Fun fact, the creator, Hajime Isayama, said that during this part of the story, Reiner became his favourite character

Anonymous

Have you noticed how many blondes there are? Zeke, Reiner, Falco, Colt, Annie, Armin, Erwin, Historia etc.

Hsn.F

I can tell you this. If reiner became one of your favorite from this episode alone, then you will love him even more in later episodes.

sand_fl

Reiner is and always be my number one

botchie

i mean if u really think about it, Marleyans/the rest of the world were mistreated aswell. When the Eldians ruled the whole world, titans roamed and killed people of all nations. Eldians took advantage of their titan powers to conquer and destroy. So if you were looking at it thru Marleyan shoes, they truly have no choice but to use/control Eldians. Although it being incredibly cruel to Eldians, you gotta think about it overall. This is why this show is truly amazing. Just when you think you have a solid antagonist(s) of the story, you gotta think about why they do what they do.

bro they need to start double uploading lool

100% agreed. this show does an amazing job at making you realize that neither side is completely good or evil.

How could they possibly double upload when they talk so much around each episode 😂 I'd almost rather they slow down. Don't want it to end yet!

Lullabymeyourstory

It's truly brilliant how the scene with reiner and his family is impactful. Him talking about eldians on paradise with the same monotone and degrading tone that marley brainwashed into them but all that while actually refering to casual and definitely not "demon-like" actions like "someone ate a potato during service" and stuffs. Like you can really feel how f*cked up he is and how his split personnality is showing/killing him more and more. And how reality is far from what they are forced into believing. Amazingly done

Nagisa

One thing that should probably be pointed out is the development of technologies in the rest of the world. The Paradis Island has very limited research and development in technology ever since the Great Titan War and has a 100 years disparities in terms of Science and Technology. 100 years of technical gap might not sound as bad as you first thought, but Paradis Island does not have photograph, not even vehicle. The transportation within the walls are still horses. While the rest of the world has navy forces and air-forces. (The Great Titan War took place at time when technologies are not advanced). A minor correction from the discussion is that the rest of the world aside Marley, fears Eldians not because, or not just because Eldians are used in wars. But, most essentially, they suffered from the damages caused by Titans before the Great Titan War as well as Marley.

Harrison Allen

If this episode has them crying I can’t wait for 4 x 3. So many feels.

ajoenpolvo

the next episode is so good, can't wait

Brooooooooooooo Shut the fuck up!

Glory.1K__

Spoilers in the comments smh

ODIS

I don't think there's a reason to think that Reiner's mom has the same views as Reiner. After all, she was born into the same reality as Gabi, and brainwashed just like Gabi is. She has never interacted with Paradis Eldians, and has no other opinion except the one she was fed since a young age. I think she closed the windows because Reiner was speaking heresy in her opinion.

sand_fl

Next episode is one of my favourite from the whole show. Sad they cut a bunch of panels from the manga though.

ODIS
>>70115697

But how do we know that that is actually what happened, and not simply what Marleyans have said in order to enslave Eldians and have them be compliant with their current situation? Countries in our world twist facts all the time in order to manipulate and brainwash the masses. Hitler did it about the Jews, etc. Happens all the time.

Nick

Honestly you two are the most emotionally intelligent reactors of this show, can’t wait for the future episodes

Dake Weng

Just two episodes into s4 and you guys have some of the most sympathetic and sophisticated views on Reiner and Gabby's psychological states. They are highlights of this part of season 4 for me and are a big reason why this show has continued to evolve, from action-packed survival fantasy to clandestine mystery to complex treatise on social injustice and war.

Gurido

I hope the girls can see this comment. There is a scene from manga that should belong to this episode but wasn't included, and I think it is the most important scene for understanding Gabi. She told Reiner that she wants to inherit his titan because she knows he is suffering. She is his blood relative, there's a high chance she will also inherit his memories, so she needed to get the armor titan so Reiner's memories can live on, and "even those things you find too painful to tell other people... The two of us could figure them out together." She wasn't only doing this for honor, she's also doing this because she cared deeply for Reiner and it is her way of keeping him alive.

As always. I think the person above deleted their comment though. Good on them.

