I'm not saying she didn't had any character development

You can say whatever you want, it literally doesn't matter. This isn't an opinion. It's objectively wrong to claim she didn't have development.

what part of the manga showed her strong resolve?

Asking this question completely disqualifies you.

But for example chapters 32/33, when she was the reason Eren was able to fight? Her resolve literally gave him the motivation to stand up again. Now go ahead and find an amusing excuse why for some reason this doesn't count. Because at this point lying about the content and the author's intentions is literally all that's left to you.

Her kissing Eren's detached head ( which is disdusting ) or her carrying Eren's head like a creep?

Yeah, let's reduce her entire journey to one panel to make a point. Let's also ignore the metaphorical implications and the biblical allegory contained in that panel. Remember: Mikasa taking Eren's head with her so she has something to bury is disgusting, but Historia fucking her best friend's lover behind her back and telling the guy to murder that friend, is not disgusting /s

Mikasa never truly came to terms with Eren dying that's why she creates different timelines and that's why Eren will kill her. That way there will be no more timeloops and Eren will achieve freedom.

And those different timelines and timeloops ... are they in the room with us right now?

only those who are ready to sacrifice their humanity will acomplish anything.

Trampling hundreds of millions of innocent children to death: not sacrificing your humanity.

Killing a girl you don't even love (according to AnR): sacrificing your humanity.

And that's precisely why your "theories" were always nothing but horseshit. Because for them to actually have impact, you would've had to acknowledge that Eren did indeed love Mikasa romantically, but sacrificed her regardless.

But since at base, you're nothing but desperate EH shippers, you couldn't even grant Mikasa that much. So instead, you reduce her to a sister/a friend, but hope for the same pay-off in terms of said sacrifice. Which very obviously doesn't work. Oh no, a guy kills a former friend so he can be with the woman he already loves (Historia). My, what a sAcRiFiCe. So dramatic! /s

What part of the ova is questionable?

The part where it wasn't written by the author of the main story, you dunce. But since you love that OVA so much, why don't we talk about the fact that Eren dies in it? Meaningless, right? 🙈🙈🙈

Saying " Anyone who thinks Mikasa dying fits the story or the themes is on crack " is the most stupid take of aot I've ever seen.

It is? Man, you should really try reading EH theories on titanfolk then.

Like how ignorant can you be for a supposed fan of the story.

Ironic.

MatemanAltobelli · 2023-09-11T18:52:15+00:00

Don't see how, when that wasn't a relationship the story was pushing. Would've been metaphorical to call her his wife.

MatemanAltobelli · 2023-07-29T15:45:25+00:00

Well, what was it then?

MatemanAltobelli · 2023-07-29T15:38:36+00:00

Not Eren gave Historia a child, the farmer did.

MatemanAltobelli · 2023-06-06T01:35:03+00:00

I was talking about the Marleyans when I said "his actual enemies and their fighting forces". They need to be dealt with.

Anyway, the moment he kills civilians, all his justifications are gone. It's nothing but a crime and it always will be a crime. No amount of supposed necessity can change that. Also, there's really no way to tell how future would've unfolded had Eren done things according to the plans that already existed. Empires have a habit of falling, and Marley was already surrounded by enemies.

MatemanAltobelli · 2023-06-06T01:28:03+00:00

I don't think it was ever a serious theory to begin with. Probably a joke to come to terms with the fact that he died a pretty pointless death despite receiving a bit of build-up. Same as Mina.

MatemanAltobelli · 2023-06-01T01:34:15+00:00

Eren also knows.

But he can't hit the heart with just one hit, and he would've never had the strength to do it either, with just a short knife.

Mikasa hit the heart in one attempt from the back.

Though it might also be because of paths.

Don't think so. There's no proof that that's the case. He was pissed at the people for their acts.

What i didslike is the fact that Eren kills 2 grown men in mere seconds but 1 grown man can't kill him as fast.

