[Uncut] Attack on Titan - 4x27 Retrospective Group Reaction

Connie is goated. Shadis and Magath are goat bros. Mikasa is a murderously goat-tastic. Hell, FLOCK is goated!! What a packed episode I can say MAPPA really went all out here. What did you think?

[Uncut] Attack on Titan - 4x27 Retrospective Group Reaction

Comments

mikasa was wrong for pulling the thunder spears on those 2 guys, one already beheaded lol. that was straight unnecessary

Ben

My whole thing is, both sides are talking about genocide. Willy (and Eren) had the world whipped in a frenzy. The world is STILL planning to come to Paradis and kill them all because Willy declared war. Eren wants to kill them before they can kill his people. Both ends are talking about genocide, so why should Eren be "the bad guy" when both solutions are the same?

iJashin

I donโ€™t care about genocide. Kill them all, Ereh. Do it.

Arsalan

Truth be told, the writing is on the wall at this point. Save the money, G.

HIM

Tell me about it. It will probably only be getting worse soon. Thanks Johnny.

Hizuru are part of the world and they aren't foaming so yea idk about me being wrong

Bob

Whole world? Then who tf are the Hizuru? If you cant see how obviously the eldians are supposed to be germans/nazi then idk man you must be blind. Random Asian ally across the world that they barely knew? Again the eldians are so obviously germans but you just refuse to see it even when the author's repugnant views point towards that being so

Bob

This man Bob really said not all nations are foaming at the mouth to kill the eldians lmao. WRONG. You're forgetting the world LITERALLY declared war on Eldia right before Eren launched his attack on Marley. Sure, in reality not everyone would be on board with that plan. But they wouldn't be able to stop the complete destruction of paradise. It was an us or them scenario and the Marleyans we're the one that brought it upon themselves.

I'm saying that in AOT the Eldians are not simply the embodiment of Nazis because clearly, they ended up in the camps. They've been on both sides, and I'm not being disingenuous. Yes, the story has us sympathize with them at first but by the end or at least by S4, you're supposed to see all sides of it. Lastly, I'm not saying that he has no choice, I'm saying the choice he's made is the most logical. You keep talking about the colossal titans as if they're some small tactical unit. You nor I know how the Rumbling fully works, all we know is that he can control a generalized number and make them stop or go, and how do you think he will reach military base further away...you think the titans just gonna tip toe over the cities as to not cause any damage....doubtful

Shenahatsu Kyjiin

Theres always a choice no matter how big the army it needs supplies and logistics. Honestly the bigger the force the easier it would be for eren to laucnch shock attacks on their supplies with his titans and a bunch of top tier fighters.

Bob

You're being disingenuous then if there isnt a very fuckming clear side that they try to have you sympathize with. First whole season was them being attacked by these evil creatures. We were set out the gate to sympathize

Bob

Im asking you if the Authors pro imperial-japanese and nazi sympathetic views would influence his work and writing in a way where he would make the Fascist blone hair bllue eyed, Special (master Race) more sympathetic. Eldians are very fucking similar to the Nazis/Germany of 30s/40s. You are being disingenuous if you think that just because the eldians dont have camps they arent similar to nazis.

Bob

I don't think the story tells you to sympathize with either over the other. from what I've read and watched, you are supposed to understand that everyone has their reasons for their actions. That's what I want people to do, then you line those reasons up, and see which one has the soundest logic and reasoning.

Shenahatsu Kyjiin

Are you using influence from Real life as full context for a story???... Yes it's clearly influenced by that, but isn't 1 for 1 the same thing. Nazi's were and are bad, Current time Eldians are not Nazi's my guy....where nazi's put in the concentration camps...no, this isn't the same thing bro

Shenahatsu Kyjiin

The way the eldians are portrayed so sympathetic. The whole world against them so in response they must commit genocide. The genocide is fine, and they didnt do anything wrong. The authors views are leaking so much onto the work its disturbing. Why not response to the authors views? Do you not think his views influence his work and bleed onto it?

Bob

The story has flat out told us that the other nations hate eldians more than Marley...and Marley has a pretty strong hate for them. You keep saying other ways, and I'm telling you that there are no ways in which you garner peace using the very thing that the world is trying to genocide you for. The problem is, Eldia doesn't have enough might to just fight normally, they need the rumbling to some degree, at bare minimum they have to soft rumble to even have a chance...and you're right there is no point in debating you because you sway towards hope, which is cool n all, but isn't the most rational decision.

Shenahatsu Kyjiin

Most not all, Pyscho shit but nwhat else can you expect from fascists

Bob

You pick the fact that eldians are in a position of defense whle germany as attackuing as the one reason it isnt similar at all?

Bob

Most of the world so he wilkl genocide. No comment on the freak authors views?? you think those dont influence his work at all? ITs so fucking obvious eldians are germans, blone hair blue eyes. so many damn similarities but keep pretending like its not the same

Bob

Not even similar, Nazi/Germany wanted to TAKE, their actions spawn from greed and want for something that they don't need or have a right to. Eren's actions are a reaction, a defense. You can argue morality all day long but it won't change the facts of the situation, most of the world hates and fears Eldians, soft rumble or full rumble won't bring an end to the world fear and hatred(it bolsters it)...it just stops their genocide for some years until they try it again

Shenahatsu Kyjiin

Not all the nations are foaming at the mouth to kill them tho like you are presenting. So by saying Justification is morality based and then saying you arent gonna argue morality you just say theres no point arguing with you? Eren could do it other ways, Also the author is a war crime denying freak, its pretty obvious these nations are being portrayed in a better light whereas in real life the truth was much more sinister.

