ive been busy so I'm catching up on these uploads but "the fight titan" at the end almost made me choke on my food. love it

Eren did not cause all of this. Willy Tybur, Marley and the World decided and wanted to attack Paradis. Eren only reacted to their choice. It’s like saying that the man that attacked you and that you killed out of self defense was actually because you caused all of it

i think OP forgot that eren caused all of this to happen in the 1st place

Just a heads up: from this episode up commentary section will become toxic.

Theo Traumato

The US government did already work with the Taliban lol

Theo Traumato

When they're talking about buying time in the show (the scene at the shooting range), Mikasa and Armin are specifically talking about needing time for the Marleyans to not see the Eldians as devils. This is something that can't be forced; Armin's point is that using the Rumbling will just create more hatred and war, whereas naturally convincing the Marleyan population that they aren't a threat would lead to less casualties, but needs more time. Remember at this point in time, Willy hasn't declared War since this is a flashback before Eren goes rogue. I'm not really sure what your point is for your first sentence though. It's correct that Willy declared War and right after that Eren attacked, but I'm not really sure what you're trying to say by pointing it out. I'm assuming you mean that Armin wanting to talk wouldn't have mattered because Marley already declared War, and while I think this is true, a declaration of war with no action yet still leaves a possibility that talking could be an option. I mean, in the world of AoT it probably wouldn't have since they don't have any real means of communication, but it's still in character for Armin, Hange etc. to want to talk first. Eren pre-emptively attacking Liberio and killing a lot of the Marleyan and foreign generals made the chance of peace talks go from unlikely but still possible to absolutely never going to happen. Rather than them trying to have a talk with Willy, or convince the Eldians and Marleyans on the mainland that they aren't a threat, Eren made sure they lived up to their "Devil" like names. Again, yes, Marley was going to attack Paradis anyway, but from the point of view of the Scouts and everyone else, they hadn't explored all the options yet, and Eren essentially forced their hand by doing what he done.

Before the battle: the episode

Isac christensen

You are clearly ignoring several facts: 1. Zeke is the ONLY titan with royal blood. He's the key to active the rumbling, without him the rumbling isn't possible, and the rumbling is the only hope for the island's survival. 2. The Scouts were forced into this position by Eren making himself a hostage in Marley. 3. The Scouts didn't really work with Zeke. Didn't you pay attention to this episode? As soon as the got back to the island they had Zeke detained and under custody the entire time as well as the volunteers. 4. Levi CANNOT kill Zeke in this moment in time. It would go against the island's interests and would be considered treason. Again, Zeke is the key to active the rumbling and the rumbling is the only hope for the island's survival. Also, just for your information, the U.S government actually funded the Taliban during their origins to fight against the Soviet Union. So your real world example is 💩

Armin Arlert

I think y’all missed the part where Marley declared war on Paradis island before Eren did anything. So many people choose to ignore that fact and it’s baffling. Also the part where you both forgot what they are trying to buy time for is the time before the Entire world comes to attack Paradis which is a huge deal and literally happened just a few episodes ago on AOT 4x5 episode called declaration of war where Willy Tybur declared war on Paradis and asked the world to join them and the world leaders where cheering, crying, clapping Willy Tyburs words. It amazes me everyone forgets that

Allen Valdes

That's literally the opposite of what the message of the show is, you would know this if you saw the ending.

chris

How are you seriously arguing that Levi is some kind of barbarian incapable of controlling his emotions or following orders? Sorry to say this but that's just dumb.

chris

dont forget that zeke in that flashback only had 3 years left.

Joaquin garcia

Damn, dude got fried

IQLou

You conveniently forgot Levi’s line “I’m going to kill you and send your corpse back to Marley” Levi isn’t this blind killing machine seeking revenge that you want him to be. He’s determined to keep his promise but not at the jeopardy of the island. Levi will kill Zeke when the higher ups have no use for Zeke. It’s why Levi is his prison guard & executioner. Not his partner as you put it. Oh yeah, Levi is 100% not “working with Zeke”. The higher ups are. Levi is ready to kill the Beast Titan at any moment. Just give the word.

Jake the Movie Geek

You mean TLDR? Sure. Love. War. Food. All important. Characters that can learn from mistakes and pay attention to detail and bother communicating and reading. Meanwhile some others don't bother read and learn and complain when people have something to share and they don't bother learning or listening. And so some people get angry and the cycle of punching bags continue.

