The thing I like about Levi is he's incorruptible. Maybe those are strong words but I like that in a character in stories where everything is going to hell but you got that one character who just doesn't flinch.
@@storieswithstyle On that same note, isn't it interesting that Levi is like that, while also being a person who is capable of brutality on a level that few can match? This is the paradoxal nature of human duality, simultaniously capable of cruelty and compassion, creation and destruction, selfishness and heriosm. This theme is of course present throughout the entire show but it's especially obvious in a few places, and Levi is one of them. I am personally of the opinion that one should not try to hide, deny or suppress their inner darkness, because that can end really badly in many different ways (like the jagerists and the marleyans both demonstrate). I think that one should acknowledge their inner darkness and make an effort to understand it, because you can't control what you don't understad (The scene that best illustrates this concept is the "we have to get out of the forest" scene). Levi does this. He is capable of immensely destructive violence but he makes the best effort possible to always wield it for a good cause. Every time he does, he's doing what is from his perspective the best course of action that he can think of. And he learned that from Erwin. Now, it can be debated wether Erwin lost to his inner darkness or not, but it's a fact is that Levi would never have learned to wield his in the way he does if he hadn't met Erwin. Kenny taught him how to harness it, Erwin taught him how to use it for a good purpose. PS. This is also why art is important btw. Art can explore the deepest depths of both human cruelty, compassion and everything in between, it is a tool for us to understand ourselves. And you can't improve yourself without first understanding.
I am afraid that Levi would die because of the way Hange bandaged him not because of thunder spears😁How can he breathe with so many bandages in his face?
It just now occurred to me something interesting with the story of aot. The trope, or perhaps tendency would be a more apt term, that the generals/ leaders in a conflict are the ones detached from the reality of war, while the common folk endure the horror of the nuance and complex morality of directly engaging with the enemy. In aot, this is reversed. Our protagonists are the only ones who have even met any marlayens, befriended them, and only they have been given the opportunity to see them as humans. The general population of paradise on the other hand, only know their enemies through a layer of abstraction - as some unseen and malevolent force on the other side of the sea. That's why I can't put any blame on Floch. They where set up to fail. Fear and existential threat as such the the titans represented can't just go away - but the titans did. And in that exact moment the people of paradis where given a faceless foe, one they where told to have caused their plight, so they projected everything they feared about the titans, including hate, onto marley. This was a relatively rational conclusion to come to, you can't blame someone for following their most base intuitions.
@@AM17titan there were a few exceptions to the rule, but generally they didn't interact. They even said in the show that most marleyan prisoners refused to collaborate at all.
What an awesome shot! 38:22 this scene reminds me the scene when all Avengers gathered together before killing thanos, I feel like in this scene Captain America will say "Avengers, assemble" but here we don't have Captain America, we have Captain Levi instead. But Captain Levi is injured, and Connie is in the middle so now we have Captain Connie, and Mikasa looks like Black Widow there, Gaby looks like Scarlet Witch, Armin = Hulk, Annie = captain marvel, Falco = Falcon, Reiner = Iron Man
2:34 Do you think he didn't drink the wine? There's this scene in the finale that I felt was a little off. When the Ackermanns and the remaining shifters tried to get away from Fort Salta, Levi said something. For me at least: where did Levi get that info? Unless he drank the wine too and that confirms it? Otherwise, it's an off-cam info he got from somewhere? 29:15 In S428, the last regular episode... Man. This reaction series is gonna end soon...
@iepvienredstoneHuy007 Can't remember a scene where Levi might have picked that info up in the finale. It's always been: "We don't know much about the Ackermanns". Then suddenly, he was dead sure and true enough, they were immune. Unless it's an off-cam info, implied somewhere or worse, "it's in the manga" I think that wasn't cleared, for me at least...
who are called Ackermans or rather why they are different from other Eldians. Ackermans were basically formed because of experiments done by Eldian emperors on subjects of Ymir ( Eldianns ). This was done to create a race with high combat skills who can protect the Emperor. The result were people with the following special abilities:- ♟They can manifest the power of Titans as humans, without becoming a Titan or inheriting any of the 9 Titans ( This was mentioned by Zeke Yeager at some point in the manga). ♟The Ackermans are Subjects of Ymir however, they are immune to the Founding Titan's ability to alter the memories of the Subjects of Ymir.
@@bluegrey600 So it's a manga thing then. That puts a narrative gap in the anime's scene where Levi told only the Ackermanns and the shifters to leave Fort Salta during the Source's gas release...
in Mikasa's defence, the situation/mindset she is in at the moment is very depressing and conflicting (we see how she doesn't even know what to do when armin snapped at her.. and we see tears in her eyes while she is in bed this episode) so she can't really be blamed to her attitude towards Louise who not only believes in eren's dark ideology (which mikasa opposes) but she also feels shit that she admired her for the wrong reasons. I think it's better that she didn't say anything to her (because if she will, it would be harsh words like the line she told her in the cell "shut up" which is hurtful to a young girl on the verge of death who likes you..) so if she cant lie to her it's best to leave it as is.