Brandon Wright

I think the dinner scene with Reiner might be misinterpreted by many. Remember Reiner has Dissociative Identity Disorder. So my interpretation of the scene is that he's stating things that he convinced himself makes the Paradis people bad. Because in reality the scouts weren't bad people but he has to hold on to every small thing they ever did to justify his mission. And he knows they aren't evil which is why he developed a split personality in order to deal with that conflict within himself. Again, that's just my interpretation but I also don't think he was lying or being sarcastic in that scene.

>>70119530

Holy hell what a line to leave out. This would have made me sympathize waaay more with her character.

Mohammed Al Jamal
>>70121900

Yeah I'm with you, Reiner was convincing himself all along that they are devils, but all that he could come up with are the stuff he said at the dinner table. Gabi was confused and replied "aren't they bad people?". He knows they are good people, but the disorder and the brainwashing are messing him up.

enchantertim

I just want to say I love your reactions. I've been following your AoT reactions from YouTube since the first episode. But since you started season 4 I couldn't wait anymore and just become a patron. It's great to watch people's reactions who are REALLY invested in the show and theorizing and analyzing each episode. And I must say you really did a great job theorizing and figuring out stuff. Not to mention you really get the characters and feel for them. Looking forward to future episodes. Btw Reiner is my fav and as I've heard also the author's

lasagnaman

love your reactions and discussions as always! The phrase both of you're looking for is "cannon fodder" I think (the eldians in the front lines).

lasagnaman
>>70121900

I think there are multiple ways to interpret it and I think that's ok.

Albertan Motorcyclist
>>70115697

We don't know to what extent eldians crimes are but there are several clues that tell us they are real to some degree. For one, Hange reveals in season 3 that the entire world hates eldians because they fear the return of the eldian empire. If evey nation on earth is scared of the eldian empire, it seems unlikely its some fabricated hoax. Also consider what king fritz said

vera

oh man ya'll are gonna love this season

Jacob
>>70115697

Hmm. I don't know about that. Why would they need to control the Eldians, and if they did, why would they need to be cruel about it? It's only because of Marleyan science that anyone who isn't one of the nine can become a titan. Even if Eldian rebel did get some serum, mindless titans aren't even close to a match for the shifters, most of which Marley still has (and they had more before the Warriors invaded Paradis). Also, using them is very different from controlling them. If everything the government of Marley says is true, how does "When the Eldians ruled the whole world, titans roamed and killed people of all nations. so we should send them to roam and kill people of all other nations. Eldians took advantage of their titan powers to conquer and destroy, therefore we should take advantage of their titan powers to conquer and destroy" make sense?

Rick Turpentine

And now you see why despite knowing that the people on the island aren't actually devils, the warriors had no choice but to continue the mission. Had they betrayed Marley or helped Paradis their families would have been punished.

MGU
>>70119530

Note that manga is read from right to left, just if you are not familiar with it

Rick Turpentine
>>70115697

What do you even mean by how does it make sense? It's doesn't have to make sense. They feel like they were treated poorly in the past so they decided to treat eldians poorly in the present. Does that make sense? Maybe yes maybe no but the whole point is that the cycle of hatred will only continue forever if one side doesn't choose to forgive the other side. Humans don't always operate based on what makes sense, they are flawed and often operate on emotion rather than logic.

Reiner is a big bro to the kids. He's to them what Hannes was to us.

Johnny O
>>70126177

great... now im crying because i never related him to hannes before LOLOL

Troy

Albertan Motorcyclist
>>70115697

What? What makes you think marleyans invented dumb titans? From the description of eldian history we know titans were around eating people, there’s also plenty of art in the show that depicts eldian history where pure titans are attacking the cities of other people. Marleyans have nothing to do with the injection technology. We know this for absolute fact because the reiss family has injections on paradise, and they arrived on paradise before Marley was in control. Obviously the shot doesn’t come from Marley, meaning it either comes from before eldia before marleyans won the war or it means the reiss knew how to make the needles, either way that indicates Marley has nothing to do with discovering how to make someone who isn’t one of the nine into titans

Albertan Motorcyclist
>>70115697

I’m not sure why you @ me? I’m a a devils advocate for Marley, I think the world hating eldians makes fairly logical sense even if it’s morally wrong

MGU

Lol let them watch the show bruh

MGU

Patience is key!!!

