Elias_Maluco posted:Ok but if the titans forming the wall were voluntary, why was the priest so desperate and urgent about covering the exposed one from sunlight? It seemed he was afraid it would wake up. Perhaps the people who controlled the giants to form the wall lost control/died at some point, such that the giants now embedded in the wall are now as aggressive as the others.

He should have stuck with his original ending. Now I'm worried that the story will take a generic turn and lose some of its quality in the end.

Factory Factory posted:There are... In the walls! I'm betting that the Colassals are too big to move on their own, too. Bert was never shown taking a step or turning fully, just braced kicks and swatting. When movement became necessary, he ollie'd outtie. And despite Titans being so un-dense, Bert still left giant footprints where he was standing. That's an interesting thought. Maybe the colossal titans are at the upper physical limit of titan size. Was Ape Titan much smaller than a colossal titan?

Nelson Mandingo posted:In chapter 70, Marlo is excited and talking about how they're going to beat the titans and "The titans are like paper before the might of that spear." and in chapter 72 when everyone is freaking out about the meat one of the new recruits says to another "You're no good with the spear. It's not like you'll be doing anything." They probably found a way to fire gas-powered spears made from his titan flesh that can pierce their necks.

Liquid Dinosaur posted:I'm confused, how is the Armored Titan still active and able to roar? Reiner got his loving head blown off. Did "Zeke" assume direct control of his titan, which now lacks a pilot since Reiner is (I assume?!?!?!?) very much dead? Is the implication supposed to be that it can still roar via remote control, but it's probably out of the picture for good in terms of being able to move and fight? It looks as though his brainstem is still intact. That might allow the titan to still have very, very basic function if you stretch your imagination a little bit.

PerniciousKnid posted:I think some people have spent too much time on the Netflix and the Twittervine, and no longer have the attention span for reading manga. Now I made myself sad. You can't really evaluate the pacing of a work while it's being published. It has to be looked at after it's completed to see how each part plays out relative to the entirety of the story.

Sub Harrison posted:I don't totally mind Armin living after sacrificing himself for Eren, cause it's a nice throwback to the first chapters when we thought Eren was dead. Also Erwin's death for humanity was a fitting end to his character's arc. Armin's was a little gay. It's dumb because there isn't any reason at all why he should be alive. Even when considering in-universe rules, he was totally cooked and dead.

Ytlaya posted:I'm not sure how fast being burnt all over kills you. I know that you definitely die from it, of course, but I don't know if it's the sort of thing that would cause you to die in just a few minutes (which is the amount of time between Armin getting cooked and the present). Maybe it's possible he could still technically be alive, even if he's totally immobile and in the process of dying. The problem is that he wasn't just superficially burnt all over, he was completely roasted in superheated steam inside and out, stripping all of his skin off. If his organs weren't boiled in their own fluids, his lungs would have been completely scorched and he would suffocate in seconds.

Kassad posted:I don't think Isayama is a fascist, but it seems pretty clear to me that most of the characters in the military are hardcore militarists and/or fascists (blurry boundaries between the two...). It doesn't matter that they're motivated by the existential threat of the titans. Out of curiosity, why do you think the blatant existential threat is irrelevant? All forms of government have advantages and disadvantages, and their militarist views are possibly adaptive in this specific scenario. The reason why fascism is so frowned upon is that it is incompatible with the value systems that most of us hold. That doesn't mean it's a completely ineffective method of governance. I think the context is definitely important here. It's not like anyone is going to ask the characters, "Would you support democracy if we weren't regularly being eaten alive by giants?"

Wouldn't it make sense for the manga to be mostly over before we start drawing conclusions about the specifics of its political stances? Right now it could still go a lot of ways.

Wait, wasn't it mentioned that the Titans are really, really light for their size? That would probably make them ineffective for a kinetic bombardment.

comedyblissoption posted:Do you think bertholdt was partly chosen as the colossal titan because your own physical features determine the power of the transformation and he was tall? If so, armin is gonna be a tiny colossal titan. Maybe it's the other way around. The user takes on some characteristics of their titan.