Charles Malo

Not liking any part of the show is fine, but using the word "objectively" when calling it poor writing, when that is 100% not the case, just shows us that you don't understand the show or characters at all. Levi has always worked towards the greater good, and he's way too smart to mess that up just for his own personal revenge.

Carter Schunk

Can I get a TLTR please? 😁

JS

Yelena looks a lot like Armin so it makes sense to confuse them. Also, Kiss, you’re rocking that princess Azula hairstyle!

JS

Think of their current situation this is a SMALL island with people who barely know of the outside world only in the 3 years they had of freedom to know what awaits for them outside of their tiny island , and the world hates them so you would think FOLLOWING orders would be a top priority instead of letting your emotions get away from you which is exactly what Levi is , Levi doesn’t let his emotions affect the mission or his goals

Josey

Think back to season 1 about how Eren was surprised by how closely Levi followed orders from above. It's perfectly in character for him not to kill Zeke if it is a direct order not to. He promised Erwin to kill Zeke eventually, but if that would jeopardize their current mission, then it's also very reasonable to think he would get an order to hold off. There are plenty of valid criticisms of season 4, but in my opinion, this is not one of them.

Ben

Scouts working with Zeke is one of the most ridiculous things the writer has done. There is no way Levi, as a character who we got to know through the seasons and OVA's, would just sit in front of Zeke and not kill him. Paradis working with him is like the U.S. government working with Al Qaeda or the Taliban. Or more recently, Palestine working with Israel. It just doesn't make sense. This forced alliance is one of the many things that made me detest season 4. Levi acting out of character to move this plot forward is objectively poor writing from Isayama san. It's equivalent to how characters acted extremely out of pocket in the last season of Game of Thrones.

Kevin Narciso

@Gin -- Please be careful with your comments. They haven't finished the show yet.

Merfhew

just to clarify the part with "buying more time" - the moment this was on the table was in the flashback from 3 years ago, so the attack on Marley in the present is not Erens way of "buying time". Not to spoil anything i can only say obviously if there was any talking in between these 3 years, Eren decided on his own that it's not enough^^

Mister Strike

HAPPY ENDINGG

Luca Martellucci

Your thinking sadly is asinine and truly worthy of sympathy. Peace could’ve been an option in a different timeline maybe, you smart aleck. In reality it wasn’t an option, it was a wishful concept.

Gin-liberio

I mean it goes without saying, but you seem to have missed the point of my comment. Obviously war is bad and causes bad things to happen but thats a child shallow way to think about it. The focal point isn’t that war is bad or good. It’s what happens when humans are ignorant and carry hatred towards a race of people, and go with what the indoctrination dictates rather than human intuition and acuteness.

Gin-liberio

Yeah the whole show is about “war is bad” not war is the only option lol

Pioka

... prologue?

Charlotte

Armin, tired of getting confused with Historia: I'm gonna cut my hair so this stops happening Yelena: :)

Charlotte

Extremely funny but understandable that y'all thought Armin had a whole LARP persona as a female Marleyan soldier named Yelena

fr0st

No one at all: Eren: Tatakae... TATAKAE.

Happy Birthday

Poor Armin lol

FAKE NAME 🤣

Someone once told me that there are 3 universal languages: "Love, War, and Food. And often one beckons the other." When you don't have love, all you know is fighting for war or food, and feeding on your spoils. When you don't have war, all you have is love and food, until someone else wants your love and food. When you don't have food, all you have is compassion for those who need it more, or a drive to fight to survive and feed yourself. And yet, pick any sample of humans across any country, fictional or real, and you can see and understand the language of love, the language of war, and the language of food... it will either bring us together, or drift us apart. In season 1 of AoT, we saw the Eldians that we know inside wall Rose get spiteful about the wall Maria survivors coming into their borders because there isn't enough food to feed everyone, meanwhile the lords at the top were munching snacks and not caring about anything and that's within your own "kind", even when they had to get rid of a large percentage of their population just to survive, they still held animocity because "it's them or us." This "it's them or us." theme will come up a lot. In here, Niccolo, a Marleyan who had nothing but hate for Eldians, had his heart of ice melt because Sasha was raw, transparent and honest about her emotions at all times: she loved his food, and he found someone who appreciated him and his food without prejudice, and in turn, he stopped seeing her as an eldian, but as a woman who enjoyed his cooking... And by extension, he saw her family as welcome, and even more in extension: Jean and Connie, unlike Flock, are more susceptible to "not all marlyans are evil" and also respect Niccolo and even defended him and let him mourn sasha... which clearly meant a LOT to him... Niccolo was yelling so that these "island devils stop touching him and let him go" and he was willing to die for that when Helena first showed up, and then here he is, at sasha's graveyard, shaking hands with her father, bonding with an "island devil that shouldnt touch him"... because regardless of where they came from, they knew ONE thing about eachother that transcended their nationality: they both cared deeply for sasha. (same thing for connie/jean and niccolo). It started because Niccolo and Sasha bonded over food, when they were born and raised and expected to hate eachother... and now Sasha died by another girl who was the same "kind" as sasha, but aspired to be an honorary marleyan, aspired to be the same kind as Niccolo... All it takes is to find the ONE thing that unites you and your enemy, and be willing to look past the things that you do not agree with, and try to keep a channel of communications open... Sometimes there's no winning, but at least you tried. AoT JUST introduced us to this new chracter and in less than 10 minutes look at how much you can extrapolate from the character development, and what Sasha's life AND death has in terms of impact on the story, when she's just a secondary character according to some. And remember, Some are willing to die to find some form of peace, and others are willing to kill to keep their own version of that peace. While some are forced to kill to "irrelevent" people to remain relevent, meanwhile... some others simply die irrelevent deaths, but their deaths are the most relevent.

