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

[Bunny Tracks]

Isn't pop culture fucking GREAT.

There is a lot to unpack in that paragraph, but I'm just gonna throw out the whole suitcase because this thread is about AoT, not TWD.

Anyway, there's ten days left until the final season drops. Ten days until Eren gets his head shot off by a twelve-year-old, and I get a new avatar.

You know, unless they censor it, and shit. Which I honestly wouldn't put past them at this point.

It really blows because Eren was actually a compelling and badass character for a while, but then Isayama turns him into a simp and a pussy.

Really weird too because I’ve always seen Eren and Mikasas relationship as a brother and sister type of bond, not a romantic one. Guess Isayama had to appeal to “those” people though.

I'm certain that Isayama originally intended for their relationship to be platonic, at least on Eren's side. Mikasa's feelings were blatant from the start, but Eren suddenly becoming a simp for her at the end and throwing a tantrum that he doesn't want her to love anyone else came out of fucking nowhere.

Wasn’t there a way to get to this point without Eren coming off as the most pathetic man in the world?

Also, Happy 200 pages! Spend 2022 listening to Linked Horizon to try and remember the days before the basement and the meltdowns.

Late, but yes.

If we're going by what Isayama most likely wanted to do at first, it was to have genocide be the actual solution. However, there was no fucking way his editors, and most likely, his publishers too, were going to let that happen considering how utterly massive AoT is and just how much WWII, Nazi-esque, and Japanese Imperialism imagery it contains. To have genocide be the solution, even with Eren "feeling bad" or dying, would entirely unacceptable because of all that.

If AoT just didn't include all that irl political shit, it probably could've been able to get away with it, but because Yams decided to include it, it made it fucking impossible for the genocide ending to work (disregarding it wouldn't even work if the series kept its realism but that's beside the point) without everyone involved looking like a clueless, racist, violent asshole.

It's basically like if a German series tried to do the same thing. It just wouldn't be a good look, bordering on concerning, and because saving face is everything over there, they pulled the plug immediately.

Another reason is possibly because Yams (if he was indeed playing 4d chess, which he actually might've been considering his interviews after the fact) wanted to turn Eren into a loser to smack some sense into all his unironic stans who thought that everything Eren was doing was correct, and there was no other way, and to truly hurt his readers because clearly what he was already doing wasn't working.

The only way to truly hurt them in the end was to just destroy the story. And considering at how a huge chunk of the fandom is still fucking absolutely seething about it, (especially Erenfags who have an absolute meltdown now at anyone who even remotely still enjoys the series, or just likes a character that isn't Eren, Floch, Historia, and sometimes Erwin) I think he managed to kill two birds with one stone.

Also, Happy 200 pages! Spend 2022 listening to Linked Horizon to try and remember the days before the basement and the meltdowns.

Lastly, Linked Horizon is not doing the OP this time.

It's by a band known as SiM, and the intro is called "The Rumbling", because I guess it's impossible to hide what's going to happen anymore considering the fallout the ending of the series created.

Man there has been little hype for the actual final season, like it really shows how bad that ending was since the season will start on Saturday. Can't wait for the minor differences the adaptation makes to be overblown for more copium though.

Part of me believes that's because every time someone tries show excitement for it, about a dozen Erenfags show up, and yell at them saying how much it's gonna suck, and that they're stupid for being excited for it.

I don't know how the final season's gonna go. Frankly, I hope MAPPA found a way to make it even worse.

It won't be that hard with how MAPPA overworks their animators and Isayama trying to micro-manage things

Eh, it’s fine. But everyone knows that LH did the OPs for the “best” parts of the series.

@Bunny Tracks There is the issue of Yams having made the Eldians into not!jews and jews have written if given a chance they will genocide all of the goyim. Which with the ending the editors forced on Yams, the remaining non-Eldian humans will eventually genocide the not!jew Eldians. So the either way his editors fucked up by not intervening sooner.

Its kind of sad but funny in a schadenfreude sort of way seeing the few anime purists and normalfags discussing the anime or people recommending it, talking about how promising or amazing the future arcs or ending are going to be and that its probably going to blow them away. Or talking about all their theories for the ending and upcoming arcs without realizing just how wrong they are. Such bitter innocence.

 

[DDBCAE CBAADCBE]

Eren gets 360° no-scoped by Gabi,

Literally the best part.

 

[Akumaten]

Never had I seen a bunch of men simp an anime male character so hard since Naruto.

I've witness it in real time during its run. People would bend over backwards for Itachi.

Really the best part is all the retards screeching about how there's going to be an anime only ending and how that's going to make everything better, and shit, and how it's gonna make it so Eren totally comes out on top in the end.

Unfortunately for them, according to the leaks going around, it's looking word-for-word the same thing as the manga. Even the bird, and tree part.

I can't wait till Sunday.

Considering more people follow the anime than the manga and refuse to hear or look at spoilers, I'm kind of eagerly awaiting the shitstorm that is soon to follow.

Hey, you never know. Maybe the anime will have Armin respond to Eren's incel rant with "lol fag."

I'm really looking forward to all the reactions over the weekend. The cope and seethe will flow once again. At the same time it's bothersome to revisit this universe.

 

[DDBCAE CBAADCBE]

So like, am I the only person on the planet who doesn’t completely hate this manga now?

Probably. Although most people have just moved on to other shit I'm assuming.

I wouldn't say I hate it. It's like a relationship that grew increasingly toxic until you broke it off after a shit storm. There are good times to remember, but ultimately the whole experience is rotten and ruined by how it ended. I read this series since it was scribbles. It's sad, unfortunate and hilarious that it turned out the way it did. I'd wager most don't hate it, but just acknowledge it went to shit in an over the top and undeniable way.

I think I can agree with that. I just wish things could go back to how they were when things first started. Those first 2-3 seasons/arcs.

Well the real moment when things get bonkers will be the moment that Eren's head is blown off since the sequence before that is pretty much what you'd expect from AOT.
