Attack on Titan Griefing Thread - >tfw even your VA thinks that you're a loser

[Secret Asshole]

Lots of people are still really attached to it. To me, it is pretty much like GoT, except it fumbled WAY earlier. I've been laughing at it for awhile and the most recent chapter is kind of hilarious in how simply they take down Eren. Its basically the Arya moment with the Night King, especially if you consider Armin a Gary-Stu. Is Armin anyone's favorite character, really?

 

[Samson Pumpkin Jr.]

This anime has become a clusterfuck. I'm pretending it ended around chapter 70 where I stopped, except wanting The Rumbling to happen. Just end the series with 20 minutes of epic music and scenes of civilization being destroyed with a final cut on eren's titan face. There aren't enough tragedies in US animation and they seem to be giving this promising series the GoT treatment.

You just don't like the first world war. This new season is the best. I haven't read the manga but I know it's gonna be epic and you just have a personal grudge against anything coming from that era like back mounted armoured machine guns on a cart.

He's Isayama's favorite character.

 

[Permuto]

I already mentioned this but both Armin and Eren are Hajime's self inserts, he subtly admitted to it during an interview. They're probably both his favorite character but he has enough self awareness to hide that much at least.

Interesting writeup about Armin from /r/titanfolk:


Also the shipper schizos are going overdrive:

That entire Armin write-up has a good point about a few things, but man, does it feel like this guy just really hated Armin. Not to mention he gets a lot of things just blatantly wrong (Armin doesn't have a backstory? What?).

 

[Fat Tub of Lard]

As fucked up as this is apparently sounding, I will give them this over GoT: at least they tried to build up Eren as a villain (even if it was apparently done poorly), rather than making him into a full-on villain for no goddamn reason whatsoever.

Armin was fine, the problem is the change of everything. they should have fought some evil titan instead of going full axis powers.

The anime doesnt do that... Erin is still the good guy fighting the whole world.

Is Armin anyone's favorite character, really?

I mean, out of everyone alive right now? Yeah, kinda. Next to Pieck, I guess. He's the only character besides her that still has a braincell. Honestly, the bar has been set so low that the term favorite character doesn't mean anything anymore to me when it comes to this series. All it takes to get that title anymore is to just at least try to get shit done while not being a crying idiot, or self-righteous, sadistic cunt about it.

Not to mention his hopelessly idealistic "I was born to run up this hill" speech was incredibly endearing, and refreshing in a world full of nihilistic, fatalistic, cynical douchebags.

 

[Secret Asshole]

Well, here's hoping the anime avoids the direction the manga is going in and keeps Eren that way

*says this as in a future episode he randomly beats the shit out of Armin and says Mikasa was trash because she's a slave*

How is Eren portrayed as a good guy in the anime when his destruction of Libero is treated like a tragedy, everyone in the show is afraid of him, and how he antagonizes others. He is framed as someone not clearly well mentally or that should be seen as a hero.

they cried 2 times about them killing humans, that was all. everyone was always afraid of him and he was always at odds with the government.

He is framed as someone not clearly well mentally or that should be seen as a hero.

He is framed like that by characters inside the story. they act like total dicks to their allies and they dont care about people.
Eren is the only main character who wants to fight and not be slaughtered like an animal.

Did you not see the whole dragged out segment of all those regular citizens being killed that was portrayed clearly as a tragic event and not seen as heroic at all especially with the music choice and focusing on the point of view of Falco and Gabi.

Eren literally just gave ammunition to the entire world in their decision to wipe out the Island, forced his allies by association by sneaking off to another country than taking advantage of a naive kid to get them to rescue him cause he knew how valuable he is. Also the way it was framed by the anime made those characters look like they were in the right especially with Eren's whole scene with Hanji where he acts like he can escape prison any time he wants which is portrayed in a dark light. His intentions are good, but doesn't mean he is a hero, there are plenty of clear cut villains who have sympathetic or well-intentioned motives. Eren is clearly one of those types of villains which is good, but to say he is a hero is just ignorant.

But we have seen who made the decision to hide behind a human shield. Falco and Gabi are also war crazy lunatics who cared more about being beaten than about their families.

We saw to many people training to attack the island before this happened to have any impact. we also saw that Eren had already infiltrated their army.

forced his allies by association by sneaking off to another country than taking advantage of a naive kid to get them to rescue him cause he knew how valuable he is.

we saw how his allies infiltrated everything before and its not clear who realy is in charge,.

Also the way it was framed by the anime made those characters look like they were in the right especially with Eren's whole scene with Hanji where he acts like he can escape prison any time he wants which is portrayed in a dark light

He could escape but he rather stays in prison than to start a civil war. thats heroic and not evil.

His intentions are good, but doesn't mean he is a hero, there are plenty of clear cut villains who have sympathetic or well-intentioned motives. Eren is clearly one of those types of villains which is good, but to say he is a hero is just ignorant.

Hanji is the well motivated person who turns slowly into the bad guy.

You clearly ignore Falco's character since he is one of the few characters we see in Marley who is more open to understanding Paradis and is only working hard to be a warrior just because he doesn't want Gabi to become one both because he has a crush on her and Reiner encouraged him to. Hell Falco is more open to being nice to the island dwellers, to act like both he and Gabi are the same character is really disingenuous.

We saw to many people training to attack the island before this happened to have any impact. we also saw that Eren had already infiltrated their army.

Yes but Eren just only solidified the world's biases by creating chaos and falling for obvious bait that was meant to provoke him to attack. Also his allies only infiltrated things for the attack on Marley only because Eren told him he was there by surprise which is even why he was imprisoned in the first place.

He could escape but he rather stays in prison than to start a civil war. thats heroic and not evil.

Eren escapes really quickly, 4 chapters after he was just put in Prison and then immediately goes out of his way to antagonize people with his fanatic fanboys who go around attacking military officials and turning the civilians against anyone who is against Eren.

Hanji is the well motivated person who turns slowly into the bad guy.

Clearly the person who is incompetent at managing a military group and inefficient is clearly the bad guy over the overtly genocidal man with god powers and literal brown-shirts following him.

Anime Eren understands one simple rule that is time is not on Paradis' side. Thanks to Titan Cancer and rest of the world being schizo tech despite most of being pre-WWI is still more then capable of killing every everyone on Paradis.

All this rage and shit posting aside. We can all agree that The soundtrack will always be straight bangers.
What's you favourite?

Youseebiggirl's version of Vogel im Kafig. Best moment of the anime, best song of the anime.

how reiner thought it would go.

R: HEY EREN I'M ACTUALLY THE ARMOURED TITAN AND HE'S THE COLOSSAL TITAN
E: damn that's cool.

I still find that real to be really cool since it was given in the most mundane way ever than the bombastic shit happens when they actually transform.
