Levi having convo with the scouts because of the decision. No Regrets full circle. No explanation needed. If you know, you know.

2024-07-01 03:19:45 +0000 UTCI can see what you mean with Historia, but Armin is such a crucial point of the story. Season 4 has a pretty big twist sure, but everything after season 3 happens logically after everything that happened. Also Isayama having Armin as a narrator was for a reason. He had planned the ending from the beginning, he only stated he was nervous because of the mounting pressure to deliver the ending he always imagined. I seriously dont quite understand why you think Armin of all people was underutilized in the back half of the show.

2024-06-24 01:59:01 +0000 UTCThe decision for Armin to be the colossol was formed at the start, as it was always Isayama's intention to have him be the main player by last portion of the show. Levi, by the show's logistics, can't inherit the Titan. Conny, Sasha and Jean's purpose was to be the human characters of the show, not like Eren, Mika and Armin who by all accounts, have very specific roles in the narrative. Also their characters dont mesh well having the power of a god of destruction. I think the point was the juxtaposed by Armin being his peaceful nature inheriting the most powerful of the 9 besides the Founder. I think what you're asking for takes AOT into a different type of show that it was intending to be by Season 4, which was foreshadowed from the very beginning of the series. Having another training arc and learning moment from our characters who have already grown immensely would've been a repeat of the earlier seasons.

2024-06-24 01:54:43 +0000 UTCI've never gone to culinary school, nor have I worked behind the line at a kitchen professionally--but I still can cut open a piece of chicken and determine if it's undercooked. I can still evaluate a meal and whether it's well presented, well executed, and whether it works. A consumer of any art does not need to be an expert to critically engage with it, nor does that attitude help anyone involved. Isayama's work is not above reproach because he worked really hard on it and it might hurt his feelings if someone says parts of it are bad. I do not want to write a story like Attack on Titan, nor do I have plans to. To believe in any way, however, that this disqualifies me or someone else from engaging with the work is bizarre and, frankly, childish.

2024-06-15 22:04:32 +0000 UTCI usually refrain from commenting, but I want to clarify my perspective. While I could write an essay and delve into a detailed rebuttal, I don't have the time nor the energy to do so. Isayama clearly understands his craft, and whatever you said about him doesn't make sense at all. Armin and Erwin dilemma is of course contrived. And the complexities of characters like Armin and Erwin are deliberately constructed, as is the entire narrative. Isayama, as the writer, orchestrates these elements masterfully. If you aim to emulate Isayama's storytelling, best of luck; replicating even a fraction of his skill is a daunting task.

2024-06-14 23:28:26 +0000 UTCI would be on board with that if it was a more prominent focus, or if it affected more. Won't say much because they haven't seen it, but I just think Armin is underutilized going forward. In my opinion, Isayama became more focused on plot (not even story--just plot) that characters sort of fell by the wayside. It becomes, increasingly, a game of trying to stay 3 steps ahead of the audience. To be smarter than the audience. Its primary goal seems to be to make everything a twist, make everything unexpected. Which ultimately ends up cheapening the whole when viewed with a wider lens. Yet, for all these status quo changes in plot, status quo changes in character grind everything to a halt. The first half of this season builds up to Historia being queen, and then she has, like, a single scene with lines in the back half of the season. These big status quo changes happen with characters--Historia becoming Queen, Armin becoming the Colossal--and then these elements get almost dropped; underdeveloped and underutilized imo. It's like Isayama just didn't know what to do with them.

2024-06-13 00:25:26 +0000 UTCi like what they do cause Armin has a very strong power but he is carried by "hope" and not "revenge" like Eren for ex.

2024-06-12 22:48:03 +0000 UTCI honestly think that the decision to revive Armin was lame as hell. I really think they should have had the guts to kill them both. If they used the injection at all, I think it should have either been 1. Levi. Have him be badly injured during his fight with the Beast. His character is very cool, collected, and badass, but ultimately very 1-dimensional. Forcing him to become a Titan would make his character much more interesting in a number of ways. It would force him to reckon with becoming something he hates. It would force him to become vulnerable; take an almost subordinate role to Eren, who has a better handle of his Titan, so we'd see a side of Levi we hadn't as he is thrust back to the role of Cadet forced to train with Hange and Eren, and falling on his ass. Further, he'd have to grapple with whether the Titan-killing skills he's devoted his life to are now obsolete now that he has such a momentous power at his disposal. 2. Give it to Sasha. She's injured. And her character has just sort of "been there" the whole time. She's a fan favorite--and I love her too--but she is by far the most nothing burger of a character of the main cast, except maybe Annie who barely qualifies. Her character traits are "hungry" and "good hearing" and "friends with Conny." Indeed, maybe injure Conny and give it to him. I love the guy but the extent of his character is "village was destroyed--what's the deal there?" "friends with Sasha" and "nice." While I don't have as many ideas for the directions you could go with a Colossal Sasha or Colossal Conny as I do for a Colossal Levi, I think it would have been a much needed and very welcome status quo change for the story. Instead, we got a fakeout ending where a needlessly contrived "moral dilemma" was conceived for the purpose of not having to kill Armin. I ultimately can't say what AoT would look like if it went in another direction. I can say the way Armin is utilized after this episode is underwhelming. I know I run the risk of people saying that's a spoiler even though I gave no specifics, but the longer the show goes on, the more it feels like the decision to revive him was motivated more by a fear that people would stop buying the manga if he wasn't in it than anything else.

2024-06-11 23:57:01 +0000 UTCJust in case you guys forgot but 100 scouts went in and only 9 survived. 2-3 squads on the outside fight were βeliteβ. Also they had to tell Armin cause Erwin is the scout commander haha. They canβt just lie to Armin every second of everyday sayin βCommander Erwin is outβ or βyou just missed himβ. Hereβs where questions start to get answeredβ¦
