Month and a week old post, but I thought this might still be worthwhile if you're looking into the Mason/Largo dynamic: http://www.ravensgarage.com/garage/maslargo.htm
Also, various points that I'm aware of that seem relevant:
- 2040's Brian J. Mason is turned into a boomerized "gargoyle" near the end of the series, so that he can witness the world Galatea's about
to create. He is not KILLED, and had Bubblegum Crisis 2041 actually been made, the director noted that was a plot point that would've carried over,
suggesting a sort of Neo-Largo.
- Largo has an obsession with Sylia he inherited from Mason, and Galatea is a perfect replica of Sylia(her final appearance looks very much like a long haired
2032 Sylia, with her black hair) named after a living doll crafted by a man who wanted the perfect wife. Perhaps instead of Galatea subjecting Largo, Largo
might be looking to create an equal "goddess" for one of such high standing as himself.
- Galatea's motivations aren't so malevolent as they appear. She objects to GENOM's (willing) enslavement of her people(by explanation of the
limiters on their intelligence, powers, etc), and the final episode seem to indicate that she realizes that, by attempting to destroy humanity in turn so as to
free her children, she's become as bad as GENOM ever was. Largo, by contrast, has a god complex about boomers and wants to rule over them whether it's
for their own good or not(he has no compunction about throwing Sylvie and Anri away without a second thought, or slaughtering multiple boomer guards in Red
Eyes). It's not so much that his rulership will be good for them as it is he deserves to be worshipped for his magnificence, and the boomers are easier to
make his subjects than humans would be(and possibly a bit of racism, given Mason apparently regarded a boomer body as inherently superior to a human one.)

"Oh, silver blade, forged in the depths of the beyond. Heed my summons and purge those who stand in my way. Lay
waste."