Bob

No you need to go back and READ...I've literally said the point is to Understand, JUSTIFICATION is MORALITY based, morals differ from person to person, I AM NOT going to argue morality. I've never argued us against the world, my point is...I REPEAT my POINT IS, to understand why he's doing it. The partial rumble only buys them years, it doesn't stop the will of the nations.

Shenahatsu Kyjiin

That mentality of we will be free and us against the world is straight up out of nazi germany

Bob

you're justifying genocide. Eren has all the titans he doesnt need to hold any outposts. Just launch attacks on them to stop the supply.

Bob

You are the one saying justification, I have never tried to justify genocide, justice requires a moral code, morality is subjective, 0 point in debating that. The line genocide is wrong is a weak counter to the situation...we know it's morally wrong. The issue is that it's happening, not hypothetical the world is gathering in an attempt to do so....That's like telling the FBI to ignore a group of terrorists who they know are gathering to do something heinous. I guess in your mind the FBI should wait until the crime starts then act right?...ok buddy

Shenahatsu Kyjiin

Eldia doesn't have the numbers or power to attack and stop all military post before they gather and eradicate eldians....the only thing capable of that is the Rumbling.

Shenahatsu Kyjiin

No the few was to make an example of Marley, the Global Alliance hasn't even gathered my guy. Why does everyone keep harping on the Historia bit as if she's the soul reason for Eren's actions, she put one part of a whole people..."will we be free" it's about the Eldian people not just Historia or just his friends. The point still remains that even if they did a partial rumble of any sort it only perpetuates the fear of eldians. Nothing you've said proves my statement wrong.

Shenahatsu Kyjiin

And by contrast, the world not forgiving current Eldia being seen as the justification for a genocide is *just as flimsy* of an argument. The whole memed line (and I really don't know why) explains the mentality of the rebels pretty fucking clearly--genocide is wrong. They can't control what the rest of the world does, but they *can* potentially change or kill Eren. There's a huge difference between a hypothetical future genocide, and a currently happening one. Genocide. Is. Wrong.

PercussionFellow

Good luck man. It's gonna be rough dodging manga spoilers.

Johnny Blue

regardless an army doesnt move or operate off of poor logistics and supply lines. Eren doesnt have to use the rumbling to attack military outposts

Bob

what are you saying? all it requires is probably a dozen colossals to smash the alliance. Thats why Armin said, all he needed was the walls of Shiganshina for an attack that will wipe out the global alliance. If Eren chooses to, he can easily control a couple of colossals to stomp it out. Or hell, he can choose to unlock them but not even march them. A threat against the world just like what nuclear weapons are in our world. the point is, he chose to sacrifice the world because he didnt want to sacrifice Historia and continue the bloodline by eating royal family members.

Danny

That's not true tho, The rumbling isn't a precision-based attack it's literally large Titans stomping whatever it is in their path. Going by the Anime (tho I have read the manga) we've heard or seen nothing that hints at The rumbling being able to only target small concise places, the smallest scale we've heard was just taking out Marley. This still matters little because again the point is, the Rumbling at any capacity only increases the already, apparently genoicide worthy fear of Eldians. The world Fears them so heavily that they agreed to wipe them out BEFORE the Rumbling ever happened so what do you think they'll think of them afterwards...The whole OTHER plan is based on fear, that the world will fear them enough to back off for a while, but peace through fear will just leave them to hate the Eldians more, it's not a good plan at all

Shenahatsu Kyjiin

Its the fact that they probably know that you could just attack key military outposts and destroy the supply lines and logistics of everyone else instead of genocide.

Bob

A counterargument for Suraj: Doesn't make a difference if one genocide is more likely or not. The points should be fair, which is genocide is wrong no matter the percentage of success. the point is to UNDERSTAND the WHY, Eren is doing it BECAUSE the world is never gonna stop trying to erase them. Yes, Eren's means to achieving it is stronger but is at the end of the day a reaction to what the WORLD is trying to do. And doing a partial rumble will only increase the fear of Eldians...their is no way that the World WILL EVER stop fearing what the Eldians CAN do...That's the core issue, the world is unwilling to give Eldians a chance (which makes sense given past Eldian trangressions) but that doesn't justify their hate towards modern Eldians nor the future Eldians who again will always be hated and pursued for simply existing. I really wish you guys had someone who took a more pragmatic view of the situation vs just basing everything on morality because that's not the deeper debate here.

Shenahatsu Kyjiin

100% accuracy. Did you see how fast Floch was moving?!? That may have been the toughest shot she's had to hit thus far.

Kamina 1

Literally this close to putting in my order for the last two volumes. Only thing stopping me is the possibility of watching Attack on Titan on the big screen with fresh eyes ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Kamina 1

Bro, i kinda feel that they gonna go for an AOE, or a integrated one, witch would be hellaofenomenal. I dont want to get my hopes up, but at the same time im hyped. Oh god, i never learn ๐Ÿฅด

Meia-noite

GABI DONT MISS ๐Ÿ˜ค

Max

@Marketa there is a music video for the Code Geass opening. The song is called Colors by Flow

Storm King

So Falco is more falcon-like because of the Beast Titan wine, right?

supakame

Been refreshing for a little while expecting this to go up ๐Ÿ˜† hell of an episode

Steve Rivera

I didn't care for Mikasa this episode too much. I was more interested in Magath, Shadis, Gabi, and Floch. It's wild how good they are despite just being regular people. This episode really hammers home there isn't a right or wrong side, it's just whichever side you are willing to fight for.
