    The parallels in episode 5 are out of this world. We saw Eren's face light up and change when Willy mentioned that he doesn't want to die "because i was born into this world". Those are the exact same words Carla told Keith Shadis when he asked what was special about Eren back in Season 3. The parallel of it now being Reiner begging for mercy and not being able to do anything, while Eren finds himself in the same position that Reiner found himself in back in s1. As Eren said himself "i keep moving forwards until i destroy my enemies". He has no other choice but fight for Paradis's freedom and most importantly his own freedom.

    • @evanbell7825
      @evanbell7825 Před rokem +20

      There's a lot of ways to interpret it too. Most people think that eren's eyes reacted in that way because he's heard/experienced those words before, but another way to look at it is eren reacted that way because he's seen the future. He knows willy says that and when it's confirmed he reacts that way. I mean throughout the entire show, eren slowly comes to accept his fate by reaffirming occurences. For example, when sasha died, he asked what she said, and connie confirmed she said "meat." Another PRIME example is when Mikasa says they're family instead of admitting her love for him, that was his breaking point. While the first option could be right (eren just solely reacting to those words because he's heard them before) there's other ways to look at it. The more I've watched this show (especially the new Season 4 part 3 ep) I've realized that eren is a slave to his own fate, throughout the show he's begging and looking for another path, but everything just confirms that this was the only way

    @umunir20 Před rokem +322

    The fact that Eren reaches out for Reiner is so subtly beautiful in my opinion. As Eren mentioned, he sees himself the same as Reiner. He could've just transformed right there when Reiner was on his knees. But he helped him get up. Because now he knows what Reiner felt while killing all those people. As these videos are recorded ahead of time so there's no spoiler issue anymore. Eren has already seen and felt himself massacring the world. He knows how agonising it is even before committing the act. That's why he can relate to Reiner. Though it won't feel like that to Reiner, but Eren still thinks of Reiner in the same way. The older brother figure. That's why he chatted with him for so long before attacking. He kind of misses their friendship deep down. Only those two can understand one another. The sin of commiting genocide against their wishes. Eren helping Reiner up after that chat is letting Reiner know that he isn't alone and someone is there for him. But at the end of the day, both have different goals and the must fight. Like Bertholdt said, "you are my precious comrades. I also intend to kill you."

      I interpreted that scene a slightly differently, at this point eren knows he is going to destroy the place , kill a lot of people, innocent or otherwise, it's his first act of violence against people who he knows are innocent. So he is not only showing empathy to Reiner, he is trying to justify to himself what he is about to do, He wanted Reiner to tell him they had no other choice, he was practically pushing him to say it, so that he can justify that he doesn't have any choice either. Eren looks shocked when Riener tells him that there was a way, they could have turned back after Marcel was eaten.

    About the discussion at the end, in my opinion, them stating they wouldn't start the rumbling would have no affect whatsoever. Everyone learned about the rumbling in this episode, so then, why were the Eldians treated like trash before? Why are they called devils? How would they even prove they wouldn't unleash the rumbling? It was just one of the many excuses the outside world hides behind to hate on the Eldians and make their lives hell. They are afraid of what they can't understand and can't even comprehend that THEY are the ones turning these poor people into titans. Who the heck thinks Eldians would want to turn into pure titans or turn their own people into them? Paradis here is fighting to survive, because they have no other choice, because the world has already made up its mind, because nothing they could say would change their approach, and because they declared war first with a representative from everywhere around the world. And Eren feels he has no choice but destruction, that it's either Paradis or the rest of the world, because he has not been able to see one glimpse of hope for their future all those years. And it hurts me.😭😭

    • @marocainforlife
      @marocainforlife Před 5 měsíci

      What people learned was that the rumbling threat was a lie but they did know about it. For a hundred years the world had to live in the fear that at any moment thousands of colossal titans could be unleashed to flatten the world. In our world even the super closed off and dangerous country that is North Korea make you feel like it can be reasoned with because they keep contact with the rest of the civilisation.
      Paradis was completely closed off, of course people would start to feel paranoid when the last message for a 100 years from a super dangerous nation is a threat. Add to that the previous 1800 years of atrocities from them and the 100 years from Marley and it's completely understandable.
      No matter how nice you are towards Eldians, no matter how much you or they themselves think of them as friends and allies, you only need the whims of a single king to have them transform into giant man-eating monsters.

    11:07 Hypocrisy of Willy Tybur "But I do not wish to die. And that is because I was born into this world".
    Eren always believed that Freedom is everyone's birth right and now Marley just wants to wipe out Paradis and take away their right to even live. Marley and the Tybur family just without any question deemed people of Paradis as evil and believed that they should be wiped out before they get chance to get the power to defeat others. That is why Eren's eyes widened in this scene.
    Marley talks about saving the world but in reality they just want to steal the power of founding titan and ice burst stone resources. Marley wanted to maintain their absolute power throughout the globe. After when the technology had advanced enough, Marley would commit their own genocide over the Eldians enslaved in Marley as they would have lost their use.

