There was absolutely no point in reviving Shirley in the recap movies cuz she didn't do shit in this movie. What the hell were the writers thinking? They wasted money making recap movies that divert from the original so that CC's plan can take place with the help of Shirley when they can do it without her. If they needed a civilian to write the letter, they could just make one of Lelouch's former classmate do it!!!

I apologize for the rant but i really hated how they omitted Shirley's death which had the most impact in the original Code Geass just to make her appear in the movie three times without substantial dialogue.

They probably just left it out because they ran out of time to include it in the recap movies, not because they wanted to change canon. Remember, this is an AU that takes place in the recap movie timeline. In the TV series both Shirley and Lelouch are dead even though they're alive in the AU.

The movie trilogy leading up to this film made many changes to the original story. In particular, the fate of the character Shirley. Were there concerns that such a sweeping change would affect Lelouch's character motivations too much?

Gorou Taniguchi: We judged that the remaining motivation (Euphemia's fate, for example) was sufficient for this set of movies. And with the character Shirley, specifically... the more we portray Shirley, the more it becomes the story of Lelouch and Shirley. And that's more the direction that we wanted to take it now with this story. We created this film with the vision that Shirley represents peace and normality.
