Which season is better.

Personally, I would say S4 I think S4 is the peak of the series and the culmination of everything the story has been building up to. It feels like this was the story isayama was trying to tell all along. Erens transformation from hero to villain is one of the best executed transformations I’ve seen. S3 is a masterpiece but somehow S4 is even better in my opinion. What do you think?

The hate for Annie is one of the most egregious examples of misogyny and having no media literacy

I genuinely don’t know how anyone can watch the entirety AOT and come out of it saying Annie never showed any remorse or guilt for her actions even though it’s objectively not true. There are so many scenes of it and you have to actively ignore the scenes because of your bias or straight up skipping over them.

The amount of misogyny for this is character is just ridiculous because in the same show their are male characters who did even worse things then her and don’t get nearly enough hate. And people say oh she didn’t suffer like what? Did you watch the show? Her whole life was suffering she was literally physically abused by her dad so she could turn into a weapon. And was forced on a mission that mind you she didn’t even want to continue. But somehow she enjoys killing people but simultaneously doesn’t want to continue the mission that allows her to kill more people make it make sense. Not even just that she was stuck in a crystal for 4 years CONSCIOUS. That is absolute torture to be stuck in your body aware of your surroundings unable to move for 4 years, but people downplay it because she’s a female.

People talk about the yoyo scene. Can any of you even give me the name of the scout she did that to? Since y’all care so much about it. Have you ever once thought that she did that as a an intimidation tactic or that she was doing this as way to cope with what she’s doing. The hate that Annie receives for that scene is so performative like you guys act like one scene defines a whole character. Same thing when Gabi kills Sasha, y’all act like that one scene defines her whole character and there’s no turning back. Just another example of misogyny.

People say oh they forgave her to easily. Can you show me a single scene or panel in the whole show of any character from the alliance forgiving Annie. Nobody forgiven her their deciding to work together because they have no other choice and need as many resources as possible. In fact when they’re on the wagon headed to the port Annie asked Jean if he forgives her and he doesn’t even respond back.

Most of the people on the alliance didn’t even witness the horrors Annie did or had emotional ties with them other than Levi’s squad, marco. And Marco doesn’t even count because Reiner was the one who forced Annie to do it and took accountability of the situation. You really expect Levi to chastise Annie for what she did when Levi knows that she was a brain washed child solider being manipulated by the Marley government. Levi is way more mature than that. Levi himself when he was young was in a similar situation and was killing people and committing crimes. Moral of the story everyone has blood on their hands. It’s makes no sense for the scouts to punish Annie for what she did in S1 when the scouts just recently did what Annie did to their to hometown to hers raiding Libero. There even.

Where was the outrage when Erwin said out of his own mouth he was sacrificing his own comrades for his selfish dreams. Where was the outrage when Reiner broke down the wall and killed thousands of people way more than Annie. And kept continuing and killing more people for his own selfish goals because wanted to be hero and gain respect. Where was the outrage when armin nuked a whole port and killed thousands of innocent people. Where was the outrage when Eren was actively committing the most horrific act in the history of humanity.

All these character have something in common and it’s that they were men. I could get into how this same misogyny applies to Gabi and mikasa but that is a whole different conversation. People, especially some people who watch AOT cannot comprehend flawed/messy female characters. If a female Character is even slightly flawed or edgy or not morally perfect she’s just downplayed and hated but if a male character has the same traits there are praised to no end for their amazing writing.

So ridiculous

Yep, let’s have one of the sweetest/innocent characters in the show who rebelled against a corrupt government and rebelled against her corrupt dad. Later down the line throw all that development out the window to support a corrupt, fascist regime and send them all to kill her best friends. 10/10 writing👏

Are the fights in invincible actually terrible?

Idk I feel like comparing the fighting in invincible to jjk is kind of a disingenuous comparison. Because jjk is heavily centered around martial arts and fighting techniques. While invincible doesn’t give those type of things any attention, and is more focused on storytelling and character development. Are the fights actually trash?

Which are your favorite.

I feel like one of the many things that separates aot from any other anime is the crazy amount of 10/10 episodes where it’s just dialogue and little no action at all. What are your favorites? Some of mine are

  1. Declaration of war
  2. Night of the end
  3. Memories of the future
  4. Opening
  5. Dawn of humanity

Idk man a lot of people just love to dog pile on AOT, and downplay the writing. But when I see something like this it just confuses me. This is literally the highest rated show oat let alone anime. Even the ending is highly rated. So I’m just confuse as to where the hate comes from of people say the writing is ass, or fell off, or the ending is GOT 2.0

My god to think he’s insecure about his artwork this looks incredible. It’s funny how he’s drawing Star Wars characters in his free time.
