So what was the point of this? Frankly, what was the point of any Eren panel pre-Rumbling arc? Does anyone have a reasoned explanation for why the decline in writing quality and retcons in plot continuity are justified? I'd really like to hear it.
Shingeki no Kyojin
I will never stop loving Eren.
He just wanted to write something deep, but didn't have the ability to deliver something that wouldn't look like a complete glorification of mass shooters. So he made Eren just do these things cause they just had to, to free ymir and save his friends from the titan curse.
He was angry that there's wasn't any way to save Paradis without global genocide, so he was half-mockingly asking Hange if there was any other way, even though he knew there probably isn't any. He just wanted to shut her up.
Which brings me back to the original post. What the fuck was the point of it? Was he fucking acting? Playing pretend? It's pretty clear that defending the island was a top priority. What about Historia's character sideline after getting all this strange undue influence? What is the point of any of this? I'm trying to piece together the logic in writing such a thing.
From what I understand, he was trying to save both Paradis and his friends(he had to undo the titan curse, which apparently required him to die by ymir's self-insert), so he compromised between the two.
Frankly just stop trying to make sense of timeskip
The moment I saw AM taking that boat to eren even though he tried to keep them away, I understood isayama was not trying to tell a story, he was just selling a serialised teenage trash comic where he could draw his rumbling and wank his pet mong
AOE AOE ITS COMING AOE AOE
BEWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE
Wasn't it the exact same with the manga?
Man I wish there was no manga and you guys were discovering the story with the anime so you would look at small details of a Sudanese freelancer’s frame to determine which girl eren fucked
But when did this so-called Lelouch plan begin? When he kissed Historia's hand as is alluded to in 139? The Marley and WfP Eren doesn't seem like a man who plays pretend. I refuse to believe panels like these are him play-acting for some grand fake-out. It would destroy any characterization from the Reiss Caverns. Was he pretending with Falco? When he spoke about moving forward? What of his composure when facing Reiner? Was that not character development? The future he saw, why ask Reiner why his mother died? When did he see that? Why force that down the reader's throat in 139 when it was such a crucial plotpoint? Was he pretending with Hange? Pretending with Mikasa and Armin? Pretending to fight Reiner? His anger towards Fritz-through-Frieda? His homage to Kruger? His declaration after receiving the founder's power, which would make the past-present-future he saw in 139 be with him in that moment yet he still made the declaration? What's the big idea? I could go on.
Nope
Idk how anyone can be on Eren's side. Imagine that happened irl. You're just watching some anime and eating hot chips and your apartment suddenly collapses on top of u because Israel initiated The Gentilling and sent high magnitude seismic waves to defend their right to exist because Bernie Sanders said he'd stop giving them money.

Just a minor difference user, doesn't mean much. The skull(which was where Eren was all along) in both cases is empty.
He was genuinely pissed because the military was slow and indecisive for four years. The island was in a poor position, the 50 year plan didn't actually solve the issue, just pushed it down to further generations. If there was another way, he wish he could find it. Don't forget is was only a few months prior where he was at that public forum that cheered the continued hatred toward Paradis.
Except it's not the same because the US is Israel's dog, Bernie's controlled opposition included. People who try to project politics from a fictional universe into the real world are fucking autistic retards.
>But when did this so-called Lelouch plan begin?
It has no beginning or end
I think Eren kept looking for another solution until he heard of Zeke's real plan from Yelena. Once he heard the Zeke had no intention of saving Eldians, and with using Historia out of the question, he committed himself to full rumbling, realizing at that moment why his memories were leading him to that decision. It was right after that Eren approached Floch and told him his intentions.
Yeah but in your case the rest of the world isn't nazi germany that rounds up jews, forces them to become soldiers, or straight up murders them.
I remind you that Eldians are considered ticking time-bombs in the rest of the world, and are considered not human. Paradis would definitely get whiped out. The reason people supported eren was simple. He was put into a position, where he had to choose between billions of people who hated him or his friends, family and country. Most people would choose their families if they were in his position, I don't know why this is so hard to grasp for some people.
probably because "some people" are people irl, not eldians.
most people would rather die than kill five billion people
imagine Yams made eldians/eren to be actually black, people who say "it's natural to support eren" would STFU.
If Isayama went all in with EAr and explicitly confirmed that Eren romantically loved Armin how would Erenfags react?
>He was angry that there's wasn't any way to save Paradis without global genocide
He wanted global genocide. He always wanted to do it because "it was in his nature" and Armin's book helped that along.
You have to consider the context of the world of SnK. For Paradis, the outside world has only existed for 4 years, and the vast majority of people haven't seen or interacted with it. All they know is that this world hates them and wants them dead, and that this world is responsible for the latest titan attacks. Other than a few military people, no one from the island has visited the continent. For the average Paradisian, the destruction of the world is no big deal. It barely mattered to them anyway. They probably couldn't even conceive over a billion people.
