A little known fact about The Vile Eye is that he's actually the funniest person on CZcams. Proof: "Hello, everyone," syncing up to the characters in question
We did Johan, we did Eren and now we need Char. The world needs to know the evils born from mommy issues.
Eren is a great example of how to write a protagonist who, as the plot progresses more and more, becomes a villain. Watch and learn, Guilty Crown!
Eren is a great example of " You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain" going from vowing to kill every titan to beign the one who ordered the rumbling was so chilling but so well written. One of the best anime characters of the last decade. You're amazing vile. Keep up the Great work
Eren had issues even before his mother was eaten. The kid had an uncontrollable anger and temper. We’ve seen it when he fought against bullies that picked on Armin where even after the bullies ran away and the adults restrained him Eren tried to continue fighting them like a wild animal. He never knew when to stop and while he grew more calculating and calm over time his bloodlust only continued to grow and his mercy less so.
Eren Yeager is one complex anime character that is both victim of the world and a mass murder. Free yet not free. And he is neither good nor evil. But keeps moving forward.
This is all so flawed. The king renounced war. Period. Marley knew that but for whatever reason decided to keep pushing and keep fighting, which eventually caused the rumbling. Imagine if we all thought like that and decided we needed to bomb every country that has nuclear weapons. Thats just stupid and insane. Also if you watch the ending, both the anime and manga, even without titans, people are still waging war. Even pre titan with king fritz, he was still bloody and cruel. The only thing i took away from this is humans going to human and that their racism is horrible and lead to their destruction. If you treat people kindly and dont wage war, then war wont happen. Ever heard of dont awaken a sleeping giant?
Incredibly written character. Hard to make someone simultaneously sympathetic and relatable, and irredeemably evil
Eren answers the ancient question of: “Would you destroy the world to save your family?”
"Even so, its the little things that make life worth living: a mothers smile, a game of catch with your father, the laughs you share with your friends, and everything else in between. the world is not ugly because of the misery that can be found within it, its beautiful despite it all." this resonated with me quite profoundly and was such a beautiful line of words. love your videos man, keep doin what you do.
The fact eren didnt discuss this with his friends before and worked together is a callback to the forrest with levi squad.
One caveat I think is significant to this thought process is that Eren did not just see the future, he became untethered to localization in time. It wasn't just that he knew what Yimir's end plan was, it was that he was simultaneously living through every moment of the plan. He may have been misrepresenting his condition, but his experience of it was that the rumbling was already happening, just as Mikasa was already killing him, just as he was already apologizing to his friends, just as he was already sending Dina to eat his mother, just as he was already fighting Reiner and Bert at the wall, just as he was already convincing his dad to steal the founder's power. There wasn't, in his explanation, a point to make a decision as he was reduced to a role with the appearance of personhood upon gaining such immense, godly power. The titan's possessed him, not the other way around, hence his inability to use their power, as shown in the first season, unless his personal "will" aligned with the nature of the attack titan and the founder's intentions.
This series had endless Analyzing Evil potential
Eren Yeager is one of the most intriguing characters from the last decades and it's so cool to see you finally cover him. Bravo!
Now that you've done Eren, you've got to do Zeke next! I think he's a very interesting kind of evil.
"If we kill all our enemies, will we be free?"
I always thought attack on titan represented growing up in the world. Eren character goes from woefully ignorant, to passionately Dedicated, to realizing heart only goes so far, and there are those that are already at the finish line when your just starting, and they can beat you unless you do what many of us aren’t capable of…. The unthinkable
The thing about eren is that what he does always makes sense. The reason he doesn’t consult with his friends/comrades about what to do with the founding titan could lead back to season 1 when he trusted his allies (the Levi squad) and it backfired horribly. Eren was taught early on that taking matters into your own hands is the best way to move forward.
From what I understood, Eren went along with the future that he saw because deep down it's what he wanted. He says to Ramzi that he "Was disappointed" when he learned that Humanity outside the walls hadn't perished. and that he "Wanted to wipe it all away". He even admits to Armin at the end in both the Anime and Manga versions that he wanted to do it. Yes he didn't have real free will, not because Ymir or his Titans were controlling his actions, t because him seeing his own future determined that it would happen. Which is why he says to Armin in the Anime "20% is all you manage to save, it's already been determined." He began living through the Future that he saw, and because it aligned with his desires he couldn't bring himself to change it. He says "It's true that the death toll on Paradis would be a fraction of the world" whilst he's contemplating whether he's right or wrong, but then comes to the conclusion "I just couldn't accept an end like that". Destroying the World, Seeing "that sight", saving his friends and saving his people. The reason he couldn't change the future is that he couldn't bring himself to go against his own Nature. "I've been this way since birth", "If someone tries to take my Freedom, I won't hesitate to steal theirs."
