Like come on son, Isayama literally did “support for me, not for thee” with the alliance straight in y’all faces & you just eat it up like cow chow. It’s ridiculous.
So like, did we forget that the people who fought against him became an accomplice of said genocide & the girl died, buried with said genociders garments? 😭😭
People saying that him crying in the water is “exposing a front” are slow. The beginning of 139 has him admitting his “chad self” is a front. You could have the crying panel erased and still have it be true that his stoic self is a front.
Imagine you spend 10+ years writing a absolute masterpiece and then on the last step you make this travesty of a page and purposely undermine the immersion and gravitas of your meticulously made story? Like what goes inside someone's mind in other to make this?
Yall niggas saw an absolute war crime in the last moments of AoT and said “oh my god this really encompasses humanity” like it’s normal. My god AoT fucked with the brains of millions.
The ending was dark, messy, inconclusive, and left the characters second guessing their own actions and full of regrets. Which is appropriate for the story and a good ending, but not something your average shonentard can comprehend. As shonentards made up the primary western audience, this colored the perception of the ending's quality as negative due to their reactions to not getting what they wanted.
@erenkeys Eren wanting a %100 rumbling for Paradis was stated and reiterated in his head/memories and group setting.
With those two showcasing, The detail can't be lies of your POV AND group setting unless you're insane. The author is either lying to the reader or a retcon is in place
Luffy's got Gear 5, Ichigo has a melanin install adding yet another race to his arsenal and Naruto's stuck with that bum ass baryon mode as his final form shit is foul.
Best phenomenon regarding AOT's fanbase is seeing in real time people who hated the ending slowly switch on chapter 131.
They really thought that it was about Eren being a tragic nationalistic hero that needed to do horrible things for the sake of his country.
@James532398326 No one is saying that after effects doesn’t exist, but everything you labeled doesn’t obfuscate who wins a war. Even by your own admission it doesn’t.
Imagine being a WW2 Veteran & someone comes up to you & tells you “Uhm, actually… you DIDN’T win. There are NO real winners of this war” because of the gospels of AoT.
This series has screwed with yall minds in degrees I can’t understand.
@erenkeys 1. No real winners
2. The sins of the father
3. Everyone thinks their right
4. The dangers of nationalism
5. The dangers of fascism
6. How propaganda is on both sides of conflicts
7. Children of the forest.
Hope this helps👍