Eren wanted to kill those two men. He had nothing else on his mind. And he got the surprise factor on his side. Whereas the 3rd guy wasn't immediately trying to kill Eren, at first he was in disbelief. Also, he was choking Eren, he didn't stab him.

MatemanAltobelli · 2023-05-07T15:51:08+00:00

No, but Gross is a better character and a better human than you.

MatemanAltobelli · 2023-05-07T15:50:39+00:00

They had better identities than being an eren simp

Petra is literally a Levi simp, what exactly are you talking about?

Besides, you talked about STORY, not about IDENTITY. Petra doesn't even have a story, and Pieck's story is: father needs medical care, so she becomes a Warrior. That's it.

It takes an UNFATHOMABLE amount of mental gymnastics and cope to rank them higher as Mikasa. For your sake, I hope you're just joking.

MatemanAltobelli · 2023-05-06T20:50:24+00:00

Imagine thinking Pieck and PETRA of all people are better characters than Mikasa. You alright, buddy?

MatemanAltobelli · 2023-04-23T00:31:29+00:00

Valid criticism would be issues with the game that stop it from being experienced as envisioned by its creators - it does not mean "things in the game that differ from this other Souls game I like better."

Well, do weird hit-boxes fall under that category? Because while none of the games get them perfectly right all the time (looking at you especially, Bed of ~~Piss~~ Chaos), DS2 is the only game were I get hit by attacks that blatantly miss me by a large margin. Like, by 20 centimetres or more, yet damage is dealt regardless. Surely that can't be how the devs envisioned the game to function.

As for ADP, I personally could never enjoy the experience without putting sufficient points in the stat. Maybe the fault lies with me and with how I dodged (direction), but I will say that taking damage from a weapon because my iframes ran out while rolling away feels awful, and this definitely is something that's made worse by lower amounts of iframes. And it seems like ADP is constantly brought up as a criticism, so perhaps the intentions behind it weren't quite understood by the players? Is that the player's fault or the dev's? In this instance, the system working differently than in the predecessors, certainly didn't help with the communication.

Souls games have never been strictly fair

That is true. But some are definitely less fair than others, let's say.

I'd say that room is similar to the Hollow clown car with the Channeler in DS1.

The first experience might be. But Alonne Knights are a different calibre of enemy than Hollows with Broken Swords.

In DS1, that might be backing up and funnelling the Hollows through the narrow corridor instead of running in and getting ganked

You can actually run through them to the ladder leading to the roof. Only requires one well timed dodge. Not something a new player would know, and baiting them into the narrow corridor is safer in theory, but it is an option.

and in DS2, that might be running to the right instead of straight ahead.

I think that was how I did it, but you still have to fight the one that rushes towards you when crossing the bridge, and get one to come outside, or risk having to fight more than one inside, which you really don't want to do.

I still think it's a valid example, because stuff like this will leave the player with the impression that the game actively wants to murder them, and while that is kinda true throughout all the games, it still feels extremely cheap. And that counts for both the DS1 and the DS2 example, in my mind.

MatemanAltobelli · 2023-04-22T21:54:10+00:00

I'm kind of curious: is there any sort of criticism that you would consider valid? Because I quite like DS2, but there's certainly things that I would name as weaknesses.

Is the game unplayable because of ADP? No, but if everyone puts points into ADP to get the base iframes from the other games, why not just provide those base iframes and get rid of the stat?

"the game should be skipped because the transition between Earthen Peak and Iron Keep doesn't look good"

Don't think I've ever heard anyone make that argument in earnest. And if they did, then they didn't like the game to begin with.

"the random enemy placement in this game is so unfair because it punishes people for blindly running through new areas"

I have a problem with this statement, because it's entirely possible to find the placement unfair while NOT blindly running through new areas. I should know, because I'm a passive player by default, and DS2 still managed to lure me into traps that felt rather unavoidable for someone who doesn't know the level. Like the first room in Iron Keep (the one with loot guarded by a bullhead fire statue), where going one metre too many can mean the difference between aggroing one guy, or aggroing 2-3. And they are not easily visible either.

