I feel like my answer of cat to the end question may have been quite obvious.

I don’t know if anyone has already mentioned this specific parallel, but I wanted to bring it up just in case. The brief flash of Hange remembering Interior MP captain Sannes hit me hard. Back in season 3 he was the face of a system he genuinely thought protected the people inside the Walls—exactly the role Hange finds herself holding now. When the Scouts overthrew that regime, Sannes warned her that one day she’d be on the other side of the uprising. Seeing that prophecy haunting her here, with Hange forced to defend a government for “the greater good,” is such a brilliant bit of symmetry. It makes the moral whiplash of this episode even more powerful!

2025-05-21 00:12:21 +0000 UTCNoticing how a lot of people on Paradis still say “for humanity,.” Not “for Eldians” or “for Paradis,” but “humanity. It’s as if the Eldians on Paradis are humanity and everyone outside the walls are monsters. It’s interesting how the world for them changed but the thinking didn’t, and now the phrasing lends itself to the supremacist thinking that likely was prevalent during the Eldian empire that the Marleyans now display.

2025-05-13 16:19:36 +0000 UTCI feel like Gabi's point of view is more complicated than just hating the islanders. During the scene where Gabi is yelling about the things the ancient Eldians do, some people always say "but you're descended from them as well". The thing is, Gabi KNOWS she's an Eldian and descended from the same people that the 'island devils' are. she hates that about herself, and thinks she has to make up for it by serving Marley. it's similar to the religious concept of original sin, thinking that people are born evil and sinful due to the sins of their ancestors, and to be good, someone needs to devote their life to making up for their birth sin. Gabi has like an extreme, racially-based concept of that. And you're right, this is the first time she's really been confronted about it in a way that really made her think. Looking forward to your reaction to how her character develops from here!

2025-05-13 04:47:37 +0000 UTCLove that you recognized both Kaya and Louise on first sight essentially, most miss it, but it is great when a reactor doesn't even think about Kaya only for the revelation at the end to hit them like a ton of bricks. Love the discussions, the analysis of the episodes, my favorite parts of the reactions, especially from reactors that really analyze the details of plot and realize there is a thematic and congruential reasons for things that go over others heads. "The girl she thinks is a monster isn't a monster...." The thing is, we sadly remember, Sasha is a monster for Gaby anyway, she killed the two guards friends who were trying to protect Gaby and send her away from the chaos. And the attack on Liberio destroyed Gaby's fantasy and delusional hopes that she used to twist logic to justify her own warped worldview and self-hatred for her own ethnicity, heritage and "culture." Then Isayama "rubs salt in the wounds" alright, reminding us how Sasha would not leave the kids behind, she would help them, save them, take them in their time of need at the cost of her own life, like we saw in that episode where she saves Kaya., who aspires to be just like her big adopted sister. It is inspirational and heart-warming, and heart-breaking now that Sasha is no longer here. Her death in the show is now serving a real purpose, it was not for the purpose of shock or crude manipulation of the audience's emotions. Think back to Reiner's trauma and duality, and his episode earlier in this fourth season, then think back in season one when Annie asks Armin, "Armin, Do I really look like such a good person to you?" He replies, "A good person? Well... I don't really like that term.. because to me it just seems to mean someone who's good for you... And I don't think there's any one person who's good to everyone... So if you don't help me then to me you're a bad person, right?" Then remember Armin's quotes about the only people who will bring about real change are those who are willing to give up what matters most, ( images of scouts and Pixis show) in particular those who are capable of giving up their own humanity when forced to faced to rise against monsters, while an image of Erwin shows, and we know that was Erwin's theme and his guilt. Armin, "Those who can't abandon anything.... can't change anything !!!" Isayama pretty much drove it home that everyone is a monster to someone else, even if they are kind and essentially good. Think back to season 3 when Armin is guilty of killing the woman who hesitated killing Jean, likely because she was a good person too. Then Mikasa has those headaches and flashbacks in this episode without "romanticizing" what Eren did for her, even if Eren saved her and became her hero and gave her purpose in life, and showed her kindness and love and that life was still worth living after what had just happened. The dichotomy of character is real, thus sayeth Isayama. That was a powerful emotional ending of the episode, one of the best of the show, and it was earned in the ways all the details of plot and character were tied together.
