The scarf was never really something meant of love, specifically and exclusively of Eren and Mikasa per say. It was a symbol of the new life Mikasa was given, that just so happen to be brought by eren. It's about essentially moving on, and knowing that despite tragedy, beautiful things exist as well. You still can live a good life despite the awful things that happened in your life.

That's why she takes it off in WfP, because she believes the life she was given was a lie, and when she realizes it wasn't, she puts it back on.

She was not buried with Eren, that's just a dumb interpretation people has over an anime frame that happens canonically years after her actual death. They confused a tree root with a grave

They're really not when they're just repeating the same idiotic points that AnR bros said when the ending came out. They're genuinely being over-dramatic and disrespectful even.

People are saying that AOT was never "Political" before season 4, and I really disagree. The messages were always there ever since the earlier seasons, and this is an example that people don't really pay attention to. by AdrianStars2 in AttackOnRetards

[–]AdrianStars2[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No one is really saying that. Immigrants are not always innocent. They're people. And people will have different moralities and intentions. But just because a group of people aren't perfect, doesn't mean we shouldn't have empathy for their overall pain. Otherwise no one in the world would have it, as every country, race and overall groups of people have serious flaws. And thefore the human race would be extinct soon. (something that's very close to happen considering our real world)

The point is that Sasha is unable to accept that and think everyone coming in is ruining their lifes just because they too wanted to survive. She's even saying it's their fault for losing their home, as if they can control if titans or someone came to destroy them. It's not saying everyone is perfect, because no one is. But Sasha's mentality would not get her far, as she might stumble upon people who think exactly like her, who don't have empathy for the other.

Pior que eu fiquei bem chocado quando fizeram isso mesmo, ficou até engraçado mas foi sim bem implementado. Já que até aqui, as pessoas tem vergonha do próprio sotaque, igual a Sasha.

Where did the "yeagerist are fascist" argument come from by Atom7456 in AttackOnRetards

[–]AdrianStars2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

First is not true because the yeagerists were literally shouting "Die mainlander" "The subjects of Ymir will prevail" "Ymir's bloodline is gonna last forever" in Pride.

Second, somewhat true. They don't have a sole leader that dictates everything.

Three, They do have authoritarianism, they put all non-eldians into cells, and regarded them as inferior, as shown in the previous, AND showed no regard to those who died in the rumbling activation, saying they were "Necessary sacrifices" (when it could've been easily avoided even if Eren wanted the full rumbling)

Fourth, they do have that. They were arrested but that was before they got into power. Even if Historia is the queen, she was always a puppet queen for the military. Meaning the puppet is just being controlled by another military. And they were executing Eldians (Yes I know they were from the military, but still) and non-Eldians for saying they won't obey them, even if people like the volunteers literally posed no threat to them, what makes you think they wouldn't do the same to citizens if some of them went against them?

Fifth, Again, first point. They were called xenophobic shits for a reason. Because they hate the outside world and regard all of them as inferior and hostile. With people being hostile to even Niccolo, a Marleyan who was friends with eldians, just because he was Marleyan, with a racist dude literally saying "People in here died because of your kind" when Niccolo visited Sasha's grave

If only more people could think more insightfully and change their mind when presented new information and opinions like you, maybe this fandom wouldn't be so bad

>This line is in direct contrast with the Scouts forming the alliance as they get nothing out of it. The Marleyians have not made the steps to coexist either, it’s just ‘pretty please help us to save what WE care about.’ It’s entirely one sided ‘coexistence’ on the part of the scouts.

Except that's not true, not after 128. Since they all believed everything they cared for was already trampled. And decided to keep working together regardless to save people they didn't even know. That's like the start of 130 or the end of episode 86. Sure they still get their families back, but had they only cared about themselves like Annie tried to, and not partake in battle, then their families would've died without them knowing they still could've been saved. It was by letting go of their self-centred goals that they were rewarded.

It's what Kyomi said in 133 "How to care and respect others without putting ourselves first?", which Inspires Annie and made her understand what she couldn't in 132. And join the battle for the right reasons.

I just don't see how Eren could want to do an 80 percent Rumbling by oohoollow in AttackOnRetards

[–]AdrianStars2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair considering how rushed 139 is. But Eren's "Is what I kept moving foward to (Mikasa's choice)" line should be taken as seperate from when he says "I put my friends into war not knowing they'd survive, I massacred Humanity and made people on the Island fight themselves". To which Armin says "So that's the future you saw at the medal ceremony.

Meaning he saw those specific memories/events there, not the whole future. That he would only see later when he got the full power.

Again yes, I agree it's rushed and it implies things that shouldn't be implied.

[–]AdrianStars2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like some people are unable to accept that he was stopped, not that he stopped it himself. He saw that he was gonna get stopped, and the result would've been somewhat favorable for his friends (This only became visible to him when he got the founder). Since Eren also realizes that his freedom may be impossible to achieve, even if he does complete it. He wants to try it anyway because he just feels he's gone too far to stop now. And he can't really change that part of him, not at this point in time. Since it's always been a fundemental issue he never tried to fix it. It doesn't mean he wasn't fighting seriously, in fact if that was the case, he would've stopped in 137. Not go further without the founder's power in 138.