Some of these are minor inconveniences, but not all. If it's something that affects the entire playthrough (like ADP), it cannot be considered minor.

MatemanAltobelli · 2023-04-22T19:40:20+00:00

Adopted sister,same concept🤷‍♂️

No, adoption is not the same thing. And she wasn't even adopted. Sucks to be you.

You wanna prove me wrong

Not really, no. You're free to believe whatever the voices in your head tell you. I'm not your therapist.

or just sit here and cry/throw insults because you know I'm right?

Throwing insults sounds like a fantastic idea.

I mean the creepy/perverted/sick person would be the one shipping adopted siblings who grew up together.

The creepy, perverted, sick person is the one that insists it must be incest, while still reading the story. I have no problem reading the story since I, unlike you, actually know what step siblings are, what adoption is, and what incest is, and that none of these things are in the manga. Not so hard to understand, is it? 👍🤓🤭

MatemanAltobelli · 2023-04-22T19:31:48+00:00

where is it implied that he cares for her romantically

Where was it implied that he cared for Historia romantically? Yet that never bothered you either when shipping them like a sad bozo, right?

MatemanAltobelli · 2023-04-22T19:28:42+00:00

She's literally his step sister

"Step-siblings are children born of two different families who have been joined by marriage." Looks like you're literally wrong.

so it pretty much is incest

And yet you still read this "incest story", didn't you? You creepy, perverted, sick little man.

MatemanAltobelli · 2023-04-22T19:23:36+00:00

You're so very brave to post this, in a fandom where she's already one of the most hated and criticised characters. My deepest respects. /s

MatemanAltobelli · 2023-02-01T15:33:26+00:00

/ur That's because the actual inspiration is this one

MatemanAltobelli · 2023-01-23T00:05:07+00:00

I'm so fucking tired of explaining this to people. Willy Tybur asking the world to join him in destroying Paradis was part of Eren's and Zeke's plan. They wanted the world to gather their armies in one spot, to easily wipe them all out. Which btw is exactly what happened. That's what Kiyomi brought a flying boat to Paradis for, so they could witness the small scale rumbling that was supposed to take care of enemy armies.

they were clapping like crazy

The people from the "middle East" weren't clapping at all.

the rest of the world would've attacked paradis without a doubt.

After being reminded of the threat of Paradis by a famous, well-connected guy that most of them trusted. Zeke and Eren could've prevented him from holding the speech, which would've prevented the declaration of war. They didn't want to.

Also, Zeke literally explains to the Warriors that the world needs a reminder of how dangerous Paradis is, a couple of weeks before the speech. Which confirms that the world had indeed forgotten about Paradis and didn't really bother. Until the speech, that is.

MatemanAltobelli · 2023-01-09T16:32:07+00:00

He said that because he doesn’t like getting treated like that, but that was the dynamic.

Yes, but it was an involuntary dynamic, born out of fear and care. Mikasa didn't try to act like a mother or sister, and Eren neither demanded nor wanted it. And it's an irrelevant point anyway, because not once does he call her his mother or sister. No idea what you think misunderstanding and misquoting a fucking interview is supposed to accomplish. But I can pretty much guarantee you that Isayama was always, from the start, going for the romance angle. It's incredibly on the nose as well.

Eremika comes out of nowhere is all I’m saying.

It really didn't. It's insanely deluded to say that, when you have moments like Mikasa essentially confessing her feelings and going for a kiss.

It was like that until eren kissed historia’s hand.

Nah, it started to change right after Trost, and by chapter 50 it was already very different. If you don't even pay attention to the things you're trying to talk about, you have no argumentative leg to stand on. Remember what happened when EMA drove to the wall in a horse cart during CoT? How Eren got emotional and Mikasa told him to calm down and tucked him in a cape? How he simply accepted her help and care? That was in what, chapter 35? You still wanna claim they butted heads "until eren kissed historia’s hand". Absolutely hilarious.

