    I do wonder if Annie’s laugh and blushing is partly to do with her realising she failed her whole plan due to having feelings for Armin. The irony of something like a crush causing her to fail after the amount of effort she’s put in to shutting out her emotions…

      He also let notorious serial killer Kenny the Ripper into the ranks of the MPs (and yes, I know that was an irregular unit, but the Garrison and Scout Regiments have no such irregular units because their Commanders know the value of trust and loyalty). Evil flourishes when good men do nothing, and thus by not fighting the censorship of the actions of the First Interior or the decision to make Kenny an MP, he was inherently complicit in those decisions.

    18:20 One argument I would make for the realism of that scene is that most people they were trying to pass that fake Eren off too didn't actually knew how Eren looked. There was no photography. They had a description or a drawing at best. So passing someone who doesn't really look like Eren as Eren isn't that far-fetched.

    I think Annie breaking out in laughter when she reaches her breaking point was a fantastic addition in the anime. As you pointed out we see similar scenes with Eren and I wanted to add that Connie has at least two of those scenes as well. One is in the RtS arc when the Colossal appears and wrecks the town (iirc) where he makes a stupid joke and laughs until Sasha hits him. The other one is related to Annie when they meet her where they get food in S4P2. I have seen a lot of people hating the fact that Connie laughs at her stuffing her face with pie because of the very serious situation they are in, but I think this scene is very in character for Connie and like with Annie and Eren is just a very common human reaction to not being able to deal with depressing chaos anymore.

    Attack on Titan is so big on visual symbolism, at least in the Anime. The message of said symbolism is never ONLY on a grand scale. It’s either personal or both, at least most of the time. In my opinion, it really drives home how this show is character focused and character driven, even with the nature and grand scale of the main conflict.
    TLDR: In scenes or moments where the stakes are very personal, the animation team flexes like hell. and it’s so great

      -eren transforming to fight annie: the camera follows eren’s lightning and flips the (his) world upside down
      -annie (a representative of marley) destroying that church of the walls (as eren throws her into it, technically his fault there, manga readers will know the spoilers)

    I just wanna add one thing: The moment Eren transforms and the lightning strikes and the music climaxes the lyrics of the song DURING the lightning strike are "Ist das der Zerstörer?" (that´s german) which literally means "Is this the destroyer?". Two things there: For once, for random people in Stohess seeing a SECOND Titan appear out of nowhere, yes that is a pretty valid question but anyways. More importantly we obviously know now that oh boi YES HE IS!

    The episode title could also be a reference to Annie in her titan form when Armin first saw her. When she spared him, she was looking down at him and smiling. One of the biggest factors leading to suspicion of Annie was how her titan had an uncanny resemblance to her, and I think Armin realized it in that moment.

    10:48 What you pointed out about Annie standing against the flow of the river stood out to me big time; great observation. She's not walking along with the flow like the other MP's, but she's also not forcing her way against it as someone like Eren would do. She never bought into Marley’s bullshit indoctrination, and she never cared about the mission. But she did care about getting everything over with so that she can get back to her father; someone whose last-minute affection gave her all the motivation she needed, with hope that she would go back and peacefully live out the rest of her years with him (side note: it still boggles my mind how people brand her strictly as a cold-hearted bitch, when desiring love was always the entire premise of her character, but I digress). This puts her in a much more morally gray position than someone like Reiner, who was most definitely brainwashed by Marley, and thus seemed to have suffered worse cognitive dissonance during his time on Paradis, leading to his split-personality.
    That conversation she had with Marlow is actually cut short in the anime. In the manga, her philosophical perspective on this is explored in more depth. She tells him something along the lines of "People like you who go against the flow are rare; they get called special. So what should we call people who put their own interests ahead of others? They get called 'worthless,' or 'evil.' So from what I saw in the Training Corps, it was mostly made up of 'worthless' and 'evil' people who wanted to be in the Military Police."
    Marlo then responds, "So you're just trying to say that you guys aren't *really* that bad, right?"
    And Annie says, "No, I do think we're worthless and we're definitely evil. You certainly can't call us upright but... doesn't that just make us regular people?"
    She then continues, "So even if I'm the weak kind of person who gets swept along with the flow, I just want you to think of me as human, that's all."
    Annie was literally the first to highlight one of AOT's biggest philosophical themes: none of the characters are inherently good, nor are they inherently bad. She's incredible, and criminally underrated.

This was before there was an anime, we didn't even know there was online discussion of it (our internet at our old house was so slow at the time), this was when we thought titans were an experiment lol. It's just the two of us discussing the manga. We both knew it was Annie before it was revealed. Sawney and Bean getting killed. Armin's face as he looked at "Annie's" ODM gear. Armin was spared, Reiner got out unscathed, AND THEN the female titan knowing exactly where to go. The female titan's fighting style.

