  • Is Attack on Titan: The Final Chapters a Genocide Propaganda? An affirmation towards fascism, even? Find out right now in this video!
    The infamous, most popular Shingeki no Kyojin anime is finally ending in Fall 2023 and we are left with the original ending. Perhaps the question arises whether the conclusion implicates how genocide is necessary or else fascism is the best way to control "rebels"? So let's delve deeper into the finale within the particular scope to find out.

    Finally, a mature AOT fan. I was going crazy with these biased kids advocating for mass murder and legit the biggest genocide of human history (almost an omnicide) just because Eren is the main character.

      and your take is so wrong, the fact that Marleyan are the one who demonized Eldian, and the fact that Marleyan the one who make Eldian became pure titan to begin with.
      Marleyan dont want to come to peacful agreement, hence the rumbling, it's literally logical reason for Eren to do that, understanding the act what makes it logical.
      Eren himself said why he did the rumbling although he can't see beyond that, he want Eldian to kill him and make them heroes who stopped him, and even until the end Marleyan is ignorant and is still with their corrupted mind thinking that Eldian is the demon, when it is their goverment who did that to begin with.
      Marleyan didn't even realize that it is their goverment doing, and they are the one who faced the consenquences.
      Eren methode might be extreme, but it makes the Eldian and Marleyan united as one, this is just fantasy, not realities, doesnt need to be political.

      corrupted them and failed to see the truth.
      - "Eldia didnt try to negotiate", uhh hello, walls, titans that Marleyan produce, the technological froze
      advancement in Eldia, they didnt even need that excuse to begin with, because in time skip proven that
      Marleyan is beyond corrupted to even have a discussion with Eldia, even after thousands of years already
      past, Marleyan became much more corrupted, not to mention Eldian and Eren learnth about Marleyan in that
      time skip, but what changed in Marleyan POV? nothing changed, they so fixated at, that Eldian is the demon,
      when Marleyan goverment feeding bullshit to the Marleyan communities, and they are the one who keep doing
      the inhuman act, when Eldian already stop, it should stop there, but no, they keep going on making pure
      titan out of innocent Eldian Civillian.
      - yeah so what it is a omnicide? it's literally the only one thing that make Eldian and Marleyan work side
      by side
      - "make this look like some highschool girl fight, embrassing" what is embrassing about this is,
      you make stuff of fictional like it is a real thing, stop embrassing yourself. you are the one who
      look so salty and vengeful toward Eldian, you talk about the past that never happened anymore, but instead Marleya is the one who repeated them over and over,
      when the Eldian already stop what they did, and live without
      doing the same thing ever again, and what worst is, Marleyan actually believe in their lies, creating
      all this Titans situation to feed lies beyond lies to the Marleyan as a whole, and try to take founding
      titans power to nuke Eldian flat when the time comes, Marleyan is literally worst than what Eldian did,
      King of Eldia have a change of heart, while Marleyan kept being animal.
      - without the rumbling Marleyan wont have change of heart, because the goverment dead set believe in their
      own lie to themself, and the lie that they feed to the country themself, they wanted to Nuke Eldia
      and Eldian themself after they took the Founder Titans power, but even if they failed to take that power
      away from Eren, they still dead set to nuke Eldia without even stop and thinking of their act.
      Rumbling is no way is a good thing, but in fiction like this, with the corrupted goverment refused to defuse the situation for thousands of years, and make it even worst, yes and yes, this is the answer, act as the last resorts, also because they finally open their eyes to the truth that lies dormant from their eyes.
      Eldian live in cage, while Marley Goverment planning to nuke the new born innocent Eldia in the cage, while created pure Titans out of innocent new born Eldia that lived in Marley.
      one thing that is so agreeable in this video is, do not be extreme in anything, that can reflected back to the real world, but not to the fantasy stories such as Attack On Titan.

      @@funfries3857 You cannot ignore 2000 years of oppression, humiliation, massacre and even genocides. The Eldians of the walls are certainly innocent, but the hate they are getting is certainly understandable.
      The solution is for both camps is to sit down and talk with each others, undersand the other side's point of view and ending in negotiations.
      The Marleyan governement being "corrupt" (as if Paradis isn't full of corruption) isn't a justification for massacring innocents.
      You are talking like if you are the owner of the show, affirming that nothing can be changed to desesperately justify an omnicide, and this with ansolutely no evidence. Fun fact, even the actual Author is against your "opinion".
      AOT is a realistic show where you are indeed supposed to use it as an example to compare to the real world. The opinion you hold on the show can tell a lot of things about what you would do in real life. And you dare to say I am embarassing for having common sense, when you don't even hide how immature and childish your way of interpreting the serie, like a "hightschool girl fight" where the story talks about war, politics and people being massacred.
      Paradis could send a small rumbling just to neutralize Marley's military, then force it and the rest of the world to negotiate for peace. This was literally the canon strategy Paradis was going for before the Yeagerists took over. This was an explicitly shown solution for the problem, yet you prefer detroying humanity, there is no word to describe how evil and crazy your are. You remember that scene when the swimming collosal titans destroyed all the slips and burned the soldiers there ? Eren would have stopped at that moment, but he decided to keep going, killing millions of civilians for no reason.
      In conclusion, you make absolutely no sense, plus the fact you are immoral. Something is wrong with you.

