2022-10-24 08:28:13 +0000 UTCMost of all though, she did what she did for the reason she said. She said "I am returning a favor. I would've never come back to being a human if you guys didn't come to break the wall that day." She was setting her debt straight. She knew that if she didn't save Bert and Reiner they would've died, and since she owes them her life, she save theirs in return.
Adam Adamowicz
2022-10-24 06:46:23 +0000 UTCyeah that too. Guilt is a big topic in SNK that's why her and Historia are so connected too. And it doesn't appear she was glad. If you are referencing what she says to Bertholt and Reiner at the walls when she is staring at the sky, there is truth and sarcasm. She regrets not being able to marry Historia and live a happy life, but she made her choice and is at peace witrh it.

2022-10-23 05:33:10 +0000 UTCshe felt guilty for taking the power and reincarnating, enjoyed it while it lasted and was gladly giving it back to marcel's brother once she figured out the situation they were all in.

2022-10-23 04:51:07 +0000 UTCIt was relating the titan curse, her dying after the 13 years. Ans she knows that even if she stays within the walls, everyone is gonna die anyway as they are still clueless about the world, it's giving them a bit of time.
Gaïa New Gate
2022-10-23 03:18:48 +0000 UTCI may be picking this up wrong from your comment but when you say she was going to die anyway, do you mean very soon after that or once her 13 years were up in 8 years?

2022-10-23 02:59:11 +0000 UTCI love it when people actually understand well written Reiner’s character is. He’s, hands down, my favorite in this show.

2022-10-23 01:50:50 +0000 UTCNobody understands my girl Ymir even though she was one of the most important character lmao, why ?????? Remember the titan curse ? Ymir was gonna die anyway. She protected everyone by going with Bertholt and Reiner so they could at least come back with a titan so they wouldn't get killed in Marley. That's why Bertholt cries and tells her he is sorry. By sacrificing herserlf, she gave the scout some times to organise themselves without constant fear of the colossal or the armored braeking the walls again.

2022-10-23 01:01:15 +0000 UTCI'd rather they use that time to watch a new show.

2022-10-22 23:09:03 +0000 UTCI think that an abrupt cut between that scene and the ones before and after really added to the unsettling feeling. You would miss it if you blinked yet it fits so well with the overal tone and themes the episode set up.

2022-10-22 19:42:04 +0000 UTCLol no that's just an eldian soldier committing suicide, unfortunately. Also, that suicide scene wasn't in the manga

2022-10-22 17:55:36 +0000 UTCYes please do a rewatch on the channel, it would be a great retrospective
Justice Hastings
2022-10-22 17:45:49 +0000 UTCI wouldnt want you guys to watch season 4 part 2 intro until you finish it in my opinion
Mason O Sharpe
2022-10-22 14:31:29 +0000 UTCYes it's doing that also and many other things, and that's why the scene is more complex than people give it credit for, I just encompassed it as "trolling" from isayama pov instead of writing an essay explaining every single detail, it's also portraying the 2 personalities' conflict, the need to keep up appearances, the contrast of unsettling serious almost horror music playing while ridiculous inoffensive silly things are being said and many more things going on at once, at the end you can interpret it as you like.
Ego Jinpachi
2022-10-22 13:47:35 +0000 UTCThat's not what the scene is doing. Reiner is describing the people on the island as normal people who aren't devils due to his inner conflict. That's why Gabi is confused like "wait, they're devils, right?" and his mom shuts it down.

2022-10-22 13:21:43 +0000 UTCReiner's dinner table speech is Isayama trolling the viewers it's like he's making fun of his own show (which he does 3 times total from what I can remember, we have seen 2 so far 1 more later on in the season, the other one we have seen so far is the attack titan episode when Hange is trolling/making fun of Eren through Isayama writing after he learned the name of his titan which should be a climax epic moment that consolidates the show and gives meaning to its title is instead immediately brought back to earth with a joke.

2022-10-22 12:15:28 +0000 UTCI love the skit in the beginning before the reaction :)

2022-10-22 09:06:12 +0000 UTCLove the thorough discussion as usual. You two really give this show the attention to detail it deserves so listening to your analysis is always great.

2022-10-22 08:22:00 +0000 UTCAnd finally they meet everyone's favorite titan shifter pieck
Night Sterling
2022-10-22 07:39:22 +0000 UTCI love the way you two think about the motivations of the characters! Really looking forward to the next reaction.
Randy Williams
2022-10-22 07:34:04 +0000 UTCI think this is why it is so nice to have both Ben AND Anna. When Ben starts trying to predict plot points, Anna understands but quickly challenges his assumptions and goes with more story-based and and grounded thoughts. Regardless of who is wrong or right, it is nice to have both sides presented and brought up.
Brandon Miller
2022-10-22 07:30:13 +0000 UTCTheir brains are too powerful for this show
Kevin Vasquez
2022-10-22 07:27:57 +0000 UTCThey already do two a week, Friday and Sunday.

2022-10-22 07:21:44 +0000 UTCOh yeah that's the good stuff! Praying for a double upload nxt week xD
Chris V
2022-10-22 07:06:13 +0000 UTCAlways loving the reactions. However, I'm a little bit worried that they might not focus on the important matters, in favor of other small things. For Marleyans being dark, I think it is okay to say that this is an art-style change. Also, ships being sunk should be accepted as an assumption. I think the experience of season 4 really depends on how we see the Marley-Eldians. I know that they are good at predicting or catching some plot tools, but I really hope that they catch the main story too.

2022-10-22 06:58:34 +0000 UTCa soldier jumped off the roof, nothing to do with reiner, that is a ridiculous idea haha
