@ZakMitchell3 Anyway, got irl stuff going on, can’t continue. Thanks for not being an asshole on the internet.

[Robert Nelson @robertleifn]

@ZakMitchell3 Yeah I should’ve clarified, pre-Marley Armin was the moral compass, until he got lead along with Paradis Politics and being a weapon. But he still is supposed to be in opposition to Eren, and sure, he can grieve his friend, but I argue Eren doesn’t deserve that kindness.

@ZakMitchell3 accused of being fascist, I would do everything in my being to condemn it before the end of the story, which Isayama did not do.

[Robert Nelson @robertleifn]

@ZakMitchell3 The thing is, the anime changed the ending to tone down the fascism. Armin literally thanks Eren for committing genocide in the manga. The anime wanted to keep it thematically similar to the manga, so it didn’t change too much. All I’m saying is, if my works are being 1/

@ZakMitchell3 Genuinely, my only gripe was with the scene between Eren and Armin. Armin is supposed to be the moral compass, and to have him agree with Eren is to affirm Eren’s actions. The scene should have be a condemnation, not a celebration.

[Robert Nelson @robertleifn]

@ZakMitchell3 If he really wanted to undercut fascism, he should have wrote Eren as an outright villain or an idiot with too much power (as the show nearly got to). Everything could have played out the same way, but the celebration of a fascist autocratic dictator is not it.

@ZakMitchell3 Japanese generals that brutalized their people. Generals that Isayama adores and inserted into his story. Also if fascism was pointless in the first place as everything gets destroyed anyway, why have Eren annihilate humanity? And then celebrate him as a hero? Really? 2/

[Robert Nelson @robertleifn]

@DanielBGreene problems at hand without fascism. It would have been a lot better than “see you in hell buddy” and seeing a bunch of fascists celebrate saying “Eren was right.” And sure, Isayama shows the dangers of fascism, but he sure does show what he loves about it more.

[Robert Nelson @robertleifn]

@DanielBGreene I have to disagree. If Isayama wanted the story to be critical of fascism and genocide, he wouldn’t have wrote it so it was the only way to solve the issues. That scene between Eren and Armin would have been Armin humiliating Eren by showing him another way to solve the 1/
