  • @Alex918YT
    @Alex918YT Рік тому +8

    I’ve actually have this idea for a fan-rewrite of this series wherein Phos is given a companion to help curb their destructive behavior and is able to help find a purpose through their new friend. All this to pose the “what if” of them having someone to lean on from the very start and what kinds of choices they would’ve made if they had been influenced by someone whom they trusted and was always by their side. Been wanting to do it for a while, but haven’t gotten around to it.

    • @SpyRole
      @SpyRole  Рік тому +3

      Go for it! Phos had many chances to turn away, but he always chose to go down his destructive path. Would be interesting to see your interpretation of the "what if" scenario and how the story would unfold.

  • @youbetterstanloona6717
    @youbetterstanloona6717 Рік тому +14

    All of the characters development is intricately done, but especially Phos. Their development is the type that would make you anticipate of the unknown, where they currently are in the manga leaves you clutching in any piece of hope you have and even if you try not to do it, you can't help but anticipate for the worst for our main protagonist.
    It is both a sad and beautiful story, as Phos lost every piece of themself, metaphorically and literally. Beautiful in a way that you get to see the growth of such a precious story, but be ridden with sadness over the cost of what that growth entails.

    Phos, is quite literally the embodiment of the ship of theseus. If each and every part of a ship is gradually replaced in different points in the future, is it really still the same ship of theseus? One manga spoiler (warning!!!) that broke me was when present phos saw a memory of phos from ep1, he didn't even _realize_ he was looking at himself. He literally just forgot who and where he started, it was absolutely tragic.

      I don't have any plans to make a video on AoT currently (there's a lot to cover and there's a lot of channels covering AoT already 😋). But in terms of my thoughts, on the top of my head, it's a very gritty show that was very bold with how violent it was. It's very good at maintaining this sense of tension and creating intense, high-stakes situations, where if the protagonists make one mistake, then everything goes to shit. It keeps you on the edge of your seat with these moments that makes you think "how the eff are these guys going to survive this?" I would say, unlike of a lot of shonen anime, AoT had some legitimate moments where I didn't know if the main characters were going to get out alive. Each conflict/battle had weight and significance, unlike a lot of anime where it's obvious that nothing of note will come out of a battle/encounter.