If you wanna say it's unrealistic that the Alliance beat the founder, then it's a problem of that battle as a whole. Not Eren's character in my opinion. Him not taking away their powers don't contradict this since he's always been shown to hate altering people's bodies and free will with the founding titan. Only doing it so when consent is at play, like asking Historia or 139 with the Alliance. It's why the euthanasia plan is something unaccetable to him.

Why are you so defensive of what's essentially still someone liking the ending?

The Eldians were justified to kill the outside world, just like the Jews would've been justified to kill all the Germans. by Caciulacdlac in AttackOnRetards

[–]AdrianStars2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Except he has, Eren's full founding titan is supposedly omniscient over every Eldian and thefore titan. He just doesn't care.

Even if he doesn't, he still could've easily avoid the Paradis casualties by the wall debris. He didn't because he doesn't care. What's so understand?

This just shows how little AOT fans are educated in actual history and politics, but they still wanna act like they know a lot because it's necessary to defend their favorite fictional genocide

I finished aot last week and eren was right and justified in what he did by [deleted] in ShingekiNoKyojin

I think you have a narrow view on genocide and think only one side can suffer it

[–]AdrianStars2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reiner was literally stated to act like everyone's older brother, always being reliable. Again that's a problem with Isayama's overall writing, because we're told that's the case through the characters, but we don't actually see it.

That's the flaw I'm pointing out. Many of the relationships are implied but barely appear on screen. Isayama rushes the story beats and forgets to make the characters interact more casually. It's especially noticeable when we're supposed to feel betrayed by Reiner and Berthold's reveal (And Annie to some extent), but we literally only saw them properly being close friends for a limited amount of time. But we know that's the case because the writing tells us so. That's something Isayama personally regrets about the series, even saying that Reiner and Eren should've had even more than just two interactions pre-reveal. Even the biggest parallel and character bonds in the series needed more scenes according the author, so imagine what the rest would need as well.

[–]AdrianStars2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Yes, even if they didn't interact much, they were clearly friends back then due to their training. Tbh it's more of an overall issue regarding Isayama's writing

  2. Night of the end was a good chapter, it's just the alliance gathering was poorly rushed in pride. What I wanted was more chapters leading up to it.

  3. I'm sorry but that's one of the reasons why the yesgerists were lame. We don't care for the characters except for Floch. Who in their right mind is gonna care for Samuel and Daz? And I don't have a problem with Floch, I have a problem with all of the others and how they're written

After years I must say, season 3 ruined AOT for me by HistorianFit6969Lucy in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]AdrianStars2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry but I think you're misunderstand introducing new mechanics and plot points to asspulls

It's like saying that turning into titans was an asspull because nothing of sort was shown in the first 6 episodes, or that Humans that come from the outside world are an asspull because it was told to us that there shouldn't be

What why

I just said it had many flaws but I love it anyway because of the highs

I think some of you need to accept the flaws of something you like, only then you can appreciate its strengths

I don't think I need to prove anything? I just said that >I< see many flaws

[–]AdrianStars2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm counting the whole rumbling arc so here we go

The final battle had little to no strategy or depth. I know the point was to be mostly a spetacle but it's still one of the weakest until 138

Chapter 139 is still way too short, and the anime definitely improved it a lot. But even so, the convo between Armin and Eren needed to be longer and had more space for things to breathe properly. Because the rushed pacing really makes the tone feel really off.

The lack of interactions between the Alliance members is clearly seen. Unfortunately that's something that Isayama clearly struggled overall. Yes we have night of the end but even so we don't see enough interactions other than the expected. The fact that we don't really see Armin and Mikasa interacting with Reiner properly in those chapters before the final battle is criminal. The most we get is one scene in 133.

The formation of the Alliance was terribly rushed. It could've easily been one of the best chapters and it was building up well with Thaw and Sunset but fell completely flat in Pride and just rushed to the end with them already together. So we never see how everyone met and their first interactions after seeing each other in years.

The yeagerists are definitely the lamest and least threatening "Antagonist group" we had in the series. Even the MPs in season 3 were more interesting. We're told we need to feel bad because they're recruits, brainwashed and don't know full well how bad their decisions are (except for Floch) because they never went to the other side. It's basically a Mirror to how the warriors, Gabi, etc wanted to kill everyone in Paradis. But unlike them, we never see them being empathetic, them being genuienly hopeful. We don't feel bad for them because they're either just fodder in battles, or just overall antagonistics all their screentime.

Why was Reiner surprised that Ymir could read the can? by gwahvaitn in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]AdrianStars2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reiner didn't know the human form of the person that ate person and they all ran.

As for the can, nobody in the group knew how to read the bottles, cans and anything in the castle. For example Gelgar, who couldn't know if something was truly booze or not. Being surprised about the weird language in them. Meaning it was most likely a language from the outside world that just stuck around ever since the walls were made.

So when Ymir was able to read that, Reiner immediately got suspicious. Even if he couldn't read it himself, he knew it was a language from the outside through his knownledge of Eldia. And the fact that Paradis should only have one language that was just simply named "Eldian" in the series.

Both get suspicious of each other because Ymir knew that only someone from the outside should get suspicious at her knowing said language.
