People call Eren psychotic but I came across these panels again the other day and it's just... wow.
I feel like people call Eren all kind of names because he's someone not everyone will like cause he's so unpredictable, but with Levi he's a fan favourite and the women have a crush on him so he gets away with it. Kinda double standards.
I'd easily put Attack on Titan in the top 50 pieces of fiction that I've ever watched, but this made me think...
Since Eren is the MC, protagonist, (arguably) the antagonist in the end and objectively the best written and most complex character in the show, where does he rank in terms of characters in fiction?
Surely he's gotta be high, if Attack on Titan is up there with the very best? I'd say top 100-50?
What do you think?
Which decision is more selfish?
Eren and Mikasa running away or the Rumbling?
People would say it's an easy answer, but I don't think it is at all. Eren and Mikasa running away from their duties leaving Paradis defenseless without the Founding Titan is a very selfish decision, and if it had actually happened, I think a lot of the fandom would've hated both their characters, because their favourite side characters would've died.
The people in Paradis including their friends would be killed/enslaved/tortured, Armin and the rest of them would be left with lots of questions and resentment, and after the four years, the Founding Titan would go to an innocent Eldian child. (if there even were any Eldians left at that point)
And despite the Rumbling's horrors and injustice, some good things did come out of it. The titan powers vanished, humanity still survived, even if only 1/4 and there was peace for hundreds, if not a thousand years later.
It baffles me how so many people just ends up being "good" to Annie and Pieck by the end. None of them showed remorse for their actions, especially Pieck.
The only reason Annie gets away with the shit she did is because she supposedly ended up with Armin. And Pieck only because she is good looking and part of the Alliance in the end. Annie showed a bit sadness for killing Marco, but other than that? Nothing.
It does my head in how both of them got happy endings too and didn't lose ANYONE important to them.
