You basically came at my review guns blazing, strawmanning my position from the get go and being a bit of a contemptuous ass. But it seems your criticism was the classic "you did not like it because you did not get it" shtick. A variant of, certainly, but still. My point stands.
I did get this particular point of Eren's, but I treated it not as the center of his argument, nor as a last minute reveal that contextualizes the rest, but more as a qualifier for both Eren's personality and his rationalization for his choices. This point did not make it into my review.
Anyway, thanks for coming back to the table for clarifications.
I've rewatched the dialogue you spoke of, once in English, once in Japanese and once in French - just to be sure. The last one was useless, I don't speak French. I couldn't find what you are saying hinted at anywhere. I even asked an AI to help me, but AI is stupid, so it didn't find either. Internet was also no help with your theory.
I'm probably not smart enough on my own, or with AI or with the net. Please help.
Now, tell me : what did I miss, "senpai" ?
it was not, at any point, "humans vs humans". the Eldians are not "humans". and again, it was about the backstories of the communities Bertholdt and the other 3-4 came from. we know they had perceptions of them being "devils"/devils(showing a history of cruelty. or maybe an "inherent trait" that makes them more cruel. or another reference to their titan powers that make them inhum4n, which the warriors probably just borrow) as Bertholdt shouted in s2 ep11 when Armin talks about Annie's torture, and that they come from certain communities outside(or maybe even inside in 1-2 cases) the wall, but we did not know the details of those. and people thought they would witness a Ben 10 Alien Force type of infiltration. or maybe Titans that took human forms for so long that they began to think of the real humans as the villains and of themselves as the innocent. or maybe the Eldians are just a 30-50-100 years long project/apocalypse that is restricted to one area of the world, as a kind of an experiment. or maybe there are other 3-walled-communities with other 1-2 million people trying to get to each other.
but what we got in 2016 was the worst kind of scenario. one done in an extremely lazy and st00pid fashion. as i said, plagiarism and false dilemma's. i don't care about "child indoctrination/child soldiers". what's the point of s4 ep 3? what reason was there for Reiner to not want to prove himself as willing to repent for Eldia's sins? or for s4 ep15? we can easily conclude Zeke is right, even if Grisha was kinder to him. but Isayama wanted to show he "has skills" and "is able to write psychological trauma's in one's childhood" and "on brainwashing". ok, he gets a 7/10. but the context makes useless, as Zeke could arrive at that conclusion without it. also, this just proves Grisha and Grice are denialists. they did not have their memories altered like the Paradisian Eldians(they are continental Eldians), but they still ignore the Eldian crimes. millions upon millions, just because "my sister d1ed so their drive for revenge is invalid". and i know they are presented as living 80 years after and the education being influenced by human/Marleyan history manuals, but still. i feel like i am repeating myself. you should have simply just tackled the points in my review from the beginning.
it is proven as trash as it fails to properly tackle those subjects. and this can be proven, in an objective manner. yet you could not refute those points. and the fact that you try to portray this narrative as a "non-slop" is just laughable.
the audience was still "hyped" by the "humans vs titans" scenario that just unfolded in episodes 13-18(of season 3) and before, and they were not able to trully process the information in 19-22 as their brains were still "burning with fervour". your "cycle of oppression" defence is not valid either, the Eldians lose in that aspect as well. anyway, tackle point by point my review. let's see if you can actually argue. you might also defend the st00pidity of Code Geass because "it tackles imperialism and oppression", even if it does so poorly.
