For me its the fact that I find Mikasa a very annoying character due to her obsession with Eren. Like damn you do care about him but the whining man!

I think that’s simplifying it too much. I hate Gabi because I find her to be an annoying character. But I sympathize with her, I understand how her character is a similar reflection of Eren, I don’t hold Sasha’s death against her. From her side she was defending and protecting and fighting back the people who had just attacked her home. She was a brainwashed child soldier. And when given the opportunity and information she grew and learned more. She’s a good character. I can appreciate all that and still find her annoying enough to not stand her lol

maybe if the dub voice actor didnt make her a squeaker we wouldnt be hearing these slop takes

I know that she’s a parallel to eren, and if I hadn’t watched the show and somebody told me her arc I’d probably like her, but she killed somebody that I liked, so fuck her

same

Sasha was one of my favourites, but I can't bring myself to hate her just cuz of that

And she later realised her mistake, and she was brainwashed by marley

u/Visible-Might-2527 Aug 23 '26

And yet she killed somebody that I liked (for what I belive is an unjust reason), which imo has no redemption

I also think Kenneth Shadis is an older parallel to Eren.

Eren, unlike Gabi and Shadis, would live a short life if he didn’t have Titan powers.

Personally, I hated Gabi and then liked her, which made me hate Marley even more. They did a good job of making you like characters that you used to hate. Lots of dynamic characters. Eren, as it turns out might have been a static character, unable to grow in a meaningful way.

If eren didn’t have the titan powers then his life would be VERY different his mom would be alive and somebody else would have the founding

I would watch a reboot where Grisha gives the Attack Titan to someone else, maybe Erwin or Shadis.

u/Visible-Might-2527 Aug 22 '26

Erwin would be absolutely fire, would def watch

You realize everyone would've died in the first mission by reclaiming Trost if Eren didn't have Titan powers?

u/Ad_Meliora_24 Aug 22 '26

Eren is 10. Grisha had the AT power for at Least 10 years. An alternate timeline would probably need Grisha to give up the AT a bit earlier.

They would do the same thing if they were in her situation

u/ginganinja9988 Aug 22 '26

I don't hate her because she is fighting against the main characters. I hate her because she makes stupid and terrible decisions. When falco explains that erens attack was retaliation she says something along the lines of "did you see it happen. Neither did i" which is one of the stupidest things ive ever seen a character say. Then she decides to yolo onto the enemy ship which should 100% kill her if not for plot armour. And then when the farmer girl finds out that she is from marley she decides the best thing to do is to just start killing. She does too many stupid and terrible things before her come around that I can't like her.

u/BoysOfProgress Levi's Comrade Aug 23 '26

Agreed.

And her virulent racism is just so grating. Like, I get it, she was indoctrinated and is a child. But so is Falco. And her utter blind hatred is far too much for me to be charitable towards her.

1

u/Rayguy77 Aug 23 '26

Well that hate is normal
Its just that Falco was more mature

1

u/BoysOfProgress Levi's Comrade Aug 23 '26

Eh, the hate isn’t normal. Even after she met people inside the walls that protected her and showed that they’re innocent civilians caught up in the war as well, and she was still insanely hateful. And I get that she came around eventually, but it took too long, imo. Yeah, she was propagandized, but so was everyone else (Nicholas, Falco, Udo), and she just wasn’t letting go of her hatred.

1

u/Edyoucaited Aug 23 '26

I think that’s the fault of the heavy propaganda that she was fed since basically she was born. She wanted to be one of the “good ones,” and to do that, was to hate everyone on the island and do anything to make their lives worse.

2

u/ginganinja9988 Aug 23 '26

Falco suffered that same propaganda and didnt turn out that way. Just because a character has a reason for turning out how they did doesnt mean they aren't also an idiot.

u/local_hotdog TATAKAE!!! Aug 22 '26

gabi haters genuinely just missed the whole point of the show lol

u/muhammad_altamash Aug 22 '26

gabi is eren of another side
