>turning Acura into a cardboard cutout of his past self
For me the most important part of main universe Cope is the way the plot hammers in just how futile his crusade ultimately is, and his stubborn insistence on staying committed to it anyway. You're meant to sympathise with but not root for his actions. iX chickens out by making the main villain literal Hitler and the world magically fixing itself once he's killed.