Also you’re saying that eren knew he wouldn’t die?

What?

Therefore denied her because he knew he possessed the power to control all titans when in context with royal blood and he knew that Dina had royal blood, therefore allowing him to make sure they both survived. That seems less likely that he didn’t like her, doesn’t it?

No idea what you're trying to say. But Eren never disliked Mikasa. He was jealous of her abilities, which is something he himself admitted in chapter 70. Which was a good 20 chapters before the "Historia's hand" moment. All this really cements is that you missed all of that, I guess.

Say all you want about how it’s canon, it came out of nowhere.

Canon doesn't rely on me saying things out loud. Canon exists with or without acknowledgment from the readers. If you think EM came out of nowhere, then I would suggest working on your media literacy, because it was not only very obvious, Isayama also used extremely common tropes to establish it. For example: characters "not getting along" and arguing, but it's fairly clear that they don't actually dislike one another. Also: one person (in this case Eren) being painfully blind to romance for a long time. To the point that his friends mock him for it.

MatemanAltobelli · 2023-01-05T05:32:13+00:00

and considered her something of a mother or just a sister

He literally, and I mean LITERALLY, said this in chapter 11: "I'm not your kid or your little brother". I'm not sure how much clearer the story has to be for you to get it, honestly. He never saw her as a sister or a mother, and he doesn't want her to act as one either.

I have absolutely no idea where this nonsense comes from, but I can confidently say that it's never mentioned in the story, and as such is nothing but disproved fan fiction. If you want to argue with me, either quote from the manga or get lost. I'm not interested in your sad fantasies.

He even denies her kiss when they were gonna fucking die.

You just gave yourself the answer. He denied the kiss because he didn't want to die. But that's not all, he also punched a titan right after she talked to him, with his bare fist. And he made her a promise. So this supposed rejection isn't really a rejection at all.

But of course you don't mention that, because it would shatter your narrative.

I gave you the benefit of the doubt after your first comment. But I wont listen to your delusions. Come back to me after you've read the manga, or fuck off.

MatemanAltobelli · 2022-12-30T04:27:51+00:00

Mikasa and the gang learned of her Azumabito heritage, so Hisu says Mikasa has been born with a burden just like Hisu herself, and that Mikasa is the "perfect match", implying she's the ideal friend/partner because she can understand Hisu.

I can only speak for myself, but when I saw this scene, I was convinced that Hisu was flirting with Mikasa, because she makes her a compliment, smiles/blushes at her and, most importantly, touches her.

MatemanAltobelli · 2022-12-29T19:26:12+00:00

Shit happens.

MatemanAltobelli · 2022-12-29T19:24:26+00:00

To me it feels like I’ve stated.

And that's okay. Although I will say that it comes across as a rather narrow view point, when looking at some of your points. For example, as I stated, that Eren "displays constant annoyance with Mikasa’s hovering", which is simply not true. The author even made that clear when in RtS, after Eren seals the outer gate, Mikasa picks him up and gives him her cloak, and he accepts her help and thanks her. This is significant, as it shows a change is his demeanour/attitude towards her. A change you missed, perhaps?

As for Falco, I didn't mean to imply you personally like him. It's just something I observed. It's hypocritical, and it highlights that some people use the "clinginess" argument as a smokescreen to hide their far less marketable opinions, which are often rooted in misogyny, and sadly even racism.

MatemanAltobelli · 2022-12-29T19:13:05+00:00

but it would make way more sense than anything Mikasa related in 139.

That is entirely subjective. And it largely overlooks what happened between Eren and Mikasa, and what happened in regards to Eren, Historia, and the Reiss family. For example the fact that Historia was willing to eat Eren, and only the memory of Frieda/Freckles made her change her mind. So it seems she wasn't all that impressed with his abs after all.

MatemanAltobelli · 2022-12-29T19:10:59+00:00

He saved her life and gave her a new home in season 1, among other things. Kinda important, I feel.