    this is a reply I made to someone regarding Eren's attempted omnicide being "the best & justified solution" & how there are better alternative solutions than the rumbling, that i thought would be worth sharing, here it is:
    " Honestly I liked your answer, in my opinion the way the world's reaction is portrayed is a bit unrealistic, it's still plausible seeing as they were apparently oppressed by the Eldian people for close to 2000 years, but you gotta remember, IRL there is more political ideologies than just the current world powers & governments, Paradis would definitely find valuable allies in the world.
    The solution you gave was certainly better than almost an omnicide, I'd like to add a few more points to that solution: for example, if Paradis were to send their colossals to attack various military infrastructure throughout Marley, & threatened Marley with an insane amount of civilian casualties, then of course Marley would forfeit, their outcome would be at the hands of Paradis in that case, they'd either annex them or make them a vassal state or whatever, Paradis can then quickly begin to improve & gather military/economic/social knowledge & attempt to evolve their whole civilization, seeing as Anti-Titan equipment technology has become very advanced, Paradis has to quickly look for solutions with the new resources it acquired.
    of course all of this would happen & at the same time, there would be various diplomatic talks & negotiations with other nations & political movements, like the Hizuru clan for example or whichever people Onyakopon comes from, Paradis would be advancing their tech & military & titan-power whilst securing valuable allies from around the world, & who knows, perhaps there could be various peace talks between the other world nations & Paradis, for example whilst Paradis are making their attack on Marley, the Mid-East Allied Forces would surely attempt negotiations for retrieving lost territories such as Fort Slava & also attempt to guarantee their independence by becoming allies to Paradis, a very powerful ally to have.
    all in all it'd literally be like what happened, & is happening, in the real world, all world superpowers are vigorously evolving their military/atomic tech & power, whilst having diplomatic talks always, the rumbling & anti-titan weaponry is just like nuclear warheads & military advancement IRL, & as we can see, there is no mass "omnicidal" world war going on, people who were oppressed by other people are quick to peace, economic & diplomatic negotiations right after they gain their independence, Algeria still resumed normal diplomatic ties with France even after being oppressed & conquered for 200 years, Afghanistan is currently looking to establish diplomatic ties with the USA, which had invaded them & caused them multiple injustices for the past years etc.
    I'm not saying Eren's choices didn't make sense, they did, he even said so himself, he's a "Gardener variety fool who got his hands on power", the story is valid, it just could've been better in my subjective opinion seeing as it's a fictional story, it doesn't need to try at being sad & depressing as if that is going to make it "realistic", at the end of the show I was like: "so this is it... all those episodes, all that time, 10 years just so Isayama could convey one message, that is War never changes, & Humanity is/can be morally grey"? I didn't need to follow a story just so i could get told something that is plain & obvious, I liked AoT because it was a special & engaging fictional story, not some political/social lecture about humanity. all in all, I've taken too long on this lol."

      Do you know how much labor it requires to build an entire battleship? The world fleet is enough evidence to imply the vastness of the population.
      TBH Isayama did fuck up with the lack of worldbuilding post-timeskip.
      It's really just quite hard to accept the ending when it requires me to view the world through the rosiest tinted glasses. Entire masses of people moving on from a genocide? IDK about that... Seems too idealistic for a story like AOT.

      @@blubblubblup Technologies indeed influence population if they exist, the example you give is accurate. But it is rarely/never vice versa. You see, (no offence towards them as I technically live in one as well) but a lot of third-world countries have massive growing population despite their somewhat mediocre infrastructure, facilities, etc. This proves that they do not grow together but rather the human resources' quality of one nation affects the development and that is what determines the technological development. Unless if we want to delve into the practical ways to improve that HR, then yes I can agree that technologies could be some use.
      But ya, I get people who just can't take the ending on the same light as I do. Although I don't think Isayama messed up big times at all, as the entire story is clearly a well-planned plot i.e. the timeline thingies. If anything, he altered the endings for whatever reason which I personally just accept, since anyway there's really no other possible ending except this one. I mean, an island of 1 million population as the last living humans would be off and that's not even a problem-solved. Not to mention, they're fascists/their supporters.
      Anyway, cool discussion. Hope to see more sharing in the future.

