@ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty this is both the best and worst thing I've seen today, thank you friend

@ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty @coldacid
I never thought of it as a character assassination because it's consistent with Eren's early motivations. He cared most about his friends living to see a world without titans, and he was willing to become the villain to do it. My pet theory from the ending of S4 Part 1 was that he was becoming the villain to sacrifice himself, and that bore out.

@skypage @ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty it’s the whole “boo hoo I’m gonna die a virgin and Mikasa’s gonna get fucked by Chad Jean” thing that ruined him for me, especially with his attitude towards Mikasa’s overbearingness even before telling her off.

@coldacid @ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty
Over the top paraphrasing aside, can you blame Eren given the circumstances?

@skypage @ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty yes. Here's a guy with a kill count greater than Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Doomguy combined, and he's crying like a little bitch because he's gonna die without ever getting with the girl he's been tsundere for for most of his life. That's just ridiculous.

@coldacid @LukeAlmighty @skypage Eren could have plowed Mikasa's rice fields at LITERALLY ANY POINT IN THE STORY, if he actually wanted to do that. He didn't, because he viewed her as family, and him being *in love* with Mikasa was an extremely late retcon, probably due to so much of the fanbase supporting that ship (hell, even Wit Studio actively pushed Eren-Mikasa...).

@ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty @skypage the one and only hope for Eren is the fanon idea that he cucked Historia's bully and her baby is secretly a Yeager, but Isayama ain't saying shit. Given everything else, I lean towards believing that it's just a theory and Isayama isn't jossing it from a combination of being lolmysterious and fear of lynching by Historiafags no matter the answer

@coldacid @ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty
I'll take your word on that. I don't bother getting into the gossip of who's shipping who or the like. I can make my own opinions and enjoy the art my own way.

@coldacid @ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty
Personally, never understood people berating artists for not writing their own story the way a spectator would prefer it. But then, I'm also the sort who would compliment an actor for doing a good job of making me HATE the villain they play on-screen. The art and the artist are two distinct entities even if they're related.

@skypage @ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty I kinda get it, but yeah it's pretty dumb. Niggas need to enjoy the stories they see for what they are and not get so mad about which characters are fucking each other.

That said, I still get great amusement from those people when they lose their shit. Very 🍿 stuff.

@coldacid @ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty
That I don't doubt. 😆 Probably the same sort of appeal that draws people to watching trainwrecks on "reality" TV

@skypage @ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty or dashcam videos for that matter

@coldacid @ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty
You're right, trainwrecks both literal and figurative 😂

@skypage @ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty also...

> The art and the artist are two distinct entities even if they're related.

WHY THE FUCK CAN'T MOTHERFUCKERS EVER SEEM TO UNDERSTAND THIS

So much cancel culture bullshit is predicated on the idea that the art and the artist are the same, and holy fuck does that rustle my jimmies something fierce

@ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty @coldacid
Considering the dropped hints from women I missed in my own adolescence, it's not that unbelievable to me that he'd be oblivious before eventually realizing his own feelings near the end. We just have different opinions on the series, and that's okay with me.

@coldacid @LukeAlmighty @skypage Yeah, I wrote about this not too long ago - not only was Eren as a character ruined, he stopped making any sense whatsoever:

- Eren is an incompetent retard who should never have ended up with the Founder Titan power in the first place, and who lost touch with reality, that’s why everything went to shit – except that Eren repeatedly proved to be a brilliant mastermind, manipulating everyone (including his dead father) and outwitting Zeke the genius. Also, his retarded plan actually WORKS, due to the anime retconning the fate of Paradis Island.

- Eren is destroyed and depressed by the revelation of the über-shitty future that awaits him and the world – which is why is he shows FEROCIOUS, UNSTOPPABLE determination to bring about said feature. For fuck’s sake, the nigger TEARS OFF HIS OWN HAND just to escape the shackles Zeke placed on him and reach Founder Ymir. He was that fucking desperate to die a crybaby incel cuck and be sent to hell for being Cringe?

- Eren was never this great Nationalist leader wishing to save his people – he was just your generic faggot Shonen hero who only fights for his friends. 80% of the world is destroyed, Paradis isn’t actually secure – who cares, my friends will survive….except Eren admits that he DIDN’T actually know if they would survive his actions (and we all saw the amount of Plot necessary to keep them alive). And speaking of Eren’s loved ones: "Hey Reiner, why did my mother have to die?” – you tell me Eren, YOU fucking tell me motherfucker…

- Eren was madly in love with Mikasa, and is big mad that he’ll never pound that Hapa pussy – except for the fact that he NEVER, EVER showed romantic interest in her throughout the story. Look, I genuinely do not care about the Shipping Wars, and I think both Historia and Mikasa are Quality Waifu choices – I’d personally go with Historia, probably, but Mikasa is absolute Sex as long as she’s not saddled with a dogshit lesbo haircut. But be honest guys, Eren and Mikasa were NOT written to end up together, while the chemistry between Eren and Historia was absolutely there – and the last-minute retcon is so fucking obvious, given just how retarded Historia’s arc during the last season ends up being.

- Eren was a Slave of Freedom – except he apparently *wanted* to carry out the Rumbling all along? If he’s doing what he wanted to, how is he a slave?

- Eren is going to Hell for killing 1.6 billion people – LOL JK, he actually gets reincarnated as a bird, and stalks Mikasa to this day.