  • @arceuslegend4605
    @arceuslegend4605 11 місяців тому +4

    Regarding Eren's transformation, I think it's also worth pointing out the lyrics in the song, as we hear them quite often when Eren's titan shows up, particularly the first line: "Ist das der Zerstörer oder der Schöpfer?"
    This, in German, translates to "Is that the destroyer, or the creator?", obviously referring to Burrito and the Colossal titan at the time, but this also applies very neatly to Eren, something that the show also seemed to think. Because yeah, as the current holder of the Founder, Eren has the ability to destroy the world, but he can also shape a new one. A neat example of the latter is later down the line when we learn that the Founder was once used to make Eldians immune to a plague that was ravaging the rest of the world. It all boils down to the fact that Eren literally has the power of a god at his hands, so it's very fitting to ask what his true intentions really are, especially this early in the series.
    Another line in that song that comes soon after that also holds a much deeper meaning now is "Was finden wir jenseits dieses Horizontes?", which translates to, what will we find beyond the horizon. Again, this at the time was meant to provoke the question of "what really is out there" after the initial attack on Shiganshina, but it becomes so much darker when you realize that this also applies to Marley as well. As far everyone across the sea is concerned, Paradis is full of evil demons, waiting to slaughter us. When the warriors departed for their mission, they too had no idea what they'll find beyond the horizon. And it becomes even darker when you hear it play at the end of S4P2 as Marleyan soldiers flee their positions, and see Eren's founder towering over the rumbling while this exact line is played in the background.
    Obviously a lot of this is very irrelevant at this point in the story, but in the spirit of overanalyzing every minute detail I think it's great to look back now and realize how masterfully Wit was able to foreshadow the end of the series just through music. It's a part that I really wish this series on UA-cam would about a bit more imo.

    Unless certain groups out there will put good people in the category of bad people because they had that crammed into their minds, kinda like the Warriors experienced that when the Marley government said that every Eldian including them are all evil especially the ones on Paradis just like how in real life when a lot of people will put good people from a race or culture in a label saying they are all bad people just because of a few bad people, if that makes sense

      Not to be that guy but I always found that stupid. Because in the manga Eren turned right in the tunnel, right after Mikasa made him understand its all real and there's no room for Anie to be an ally anymore. In the anime, however, he was unable to transform even when his comrades started dying, for some reason. It was later fixed in the recap btw, together with this flaming titan bs which makes 0 sense because we know fire doesn't harm titans, it basically makes the flaming aspect of his titan a purely cosmetical ability.

    Anyone in the actual army that's had to do weapon's maintenance knows you can kinda tell whos gear is whos. You receive gear, lots and lots of gear, and you're responsible whether you're 18 or 45 for that gear within a hierarchy. So your rifle may have scratches or dents, the gear that goes on that, everything from pq15's etc, all can develop things like marks and stains (you do your best to keep it all uniform) but trust me, of ALL THE CRAZY STUFF in AOT the most believable part to me, as a former infantryman, is knowing your gear and your buddy's gear no matter how GI your supposed to make it after every training and operation. You just get used to every little deformity etc

      I mean Armin does have a small crush on her, not as big as Bertholdt but in Season 4 we can see that Armin does care about Annie, plus Armin really didn't wanna believe that the Titan who spared him twice on the battlefield was Annie because he grew to class her as a friend but knew that if it was true then that friendship would be broken

    The idea of future Eren and Ymir manipulating Mikasa is an interesting one, but I also think he missed a key implication by her tone and stare: it's implied that Mikasa's obsession with Eren is also making her irrational. That stare is irrational jealousy. Girl is upset he's so fixated and worrying about Annie. It also explains why she's so cold to her the rest of the fight. Classic yandere energy.

    I think marlo existed to justapose annie's forced complacency to Marley
    She respects erens insane ideas of revolt and freedoom. Id even go as far as to say she wanted to be that person in her world, but she would not Take the first step
    When marlo is beaten and points his gun at the sênior, annie says "if u are going to do this, i got your back" or something to that effect
    I think annie always wanted to be free, but was always tied down by her father existence
    IF she had a little push from one of the other shifters, as if in revolt agains Marley, she would've prolly been an ally from start

    I have a theory of the reason eren couldn't turn into his titan form in some cases and it just because he's not allowed to by his future self. He has the power to control all of attack titan's owner's behaviour and he himself is not off the limits. For example, if eren had transformed right after annie did, annie wouldn't be pushed to the walls and be finished off in the center of the city and in turn wouldn't break a part of the wall, wouldn't reveal the secrets of the wall, wouldn't introduce us to the pastor (I forgot his name), and historia wouldn't play a huge role later in the show. It just goes to show how careful Isayama planned out this story.

  • @vinsanity3510

    It’s funny cuz you get human moments in this show so well I was surprised you got a tinfoil for the Mikasa scene.
    It’s not Ymir, it’s “Mikasa’s Strength”. It’s been alluded to since the beginning. From the early episodes, Eren straight up states he wants to be strong like Mikasa. Strength in muscles, strength to make the tough decisions.
    She was the first to move after Eren “died” to the old man Titan. Once she unlocked her Ackerman power, she never stopped moving forward like Eren wants to.
    She just influenced him so deeply, he saw himself in his father and probably hated himself for being so WEAK.

    When I first started watching AoT, I actually liked Annie and wanted to see more about her. Then she leaves the group and I was disappointed. Then these episodes where she is the focus because of her being a titan shifter, even though I enjoyed them I always didn't want it to be true. And then we get to her laughing scene. Those blushes. That smile. Just seeing this other, rather, foreign emotion on her just really made me want to see her get a happy ending. It wouldn't be until I've read the manga that I sort of eventually got that. Or at least an ending where she isn't incased in some crystal.

    28:40 I think is Mikasa trully self motivated reaction, she had this rivality with Annie, and is just pissed off that they can die under her foot just bc Eren is too pussy to understand that she`s a traitor. I think that moment was so shicking to Eren, that it just stuck to his own personality, so basically, Eren's way to persuade focusing his anger in his stare and simple speech, was taken from mikasa in this moment.
