In Attack on Titan 4x29, The Final Chapters (first half), just when your heart had started to mend, AOT comes back to remind you of both its soul "crushing" weight and also its glory.

In Attack on Titan 4x29, The Final Chapters (second half), Armin becomes a little bolder, the crew gets a lot closer, Zeke gets more annoying, and birds become even more suspicious.

Other than the odd subtitles - amazing reaction as always. I loved watching you go through the seasons from the start and you're one of my favourite reactors for this show.

Megan

I actually found these subtitles better than the ones I saw. They felt really natural and were more or less what I remember from the manga. I don’t speak japanese though, so I can’t speak on the translation quality.

RationallySassy

That's fair - some of them I liked more, but others felt off. Especially Reiner's mom saying "her" instead of "him" or "Reiner," aha.

I think what you said, "The path is clear and it is to stop Eren" is completely correct and in some ways I would think that Eren is the one that paved that path for them. Without him continuing to move forward creating a trail for the others to follow and catch up to him would the path be as clear? Similar to the theory you remembered from Pixis earlier in the story. Just a thought I had while watching. The Hange scene was also my favorite I think. Amazing reaction! Mr.Goodwin never disappoints!

The line that haunts me from this episode, is the one where Eren says he was disappointed about the state of the outside world, because this is also what happend to a lot of viewers/readers. I remember vividly when the timeskip chapters (start of season 4) first came out and a lot of people were not happy about the sudden POV change, the new characters, the loss of the familiar "confined setting", even though that's exactly where the story was heading... So, we were somewhat disappointed, too. We, just like Eren, also had different expectations.

i've watched a hundred reactions to this long episode. which means i've watched hange die a hundred time. which means i've cried a hundred times. i've ran out of tears

Something I'd like to say about the subtitles: The scene were Eren says something like "If you want me to stop, you'll have to cut my spine" is a very weird translation. In all other translations I've seen he says "... you'll have to stop me from breathing". This most definitely isn't connected to the titans weak point. After all, Eren now possesses the Warhammer Titan, which means he doesn't even have to be in the nape (although he still might be).

I’ve seen a lot of people with the opinion that Erwin would support the rumbling and I don’t know what show they watched

Chris Sharpe

My take is that, for the Yaegerists, it is the first option, for the Alliance, it isn’t an option, for Erwin, it would be the very last option.

Ryuga

First time I'm going to watch an episode first time with someone on Patreon without having actually seen it before hand haha, excited

This show has some of my favorite meta moments. The biggest one that comes to mind is Pieck's "do you know who the real enemy is?"

Jasmine Tea Enjoyer

And Erwin probably would be driven to, just like Eren, that being the last option and ultimately he would've supported the Rumbling albeit being extremely sad about having to do it just like Eren clearly is.

Mortis

Except no he is t because he could accomplish the goal of protecting paradis without killing everyone but he refused the other plan because it meant his friend didn’t get a perfect life.

Your comparison is flawed. Japan is more so Paradis in this situation, they had already lost the war, and had sued for peace. They just refused to accept an unconditional surrender, and the alliance refused to negotiate because it would look too bad politically to negotiate with Japan after the war crimes they'd committed. Regardless, an American invasion of Japan wasn't on the table by the time they decided to use the bombs, the Soviet Union was going to do it, the US just had second thoughts about what they were giving up in exchange for that invasion so decided to beat them to it with the nukes. Even in the context of the story, we're presented with alternatives. Not great ones, for sure, but better and less evil than the rumbling. And ultimately, the arguments that supported the use of the nuclear bombs all revolve around the idea that while destructive and cruel, it resulted in less deaths overall. Clearly the rumbling doesn't, it trades potentially 1 million lives, for hundreds of millions in return. Why are the lives on Paradis more valuable than the ones outside? Why do you assume you would be the ancestor of someone who survived on Paradis instead of a life that could never be lived because your grandfather lived in Marley and was crushed to death?

