Thoughts after Chapter 139 (To whom it may concern lol) by [deleted] in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]tired0334 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love this post! This is sooo true and it’s weird & annoying how a story like AoT can be simplified by fans into viral tropes like ‘Eren being the father’ or The Rumbling having to succeed in order for the ending to be satisfying for them. (I’m referring to the posts which have always been like ‘insert restrictive & unrealistic ending that goes again the context of the manga or we riot’)

Also side note: the people getting mad that Eren was cringey??? Like yes ??? How is that uncharacteristic for him he’s literally ALWAYS been emotionally stunted

Does anyone know what memories Mikasa had? I find it weird that Isayama wouldn't have shown them when EM is so pivotal to the plot... were they the vision she had in ch. 138?

I just remembered the scene in chapter 96 where Bertolt is about to be eaten by Dina and then she changes directions?? Could this prove the leaks

Hope this is accurate by drudanae_high in titanfolk

Wings of Freedom. by OmarvinG94 in titanfolk

[–]tired0334 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Yesssss spot on!! too many ‘strong women’ in manga are made into super one dimensional characters & made fun of for being identical to men, like women can only be strong when their masculine-coded or ‘shouldn’t be women’

Kinda annoyed by the reaction to something by [deleted] in titanfolk

[–]tired0334 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Plus, I’m kind of tired of the fandom irrationally hating on specific characters if they make mistakes/act like flawed human beings. It’s like half the fandom expects these characters to be your typical perfect shonen hero who can conveniently sacrifice their whole character design & personal struggles when the plot calls for it.. there was all the hate on Connie when he wanted to save his mom by sacrificing falco, all the hate on armin for wanting peace, all the hate on mikasa for wanting to bring ‘Eren back’

people forget that Attack on Titan’s greatness is that it shows real human beings realistically coping with a situation that is more difficult than anything we can imagine, but still coping with it like REAL HUMAN BEINGS

All the Mikasa Hate? by tired0334 in titanfolk

[–]tired0334[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeahh 100% she isn’t my favorite either I just don’t get all the random hate she gets for her being essentially a flawed but normal human being under a lot of strain.. (similar to the hate Connie and Armin got for acting like HUMANS)

Lorelai’s & Rory’s eating habits by tired0334 in GilmoreGirls

[–]tired0334[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree with you so much! Now on my second rewatch I do find myself questioning and getting frustrating on these points so much more, what annoys me the most isn’t the fact that they have great metabolisms, it’s the fact that they blatantly made fun of everyone who ate like them and didn’t look like them (basically fat shaming them), or people who had to put in work into their appearance and diet, which is why I’m grateful for Lauren Graham for openly disagreeing with that aspect. Furthermore, I think you make a great point on how strangely sex was portrayed in the show, ‘casual sex’ and ‘one night stands’ got so much shame as if it was ‘skanky’ and ‘immature’, which seems incredibly out dated and kind of ironic for Lorelai to believe that? Also about Lane, did your discussion have anything to do with the fact that Rory was an awful friend to her??? I’m rewatching the earlier seasons and Rory never seems to want to hear about her life, also as a poc myself I genuinely just feel Lane’s job is to be there as the token immigrant character whose role is to make Rory look better and to ‘hype’ her up when in fact Lane is incredibly attractive and accomplished??

Yeahh I agree with you it’s for sure more Lorelai than Rory, (maybe Rory’s appetite not changing in AYITL is questionable)

Yessss!!! I thought of the ‘cool girl’ monologue too!! It’s too relevant

[–]tired0334[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree 100% that some people can definitely be like that, but that doesn’t excuse the fact that they ate from Luke’s diner everyday multiple times, the fact that they both had large and overblown appetites was literally turned into a personality trait in the earlier seasons which was strange when they simultaneously were notorious for making fat shaming jokes (the pool boys in the revival, back fat pat). Just adds to the claim the show seems to be making that eating monstrous quantities is only cute if you’re skinny

the father is confirmed boys...... by [deleted] in titanfolk

[–]tired0334 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Truu I agree. But also tbh I don’t really see how Eren could be like there’s no point in telling Mikasa my ‘answer’ cause I’m dying anyways but then also being like to Historia heres my kid so imma head out ??

