All the Levi simps moved to Eren 😭😭😭😭

I was just wondering why this happened.

I find it so real how people are comparing the two of the most simped for overpowered side characters from two of the most popular shonen anime's.

And they r physical opposites of eachother

(White hair, black hair)

Short king vs tall king

I wanted to know your opinion on who do you think is a better character or who is more well written?

We’ll celebrate Day of the dead in a few hours here in Mexico. And I thought that after so many years of being a copium addicted Jaegerist I should at last put the two GOATS in my altar.

How do you think Levi Ackerman and Annie Leonhart differ?

They both are badass quiet and strong individuals who have very similar personality traits.

They are also both typed as ISTP

Can someone give me a detailed personality analysis on how they are similar and how they are different?

Thanks

I mean, i know Eren didn't do the Rumbling only for protecting Paradis and his friends, he also wanted his freedom and revenge, but protecting the most important thing to him were a big part of his motivations. But his best friends decided to kill him to protect their enemies. Literally the people that wanted them dead and hated them even after the ending of Eldian Empire. Paradis spent 100 years minding their own business and doing no warm, but the rest of the world kept on hating them and refused any peace negotiations.

All the plans Armin and the rest had failed and the Rumbling were their only way of surviving, but they had decided to kill Eren to protect the enemies and after they did it, they thanked Eren because they noticed that his actions will benefit them. For me it sounds like hypocrisy and a big betrayal. They ended up supporting the Rumbling, going against all the fake morals they showed just because it was good for them. They should have supported it since the beginning in my opinion. In that world, it was kill or be killed logic. All of the rest is futile and I can't imagine someone facing so much trauma just to feel so empathetic towards the enemy that literally 5 minutes before the Rumbling were still attacking them.

Just finished the finale, and overall, I’d say the ending was solid—better than I expected, especially given how hated it is. That said, a few tweaks could’ve made it hit harder for me. Here’s what I would’ve changed:

Levi and Mikasa’s Deaths:

Levi was in rough shape by the end, so it would’ve made sense if his final burst of strength somehow went toward killing Zeke. It would’ve been a fitting send-off—completing his final order and reuniting with Erwin in the afterlife, just like Hange did. Also Hange told Armin he was Levi's commander now, what if before the battle Levi was told by Armin he'd focus on killing Zeke or something? That would've been a cool parallel to Erwin's conversation with Levi at Shiganshina and it would've been awesome to see Armin finally filling the boots of the commander by telling Levi what to do and Levi trusting his judgement. His character was always driven by loyalty to his comrades and fulfilling Erwin's orders, so this ending could've been a perfect, emotional farewell for one of the series' most beloved characters, and it would've given the final battle so much more weight.

Similarly, Mikasa’s death after killing Eren would’ve made sense thematically. Her entire journey revolved around Eren, so being with him in the afterlife could’ve given her true closure. Her grave could have been placed next to his beneath the tree, with Armin visiting it. This change also would’ve aligned with Armin’s narration from Season 1, where he seemed to be the lone survivor telling the story. While the ending hints she may end up with Jean, the show never really portrays her reciprocating his feelings, and Mikasa doesn't even seem that important to Jean. Given her obsession with Eren—and Jean’s boat scene about looking good for girls reading history books—it felt unrealistic for her to develop romantic chemistry with anyone else.

I’m not exactly sure how her death could’ve been written—having her take her own life might’ve felt unsatisfying to some, though I think it could’ve worked. Perhaps she could have succumbed to the Colossal Titan’s heat while reaching Eren’s nape, with their bodies found together when the Titan dematerialized. Even if I can't come up with the perfect scenario, I’m sure Isayama could’ve written something fitting and meaningful.

Mikasa Freeing Ymir Felt Random:

I didn’t fully understand how Mikasa was supposed to be the one to free Ymir. Was it just by killing Eren, who was controlling her by that point? The twist felt random and not as well-developed/alluded-to as it could’ve been—it would’ve been nice if it had been foreshadowed more clearly.

Missed Opportunities in the Credits:

It would’ve been great to see Connie finally reuniting with his mom and Reiner somehow moving on from Historia after the timeskip, it kinda sucked to hear him still in love with her years later on the boat. Reiner didn’t have any romantic development with anyone else, but maybe Pieck could’ve ended up with him since they were both comrades—though that wouldn’t have felt very satisfying without more buildup in Season 4. These small moments could’ve tied up their arcs nicely, showing how they got to live futures Eren would’ve dreamed of.

Falco and Gabi also deserved a scene showing their life after the Rumbling, it would've been cool to see them after the time skip as adults too. Given how much focus they had in season 4—and Falco’s confession to Gabi—it felt weird not to get closure. Falco was finally free of the Jaw Titan and could’ve lived a long life with Gabi, but we never even found out if Gabi’s feelings were mutual (I think we were supposed to assume they were but it wasn't explicit). Why not show them living together or starting fresh?

