I don't like to think of Utena as a martyr.

Hell no. Just look what became of the two original martyrs in that series.

I like to think she lived on as a failure. I also think that sometimes there's no shame in being a failure, despite the stigma society attributes to it.

She failed at something impossible, and in doing so accomplished something real, without even realizing it. You're right; there's no shame in that.
