    Yeah, I feel you. But that's the thing tho - his motives aren't even fully acknowledged by the audience even when Eren himself explicitely tells us what they are. That is the true genius of how Isayama warps our perception of the protagonist.

    Yeah, he adds this layer of nuance in these characters through a moral greyzone which is quite simple in theory but in practice makes it impossible to categorize these characters as simply good or bad. All of them have done immoral things but they also have valid motives to do so, so the writer is challenging you to pick a side, with none of them being objectively better than the other, and this is amplified to its highest level with the protagonist, which makes it even harder since we've followed this man for 8 years in the anime

    Grisha can only see specific memories, handpicked by Eren. That's why he pleads "why won't you show me everything?"

    Yeah, I agree. I feel like ppl who talk s*** on AoT don't really grasp the concepts at play.

    Really like these eps of aot that are pretty confusing (Season 3 eps 8 and some season 4 pt 1 eps) but really put things into perspective. Though they're in different situations i find it wild how grisha's sister got eaten alive by dogs and he never killed anyone besides the royal family and he didn't even want to do that. But eren caught bodies at 9 and never even cared.

    Ah ok. I hope the story concludes with this season. I've seen some ppl say they're gonna conclude it with a film - which would mean another long wait.

    Nah ive already decided im reading the manga after this season, gonna cop the last volumes starting from volume 30 which i think covers these chapters and then ill complete the series. If manga readers were shook by these episodes regardless of having already read the source material and knowing the events, the movie is for sure gonna hit even if ive read the ending, especially if im watching it in theatres with my friends

    I mean, for some people watching shows is just a way to pass time and not a passion so i can see them not wanting to actively engage in what they're experiencing, but discussing what you're collectively experiencing is so fun so i agree, having a weekly wait between the episodes further enhances this imo

    Ymir backstory next episode and start of rumbling after? Then Levi return?

  • Every season of AoT has that one moment that makes you backtrack everything to find for some clues. Annie, Reiner & Bertholdt, basement and this is no different.
