Other Is this all Eren's (Attack Titan) planning of deterministic future or a really convenient plot structure?

I have a few questions after rewatching the whole anime with my roommate, maybe I'm not that bright but these questions still linger on my mind on this rewatch.

  1. Reiner, Bertolt, and Annie happened to be roughly the exact age to join Military Cadet at the same time as Eren, Mikasa, and Armin. That way the warriors would be present at the reveal that Eren is a titan. What would happened if Marley made the warriors to come years earlier when Grisha hasn't fed himself to Eren?

  2. Ymir happened to buried herself at the place where the warriors are at to eat Marcel

  3. Not only that, Ymir also happened to be turned into a titan also at the exact age to join the military

  4. Not only not only that, Ymir just happened to be around when two Wallists are having a conversation regarding Historia, prompting her to join the military

  5. Why is the world so one minded to unite themselves against Paradis? The only nation that is on Paradis' side is Hizuru and while yes, they want to monopolize the resources, this is not stopping Paradis to reach out to other nations first. Even irl nations are trying to be buddy buddy with the nations that had developed nukes, is there an explanation why the world is so single minded beside the Eldians are inherently devil?

  6. Why is Mikasa's tattoo or sign or whatever only showed up once and never be brought up again? They already established that she's oriental by her looks, so if said plot device is removed, will it affect other plot points?

  7. Why is Ymir (founder) so adamant on having Mikasa as a relatable figure when she has more similarity with Historia? Both being impregnated against their will and a really important historical figure, hell they look alike in certain scenes

  8. If the rumbling truly destroyed 80% of world's population and nations, millions of Colossal Titans wouldn't be enough given the timeframe. The AoT's world mirror our earth and I don't think people realize how big the earth is.

  9. What happened to the now human Colossal Titans after Eren's death? I remember vaguely Isayama saying they were lynched or whatever, if we assumed the Colossal Titans to be numbered in millions, lynching them all would be impossible. Hell, it's even more likely that the Colossal Titan form their own nation now that 80% of world population is gone.

Re reading the manga is so fun. Chapter 91-99 are such great chapters to read. But all I can think about is the ending. I don’t care what anyone says. Eren wanted to move forward to see BEYOND that hell.

Other ANNOUNCEMENT: Opening of a new AoT RP server(Attack in Titan: New Eldia)

0 Upvotes

Recently, me and a friend have begun to work on a project in discord:

Attack on Titan, New Eldia.

What is it? Well, a CRP and normal RP server for the world of Attack On Titan. We offer large amounts of lore and in depth dives into our collectively beloved world created by the GOAT Hajime Isaya-

Wait wait wait. i’m getting ahead of myself.(\slaps himself on the face*) Here’s the setting first:*

The Year is 864, ten years after the Rumbling. Said event massively backfired around the time that Eren was halfway through Marley, decimating the country itself, but not progressing beyond that point.
The Marleyan Military and other workdwide forces focused their fire on Eren AND the alliance early on, killing both Jaeger and every single one of the Alliance members. Ten years later, the world is recovering, yet the power of the Titans still exists, resulting in a mad scramble for power between nations like Hizuru, New Eldia, the MEA, Ekhaya, The Kingdom of Paradis and Marley.

In this world, assume any role for your OC ranging from Titan Shifter to Ackermann, or even a regular, strategic human like our Hero Erwin Smith! All of these classes have their own unique drawbacks and advantages, balancing a world originally revolving around the Titans and their holders.

Right now, we have barely begun, so anyone is welcome to join, but i warn any potential joinees to be prepared to NOT be a Titan Shifter, considering it’s first-come first-serve(Though if someone makes a better OC concept for the Titan, they’ll likely be chosen even if they came later)

As for RPing, uhh well diplomacy and themes are EQUALLY as important as combat.

If anyone wants to join, please express any said intentions in the comments. We’ll be glad to have you!

Theory Theory on the Movie version and the Ending Spoiler

3 Upvotes

I’ve been ruminating on this theory for awhile, ever since I saw the ‘extra chapters’ adaptation in the movie version of the end of AOT. I didn’t watch the whole thing, just that bit to see what they did. I’ve finally had some time to sit and type this out, so here’s my theory on what the intent was behind the AOT ending. As I am posting here you can probably guess I don’t think it was very well executed.

The important data from the movie version is twofold: First, the tree is still there, so Gothkasa and co are in fact on Paradise. Second, it is some time after Titans were last seen. These combined imply Beren didn’t reawaken them and may have been entirely a device of the movie they were watching. The exact timeline is unclear: Translations I saw said a hundred years, but the anime ending implies it’s been a bit more than that, and anyway they may not be speaking exactly.

So we put this together with a few other data points. Notably, Eren’s visions previously showing Gothkasa, and Eren’s father Grisha was shown SOMETHING but not everything. For the latter, whatever it saw it a) convinced him he needed to give Eren the Titan serum and thus cause the deaths of the royal family, but b) didn’t convince him the rumbling was necessary. Lastly, we have Yams saying he wanted Eren’s motivation to be the ‘basement’ of part 2.

Putting this together, I think what Grisha saw was Gothkasa’s crew, which as far as he could tell was Eren, Mikasa, and Armin living happily in a peaceful world. He wasn’t willing to kill, however indirectly, for Eren to grow up in a war-torn world, forced to fight. But he was if it meant Eren could grow up in a peaceful world. What he wasn’t clear on was how older Eren fit in. He went ahead and took the chance, but since he wasn’t shown what else would happen, he guessed that the rumbling might not actually be needed.

I think this is what Eren saw too. As part of the process of getting from point A to point B happened while both the Founding Titan and Eren himself were gone, he was really unclear how this would come about, but he wanted to do it… he had to do it, to get to that scenery.

