Yeah.
That said, I thought Lelouch ultimately did more for the sake of atonement for what he did. And this was in spite of the fact that his actions, while they did have selfish motives, were also rooted in a belief that the Britannian system had to be uprooted due to corruption that he had experienced first hand. He relinquished his line in succession to the throne when his father told him that infighting for the throne was the norm as an excuse when answering his question about why his mother was not protected from being assassinated. Whatever his justifications for his savagery, noble and selfish alike, he answered for them through the Zero Requiem, practically using himself as an enema to make the world tire of hatred and conflict, and relinquishing his life in the end. Cornelia, in spite of her bits of development, never really did seem to display any remorse for her pre-R2 savagery. It's as if all of that was swept under the rug in the second season.
