Irony Be My Shield posted:I don't know if he's crazy exactly but he does seem to lack the emotional aversion to killing other humans beings that most people have. This is it, 100%. He only ever hesitated against RBA because he was having to emotionally come to terms with their betrayal right on the spot. He feels so different this season because it's the first time we're seeing him kill not in passionate anger, but after having already had time to process what he was about to do.

Welp, I'm all caught up now after binging the entire series in the last 3 weeks and only now it dawned on me that I have to wait for new episodes, shiiiiiit. What is the likelihood of them finishing the entire series in this season? I heard some speculations that the finale will be done as a movie or OVA or something

if they're going to end this season where I think they will, I can't fathom they could finish the rest of it in just one movie. it's gotta be a second cour. or two movies.

Ok. I'll hold on reading the manga until this season (part one or whatev) ends, then. But boooy, it'll require a lot of self-control. I think this arc very well may be my favourite part of aot

Waiting for Season 3, part 2 is what finally broke me and made me go read the manga. If there's a second cours or movie that comes out later this year, those manga sales are going to absolutely skyrocket.

Bread Set Jettison posted:Yuuuup How often do we see Eren afraid for his own life? I feel like the little rage ball only feared for others dying around him, or dying for him (RIP Levi squad) The moment that sold Eren's character to me is when he is lying armless in the titans stomach, sadness turning into vengeful rage. Most people getting eaten in AoT react in disbelief, calling out for their mother, while Eren swears to kill them all. Guess that's why Sasha's death is the only thing to snap him out of his stoic melancholy. What others think of him, what he becomes, his suffering and now others, everything is justified to protect the people he cares for. But when his actions lead to the death of those he cares for, he still can't deal with it.

But this is more of a semantics thing than anything imo. Regarding Eren, I believe anyone who lacks: Irony Be My Shield posted:[...] the emotional aversion to killing other humans beings that most people have. ...isn't quite normal. That disconcerting uniqueness makes him super dangerous and effective as a villain or warrior or whatever—however you want to look at him.

Eren reminds me a lot of Amos Burton from The Expanse. Like, he's not insane but very comfortable with violence. And holy hell if he threaten his "tribe"

And holy hell if he threaten his "tribe" I haven't seen much of the Expanse, but I've seen Amos compared to Mikazuki in Iron Blooded Orphans, and he and Eren are pretty different. Eren's not normal, but he's mostly functional in society. He's angry, stubborn, bullheaded, dense, all that, but not to a degree where he's unable to interact like a normal person. Mika, meanwhile, has this massive void at the center of his character that makes him feel uncanny even when he's not strangling people with his bare hands. Curious which is more Amos's line.

Amos is perfectly functional, personable even. He just has an extremely skewed moral compass due to his hosed up life and will go from a fairly polite, and even friendly person to snapping your neck like a twig at the drop of a hat if you become a threat to him or those he cares about. He relies on others to be his moral compass as a result, fully aware of the fact that something is wrong with him but compensating for it. He's probably a bit closer to Mika in that regard, but he's not some pile of seething rage like Eren is typically thought of.

chiasaur11 posted:I haven't seen much of the Expanse, but I've seen Amos compared to Mikazuki in Iron Blooded Orphans, and he and Eren are pretty different. Yeah, Amos is a lot like IBO's Mikazuki: they're fundamentally calm, even caring people who due their hosed up upbringing ended up with no reservations towards (and often lack the social skills to do little but) using violence against perceived threats to their in-group, and express little compassion once that switch is flipped. They're only borderline-functional individuals in a peaceful context, and look to people close to them as a compass, not fully trusting themselves. OTOH Eren is very much his own man and a complete individual, raised in a loving environment and guided by his own strong sense of justice. He'd actually find the aforementioned characters to be quite creepy. More than a lack of something, perhaps it'd be more accurate to say that there's a passion inside him that pushes him to act, overriding other concerns, when he sees things that threatens what which he cares for, be it the people he loves or his fundamental values. And it all began when his new friend showed him a book, and young Eren realized for the first time that he was not free.

Though really it's more like Levi is too married to his job to think about relationships. That's probably true of most people who joined the Survey Corps. It is, or was, a career with a near 100% chance of sudden, horrible, and untimely death, after all.

Levi eventually relenting, and saying, "I'll trust your judgement." knowing full well he was enabling his doom...what a fiercely loyal companion he was to Erwin. I guess maybe that's a trend among the Ackermann family/bloodline? Seeing as how loyal Mikasa is to Eren.

I mean, we know Erwin didn't marry the woman he fell in love with (letting her get together with Nile) because the job came first. Relationships were for people who don't go on suicide missions on a regular basis. Levi's relationship with Erwin, whatever it is, started as "I'm going to be the one who kills you", but by the end, if nothing else, they trusted each other more than anyone else.

Kenny and Uri had a similar dynamic. (And from his dialogue with Annie, we know that Kenny wasn't having sex with women.)

So, the Ackermanns. I don't have a whole lot of thoughts and hope other folks have some better ones. 1. Ymir kicks off the Age of Tirans 2. They (whoever that is) realize Eldians can be turned into titans by injecting them with serum 3. They try injecting other folks with serum to see what happens 4. I dunno what happens to them, maybe it's like Mitty in Made in Abyss 5. Except the Ackermanns, they get superpowers 6. ~Somehow~ it gets passed on to their kids, lots of handwaving here 7. In the right situation (life or death struggle?) something something lightning bolt, powers activate Someone else please post a more detailed or coherent theory.

There was a time when novels could write about two dudes who went through some poo poo and came out appreciative of each other without it being gay, especially in a war setting. It's kind of like a deep friendship or a familial connection. Since the internet exploded, you can't write like that without everyone automatically thinking they're gay. It's more likely Levi thought of Erwin as a father, since he didn't see much of a father figure in Kenny.

Their relationship is intentionally vague enough that its open to any interpretation that suits your fancy. If you dont want it to be gay then its not gay, just dont freak out if people choose to interpret it differently
