MJeff posted:I kinda love how characters keep saying "I'm just like you, Reiner." as shorthand for "Oh boy, do I loving suck or what?" Haha yeah, literally every character is like "I'm a piece of poo poo now, just like you" or "I had to stop myself from killing you every day you rear end in a top hat" or "how will you ever forgive yourself for being a raging shitstain?" whil Reiner just stares at the floor

It was so long to go without hearing Eren's inner voice, but I liked the through line that Eren is unwilling to sacrifice the people of Paradis for the rest of the world because the rest of the world isn't the paradise he imagined but just another kind of fascist and evil, and that the people of the world know they didn't make a world worth the leap of faith to save.

Apparently Crunchyroll did some anime awards and Attack on Titan won a bunch of stuff including Best Drama Best Main Character (Eren) Best Japanese VA (Yuki Kaji as Eren) Best Opening (The Rumbling) Best Song (The Rumbling) Best Score

That’s the current claim. I now believe they will continue splitting into infinitesimally smaller parts as we approach the end, never quite reaching it.

Queering Wheel posted:They already know that kids are going to die when an event like the rumbling happens. They don't care. There's knowing and there's experiencing. Some people still don't care, but being reminded of the personal cost sometimes shakes people out of a theoretical understanding to actually confront what the consequences would be of the actions they endorse. You see it with Jean and Reiner in the context of the show. They'll both talk about horrible things being necessary, but when they actually see the consequences, Jean backs down and Reiner breaks down. (Meanwhile, Armin keeps moving forward. It's a fun thing about Jean and Armin's friendship that Jean is the cynic... but he does the right thing in the clutch, even hesitating when people have guns aimed at his head because he doesn't want to hurt people. Meanwhile, Armin is the nice guy always talking about diplomacy, but he'll set off really morally compromised plans without blinking, even if he feels guilty later. They understand each other in a way most people in the cast don't.)

It definitely feels like an intentional choice to have the children die first in the rumbling to immediately put the breaks on people who spent the last year going "I can't wait to see the rumbling, it is going to be so awesome."

I mean, it does inspire awe. The squished children, the burned bodies, the suicide? (Loved that shot) It's a full on vision of a living hell, and that inspires fear and a terrible wonder. It's just not the kind of awesome that's fun.

It's a television show. Nobody is claiming it would be awesome if it were to happen in real life. We want to see something crazy happen on tv.

Also the intentional choice to have Ramzi and Halil die first was made like, uh, three years ago? Also, they didn't die first, the allied fleet did. Or if you wanna be a real pedant, people on Paradis that got crushed by falling rubble.

Steve Yun posted:I wonder if God Emperor of Dune had similar controversies when it came out Dune and its sequels are still subject to endless debate, especially as new folks get into them on account of the new movies. But generally the discourse has settled on "you really should not be idolizing these characters." I've read that Dune Messiah was controversial (albeit in a smaller circle than this anime) upon its initial release, since it decides to show its hand and drops the pretense of Paul being a Good Guy.

I mean that design was clearly chosen for a reason. In real life that would be a just a coincidence but in a story where we already know the Author likes to foreshadow things?

christmas boots posted:I mean that design was clearly chosen for a reason. In real life that would be a just a coincidence but in a story where we already know the Author likes to foreshadow things? Here's the medal in the manga.  So they definitely made it more detailed in the anime. The season 3 finale, "The Other Side of the Wall" aired in July 2019. The first chapter with the Founding Titan, "Island Devils", was released in November 2019. So WIT might have gotten a heads-up about the Founding Titan's design, I don't think that's unprecedented at all. It may also just be a coincidence. Given the design of the Founding Titan is very clearly a puppet on strings, the theme of Eren being dragged forward by a fate he can't change, and that it all started when he kissed Historia's hand, I don't think it's crazy to say that the design was purposeful. The medal being a physical version of the metaphorical strings that are about to be tied to Eren doesn't sound all that out there to me.

I'd say the difference between the manga and the anime is large enough to say it's intentionally evocative of Eren's Founding Titan form.

Visually it's just a little too close and thematically, it just fits together a little too well for me to think it's a coincidence. I'd say WIT somehow knew what the Founding Titan was gonna look like, or Isayama got the idea for it and just passed them an updated drawing for Historia's little cape thing without saying exactly what the significance was. Like, it's literally Eren looking at the exact shape of the strings that are about to ensnare him. It's just a little too fitting to not be on purpose.