Hannah Belle

Ah yes. Reiner. My favorite character in the entire series. Same girls. This part of the story made me understand him so much more.

Melkor

You forgot to talk about the fact that they mentioned a titan called the War hammer titan in this episode. You forgot to talk about it. They also gave some info on a family called the Tybur family which you forgot to discuss. Maybe you do next episode?

MishkaTho

Reiner is also Isayama’s favourite Huhu.

Melkor
>>70127927

Can you please shut the fuck up and delete your comment why are you even doing this? Like literally what is the point for you to write that I’m honestly wondering?

Melkor
>>70127927

So I’ll ask again kindly could you please delete your comment?

Melkor

Lm reactions hopefully you see my comment early there is a comment from someone called Troy Carlson I’d like you to delete his comment without reading what he says in it. I asked him to delete his comment under so once you find my comment you should have no problem locating his above.

Anonymous
>>70130639

Someone else mentioned it before with the name of the character and everything. They probably got spoiled, tbh.

Melkor
>>70130639

Or the other person deleted their comment and Lm haven’t read the comments yet.

Goatchis

Michigan sweatshirt, nice!

Dan Mena
>>70127927

Many secondary comments and no likes they won’t read this comment

amir.cricket

i hope u been told episode 4 have after credit scene

Chris V

Honestly the best character analysts!

Yic17
>>70130639

Aw man hope L&M haven't read the comment and got spoiled. =(

sand_fl
>>70130639

I can't find the comment so I hope they deleted it and didn't get spoiled. I don't know about what it was, but still... it would be a shame to get spoiled when you got to s4

Melkor
>>70130639

It’s definitely deleted I can’t find it either anymore

AlanRedrew

I love the "do you know if the birds mean something"? No spoilers, but don't lose that.

Ben Morales

About Falco, one of the things that caught my attention at this point was the opening scene on episode 1, wich threw me on a loop and i had to rewatch the first episode a couple of time to understand what was going on.

Sam
>>70130639

What was it? Any chance you could reference it in a very non-spoilery way?

Thomas

If you cry like that for this episode I can imagine the next

Dan Mena
>>70146631

And the next and next and the next and the next and the next and next next next

Rich

That was an amazing reaction

Jay Craig

Yeah, the kids are all sweet, not their fault that the adults in their lives brainwashed them from birth. The whole point of the beginning of this season is to show you that there are innocents everuywhere

ODIS
>>70162373

Lol why are you here? It seems like you have nothing in common with LM.

Sam Kim

I’m so excited for their next reaction season 4 episode 3. It is one of my favorite reactions and I am so looking forward to lm react on Friday. Pray to ymir we will see their reaction on time on Friday

ML9

Shoutouts to the fly this reaction

MGU

Just in case you didn’t know and are recording 4x3 and 4x4, there is an end credits scene in 4x4 after the ending, so keep that in mind

Mitchell Hall
>>70162373

leave, you obviously can't read or show empathy. I'm sure they appreciate the free $10 tho

Paris Hardy
>>70191916

I love that the biggest gift of this show/story is Knowledge & Context. It makes your understanding & love for the characters & their circumstances that much stronger.

Tam
>>70130639

Bit strange that you'd pay to see their genuine reaction, then end up spoiling it

Rich

Can't wait for 4x03, I loved the opening showcases of Marley's Titans (finally!), and my jaw dropped at the crazy revelations of Reiner's backstory. They really ramped the emotion up gradually from 4x01 to 4x02 to 4x03.

Mati D.

4x3 is one of my favorties, can't wait, please please please please tell me it's today

Christian Medeiros

I dont think anyone has mentioned it yet but this episode cuts out a really big info drop from the manga about the Ackermanns. When Zeke is talking to Colt and Magath, he mentions that they are byproduct of Titan science. --- https://cdn.readsnk.com/file/mangap/5/10093000/19.jpg --- this is the page if you want to see the drawings, its slotted right before seeing Reiner dreaming of Mikasa shooting him out of the titan in S3 P2.

DRnotz

fantastic discussion afterwards! <3

mapo picker

I remember you guys talking in season 3 abour Reiner and it literally made me think of this episode. Literally couldn't wait for you to see it. Honestly i love your reactions so much. You are very connected with the characters and try to understand them so you share genuine feelings together with them.