    I think you are a little confused people didn't like it because it ended very happy and change the messages of surpassing the sins of the father, bringing the children out of the dangers of the forest, the lengths people will go on the notion that being born into the world is enough for you to be free and the consequences of the cicle of hatred towards people that have not wronged you for a crappy love story on the last second and make the rest of the series completely pointless because nihilism and we are unable to learn

      Do clarify it for me if I misunderstood your point, but I think the series has done quite well on showing how one can "break the sin of the past" with Mikasa as the pivotal character here.
      Pretty sure the message the anime gives were pretty clear or at least to me and to to those contributed on the research I've made for this content. But yeah, the half-**sed love story is nothing else to say and I agree it's still one of the variable that irks people.

    its clear Aot was not made with the goal of having a message, it was supposed to be a character story but Isayama by his own admission changed the ending to make it more acceptable for his audience so they would like him more. We know this is true because the episodic version of Aot cut the final power point slideshow. Meaning that that slideshow is the only thing preventing the series from having the message "Genocide gives all your friends good lives and glory/power to your people and your nation". Its clear Isayama wanted a cheap out and he took it and in the end left with the most nothing statement of an ending that people go along with because they are just happy the series got an ending.

      I believe every form of literature bears a message, even if it's the most subtle one. As for AoT, the story is actually pretty well-prepared despite some changes made. The timeline thingies and everything are the sole proof of that. The characters did realize the nature of humanity and made their effort to prevent it (war and stuff) as well.
      But I've seen a handful of people did not comprehend the ending well, thus I wrote this and this content exists.

      the message of AOT is to not indoctrinate your children with the belief that they aren't good enough and love them unconditionally. That's the very obvious them in AOT. I don't know how you people miss that. "there is no message in AOT" my ass

      @@Utharion any piece of media has a message. But there is a difference between a Shakespearean story like Julius Caesar and a Brave New World. AoT was heading down the Shakespearean path of being a story about characters but the pivots at the end to make it a lesson that war dosent end. A theme so basic Arcane just says it in the trailer doing the same thing AoT did in 1 line.

    when you decided to make a story that isnt about political into political stuff.
    and your take is so wrong, the fact that Marleyan are the one who demonized Eldian, and the fact that Marleyan the one who make Eldian became pure titan to begin with.
    Marleyan dont want to come to peacful agreement, hence the rumbling, it's literally logical reason for Eren to do that, understanding the act what makes it logical.
    Eren himself said why he did the rumbling although he can't see beyond that, he want Eldian to kill him and make them heroes who stopped him, and even until the end Marleyan is ignorant and is still with their corrupted mind thinking that Eldian is the demon, when it is their goverment who did that to begin with.
    Marleyan didn't even realize that it is their goverment doing, and they are the one who faced the consenquences.
    Eren methode might be extreme, but it makes the Eldian and Marleyan united as one, this is just fantasy, not realities, doesnt need to be political.

      When you are faced between two countries eventually warring each other then it is political. It's way too undermining the entire conflict of this story if you refuse to see it in a political scope even though its one's freedom to see it however they want to, especially past season 2. Perhaps this topic isn't suited for you, if you find relating it to real life political stuff to be unnecessary. Despite being fiction, it is something that could've happened in real life in a much different form (since this only came from the author's fantasy). I've stated in another reply that Eren indeed had no choice, but he wasn't alone to begin with. He took it upon himself to settle everything according to him and the Yeagerist which I'm not surprised considering his entire character as unique anyway, it's in character. Consequently, the result which is also your conclusion is like the phrase "we made it, but at what cost?"
      I m o, the neutral ending is the best it could be for the story. There's no black and white and things as simple as you paid for what you've done as a whole/group. You don't get a super idealistic one where everyone's happy but you don't get a way too edgy/depressing one. But we get a message that conflicts appear as long as men exist, and there's no 100% fixed guarantee on solving that, but what they can do is try, diplomatically (Isayama wouldn't be adding Armin and friends' scene at the end if this wasn't for it I m o).
      But back at it again , one is entitled to their own opinion so it's fine.

But instead of thoroughly discussing it as a team, just like during the War Hammer arc, Eren acted according to his own eventually.
      I think it's just his nature to usually act this way and it's in character like I said. The story wouldn't have been this interesting if he wasn't himself too. Tbh, I still haven't really found any concrete solution that justifies the rumbling.