    So really pay attention to Tybur's speech. It's not just the fact that Eren is unpredictable. They need a scapegoat they need an enemy for the world to hate. He's using the island devils and Eren as a misdirect so people will forget that he just told them that the Tyburs and Marley have lied to them this whole time. This whole time they thought the Tyburs and Marley banned together to chase King Fritz and his followers to the island when it was really King Fritz who wanted peace and came up with this plan for Marley and the Tyburs with the false hero Helos. Right after he revealed that people in the audience started questioning whether or not the people on the island are devils, meaning if he had just taken accountability for it all there could be a peaceful talk but instead he chose to pretend to take accountability while gaining sympathy because they have been fighting against a lunatic named Eren who is unpredictable and stole the female titan and colossal from them and wants to stomp the world out. He did a political switcharoo. Yeah i lied to you BUT there are actual BAD GUYS over there so it's not like we're completely wrong for trying to fight them.

    It's hilarious... from rewatching this, I just realized. AoT and GoT have so many parallels, but AoT just really succeeds by really following the narrative. Eren going mad and burning the world down is pretty much exactly Daenerys' Mad Queen path, but literally the whole show is about this one moment where Eren is so ready to forgive, but everything that's happened to him and that's happening politically won't let him. He only has one real choice, kill them all. He can't give up, he can't just lay down and die so everyone continues to be oppressed or used as a war tool.

    • @michaelcus734
      @michaelcus734 Před rokem

      Absolutely! Danearys' path to madness felt rushed, and it ruined her character for me. Though there were subtle hints coming to it, the execution transitioning her to madness was done in such a way her actions felt unjustified. I absolutely hated the last season as a result and ruined one of the best characters in fiction for me. Eren's decision felt so justified you just can't help feeling tempted to support his actions even though through a wide scope, it is a terrible action. The tragic path of Eren was set up and executed so perfectly, that we cannot fathom with the thought of disliking Eren though his actions are so despicable. He is the perfect embodiment of love and hate at the same time. All his actions are justified for the love and hope for his people yet the hate and dolm for the world for persecuting and taking away the freedom of his people.

    He also got harassed by people for the very next episode… which he didn’t work on… to the point where he deleted his twitter account.

    even though we only had few marley-centric episodes, it's enough to be able to empathize with its people especially the eldians trapped in liberio. because imagine if we went straight to eren attacking them in s4 without knowing what we know now, we'd just be blindly cheering him on because we would see this as revenge for what they all went through in paradis.

    From the first chapter they show you how traumatized Eren is by the death of his mother, and this is seen until the end, and that trauma turns into an even greater hatred for all the friends he is losing over time in front of him. from his eyes helplessly. Then finding out that those titans are actually people forced to become those monsters by people outside the island is another reason to hate them even more. Unfortunately, the humans never wanted to reach an agreement, they simply decided to eliminate them all, something that Eren again cannot let go. You can't let them rule over your life again, that once again take away your options, your freedom. I get it, unfortunately his friends don't..

    @MrEnvisioner Před rokem +4

    Another interesting detail I just realized about this episode that helps to foster debate and confusion: Eren begins his transformation BEFORE the declaration of war, but it's timed such that he actually completes the transformation and starts his attack AFTER the declaration of war. Therefore, anyone watching can debate whether Eren did or did not properly wait for a formal declaration of war before launching a pre-emptive counterattack. Eren is surely taking the initiative here, but whether or not he is justified according to international politics is riiiiiight on the border of what's permissible.

They have enough knowledge of titans that they are aware that the founding Titan can control everything, and they know that the founding Titan isn't within the royal family anymore. There isn't anything they could do to fix the problem of the initial attack, but Marley had the ability to propose a truce revolved around using the founding titan to free all Eldians from their ability to turn into titans, thus making everyone equal. I came up with that plan in two seconds. It wouldn't have taken Marley very long to think about it, but they dismissed any notion of that in favor of exterminating them.
      Dont forget, they weren't in favor of the euthanization plan, they just wanted to exterminate the Paradisans. There's a reason why Zeke didn't bring that option up to the military: he knew they weren't going to go for it. They wanted violent extermination to get rid of them and use their island for resources, not to let their people slowly die out in peace. Zeke was a rebel against Marley too.

    This episode of AoT has so many parallels with the GoT episode Winds of Winter. Despite being one of the few good GoT episodes after S4, AoT pulls it off even better and in 1/3 of the runtime.
    Eren’s ‘entrance’ to Marley is built up with the same level of tension and intrigue in GoT that culminated in Cersei blowing up the Sept of Baelor and those due to sentence her. While being one of the first times we question Eren’s moral compass for the killing of innocents, the sequence of events that unfold to reveal the malevolent scheme at hand have such a righteous tone to them that feels so much more impactful than Cersei’s vengeful retribution arc.
    By the end of GoT we learn Cersei will burn a lot of things to the ground, Jon Snow has a queen and knows nothing (like some weird allegory on the life of a worker ant), and some punk kid’s story of succumbing to paralysis later combined with psychic abilities is apparently peak compelling storytelling (while somehow weirdly also being completely derivative of Professor X or Mr Glass in Unbreakable). AoT engaged with similar plot devices, but as an anime was yet so much more relatable, on what it had to say about things like inter-generational trauma, ethnic persecution and history’s cyclical nature.
