No Wave posted:You're calling me unrealistic because I don't believe the entire industrialized world would mobilize and kill every person in a country, at great risk, for no gain. When an oppressed minority gains the ability to strike back at their oppressors, or hold them at risk in any way, those oppressors freak the gently caress out. They despise the people on Paradis and have for generations now, they view holding the Eldians in internment zones as a perfectly acceptable and rational practice. That they could be easily spurred to genocide seems perfectly plausible.

tbp posted:oh for sure, but i thought the audience was meant to read it as a tragedy, too. that eren didn't want this at all, he could genuinely not control himself (particularly once he ended up in the coordinate), things were moving without his direct input. and we're supposed to understand this as the good in the world losing. the cycle of hatred was too bad and created a monster that couldn't be caged back in. at no real point in the story did i come away thinking "isayama wants me to think that there are some positives from the rumbling", i sincerely took it as being a complete failure on every character's part to prevent this. It's not that he couldn't do anything to stop it, it's that he doesn't want to. Eren can live amongst a people, acknowledge their humanity, then kill them anyway because he is incapable of envisioning any other solution. He's not happy about this, it's not what he would have liked but he can't think of anything else because he's a broken human being who always chooses violence and assumes his opponents will as well.
