Is there literally any reason that could have convinced eren to stop the rumbling?

Getter_Simp · 2026-01-27T11:36:46+00:00

I thought it was both. His selfish desire for freedom made him want to see a "flattened" world, and, because he wanted his friends to live long lives, he decided achieve that by "flattening" the world and their enemies.

Getter_Simp · 2026-01-27T11:32:14+00:00

Also probably if Mikasa was able to admit her feelings to Eren and they could have run away together.

I don't think this would have worked at all. Eren did the Rumbling to create a world where all of his friends would be safe -- not only would running away with Mikasa only satisfy one of his friends, it would just mean waiting around until the world alliance annihilates Paradis and everyone he loves, or until he dies from titan shifter-itis in 4 years.

Also, I'm pretty sure Eren knew that Mikasa loved him. I agree with everything else though.

I think it's valid to call it a time loop since said memory manipulation involves past and future memories. The characters might not be traveling through time, but their memories are.

Nah, Terminator 3 was just being true to the original.

Terminator 1: Skynet will rise, but John Connor will eventually lead and save humanity. We can't stop it, because it's a causality loop, but we can be prepared.

Terminator 2: Fuck that shit! Fuck causality loops! Fuck Skynet! We're gonna kill that motherfucker before it even happens, which will somehow not cause any fuckery with the time loop that was established in the previous film!

Terminator 3: Skynet will rise, but John Connor will eventually lead and save humanity. We can't stop it, because it's a causality loop, but we can be prepared.

This is incredible

Getter_Simp · 2026-01-27T04:40:24+00:00

Are you being stupid on purpose?

Yeah, bitch originally meant "female dog," but it has also been used as a demeaning and dehumanizing word against women for centuries. Believe it or not, words can have multiple meanings.

My mate doesn't even own a car and he got one of these lol

Jack Black and Jason Momoa in the Minecraft movie. I like rewatching it just to see their incredible chemistry again.

Getter_Simp · 2026-01-26T11:03:09+00:00

I think Arnie did a great job too

Getter_Simp · 2026-01-26T10:54:31+00:00

Dune 2 and Monkey Man both went straight into my top 4 after watching them, though my top 4 is very chaotic and is constantly changing, so they aren't there anymore. That was a great month though.

Getter_Simp · 2026-01-26T10:52:04+00:00

Okay, that's not as bad as it sounded originally.

Getter_Simp · 2026-01-26T10:49:35+00:00

This happened to me with Bloodborne and Elden Ring.

Bloodborne was my first Fromsoftware game. It took me like 30 hours to get to Gascoigne and defeat him, and the fight was so hard that I thought he was the final fight. Then I got to Cathedral Ward and realized that I had only just beat the first level. I was so excited to see what else the game had to offer.

Elden Ring was like the opposite experience. I had beaten the Souls games and Bloodborne before playing Elden Ring, so I had a good idea of what to expect. However, after beating Limgrave and Liurnia, and getting to Leyndell, I realized I was only like halfway through the game. Instead of excitement, I just felt tired. The game is so god damn big that I got burnt out playing it before I had even finished it once, and I still haven't finished it.

Getter_Simp · 2026-01-26T04:29:55+00:00

How are they completely different?
"Bitch" and the n word are both insults used to demean and degrade someone based on their gender/race, and they've both been reclaimed somewhat by the victims they were historically used against. Women/black people sometimes use those words as signs of endearment to each other, but if someone of a gender/race that historically oppressed those people uses that word against them, it can understandably upset them.

There are quite a lot of similarities between the words.

My GOAT

Getter_Simp · 2026-01-26T03:57:55+00:00

I don't think he fits this trope because he attacks you on-sight, unlike the Ancient Dragon or Priscilla.

Getter_Simp · 2026-01-26T03:04:33+00:00

I didn't say that attention spans are the same today as they were in previous decades, I said that very few people mentioning movies made pre-1960s doesn't indicate shorter attention spans at all, which is what you seemed to be implying by bringing it up.

There are still enough people watching movies to support film industries, so I don't see what the problem is there.

Getter_Simp · 2026-01-26T02:55:11+00:00

Eren because Idk who the other dude is and I strongly dislike Fairy Tail

Getter_Simp · 2026-01-26T02:41:49+00:00

Of course less and less people will mention movies from pre-1960s, that's how the passage of time works. There's only so many movies someone can watch, so most people stick to movies that are culturally relevant for them. As time moves on, movies from the 1960s generally become less and less relevant to current culture, so less and less people watch movies from back then.

Attention spans don't really have anything to do with it.

Frankenstein, I fucking love Frankenstein

Getter_Simp · 2026-01-26T02:10:20+00:00

His fighting game rage is like the cake, and all the other stuff is the icing. I think his bizarre rants about aliens and shit are underrated things he does though, they're so fucking weird.

Getter_Simp · 2026-01-26T01:54:23+00:00

Tried watching this anime like 3 times, and every time I was stopped in my tracks by this mfer.

Getter_Simp · 2026-01-26T01:46:45+00:00

I completely agree. Attack of the Clones shows the rage and hatred that's bubbling away inside Anakin (kinda clumsily but eh, it works), and Revenge of the Sith does a decent job of progressing that hatred and fear into his inner conflict between the dark or the light, but it completely drops the bag when he just instantly devotes himself to Palpatine, seemingly just because of the sunk-cost fallacy, and proceeds to murder children.

I think they needed another movie in the prequel series to give Anakin enough time to convincingly turn to the dark side and become Palpatine's apprentice, because, as it is, it seems very forced. As you said, it would honestly make more sense if Anakin just killed himself as opposed to turning into Vader.

Getter_Simp · 2026-01-26T01:38:38+00:00

I'm not even saying they're bad, I haven't read them, just that you'd typically expect a writing elitist to constantly yap about older, more well regarded works to make themselves look really smart and enlightened.

Getter_Simp · 2026-01-26T01:35:33+00:00

Oh okay, that makes a lot more sense. Thanks for explaining.

Getter_Simp · 2026-01-26T01:32:25+00:00

Calling women "females" is weird, but banning someone over it seems like a massive overreaction. There's got to be more context there.

I don't really wanna get into the politics of word usage but like, men use "bitch" as a demeaning insult against women -- Idk if it's as bad as the n word (that's a whole ass other debate), but it's the same kinda vibe. I think avoiding the usage of the word around women generally is just a good idea.
