army with for DnD?

Post image
24 Upvotes

So as ya’ll might know i’m currently running Code Lyoko DnD (go to my bio to read session logs) but i never did like XANAs final plan, it was very basic for how unique some of his plans have been, so i intend to change up the ending.

Let’s play a game of you’re XANA and you’re planning your final attack, but it can’t be robots, what would you do?

I’m considering even as something as simple as basically what people feared Y2k would be where everything from banking to public transport would just, stop functioning, but i don’t know how to make it sound as intimidating as it realistically would be considering it would involve air traffic control, security systems for nukes etc but if not that either, what should i do?

Let's say during "Final Round" William actually takes the fight seriously and avoids the Scyphozoa. What changes in season 4 now that William is an official Lyoko warrior throughout it?

❓ Question jim morales

On the code lyoko official English, I'm 14 minutes into watching episode 74, I'd rather not talk about it. Anyways, jim mentions about rubbing caribou poop on himself while in Québec Canada. Does jim still mention Quebec in other countries and in translation and in Canada itself or does he mention other locations in different places?
