    From another story:
    Bran thought about it. “Can a man still be brave if he’s afraid?”
    “That is the only time a man can be brave,” his father told him.
    This exchange from the A Song of Ice & Fire books have been engraved in my memory, and I always go back to it whenever I'm feeling anxious.

    firstly, AMAZING VIDEO. currently watching it a second time waiting on part two.
    I’d love to see a potential study on Reiner as a character, truly a character that despite his low points, I never stopped loving him.
    keep up the good work ofc!

    Amazing analysis! Jean is one of my favourites from AoT (for these reasons) and you've really done him justice here.
    Out of curiosity, what other characters are you thinking of making analyses of (I know you've mentioned Reiner and Eren)?
    But yeah, looking forward to everything!

    Watching you start covering Attack on Titan is exciting as I have just finished the main manga and is reading the "Lost Girls" manga right now. So can't wait for you to cover Annie Leonhart or Sasha Braus as they are some of my favorite characters from the series.
    Gabi Braun is also a character I hope you will cover as she her arc was something that touched me a lot.
    So MORE AoT videos please!

    Great video Lydi and Antonio! Jean, Connie and Sasha were always so interesting because they were the normal people. Everyone else around them was super powered or had some prophetical destiny. But those three, Jean in particular, were the real backbone of our heroes. Jean brought a human element to the story that would be missing if it was just Eren, Mikasa and Armin. And because he is just a normal guy it makes his accomplishments all the more impressive. He didn’t need superpowers to survive all the ordeals of the story. He was just that damned good.

    Totally watching this show now.
    Doing the right thing for selfish/negative reasons is such a unique arc, and a personally relatable one. I consciously chose to do the right thing as often as I can not because it’s simply the right thing, but typically because I don’t want to be a hypocrite. 😂
    Preemptive guilt, one could call it. If I know I’m going to regret not doing a thing it becomes easier to make an active decision. Case in point: an old friend of mine was going through some financial difficulties. I figured I’d throw in 25 bucks…and then wrestled with my conscience for half the night. So the next morning I put in another $475. Was that more altruistic or selfish? I genuinely don’t know.