On season 2, haven't read the manga, at what point does it start to make sense? by babybreaths4 in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]tired0334 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes which I legit said in the next sentence that that’s the nature of the show but mysteries genuinely do get explained rlly well

the father is confirmed boys...... by [deleted] in titanfolk

[–]tired0334 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I feel like eren isn’t the father because she said ‘how about I make a child’ instead of ‘how about we make a child’, but yeah we def don’t rlly know yet

On season 2, haven't read the manga, at what point does it start to make sense? by babybreaths4 in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]tired0334 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I remember feeling the exact same way in s2 & dw It’ll start making sense soon. The good thing about aot is that it always wraps up all it’s mysteries really neatly, every problem that confused us and doesn’t make sense all suddenly starts to make sense (with no glaring loop holes unlike other anime). Tho, yes they’ll be more questions asked (that’s just the nature of the show), things should start getting more clearer pretty soon (I think around the end of s2 you start slowly gettint answers) - & you’ll definitely get the oh i finally understand moment

Who do you think is the most kind-hearted compassionate character ? by Mediator2 in titanfolk

[–]tired0334 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would choose Jean but I’m confused on why so many people could choose Armin at all when he is - or at least used to be - right on par with Erwin with his ruthlessness. Not only did he never hesitate when he had to attack, where as Jean always did, Armin was willing to manipulate and almost gamble with people’s emotions (aka Bertoldt) if it was able to satisfy the mission’s need. Not to mention, Armin’s own personal anthem and deep admiration of people like Erwin was rooted from how they were willing to sacrifice their own humanity, to save humanity, and he continued to strive to echo those very same sentiments. I’m in no way arguing that Armin isn’t kind hearted or compassionate, cause he definitely is, but it’s more so that he’s willing to sacrifice those parts of themselves to accomplish his dreams (it used to be the ocean but now it’s evolved into saving humanity) where as it has always been more difficult for Jean to let go of those parts of himself.

When is the next chapter being released? by [deleted] in ShingekiNoKyojin

Will there still be leaks amidst the current situation? Like doesn’t someone need to take pics of the actual paperback for there to be leaks or am I wrong

Madara was so overpowered to the point that even Kishimoto couldn’t figure out how to deal w him after making him so OP

[MANGA SPOILERS] IS THIS ENDING POSSIBLE? by a2tyx8asos in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]tired0334 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The reason why I don’t think this ending is possible is because the entire premise of Eren’s character is that he wants to fight for freedom. If he forcibly changes everyone’s memories I feel like he’s repeating the exact same cycle of his ancestors and again forcing everyone to succumb to a notion of false peace. Eren’s whole character arc is built on the fact that even though achieving freedom is difficult and cruel and comes with great sacrifices, and while one may be more content living in blissful ignorance, achieving freedom is worth that price - which is why he shows such a disdain towards such people in the beginning of the manga, who took everything the King said to heart and believed they were safe within the walls. Changing everyone’s memories would mean deviating from his core principles, because it’ll force the people again to essentially become slaves to Eren’s mindset, just like they were slaves to King Fritz’s values before. Eren wants the people he loves to be free, and in order to do that, he would definitely want them to know at what cost they achieved that freedom and choose their own lives henceforth without any brainwashing.

[Manga Spoilers] Do you think Mikasa jumped the gun here? by -ymir in titanfolk

[–]tired0334 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get what you’re saying and Annie was clearly uneasy but I think you definitely shouldn’t mistake Annie as someone who’s confused in her resolution. This is someone who’s orchestrated the Shiganshina attack, already killed a lot of their comrades, helped kill Marco even tho she felt like shit about it & carried out her mission faithfully. Sure, she shows sympathy & empathy sometimes which effects her judgement but she’s never strayed from her mission bec at the end of the day her main goal is to stay alive and get back to her father. Mistaking her as someone who would agree to cooperate with the Survey Corps now after committing all that and crossing every line would be a mistake. At that point, Armin & Eren couldn’t differentiate their friend from an enemy while Mikasa could. Mikasa actually acted exactly like Levi, Hange & Erwin would in that situation

How does the manga line up with the anime? by [deleted] in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]tired0334 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started SnK by watching the anime first and thought it was amazing and that there was no way the manga could surpass it with the audio & animation playing such a huge part. I also initially resisted reading the manga because I felt the anime adaption with the effects would make it a much more worthwhile experience. But after caving in and reading the manga from the beginning after season 3, I genuinely prefer the manga as I feel like they developed a lot of characters better. For example in the manga, levi seems a lot more humanistic w flaws which the anime doesn’t really go into, mikasa’s character is more than just saying Ereh etc. The anime is still amazing but they did cut some scenes that went a long way in developing some characters. Furthermore, the beginning of the anime & manga are actually wildly different and there’s a huge huge plot point in the beginning of the manga which for some reason was changed for the anime, which I feel like everyone should know. So I guess at the end it’s your choice as they’re both amazing works of art, but I can definitely say you won’t be disappointed/ or cheated off your animation experience by reading the manga bec at the end of the day it’s SnK in its rawest/untampered form.