Hallucigenia Was Underwhelming:

The Hallucigenia was hyped up as this god-like, Lovecraftian threat, but nobody even died fighting it. For how dangerous it was made out to be, the fact that the whole cast survived felt a little too neat. There should’ve been a heavier price to pay for stopping the Rumbling, adding more weight to the final battle, at the very least Reiner should've paid the ultimate price and redeemed himself for breaking down the walls all those years ago.

Despite those nitpicks, I still think it's an amazing show, and I did like the ending—especially the scene with the boy wandering into the tree. The finale nailed a lot of things, but these changes could’ve given certain characters the send-offs they deserved.

What do you guys think?

Basically, at the time Dina had eaten Carla, Grisha only had the Attack Titan. So if Eren manipulated Grisha into killing the Reiss family and getting the Founding Titan.
However, how can Eren control Dina AT THAT TIME when he had neither of the Titans, nevermind having the Founding who actually has the power of controlling Eldians and Titans, nor was any of the previous Attack Titan Shifters had any influence with the incident of his mom??

How far does this 'timeless' power go into the future and the past? Does it only happen within the lifetimes and along the inheritance path of the Titan? Does it go from the beginning of time to the end of times?? If it is the latter, could he not guide Ymir to not let the pigs go in the name of 'FreeDom'?

*Sheldon Cooper* I need answerssss!

Me [f15] and my sister[f17] first watched the series in the beginning of the year/spring. I had known of the series but neither of us had ever watched any anime (ghibli doesn’t count in this discussion) and we were having a jolly ol’ time.

We finish it and both really liked it. Flash forward, I start reading Reddit posts about how the ending was bad and all that. Although I don’t agree with much/haven’t set my opinion, I will refrain from expressing any because that is not the point of the post.

We decided to do a rewatch and are now at episode 16 of s3. I try to talk about how the time skip ruined a bunch of stuff but she’s not accepting it.

I’m open to opinions; She, not that much. So what I ask is for someone to list at least a few of the problems with a bit of explanation (or more) and we can dissect on our own from there.

Thank you

Many say that Simon from Adventure Time is similar to John and I agree, but for me a character who is much more like John is Grisha, not only in appearance but in terms of his marital life and his two children. Everyone knows that Grisha favored Eren more than Zeke, the same with Lennon, who favored Sean much more than Julian. John married twice, like Grisha, and paid much more attention to his second son, also like Grisha. I respect Lennon as an artist but I recognize that he had many flaws and he was trying to make amends for his sins before his death, just like Grisha. by no means do I want to sound disrespectful, but I found these similarities to be very strong and wanted to share.

thoughts?

Is it just me, or is Mikasa’s journey in Attack on Titan the most tragic irony of the series? 💔

Mikasa had always been Eren's ultimate protector, putting her life on the line for Eren time and time again. From saving him from kids in Shiganshina to kidnappers to fighting Titans, her fierce loyalty is what defined her especially more so after understanding the ackerman curse. The gut-wrenching (yet somehow beautiful) moment when she’s forced to take Eren's life? That hits differently.
Who's journey do you believe was the most tragic?

How does one even come up with this conclusion? i see people saying this when there are threads/videos praising the studio when it comes to AoT

Do they not realize Isayama was the one that approved everything, from the artstyle to how they directed the scenes, the man had full creative control over the damn show and people have the damn audacity to shit on the studio that directed a masterpiece of a very VERY mediocre early manga adaption, everything from the story was above average at best and season 1 was turned into a masterpiece

the same people that complained about how some of the scenes don't directly copy 1:1 from the manga don't realize isayama either added or removed some of the aspects from the manga, like when eren turned into a flame/magma looking titan at the end of season 1, don't realize that it was simply isayama's input.

TLDR: Nothing goes in the studio without the approval of the author,

Example: promised neverland season 2 everything was changed because of the author, and the series went from 100 to 0.

For me it was Reiner, his development caught me off guard, especially learning about his dual identity crisis and the guilt he carries as a Warrior. At first I just expected him to be a straightforward antagonist, but he turned out to be one of the most complex and broken characters, thats why you got to love Aot's character writing, all characters just feel soo human and make decisions that any of us could end up making

I had almost forgotten that piece of trash that is the ending until today a friend decided to discuss it with me again and it reminded me why I hate it so much. It is not even only the final chapters but a lot of things that make me hate it and hate the conclusion.

