Yeah the armband imagery is kind of a misstep imo because it encourages looking for a direct allegory that's not really there and wouldn't be great if it was.

No follow up? It was the last episode! Maybe give it a couple more episodes before saying "no follow up" Jesus Christ lol

Attack on Titan isn't fascist at all. This argument has been driven into the ground in this thread. You can't watch season 4 and think it's glorifying fascism in any way

Regrettably, often, yes. Zombies started out as the slave's fear of being worked beyond death. Romero took it and turned it into horror of being consumed by white consumer culture. Then white consumer culture took zombies and turned it into fear of the race war.
The missing link in there is actually The Smurfs

Edit: someone has changed my avatar to what appears to be an AoT one, I can't see what it is on the app so it might be a spoiler? loving oval office
It's not a spoiler, it's a panel from the Billy Bat edit I posted (I did not make it), but it means nothing out of context

Looks like the style of the dude that does monster and Pluto.
Yes, it's from Billy Bat

This might be one of the few long running tv shows where the mystery box ended up being not stupid. Pretty much everything is telegraphed from the first two seasons.

What's the retcon exactly. I don't think anything we get is explicitly contradictory about the female titan's powers as introduced versus what we learn later.
The female titan looks like Annie vs the female titan looks like that because it's the only female titan. What would happen if some dude ate her? Well... *flips table, runs out of room*

Please stop talking about the end of the manga in the anime thread.
Did you know that at the end of the manga they find the portal to the marvel universe and the finale is a crossover with the avengers?

if the anime were to somehow repudiate its fascist worldview by the end, what would you expect it to look like?

quote:

In his online magazine “Tomino Ryū no Tomino”, the director had called Isayama a stubborn bullied child who relieved his anger through drawing manga.

“In short, he used to be a stubborn bullied child. He relieves his resentment by drawing manga,” Tomino said,

He added, that the manga seems more offensive to public order and morals than the radical sexual expression and he will never read it or let it be published under his watch.

“I personally don’t want to read it, and I don’t want to evaluate it. The fact that such manga is received like this means that the present era is pretty terrible.”
When he gets to the Tomino quote it becomes amazing