There’s nothing poorly written about giving Eren 2-3 (all pretty bad) choices on Isayama’s part. It’s human and realistic for people to try their hardest and still not come up with the perfect solution. It would have been a poorly written ending if all of a sudden Isayama gave up that realistic approach to the human experience and had the crew pull some optimal answer out of their ass after all that was set up to get here. The story is a tragedy on all fronts; both for the people of Marley/the world who despised Eldians and treated them like animals and even the Eldians themselves, but also for Eren as a kid with unimaginable amounts of knowledge and memories dumped into his mind as a child and having to carry the burden of knowing the future this whole time while still failing to figure out a better path. It’s been a human tragedy from the beginning and is only completely fitting that it remain so at the end.

Jasmine Tea Enjoyer

@Jake White Yeah I don’t think its necessarily bad writing unless Isayama changed his ending in order to appeal to a wider more general audience which is what I have heard, a LOT of people really hate the ending and I can’t imagine that they are all just making it up. So we will see.

Jake White

Mostly what people are referring to when they say they ‘hate the ending’ is just the fact that Eren’s character in the final chapters was no longer the Gigachad he was at the beginning of this season. And I’ll even admit that I was one of those salty nerds too when it first came out lmao it took me a few months to accept that my expectations were just skewed because of my bias to enjoying that side of him earlier on. I won’t spoil by going into details but yeah the crux of everyone’s complaints really fall on just Eren losing BDE status in the end moments lol

Jake White

Let’s be real, Isayama is legitimately a dude that once said in response to an interview question of ‘what do you want to do when you’ve finished writing AoT?’ with “I want to open a spa with all of my audience’s tears after the ending” lmao. The ending was always going to be controversial and upset people, that was mostly intentional

Bighead

Yeah and I also think it was more so the execution of that ending that people, me included, are disappointed in. I think the ending makes perfect sense for aot, I just wish it was executed and written better.

Steve.

Eren was presented the option to rumble the entire world's military might, which would bring economic collapse upon the imperialistic societies of the AoT world and ensure Paradis' survival for at least long enough when they could get their tech up to speed, and potentially form alliances during that time. It's shown at the beginning of S4P1 that Marley is not popular with other nations and their control over territory was slipping. The Declaration of War was in large part a ploy to take the heat off themselves and focus the world's attention on another boogeyman. Willy and Magath say this outright. The show explicitly mentions these things several times over. The writing is all there. Literally flattening the world and crushing children so their brains fall out is just so far beyond necessary to save Paradis. The Allies only dropped enough bombs on Japan to stop the conflict--notice the entire country wasn't wiped off the face of the earth.

Ryuga

How is it a spoiler if you've never seen it...won't know what it is lol. More of a spoiler to draw attention to it

i don't believe that a so-called "closed loop" would necessarily negate the stakes of the series. aot's conflict is modeled after the cycle of violence, which knows no beginning or end, only inevitability, but there is still the individual choice to participate in it. a supernatural time loop may have "forced" eren to motivate his past self to start the rumbling, but the key word is "motivate" - as this episode reveals, a dark part of him still genuinely wanted to do it.

Alex Begley

Falco talking about his new connections with the beast titan, and the memory of flying in the air above the clouds, just made me think "Maybe ZEKE has been the birds the whole time!" haha

agoodwintv

I responded to this on YouTube but actually I need to think about it some more haha. It's so complex

Ryuga

It's fine I changed it, but I wouldn't call it a spoiler because how are you going to know what it is if you haven't seen it lol. But all good

Fredo_Credo

so good to see a Reiner-Conny shoulder pat 2.0

Jasmine Tea Enjoyer

a smart demon slayer viewer could figure out what your pfp was to some degree before seeing the movie

The problem with this is The whole Yeagerist Faction Would not have happened if Eriwin had lived. He commaned that much respect. I firmly believe that one of the big reasons Eren made his political faction is the faild leadership on Paradise.

Arakis

Armin's like: "Sit your ass down, this isn't a romcom! We take action."
