These points are entirely unrelated. Meaning that isn't immediately obvious is fine; meaninglessness renders the whole affair pointless.
I don't think any of the aeon flux episodes are meaningless.
In terms of plot they certainly all make sense. The themes explored also tend to be pretty clear. The worst you could say is that whatever message it might be trying to deliver isn't usually spelled out in big bold letters.

I'll take your word for it, having not watched the show myself. My response was only directed at @maidenhaver's false equivalence between obscure meaning and a lack of meaning.
There was no false equivalence with obscure meaning. I told you that something can have no meaning, and that thing with no meaning can be given meaning. Having no meaning is ok. If you want something to have meaning, go ahead and give it ten layers of meaning.
It's like the people commenting on the show did not see it when it came out or something. This was before anime was in every asshole and before Adult Swim. It was before that thing you like - zoom zoom. It was all style without substance and that was fine because it AIRED DURING FUCKING COMMERCIAL BREAKS YOU FUCKING AUTISTS.

Yup, that's why it never caught on. The animation was compressed into 120 second bursts that made no sense until they were released as single episodes in the first season. The storyline was created after the 120 second shorts because there was no voice acting or continuity. Aeon died after episode. In the second season they went to five minute episodes, but still lacked any voice or storylines.
Season 3 was half an hour long that had full voice and an actual storyline.

Of course I never watched it. Why would I? That isn't why I'm here.
Once again all of you are watching it the wrong way it was never meant to be viewed like that. Back then the animation was actually good because we did not have 100,000,000,000 shows to watch online.
Basically just don't engage with the material none of you are gonna like it.
The equivalent of duct-taping a banana to a museum wall and calling it high art. If a piece of entertainment is heinously ugly, I don't find any desire to "dig deep" into any of it's themes. It's not something that enriches my understanding of anything. It's just an exercise in patience, and anyone who unironically likes shows like Aeon Flux is a spiritual redditor and a bit of a jew.
Of course the movie was going to be awful since you had to piece together the plot to begin with - the best they had to work with was pointy grass. Also, I hate Charlize Theron. I think I started hating her when she played that hooker bitch in Monster.
Apparently german and swedish both dropped æ in favor of ä, neat.
I prefer the way æ looks tbh, but it would be confusing to write ðæt. Too bad my university didn't offer norwegian or danish.