Charles Malo

Im glad they didn't see it in that kind of perspective and let that take away the raw emotions and confusion happening.

Robert Lopez

Happy Birthday, Owen!

Slaizio

The plan for peace sounds nice but as you can see the people of the island are already spreading hate towards marlayans. All while the world is prepping to bomb the island into dust. Cycle of hatred will always continue

C

Thought you guys forgot to upload for a second. Thanks for the reaction

Hertog

It always seemed obvious, they look completely different outside of both of them having blonde hair. I can understand why people who don't watch a lot of Anime can mistake them, though.

Spencer Wattamaniuk

It's also uncomfortable because there is now a veil between Eren Yeager and the audience that never existed before. We don't know his internal monologue or motivations.

Spencer Wattamaniuk

I know, right? Really, REALLY astute.

camel

Many of viewers where confused between Armin and Yelena

Mesbah Mohamady

“War was the only right option” type of thinking is like, exactly what the main theme of this entire show argues against lmao. “Peace was never an option” is the excuse used by the weak only to justify their actions.

Kevin

I wanted to add a few words regarding the golden thread of Eren's character. We see Eren as being very different and determined to fight now because in the previous episode he's never had any agency. Whenever he hesitates, if you remember, it's always Levi who says are you doing it? Or are you not? Eren's always pushed to the brink being forced to fight. Now that Eren appears to have agency and took up his own fights, we get uncomfortable.

CHENYU WANG

Awesome reactions again!

CHENYU WANG

The perfect way to end my birthday!

Owen Zon

Don't feel bad. I was pretty sure it was Armin who lead Piek and Galliard into the trap too. To be perfectly honest, my confusion lasted until I rewatched it with you guys.

B.G.

ah, the "oh no, Eren got hot" episode

Charlotte

"verse 9" didn't realize this was bible study

Cam Hutchinson

I assume it'll be soon. They said, "The Full Length ep is right behind this upload, standby!"

Merfhew

Will the full length reaction be online soon, or is it going to take more time? Can't wait for the season finale, it's going to be amazing!

Oktay Yumlu

waughrus

Peace was never an option in the fog of ignorance. The only way to guarantee peace is to make the prospect of war seem hopeless. Unfortunately war was the only right option in hopes of coming closer to armistice.

Gin-liberio

No worries. You aren't alone in mixing up Armin and Yelena. Most of the reaction channels I've followed made the same mistake. Heck, even I thought it was Armin at first. You're also not alone in mixing up the 3-years-ago flashback with present day.

Merfhew

15:52 - I’m sick! lol

Jesse Gutierrez

Epilogue's done now haha, from now on things are going to get complicated and everything will have a gray spectrum. The show will test them on the morality of all things. Great reaction, and don't worry if some things don't click immediately, it happened to us too the first time :)

Damian Rodriguez

lol the confused chaos at the beginning was pure gold

YonkoJoe

the clown video when yall thought it was still Armin 😂

MJ

do not feel dumb lol you guys got a lot more your first time than i did.

Blue Planet

You all are so consistent it’s surprising when you don’t drop in the morning. You should take that as a compliment!

Snorlax

I've not seen the reaction yet but if you have questions we can gladly clarify any plot point up until now. :)

Slaizio

No worries we understand
