omg I need part 2 asap

To be clear, they couldn't split the syringe because even if they did, they only have Bertholdt for them to eat, so one of them would just be a dumb titan forever

Molly being Hange for Halloween is a MUST!

10:22 has to be one of the best reactions to this scene ever LOL "im gonna have a temper tantrum...WHAT THE FUCK!?"

I know I've been harsh on the show but I should be clear that most of my gripes are with the source material, which is ultimately the manga, and perhaps the show's biggest sin is being too faithful. That said, this is the moment I really first felt that I probably had fallen off the wagon and was finishing more to see it through than anything else. I really think Isayama should have had the courage to truly follow through with having killed both Erwin and Armin. In a property that has been so blasé about killing off minor and recurring characters--gleefully so, even--we come to the first real opportunity to reckon with the sudden deaths of not one but two main players. This, ultimately, is where the back third of Attack on Titan begins to unravel. In his quest to make a property that was always three steps ahead of the audience, always trying to outsmart you, always trying to be "more morally complex" or whatever, it started to miss the forest of the trees. It added so many layers--purely for the sake of adding layers--that it started to collapse under its own bloated weight. The mission from here on out seems less to be about telling a story that makes sense and writing these characters in a way that allows for growth and development, but to show off that Isayama is a very very smart boy who can write a very complex story that nobody could possibly see coming. I hate sounding like cinemasins, but it's just so contrived that either Armin or Erwin would have survived the physical trauma we SAW them go through--let alone both of them. I don't only mean this in a "convenient for the plot" or "erm, nobody could realistically survive that" way. It also goes against the in-universe and the thematic reality of the work itself. AoT had always juxtaposed the soft, fragile human body with the virtual indestructibility of the Titans. The thing that ultimately makes them so scary--both to those in the walls and to the audience--is not how big they are but how difficult they are to kill, while they can kill humans with ease--even if they don't need to. This is illustrated time and time again as we see Titans step on grown men like bugs; dash people against rocks and trees, breaking their bodies; tearing them in half and devouring them. The Beast Titan shows how destructive a titan can be in the hand of one who holds true malice and strength; his rock volleys are shown several times to literally blow the bodies of horses and cadets apart like heavy artillery. A Titan can eviscerate you by accident, but it takes months of training to be prepared to POSSIBLY be able to kill one. Yet, somehow, we have these two men, mangled and burned. We saw Armin's flesh melt away from the muscle and we saw Erwin's body get dashed. And it is ultimately so that Isayama could create a contrived "moral dilemma" to pad the time between Armin's death and opening the basement. A contrivance that shows the audience that Isayama is, in fact, a very smart boy. I just think it would be much better if--should the syringe be used at all, and there's no reason for it not to remain a MacGuffin--to have used it on Levi, after sustaining a mortal wound in his battle with the beast. His character having a moral dilemma with becoming a Titan after devoting his adult life to their destruction would be far less contrived and would pad some time.

yeah courtney, rod did become a titan after licking a drop. a titan also ate eren in like episode 5 and should thus have his powers. AoT is full of contrivances, and a lot of it starts to fall apart under minor scrutiny.

skill issue. hange could keep the other one in captivity--as she's been shown to do--until they catch another of the shifters or break annie out of her shell

Kenny cut Rod's tongue so that's how the serum got into the blood stream. Also the titan that ate Eren didn't bite through his spine for the spinal fluid.

1. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say both armin and erwin have an open wound somewhere in their upper digestive tract. 2. The latter is very post hoc justification

S
>>140416616

1. Oh I don't doubt the syringe could've been split. Either way they only had bertholdt to eat. 2. Alright lol

>>140416616

why does a wound in the digestive system matter, the fluid is inmediately going into the bloodstream. Also the reason santa klaus titan didn't get Erens power is obviously because Eren was still alive, that titan seemed to have a tendency of swallowing people whole since there was also another person still alive inside it's stomach. the person needs to be dead in oreder to transfer the powers

I'm just saying it's a contrivance. And there's nothing wrong with contrivances! Letting your story evolve over time, adapting it to fit how it changes and breathes. Like, the facial marks being a hallmark of shifting isn't introduced until after Annie is sealed up; if it had always been part of the narrative, the "moving in the shadows" element of that arc of issues/episodes doesn't work. But that's fine! The Annie sabotage/forest battle/Annie showdown arc is one of the more compelling parts of this narrative, and it would have been completely impossible if the Titan marks were always a feature. Similarly, the "spinal fluid" thing feels like a post hoc rule, there more to explain--retroactively--why eren wasn't subsumed by santa titan in issue/episode 5, and THEN incorporated into the story as a story element, as opposed to having been planned from the beginning.

Why in the world are you paying to watch AOT reactions if you dislike the show this much.

tg
>>140415782

I'm a hater to my core but having issues and criticisms isn't in itself hatred. You wanna see me in true hater mode wait until season 4

tg
>>140415782

I subbed for the boys and then they started watching AoT and I was like "hm this is interesting" watched the whole series up to that point which was like all but the finale, and formed my own (apparently very controversial) opinions

If you like The Boys, which has flaws in itself, it just seems this type of show is not for you. And just don't watch it. Writing an essay about why you hate a show, when they can save their comrades rather than hold onto it on a what if is crazy to me. You are cold blooded man.

brother respectfully what on earth are you talking about
