I think another pet peeve/let down I had with the series was how they portrayed Max as wannabe Lelouch with absolutely no redeeming qualities.
Dude ordered the summary execution of one of his officers that had been torturing (admittedly non-darcsen, but that goes back to the RL parallels of WW2, eugenics and anti-semitism being pretty popular before Hitler's rampage) innocent Gallian civilians, as well as using them as human shields.
The guy was pure evil no doubt, but he was a classy "honourable" solidly Lawful Evil evil and I don't think the show really captured that dynamic.