Floch, often simplistically labeled as an "extremist psychopath," deserves a deeper analysis. His characterization is a direct product of severe trauma: he was the sole survivor of a suicide mission that decimated his comrades and commander. His subsequent actions, although extreme, are motivated by clear logic: becoming the necessary "devil" to ensure Paradis's survival. His radical stance is a direct response to the real threat of extinction that his people face, considering that the outside world demonstrates relentless hatred against the Paradis.

The hypocrisy of Armin and Hange manifests on various levels. As military leaders, they choose to risk the genocide of their own population to prevent the genocide of the rest of the world - a morally questionable decision, especially considering the absence of a viable alternative plan. The "fifty-year plan" they defend offers no definitive solution, merely postponing the inevitable conflict and keeping Paradis as a future target. The moral contradiction of their positions is outraging: they consider one genocide (of Paradis) acceptable while condemning another (of the outside world), even when the latter group repeatedly demonstrated their intention to exterminate them and refused any attempts of negotiations.

Armin's hypocrisy is particularly notable. He presents himself as a defender of peace, but his own history includes acts of genocide in Liberio. More seriously, when he discovers that Eren's genocide will benefit his objectives, he not only thanks his friend but also appropriates the role of hero. His transformation into a pacifist diplomat conveniently ignores his own history of violence and his previous support for the partial Rumbling - essentially, genocide on a smaller scale.

The failures in personal relationships are equally problematic. For four years after Eren glimpsed the future, both Armin and Mikasa failed to notice or address their closest friend's evident suffering or why he was acting weird. The ease with which they accepted the possibility of betrayal suggests a superficiality in their friendship. Mikasa's reaction to Eren's harsh words ("I hate you scene) demonstrates a profound inability to understand someone she lived with for years, never questioning the motives behind his change in behavior.

Armin's behavior is particularly contradictory: he, who always advocated for dialogue even with declared enemies like Bertholdt, quickly resorts to violence against his best friend when he hurts Mikasa. This impulsive reaction reveals a fundamental inconsistency in his principles and suggests a failure to truly understand Eren.

Eren ended up with no clear reasons why he did what he did, the fact that he says he doesn't know makes no sense at all. And also the 80% Rumbling makes equallity no sense, it didn't solve the conflict and everything he has done was for nothing. He only cries about stupid Mikasa, someone he never showed any romantic feelings and is clearely someone only obsessed with him, that could never even understand the man she claimed to love. She couldn't realize the pressure he had on his shoulders after he Saw the future. She couldn't realize he was in a imense amount of conflito and suffering. And Mikasa also has no substance or contribution to the entire story. And the fact that was she who was supposed to free Ymir makes no sense. They have nothing in common and only the fact that Ymir loved King Fritz is ridiculous and is one more thing that makes no sense. Plus, it was clear that Eren had freed Ymir before.

The story's ending validates Floch's concerns: Paradis ends up being bombed, proving that the "peace" achieved by Armin and the pacifists was illusory and temporary. The only real peace came through Eren's partial genocide, which left the world temporarily unable to retaliate. Ironically, the self-proclaimed heroes who prevented the complete genocide are themselves genocides and war criminals, a contradiction that the narrative never adequately resolves.

Ultimately, Floch emerges as the only character truly consistent in his convictions, willing to sacrifice everything for his people's survival. Meanwhile, the supposed heroes of the story reveal themselves as hypocrites who betrayed not only their closest friend but also their own people, in the name of questionable moral idealism that reflects neither the reality of human nature nor the complexities of the world they live in.

I am sorry If I put something wrong, it has been a while since I touched AOT and there might be things I don't remember well.

I don't think the story explores much this view that the "humans" must have of the Eldians, that, for "some reason", the Gods must have punished these people, turning them and their children into giant cannibal monsters. Maybe the humans think the ancient Eldians must have performed demonic rituals, a pact with the devil in order to gain the power of the 9 Titans, and the 13 years curse is a consequence of that, along with the other Eldians themselves being sacrificed to be tuned into Titans, not to mention the death and destruction this results in the rest of the world.

I think the story mainly focuses on the "pragmatic" racism and hate the rest of the world has for the Eldians after having suffered in their hands, literally, for 2000 years. It would have been interesting to explore this belief by the majority of the humans that the problem with the Eldians isn't just a "condition", where they may turn into Titans if exposed to titan spinal fluid, but that they are literally a cursed people, and so, not only they want to have nothing to do with this curse, but if they don't want to become slave to them again they have to get rid of them while they can.

Maybe, if one of the young warrior candidates, like Zofia or Udo, were a devoted religious follower, the story could have developed this aspect of how the Eldians are seen as cursed for real.

Vinland saga x AOT

Is it only me who feels like mappa kinda has ‘same face syndrome’ don’t get me wrong I love the style but they made all the characters have the same face with different hairstyles imo compared to wit who made the characters unique? Idk how to explain this well but I hope whoever sees this understand lol