Thing about Mikasa in the Louise scene, there was a lot of talk in the community about it, and the best interpretation i got to hear is that Mikasa acts like that because she sees her past self in Louise, the one who just blindly follows a person, who she doesn't even know really. Mikasa had the ideal image of Eren in her mind, of the boy who saved her from robbers, the beauty so to speak, but she could never see or accept the other part of him, the cruel one, which would slaughter innocent kids, and commit genocide of unspeakable scale. Louise in the same way, has the ideal image of Mikasa who saved her, she follows her steps blindly, becoming a part of yeagerists while doing so, and supporting the cruel version of Eren. So Mikasa does give a shit, its just that it irritates her to see herself in Louise. Now, it would be fair to say, that this could've been shown in the story better, perhaps with inner monologue, or something like that, because while this interpretation makes sense, it is only backed up by the context of the story, and not some explicit moments. Its not bad for the story to do stuff like this, its just that Mikasa in particular lacks these inner moments, which makes her character not as interesting to follow.
Yeah, it is also only backed up by the end and one has to take the leap of faith of assuming her letting go of Eren is already shown here in initial stages, but to be fair, she still takes the scarf. I still would take this version as my headcannon, but I think it really could have fleshed out stuff mroe as Mikasa got really shafted throughout the whole anime, unfortunately. =(
One incredibly sad part about all this is that Eren DID start to change for the better after the events in the Reiss chapel, but once the medal cermony happened and he saw the future when he touched Historia's hand, that positive change was demolished and replaced with something else. This is something I'll go into more detail about after the final episode because I need to reference basically the entire story.
Damn, I don't understand why Jean pushed Floch away. He's the damn brain and the leader of the Yegerists. They would have been seized, tied up and left in the forest and the Yegerists would have had no ideas what to do at all. Well, or maybe they would have tried to persuade him to help them, and if it didn't work out, then they left him tied up in the forest without a horse and he wouldn't have had enough time to inform the Yegerists of the alliance's goal.
well first of all jean cling on to the hope that floch MAY come to his sense and second jean pushed floch to basically tell the yeagarists that he was still in their side and to only look like he was captured by the cart titan
Yeah, the best thing storywiese to me would have been that. Floch gets taken away. Would spare us 26 and 27, which is the weakest streak of the show to me. They could have just taken him to the unguarded harbor, he freed himself and sabotaged the plane, leading into the SP1 stuff. :D But that is just personal opinion :D
im not sure if you knew about this but i just found a theory on why the titans eat people and honestly it makes sense. apparently titans eat people instinctively because when you eat someone that has one of the 9 titan power you become human again. so the titans are eating people instinctively because thats how you gain the titans power which is exactly what happened to yimir when she ate the former jaw titan that was going to the island to start the attack on the island to find Eren. thought you might find that interesting, i sure did. it never crossed my mind thats why they ate people. lol :D
@@miahan8988 i must not have paid attention to the show as much as i thought. can you tell me what episode or episodes that they mention it? i know that they know eating one of the 9 titans makes you gain their powers but i dont recall them ever mentioning thats why the dumb titans ate people. i do however remember them talking about at first asking why they even ate people since they did not eat out of hunger because they dont digest but i didint know they actually were aware they were eating them instinctively if one was to be one of the 9 titans. or possibly i worded it wrong by saying theory? i just didnt realize myself thats why they ate people.
I don't know if Pieck told Jean that she could only take three people in her titan mouth or something, but in retrospect, it seems to me like it was a mistake for Jean to push Floch out of the way. Not only did Floch understand immediately the betrayal had happened, but he was key to obstructing the rebels between this point and the end. If Jean had let Pieck gobble him up with him, Yelena, and Onion Polo, they'd have been able to take him captive or kill him, which would've thrown the Jaegerists into more disarray. Maybe they're all just underestimating how dangerous and driven Floch is.
@@AM17titan Nah, watch it again. He heavily suspected all of Jean’s team was involved in a betrayal, which is why he went to the port immediately and tried to secure the flying boat. Armin made a desperate attempt to pretend it was all just a misunderstanding, but if you look at Floch’s face, he clearly isn’t buying it. Floch is a committed Jaegerist, but he’s not an idiot.
Shasha was right on S1 Anniedoes secretly like seeats... Or she's just really glad she finally got to eat xD This show portrays The butterfly effect so well
It'a so fresh to see someone who doesn't think Floch is a goodey two shoes good guy in this scenario and not support him like a cult leader as I feel like 80% of the fandom do and actually pay attention to the story instead of hating it because "omg Eren bad guy now I hate it"
Floch definitely turned evil but somewhere I also feel for his character. He also suffered just like everyone in the story and this is how he turned out to be. He got corrupted but In the end we saw his conviction was not fake. He truly believed in Eren's plan. When the roof fell on him and he finally died. I got emotional for him. It was symbolic that even Floch finally got to rest and be free from this chaotic and cruel world.
Yeah, he is both understandable and evil. I love to hate him, he shows that this is in most people under the wroing circumstances. Definitely one of the best written characters in the show!
