It's hard to see how the really could have capitalized on Geass more after R2 finished. It was absolutely Lelouch's story and once that story was told, there was nowhere else to go.

Basically for all it's silliness I thought Code Geass did a good job at making the battles and conflicts feel sensible, at least in R1. I mean one of the first things Lelouch does is assassinate the enemy leader, and the empire immediately responds by sending in people that are more competent and more dangerous. Not saying there aren't notable exceptions but they're in the minority.

Sort of related, one of the things that really struck me about R2 is how much less interesting the aerial mech battles are compared to the mostly ground based season one fights. When the knightmares are driving around, interacting with the terrain and getting into fistfights there's a real sense of weight and scale to them. Once they start flying you lose all that and it devolves into two points in space buzzing around and shooting beams at each other.
