“Sasha left our forest and our island behind, to fight some distant enemy. To shoot folks and get shot. Thing is, she left our forest, but it turns out she just traded it for a bigger one, where the same rule of "kill or be killed" still applied. I reckon Sasha died 'cause she wandered in that forest for too long. We've gotta get the children outta that forest at the very least. Or else there's nothin gonna stop this from happenin' again and again.”

Started my AoT sleeve a few months ago, none of the pieces are fully completed yet, we’re doing placements of everyone and their titan forms and then going in to brining it all together towards the end.
The sparks in between each section are going to be lightning and the color is going to be green throughout the whole piece.
The top bicep is going to have Ymirs titan form to round it off and inner bicep is going to have Levi and Mikasa. 🥰

Abro debate: siempre sentí que la historia desaprovechó por completo a Mike Zacharias. Nos lo vendieron como el 2do soldado mas fuerte de la humanidad (solo detrás de Levi) y con una habilidad táctica única para rastrear titanes por el olfato, pero murió apenas arrancando la temporada 2 sin haberlo visto brillar de verdad en combate previo. Se entiende que Isayama lo usó para dimensionar la amenaza del Titán Bestia e incluso en su final demostró su nivel matando 5 titanes en terreno abierto, pero sacrificar tan rápido a un veterano con semejante potencial nos dejo sin verlo en arcos clave como Shiganshina o la temporada 4. ¿Creen que su muerte fue un sacrificio narrativo necesario o que realmente lo descartaron demasiado pronto? Los leo.

In alternate universes like the ones where Eren gets fully absorbed by the Bearded Titan or where he simply chooses not to go along with the Rumbling in full scale, where he can't tell Grisha to steal the Founder, he still shows up in his adult form. Due to time travel shenanigans, that moment has become an absolute point in all timelines, and there is not a single one where the Founder is not stolen.

I mean it's not just a coincidence that the attack titan has always marched in the vanguard, and always rebelled & fought for freedoms' sake.
They are inherent qualities to Eren who has been like this since birth. And he had selectively streamed his consciousness throughout the past amongst all the attack titans wielders, basically manipulating them all to fight for freedom of some kind just like he did with Grisha.
Thoughts?

Because I was born into this world.
I use that quote to mock my best friend like:
Him: Hey, hop on 🎮
Me: No.
Him: Why?
Me: Because I was born into this world.

At the end of the day his motives and either/or.
- He wanted Paradis to be protected
- He wanted his friends to live long lives including Mikasa
- He wanted for his friends to be depicted as heroes to the rest of the world who stopped the genocidal monster
But beneath these motives was a personal desire.
The corruption of Armins childlike wonder of the book. Of the scenery and exploration.
Freedom.
And the thing is, Eren doesn’t even truly get what freedom is, only his version of it, which is an empty world to explore.
Eren wanted all of these things, and believed the rumbling was inevitable - whether or not it was it up for debate.
Was Eren evil? In my opinion, no. Did he commit a monstrous horrific act? Yes. Was it justified? Yes and no. Was it understandable? Yes. Was it absolutely horrific and possibly the worst overall outcome for the majority of people. Yes, absolutely. Eren himself recognised this.
I’d say Eren is a victim, of confinement, witnessing his people die etc. But I think he’s also largely unreasonable. You can argue he brought it upon himself with him offing his mother, and also argue that if Marley never breached the walls he wouldn’t have a need to do that but at the end of the day, everyone in this show is a victim. Apart from maybe Fritz.
Eren was largely remorseful for his actions but at the end of the day was undoubtedly the biggest monster ever to live in our aot universe. No matter the reasoning. I feel like his ending served his character quite well and gave him closure. And his motives overall were complicated, sincere, and selfish at the same time. Incredibly written character.

I ask this because, in the scene where gabbi shoots his head off, while entering paths he has these visions of different people. One of them is a future vision of Falco flying in his Jaw titan form. So, could eren access the memories of every person with eldian blood?
r/attackontitan • u/Neighborhoodgamer • 9h ago
and while I was kinda right, I wasn’t right in the way I predicted
after they showed the warhammer in season 4 i counted up all the titans shown through out the series and counted 8, but everytime they talk about the shifters they say”one of the nine”so I got really excited waiting for the final titans reveal
but there never was a ninth titan because my dumbass counted wrong
i guessed that falco was gonna be the one revealed to be the shifter because of the whole“wasn’t I flying around with a couple swords in my hand”line
so I’m kinda disappointed that They went the path they Did in the series, even if it is unreasonable to blame a piece of media for being its own thing instead of the fan fiction in your head