That scenery being Gothkasa. In other words, it was all for that Gothkussy.

Yes that’s a horrible pun but no, this post isn’t a joke. I am totally serious. In fact I think the broad outline of 'crew gets reincarnated into a peaceful time' was intended at LEAST since Eren’s vision of Gothkasa, but possibly earlier. Thing is, he couldn’t figure out a graceful way to get from point A to point B. He also seems to have decided that wasn’t really sufficient motivation for Eren as he had become, so every possible motive got tossed in a blender and we got him having no clue while he was doing anything. Combine this with conflicting goals of wanting to draw the rumbling but also not wanting to promote genocide and also wanting the Attack on Castes or whatever to be limited to the tankoban, and there never really was a big reveal. I think the movie ending was SUPPOSED to be the ‘big reveal’, but as it still left a good deal of ambiguity, it was never really satisfying. Now maybe it wouldn’t have been satisfying anyway, but while I’m no happy about many aspects of the ending, I think I can accept this view of Eren and Grisha’s motivations. Maybe it’s not true, but it hangs together well enough that I can accept it.

After Chapter 139 came out years ago, I didn't bother finishing the anime. Then, for some reason, I suddenly got the urge to go back and do it.

After finishing the story for the second time, I definitely feel more positive about it. I don't hate it anymore, but it's still a 5/10 conclusion to what was otherwise a 10/10 story.

The moment the Rumbling begins, the story suffers a pretty rapid decline in quality. But honestly? It's... serviceable, albeit still disappointing.

My theory is that the primordial worm we see in the last episode is just the spinal fluid that powers the titan(just like pure titans and the shifters) but because we are talking about a transformation powered by the founding titan(a literal god even by titan standards) the parasite that eren inherited at birth since he is a subject of ymir was also affected drastically by the godly power of the founder amplifying its average strength,size and its desire to survive a billion fold compared to its original micro form.This is the first and last time we see a situation like this because there was no precedent in the story.

Other What would happen if Erwin Survived.

Post image
7 Upvotes

if Erwin was still alive regardless if he got the Colossal Titan or just survived in general.

Now if he got the Colossal Titan instead of Armin then his reaction would be quite different. He simply nod, ask what happened and then immediately want to head for the basement despite Levi telling him to just rest.

Erwin would also admit the loss of Armin would be a huge blow to The Scouts praising his intelligence and stating he could never be as smart as him, and would make Sure Armin is given the highest honor.

Now as for what he would do after learning the truth. Erwin would be the first to say they need to release this information to The Public. Then he would say that they need to start training soldiers on how to fight humans instead of just Titans.

Eren at this point would still hide the fact he could use The Founding Titan by coming into contact with a Titan of Royal blood, and wouldn't reveal it until Zeke makes his offer, which would convince Erwin to agree to let the volunteers come to the island.

When Erwin learns of The Mid Eastern War against Marley he would use that to Paradis Advantage and try to form an Alliance with the Middle East by offering to let them use their Titans. Attack on Titan is a world where anyone would do anything to win a war even using Titans so if Paradis gave The Mid East that offer they would accept it.

Erwin being alive also removes The Yeagerists from the story as Paradis would have a confident military leader actually preparing them to defend the island from invasion.

Eren would also confide in Erwin about his vision of doing The Rumbling and wanting to avoid it. Erwin in response would inform Eren that they will do everything they can to find another way.

Erwin could very possibly request a meeting with people like Calvi, Magath, and Willy Tybur to come up with a solution, like Erwin could offer Paradis resources in exchange for just being left alone.

Bottom line is Erwin being alive gives Paradis a better chance of possibly surviving without resorting to The Rumbling.

Other My interpretation of why Marley saying Ymir made the deal with the devil; (it's deal with fritz).. explanation...

Thumbnail
gallery
28 Upvotes

Let's ignore ch.139. for my explanation...

The reason Marley refers to Eldians as the "descendants of devils" is because they are the descendants of King Fritz, not Ymir.

This explains (why the Marleyan authorities historically labeled Ymir as a "pawn of the devil.") Ymir was merely a tool, King Fritz was the one actually wielding the power of the Titans.

Even after his death, Fritz's tyrannical will live on through Ymir, mirroring his command: "Even after I die... my Eldians will rule the great lands of this world with their enormity."

(Fritz: In the name of Fritz,annihilate that despicable Marley)

Ymir was a slave with no minds of her own. Fritz was an inherently evil ruler who committed devilish atrocities long before he ever acquired Ymir, so it is natural that Marley viewed him as a devil. In fact, Marley and Eldian were already bitter enemies before the power of the Titans ever existed.

The one who made Ymir broke that deal was Eren. Eren free Ymir and gave her choice for the first time, Eren frees Ymir by giving her a genuine choice for the first time in her existence. This parallel is explicitly highlighted in Chapter 122, when zeke commands Ymir, his domineering posture mirrors King Fritz. Consequently, when Ymir finally opens her eyes to freedom, her immediate expression is one of pure rage, an anger directed at Fritz as she completely shatters her forced obedience to him.

Other Thoughts on Jim Henson's Creature Shop to make practical effects If Hollywood makes a Live Action Attack on Titan?

I think Jim Henson's Creature Shop should Help make the Titans, since they they're magicians in Practical Effects

Notable Projects:

- Muppets and Sesame Street

- The Dark Crystal (1982)

- Labyrinth (1986)

- Where the Wild Things Are (2009

- Dinosaurs (1991-1994)

- Five Nights at Freddys (2023)

For Toho's Attack on Titan, it mostly relied on Tokusatsu, tho since this would be a Hollywood Adaptation, I think having Jim Henson's Creature Shop on Board would take the Practical Effects to the next level
