Several times we had that dude beat, and every time he somehow slips away, like bro just kill him already ts is gonna start pissing me off dude

I keep thinking why doesn’t Eren just change the outcome of things if he knows the future? And yes, I get that he’s always been like that, he wanted it to happen, time is like a loop basically. But it’s always been so hard for me to process that and why it’s so difficult for him to just change the outcomes instead.

However, recently I’ve been comparing it to a scenario in real life, specifically, for example, when a person is on a diet. They want to eat something like a chocolate bar, they know in the future it’s bad and shouldn’t have it, but they to choose to have the chocolate bar out of free will because they just simply want it even though the consequences are just bad. This helped me understand Eren’s choices a bit better, how even though he knows the future and what he does is bad and will have consequences, he just simply wants to do it. What do you guys think of this viewpoint and a way to understand his choices?

The first season was fine, a bit too heavy on the melodrama for my tastes but overall fine and enjoyable enough, and recommended enough, that I'll continue on to the second season.

My major issue, having finished this first season, is that it's odd they treat the identity of the female titan as a big twist or even a mystery when by all context it was incredibly obvious who it was. I'm not trying to gloat like I'm super smart or anything; it's more that there's literally only one female character with hair that resembles the female titan's hair, to say nothing of the clear and obvious fighting skills being a huge blinking, obvious sign as to who it is. I'm glad the show mentions in one of its flashbacks that she does look like the female titan but they treat it like that's circumstantial when its not. Literally the only other intelligent titan with hair we see, unless I'm forgetting one, is the MC and again his hair looks exactly like his titan's hair so it was again obvious when he was first revealed as well. I am curious how the female character transformed into a titan without literally any of the hundreds of people noticing the giant obvious lightning bolt that must have struck down from the sky though before her first appearance.

The larger female titan issue I was surprised about, and I don't think they mention it unless I missed it by not focusing enough on the dialog, was the existence of the female titan. Again, as I recall, I don't think the show ever shows anything but "male" titans up her appearance yet the characters dont find it odd to see a female titan.

Anyway just wanted to make that observational comment before I begin the second season. If I need to spoiler mark anything do please let me know and I'll come back and do so. On to season 2.

After Trost, the Attack Titan was revealed, and Rod Reiss should’ve known that it was a previous Attack Titan who stole the Royalty’s founder in the first place. How come he didn’t just nab Eren and eat him?

First Erwin, then Armin 😭

Erwin was one of my favorites, and Armins death hits way harder than I thought it would, I ugly cried for like 10 minutes straight bro

I wonder what’s gonna happen next ep

I'm on season 3 ep 3 and can't ignore the fact mikasa and levi have the same last name but nothing has been mentioned about it. are the siblings? is it revealed later and I just need to keep watching?

if it cant be explained without get spoiled that's fine, I'm just curious to know if I can get context to their relation to each other if possible. otherwise I would have looked it up, but I've spoiled other shows the same way too many times for my liking
